Treaty of Washington"

Now that peace treaty is assured specu-
latton is rife to what it Is to be called.
From the beginning there has been a gen.
eral feeling that the formal act of signing
the document would take place in this city
and for this reason. out of compliment to
the United States. through whose good
offices the peace has been arranged. the re-
suit OF the deliberations would be styled
the Treaty of Washington Immediately
after the selection of Portsmouth as the So
journiug place of the ENJOYS during the ne
gotiattons-that city being selected chiefly
for climatic reasons. the suggestion arose
that the result would be the Treaty of
Portsmouth. But thereupon the people of
Maine pointed out that the negotiations
would be conducted exclusively upon the
soil OF that state, the so-called Portsmouth
navy yard being in fact at Kittery. on the
Maine side of the Piscataqua river There
fore a sentiment evolved in favor of calling
the peace pact the Treaty of Kittery. And
now that the treaty has become GER
tainty. largely in consequence of the infiu-
enCe of the President. 1t has been proposed
that IL be called. out of personal compl-
ment to him, the Treaty of oyster Bay. the

mer home TO affix their signatures
Not one of these later propositions has

for the closing Of great war episode des-
tined to affect the future of at least two ma

WBanzaii"

The result at Portsmouth may be summed
up in these terms Japan gained everything.
and Russia lost everything but the money
cost OF the war. 1t came to a point where
the choice was between peace. and an in
definite prolongation of what up to date had
been one of the bloodiest conflicts in his
tory. Russia, beaten at every stage of the
game. was willing to be stili further beaten
and sacrifice lives without number rather
than pay an indemnity while Japan, vic
torious in a way that had commanded the
wonder and admiration of the world. and
entitled by the presidents OF history to
money compensation for her losses. re-
nouuCed her claims In the interests of hu-
manity. She has never appeared greater
than in that act. and the longer it is con-
templated the greater she will appear 1t
would have been impossible to other than a
brave and magnanmous people.
What has been Japan's greatest achieve
ment in this war? One might answer. the
raising of herself to a position among the
first overs of the globe. She has done that
beyond all doubt. One might answer, the
restoration of Manchuria to China and the
establishment of new conditions in Korea.
whereby the situation in the east is made to
conform to the desires of all the nations
Russia excepted. That service Is undoubt-
IDLY very considerable
But is there not greater than either of
these achievements? And ike all the great
est of great things. does it not confer larger
benefits on others than on the doer? If the
calling OF an assembly in Russia develops
Nlong the lines of the purpose announced,
and as the result of ii Russia advances as
n nation, and her people come into oppor-
tunitieS hitherto denied them. and inteli-
gence and happiness take the place of igno-
rance and Indebtedness, will not the credit
be Japans? Except for this war would the
present car have been brought to an act
even slightly recognizing the rights of his
subjects? Would not the brutal and cor
rupt rule Of the grand dukes. now shaken
have continued for many years longer?
Who shall say. therefore, that as the Jap
anese reverence the memory of our Com
mOdore Perry. who executed the policy
which gave them their opportunity and
opened their eyes to the paths of progress
the Russians in time will reverence the
memory of Admiral Togo. who, with his
guns, put the finishing touches to contest
which led to a new era for their country,
and a government under which they be-
came more than the beasts of the field?

Taft and the Presidency.

The London Times has the following in
formation from this side on the subject of
the next presidency:
IT appears we have now and for the COM
ing three years, II all goes well. to think
OF the present Secretary OF War as a cand.-
date for the next presidency. More strictly
he is. or IS likely to be, candidate for the
republican nomination. As matters stand
today, there Is no great q. ference between
the two. Mr.. Taft has been talked of as
candidate ever since Mr.. Roosevelt an
nounced, Immediately after his election last
year. that under no circumstances would
he stand again that he would not accept
another nomination IL il came TO him. Al

the general popular Imagination is that OF
the Secretary of War
This is much too strong. Judge Taft Is a
very attractive man, and has made
marked impression on the country, but as
yet the question of the republican candi-
dacy for 1908 is altogether an open one The
drift Is to no man. The field is an excep-
tionally able one. Not in all Its history has
the republican party possessed more leaders
qualified by large experience and high tai
ents for the Office of chief magistrate The
contest. both as II now stands and in its
promised developments, is a beautiful one.
But maybe its most interesting feature is
the fact that. Notwithstanding the number
of prominent men who now figure in the
speculation, the nomination may, in the
end. go to dark horse. The intense rival
ry of so many masterful spirits must be
taken into account. And then the issue for
that year is not today defined. 1t may be
the tariff. 1t may be the railroads and
trusts combined. 1t may be an issue shaped

In substance as yet SO confused, that what
may come of 1t all before the summer of

In the case of Judge Taft. too. it must be
remembered that his ambition lies in the
line of his profession. and not In that of
politics. and If the country were to be de-
prived by deals in the next three years OF
the highly valuable and valued services of
Chief Justice Fuller. Judge Taft. in all
probability. would succeed him on the SUI

Will Help Some.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Laws to prevent the indiscriminate sale
of poisons. which are proposed by the llli-
nois Pharmaceutical Association. are to be
desired, but Ii is doubtful whether they
will prove entirely effective. Experience
has shown that the man who wants poi
son, like the man who wants whisky, is
pretty sure to get it-law or no law. The
matter is difficult to deal with for other
reasons. Even under existing laws the
druggist Is not allowed to sell a dose of
strychnine, for instance, but he may sell
bottle of some proprietary compound
which contains enough strychnine to kill
family The pharmacists will have to
consider how this Is to be stopped before
they can accomplish their reform.

"Entangling Alliances"
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
We may look to see many editorial artl-
cles appearing in the journals not only OF
this country but of Europe. pointing out
how the peacemaking at Portsmouth marks,
finally the departure of the United States
from its traditional policy of isolation. its
formal entry upon the field of world poll
tics, its rejection of the counsel of the
Farewell Address against "entangling al
lances." 1t is worth pointing out that not
only is this not true, but the very reverse
of it Is true. The counsels of the Farewell
Address and the precepts of Washington
are indicated by the success of the Presl-
dent Of the United States as a peacemaker,
after the hugest war of modern times 1t is
because we are in no concert, because we
have nothing to do with other powers in the
way of making common cause with them,
that we have brought two angry combat t
ants together

Growth Of Fraternal Societies.
From the Cleveland Leader.


In the broadcast sense the fraternal So
cieties of the United States have enjoyed
gains far exceeding the rate of increase IN
the population of the country. This phase
of American life means much for the unity
and harmony of the nation. The great fra
ternal societies know neither sectional nor
racial lines. They bring together many ele
ments of the population, often widely Sepa-
rated in other interests and associations in
a spirit of cooperation and mutual helpful
ness 1t is good training for a self-govern-
ing people of heterogeneous nationaiities oc-
cupying a country the extent of which is IN
some measure conducive to sectional diff
ferences and local differences.

From the KOchester UhlOH Hlu auVtrtIstr
Many of the largest advertisers In the

and that no results come from the placing
of signs on hillsides and in all sorts of con-
spicuous places The concerns that do that
sort of work are curtailing expenses, know
Ing well that the beginning of the end of
their business Is at hand In addition TO
this, there Is a decided movement all over
the country to do away with the billboard
horror. the argument against 1t being its
hideousness and the marring effect on the
scenery in the rural districts and its DAM
age to contiguous property in the cities.
