Bolivia. Peru and Brazil.

With revolution in Colombia and an
ou,burst of anti-Argentine, anti-Peruvian
sentiment in Bolivia, and with possi-
bility of conflict between Peru and Bra
ZiI growing out of the boundary award
of the President of Argentine, South
America begins to take on a familiar as
pect. The Colombian revolution is fol-
lowing the usual course of semi-detached
eruptions against the government. which
may Laser work together into full
fedged and successful insurrection. There
Is no connection, fortunately. between
that strictly local outbreak and the latest
turmoil in southern South America.
In deciding the Peru-BolivIa boundary
dispute, President Fonseca of Argentine
appears to have greatly offended the Bo-
livians. The territory in dispute between
the two countries is the famous Acre dis
trict rich in mineral resources. II was
recently purchased from Bolivia by Bra
zil for $1OOOO,OOO despite the fact that
Peru issued a warning that the territory
was at that time involved in arbitration.
The Argentine decision virtually places
the entire Acre district within the Peru
vian boundaries and now the question
arises whether Brazil will still claim title.
Should the government at Rio Janeiro
insist upon It's right to the territory
serious complication may ensue.
The outburst at La Paz In the course
of which a mob of Bolivians attacked the
Argentine legation to express their anger
at the arbitrator. Is of no particular sig
nificance save as II may give rise to hard
feeling and lead TO diplomatic exchanges.
The real antagonists in the case are Peru
and Brazil. Bolivia is of no consequence
internationally in South America, hav-
ing practically no army and being
without front. II is not even i'm
portant as a buffer state. 1t exists ma
tionally by reason of peculiar geograph-
ical isolation and a strong racial posi-
ton Its elimination from the political
map might easily follow a conflict be-
tween the more powerful countries.
!. Bolivia has always in late years suf-
fered from the superior enterprise Of both
the Chileans and the Peruvians on the
west and the Brazilans and Argentines
on the east Its territory has steadily d.
minished through aggression. arbitration
and sale. In a sense Bolivia owes its con-
tinued independent existence to the jeal-
ousy of these four powers. any one OF
which would be only too glad to absorb

The Tariff Conference.

The conferees on the tariff bill are
men In whom the country has commence.
Leaders in politics and experienced as
legislators, they may be expected to dis
charge their duties with fidelity and IN
formation All are familiar with the
tariff question. Several are veterans IN
revision contests. There is not on the
list a single obscure or unrepresentattNe
man. The pick of both parties In Con-
gress will confront each other and have
IT out.
The country would welcome an early
report. but will not complain II the con-
ference is a little protracted. Not only
is there much to be done, but much de-
pends on the result The Senate's
changes in the Houses work are nu-
merous and some of them radical. Some
were made for trading purposes in con-
ference Others are the fruit of strong
convictions not easily to be overruled.
The Houses work answers to the same
examination. There are features OF 1t
which will be more warmly defended
than others The House is in earnest all
along the line but some things are more
important than others. and in the end
only the important things count.
Il
all the conferees are on good terms at
the White House Republicans and
democrats alike respect the President.
and by him are respected. In both House
and Senate the debates were enlivened by
charges about betraying the republican
platform, but In neither written nor
spoken word did the President echo any
of them. He saw repeatedly organiza-
ton republicans and insurgent republic
cans and had their views at first hand
of the progress made. Mr.. Beveridge
was as welcome as Mr.. Aldrich. But
neither man returned to his place in the
Senate from any visit with the Presi-
dents approval of this, that. or the
other. He remained to the end desirous
of full information, but Is today free
from all entanglements as between fac
tions.
VIII the President assist indirectly in
this conference? He wants bill Both
factions Of his party want one, and the
country expects one. There are many
ways in which he might be consulted
And not only does he want a bill, but
wants IL in circumstances that will give
assurances of effective party work at the
regular session next winter. when mat
ters scarcely second to the tariff In I'M
portance must be taken up. stitch In
time saves nine. A harmonizing word
spoken or step taken now might be worth
its weight In gold six or twelve months
hence The President is a good politician
and knows all the lines of the present
situation.

Genesis Of the Eeud.
From the Dallas News.

