stance, it acquires a wholly new and
especially unattractive abomination
It is widely known that not only
the Pension Office, but nearly every
other bureau of the executive SER
vice, is honey-combed with this
practice. It feeds on improvidence
and makes reckless expenditure-fo
a seasOn-a virtue rather than vice.
That its victims bend ultimately
under the lash Of a ruthless terror
ism, that despair claims them and
suicide offers the only peace, are
aspects of the system its adherents
and beneficiaries do mo-, t,care to con-
side-.
It is a lesser evil, though one that
chiefs of bureaus should not over
look, that this business is prosecuted
by Government employees. in Govern
ment time. Not only the ingenious
collectors themselves, but their hap
less debtors, devote annually many
hours. paid for by the United States,
to the trs nsaction of this evil bust
ness. How many hideous hours, OF
their own time as well as the Govern
ment's, are given by the debtors to
contemplation of the plight in which
their improvident folly has landed
them. it would be profitless to en-
deavor to compute.
That the evil is capable of eradi-
cation, or at any rate of mitigation,
the course and action OF Commits
sioner Warner abundantly proves.
The Times commends his stalwart
stand to the consideration Of other
heads of bureaus and departments.

Another Treaty Problem.

We are informed that Baron Speck
Won Sternburg, the German ambassa-
dor, is bringing to Washington, for
submission to President Roosevelt,
proposals for a new trade agreement
between the United States and Ger
many. It will be interesting to learn
just what these proposals are and to
observe just how they will be re-
celved.
They are suggested in the state
ment of Chancellor Won Buelow that
each country has special aptitudes
and products of which the other may
avail itself and yet maintain the
revenue and protective systems ad-
justed to its individual situation. -
Save to the bigoted standpatter, this
would seem to offer a plan of agree
ment eminently safe and sane and
likely to meet with wide approval in
both countries.
The present agreement, ii will be
recalled, expires on March 1. next.
The German government has inform
ed the State Department that it viii
not be renewed in it's present form.
The interests of American trade de-
mand there shall be trade agree
men with the great Teutonic empire.
and the dictates OF the shrewd COM
mon sense we love to think essential
ly American are that it shall be form
ed on that give and take" basis.
which will make it mutually profit
able and mutually satisfactory.
Were the decision left TO the State
Department, it is easy to conclude
that Secretary Root would not find
the task especially difficult. The
situation is complicated somewhat
by the fact that this treaty. as all
others, must be made by the Execu-
tive with the advice and consent of
the Senate" Secretary Root. being
wise and prudent, will secure at least
a part of that advice and consent"
before the treaty is signed and not
send TO the upper house of Congress
a convention certain of rejection.
In other words, he will talk over.
with leaders of the Senate, the terms
Of the treaty and seek to reach an
understanding OF the concessions the
Senate will approve.
All the rest Of US can do to help
is TO pray the Senate will not adopt
this particular occasion to issue an.
other Declaration of independence.
