DIFFICULTIES OF DISARM-
AMENT.

thrown by the first peace conference
at The Hague, is apparently having
quite as hard a time to secure recog-
milton in the program for the con-
ference to be held this year
England alone, according to the press
dispatches, seems enthusiastic for re-
duction of armamen-s Of the Con-
tinental Powers, Mr.. w. T. Stead
writes in the London Times that
There will be practical unanimity
among the governments as to the
impossibility of forbidding the dis
cussion of ornaments at the con-
ference, and an absolute unanimity
as to the impossibility of arriving at
any practical decision as to what
should be DONE" This opinion was
published prior to the dispatches
Fl ON Berlin which anr ounced the &C
ceptance by the German Government
III the program proposed by Russia,
in which program no mention of dis
armament is made. Other Powers,
rotably. France, are said to be ar
rayed against discussion of this quest
ion, and so, if it is to be brought up
at all, Mr.. Stead believes that either
Great Britain or the United States
must do it. 'm
The reason for the hesitancy OF
Europe to take up the question seems
to be merely that the time is nor
yet ripe" This is the report of Pro-
fcsor Martens, who has been
sounding the Powers in behalf of the
Russian Government. 1t is hard for
me to see. why the time is
not ripe Agreeing with Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, the British
Prime Minister, in his campaign for
discussion of the question at The
Hague, the Boston Herald says:
He argues that Is it were desir-
able to attempt to limit the burden
of armaments in 1893 il is still more
desirable to do so today, when the
weight of this burden has increased
enormously. This is the more true
because the sentiment in favor of
peace and the idea of arbitration
ard peaceful adjustment of interna-
tional disputes have become much
stronger Speaking for his own Gov
ernment, the Premier says: We al
ready have given all earnest of our
sincerity by considerable reductions
in our navel and military expenditure,
and we are prepared to go further
if we find similar disposition in other

whercupon Our kin beyond the sea
with whom war is unthinkable-
respond by ordering three more
great battle ships. All of these will
become junk before there is occasion
to use them. Meanwhile Our navel
expenses have increased from less
than $3o,ooo,ooo to more than
$,oo 900 within ten years.
And all this when the American policy
of arbitration, more than century
old, has been approved by all the
great Powers"
ITO all who view the subject in
the light of full civilization " the con-
siderations Of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman are unanswerable, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. To say that
"the time is not ripe it continues,
is Simply an illustration of the per-
sistence of the half-civilzed instinct
OF force, and the unspoken recogni-
ton that if the question is brought
to discussion all the arguments OF
reason and intelligence are in its
favor"
From the plea for more time the
Boston Transcript draws the con-
clusion that leach opposing Power
doubtless hopes to increase its rela-
tive strength before the time for
final adjustment of the equation ar
rives." Such, also, is the comment
of the Milwaukee Wisconsin, which
says, regarding England and Ger
many in particular:
CAS- to cessation in the rivalry for
increase of armament, the position
of Great Britain is the most liberal
but it by no means fellows that lib
eral principles led her to take it. She
has as matters stand the largest navy
in the world. To be able to stop in
creasing and still retain her supre-
macy would suit her TO t. With
Germany the case is different. She
wants bigger navy than she has
so far secured. When she gets it she
will doubtless be as ready as Eng
land to say, Now let's all stop build
ing war-ships.'"
Everything considered, therefore,
there is little hope expressed, even
among those most desiring it, that
anything definite will be done at the
coming peace conference to reduce
or limit ornaments. That the mat
Ter will probably be brought up for
discussion is less doubtful. Mr. w.
I. Stead, quoted above, outlines in

Naval officers are looking for
ward with great deal of interest
to the coming trial of the subma-
rine boats at Naraganset. There
are two concerns interested in
these tests, one of which has
always had all the contracts for
submarines from the government,
and an other which has never had
any. There is something a little
peculiar in the way that the
appropriations have always been
made to favor one firm. Ofcourse,
there is no telling which type of
boat will prove the better till there
has been a trial of them under
similar conditions. But both have
made good records and the endur-
ance tests, tests of rapidity in

