SENATE RAT|F|ES
TAFT ACTION ON
RUSSIAN TREATY
UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT is
GIVEN PRESIDENT IN
NOTICE.
LODGE STEERED IT OVER
Vote Was Taken in the Evening on
Resolution From Foreign Affairs
commttee-Many Speeches Made
and Two Votes Before End Came.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-The SEN
ate by an unanimous vote tonight,
formally ratified President Taft's no
LITIGATION to Russia of the termination
of the treaty of 1882. The Lodge
joint resolution reported by the for
eign relations committee as a snhsti-
tute for the Sulzer resolution that
passed the house, 800 to l, was adopt
ed, after an all day debate over Rus
sian discrimination against the Jews
of America. The house tomorrow is
expected to agree to the senate meas
ure.
The resolution was adopted at 7:19
p. m. 1t was introduced for the COM
mittee by Mr.. Lodge, of Massaehu-
sets, as the measure couched in the
language most satisfactory to the
Washington administration, which
sought to avoid giving offense to the
st. Petersburg government.
The final action came after two
substitutes had been voted down. 1t
was the climax of a notable proceed
ing In the chamber which guards
jealously its traditional powers to
make and break all treaties. All
through the symposium of views to
which many senators contributed
throughout the day, however, there
were citations of historical instances
of treaty examinations by executive
act. The senate was held in session
until late hour under an urgent plea
of Senator Lodge that to secure &C
ton before the Christmas holiday re-
cess Thursday, it was necessary that
the senate should act tonight.
Every senator who spoke, voiced
his advocacy of congressional action
to meet the Russian discrimination.

PERSIA REFUSES
TO FINE SINISTER
NATIONAL COUNCIL REFUSES TO
ACQUlESCE IN CABINETS
PROPOSAL.

TEHERAN, Dec. 19.-The national
council has refused to accept the cab
lnet's proposals regarding a solution
of the Russian difficulty, and the Rus
sian troops are preparing to advance
on the capital, probably on Thurs
day. The people are apathetic and
only the women continue in actual
boycott. The official attitude sug-
gests passive resistance, but the pro-
,vincial sentiment is strongly opros-
ed to the Russians. The ex-Shah,
Mohammed Ali Mira, is at Gumesh
Tepe.
The foreign minister in present
ing the question before the antional
council today, represented that the
cabinet had made every effort to re-
tain Mr.. Shuster, but that the plight
OF the country was desperate. The
ex-Shah he said was advancing on
the one hand and Salar Ed Doweth
on the other, while Russia refused to
abate her demands. Therefore, he
argued, the cabinet should be empow-
cred to conciliate Russia.
In spite of his appeals, the depu-
ties insisted that the retention of Mr..
shuster was Persia's only hope, and
that nothing was to be gained by
yielding.

NEW HOTEL LAW
JANUARY FIRST
PROVIDES FOR BETTER SANTA
TON AND PROTECTION
OF GUESTS.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 19.-Tennessee' s
hotel law, passed at the last legisla-
ture, for more sanitary conditions
and better protection in case of fire,
as we'll as many other similar chang
es, goes into effect Jan l, when ev-
cry hotel keeper in the state will be
expected to have complied with the
specifications.
Bulletins containing information
regarding the changes that will be
expected, were sent to the hotels
over the state several weeks ago by
DR.. Lucius P. Brown, state pure food
and drug inspector, who will have
charge of the enforcement of the
hotel law and already many Of the
changes have been made, according
to reports of various inspectors in
various sections of the state.
Official copies of the law are being
printed by local firm, and as soon
as they are finished a copy will be
sent to each inspector in the cities
and counties of the state, who will
be expected to see to their enforce
ment with the beginning of 1912.
The law has met with the hearty
approval of the travelling men OF
Tennessee, who have commended DR..
Brown for his work in regard to it,
and for his announced decision to
have 1t enforced. There are no fees
whatever connected with it.

