Senator Root Is Wrong.

If what Senator Root has said DUR
ing the discussion of the Panama Canal
protest by Great Britain be true, our
government might as well go out of
business, abolish the parliamentary
bodies, and prepare to have our course
hereafter directed by alien arbitrator.
This is the doctrine advanced by Mr..
Root, lawyer and diplomat of unques-
toned ability:
ANY legislation which is enacted
ought to be framed with view to the
fact that this is matter about which
we cannot finally decide If the judg-
ment of the Senate is in favor of the
policy of Northumberland mine is
not, for think it is absolutely unjusti-
fable and unnecessary-nevertheless, we
should exercise our powers of legis-
lation with a view to the fact that our
right to legislate in such a way as to
discriminate is a right which may be
decided against us by the international
tribunal to whose decision We must
bow"
With all due respect to the Senator,
this is moDstrous, and if the American
advocates of a Hague decision on Great
Britain's protest. bluff pure and SIM
ple-should do what he intimates, their
work ought to be undone as speedily as
possible. just at the present time the
American people, more or less, are re-
sentful because their own courts have a
right to set aside laws enacted by Con-
gress, or in the several States, as the
case may be- And here is statesman
of the first rank, one who was at the
head of the Cabinet when The Hague
court was emerging from a tentative
proposition to an actual factor in the
affairs of the government, declaring that
a foreign tribunal may inhibit the en-
actment of laws by our own Congress
for our own citizens, if, in the judg-
ment of that tribunal, they run counter
to certain instruments drawn by our
State Department, which are not even
pc rtinent to this case, as the Hay
Pluncefote treaty does not touch the
canal foliage matter so far as the do
nestle trade of the United States is
concerned, and as England herself is
Substituting her merchant marine.
Senator Root also says that he knows
of no method by which that treaty could
be abrogated. This would mean that in
the judgment of our former Secretary
of State we are willing to deprive our
selves of our sovereign power. 1t is
indeed a new school of diplomacy that
teaches that a treaty of any sort cannot
be terminated. If he were right, if the
Hay auncefote agreement really can
not be abrogated, then our diplomats
should at once drop all other consid-
erations as being minor subjects and
bend all their energy toward finding
a way out of an impossible position. The
party that would assume the Immortality
of any treaty, or that would have so
stultifed itself as to word it in such
manner; government that would be
willing to delegate to foreign court
tribunal the right to pass upon the va
lidity of our domestic laws-tollage upon
ships trading between our domestic
ports is a strictly domestic affair-could
no. expect to have the confidence of the
people.

As the result of an agreement yester-

Sheehan Tells Of Col. Lannon'S
Activities in Campaign
Of 1904.

William r. Sheehan. of New York,
who was a member of the executive
committee of the Democratic National
Committee in the 1904 campaign. testified
yesterday that approximately 81. 900 900
was contributed for the Democratic fight
in that year The National Committee
itself handled directly only about $780,
0oo Mr.. Sheehan made these statements
before the Senate committee Investigating
campaign contributions
Mr. sheehan testified that he was away
from New York City. for thirty days dur
ing that campaign and that he knew very
little in regard to the details OF cam
paign contributions.
There were contributions of more than
5000" said he. but i did not charge my
mind with them. For the moment. do
not think Of any one except Mr., Belmont
who gave more than $500. There were
such people, of course
Who had the more active work OF
securing contributions in that campaign
asked Chairman Clapp.
Various people were solicited by MEM
bers OF the committee on their own re-
sponsibility," said Mr.. Sheehan. People
were circularized and We published re-
quests for funds
Well, were you soliciting funds7"

O. Col. Lamont? A. Yes, Col. La
mont had been Secretary OF War during
President Cleveland's administration.
Q. What more immediate business re-
lation had he sustained prior to his re-
tirement from active business A.
guess he was identified with several cor
porations. .-...
O. Do you recall any particular ones.
a. No, think he had been identiried
with the Great NorIhsru Railroad "r tie

Mr.. Sheehan said that he did not know
how much Lamont had raised.
O. Do you recall whether the money
that was contributed, with the rel lest
that II 60 to a State committee, instead
of to the National Committee. came from
any particular source with rerere zee 10

Senator. for this reason. that We made
II n rule not to accept money from
trusts. That was specinc. That was
understood by all those In authority IN
the committee. l do not believe a dol
lar Of money was accepted by the
Democratic campaign committee directly
or indirectly from trusts in the year
1904. There was a sum or SlUOIO con-
tributed by the American Sugar Refining
by Mr.. Havemeyer, but by

the check was cashed, and We requested

Do we ever think of the pleasure and effect on ourselves of the paintings or prints that are constantly before our eyes?

It is yividly colored print ot l very old and very ugly Juliet leali ing over the balcony in the arms of 6 Romeo who would not take a prize for anything except climbing Up a vine.

Collar spotting," the new automo bile sport, is at it's best when the streets are dirty enough to nod pud dies of water When the broadly tired wheel of rho machine strikes such a puddle 3 thin but solid sheet of water is thrown upward and out ward, tho path it takes being deter mined by the speed Of the machine. tho depth of the liquid and, to a cer- sain extent, it's consistency. These three factors mako the aiming of the sheet a matter O. great skill. When the puddle is close to the curb it is possible for the expert spctter, by swerving into it, to throw the sheet in such a way as to hit mans col lar-even when it's g.

FINE OLD MEMORIAL. TOWER
On Town Bridge at Milford, Conn.,, 1t Records the Colonial History
 of the Place.

The town bridge at Milford. Conn.,. ss Q unique memorial of the colonial History of the place. Milford was first
 settled by colonists from the old Eng. fish town of the same name, and tie bridge, which was built to celebrate the town birthday, is an exact replica of an ancient one in the Milford over the Sea Every stone in the round tower is memorial to some historic Mifordite. Over the massive door is the scvjptured head Of an Indian, sup posed to be Ansantawae, the chief who sold the town site to the col
 onists in 1639. The knocker on the tower door once belonged to the old house where George Whitfield preached in TITO. The doorstep is from the mansion of Robert Treat
 governor of the colony of Connect
 cut for thirty years. One stone is dedi
 cated to the memory of. .Ionatbab
 Law, a governor from 1742 ito 1751
 This stone also once formed part ;,J the governors threshold. Another

 bridge corner by the tower the ;oWn perpetuates in granite it's gratitude to "Captain Thomas Tibbals (obit 1703]
 in consideration of his helpsu,neas to show to first corners the place and the land records Another tablet records
 the name of Peter Prudden, first pas