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

In all the discussions of the mat
ter of campaign contributions, the
main point appears to have been
overlooked. AS to receipt of funds
from large corporations for the con.
duct of campaigns, general and To-
cal,neither of the old political par
tiescanclaim particularvirtue. Nor
should either be censured. The
American people deserve criticism
for making it necessary for poli-
tical parties to solicit aid from
corporate sources. G m p align
committees seek such aid simply
because they cannot secure the
necessary fund from the people.
Necessary fund for whatp To do
the political work that the people
should but invariably do not do,
not only during, but between
campaigns, not only at elections,
but in primaries and conventions
and before. But this is not the
main point. 1t is notso important
as to whence campaign funds
come as to whittier they go. How
they are obtained is not SO serious
as how they are used. For in
stance, it is known that the large
insurance interests contributed to
the Roosevelt compaign fund. The
railroads and other prominent in
dustries of the country contributed
more or less generously. Can II
be shown that the funds they gave
resulted In the corruption of the
Roosevelt administration? Ifnot,

POLITICAL POINTS
Weekly Letter From The
National Capitol
,sssssssssssssesass q

Food manufacturers all over the
country'must take notice that the
government does not guarantee
the qcslisz, Many food or drug put
up under the sys food law. This
is the announcement of Secretary
Wilson of the Department. of Agri-
culture this week. There has been
a deal of backing and filing, much
bitterness and many conferences
at the Department of Agriculture
over the labels permissible under
the pure food law. The depart
ment has dictated the form of
labels the manufacturer shall use
and has assigned each of them a
serial number which is registered
at the Department. SO that if at any
time goods sold are not up to the
standard of purity set forth by the
label, the offending concern can
be easily traced and convicted of
misbranding.
On the whole it has not been a
bad thing for the manufacturers.
They have as rule raised the
prices on most of their prepared
foods under the pretext that it
cost them more money to comply
with the law. And many of them
have been using the law and the
registery as pretext for adver-
tising broadcast that the purity of
their wares are guaranteed by the
government. Of course the gov
ernment does not do anything of
the sort. The Commissioner of
Internal Revenue recently said
specifically that the government
would not even guarantee the
purity of whiskey bottled in bond
and with the government stamp
on it. But it does rather look like
splitting hairs for the Secretary of
Agriculture to fume and illuminate
as he has done over the advertise
ing use that has been made of the
Departments registery numbers.
The government does say that
food products to bear the stamp of
approval of the department, must
be put up in certain way, and
while this may not be govern
ment guarantee in the strict legal
meaning of the term, it looks
like it to the man on the street.
But the Secretary says that he is
going to prosecute and denounce
all manufacturers who resort to
this sort of advertising. So the
manufacturers had better take
notice. Also the people who
furnish the purchase money can
take notice that the government
does not guarantee anything, and
if they think An agricultural de-
partment label means anything,
they can think again, for it does
not. At least, Secretary Wilson

says SO, and he ought to know.

Speculation continues rife over
the Ohio situation and the general
outlook for the next nomination.
Some of the political wiseacres
have discovered possibility that
the President may "drap" Taft
and throw his influence in support
ofICortelyou or Hughes. This is an
important enough development mt
except for being handicapped
by the fact that it ia not so.
The President, as he has
pointed QUITO a number of callers,
has never taken up Taft or any
other man in the sense of support
ing him for the next nomin alton.
What he has said to all inquirers
was that he wanted to see q man
nominated who was foot-loose and
would not 60 into Office with a
corporation collar on which would
be the case with any one of several
possible candidates.
The President is interested in
the fight that Gov. Hughes is hav-
ing with the Legislature in New
York, and If need arises, will
assert his right as a citizen of New
York to help the Governor in any
way he can. Should Hughes win
in New York and Taft lose in Ohio,
of which there is always a possi-
bility, the President would nat
urally use his influence in favor
of the strongest candidate. There
is even a chance that Secretary
Cortelyou may enter the race in
New York, though this is not an
imminent possibility. If Mr..
Cortelyou developes sufficient
strength to be serious factor in
the fight for the nomination, the
President will accord him the same
kind of an open field that he will
accord all the other candidates of
his own faith and in the end, the
horse who shows best in the trial
gallops is the one that will have
his backing. The President has
never gone any further than this
in declaring his preference for any
particular man, and that talk of
his having withdrawn his support
from Taft is futile because he
never gave it.
