tons which the two governments may
unite in referring to it.
The treaty under which this commits
sion was appointed has been regarded
as a most far-reaching and important
guarantee of peace between the United
States and Canada, and it is said to
be the model from which Ambassador
Bryce already is drafting similar
agreement for arbitration between the
United States and the British govern
ment. The commission will prove an
important factor if its full scope of
power is utilized. Questions of uni
formity in railroad and water power
regulation and in patent and immigra-
ton laws are following closely on the
discussion of tariff schedules, and the
investigations of the commission will
provide a substantial aid to joint lcgis-
lation.

Some dirty hands are clean and some
clean hands are dangerously dirty. &C
cording to DR.. NJ. l.. O'Brien. OF Pitts
burg who is al the New Ebbitt.
This means that some dirt is harm
less and some is not. Most often it is
the invisible dirt that is dangerous TO
both life and health.
The farmers hands may be grimy
from the soil OF the farm" said he:
the plasterer's hands may be covered
with lime and mortar: but in neither
case would the dirt be dangerous. The
germs of disease are everywhere. 1t is
believed by sanitarians that unclean
hands spread more typhoid than is car
ried by flies. Thousands of cases have
been traced directly to cooks, cooks
helpers, bakers. dairy people. and those
who have handled or prepared food with
unclean hands-hands polluted with the
germs OF typhoid.
IF a dozen men and woman dip their
hands into a basin of water, il will be
found to be swarming with colon bacilli.
And these average hands are the ones
that handle the bread. meat. fruit. pas
try. and, in fact, everything We cat and
drink"

100000 FUND USED
TO ELECT LORIMER?
Chicago Editor So Testities;
TAFT Denies Meddling.

Springfield, H.. March Oh. H Kohl
saat, editor of the Chicago Record Herald,
told the Senate investigating committee
to-day that he knew 10000 had been
used to procure the election of william
Lorirner to the United States Senate.
He then refused to give the committee
the source of his information, notwith-
standing that the committee has the
power to imprison him because of his
refusal When Mr.. Kohlsaat was first
called to the stand, he was asked where
he obtained his information, on which
he wrote an editorial saying 10000 had
been raised to elect Lorimer. He de-
Clined to answer several questions, saying
he could not violate a confidence.
There was prompt and emphatic deniaf
on behalf of President Taft yesterday OF
the statement that he ever at any time
expressed a desire that William Lorimer
be elected United States Senator from
the State of Illinois
The prediction was made by a Senator
yesterday that the Lorimer case would
be reopened in the Senate shortly after
the extra session convenes, by the intro
duction Of resolution similar to the one
Senator BeveridEe proposed. and which

From the PittSaUIr- Sun.
One of the things for which tho stage
and tho American people arc to con-
graduated is that no such open mani
festation Of disapproval finds expression
in our theater as that which demcans
the British playhouse. When it happens
in Uncle Toms Cabin that the dogs
are good. hut they have poor support.
the American audience wraps itself in a
polite silence whose chill by the time it
crosses the footlichts feels like cold
storage blast to the low comedian and
the heavy. The traditional English
method of condemning a performance
heretofore has been a chorus of Boo
but later advices indicate that Britons
who dislike making themselves conspicu-
Gus in this fashion have hit upon the cx-
pedient Of coughing. While it is admitted
that some English-made drama is of a
character likely to gag and choke the
play-goer, the premeditated cough is but
little removed from the rowdyism of
French audiences footing their disap-
provo through horns.

MANN TO Be CHOSEN

Complimentary Vote for For

It is growing to be the impression
among certain Republican congress
men that Joseph G. Cannon will he of
fered the party vote for Speaker at the
organization of the House next Tues
day. but that James r. Mann. of IL
linois. will be definitely chosen floor
leader of the minority. This belief was
supported yesterday by the rumor that
the former Speaker would withdraw
the use of his name at the opportune
moment. and that the Illinois Repre-
sentative would he put forward in his
place.
Former Speaker Cannon and Rep
resentativc Mann held a long confer

should continue to occupy the chair.

Lesson of the New York Fire.

There is force in the comment of
Commissioner Waldo upon the recent
tragedy in New York, that the fire de
partmcnt has no voice in the matter OF
providing means of escape or enforcing
regulations for the safety OF buildings
after they arc constructed. except in
regard to equipment for extingushlng
fires. There is not enough provision
for the prevention of fires, and the
authority for inspection and for enforce
ment OF regulations is not concentrated
No external authority can preclude
criminal negligence and careIcssness in
the management of building in use
II there was smoking IN the rooms filled
with shirt-waist makers. or if doors were
locked that should have been open for
escape. If stairways were obstructcd. if
lnfamnlablc material was carelcSsly ex-
posed, or If any one Of the ordinary
precautions for safety was neglected,
the blame belongs to the proprietors and
occupants OF the premises. Who is TO
hold all the factory and loft occupants
OF the city to reasonable care for the
safety Of their own business and those
employed in it,
The chief lesson of that terrible fire
is that buildings which are nominally
fircproof cannot be safely left without
safeguards against fire Even if the
frames and floors and walls are proof
against combustion, the buildings may
be lined with woodwork and filled with
lnfamnable materials, and they may be
occupied by such a number of people
that their escape will be impossible in
case OF fire starting in the interior on
any floor, unless ample means are pro-
vided for extinguishing flames and for
reaching places of safety. Uniform
regulations, uniformly applied. are not
necessary TO insure safety. but means
adapted to different conditions
1t is probable that the requirements
OF the law and of the city ordinances in
regard to the safety of such buildings
are inadequate, but it is more likely that
those existing were not strictly observed
Apparently there were too many persons
employed on a single floor for safety
in case of danger and the consequent
panic. Hundreds of girls with sewing
machines. or other implements Of their
trade, were crowded on a single floor
where masses of flimsy and infammable
material were hung or scattered about

VIEWS AND
INTERVIEWS
Am ba ssador HIS Views,

Ambassador David Jayne Hill. who is
at the Arlington, in speaking Of dis
armament, recently said that excessive
armament is tending to excite universal
suspicion. create unnecessary alarm. and
produce a situation which is artificial,
unreasonable. and extremely dangerous.
DR.. Hill, however. said he did not favor
complete disarmament, because navies
are effective for the protection of life
and property. and for the maintenance OF
order In turbulent parts of the world.
THE world to-day is In a condition OF
polite international anarchy" he added.

Our Friends the Office Seekers.

Once again We have them in our
midst Our friends the Office seekers
have invaded Washington. and upon
their hungry vision the dome of the
Capitol looms large. The halls of the
House of Representatives. erstwhile
thronged with sturdy Republican pat
riots, are now empty, and thousand
vacant inches await an equal number of
impatient Democrats. There is no lack
of worthy aspirants After sixteen years
of cold and pitiless exile. the official
chairs seem most inviting. and the pay
roll, filled with comfortable figures,
warns the cookies of the heart.
Not from the South alone, but from
every section, comes the eager host.
The aroma OF the pie is in the air. 1t
has an appetIzing flavor and makes the
hungry soul more hungry still. The
rcd book points the way TO the delightful
feast and at every plate the monthly
checks are laid with pleasing regularity.
No wonder that Washington is the
mecca Of the loyal worker, whose
democracy never was as keen as now
and whose desire to serve his country
leads him into the very Jaws of the
caucus. The air resounds with pro-
tcstations OF efficiency. while letters Of
commentator are as thick as leaves in
Nallombrosa.
We wish all of the applicants much
joy in their quest for official jobs.

Treasury never is depleted and whose