manner In which tht end should be
accomplished. Among those who
held conflicting opinions were O'Gor-
man, of New York; Stone, of Missou-
ri, and Williams, of Mississippi.
The most conspicuous opposition
to the senate resolution developed
when Senator Hitchcock, of Nebras-
ka, offered a substitute resolution,
eliminating the question of race as
a cause, for discrimination and omit
ting the charge that Russia had vio-
lated the terms of the treaty.
The Hitchcock substitute, however,
was along the lines of the house res
olution. Those who voted in the af-
firmative on the substitute were Sen
ators Chiffon, Culberson, Rayner,
Smith, of Maryland; Taylor, Watson
and Williams, democrats; and Sena-
tors Clapp and Poindexter, republi
cans.
Senator Newlands offered a sutsti-
tute dove-tailing the Hitchcock and
Lodge resolutions, but this was vot-
ed down without division. Then
came the final vote on the Lodge res
olution. The roll was called but there
was no division. Seventy-two votes
were cast and all of them were favor
able to the measure. 1t was there
fore declared adopted and was start
ed on it's way to the house.

The TAFT CHALLENGE

Under the above title an English
paper, printed in London, says:
1.-THE greatest and most useful Lent
discourse ever given was given by Sir
Edward Grey few days ago in the
House of Commons; and the subject
comes within the scope of our study
of the usages and uses of Lent, be-
cause 1t turned upon proposal in
volving the finest act of self-abncga-
ton ever suggested to any nation, and
because-thank Heavens--it involves
risk; and 1t is precisely the ele-
ment Of risk that gives it its value;
for ideals are never truly followed
until they involve risks.
What is the actual proposal? Let
there be no mistake about 1t. Mr..
Taft challenged some great nation
any great nation--to make with
| America compact never to go to
war for any cause, not even when
territory and honor were concerned;
but to submit every difference, IL
necessary, to arbitration. And It was
this challenge that Sir Edward Grey
deliberately accepted"
And this Is what Mr. BalfOur said
when he endorsed the challenge:
Certainly | do not see any diff
Guilty In carrying out, as between par
ticular nations, the first of President
Tafts suggestions. hope we may
accept the suggestion of President
Taft as meaning in this respect that
not merely the Cabinet and the Amer,
lean Government, but they that repre-
sent the general feeling in the United
States that the time has come when
these two great nations, who, what
ever other countries may do, at all
events recognize so far as they are
concerned that peace is the greatest
of their interests, and that the time
has come when they may at least be
bound in some mutual obligation by
treaty to refer all questions that can
possibly produce anything so horrible
as war between them to some arbitra-
ton tribunal.
Il can assure the right honorable
gentleman that II he and the Gov
eminent see their way to carry out
any arrangement of that kind he will
find no heartier friends of the policy
than we who sit on these benches"
or prayer composed by the clergy
of the diocese of Oxford, brother
clergyman says:
There have been millions of such
Peace prayers, but the disheartening
| thing has always been that those who
have offered them have never seemed
to be aware that they had the power
to answer them. To tell the honest
truth, the Church itself reminds one
of the story of the observant little
girl, who, returning from visit to
her uncle. told her father all the
news; and this was among the rest /:
That Willie was learning to say his
prayers, and to say, God make me a
good boy. That Is excellent said
her father. But then, after a mo-
ment's reflection, she added, But he
hasn't done 1t yet Let MS hope that
both the Church and Willie will soon
find an answer to their prayers"

but the initiative necessary for the

furtherance of these principles. He
has the tact, too, required in one who
wishes to influence great bodies like
legislatures. In the arbitration and
reciprocity treaties he has won the
support of Congress. Who would
have believed It a few months ago?
Firmly, but cautiously, the Presi-
dent is urging the wisdom of estab-
fishing a Department of Health, and
now he comes out In scathing de-
nunciation of quack cures and nos
trums. Mr.. Taft is the first Presi-
dent who has taken stand against
this crying evil.
This message was inspired by the
recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court. which held that the
