ARBITRATION TREATY BRIEF
THE NEW ANTl-WAR AGREEMENT
NEARING COMPLETION.
If Ratified Neither Alone May Enter
Into Similar Arrangement With
Third Party.

New York, N. "a Washington
dispatch gives what purports to be a
resume of the treaty OF arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, so far as it has been drafted.
1t says as the suggestions now stand
they are preceded by preamble. The
new treaty will be very brief agree
ment, with as few articles as possible.
The text of the articles of the treaty
are then given, the first Of which is:
Differences which may arise of
nature which it may not have been
possible to settle by diplomacy shall
hereafter be referred to the court of
arbitration at The Hague, established
by the convention of July 20, 1899;
provided, however, that they do not
affect the vital interests, the independ-
ence or the honor of the two contract
ing states and do not concern the in
terests of third parties.
Article II provides means for the
settlement of differences affecting
vital interests. These are to be set
tied by the appointment of high COM
missioners, and Article III provides for
the interests of third parties and an
ally of either contracting party.
Article w says that during the
operation of this treaty the United
States, on the one side, and Great
Britain, on the other, consent not ID
become parties to any convention,
treaty, understanding or alliance with
any power or powers except and by
the consent of the other"
Article V provides for existing trea'
ties, and Article VI provides for the
payment of expenses incident upon ar
bitration at The Hague tribunal. Ar
ticles VII and VIII provide for pre-
sentation of arbitration cases, and TX
provides for the use of existing arbi-
tration treaties between the United
States and Great Britain.
Article X says both high contract.
ing parties are at liberty to agree to
arbitration treaties under these terms
with any other government, in which
case both high contracting parties
shall be bound to the new treaty. The
concluding article, XI, says the pres
ent treaty shall go into effect immedi'
ately upon signing in duplicate and
shall remain in operation for an indie
terminate period, although it may be
terminated at the end of every fifth
year from date of signing upon six
months notice from the government
desiring to withdraw.

GOV. WILSON TOLD, OF CROOKS
Those of Both Parties Control Our
Government While Corporation
Dollars Make Our Laws.

Kansas City, Mo.-The new po-
litical epoch in the United States-a
rule where the average voter has a
chance in making the laws-was
described in an address full of terse
illustration and hot shots by Gov.
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey at
the Knife and Fork club dinner at the
Coates house. Five hundred and fifty
men heard Gov. Wilson assail the
heads of corporations and stock COM
panies, which, backed by millions OF
dollars, have made the laws of the
United States and dictated to the
average man what he shall do.
Gov. Wilson explained how the
initiative, referendum and the recall
was SOLDERING a lot of officeholders
and pushing the wavering boys back
into line. Our government, he said,
is controlled by great combinations
of wealth. That the government isn't
partisan government; it is a BIZ
partisan government ruled by the
crooks of both parties who have
enough money behind them to elect
them, the New Jersey governor re-
iterated many times.
Before he launched into his assault
of crooked corporations and money
control, the governor paid tribute
to the pride of Kansas City and the
progressive spirit of Missouri repre-
scented by Gov. Hadley.

FOOD IN SERMONS
Feed the Dominic Right and the Ser
mons Are Brilliant.

A conscientious, Woodworking and
successful clergyman writes: Il am
glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure of efficiency
and health that have come to me from
adopting Grape Nuts food as one Of
my articles of diet.
For several years 1 was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast
seemed to turn sour and failed to d.
gest. After dinner the headache and
other symptoms following the break
fast would wear away, only to return,
however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, I
finally concluded to give it a trial. I
made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts
with cream, toast and Postum. The re-
suit was surprising in improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for so long a time, followed the
morning meal.
my digestion became once more
satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling of energy returned.
Since that time l have always had
Grape Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
81 was delighted to find also, that
whereas before 1 began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work OF
preparing sermons and in study,
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
81 am convinced that Grape-Nuts
food produced this result and helped
me to a sturdy condition of mental
and physical strength.
81 have known of several persons
who were formerly troubled as was,
and who have been helped as | have
been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food,
on my recommendation. Name given

Kansas City, Mo.-The fact that
President Taft can be in Kansas City

gage his attention may help bring the
National Conservation congress to
Kansas City at that time. The presi-
dent attended the conservation con-
gress at st. Paul last year and the
conservationists expect to have their
time of meeting fixed for this year so
as to have him present.

