jobhers would boycott them.

VETERANS FEAR TAFT
PRESIDENT TALKS PEACE TO
BLUE AND GRAY.
Announces Arbitration Treaties With
France and Great Britain Will Be
Signed Within Ten Days.

Manassas, Va. President Taft
in addressing several thousand Union
and Confederate veterans made
a vigorous plea for international
peace and was applauded and cheered
most heartily.
The president declared that gen.
eral arbitration treaty both with Great
Britain and with France probably
would be signed within the next ten
days. He added that he hoped within
the next few days to announce that
three other great powers would enter
into similar agreements with the
United States He did not go SO far
as to indicate the nations that he had
in mind, but it was generally be-
lieved that he referred to Germany
Italy and the Netherlands. Japan ui-
timately may come into the far-reach-
ing peace pact, but the negotiations
with the empire as yet are said to be
merely tentative.
President Taft reached Manassas
after tempestous trip. 1t was so
strenuous that the presidential party
abandoned their motor cars here and
returned to the capital by train. Mr..
Taft laughingly likened his troubles
in getting to Bull Run to those that
some folks SO years ago had in get
ting away.
Il brought some senators and repre-
sentatives down with me from Wash
ington," he said, and because of the
evigencies of the road and the storm
and strife of the elements we came
far more slowly than some senators
and representatives who came down
here half a century age went back"

LORDS PASS THE VETO BILL
Measure Curtails Powers of Peers and
Adds to Rights of House of
Commons

London.-The veto bill, which cur
tails largely the powers Of the house
of lords and adds immensely to the
rights of the house of commons, was
practically made law. 1t passed it's
third reading in the house of lords
after three hours debate with the op-
position of only single peer The
victory was won in rather curious
way The members of the house of
commons threatened that if the lords
did not accede to the new idea they
the commoners, would appeal to the
king and have 500 new peers created
Naturally there would be among the
new ones many-a majority. indeed
who would support the commoners and
vote with them. This idea of "dilut-
ing the blood of the house of lords"
Mortified that august body.

BOSTON INVADED BY CHOLERA
Woman SUccumbs to Disease Which
Is Traced to Sailors Taken as
Lcigers-Men Disappear

BOston.-Asiatic cholera has reached
two foreign sailors who are believed
to have brought the dread disease
here after being taken i'll disappeared
and their whereabouts is unknown.
according to a statement given out Of
fcially by Chairman Samuel H. Durgin
of the Boston board of health
The cholera victim was Mrs Tamas-
sino Mastrodenico, who died at the de-
tention hospital on Gallup's island.
Mrs. Mastrodenico took into her
home as dodgers a few weeks ago two
sailors who were members of the crew
of a steamer supposed to have sailed
from an Italian port.
The sailors subsequently were taken
i'll and disappeared Efforts are being
made to locate them
The children of Mrs. Mastrodenico
are under observation at the quaran-
tine station and the board has already
begun the work of examining the
many persons who may have come
into contact with the dead woman
Her house in the congested Italian
district of the city will be thoroughly
fumigated and all precautions taken
to protect the Is families, including
some half a hundred children, who
also live there Mrs. Mastrodenico
until she was isolated, was attended
constantly by her daughter, Mary,
who slept with her.

If anybody was asked to suggest
why the soup plate was made broad

S>ger would be that such an arrange
ment facilitates the cooling of the

the mouth We believe that utilita'
rians drink tea out of saucer for
the same reason, says the Lancet.
While that may be the explanation of
the peculiar shape of the soup plate,
the advantage indicated is surely in
significant compared with the obvious
disadvantages which may probably
arise from exposing so large sur
face of nutrient fluid to the air. Soup
should be served in cup, a low, broad
teacup, and the method, which is be-
coming more usual, is hygienic. Too

other side; it's advantages would be
Cancelled by it's great drawback; we
should miss some of the delicate fla

taste can be appreciated. In a mar
low, deep glass the bouquet may miss
appreciation altogether.

