1882 was unanimously ratified by the
senate.
The mouse will follow the senate's
lead and then the procedure of ter
mination will have been fully com
pleted 1t was the joint resolution re-
ported by the senate committee on
foreign relations, the substitute for the
offensive Sulzer resolution, that the
senate adopted without a dissenting
vote Seventy-two senators voted.
There were two roll calls. The
first was had on substitute proposed
by Senator Hitcl cock of Nebraska,
Democrat This substitute was a modi-
fication of the house resolution passed
last week under the leadership of Rep
resentative SulZer. The senator from
Nebraska toned the Sulzer resolution
Gown by striking out all references
to race, but left the charge that dis
ordinations had been made by Rus
STA on account of religion. He also
changed the language in the preamble
by making it appear that Russia has
put construction on the treaty at
variance with that held by the United
States and emitting all direct charges
of violation of treaty rights.
Fourteen Democrats, including Mr.
Hitchcock, and two Progressive Re-
publicans voted for this substitute, but
f1fty-four senator's were recorded
against it. The senators who voted
for the Hitchcock substitute were:
Chiffon, Culberson, Hitchcock John

Aims OF the University.

Rev. William Dorward in the Mil
waukee Journal: With glowing en-
thusiasm for the work near his heart
President Van Hise said to me:
The state university has undertaken
direct service to the state, This service
includes Investigations directed to the
solution of practical problems, 1t in
cludes action of the men of the staff as
scientific advisers to the state, 1t in
cludes carrying knowledge to the
people. In short. the state university
aims to become the instrument of the
state in upbuilding, material, intel
lectual and spiritual,
The university is mainly supported
through taxation imposed by the de-
mocracy upon itself, is for the sons
and daughters of the state, poor and
rich alike. 1t is the aim of the state
university to find n way for the boy and
girl Of parts, whatever the condition of
birth. 1t is its aim to lend hand to
all the people of the state without re-
spect to age, carrying out to them the
knowledge which they can assimiliate
1t is the aim of the state university to
democratize university education, and
if this be accomplished, it will be a
new thing in the world

bers of the Democratic county commit
tee to meet ut Dodgeville on Friday,
January IL, 1919, to elect a chairman, to
fill vacancies in the committee, and to
confer with other Democrats in regard
to county organization. 1t Is hoped to
start something doing along the line
suggested in letter from Robert b.
Kirkland which il published in this
issue of the Democrat. The time il
most opportune for work of this kind.
The people are looking to the founda-
tions of the government M they have
not looked before since it's establish

undertake to kindle anew love for
and an active interest in u party which
has been with the government since the
the birth Of the nation, and which
stands now, as it stood in the begin
ming, for equal rights and against spec
ial privileges.

men, the Democratic party has deserv :
eddy gained ground. The Democrats
in congress have secured good results.
and earned reputation for wise, con
structive craftsmanship They sup
ported administration measures that

were wrong. BY joining forces with
insurgent Republicans they restored

understand that the candidate of next
year will be man of Jeifersonian wis

century problems of government; and
that the platform will be sound and
progressive. And SO Democrats can
in confidence appeal to the country for
recruits for the campaign of 1912, 1t
will be brisk and cheerful fight. 1t
will be brisk because it will require a

TAFTS ACT CLEARS AIR
Russian Opinion, However. Is that

st. Petersburg, Dec 20.-The action
of President Taft in notifying Russia
through Mr.. Guild, the American am
bassador here. of the abrogation of
the treaty of 1882 has simplified the
situation. The bitterness and anger
aroused by the Sulzer resolution, as
passed by the house, have disap-
peared.
The opinion here is that much time
must elapse before any attempt is
made to negotiate a new treaty which
will wipe out thu absolute veto of pass
