Former President Roosevelt has an
article on "The Steel Corporation and
the Panic of 1907" in the outlook.
Mr.. Roosevelt discusses his recent
appearance before the congressional
committee Investigating the Steel Cor
poration, repeating the written state
ment he then PRESENTED and dealing
with some of the lines of inquiry and
his responses. He says:
"On Saturday, August 5, in compli-
ance with the request of the chairman
of the congressional committee inves-
tigating the absorption of the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Company by the
Steel Corporation, l appeared before
that body. l had nothing new to
which to testify. There was not fact
of the slightest importance or of the
slightest bearing upon my action
which was not already known, and
which had not been known from the
time | acted and, incidentally, l may
mention that this is also true as re-
CARDS Panama, the dealings of my adj
ministration with the Sugar Trust or
any other trust, and as to any other
action of my administration. Nobody
need feel either concern or hope as to
Whether anything done by my admin
istration will be discovered for the
excellent reason that there is nothing
that was hidden.

ment which follows. Several questions
were then asked by different members
of the committee. Most of these ques
lions dealt with matters not of suf
ficient moment to warrant allusion to
them here. Many of them were as to
what my belief was concerning the
motives of the Steel Corporation leo
pie in acquiring the Tennessee Goa
and Iron Company's property; tc

indicated, in an interview, that Mr.
Harmon would not receive his support
for the Democratic nomination. He
spoke in the highest terms of Champ
Clark as the right man for the nomi-
nation and is understood to have
given orders to his friends to push
Champ Clark from now on.
Should the Democratic national con-
vention, however. fail to nominate
Clark or some one regarded by Mar
Hearst as progressive, Mr.. Hearst
gives plain notice that he is either in
the field to lead a third party or will
support some good man representing
progressive ideas and thought.
Silent as to Wilson.
Whether Mr.. Hearst regards Gov
ernor Wilson of New Jersey as a pro-
gressive no one can tell from any re-
cent utterance of his. His unstinted
praise of CHAMP Clark points to his
intention to make the Missourian the
choice of the progressives for the
Democratic nomination.
Having led the Clark forces and
Clark failing to get the nomination,
with the progressives in control of
the convention, the figure of Hearst
would loom up as the man for the
progressives to rally to, it was pointed
out today. Hearst, it is said, undoubt-
eddy will have may personal friends
and supporters in the convention
From his own state of New York he
could command little strength, if the
Tammany men control the delegation
but from California, Illinois and other
states he will have admirers and par
tisans ready to rush to him as a dark
horse. 1t is even intimated that Mr..
Hearst would not be displeased with a
ticket headed by Clara for President
and himself for vice president.
Whatever his own Loltical aspira,
tons or his ambitions for others, Mr.
Hearst has cut himself loose from any
possibility of sympathy with Presi
dent Taft and the Republicans. The
New York man is again in the Demo
cratic fold at least until the Demo
Gratis fail, if they do, to put up a pro
gressive candidate for the presidency
There is now little question that
Mr.. Hearst and his papers will keen
up a hot fight, and that in New York
an effort will be made to head of
Tammany and its forces and contro
the New York Democratic delegation
The fight may go so far, it was sug
gested today, as to bring about a con
testing delegation from New York,

SENATE MINORITY REPORT IN
FAVOR OF THE PEACE TREATIES

WASHINGTON, August 21.-Though
the arbitration treaties are admittedly
dead for this session, the Senate today
took them up behind closed doors long
enough to release for publication
minority reports supporting the treat
les substantially unamended.
The minority report proper was sign
I ed by Chairman Cullom, of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations; Mr.. Root,
formerly Secretary of Stale, and MI
Burton from Mr.. Taft's State of Ohio,
and advocates the treaties practically
assthey stand, but with an amendment
or subsidiary resolution. Mr.. Burton,
though he signed this report, filed in
dependently a supplementary report
denying the need of any amendment.
The most important statement about
the treaty is contained in Mr. Burton's
supplementary report, and it marks
clearly the great binding power over
the Senate that the friends of the
treaties expect those conventions to
have. 1t was the fear of being thus
bound that induced the majority of
the Senate Committee majority
made up without regard to parties-to
report an amendment to the treaties
striking out the last paragraph of arti-
Gle three, in which it was provided that
in case of diplomatic failure to deter
mine whether particular case is justi-
ciable, joint high commission OF in
quiry should be named, and if all its
members or all but one decide the
case to be justiciable, it should go to
arbitration lin accordance with the
provisions of this treaty"
/ Mr., Burton contends that as the pro
visions of the treaties expressly pro-
vide for special agreements in each
case to be formulated by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, the
same advice and consent would
be necessary after the decision
Of the joint high commission, but,
he continues, if the Senate re-
fuses it's advice and consent it
does so contrary to it's treaty obi
cation" In other words, the Senate's
right in regard to preventing special
cases from going to arbitration under

MOONLIGHT AT THE BEACH.