Commission to Regulate Cor

Duluth Minn.-Attorney General
Wickersham. speaking before the Min
nesota Bar association here, advocated
a federal commission for the regula-
ton of corporations in the same way
as the interstate commerce board now
curbs the railroads.
The cabinet member declared also
that the duty of fixing prices OF COM
modities might devolve upon this COM
mission, though he expressed some
doubt of the practicability of this
phase of the plan.
The law of supply and demand. Mr.
Wickersham said, no longer controls
prices in the United States. For
years. he said. the prices in all the
great staple industries have been
fixed by agreement between the prln-
cipal producers and not by normal
play of free competition.
An interstate commission, the attor-
ney general added, would prevent vio
lations of the antitrust laws and aid
business men to maintain continued
status of harmony with the require
ments of the statutes.

PACT BILL PASSED
TAFT RECIPROCITY MEASURE
CARRIED BY SENATE BY
VOTE OF So TO 27.
WILL BECOME LAW JULY 26
Amendments That Encountered Can
ada Pact Quickly Swept Aside
When Time Comes for Decisive Ac-
ton-Party Lines Are Wiped Out

Washington.-The Canadian reci-
procity bill was passed by the senate
by a vote of So ayes and q nays, and
the business for which congress was
assembled in extraordinary session
was concluded.
President Taft did not receive the
measure for signature before leaving
for Beverly as the house had ad-
journed before the senate took the
final vote, and the engrossment of the
bill must take place while the branch
in which - originated is in session
The house does not meet again until
July &c, when the final formalities
will take place.
Every amendment was voted down
by a larger majority than that by
which the original bill finally carried
lin all cases where roll call was
had. On the final passage 81 Repub-
licans voted for the bill and "a against,
30 Democrats for it and 3 against.
The only significant thing as to
votes on the various amendments ~as
the practically unanimous disposi ion
ity measure not to allow anything to
mar the agreement entered into be-
tween executive officials of the Cana
dian and United States govern
ments
Most of the votes on amendments
on which there were roll calls ran
about 16 to g. The highest votes OBJ
tanned in favor of any amendments
were those on the Nelson cattle and
farm products proposition and the Nc
Cumber scheme to prevent elimination
of the duties on grain in bond The
former was defeated % to So and the
latter 21 to 81.
No big crowds filled the galleries
when the end came, but there were
many members of the house on the
floor as the finish approached There
was no oratory-just series of roll
calls, which brought the main issue
to a vote.
Ottawa, Ont.-The favorable action
by the United States senate on the
reciprocity agreemnt puts the govern
ment in q somewhat stronger position,
but it is conceded that it will not
prove factor in breaking the pres
ent deadlock on the question In the
Canadian commons. The leaders of
the opposition profess to see no
change in the situation and assert
that they will continue the filibuster
against a measure which, they claim,
is the entering wedge looking to dis
solution of Canada's ties with the
mother country.
Under parliamentary rules the ma
jority cannot force closure on a cues
ton of this kind. The opposition can
delay a vote indefinitely by providing
speakers to continue debate.
A dissolution of parliament and an
appeal to the country in a general
election with reciprocity as the issue
is the only course left to the govern
ment, and it is expected that Premier
Laurier will take advantage of the
first opportunity within a fortnight.
The new parliament would be able to
enact the agreement before the first
of the year.

COUNTRY LIFE.

This Is especially the season Of the
year when the man who is able to es-
tablish a home in the country and
bring up his children there is to be
felicitated. The trend of migration
for many years has been strongly to
ward the cities and 'the busy hum OF
men," but nowadays the city dweller
is encouraged in various insfdious
ways to become a communter, or if
he cannot get beyond the purlieus OF
the city he is taught the conservation
of little space-in the back yard, ii
may be-for horticultural purposes
There is no satisfaction quite the
equivalent of that of making two ears
of corn grow where none grew be-
fore, or causing the tomato plant or
the bean vine to blossom even as the
rose beneath the careful nurture OF
ones own assiduous hand. A Sign OF
the times" is such an institution as
