TAFT IN APPEAL
| FOR PEACE PACTS
Asks That Moral Influence Be
Used on Senators.
FEARS FOES OF TREATIES
President Declares There 10 No DAN
ger to Senate's Constitutional
PrIviIeges-Gives Roosevelt
High Praise.

Mountain Lake Park, Nd, Aug. S.
Fearing that the senate is being
swayed by opponents Of the peace
treaties with Great Britain and France,
President Taft travelled 400 miles
through Maryland and West Virginia
by special train to make an appeal in
their behalf.
His appeal was made direct to the
Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua of
the Methodist Episcopal church, but
in it the president included the rest
of the nation as we'll.
81 observe" said the president, that
there Is some suggestion that by rati-
flying this treaty, the senate may in
some way abdicate its function of
treaty making. l confess myself to
being unable to perceive the logic in
any such a point.
Fears Foes Of Treaties.
ITO have these treaties not ratified
by the senate Of the United States or
| to have any hesitation and discussion
of serious character in respect to
| them would halt the movement toward
general peace, which has made sub
stantial advance in the last ten years.
To secure the ratification of the treat
les therefore, appeal must be made to
the moral sense of the nation and
while that is not entirely In the keep.
| ing of the churches, certainly they
may exert a powerful influence in the
promotion of any effective instru'
mentality to secure permanent peace" "
Leaving the arbitration treaties be.
hind, the president asked for the same
sort of popular support of the treaties
with Honduras and Nicaragua.
Relations With Latins.
There Is no issue before the senate
so acute in respect to the cause of
peace as the confirmation of these
Central American treaties" said the
president. while admit the greater
importance of universal treaties of ar
bitration, in the long run and as affect
ing the world at large, yet in respect
of American interests, in respect of
peace in this hemisphere, they are
not equal in importance to the con
firmation of these Central American
treaties"
In making his plea for the Central
American conventions, the president
highly praised former President Roose
welt. He spoke of the tendency Of the
United States to extend their helping
hand to less powerful people, and in
stanced Mr.. Roosevelt's intervention
In Cuba. That tendency was evidenced
also, he said, "by the wonderfully sue
cessful intervention by Theodore
Roosevelt as president of the United
States in securing peace between Rus
STA and Japan"

THE shortage of potatoes this
year fortells a high price next
spring. Those people who can
store quantity in good dry and
cool root cellars will reap a rich
reward next spring when fully as
high prices as we had this spring
will certainly prevail. Also the
hay market is now in the clouds.
Hay is $4,000 per ton in Chicago
the highest price since the war.
Colorado hay is moving east in
stead of eastern hay coming west
as is usual and everything points
to very high prices on that staple.

THOSE people who think be-
cause the effects of government
to curb the trusts are not produc-
tive of immediate results, that
such efforts are failures should
think again. The fact is that it is
being demonstrated daily that
these great combinations can be
controlled and it is the principle
that is being established. We
may safely depend on more and
more drastic legislation and an
ultimate control which will make
them all be decent. Also III the
