NEWS OF THE WEEK IN OUR OWN STATE
Pitney's Appointment held up-Arbi-
tration Treaties kiIled-The Presi-
dent Replies to the Colonel.
CONFIRMATION HELD UP

1
The United States Senate has &C
far refused to confirm the nomina-
ton of Judge Mahlon w. Pitney
Chancellor Of the state of New Jer-
sey. to be Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, succeed
ing Justice Harlan, some of the deci-
sions of Judge Pitney not being pleas
ing to the Senate.
KILLED IN THEIR RATIFICA-
One of the most conspicuous acts OF
Pres. Taft was his negotiation Of
arbitration treaties between Great
Britain, Germany, France and the
United States. These treaties were
far in advance of any treaties ever
made between governments, and, II
was thought. would eliminate all pos
sibilities of war, for they provided
for the submission of practically all
disputes to an arbitration commission
But the Senate. while ratifying the
treaties, SO amended them as to rob
them of all virtue.
THE PRESIDENT WITHSTANDS
THE COLONEL
Pres. Taft, on his speaking tour
ia Ohio and Illinois at the end Of
the week. took occasion in a number
of addresses to let the people know
how he stands on the issues that Col.
Roosevelt has injected into the pre-
nomination campaign. OF course the
President did not deal in personali-
ties, but In the calm, judicial way,
for which he is noted, laid bare the
faults and foibles in Mr.. Rooseyelt's
platform.
As to the recall of judicial decis-
ions. he showed how judges are to
decide cases according to the laws
and constitution just as they find
them, and that laws and constitutions
should not be set aside by any mo-
mentary clamor.
EXPORTS OF NUTS AND FRUITS
Exports Of fruits and nuts from the
United States aggregated more than
200 million dollars in the last twelve
years. reaching their highest record
in the calendar year just ended, with
total of 20 million dollars, or more
than three times as much as a dec
ade earlier.
