Congress will reassemble in
two weeks, and there is of course
much interest and speculation
with reference to what it will do.
1t is assumed that the Canadian
reciprocity treaty will be ap-
proved by the Senate and there
is expectation that some of the
important tariff schedules will
be lowered, or that an effort will
at least be made to lower them.
1t is deplorable that politics must
enter so largely into questions
that should be purely economical
and that both parties have heart
and eyes askance on the presi-
dency in every question that
comes up for legislation. There
IS much speculation with refer
ence to political divisions and
combinations and insurgents and
stand-patters, progressive and
retrogressive Democrats. The
sensational retirement of Senator
Bailey of Texas on the last day
of the last session and his pre-
,ipitate jump back into the Sen
ate it is thought has considerably
such influence as he
may have had with the Demo-
cratic minority. He was one of
the "snags" that did not go on

Washington Letter.

There is much interest in dip.
lomatic and political circles ir
Washington concerning a posi-
BILE peace treaty between the
United States and Great Britain,
a treaty which will have the po,
tential effect of an. alliance, al.
though it will not be known by
that name. Presidsnt Taft, in a
recent speech on the subject of
peace, said that he thought all
questions, even including ques-
tions of honor, might be left to
an international arbitration court,
and Earl Gray, minister of for
eign affairs for Great Britain, in
a recent speech, referred to Pres
ident Taft's speech and spoke
earnestly in favor of a peace
treaty between the two great
English-speaking nations. Those
who have kept abreast with cur
rent history will relnember that
there have been two recent eff
forts to secure a ratification of
peace treaties between Great
Britain and this country, but in
asmuch as the final ratification
must depend upon the Senate,
these treaties struck snags in
that body. Some of those snags
were removed on the 4th of
March last, and it is believed
now that the treaty will meet the
of the Senate and that
Secretary Knox and Ambassador
Bryce are at work in preparation
of an agreement to be submitted
to Congress, though perhaps not
earlier than the regular session,
which will assemble next De-
cember. There will doubtless be
more or less opposition in the
Senate to friendly proposals be-
tween this and the mother coun-
try, but, as remarked, some of
the snags have been removed.
Senator Root of New York, who
is chairman of the Carnegie
Peace Foundation, for which ten
millions of dollars were recently
donated by Mr.. Carnegie, will
doubtless do everything in his
power in the Senate to promote
this peace entente. He was Sec
retary of State during the second
Roosevelt administration, and he
is closely in touch with pacific
and philanthropic endeavor. Mr..
Carnegie has said that if two
great nations like this country
and England could reach an a.
greement to submit all questions,
even those involving honor, to an
arbitration court, it would not
be long before the other power
full nations would fall into line.

all municipalities in dry counties
a chance to vote wet or dry &C.
cording to the peoples wish; the
present bill applies only to cities
in dry counties having a popula-
tion of five thousand or more.
There are about forty such cities
in the dry counties and if they
(all. under the proposed new law,
: will vote wet a large number of
saloons will be opened.
We call this more objectiona-
BILE than the lately defeated bill.
It will, if made a law, discrimin-
ate in favor of the larger munic-
ipalities without a good reason.
Why should a city of five thou
sand population have an option
of selling intoxicants when ci-
ty of four thousand is denied the
privilege?
Furthermore, if the county
seats go wet under the new bill
the Rose law may as we'll be re-
pealed. The county-seat would
furnish liquor for all the county
towns and hamlets. Selling liq-
uor would become a sort of coun-'
ty-seat monopoly for the sale of
lntOXlcantS.
Suppose, for instance, that
Greenville voted wet and re-op-'
ened it's twenty or more saloons,
would not the county lovers of
intoxicants flock to our city to
buy and drink their booze? The
police court would flourish abun-
dainty. About forty county-seats
might possibly have a like exper-
ience.
Ifall municipalities in the coun-
ty are given the privilege to re-
open saloons, the drinking would
be done all over the county
much less dangerous-but the
new bill, if it becomes a law,
will concentrate the selling of IL
quor to cities of five thousand or
more. And these, by the mon.
opoly of selling, would become
whiskey soaked deplorably. Who
can fairly guess at the evil re-
suits?
County local option in the sell
ing of intoxicants may be an i'm
perfect law, but making the
county dry, and then turning the
county-seats into a cluster of sa-
looms, is an abominable freak.
Better free trade in intoxicants
than county-seat monopoly.
Will this new bill pass? We
think not. Perhaps Senator Dean
has no hope of passing it. but
feels bound to try to do some-
thing for his friends. And, in
any event, he can worry the
anti-saloon folks. Is there not
some danger Of OVERRIDING things
in that line? Temperance peo-
pie came very near making the
whole state a dry one some years
ago. and if the pro-saloOnists con-

AS might be expected, the first
kick against efforts at peace,
comes from the irrepressible Ir-
ish section. John Dillon, an If
ish member in Parliament, says
the peace proposals make no pro-
vision for small nationalities
struggling against injustice or
seeking freedom, and he insisted
that peace proposals were but
combinations of mighty empires
for the purpose of coercing 9TH
