TREATIES AND ANNIVERSARIES.

TREATIES AND lNNIIERSARIES.
Some highly interesting and profitable
reflections are caused by the approXi-
mate coincidence of two anniversaries
In our foreign history and the neSotia-
ton and. it is to be hoped, ratification
of general arbitration treaties with two
great nations. The other evening there
was celebrated the one hundred and
thirty-fourth anniversary Of the signing
oS that treaty of alliance with France
which was so important contribution to
the success of our Revolution. Prepara-
tions are now in progress on an i'm
pressive scale for celebrating the one
hundredth anniversary of that treaty OF
Client which for the second and final
time established peace between this
country and Great Britain. And few
weeks hence, it is confidently expected,
there will be ratified general arbitration
treaties between this country and those
two. There is in these circumstances
something which win enhance the value
of the treaty-making and the celeOra-
ton of the anniversaries.
There is no occasion TO spend time in
speculating upon the motives of the
French government in making the treaty
of alliance with us, or upon the com
narrative values Of the services rem
dered by Beaumarchais and Lafayette.
Whether King Louis and Vergennes de-
sired the more to aid us or 10 injure
England is now an academic question.
The great. salient fact is that France, or
Frenchmen with the assent and ap-
pr0val of their government did render
us services of simply inestimable value,
Of which this country can never cherish
n TOO grateful memory. Neither is it
pertinent to dwell upon the differences
of opinion and of policy which have
arisen between this country and the
United Kingdom in the last hundred
years. The one essential fact Is that
for hundred years the two nations
have been at peace, and have been
pretty steadily creating and strengthen
Ing bonds Of peace which are now prac-
tically unbreakable. 1t is TO be noted
that during almost mathematically the
same. identical hundred years Great
Britain and France have been at peace.
There have been disputes, some bicker-
ings, and at times strained relations ali
around; but there have also been ali
around influences working for peace and
for the cultivation Of those relations
which should make peace perpetual
Now, it is pre-emlnently fitting that
these three nations should at this time
enter into something like a league of
sweet reasonableness and Of inclination
toward the reign Of justice rather than
OF might From the historical point of
view there are no other three nations in
the world whose association in the man.

squarely on the head. New Workers are

Of the wisdom, the practicability and the
success of the revaluation system which
was applied to the railroads Of New Jer-

of it is that taxpayers are universally
gratifled while the railroad companies

adopted for ascertaining the values of
the properties is for the first time a
scientific one, and is the fairest ever en-
ployed. That makes it look as though

DEsToRE ASSESSMENT PLAN

N The Press recognizes that the
tendency in any irrigated section is
to elect a set of officials and then de-
vote the remainder of the year to
Criticising them This is due to the
fact that there are many details OF
the work of distributing water that
are only to be seen from inside the
water office. For this reason this
journal is averse to offering criticism
Of the water officials.
Yet the fact undoubtedly is that the
board of directors of Water Company
No. l have made a serious mistake in
changing from the assessment to the
toll plan of collecting water rates.
The chief mistake was in making
the change without the stockholders
passing on the question. Even if the
change had been for the better, it was
of so revolutionary a character that
only the stockholders themselves
should have passed on the question.
The Press does not question the
good purpose of the directors in max
ing the change, but it is so manifestly
in the interest of the large bodies OF
land but poorly cultivated and against
the interest of those who work their
land thoroughly that its influence can
not be good
The directors, it is to be hoped, to
avoid confusion, will at once give way
to what is the overwhelming senti-

bull interests, only to lapse into dull
ness and finally sag off to a net de-
cline OF about five points from Satur-

handlers of this business of about So
points regardless of future course of
values. The market acts tired out on
the bull side and would probably enioy
good reaction if it were not for the
tlmidlty of the bears A few more
days of favorable weather would prob
ably result in a little more confident
selling, as the crop is known to be in
good shape west of the Mississippi
and it is figured that clear weather
would do much toward overcoming
some of the complaints now coming
from the eastern belt. Cotton futures

