 lt has bcon several times officially de- nied that treaty between the United states and Japan has been concluded, Now the report undergoes a variation, Dispatches assert that there Is an agreement between this country and Pacific, As outlined, the agreement provides for the maintenance of the status quo in respect to each others possessions, for the preservation of the
 integrity of China by all peaceful means, the observance of the open-door prInci- pie and for consultations as to eyentu- allties The existence of an agreement Is consistent with the deuIals of a treaty having been concluded, Agree ment is an elastic term X treaty Is q treaty and as such becomes operative only on It's ratification by the senate, which is chronically dIsinclined to sanction alliances, When John Hay was secretary of state his aim was to carry on foreign affairs by the sub stItution of policies" for treaties thus avoiding the interference of the senate In thls way we asserted the open-door principle and participated in the march to Pelln, and in the subsequent read justment of the relations of China to the western world Everything that was then done was accomplished m ana because of the absence of a treaty, The | method while expeditions Is open lo | the objection of It's liability to commit | the United States to course Of acuoN | not in harmony with the views of con gress, which must, of course furnish l the funds necessary in certain even tualllics to make the policy effective

WELCOME To AN EDITOR.

We learn with interest of the en- trance of George & Palmer of New London into the newspaper field on the back of the New London Tele- graph, the majority stock of which he now controls.
 We take 1t to be MT palmer's pur- pose to so control the columns of the Telegraph that 1t will hc representa- tive of the cloanest thought of that section of Connecticut. and not rep resentative of the ldlest He Is a man of the highest character and Is deter mined to do all in his power for the good name of his native state. and he recognizes in a newspaper the oppor- tunity he wants.
 We welcome him into tho field and wish him every success. The more mon of the character of Mr. Palmer there are in Connecticut journalism as patron, tae better 1t will he for all concerned, He has at least learn. cd by experience what some of the things are reputable newspaper should avoid in dealing with others.

NEWSPAPER METHODS.

When Col George Harvey of Har- per's Weekly, was at Yale last winter to deliver his series of lectures in the Bromley series on journalism, he made number of unusual state ments. He said nothing, perhaps. which deserved more general com mendatlon than when he said he con- sidered one of the most honorable habits for newspaper to cultivate was a willingness to admit itself in the wrong. Colonel Harvey at that time had printed sample copy of an im- aginary newspaper. He called 1t The Bromley Morning News. On the edi- toral page he inserted an admission of an error in the issue of the day before" To that paragraph he called especial attention in his lecture.
 1t Is a characteristic of the Amerl- can newspaper, especially with those of the metropolis, where newspaper competition is strongest to be unwll- ing to admit mistakes. Colonel liar vcy probably has witnessed 1t every day in New York,
 It Is pleasing, therefore, at this time to note the unqualified way in which the New York World has come for ward to brand It's recently published synopsis of the Hale interview with the German kaiser as mistaken, mis- leading and misChievous." We do not know whether the World is taking this step upon its own initiative or not but we assume it is Otherwise il would, of course, deserve no especial commendation for what It has done Perhaps this action on the part of the World appears to he the more re. markable and hence the more com mendable in view of the great number of other similar stories which it ire quently publishes stories whch later turn out 10 he quite without founda. ton and yet for which no excuse noi apology is offered in any shape or manner
 And yet while making special men. ton of ono New York paper, we are not at all blind to the fact that many other papers, both iu and out Of

Gotham, are daily offering the public each morning stories on their front pages which, If they are not wholly foundatlonless, are greatly eXaggerat- ed, We believe the time Is coming when the American public will not stand being hoodwinked continually in this way. Recently, In an article In Youths Companion President Hadley said he thought 1t was only a reason able and fair conclusion to judge a man by the paper he reads as well az by the company he keeps. If the day is coming when this will be so, men will be more careful about what news papers they select to read, and, in turn, the newspapers will bc moro careful about the scoops they sec lect to present to their readers.
 Take this interview with the kaiser, for example. Both abroad and at home there have resulted curious misunderstanding because of 1t. All this has been because of tho over zeal of our newspapers to he able to present to their readers each morning something very readable, even bord- ering on the sensational The news papers are not to be blamed altogoth- CT, The fault largely lies in the read CTS, for they got just the kind of pa pors they demand They are the cooks. And the reform In these matters, if it comes, must come from them. If they demand that their newspapers shall openly admit their indiscretions and mistakes, the latter will be forced to do so It will be a happy day for American newspaper dom when such a practice is insti- tuted

Tho frequent printing of the name of the president elect as William Howard Tart rather than William II Taft or W II.

To the Editor of the Kick Column
 Seeing that you have established a kick column in your paper would like 10 register a kick also What have to say Is this Why is it that all the wooden and two-story buildings in the block between Orange and Church on Chapel street are allowedt Q stand7 some of them should have come down long ago 10 keep pace with the ever growing population of the city; but no. they are allow d to stand there and disgrace tG, to every stranger who comes ,u " Haven have talk ed with people from out of town and they have the same opinion as I have that new buildings should be put up in place of the ones now standing there,
 Is t that the owners of the buildings don't care for the civic beauty of their city, or Is t that they are afraid lo spend their money? 1T you will look this block over you will agree with me that those buildings shouldn't be on a business street like Chapel street and that they are an cyesore to New Ha- ven
