Congress will reassemble in two

sumed that the Canadian reciproci-

Senate and there is expectation that
some of the important tariff sched-

effort willat least be made to lower
them. It is deplorable that politics
must enter so largely into questions
that should be purely economical
and that both parties have heart and
eyes askance on the presidency in
every question that comes up for
legislation There is much specula-

ADVERTISEMENTS

There will be an election in this
city for few local officers this
spring, but it will be well to bear in
mind however, that it will be the
duty of our people To vote for a
Judge of the Suoreme Court aud al
so for . circuit judge. The Hon. A.
j. Vine, who was appointed by
Governor Davidson to take the
place of Judge Dodge WHO resigned.
will be candidate for election to
the supreme court berch. The
Judge is d Norwegian by birth.
Owing to the fact that he has serv
ed as circuit Judge he is well quail
fed for the position of supreme
court Judge, and for that reason he
will have no opposition and will OF
course be elected. 1t is not often
that a Judge ct experiences is COM

Judge John K. Parish whose accent
ance of the Peoples nomination was
published last week in the Times
will be candidate again. There
are but few judges in the State that
have had as much experience as he
upon the bench and who have rend-
cred such efficient service. He had
practiced many years as a lawyer
and has also been a member of the
legislature before he was elected
Judge. Our readers will remember
that he tried the three murder cases
against Lilystrom. Carlone and
Beauregarj last spring in but little
over five days. 1t would have taken
an inexperienced Judge much longer
to have tried them. Every lawyer
in this county has signed a call
asking Judge Parish to run again.
and majority have done SO in
every county. The people generally
and the tax payers in particular are
interested in keeping experienced
men upon the bench, for every day
court is in session with a jury the
taxpayers of the county must pay
upwards of $3.50 a day, We see no
reason why Judge Parish should not
be elected on the 4th of APP il. Let
us turn out and give him our vote.

Thouqht It Was a Bird,


There was a bailie in Glasgow some
years ago whose knowledge of natural
history was limited. One day when on
the bench the following case came be-
fore him:
A man who had a squirrel, on going
to the country for short time, left the
squirrel In charge of a neighbor The
neighbor when attending to the animal
accidentally left the door of it's cage
open, and without being seen it made
its escape. On his return the owner of
the squirrel was very angry at the
man for his carelessness and brought
an action against him, demanding COM
pensation for the loss of his pet. The
bailie heard both parties and then
gave the following as his decision:
mae doot We did wrang to open the
cage door, but" turning to the pur-
suer, I'VE was wrang, tae, for ye

There is much interest in diplo-
matte and political circles in Wash
ington concerning a possible peace
treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, treaty which
will have the poten tial effect OF all
alliance, although it will not be
known by that name. President
Taft in recent speech ON the sub
ject OF peace, said that he thought
all questions, even including quest
ions of honor. might be left to an in
transitional arbitration court, and
Earl Gray, minister OF foreign
affairs for Great Britain, in re-
cent speech referred to President
Taft's speech and spoke earnestly in
favor of a peace treaty between the
two great English.speaking nations.
Those who have kept abreas! with
current history will remember that
there have been two recent efforts
to secure a 3. ratification OF peace
treaties between Great Britain and
this country but inasmuch as the
fHal ratification must depend upon
the Senate, these treaties struck
snass in that body. Some of those
snags were removed on the 4th day
Of March last, and it is believed now
that the treaty will meet the appro-
val of the Senate and that Secretary
Knox and Ambassador Bryce are at
work Id preparation of an agree
ment to be submitted to Congress
though perhaps not earlier than the
regular session which will assemble
next December. There will doubt
less be more or less opposition in
the Senate to friendly proposals be-
tween this and the mother country,
but, as remarked, some of the snags
have been removed. Senator Root
of New York, who is Chairman OF
the Carnegie Peace Foundation for
which ten Millions of dollars were
recently donated by Mr.. Carnegie.
will doubtless do everything in his
power in the Senate to promote this
peace entente. He was Secretary
of State during che second Roosevelt
administration, and he is closely in
touch with pacific and philanthropic
endeavor. Mr.. Carnegie has said
that If two great nations like this
country and England could reach an
agreement to submit all questions,
even those involving honor, to an
arbitration court, it would not be
long before the other powerful ma
tons would fall into line.
