Wanted-An American Decision.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The Santo Domingo treaty, by the ia
vorable report of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, is advanced to a
new stage. 1t must be matter of re-
greet that the vote on reporting it is
wholly partisan. Every Democratic
Senator would have voted for it. if the
treaty had come from a Democratic
President. The South favors President
Roosevelt's policy as much as the North,
the Southwest as much as the North
west. This treaty is national act. 1t
is in no sense partisan.
But, however reported, the treaty is
now before the Senate. The country
asks for full debate and careful con-
sideration. No haste is needed. Ample
time exists. No legislation presses.
No business waits. The great issues in
volved in this most important nstru-
ment, whose future results may be
epoch-making, demand and ought to re-
ceive full, exhaustive, unsparing dis
cussion. The United States has right
to ask that it's Senate shall reach deci-
sion, when decision does come, with
no argument unexpressed and no con-
sideration overlooked.
But the American people also de-
mands that when this decision is made
it shall be an American decision, with
all that this implies. Amended the
treaty may be; but let no amendment
forget national responsibilities or evade
national duties. When the vote comes
on ratification let it be on an instru-
ment, American and national, looking
forward and not backward, seeing the
future and realizing its needs, duties
and responsibilities.
Nothing less will satisfy the Ameri-
can people and nothing less can the
Senate afford to give. Its decision
comes must ratify treaty which
accepts the growth and advance of the
Monroe Doctrine, recognizes the new
duties and responsibilities of the nation,
refuses all foreign intermeddling and
meets an American issue in an Ameri-
can spirit, with patriotic courage and
national responsibility.

Some of our Democratic contempora-
ries are already predicting that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will do some impulsive
foolish things during his present ad-
that will destroy or greatly
injure his popularity. They made the
same predictions when he became Pres
ident by the death of Mr.. Mckinley.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-03-16

that the white voters in the great white
sections of the State are thoroughly in
dignant. If we mistake not they
will find the same temper among the
masses in the cities and the counties of
East Virginia. 1t is claimed that eighty
thousand white men who were qualified
voters in the State refused to vote last
year. What did that mean then, and
what is likely to be the result if they
go the polls next Fall?

Providing for Good Roads In New York.
New York Tribune.


The good roads cause is prospecting.
After thorough consideration the Judici-
ary Committee of the Senate has favora-
bly, reported the constitutional amend
ment providing for bond issue of $50
900, 900, the proceeds to be devoted to
the improvement of the most important
highways in every county. The PROPOSE
ton is that 1000, 900 shall be expended
annually for ten years in pursuance of
a definite plan, which would result at the
end of that period in bringing up to a
high standard of utility about 10 per
cent. of the road mileage of the State,
equitably apportioned. Perhaps a
clearer idea of. the immense practical
advantage to be gained by this project
is conveyed in the statement that if it
were carried out not o farm in New
York would be more than three miles
from an excellent highway leading di-
rectIy to railroad station. The amend
ment has already been passed by one
Legislature, and if it is approved again
at the present session twill be submit
ted to popular vote next Fall.

Killed And Making Alive.
Baltimore Herald.

Baltimore Herald.
Life and death have become serious
matter of late. DR.. Osler scared half
the world by telling them that their
room was better than their company,
but he was kind enough to give man a
chance until 40. About week previ-
GUS to the delivery of the now famous
lecture DR.. Max Nordau had, in an in
terview, expressed the opinion that no
man had any originality after Is or 80
at the outside. Everything produced
after that was only an echo of what he
was before. DR.. Osler at least gave a
man fifteen years of active fruitful orig
inality-from rs to 4O-but the Partisan
expert would make a man "a has
been" at 25. He professes to speak only
for art, but as DR.. Osler spoke in the
name of science, between the two all
men peter out very quickly.
And now Professor Loeb comes for
ward with his discoveries in egg fer
tilization. He can manufacture life in
certain low organisms, and is hopeful
of discovering the principle of life. His
announcement supplements that of the
distinguished physician, and in a way
restores confidence to frightened COM
munity. Perhaps Professor Leob will
be able to present a possible system of
education before birth, so that at rs a
man can feel that he has given out all
he has in him and can join the ranks of
chloroform with an easy conscience.
For every drawback or defect in nature
there appears to be compensation.
Thus DR.. Osler's discovery of the time
of death synchronizes with Professor
Loeb's success with the beginnings of
life.

Mortality and the Trusts.
News and Courier.


DIR. Woodrow Wilson addressed the
Peoples Forum of New Rochelle, New
York, the other night, his subject being
1.-THE Individual and the Organization. Z"
DIR. Wilson rather guardedly admitted
that he was in favor of greater public
ity concerning the affairs of trusts and
corporations. He thought, however.
that the chief protection of the people
should be the character of the men who
form and manage our great industrial
enterprises. eve cannot" he said,
abolish the trusts. We must moralize
them.
A man in the rear of the hall in which
the address was delivered interrupted
DR.. Wilson to ask what John E. Parsons
who presided, and who is counsel for
many trusts, thought of publicity in
corporate management. Mr.. Parsons
fumed about the subject for awhile, and
finally said: '"The best advice he
could give the audience would be to
follow President Wilson's advice to in
vestigate the character of the men in
charge of the big industries of the
country before they invested their
money in their stocks.
1t seems to us that such arguments
and advice rather beg the question.
The opinion is we'll nigh universally held
that trusts are actually engaged in IL
legal and harmful industrial practices.
The declaration of DR.. Wilson that in
default of power to abolish the trusts
1--WE must moralize" them is in itself an
admission that they are in need of re-
formation.

