TAFT DISCoURsES ON
 ARBITRATION TREATIES
Says Senate Should Reflect the Senti-

Ocean Grove. N Y.

 The longer the senate holds these upor them at the special session-the rresidens argued the greater will be the cpro rtunity for him to preach the gospel of peace and arbitration and the greater will grow the sentiment for the agreements.
 If the senate" sa i'd the president 'or any members of it. should think that it's powers are greater or less than they are and the limitations they insist upon interfere with progress toward peace. or any other great na tional or international policy. the question whether they are right or not must ultimately be referred back to the people, whose representatives the members of the senate are, for we all, as say. have derived our power from the people as the ultimate source of power and in such case of disagree ment the proper place for a discussion of such an issue is before the people The cause is sufficiently great to War rant the straining of efforts to secure treaties like these."

American. Globe Irotters.

There are many American girls
who pride themselves on being globe
trotters. A trip to Europe is insignifl-
cant to them; they have been around
the world SO many times they speak Of
1t as something not unusual. But they
do take pride in knowing the art Of
travelling, Of getting along without so
many petty annoyances that almost
give inexperienced travellers nervous
prostration. They are sweet tempered
and merry and never seem to be ruff
fed by any unexpected circumstance.
One Of those experienced girls when
asked why she got along 80 easily, re-
marked: well, l soon learned few
essential things and>I never have any
trouble. It Is q mistake to travel in
ones own hair. It always gets crum-
pied and struggling in the salt air, and
SO always wear few pin curls in the
day and keep my own hair fresh for
the evening. Furthermore, / always
make 1t point to tip the stewardess
when ! start on a voyage"

IS NOT FIT TO LIVE WITH
The Genius Always Is an Impossible
Creature Who Makes Family and
Friends Wretched.

One Of the strangest signs Of the
times Is our universal admiration for
geniuses; yet genius, no matter how
you view him. is always an impossible
creature. He isn't At to live with.
II he is SO unfortunate as to marry,
he makes life miserable for his family.
II he doesn't marry, he is care to
all his friends. And the probability is
that no one will appreciate him in his
own age. Yet when we hear that
such and such one Is a genius, we
experience an instant feeling Of envy.
Most Of us would like to be a genius.
II we could have, along with it. our
own steady traits. We wouldn't give
up our regular income. but il we could
be genius with It, we should like
It very well.
Lombroso declares that geniuses are
acknowledgements types. Scien-
lists term them In biological words
"sports"-that Is. they are exceptions
to rule. They are supposed to see
things straight, whereas everybody
else Is abnormal. Bernard Shaw says
that is what is the matter with him.
