The effort to prove Inconsistency be-
tween President Rooseyet'S position
with regard to the arbitration treaties
which he sent TO the Senate i'm 1903 and
his attitude toward the arbitration
treaties now pending is hardly likely TO
meet with success. The questions at
issue in the two controversies are so
radically different rs To permit of no
analogy. President Roosevelt submitted
10 the Senate conventions which pledged
the United States To arbitration. but Spe-
cifcally omitted all questions which af-
fectcd the independence. honor or vital
interests Of this country. As in all cases
of arbitration. it would have been neceS-
sary under those treaties To negotiate
special agreements defining the scope Of
the arbitration before any adjudication
could be undertaken. Mr.. Roosevelt
contended that there was no necessity II
submitting 10 the Senate for its ap-
rroval such special agreements. that the
approval Of the Executive would serve
every purpose, and that by providing
that such agreements must be submitted
Senate was converting a forward into
backward step. The Senate refused 10
heed this argument, changed the term
"specal agreements 10 treaties" and
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to complete the
original treaties 10y exchanging ratifica-
lions
Nr. Roosevelt's objection 10 the pend
ing treaties is not that they fail TO rec
ognize the constitutional prerOgatives OF
the Senate but that they may bind the
United States some day 10 arbirate a
question which affects IT'S honor, its in
dependence or its vital interests. Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Knox contend
that ample safeguards are thrown around
the interests Of the United States by the
initial and controlling provision Of the
treaties. that they bind this country tJ
arbitrate only questions which are jus
tciabe-that is, which can be settled
by the principles OF law and equity. Air.
Taft and his advisers argue with great
force that il is entirely safe 10 submit
10 arbitration every question which is
susceptible Of adjudication in accordance
with fixed principles Of international
law or Of equity. They point out, more
over. that most Of the questions which
have been suggested rs improper 10 sub
init ia arbitration are already excluded
from the justicablo class by existing IL

NOW EOR IHE MEN HIuHEh tf'
The elder Mcnamara, the most promi-
nent labor unionist upon whom the dyna-
mite outrages have thus far been fass-
ened. was only the secretary Of union.
How did the secretary Of n union OBJ
tain control of the large funds which
must have been required TO carry on
these wholesale dynamitings, extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast
and directed against the foes Of the
structural irOnworkers everywhere:
How could he do this without any SUI
perlor union official being cognizant of
his expenditures? The officers Of unions
are accountable for their funds. Ger
tainly a mere secretary cannot spend
them extensively without explanation
and without approval. Who approved
McNamara's expenditures? What do the
union records show?
If the McNamaras have not already
explained TO officers Of the law how they
obtained the authority TO carry on their
dynamiting the public authorities should
devote their energies to finding out, and
the ironwOrkers' union, if it wishes 10
preserve any Of the little usefulness that
il still retains. should cooperate with
the state in determining who the higher
circle Of dynamiters were and in bring
ing them to Justice. The public does not
know what information relating TO the
activities of individual unions is in the
possession of GOmpers's federation, but
whatever it is it should be promptly
placed at the disposal Of the prosecu-
tors. And if the ironwOrkers' union. of
which J. J. Mcnamara was secretary,
does not do its utmost 10 rid itself 0f
other murderers whom it shelters the
federation should drop it from its mem
bership. This is the only course for or
ganized labor to pursue if it does not
wish TO stand hOpelessly damned before
the public.
The attitude Of GOmpers gives little
hope that so long as he controls It's
destlnies organized labor will do any
thing TO clear itself of the terrible sus-
piciOn resting upon it, GOmpers does
not like 10 have any one mention a
hOusecleaning in organized labor He
has no power. he protests; he is no
man hunter nor is he that worst Of
all things. a defective" If anything
shocks GomperS more than the confes-
sion of the McNamaras il is the knowl-
edge that public opinion will not be sat
| isted TO regard mere union secretary
as the author and inSpirer of this gigan-
tic series of crimes As the inquisitio1
threatens those purieus of innocence
and ignorance, the Offices of the National
Federation. GomperS, whose boast it has
always been that he led two million
WOrkingmen. becomes the embodiment
of impotence. He can do nothing but
weep. Fortunately the purging OF the
labor unions does not depend upon the
fearful GOmperS alone. The public du
thorities should not rest till they have
convicted every guilty man. They have
made an excellent beginning and have
ample means of getting at the truth
The correspondence in their possession
should hhp to carry the responsibility
| up beyond the McNamaras. And the

know how union leaders are crying for
their blood. may be willing TO assist the
public prosecutor further.

An Artist and His Dog
BY CARL JENKINS


II was known to the Shefields. the
Durhams, the Chattertons and all
other country families for Ave miles
around that the little farm known as
Roselands had been sold to some one
in the city, but the name of the buyer
had not transpired. Roselands had
been owned and occupied by an old
recluse for years. His hobby was
growing roses, but he would never
sell or give one away. They simply

When 1t was known for certain
that the old recluse had departed,
and that the buyer was coming down

At two o'clock next afternoon, after
a walk of a mile. Miss May arrived at
Roselands. She had brought a knife
along, and she lost no time selecting
the bushes and making her cuttings
When she had bundled them up she
took a look into the cottage through
a window, and was amazed to find
that a lot of new furniture had beer

been cut down. and 1t was evident

And then she heard the chug Of an
auto, and lost 1t as the machine
stopped at the gate. and there came
the sounds of mems voices and the
barking of a dog. The buyer of Rose

walk out with that bundle of cuttings
under her arm, and her chin held

Should she go without the cuttings?
Should she break her a to the

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and 1t spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.

two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well. and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment

for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what / put

Hancock of the state Normal saw to

her work inspirational for those with
