MAKING HISTORY.

(Daiy Journal Tribune Knoxville, Ten Aug. 6)
President Taft will take his place in the list of American
presidents who have made history
Last Friday will stand out prominently for all time the
worlds calendar the coming of event that promises
Tor the promotion of world peace and the banshment of war
han anything that has happened since the beginning the
Christian era, pertaining to human government
1t was on that day that the arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain signed under the pro-
visions OF which future differences that may will be settled
by arbitration instead of by war.
On the same day like treaty signed by France and it
now expected that other nations will follow in signing similar
treaties
1t may not be that the signing of such treaties will be the be-
ginning OF the millennium that they will put an end entirely
to wars
But they show that the minds of civilized men are turned
away from war and in the direction of peace.
When one looks the pages of history to find underlying
causes Tor past wars is surprised that the causes
have been light
with the ratification of such treaties those that have been
signed between the three organizations mentioned easy to
see that the time has when civilized nations will not so to
war with civilized nations without due cause
There will be unless should be plainly seen that
they are for the interest of humanity
More than ago President Taft announced his belief that
two important powers could be induced agree to submit
their differences to arbitration long step would be taken to-
wards universal peace
And through his efforts the step has been taken
It will mark epoch in American history and in the history
of the world.

MAKING A RADICAL DEPARTURE.

To the close observer of political the trend of govern

the sentiments and beliefs of the people.

Naturally this meeting with less favor at least
enough to give standing followed by the conservation of
our streams and water powers-keepng the speak, in
the hands of the government for the benefit of the people
The old proverb says Behold what a great blaze little
fire kindIeth."
It is true in this conservation business.
Without either commencing condemnng any of these
measures-The Journal simply calls attention the facts
These facts if they tell anything tell of leaning toward
and adoption of Sociaistic ideas.
They are not strongly Socasc but they the brand

These moves show that the gates opened propo

water powers immense and wide spread are proftaby exploit

ment is practically forced the administration
The control of the harbor facilities and government owner

does night the day.
The administration did not open the matter the
powers that be wide and insisted upon being heard
acted on
line and Uncle Sam doing business as coal dealer is no
wild stretch of imagination.
Where will it end?
The acceptance of one proposition becomes the precedent
which forces the acceptance of another
This other in turn becomes cause and in turn produces an

THE FIRE imp
JOKED WITH
THE FIREMEN

That fire is no respecter of per-
sons or places was we'll demonstrated
at 1890 last night, when a clothes
locker in the rear of the fire house,
on Chemeketa street, caught fire,
from some unknown cause. Four
firemen were in front of the build
ing at the time, and the others were
preparing for bed upstairs. The
blaze was quickly extinguished, but
not before a loss of $50 or more was
sustained by the various members of
the engine company. The locker was
filled with clothes, and all were de-
stroyed. Chief Darr stated this
morning that it was his opinion that
something of an explosive nature in
pocket of one of the coats in the
locked had exploded and started the
blaze. Driver William H. Phillips
lost a pair of rubber boots, a coat, a
linen duster, and several other small
articles, the total value of which is
at least IS. William Ewin lost a
cap, a sweater and a coat and vest.
Driver Earl Beck lost a $32 coat. The
men are minus their uniforms this
morning, and the fire in the clothes
locker had put damper on their US
ual cheerful spirits. Who is to re-
place the damage is not known, as
OF course, there was no insurance on
the clothing, and the men probably
have to pay for new outfits out of
their own pockets.
