than Mr.. LOdge-that the United States is not one
q the powers signatory to the treaty Of Berlin.
This fact s grievous handicap to those who believe
1t is the mission Of the United States to go o0t and
regulate the world. Secretary Root pointed out q
few months ago how the Uuited States was crippled
in respect Of the Congo. However, the mere fact
that this country has as little right to meddle with
the Congo as it has with the shocking practice Of
pOlyagamy In Tibet need not deter anybody. In the
absence Of any other authority, Americans can al

Az Great Britain is more anxious to 'ameliorate
conditions" IN the Congo by relieving King Leopold
81 the burden Of government, IL possible that the
corporation and aid Of the United States in such
an enterprise might prove valuable. Il ought to be
apparent to the most besOtted intelligence that Eng

with less cruelty and greater profit than the nh1m-

ofdiplomacy If the longed-for alliance with Great
Britain could be expedited; while ct the same time

to find-Carlson stabbing himself with a
knife and beating his head with A stone
hammer. The men grappled with Carl

For time there was talk of lynching
but as Carlson admitted the crime, and
believing that the courts will deal out
summary punishment, the people decided
to let the law take its course.
