courts of Europe. Austria. The ole
residenters and Ozarkers of Missour
would scarcely recognize their whilon
friend, "Old Dick Kerens," of Missouri
Mr.. kerens has realized one OF the am
bitions of his life. Jovial, generous and
q regular of the regular Republicans
fighter from the word go" generous
to fault and rich beyond all dreams OF
avarice, he has had for years longing
to be something more than just Dick
kerens, the Republican boss of Mis-
souri," He thought he was going to
get it when he turned Missouri into the
Republican ranks for Roosevelt, but he
didn't. He could not possibly be Gov
trnor of Missouri, and he could not get
the votes to make him a United States
Senator, nor could he achieve Cab
met position, so he bided his time in
1908. Largely thru his generalship Mis-
souri, was again in the Republican col
unn. President Taft recognized this
fact by making Mr.. Kerens ambassador
TO Austria-Hungary. Mr.. Kerens has
just acquired a lease on the Kolowrat
House in Vienna. The palace was built
by Baron Albert Rothschild for his son,
Baron Oscar Rothschild, who commit
ted suicide last July, because of an al
legged love affair with a Chicago girl.
The palace has spacious state apart
ments, and occupies a commanding sit
uation, and so it follows that Mr.. Ker-
ems will be more sumptuously housed
than any foreign ambassador at the
Austrian court, and that he will do us
honor there is not the slightest doubt
i'll the world.
Secretary Knox evidently has not
Very much faith in courts of arbitration.
Secretary Knox and the British Embas-
sador signed on Saturday a treaty by
which the location of the international
hnnnd1TN- haf mi Tod
States and Canada from point in Pas
samaquoddy Bay, lying between Treat
Island and Friar Head and extending
thence thru Passadaquoddy Bay and to
the middle of Grand Manon Channel is
fixed and defined without resort to ar
bitration.
To compose their differences and to
arrive at an adjustment of the location
Of the line, it was provided in article 1
OF the treaty of April IL, 1908, that
= each Government should supply the
evidence and arguments upon which it
based its contention, and that in the
1aliure to agree within set period the
location of the line should be deter
mined by arbitration The evidence
and arguments were presented. but the
time for reaching an agreement under
the treaty expired before an agreement
was reached. The two Governments
have now, however, upon the evidence
direct agreement without the resort to
arbitration. 1t is expected the treaty
will be submitted to the Senate
Several hundred dollars was wasted
one day last week in cabling TO the
United States that Queen Mother Alex
sndra received Mrs. Theodore Roose-
veit at buckingham Palace Mrs.
Roosevelt and Queen Alexandra chatted
Tor an hour and a half. The Queen
Mother was greatly interested in Mrs
Roosevelt's description of the life of
women in America. Mrs. Roosevelt
left th>. palace charmed and delighted
with her reception" All of which. don't
you know, is really very funny. In the
hrst place, Mrs. Roosevelt is one of the
most quiet and reserved of women,
while the Queen Mother~is wrapped up
In her grief, is so extremely deaf as not
to be able to hear even when shouted
at unless she is used to the voice, and,
furthermore, knows just as much about
life of women in America as Mrs
Roosevelt does. In fact, there is abso-
Iutely no difference between the home
life of the American woman and the
home life of the English woman, and
as for the outdoor life, our outdoor GUS
toms are copied after the English ones,
and there cannot be any difference
there. Under all the conditions and
circumstances surrounding the Queen
Mother and Mrs. Roosevelt news such
as that cablegram carried is punk" as
the boys say
Representative Slemp, of Virginia,
has introduced in the House a bill ap-
propriating $1,000 for the erection of
e monument on Cloyd's Farm battle
field, in Pulaski County, Va.

on May 8, 1864, between Union and

two men who afterward became Presi-
dents of the United States participated

and Rutherford B. Hayes.
One of the idiocyncrasies of the
United States Senator is the palm-leaf
fan. There is always a supply of the
very finest ones ready for sudden call,
and the sudden call came one sultry
day last week. Senator Crawford was
the first one to ply the air breeder. Sem
etor Beveridge was the next one Sem
ator Bourne had prepared himself so
that he did not have to use a fan. He
wore a spotless white suit, and was the
envy of Senators and visitors alike
The case of Senator Lorimer, of IIi-
nois. and the unparalleled charges of
graft they are trying to make against
him call to mind a good many other
cases of like character which have some
way or smother managed to sully the
ermine of men who have served in the
United States Senate. The Daly-Clark
feud in Montana is so recent that every
body can remember the threatening
charges that were made against Sem
ator William A. Clark by the Daly gang
Much had been said against the mil
ssenaire Senator, and one afternoon,
when the Senate was transacting its
routine. Senator Clark arose to a uues-
tion of personal privilege, and, like a
thunderclap out of clear sky, resigned
AT that time Gov. Toole presided
over the destinies of Montana, and he
was DAILY advocate. The Lieutenant
Governor was a Clark man. The Gov
erilor was going to leave the State, and
having knowledge of that fact the
Jieutenant-GoVernor and Senator Clark
arranged for the latter's resignation as
soon as the Governor had crossed the
State line. The plan was for the Lieu
tenant-Governor, then Acting Cover
nor. Immediately to reappoint Mr. Clark
for the unexpired term. The scheme
reached the ears of Gov. Toole, who
hastened back to the State Capital. The
plan miscarried. and Senator Clark's
resignation had to stand.
Then there is the Alexander Cald-
we'll case of Kansas. He unblushingly
bought his way into a Senatorial seat
stating that he had the money and
wanted to come to the Senate Just as
Kansas had about proved bribery
against him, Caldwell suddenly resigned
