DLsTRUsT OF THE TAFT JUDGMENT.

I was the foreign affairs committee of the Senate that showed
Ii up the pernous character of the arbitration treaties negotiated
by the Taft administration and sent to the Senate by the
President with a strong recommendation for their approval. The
committee brought out the fact clearly enough that if these treaties
should be adopted the Monroe Doctrine would be invalidated and
some of the most critical relations of the United States with
foreign powers would be submitted to the decision Of foreign arbf-
traitors. Only a weak judgment could have favored the treaties
as they were sent to the Senate. In this case, as well as in others,
the country has had evidence of a weakness at the White House
that has seriously impaired its confidence in the presidential judg-
ment. Evidently the Senate foreign affairs committee lacks conf
dence, too. It's action in the matter of a Mexican grant on Magda-
lena bay to Japan shows that The committee was not satisfied
with the attitude and assurances of the administration on the
subject. 1t wanted the facts. The committee we'll remembers the
propositions by Mr.. Taft looking to the settlement of vital ques-
lions of our national policy by a foreign tribunal

A MOBILIZATION OF THE STATE GUARD.

F the plans for military maneuyers around New York this
ii year are carried out as projected the New Jersey National
Guard will be modified for the first time within the memory
of any of its members and the field staff of the Governor will for
the first time see divisional service in the field. Except as they
may pass each other in and out of encampment at Sea Girt each
summer the infantry regiments of the State are utter strangers to
each other. Such a thing as a brigade formation has been exceed
ingly rare. There are divisional staff officers with only theoretical
knowledge of their field duties, except what was gathered from a
few days visit to the regular encampment in Texas during the
Mexican troubles on the border. The maneuvers this year are not
intended for holiday play. The severe experience to which the
militia regiments were subjected in the maneuyers around Bos-
ton last year will not be repeated, but the purpose is instruction
and betterment, and there will be produced some of the actual con-
ditions of a war campaign and enough to teach officers and train
rank and file. The government can never bring the National Guard
up to the regular army standard of efficiency, and does not propose
to try, but it can make of the Guard a real military force to consti-
tue a second line of defense and be a school for the soldier.

SPEAKER cLARK,s MAdNANIMITY.

81 PEAKER CLARKS magnanimous withdrawal of his name
" as q candidate for the presidential nomination from the
Democratic primaries in New Jersey, as a matter of cour
tsy to Governor Wilson, leaving the latter without an antagonist
IN his own State, has greatly enhanced the prestige of the Speaker.
His high character and sterling qualities, which have been so
fcrc1bly impressed upon the national mind since Congress con-
yened in special session last spring, are nowhere more thoroughly
appreciated than in New Jersey, and to a majority of the Demo
cratic voters the withdrawal of his name from the primaries is a
deep disappointment, while they admire all the more the candidate
who is capable of this magnanimfty in a political struggle. The
rule OF courtesy for a party candidate of keeping out of a State
that has a rival candidate, adopted for himself by Speaker Clark,
will be the established rule for all presidential candidates here
after. 1t brings into American politics a feature that commands
national approval. For obvious reasons it could not obtain this
year IN the struggle for the Republican presidential nomination,
which involves a great party revolution. In the Democratic party
and in the example of Speaker Clark the rule is already made and
will be paramount.

CONGRESS- AND THE FLOOD CALAMITY.

H0 ONGREss being in session, it's members have a national
" objectlesson in the unprecedented floods that are devas
tating large sections of the West. The Mississippi river,
the greatest asset of the nation, has broken it's banks, and its
waters, that should be the source of enormous wealth and limit
less prosperity, are making ruin and desolaton. The full extent
of the calamity is not yet realized. Congress is occupied with
affairs of great national moment at the present time, but no ques-
ton that is now before it can compare in Importance with that of
legislation to remove the causes that have brought about this
immense disaster. The great rivers of the country have been Grim
inany neglected by the national government, and governmental
neglect and worse have produced the conditions that make floods
and calamity.

EXAMPLES FOR GOVERNOR wilson.

n OvERNOR FOss'S withdrawal of his name from the Demo
MI cratic primary ballot in Massachusetts shows a sensitive
ness that does him credit. Governor Foss simply declined
an advantage over party opponents who he had heard had signi
fed their intention to withdraw. With all candidates withdrawn
there will be no preferential name on the primary ticket, but the
voters will not be inhibited from writing the names of candidates
on their ballots. In New jersey, by the withdrawal of Speaker
Clark, there can be only one name on the Democratic primary
ticket, that of Governor Wilson. The objection of Governor Foss
to an unopposed candidacy in his State as destroying "the chance
for a popular expression of preference" has equal force in New
Jersey. The courtesy of Speaker Clark is fairly matched by that
of the Massachusetts governor, who declines to accept any ad
vantage in his own State that may be offered to him in the presi

RnbId Dogs.


To the Editor OF the Evening star:
Every time I read of rabid animals
I wonder why the dogs are allowed on
the streets and in neighbors' yards.
A cat or any animal other
than a dog must be either
bitten or get the saliva of a dog
to contract the rabies. To restrict the
dog would not only safeguard children,
and other animals, but would, in a
measure. help the dog himself. or
course a dog can develop the rabies
without running with other dogs, but
he would not be In such great danger.
Why people who care for a
dog do not care enough for 1t
to protect it as much as lies in their
power seems strange, no matter how
great or little their intelligence. One
would suppose they would wish to pro-
tect the children at least, II not their
neighbors' animals. A READER.

Thompson was the only manager of

did make such a rule or order.
We earnestly hope Mr.. Thompson
will be able to retrieve his losses and

of his muniicience. NEWARK.

Sympathy for Fred Thompson.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The article published in your paper
last night that Frederic Thompson had
been dispossessed from Luna Park.
Coney Island, was sad news to many
Newarkers, especially the thousands OF
children, who, as guests Of the Evening
Stars outings during the last four
summers, enjoyed his hospitality gratis
at Luna Park.
Mr.. Thompson's heart is always in
the right place when 1t comes to pro-
viding pleasure for children; more so
for those who are not provided with
parents who are able to give them lots
of amusement. He had made a stand
ing order for the little guests of The
Star that they should have free &C
cess to his park and all of the reserva-
lions under his control, and maybe he
