Foreign Relations Commit tee Ignores Wishes of
 President Taft
OBJECT TO JOINT
 HIGH COMMISSION
Contrary To Presidents Wishes Bill Is Reported To Senate-Bryce Attacked Because of His For
 mer Criticism

Washington, August 1o.-Disregarding a telegraphed request from President Taft for contrary course, the Senate com nittee on foreign relations today agreed upon an amendment to the British and French arbitration treaties eliminating the provision conferring special powers on the proposed joint high commisson.
 In this form the treaties were reported to the Senate and the Presidents wishes that action be postponed until next De- cember were set at naught.
 The Senate almost immediately gave two hours to the consideration of the treaties during which the danger of old world dominance on any joint high commission was discussed.
 Incidentally there was considerable talk about criticism upon the eSnate con- tained In "The American Common- wealth." written by Ambassador Bryce long before he ever thought of coming to this country on a diplomatic mission. In that work MT. Bryce attacked the Sen- ate upon the ground that it kept diplo- matic troubles alive long as there was any political advantage to be gained by so doing.
 Whether the opposition to ratifying the treaties unamended could in any way be traced to these utterances by one of the principal signers of the convention be- tween this country and Great Britain was not manifested. In any event no conclusions were reached by the Senate and the general opinion among senators seemed to be that the treaties would re- ceive very little if any further consider ation at this session of Congress
 The telegram from President Taft was sent from Beverly and was re- ceived by Chairman Cullom prior to the session of the foreign relations committee. It was addressed to the committee and requested that if the treaties were to be amended that ac- ton should be postponed until Decem- Der. Before leaving Washington Pres ident Taft had made strong represen- tations to individual members of the committee urging as eitaliy important the retention of the provision givin 5; to the joint high commission the right to determine disputed questions with out reference to the Senate.

As a matter of fact, the President politically is between the devil and the deep sea. The farmers free list bill Is merely the offspring of his Cam adian reciprocity agreement, which he pushed through Congress with the CO., alition of democratic and insurgent votes, yet he dares not sign it, and he fears to veto it. Therefore, he will exercise his veto power on the grounds of postponing action pending the re- port of the tariff commission. In this action he hopes to hold the stalwart republicans and bring about republican unity. He hopes to win back those who rebelled because of Canadian reci- procity.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-08-13

President Taft having been at his Bev- erlv home here yesterday and today has caused an influx of interested ones Trough he has talked with but few his decision hos been reached. He returns to washington tomorrow with the full de- termination not only to veto the state hood bill but likewise to veto the farmers free list bill and the wool bill, both of which Congress will send to the White House Tuesday or Wednesday.
 His messages will argue In both in- stances that no tariff action can properly be taken until the report of his expert tariff commission Is made. He will argue Himself in favor of a lowering of the existing woolen schedule but will contend frat the Underwood LaFollette bill is crude and that Congress cannot do full justice to the woolen schedule bill until the tariff commission has made its full report and recommendations. His veto of the farmers free list bill will declare along the same lines.

SENATOR PASSES TO REST.
William Pierce FRYE Dies at His Home
in Lewiston, Me.-State's Faith
full Servant.

Lewiston, Me-, Aug. 8.-The State
of Maine lost it's senior United States
senator and almost lifelong faithful
servant when William Pierce Frye
died today at the home of his daugh,
ter, Mrs. Helen White, in this city.
The end came at 3.55 p. m. At his
bedside were Mrs. White and his other
daughter, Mrs. Alice Briggs, who also
resides in Lewiston. Although he had
been i'll for a long time, death came
suddenly.
Forced by the condition of his
health to resign his position as pres
ident pro tempore Of the senate at the
beginning of the present session OF
congress, although he retained his
membership in the senate, Senator
Frye soon afterward made his last
journey from Washington to the city
which always had been his home. For
several weeks his condition was not
considered necessarily dangerous. Up
to last week he rested in comparative
comfort, spending much of his time in
reading or having some member OF
his family read to him.

The Man at the Auto Wheel

Six fatal automobile accidents Of
the ten days may be traced to the
neglect Of the driver in each instance
to fix his attention On the steering
wheel.
In. New Jersey the other day the
driver of a speedy car turned loose the
wheel to brush some cigarette ashes
from his coat In the next instant,
the car smashes into tree and the
three passengers were thrown out and
seriously hurt A man speeding along
the highway from Buffalo turned his
head to ask his wife if she needed
wrap and the car was ditched. Both
man and wife were killed.
Here are two accidents out OF many
that can be connected directly with
carelessness in steering. The man
who can not fix his attention on the
wheel and the road ought never to
drive car. The man who neglects
even for a. moment the wheel OF last
moving car is an idiotic criminal

This has been remarkably dry

a stand at first there would have been
the finest crop made in many years.
The cost of cultivation has been
much less than last year.
We certainly appreciate the wealth

weather every time to be just exactly
as predicted, but some of the reports
come very close TO it.

"Lost, lost! lost! ..

That gem of countless cost
Can ne'er be mine again. -"

For till these heart strings sever,
I know that heaven-entrusted gift
Is reft away forever. -
But when the sea and land F..

Who judgeth quick and dead;
And when Of scath and loss >...3-> !
That man can ne'er repair,
The dread inquiry meets my soul.
What shall it answer there:'.
i !
If such be the lament for one lost
day, what should the sorrow be for a
lost year?
To others the parting year looks
through saddened eyes. It stands BY
buried hopes and weeps over heart
breaking bereavement. No other
year was ever like it. All the years
following it must henceforth be dill
terent from all that went before it,;
for how can life be ever again the
same when one sighs in vain for the
touch of vanished hands anl the sound
of voices forever hushed? All! the
trials which have come to some which
must walk with them all the rest OF
tho way! Heavy are the burdens
which can be laid down oriy at the
gate of the grave!
To the young who have known little
of grief, because they have known lit
tie of life, the thought Of the old-year
will be lost in the glow Of the dawning
year which beckons to them with so
many high hopes. Let them rejoice
in their strength "While the evil days
come not and the years draw nigh,
when they shall say, We have no
pleasure in them"
To the Epicurean atheist no thought
Of lifes seriousness or deepest joy
BUSINESS can come. They will only
say to their pleasure-sodden souls,
"Let US eat, drink and be merry; tor
tomorrow We die" Having denied
immortality and emptied the present
life of all that makes it sacred and
significant, they utter the careless
creed of the brutes and live up to
their creed. Holding such a creed they
can draw no instruction from the
psat nor inspiration from the future.
Time derives all it's significance from
eternity, and meaningless are all our
years if life ends in nothingness.
Words are wasted on minds which can
think so meanly of themselves.
But to faithful souls, wearied and
grief stricken by the changing years,
duty and God remain for their COM
fort.
The past is gone, but the present IS
with US. If We can not be what once
we might have been, nor do what once
we might have done, nevertheless,
there is yet something good that we
may be and do. The best repentance
for the irreparable past IS the faith
full use of the living present. Well

his most helpful sermons, under no
