MARION. Ind. July 4.-With the tenn
perature in his private car up above the
100 mark for hours at a time, President
Taft hurried through Ohio and Indiana
yesterday. He began speaking from the
rear platform of his car at Cleveland
just after breakfast, and did not get
through until O'Clock.
The President ended strenuous and
sticky day with two addresses at the

In the speech to the old soldiers the

out five instances. and made partial
claims for others. in which the United
States. by urging arbitration. had pre-

Congress Held Responsible.

Congress and the national government
are made responsible for a great many
conditions prevailing among the people
with which they have nothing whatever
to do. It Is not good logic. but it is hu-
man nature. to charge the prevailing gov

What War Has Done.

Telling his veteran audience that
they, by "Reminiscences, suggested war,
and war suggested its counterpart. Mr.
Taft said:
" am far from saying that war has
not in times past accomplished much
In the progress Of the world. Whether
the Same progress might have been
achieved in q more peaceful way 1t is
unnecessary to discuss: probably not.
1t was by war that this country gained
its independence Of Great Britain. One
hundred and thirty-f1ve years ago the
Declaration of Independence was
signed, which changed a protest under
arms against unjust government to a
successful revolution. II England had
been better advised probably war
would not have ensued. and we might
now be. as in the case Of Canada, cher
ishfng attachment to the mother coun-
try without exercising complete in
dependence.
The war of 1919 might certainly
have been avoided by arDitration-the
questions there presented were cues
lions all of which have been settled
by the Judgment of mankind-in favor
OF our side OF the controversy
The war with Mexico-though there Is
some dispute over this-was one Of the
questions which were capable of solution
by an impartial tribunal. Whether the
civil war would have been avoided is a
very difficult question to answer When
slavery has became imbedded in the
SOCIAL fiber Of a country it is possible
that only an excision of a war knife car
remove the cancer.

Invited to Make Treaty.

For the further securing of peace. and
as an example, to all the world Of the
possibilities of arbitration. we have in
vited England and France and Germany
to make a treaty for the arbitration Of
all differences OF an International charac-
ter that in their nature can be adjudi-
Gated. and we have left out in this treaty
those exceptions which have heretofore
always been excluded from arbitrable
controversies, to wit. questions of q ma
tions honor and of it's vital interest OF
course. I cannot say with positiveness
that these treaties will all be made and
confirmed. 1 can only say that the pros
pect Of an agreement with the executive
OF one OF the countries is reasonably
sure. and we have every hope as to the
other two. and that these three treaties
will be followed by many of the same
tenor with other countries IL the original
three are agreed upon and confirmed
The Presidents address on currency
reform before the editors and bankers
was similar to the one delivered to the
New York bankers at Manhattan Beach
short time ago. He urged considera-
ton of the Aldrich plan without preju-
dice, and emphasized its importance to
the farmer securing money for moving
his crops, to the wage-earner and bust
ness man. as well as to the capitalist.

Arbitration With Spain.

Nor shall l attempt to answer a SINH
lar question as to the Spanish war. It is
one Of those instances Of international
dissension like the civil war. and yet /

tribunal might have affected SPANS treat
ment Of Cuba in such a way that we
could have avoided a resort to arms
''rhe truth is, the danger of war be-
tween two great. well established coun-

ton OF sinister men In q weak govern

The President retailed the work Of this
government in preventing war in Cuba
after the Plat amendment: in frustrat-
ing revolution In Santo Domingo by TAX
ing over her customs collections: in in
tervening for q peaceful settlement Of
the boundary dispute Of Haiti and Santo
Domingo that would have resulted in
war, and the influence lent for arbitration
in the boundary disputes between Peru
and Ecuador and between Peru and b.

tons Of Mexico may wei make US hest

future. but all the lovers Of mankind
hope that the present condition of that

a firm government, and one In which
there may not be the same occasion for
popular unrest as that which gave rise
to the recent collision.

Negro Democracy Looking for Plums.

Editor of the Washington Bee.
Please allow me short space in
vour paper, which | consider to be the
leading Negro journal of the country,
in order that | may, in my humble
way, express my views IN regard to
the Negro in politics. Twenty years
ago I had the honor of meeting you
at one of the greatest Negro Demo
cratic conventions ever held in this
country, in the city of indianapolis,
Ind, where all the leading Negro
Democrats from all over the country
had assembled to discuss the great
Negro problem. You well remember
that at this meeting there were Peter
H. Clarke, of Ohio; ]. Milton Turner,
of Missouri; c. H. ]. Taylor, of Kan
sas; Thomas T. Fortune, OF New
York; w. T. Scott, of Illinois, and a
hundred other Negro Democrats, too
numerous to mention. 1t was at this
memorable convention that your hum
Bile servant had the distinguished
honor and pleasure of sitting down to
the table at the Hotel English with
the editor of the Washington Bee,
whom I had heard and read a great
deal of, but had never had the pleas
ure of meeting. / shall never forget
the informal introduction on this oc-
Casion, and also of the lengthy discus
sion we had as TO the coming Ma
tional campaign between the Hon.
Benz. Harrison, of Indiana, and the
Hon. Grover Cleveland, of New York,

Representative w. I. Smith.

President Taft appointed Repre-
sentative Walter l. Smith, of Iowa,
United States Judge for the Eighth
Circuit, to succeed Judge Vandeven-
ter, who was recently promoted to
the bench of the United States Su-
preme Court.
The executive has been considering
the nomination of a new judge in the
Eighth District for more than three
weeks, and about a score of names of
aspirants for the post were laid before
him by members of Congress and
prominent politicians. In the list Of
candidates the most prominent were
Representative Smith and Representa-
tive George w Norris, the insurgent
leader from Nebraska.
Both men have had experience on
the bench in their respective States,
and the matter resolved itself into a
race between the two Representatives

What the Catholic Church Thinks

Editor Bee.
A few days ago, by chance, I had
the pleasure Of reading an editorial
comment in your paper of date No
vember 4, III which you mention the
fairness with which the colored man
is treated by the Roman Catholic
Church, as was shown in the recent
Holy Name parade held in this city
when the white and colored men
marched side by side. This is as it
should be, and ever since | read your
comment, l felt it my duty as a men,
Der of the Catholic Church to COM
mend your sentiment Many others
with whom I have discussed your edi-
torial have given it their approval.
Let the colored Christians and white
Christians of all denominations pull
together. Among my many friends
are colored Catholics, good citizens,
honest, trustworthy and manly, and
indeed the recognition given them on
the occasion of the parade IN which
your editorial refers only speaks of
the broadness of the Catholic Church
in bringing into its fold all colors and
races of mankind on an equal footing,
so that it can truly be said of her,
There shall be one fold and one
Shepherd, with the high ideal Of the
Fatherhood of God and the brother
hood of man" VIM. A. HICKEY.