Delicate Ethics.
Washington Times.

Washington Times.
Certain journals are endeavoring to
open discussion of the question whether
a woman owes to the man she marries
an account of her past.
Apparently, this is matter between
the man and the woman, and comes so
near not being the business of the out
slider that delicacy suggests the subject
be let alone. 1t is not to be supposed
that either partner in wedding COM
pact is taking the other absolutely on
faith. The very fact of such acquaint-
ance as is the almost invariable prelim-
mary to a visit to the altar, argues
some mutual familiarity with records.
The party with a past so dark that the
revelation of it would be ruinous, is only
acting in accord with the law of self
preservation in keeping it concealed.
People marry not for what the chosen
one has been, but is, and expects to be.
The term "past" is vague. Few peo-
pie marry the first person with whom
they have imagined themselves in love.
Thus, all come to the matrimonial eli
max with a sort of past" When the
young man asks the young woman if
she has ever been kissed, he is tempt
ing her to lie rather than to tell him
that which he ought to understand does
not concern him. When he is asked by
her if he ever loved before, of course,
he rolls his eyes to heaven and makes
negative declaration, WHICH is false.
She either knows it Is false or that she
has caught a chump, neither hypothesis
affording valuable satisfaction.

A Benevolent Institution.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
Just how consumers were enabled,
before the trust was formed, to buy all
kinds of meats much cheaper while the
cattle and sheep and hog growers were
receiving better rates for their products
is neither here nor there; let the dead
past bury its dead. Only unreasonable
carpers will think of these things when
they might be instructively reading Mr..
Garfeld's report. The important fact,
officially certified, is that theIBeef Trust
is our kind and gentle friend and that
we should be bad off indeed without its
kindly ministrations.

Vastness of the Canal Project.
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe.
The CELEBRITY with which under modern
conditions the isthmian canal can be dug
is indicated by the estimate of the chief
engineer that with 100 steam shovels in
stalled, with complete system of
tracks serving them, yearly record Of
80, 900, 900 cubic yards of excavation may
be reached without greater output per
shovel or greater speed in working than
has already been attained. And the
magnitude of the undertaking is shown
by the statement that, at this rate of
progress to complete sea-level canal,
with tidal lock 1000 feet long and 10
feet disable wide, at Mirafores, will take
from ten to twelve years.

naal and Railroads.

The total coal production OF the Unit
ed States is now at the rate Of 1000, 900
tons per day, and the consumption Of
coal by railroads is equal to 40 per cent
of this, or 100000 tons per day. The
fuel bill of railroad contributes about
ten per cent. of the total expense Of OPP
Grafton and 80 to 40 per cent. Of the total
cost of running the locomotives, A To-
comouve will consume on an average
81, 900 worth Of coal per annum, and for
a road having an equipment Of 1000 To-
comotives the coal bill is approximately
$4,000, O0O,-Railway Age.

The Statehood Question.

Denver Republican.
The sentiment of the East is strong
ly against the admission of feeble
States which might develop into con-
dition like that of Nevada. This will
impel Congress to insist upon union
of New Mexico and Arizona, and it is
probable that when the people see this
is all they can look for they will accept
it with great satisfaction.
President Roosevelt favors joint
statehood for New Mexico and Arizona,
and his influence is strong with Eastern
members of Congress who feel that ne
knows more about Western conditions
than they do.

According to the report of the Good
Roads Commission the people of Illinois
have spent approximately SIS, 900, 900 on
their wagon roads during the last twen-
ty-fve years, and yet these roads are in
little better condition now than they
were twenty-five years ago, Obviously
there has been great waste, which is
ascribable to the makeshift methods of
a comparatively young community and
its neglect of scientific study of the
road problem.

A Religious Revival.
Springfield, Mass, Union

Springfield, Mass, Union
The spirit of religious revival is
abroad in the land, and it is well; in fact
successful revivals are being held in
very many places all over the world.
Religious teachers and preachers are
being aroused. 1t is the flood tide that
has followed the ebb. The observance
of the Sabbath has gradually lost its
hold upon many people. In our child
hood days on the farm, the old horse
was hitched up Sunday morning, rain
or shine, and all the family attended di-
vine services. Now we often go if it
is pleasant, but almost never if we are
not certain that the preacher is an able
speaker, that the "lecture" will be a
good one, and a rain that would never
prevent us from attending social func-
ton is excuse enough for remaining at
home. 1t is time that we were aroused
to the duty of devoting a few hours
each week to the church; it is time that
men abandoned the habit of permitting
their wives to do all the religious work.
We are not going back to the "hell-
fire" revivals of half a century ago.
People can no longer be scared into be-
coming protesting Christians. But the
sound logic and the rich eloquence of
conscientious preachers is awakening
the people. AS a result of this latter
day revival, Sunday will not become
day of long faces and doctrinal discour-
ses. But it can become day of glad
ness beause the world is becoming bet
ter, because men and women are re-
alizing duty they have been neglect
ing,

The True Standard.
Nashville American.

The worlds greatest benefactors
have been men who lived and died poor
in material wealth. The scholar, the
patroit, the statesman, the artist, the
scientist, the teacher, the moral exem-
plar, these in the greatness of their
work make the mere money-grubber
seem meanly small. There is too much
worship of wealth, but it is not univer-
sal, and wealth itself is poor and feeble
as compared with the power of thought
and the spirit which moves men to work
toward the highest human ideals.