The beach at Haleiwa when the
moon is around the full is one of the
most attractive places in the world.
The long stretch of white sand, the
entire absence of coral makes bathing
in the moonlight at this delightful part
of the universe a genuine pleasure.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-07

the general treaties would not be
other than the right of Congress now
to pass a law in fragrant violation of
existing treaties. That has been the
fear of the critics of the conventions
ever since their text was made known,
but not till today have the friends Of
the treaties admitted that the treaties
carried in their text justification for
the suspicion that actuated Mr.. Lodge,
Mr.. Bacon and the others in their
majority report.
ut follows, therefore" says Mr.. Bur.
ton, after referring to the decision Of
the joint high commission of inquiry,
that in accordance with the provis-
ions Of article /, the next step in the
proceedings would be- so far as the
administrative branch of the Govern.
ment is concerned, to enter into special
agreement of arbitration as provided
for in article 1, referring the ques-
tions in controversy to a tribunal Of
arbitration. The special agreement
would then go to the Senate for its ad.
vice and consent In such a case as in
every other case, it would be within
the power of the Senate to refuse it's
advice and consent to the special
agreement, but it would be contrary
to it's treaty obligation"
Senators Cullom and Root, making
practically the same contention, under.
took to provide against any possible
mishap by suggesting a declaration in
connection with the resolution of rati.
fication explicitly excluding from the
terms of the treaty all question 'in.
volving the maintenance Of the tradi-
tional attitude of the United States
concerning American questions or
other purely governmental policy"
In addition, Senator Burton suggested
modification of this amendment un.
der the terms of which the excluded
questions are specified. He named
questions arising under the Monroe
Doctrine and those pertaining to i'm
migration and territorial integrity,
while Senators Cullom and Root treat.

IT ISN'T POI IN WASHINGTON BUT
AN AR0IO, ''OASHEEN Al GRATIN''

Scrap Book: At the annual banquet
of the National Geographic Society at
Washington the guests and members
were introduced to "dasheen au graf
in" This is not the name of a dis
tinguished traveller. Quite the con-
trary, it is something to eat Now it
is said that dasheen is to become one
of Americas regular articles of diet,
South Carolina having had success in
raising it,
AT the geographic society's dinner
the dasheen was served in place of
potatoes, and the guests, among them
president Taft, pronounced it a dis
'tinct addition to the gastronomic cata-
logue. Government experts declare
they are satisfied that dasheen can be
grown at an immense profit in this
country and will encourage it's cultiva-
ton. 1t has a nutty flavor.
Dasheen is an aroid. There are sew
eral aroids with which the govern
ment plant bureau has been expert
menting, and we shall soon have a
number in the market The familiar
ornamental plant, called elephant
ear" is one of the most desirable edi-
BILE aroids and may serves both as
food and ornament.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-07

It is an aroid which yields the poi
of the Hawaiians, the malanga of the
Cubans and the OTTO of the Panamans.
1t is said that aroids have fed more
people than any other product of the
soil, yet in Europe and America they
are unknown as food.
When Hawaii became part of the
United States, Americans learned
that the aroid known as taro formed
the basis of the native diet. Ameri-
cans learned to like it. They also
learned when we acquired Porto Rico
that there the natives lived chiefly on
taro and regarded it as their staff of
life.
It was then that the Agricultural
Department commenced to sit up and
take notice and experiments were
started. In South Carolina from an
acre of taro ton and half of tub
ers was harvested last year. This
was the first large quantity of aroids
ever raised in this country.
The tubers are about the size of a
mans fist. They are good boiled
baked or fried and are delicious when
mashed and mixed with cream, butter
and seasoning.
They cannot mature north of the
Mason and Dixon line

less than in July. 1910 In conse-
quence, nearly ali the counties got
less this year than last, though a

new method Of apportionment.
There are now 1884 school cen

counties show losses in the number
OF census children as follows: Was.

show gains except Douglas which
remains stationary.
In the state as whole we have
every reason to expect a steady in
crease yearly In the number of cen
sus children as Nevada becomes more
an agricultural state, and since the
interests are reasonably cer-
tain to continue prosperous for many
years to come. This means more
schools, more teachers, and greater
necessary outlay for school purposes.
The income firm state school
funds is not Likely to be materially
increased. In fact, unless we can get
much better investments it is certain
to decrease, as the interest-bearing
debt OF the school lands sold is being
gradually paid up. More and more
