ratification Of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement is probable and that the or
gauization of a tariff board is prob
lematical.
IL is likely, also, that there may be
developed wider breach between Pres
ident Taft and leading Republican Sen
ators than has heretofore been seen.
Those Senators who have broken with
the President will find an easy oppor,
tunlty TO attack him on his order whic h
resulted in mohilizing the available
military forces of the country on the
Mexican border, That inquiry will be
made as to the reason for this, and
what impelled tho President to the sud-
den move, appears sure. That it is n
proper inquiry is also certain. But,
aside from its propriety, it will be
pushed with bitterness borne Of hos
tility to the President. and is liable
to result in a good deal OF harm TO
the Republican party. The President
has made so many differing and incon.
elusive statements in regard to this
mobilization of the troops, that the
country is entirely in the dark with re
spcct to the real reason for it, The
move had apparently turned out to be
mlschlevous one. and perhaps may
eventually have to be classed as q very
serious mistake. AT any rate, it gives
the President s opponents an open way
IN which TO attack him, and they will
inevitably make use Of it in their own
way, and to advance their own quarrel
as against President Taft,

EARL GREY's SUGGESTION.

When the wires reported the extraor-
dlnary reception of President Taft IS un-
reserved arbitration talk by Earl Grey,
Foreign Secretary of the British Cabi.
net. it was said that an arbitration
treaty which would reserve nothing as
between the United States and Great
Britain. would not necessarily be an al
lance either offensive or defensive Re-
ferring to that point, The Tribune said
at the time that such an arbitration,
while not necessarily leading to an of
fcnsive or defensive treaty, would in
evitably work in the same direction as
such treaty, for defense This seemed
to us TO be the necessary sequence of
such an arbitration treaty. We find
that Earl Grey himself reached practic-
ally the same conclusion in his remarks
in Parliament when, in speaking as gov
ernment leader in the absence of Pre-.
mier Asquith, he said in discussing this
point:
The nations that made such an agree
ment might be exposed TO attack from a
third Power This would probably lead
to their following with an agreement to
join each other in any case where one
Of them had quarrel with a third ma
ton which had refused to arbitlate.
The probability indicated by Earl
Grey would almost inevitably be a prac.
tical fact
The utterances of President Taft,
which called forth that admiration from
Earl Grey, were that Mr.. Taft does not
personally, see any reason why matters
Of national honor should not be re.
ferred to court of arbitration; and
reference was made also to his express.

States could negotiate positive agree.
ment with some other nation to abide
by the ludication of an international |
arbitral court on every question that
could not be settled by negotiation, no
matter what was involved, a long step
forward would be taken.
I There is the statement, and there is
Earl Grey's response to it. From what
we can Judge by the cabIegrams, there
appears to be solid substance of Brit
ish opinion at the. back of Earl Grey
in the warm welcome which he gave to
President Taft's ut.erances. 1t would
appear, therefore, that nothing is Jack
ing to give form and substance to this
remarkable suggestion and the response
to it, except the formal submission by
President Taft to the British govern
ment of memorandum leading in the
same direction as the utterances quoted.
If President Taft would send this mem
orandum it is practically assured in ad-
vance that it will receive a very cor
dial reception by the British Cabinet,
and it is also clear that France is ready
to respond to it quite as favorably as
Great Britain,

MUCH WHEAT MISSING.

According to the computations of the
Portland Oregonian, some 60000,000
bushels Of wheat are lost, strayed, or
stolen. 1t asks where is that wheat,
and represents the case as follows:

SENATE PRECEDENT uNBRoKEN

II appears that the u. s. Senate is
determined to uphold its precedents and
maintain the dignity of seniority. Also,
that party lines will remain intact in
that body, so far, at least, as pertains
to the matter of organization, includ-
ing the makeup Of committees. There
has been 4 good deal of speculation as
to what might occur in supposed
breach between the insurgent Senators
and the standpatters, and possibility
of the former acting with the Demo
Gratis. So far as appears, there is no
breach in party harmony between these
factions, and no likelihood of any Dem
ocratic reinforcement from the insur-
gents. All the members of each fac
tlon stand together as Republicans,
whether they are found together on any
other proposition or not.
IT had been claimed in Eastern news
papers that, by reason Of certain alleged
iufirmaties and objections to various
Senators, the rule Of seniority would be
dropped, at least in part; and that
Senator Penrose OF Pennsylvania, for
instance, would not be allowed to head
the Finance Committee in succession to
Senator Aldrich. All this speculation
and gossip is done away with by the
semi official statement, which has every
probability of accuracy, that the rule
Of precedence will be strictly main
tanned, and that the Republican control
of the Senate will be intact
With respect TO measures proposed
for the consideration of the extra ses.
sion by the President, these being the
ratification Of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement and the establishment of
permanent tariff board, il is evident
that the lines as between the insur-
gents and standpatters will not hold.
Some of the insurgcnt Senators will
oppose reciprocity, while some of the
standpatters will favor it, The insur-
gents ought TO he counted assuredIy
in favor of permanent tariff board,
and some of the standpatters will also
favor it. II is likely that some of the
Democrats will oppose this proposition.
On the whole we should Judge that the
