Great Care Enjoined.

Anyway, rivalry would not be stopped
by one nation dropping out Of the race
Although Great Britain had a strong
navy, her army was small, and an agree
ment with Germany needed careful hand
ling.
"Arbitration,'' Sir Edward went on
has been increasing. 1 should perhaps
have thought it Improbable to mention
arbitration had it not been for the fact
that twice within the last ewelve months
the President of the United States has
sketched out step IL advance more
momentous than any one thing that any
statesman in his position has ventured
to say before. His words are pregnant
with very far-reaching consequences.
Mr.. Taft recently made the statement
that he does not see personally any rea-
son why matters of national honor should
not be referred to court of arbitration
He has also expressed the opinion that
IL the United States could negotiate a
positive agreement with some other
nation to abide by the adjudication Of ar
international arbitral court on every
question that could not be settled by
negotiation, no matter what was involved
long step forward would be taken.

London Newspapers Welcome With
Enthusiasm Sir Edwards Tribute
to Taft's Suggestion.

LONDON, March 1.-THE afternoon
papers welcome with enthusiasm the
cordial support of President Tafts
known wish for a general Anglo
American arbitration treaty, given in
the house Of commons last night by
Sir Edward Grey. 1t is assumed that
the American executive cherishes the
hope that an amendment to the exist
ing arbitration treaty will remove the
present prohibition in article 1 against
the submission to arbitration Of ques-
tfons Of vital interest to the two par
ties or involving their honor.
The foreign secretary referred to
President Taft's recent arbitration
speech as bold. courageous and preg-
nant with consequences" and added
that he believed that the British gov
eminent and parliament would place
the stamp Of approval upon the senti-
ments expressed.
Real and Natural Alliance.
The Evening Standard holds that "a
real and natural dual alliance would be
not that between England and France or
England and Japan, but between Eng
land and the United States.'
IT." says the Standard, these two
governments could agree that the arma-
ments of one should be available to resist
an attack upon the other there could be
no more danger from aggression either
in the Atlantic or Pacific regions.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that Sir Ed
ards response to President Taft's sugges-
ton carries with it the full strength of
English feeling and opinion"
The Westminster Gazette expresses the
hope that this great movement of Eng
disappearing peoples toward peace will
go forward and prosper.
In Defense Of Estimates.
Reginald McKenna, first lord Of the ad-
miralty, in defense of his estimates had
explained to the house that in 1914 Great
Britain would have thirty and Germany
twenty-one dreadnoughts. an unreason.
able margin. The size of the British
navy, he added, practically was governed
by that of Germany. and unless some
change occurred in the German naval law
this year would be the high water mark
in the British estimates.
Secretary Grey dealt with the difficult
ties to be encountered in disarmament.
He asserted that unless the mischief was
brought home to mems feelings as well
as to their minds, the growth of arma-
ments must in the long run break down
civilization.

as advertising is concerned. But as
some have not understood our posi-

free all meetings and entertainments
which are free to the public. All
meetings where an admission fee is
charged or which are conducted for
tne purpose of raising money will be
advertised by the Herald at regular
rates. Cards of thanks will be run
for fee of fifty cents each (and we
would prefer not to run them at
that, lodge resolutions one dollar

to without favoritism and so far as
the plan has been tried we believe
it has been far more satisfactory
to our patrons than the old system.

liar degree, became an object OF
dislike to Gamble and Crawford.
1t was matter of politics on
both sides. The congressman
supported him as he worked for
them which was sufficient rea-
son with the senators for oppos-
inc him. Added to this was the
even more intense feeling
engendered locally over the
same contest. The Herald does
not like the whole affair. 1t sees
no reason why lIackett should
have the Office because of his
friendship to one faction any
more than he should be rejected
for hostility to the other. Our
senators should be in more use
ful business. But politically the
Parker editor has nothing to
camplain of because he was
beaten at the political game
when played according to the
same rules by which he himself
was accustomed to play. Per-
sonaIly we symPathize with Bro.
lIackett for, aside from political
considerations, be is genial and
accommodating, is competent and
has given a life time to building
