ROOSEVELT AND TAFT.

AT last the president has achieved
that state of mind which permits him
to differ with his predecessor openly
and to answer objections made by his
predecessor in a style which hits back;
nothing could more" strongly empha-
size Mr.. Taft's determination to stand
by his arbitration policy against all
corners and at every sacrifice Col.
Roosevelt had objected to a treaty of
arbitration ON the ground that some
injuries should not be answered by an
argument or a statement of facts but
by slap in the face Mr. Taft puts
the objection and the answer thus:
"Ot lection has been made that an
agreement to arbitrate a question of
national honor ought not to be en-
tered into, or the reason that when
ones honor is affected one will never
consent to have the question arbitrat-
ed, and therefore that TO agree to do
so in advance is to agree to 90 some
thing that one will not be willing to
do and that one does not intend to
do. and therefore it savors of hypoc-
risy and ought not to be adopted as
a national policy. | cannot concede
the premises of this argument. | look
upon a treaty Of this sort as a self
denying ordinance, as a self-restricting
obligation"
Colonel Roosevelt may be right in
his position if so he has been wrong
all his life. Moreover. if he is right.
then the tendency Of the time is
wrons; civilization is wrong. Chris.
tianiy is wrong All treaties which
end wars and promise peace are wrong
If arbitration be wrong. for it is as
Just and right to avoid war as to end
war. When it submitted it's Alabama

to Colonel Roosevelt. the United

coward; when President Roosevelt
consented to ar itrate between Rus.

marked by cowardice.
Why should the colonel attack the
policy of arbitration on these grounds
but to discredit the president? On

A FAN COOLED SENATE.

This summer session business in
Washington has brought the august
senators TO a realization Of the slight
value Of dignity when matched with
continued not weather, and now the
grave odd men sit in considerable
comfort and listen to the oratory Of
their kind cooled by four electric fans
recently suspended from the senate
chambers ceiling, to make breeze.
How the senators finally yielded to
the assault Of high temperature and
decided that melted collars and patri-
otto Precipitation were not really de-
manded of them by their country
would no doubt make an interesting
story, but not essential to the present
discussion. Be it sufficient to state
that mechanical fans now supplant
hand fans in the national upper house
and. as a consequence, may be hence
forth expected during the hot months.
The fact that Vice President Sher-
man is one of the most energetic and
largest fans in the country has little
or nothing to do with his acquiescence
in Senator Shoots. suggestion that
electric fans be installed in the SEN
ate chamber. Mr. Sherman could not
cope with the sun as it shines at
Washington and dispenses heated
waves about impartially. He tried to
keep the senators cool with icy stares
and that sort of thing, but failed ig-
ANONYMOUSLY. The senators themselves
at times directed at the pork barrel
cover, now and then heaved athwart
reciprocity, tried to keep cool, cleo
tric-fanless and sweltering, unchilled
by a palm leaf. Heat finally won,
and some electric supply firm sales
man succeeded in doing what no other
had done, he sold the senate four large
ceiling fans, which started work re-
Gently.
This is the first step to a safe and
sane senate. 1t would not be long
before the shirtwaist senator will be
the style. Fan cooled, clad in silk
waists, and filled with senate lemon
ade innocent of distilled corn juice,
our six year lords ought to stand the
summer strain very well, and settle
down to a gentle acceptance of the
reciprocity bill.

dents motives. The objection has
been answered and the reply comes
very near the character Of slap in
the face; why has not Colonel Roose-
welt ayailed himself of his old privi-
lege 10 say the last word in any de-
bate upon which he had entered? AS
marking the new position of the col
onel before the people and the change
of attitude towards him ~ the pres
ident, the incident is too important
to pass without remark from the
chroniclers of our current history.

Schaefers, but would not go 10 work.

Again he was frowned upon and there
was none OF the arduous affection from
his bride which characterized their
honeymoon trip TO Bronx Park and
back.
So Harry became a street car con-
ductor. Taking nickels and swinging on
a running-board was TOO laborious for
him and he sold his uniform and notified
his wife's family he didn't care II

Schaefer to-day. Harry was hand