OOSEVEUT EXPERTS

N Fresno Republican,: One OF the
striking things about the Roosevelt
movement is the number of profes-
sional experts in the science and his
tory of government who are actively
interested in it,
Here are. for instance, only few.
and these only the best known of the
men of this class with whom the
writer happens recently to have come
in personal contact.
Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, for
long time professor of American
history. and now professor of gov
ernment in Harvard university.
Professor Samuel McCune Lindsay,
president of the American academy of
social and political science, professor
of social legislation in Columbia uni
versity, New York, and head of the
New York School of Philanthropy.
Professor A. L. Hatton, Mark Hanna
professor of politics in Western Re-
serve university, and chief consulting
expert of the Ohio constitutional con
vention.
Professor E. D. Adams, professor of
American history in Stanford uni
versity.
Professor Thomas Reed, professor
of political science in the University
of California.
Professor William Draper Lewis,
dean of law department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Dean Lewis
is one of the best known law writer's
and editors in the United States.
Hon Dudley Foulke. president of
the National Municipal league.
Clinton Rogers Woodruff. for eigh-
teen years secretary and active execu-
tive head of the National Municipal
league
This is only a small part Of the list.
Ii could be extended indefinitely by
adding the names of others of the
same class of whom the writer's
knowledge happens to be only second
hand; by including scholars equally
eminent. but in other specialties: and
by adding the names of a large num-
Der of technical experts in govern
mental administration, whose work
does not happen to be of the sort TO
/ have brought their names to popular
attention. A poll of the experts in at
tendance on the meeting Of the
National Municipal league in Los An,
geleS, for instance. would have shown
almost all of them for Roosevelt, and
the few remaining ones for Wilson.
Nobody was for Taft. So the list above
is mere sample and fair sample of
the opinion of the professional ex-
perts of the country. In fact, abso-
lutely the only eminent university ex-
pert among whom the writer has re-
Gently seen who is for Taft is Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia university.
And Butler, as is well known, is a re-
dictionary of the most extreme Wall
street type. Moreover. Butler is not
a specialist in government economies.

own university, is actively for Roose-

.eMocRATs FOR ROOSEVELT

l. 1t is not surprising that num-
Der of Democrats in Imperial county
are supporting Roosevelt. There are
many southern Democrats here as
progressive as any Republican, and
they prefer a Republican Progressive
free from any entangling alliances to
a Democrat, however progressive him
self, whose only hope for election de-
pends on his ability TO hold the sup
port of Democratic reactionaries.
Roosevelt. elected. would be free as
the air to follow the Progressive poll,

manner of obstacles placed in his
pathway by his own supporters. No
great victory ever was or ever can
be won for popular government when
half the soldiers are under command
Of enemies of popular government.

ANOTHER CAUCUS ON
BATTLESHIPS is SOUGHT

WASHINGTON, July 23-The dead
lock in congress over the necessity
for two battleships will in all proba-
bility be broken at a caucus of the
Democrats of the house, which it is
learned tonight will be called this
week
The issue is one of the most inter
esting ever presented to congress. rs,
although it has been called a political
partisan issue, it is not really so, as
there are more than thirty Democrats
who disagree with the late Democratic
caucus and hold congress must appro-
pirate for two battleships at the pres
ent session.
The house will go preliminarily on
record on the two battleship program
! of the navy department Tuesday.
Chairman Padgett will then report the
disagreement cf the house and senate
and ask for further instructions. Fol
! lowing caucus directions, the Demo-
cratic house will vote against the sen.
ate amendments increasing the navy
and providing for two battleships.
When Chairman Padgett asks for
new instructions he will be told that
the house will not vote for authoriza
! tion of battleships, because of caucus
| instructions.
! Padgett will then ask for a new
caucus by the Democrats to undo the
| former caucus instructions.
| If left free, the house would author
ize two battleships at this session The
