q short ride in an automobile on the
track which was wet TO keep down the
dust for the President and his party.
This wetting was such as to cause driv-

event to protest.

Suggests a Compromise.

The President tonight suggested as a
compromise that the American members
of such a joint commission should be
confirmed by. the Senate. He said he
saw no reason why they should not be, if
Congress, or the Senate, thought it dan
gerous to trust the President only to
make the appointments. Mr.. Taft indi-
Gated that he would go farther than this
and be willing to wipe out the joint high
commission entirely, il need be, and
leave the decision as to whether ques-
tion is arbitrable to a board OF arbitra-
ton. He would also be willing to have
this board pass not only upon the merits
of the question, but upon the Jurisdiction.
EITHER we are in favor of arbitration
of issues which are likely to lead to war,
or we are not" exclaimed the President
If we are in favor of war as the only
means of settling questions of importance
between countries, then let us recognize
it as a principle and decline all arbitra-
tion but If we are really in favor of ar
bitration as a means Of avoiding war.
then why should we not be willing to
submit to impartial men the decision upon
a question rather than to leave it to the
result of bloody battle, in which, with
a fair cause, We may be beaten, or with
an unjust cause we may conquer?"

ERIE, Pa. September 16.-President
Taft ended the first of his forty-six days
Of speechmaking with an address to a
big throng in the Auditorium here to-
night. Before reaching here he had spent
nine hours in Syracuse, N. Y, where he
made three speeches. The President said
he had determined that his average dur
ing this trip to the far west would be
four and one-half speeches a day, so he
did not start out at top speed.
Mr.. Taft reserved his most important
utterance of the day for the speech here,
when he outlined a plan by which he
hopes to wipe out objections in the
United States Senate to the recently ne
gotiated treaties of arbitration with Great
Britain and France. These treaties
have been held up and threatened with
defeat largely because several senators
contended that the proposed joint high
commission which would determine
whether or not a question should be sent
to arbitration practically robbed the Sen
ate of its function of passing upon the
question.