From the DaIdS NeEE.
There are supposed to be three main
causes to which the Kentucky feud Is
raceable-ignorance, whisky and politics,
II is rather unexpected therefore to find
an allegation to the effect that the Ken
lucky feud knows no politics. Some of
the more deadly OF the vendetta have be-
gun In politics, including those that arose
just before the civil war out of the very
common crime Of persuading the slaves
of kentuckfans to cross the river into
Ohio and thus seek their freedom. Since
then numerous killings have occurred on
election days. at the polls. thus not only
perpetuatins old feuds. but originating a
number OF new ones. But there is
another and much more important way
in which the Kentucky feud knows poll
tics, just as almost all the crimes that
are habitually or persistently indulged
In know politics. The Kentucky feud
knows politics just as a Kentucky lynch
ing or Texas lynching knows politics;
just like white-capping knows politics.

Where the President Led.
The Boston Transcript +:

us not Senator Aldrich deserving the
conservative interests in the country In
leading the Senate into a corporation tax
and toward the passage of constitu-
tional amendment taxing incomes?'
Mr. Aldrich did not lead In either mat
ter. but was himself led. The President
was the leader. and found his opportu-
nifty in the Rhode Island senator's devc-
ton to the so-called conservative inter-
eSts.
II Mr. Aldrich had heer able to show
the President that the Payne bill as
amended by the finance committee Of the
Senate would both make up the Treasury
deficit and supply the current expenses
OF the government, the President might
not have urged the corporation tax. But
he could only assert a belief. He was
questioned on that point in the Senate.
but never got beyond an estimate.
Neither the President nor the Senate
was satisfied with an estimate. The
Treasury deficit was a very real thing.
and the amount OF money the government
would need for current bills would be
large.
In this way Mr.. Aldrich was brought to
bay. so to say. Personally. he did not
like any form Of special taxation. and in
committee had voted to strike out the
inheritance tax which the House had put
into the tariff bill But when the Presi-
dent renewed the subject. and changed
from the inheritance tax to the corpora
tion tax In order to accommodate diner
ences between the two houses. Mr.. AL
drich was forced along by the situation.
He was far from being a leader.
The future. of course: is In doubt Mr.
Aldrich. still standing upon mere belief
gives the corporation tax but two years
of life. 1t will be demonstrated. he pre-
diets, that the government does not need
the money, and that being done. the tax
will be repealed. Why pile up surplus
In the Treasury from a source which Mr
Aldrich really condemns. and thinks the
country also will condemn?
As for the income tax. not every SEN
ator who voted to submit that question
many of them will openly oppose II when
the real test comes remains to be seen
A three-fourths vote is necessary to carry
the proposition. and some politicians pro-
fess to be able to put their fingers on
enough opposition states te defeat it.
But at present they are dealing only In
generalities
1t is we'll to keep in sight the essential
facts of this case. The President has
led in the matter OF special taxes. 1t
was at his instance that the House
adopted the inheritance tax, and then
that the Senate adopted both the cor
poration tax and the proposition to
amend the Constitution in order to make
possible the levying OF an income tax.

i THE word 'reconstruction,' he said.
specific meaning down here because the
Reconstruction period foiIowing the war
comprised 80 many excesses that perhaps
II may not be the Nisest word to use IN
this connection.
Suppose we put II this way: sup

istration's attitude toward the business
of the country signifies determination
to carry out work OF restoration. with
the sincere hope that 1t will be compelled
| to no more demolition than is necessary
| to healthy upouilding?'
The substitution OF the word "restora-
tion'' for 'reconstruction'' was most
clever and the general tone Of the At
torney Generals replies to his interro-
gator was assuring and satisfactory.
But, quick as he was to weed out q
dangerous word. Mr.. Wickersham over
looked the fact that he was above the
reconstruction belt. Kentucky never knew
anything Of carpet-bag rule. The men
VINO saved her to the Union were natives
of the state. Some were democrats. some
old wings. After the war. some Of the
democrats became republicans. and some
of the old wings became democrats.
There were many changes Of base.
But at no time did the outsider come In
and assume leadership. There was no
room for him; no invitation to him. The
Kentuckians remained equal to the local
situation. and the state recovered from
the ravages of the great conflict as rap
idly as any ~ her sisters.
Not until 1895 was the hold Of the de-
mocracy on the commonwealth shaken.
That year the silver question was in
jected into a state campaign. and thou
