Some important doings are ex-
pected at the meeting OF the Board
of Alderman tonight. Just what
transpired at the conference of the
Democratic aldermen, held Friday.
night, has not been made public.
| There Is no reason to doubt, how
ever, that Alderman Seaman ex-
pressed himself in plain language
and made 1t certain what action he
would take Is meon else did not
move to undo the work that has
brought about the recent agitation.
AS long as the Democrats had
such a clear majority In the Board
of Aldermen 1t Is hard to under
stand why they have taken the stand
they have during the past week or
so. There was no need OF creating
such discord and the whole thing
tends to bring discredit upon the
city's administration and to con-
vince the people that It Is party In
| terest and not city welfare that the
aldermen are working for.
The Democrats have made good
during the past few years and the
city has made rapid progress under
their guidance. There is every rea-
son to believe that Alderman-at-
Large Garretson. although a Repub-
Iiean. was ready to work hand and
hand with them in carrying on this
work. Just why all this apparent
-@ntagonfsm was displayed against
him and such tricks resorted to, y
hard to understand. Perhaps ac-
ton will be taken tonight that will
straighten out the whole matter. SO
that the recent upheavaI can be
overlooked and the city can advance
along lines satisfactory to all.

&W S#8~TTF
ently ghis u ! victory for Nj. Hoose
welt aud : defeat for President Taft.
II - to be regretted that these:
treaties cannot be passed IN their
original form. President TAFT has
done q good work for the cause OF
peace throughout the world and the
drawing up Of these treaties with
two of the leading powers, is the
elimination OF his great effort. This
has brought more credit upon his
his administration than any other
one thing and 1t will be the feature
by which 1t will be remembered re-
gardless of the outcome.
1t must be admitted, however,
that some progress has been made.
For n thing, the treaties allow a
yea to pass before referring any
matter In dispute to the Joint High
Commission. This win give the hot
heads a chance to cool off. Besides,
the treaties have other features that
are a step in the right direction and
the mere fact that England and
France are willing to go into such
agreements means much for the
cause of peace throughout the
world.

THE ARBITRATION TREATIES.

former President Roosevelt IN the

leader is pressing the cause of
peace and caused to have drawn up
two treaties, one with England and
the other with France, providing
.os ine arbitration of all questions.
even those including ~so-called ma
ttonal honor.
When these treaties went to the
senate for confirmation there was
opposition strong enough to hold
them up for the time being. Since
then there has been much talk on
both sides. Mr.. Roosevelt has taken
the lead In the effort to prevent the
senate from allowing these treaties
To Eo into effect. The former presi-
dent claims that there r some
questions that cannot be arbitrated,
citing the Monroe Doctrine and the
questions of admitting Asiatics to
this country, as examples. He
claims that for the United States to
agree to arbitrate all questions is
only inviting the nation to break its
word az there are things. such as
those already mentioned, on which
the United States would not accept
an adverse decision.
President Taft has made an earn-
est plea throughout the country In
behalf OF the treaties, as they stand,
but indications are that he has
failed. There Ia every reason 70 be-
iieve that tbs treaties, when brought

BRING NAVY YARD HERE.

Captain l.. 8. Van Duser recon-
mends that the Brooklyn navy yard

several reasons for this proposed
change. But the C~ommunipaw sec

great ship canal across New Jersey
will end and war vessels would be
conveniently located to sail either

be needed, by the inland water route.
The site at Communipaw Is too
valuable to be taken up with o navy
yard. 1t is only a question Of time
when 1t would be crowded out Of
there,
The location Of such an industry
in this vicinity would be a big thing
for all concerned. 1t is at least
worthy OF consideration. Perhaps
