PEACE TREATY SIGNED.

One swallow does not make O sum-
mer, and the signing of peace pact
between the United States and The
Netherlands will not usher in the mil
lenium. Yet the fact is undeniable that
the event is of moro than usual sipnifl-
canoe, marking as it does another step
along the road all civilized nations de-
sire to travel
The treaty signed by Secretary Bryan
on behalf of the United States and
Chevalier Van Rappard for The Neither
lands provides that any question which
cannot be settled by diplomacy shall be
submitted for investigation TO an inter
national commission Of five members,
the period Of Investigation being fixed
at one year. No provision is made for
maintaining the status quo in the mean
time.
The chance Of serious trouble between
this country and the land of the tulip
and Queen Wilhelmina is exceedingly re-
mote. War with the Dutch burghers is
unthinkable, so the signing of the
treaty will have no practical effect ex.
cept in 80 far as it may encourage the
more powerful nations Of Europe to ac-
cept the proposal Of the United States
and place war with its attendant hor.
rors under the ban OF civilization.
Europe has been fittingly described
as an armed camp for many years and
long ago it was said that every German
laborer went to the fields with a sol
dier upon his back. Conditions have
grown worse instead Of better until
many Of the most powerful nations of
the world are no longer able to stand
the strain. The recent proposal Of the
first lord Of the British admiralty, Win
ston Churchill, for "naval holiday"
is the logical result.
The idea appears TO have taken root
in Germany, a hint having been dropped
that il the United States were to make
the proposal it would stand an excel
lent chance Of being considered. One
years. cessation from the building of
warships would mean much TO Great
Britain 1t would mean still more to
Germany. Tho proposal will probably

A RIDICULOUS PRESIDENT.

Yuan Shi Kai, who still calls himself
president OF the Chinese republic, al
though he has become a despot,
continues to enact a hypocritical role.
the absurdity of which he may not see
but which cannot escape the
attention Of the civilized world. His
last ruso is petition which purports to
be signed by General Ii Yucn Heng,
vice president, demanding that the Chi
nese parliament be dissolved because of
its inactivity. IT will be recalled that
only six weeks ago Yuan Shi Kai ex-
PEELED from the parliament all the mem
bers who had taken an attitude in oppo.
sition to his government. This action
practically eliminated the parliament,
but Yuan, knowing that the eyes of the
civilized world were upon him, cast
about for an excuse TO get rid of the
lawmaking body altogether, and he has
chosen the ridiculous petition of the
vice president
In view OF the fact that the United
States government has recognized the
Chinese republic, President Wilson will
be placed in an embarrassing position
by the conduct of his Chinese colleague.
The pretended republic over which Yuan
exercises control is nothing more than
despotism, but with Oriental cunning
and prediction for subterfuge Yuan
seeks to commend his autocratio gov
ernment to the world by various ex-
cuses. 1t is amazing to read, for ex-
ample, that the petition cites the con-
ference Of the thirteen original Ameri-
can states to revise the constitution as
warrant for governing China by
means of servile administrative coun-
Gil that obeys absolutely every beck
and call Of the tyrant.
The conference of the thirteen states
paved the way for the present consti-
tuition Of the United States. 1t created
the greatest and the freest republic
that ever has existed. 1t taught the
world that a mighty nation was posi-
BILE with liberty under law. For one
reason or another all the ancient re-
publics had flourished for a short time
and had perished. Those who advo-
Gated aristocratic forms Of government
declared tnat permanent republic was
impossible, but the fathers of our coun-
try succeeded in establishing a perma-
nent republic which has permitted the
widest industrial development, together
with individual freedom and distribu-
tive justice. 1t requires, therefore, the
utmost impertinence on the part Of
Yuan Shi Kai, who is merely the slav
ish catspaw Of European interests, to
appeal for American consideration by
such obvious trickery,

son to think that the French railways
will need ere long to be permitted to
raise their rates, and points out that, with
the exception of Germany-in almost
every other country in Europe rates have
recently been increased, and In some
cases very greatly Increased.
On the railways of England there have
been numerous increases In passenger

suit Of special act OF parliament an In
crease Of per cent on almost all freight

The Same thing has happened on the

Belgium has made various small in

OF 10 cents per ton on short distance coal.
In Denmark a new tariff was introduced
In December, 1911. implying an average

rates
In Russia there has been some Increase
In passenger fares and a marked In
crease In the rates for a large number
OF manufactured articles.
In Austria come years ago the govern

both passenger fares and goods rates by
an amount estimated to bring in S2,-

s9,2o0,000 from the latter. But as the
expected results were not realized. in
1911 and 1912 further important ad-
vances were made In the tariffs on ce-
ment, lumber. alcohol, petroleum, coal.

In carloads,
In Hungary there have been large ad-
vances. In 1910 and 1911 they made con-
siderable Increases In freight rates. The
results were satisfactory, but insufn-

there have been all-round advances Of
