WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE"

The Republicans of two states held
conventions on Wednesday and took
Numerically opposite views on the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law in their plat
form declarations. In New York the
Republican convention at some consid-
cradle length commended the law,
while in Wisconsin the Republicans
condemned it, and tersely stated:
THE Payne-Aldrich tariff is not a
compliance with the pledge of the Re
publican party, in its national plat
form"

BOOKS AND THINGS
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

Men everywhere would be grateful
for novel in which a man succeeds
in living his life in spite of the wo.
men.
or women who contrive to live their
lives in spite of the men we have had
a great deal in recent fiction. This,
we will recall, Is what the woman in
Winston Churchill's new book does,
and it may be said to have become
customary in fiction. Even the So
phisticated Mr.. Sudermann has con-
tributed to the general movement to
make a sorry show of the men. Sum-
ming it up, we might reasonably con-
clude from what they all say:
First. That the men are a bad lot
Second. That no woman fully lives
her life in association with any one
man, but in spite OF all men.
Third. That the women are a good
lot
A novel in which some man fully
lives his life in spite of the women
would be turn about, and that is said
to be fair play.

WHEN is HE SINCERE?

At his campaign opening in Kenton
Mr.. Harding said Specifically, here
in Ohio we need such enactment, and
its enforcement, as will make impos-
sible the deplorable situation so long
disturbing the tranquility of our CAPT
tai city. The public veal demands that
disputes between public service cor
porations and their employees be speed
a utilities commission, or some other
suitable tribunal of immediate resort
whose settlement win be just and fin
al" This will do very well for senti-
ment, but sentiment cannot obyiate
facts. If Mr.. Harding thoughthe was do
ing something clever by trying to make
political capital of the Columbus
strike he probably forgot for the time
being his own record on arbitration as
member of the state senate.
When the municipal code common
ly known as the Cox code, was enact.
ed at a special session of the legisla~
ture in 1902 Mr.. Harding was a member
of the senate and served on the confer
ence committee which made the final
draft of the code as enacted. The
house had adopted by vote of 66 to
% an amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Guerin (Rep) Of Sandusky
to require a compulsory arbitration
clause inserted In street railway fran
chise. This amendment was killed
by the conference committee, and
1t is charged that Mr. Harding at the
behest of Senators Hanna and Foraker
was instrumental in having it killed.
Mr.. Harding's speech as a candidate
for governor does not coincide with
his record as a state senator.
Having long rVcord for straddling
or getting on both sides of question
1t is not surprising to find that Mr.
Harding has also planted himself on
both sides OF the arbaration question

Wireless ReauIation.

The remarkab ble development of ra- dio- and the peculiar form of this means of transferring ng messages have made necessary some form of government regulation. The bill which has been passed by the sen ate, and which doubtless will become law, has been opposed by many per sons financially interested in wireless telegraphy and by many amateurs who have taken it up as hobby. There are hundreds of the latter in the Unit ed States.
 The aim of the proposed law is not to permit individuals or small compa- nies from operating wireless systems, so long as there is not wrongful or harmful interference with interstate or land d-and-water communication. Fhe bill specifcanF provides that Ii- censes are not necessary for the op- eration of intrastate system, is the op- eration thereof does not cause trouble to interstate communications
 One could hardly imagine anything much more difficult to regulate in a reasonable manner-that is without causing hardship to anyone-than the operation of wireless telegra p{ry or wirelss telephony; yet it is obvious that there must be regulation of some kind if there are not to be serious complicat ations.-Buffalo Express.

The British compromise.

With the single exception of Lord Rosebery, all commentators of prom thence in England seem to look for a compromise between the liberals and tories on the house of lords issue. The sudden death of King Edward at the height of the constitutional crisis en- forced a cessation of conflict and gave time for reconsideration and calmer deliberation. The suggestions of King George that the hostile parties seek a compromise could not be disregarded and the conference is already under way. Of course, the extremists on each side are suspicious. The radi- cals Irish and labor members regard any composition with the lords and tories as reactionary, the Irish espe- cially, because it threatens to rob them of the balance of power which Red mond has been holding over Premier ASquitf'S head to compel activity in the interest of home rule. On the oth- CT side, the tariff reform or protection ist wing of the tories suspect Balfour of treating with the liberals in the in tention of dishing their pet project. of which he has never been an en- thusiastic supporter Nevertheless, if Asquith and Balfour can reach an agreement upon some reform lof the lords or recasting of the relations be- tween the two houses, the two big parties may be able to disregard their mem berS and diSaffected al- lieS.-PittSburg Despatch.

Is Charlton Going to Escape?

The history of our state departmant policy. the strength of the Anglo Saxon belief in trial and punishment in the Jurisdiction where the crime was committed. and the fact-a most practical considaration-that it would be irregular and may be wholly impos- sible for any of our courts. state or federal, to take jurisdiction, all of these things combine to create the desire that the Italian government shall ask extradition of Porter Charlton for trial in Italy.
 If refusing to ask extradition where it has refused to grant it, the Italian government should take no steps in the case, and it' proved impossible, even by straining a technicality, for

The Japanese Treaty.

The announcement that Japan will open the way for new treaty with the United States to take the place of the treaty of commerce and naviga- tion," which went into operation in July. 1899, to remain in force twelve years, is not surprising. It is pro- vided in the instrument that either high contracting party shall have the right at any time * to give notice to the other of it's intention,xo termi- nate the same" In it's original form the right was restrained Hntil after eleven years has expired: and. in fact. the action of Japan is in accordance wither the terms before amendment. So, too. it apepars that while the pro- vision is that the treaty shall cease and determine II months after such notice. the compact endures as origi- nally con ntemplated, namely, until July. 1911.ss The action is thus entirely in good part and good order.
 Naturally, Japan is eager to make new arrangements with the United States and other powers as well. She is today regarded as a world power, rather than simply an Oriental power. Her treaties of 1899 were shortly suc- ceeded by the Anglo Japanese alliance. an epochaI event in her history. It will be recalled that a paragra ph in the now expiring treaty created men acing confusion at the time San Fran cisco raised the question of ., right to shut out Japanese children from her public schools.-Providence Journal