HOME TOWN II
IL HELPS !!
CITY OF THE FUTURE
Expert, With Prophetic Eye, Sees Per-
lection Attained as Matter Is
Better Understood.

From an address by Daniel H. Burn
ham Of Chicago at/the town-planning con-
ference in London, England.)
Our city of the future will be with
out smoke, dust or gases from manu-
featuring plants and the air will, there
fore, be pure. The streets will be as
clean as our drawing rooms today.
smoke will be thoroughly consumed,
and the gases liberated In manufac-
ture will be tanked and burned. Rail
ways will be operated electrically, all
building operations will be enectually
shut in to prevent the escape Of dust,
and horses will disappear from the
streets. Out of all these things win
ONE not only commercial economy,
but bodily health and spiritual JOY.
we may expect, in any event, dou-
BILE tunnels under all the business
streets and the utmost use of the res
ent street levels by extensive double-
decking and more overhead
transportation lines. Some time the
rush In the cities may cease, but see
no signs now of its ceaslng, and mean
while crowding must be dealt with.
We need systems Of by-passes around
the ~congested districts. We need still
more and mainly to diminish the num-
Der Of people and vehicles using given
areas.
Broadly speaking, the city of he
future will not bring to its center any
goods not intended for use or consump-
ton therein. At Chicago &c per cent.
of the tonnage in and out is not for
home use, but for distribution to other
places. In view of this fact we de-
signed a general freight scheme for
the entire city's use, with a yards,
freight depots and warehouses COM
bined, eight miles from the city,
where all trains shall unload and re
load"

WHY, YES, SHE GOT THE NOTE
Beautiful Roses Appreciated, but
There Was a "Fly in
Ointment"

A young man whose gallantry is in
excess of his means sought to remedy
this defect and to save the expense
Of the money required for the pur-
chase Of flowers for his lady loves by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have a bouquet from time to time, in
return for his CASTOR clothes. So it
happened that one day he received a
bunch of beautiful roses, which he at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation Of a friendly well
come he called on the young woman
that evening. He got a frosty recep-
ton.
"Did-er-did you get my flowers
today?" he was finally forced to ask.
Yes, and the note that went with
them"
Mote? Why, did I send a note?"
You did. A disgraceful note,
scrawled with a blunt pencil, on dirty
paper. Here it is. l don't understand
it, and 1 don't think you are very
humorous"
The note read as follows:
Here's your flowers, but you owe
me a pair of pants for 'em.'-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

PAY ATTENTION TO ROADSIDE
Good Impression Impossible if That
Most Important Point
Is Neglected.

No matter how smooth and well
constructed the travelled road may be,
If the roadsides are not cared for, the
highway as a whole will not give a
good impression. All rubbish should
be removed; the excavations hould
be filled and entertainments smoothed
and planted with grass wherever it
will grow. Unsightly brush should be
cut and grubbed out. Sometimes, how
ever, the brush and small trees, If
suitably trimmed, add to the attrac-
~tiveness of the roadside.
All trees that are ornamental or
which have value as shade trees
should be preserved and protected, un-
less they grow SO close together as
to make a dense shade. In hot, dry
climates particularly, and, indeed, in
most places, trees are a considerable
factor in reducing the cost of mainte-
nance, since they lesser the evapora-
ton of the moisture from the ma
cadam. In exposed places where the
sweep Of the wind would be otherwise
unbroken they serve to prevent in a
measure the blowing away of the
binder from the road surface. Unfor-
~tunately in such places it Is often
difficult to make trees grow. Care in
the selection of the kinds Of trees
best suited to the locality Is important
