Democratic Tribute to Roosevelt.

Butte Miner.
Some of the Miners contemporaries,

g%otiatiOns were about to be broken

velt's efforts and talk about him hav-
ing ''butted in" where he had no bust.
ness, will find themselves in q rather
unfortunate position at this time.
Not as a republican. but as the head
Of the American nation, President
Roosevelt has accomplished the great
est diplomatic achievement Of modern
times.
Even though his effort had resulted
unsuccessfully he would have been en-.
titled to credit for attempting to do a
splendid service for the world.
Undoubtedly, if through no fault of
his the peace conference had proved a
| failure, he would have been unfairly
criticized by those who do not take in.
to account the intention of mankind,
and consider success only worthy of
commend alton.
President Roosevelt has rendered
the whole world y great service, and,
as far as democrats are concerned, it
should be q pleasure to them to give
him q just need OF praise to make up
for the many things which he does
that they feel compelled to criticise.
President Roosevelt did not origin.

teness. This was the exposure 81
Tammany Hall by the New York
Times, whose proprietor, George
Jones, YVES offered 81, 1000, 900 to dis.
continue his pursuit of Tweed and his
fellow ringsters. The Times was in.
spired by zeal for honest government.
But it Is not always necess airy to as.
sumo such zeal in order to account for
the efficiency of the press in running
down corruption. The fierce competi.
ton for circulation would alone com.
pei the newspapers of every city to
make a showing of their devotion to
the public service. The paper which
uncovers corruption, ven for sensa-
tional purposes. is none the less a
valuable public servant. AS the ven
cradle prelate suggests, the fear OF
disgrace by newspaper exposure is
not the highest ethical ground of hon.
esty, but it sleeps many a man to the
path Of rectitude.'
The fact that corruption is being
shown up in so many states is not a
reason why anyone should despair of
the republic. Rather Is it q cause for
rejoicing. Governor Folk, of Mis-.
souri,, has pointed out that up to three
years ago only 81 cases of bribery
had been passed upon by the final
courts in the last century. 1t is safe
say than that number of convictions
for this crime will be secured and sus.
tanned during the coming twelve.

pEACE TREATY Is SIGNED.
Russian and Japanese Clasp Hands and
swear Everlasting Friendship.

PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 5.-The treaty
of Portsmouth was signed shortly be.
fore / o'clock this afternoon in the
conference room of the navy general
store at the navy yard. The firing of
a national salute of 10 guns was the
signal which told the people of Ports
mouth, kittery and New Castle that
the peace of Portsmouth was an ac-
complished fact, and the church bells
in the three towns were soon pealing
forth a joyful refrain.
For ~ minutes those outside the
conference Don anxiously awaited
the signal. Suddenly an orderly
dashed to the entrance of the peace
building and waved his hand to the
gunner a few feet away, and the open
ing shot OF the salute rang out on the
clear air of the soft September after
noon, proclaiming peace between Rus
STA and Japan.
As soon as the delegates had taken
their seats, Mr.. Sato left his chair and
went to NJ. Whites side with the Jap
anese copies of the treaty, which he
placed before him. AT the same TIME
NJ. Plancon placed the Russian copies
Of the treaty before Baron Komura.
Almost at the same moment the two
selected pens from the centers of the
table and signed their names, first to
the French and then to the English
text. The copies were then signed by
Baron Rosen and Mr.. Takahira. MIR.
Sato returned the Japanese copies for
the signatures of Baron Komura and
Mr.. Takahira. Nj. Witte and Baron
De Rosen affixed their signatures to
the Russian copies and the treaty of
Portsmouth a. signed, the ceremony
being completed at $3.50.
To this moment no word had broken
the silence Of the room. Throwing
his pen aside, Nj. White, without a
word, reached acros the table and
grasped Baron komura's hand. His
conferees followed and the Russian
and japanese delegates remained for a
moment in silence, their right hands
tightly clasped across the conference
table. The war was over. Russia
and Japan were ~ more friends.
Baron De Rosen was the first to
break the silence. Rising from his
seat the ambassador, looking Baron
Komura and Mr.. Takahira straigh,
in the eye, said q few words which one
had only to hear to know that they
came from his heart.
Baron komura replied that he
shared entirely the views of Baron
De Rosen. The treaty OF peace which
they have signed was in the interes,
of humanity and civilization, and he
was happy to believe that it would
bring about q firm, lasting peace be-
tween the two nieghboring countries,
At the conclusion of Baron Ko'
mura's remarks MIR. Witte arose anG

sen and the Japanese plenipotentaries
alone for q few minutes. The four re-
tired to the Russian Office and were
closeted for ten minutes. What trans
pired in that final conference of the
peace makers the world may never
know.
