RATIFY NEW AGREEMENT
VIII JAPAN.

Sacramento, Calif.-A resolution
was unanimously adopted by the Cal
ifornia state senate last night, ask
ing congress to ratify the proposed
new treaty With Japan. The resolu-
ton was telegraphed to President
Taft today. It was thought by many
that California would oppose the
treaty. Last nights action is large
ly due to the friendliness of Taft to
San Francisco's campaign for the
Panama exposition.
Washington, d. C.-An effort was
made to crowd through the senate
late yesterday the new treaty with
Japan, on the subject of commerce
and navigation. but it met with stub
born resistance from a wholly unex-
pected quarter. Hale declared that
the treaty represented the voluntary
surrender by the administration of
a commercial advantage which the
country by right would enjoy for an
other year over the nations Of Europe
with whom Japan Is negotiating new
commercial relations.

Against Her Husband for
Sake of Child.

Plankinton, S. D.-This morning
Judge Smith, Of the fourth judicial
cicuit, signed the decree of divorce
applied for by Mrs. Irene Kreuger
against her husband. Charles Kreu-
ger. The case was finished yester-
day and the court occupied a portion
of the evening time in looking over
the stipulation which had been made
previous concerning the settlement
of the financial endof the case.
The incidents Of the case are we'll
known, of the arrest of Kreuger and
Mrs. Beebe in this city two weeks
ago while occupying a room / ma To-
cal hotel. and of the beginning of the

er to the April term of court under

neys for Mrs. Kreuger. and they had
the divorce action set for the present

with Mrs. Kreuger's attorneys and a
stipulation was finally arranged
which was signed by both parties in
which Kreuger agreed to give his
wife $45,O00 and the custody of the

In the trial of the case the evidence
on which Mrs. Kreuger asked for her
divorce was based on the charge of
adultery, in which 1t was alleged that
Kreuger and Mrs. Beebe were togeth-
err in a hotel at Aberdeen. This evil
dence was submitted in court to prove
the charge of adultery. Letters from
kreuger to Mrs. Beebe were also SUBJ
mitted in court which Attorney

the ground that he declared they
we're taken from Mrs. Bees satchel
at the hotel in this city. The court
overruled the motion and permitted

MAINTENANCE OF TAFTS
TARIFF COMMISSION.

Washington, ID. C.-The dying re-
publican majority of the House to-
day presented its last great draft up
on the national treasury. when the
civil sundry appropriation bill was
reported to the House. The measure
carries a total of $14O.59O,030, or
$~25.431,303 more than was allowed
by this bill last year.
Taft Gives Up Permanent Board.
Failing to force the permanent tar
if commission bill through the Sen
ate, President Taft has turned his eff
fort toward securing 100000 to con-
tinue the existence of the present
tariff board, by means of an appro-
priation to that end in the civil sun
dry bill reported to the House today.
Senator Bailey declared he would talk
the permanent tariff bill to death in
the Senate. 1t is not believed the
democratic majority in the next
House would support Taft in this leg
islation.

contention for fertilization Of the
the soundness of president Taft's
contention Cor fertilization of the
Panama canal, for it entails an ex-
penditure of $12, OO0.o 900 to this pur-

quarters of the House.

Such whistling up the wind has
seldom been heard as that of the
publicity bureau at the White
House over President Taft's We
toes. If these sounds were echoes
opinion, Mr.. Taft would have an
easy go for reelection. That
they are such echoes is what the
wild whistlings seem to say. "I
doubt it,, said the carpenter,
and shed a bitter tear"-the car
penter in this instance being Mr..
Taft's playfellows in politics. His
judicial recall veto will play no
very important part, congress
having let Arizona in upon aeon
dition it will be at full liberty to
reverse at It's own pleasure as a
state; but the tariff states are
going to make much glorious
trouble. Mr.. Taft calls a session
OF congress to pass his reciproc-
ity agreement with Canada, an
agreement in the direction offree
trade whichisa as useles practical
ly to help or to hurt as a college
text book. But when it comes
to free trade measures thatwould
hurt the grating interests and
help the farmers, he vetoes them.
An interesting presidential cam
paign on economic questions
along radiaI lines looms up in
consequence in the political sky.

A COMPARISON

When Senator Borah's home.
coming was announced great
preparations were made for hie
welcome. His name was in all
the papers. Big headings were
over the articles concerning him.
But when the senior Senator,
Hepburn, started home, his name
was scarcely mentioned and the
article was put on an inside page
under no heading, to speak of.
Ii Hepburn has a spark OF
pride it must hurt him to think
OF the reception the junior Sen
ator receives, while he is merely
mentioned. --.
In this progressive state a re-
dictionary can barely be toIerat-
ed. The people of Idaho want
progressive representatives in
Congressman who are fighting
for the advancement of self-gov-
eminent and other reforms.
Borah is that kind of represent
ative, And every progressive
measure that Borah has favored
his colleague has opposed. With
his ultra stand-pat ideas and his
North and South agitation, he
has made himself the butt of the
Senate and of the country.
In three years Mr.. Hepburn
will be a candidate again-per-
haps. And if the republicans of
Idaho do not choose a man with
progressive ideas, a man other
than Mr.. Hepburn, a democrat
will sit in the United States Sen
ate as junior Senator from Ida
no. @

The Statesman has at last
abandoned every pretense offav-
.oring cash valuation assessment
under any circumstances. twill
be recalled that when the sheet
started in to make a political is
sue out OF the taxation matter
that it made the hypocritical
plea that it favored actual cash
valuation, but that the reform
was not feasible owing to certain
fixed levies prescribed by law.
But now it boldly repudiates
cash valuation as the basis for
assessment. This change offront
is due to the fact that the States
man is ever the mouthpiece of
the corporations, and it sees in
the cash valuation plan the GER
tainty that the corporations in
the future will be forced to pay
their full share of taxes, instead
Of successfully lodging the same.
