Should Discuss the Treaty.

OF Secretary Knox's note replying to
the British complaint that the Panama
Canal act violates the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, the Pail Mall Gazette says:
Coming from any other country than
the United States Mr.. KNOWS reply
would be deeply resented. We know,
however, that American statesmen
never have caught the trick of diplo-
matte courtesy as il is understood in
Europe, SO, therefore, we are indisposed
to lay stress upon mere crudcness OF
language.
Mr.. Knox's note appears to have been
a plain expression of his views. He
failed to agree with the British con-
tention that the. canal act violated a
treaty obligation. and he said so in
terms that could admit of no misun-
derstanding. As we have already
pointed. out the arbitration treaty OF
1908 binds Great Britain and the Unit
ed States to arbitrate differences Of a
legal nature, which it may not have
been possible to settle by diplomacy"
Irrespective of the merits of the
question the right of the American
State Department further to discuss the
question is not open to question. This
is legal controversy, and it will be
the more readily composed if not sur
rounded with the mist of diplomatic
phrases.
The captious comment Of journals
like the Pail Mall Gazette plays beau
tifully into the hands of those jingo
Senators who declare that never will
they arbitrate this question; that our
money paid for the canal, and that
we may do as we please with our own
property, &c.
Another London newspaper, the
Gazette. says: "Mr. Knox's
reply doesn't bolt the door, but it
scarcely can be said to be satisfactory"
Well, what would have been salts
factory? An admission by the American
Secretary of State that the Panama
Canal act does contravene the treaty |
and a promise forthwith to repeal it?
Or immediate acceptance of the British |
proposal OF arbitration without any eff
fort to attain a diplomatic settlement
Apparently, from the British stand |
point, only that is satisfactory which is
favorable to Great Britain.

New York. Jan 25.-when Mrs.
Thomas A. Edison. acting as proxy for
her husband. the wizard electrical in
ventor. received the medal awarded to
Mr.. Edison by the American Museum
of Safety, for having invented the
greatest electrical device for the con-
serving OF human life during i1sis. she
informed the presentation committee
that Mr.. Edison was unable to. attend
the presentation ceremonies personally
because of the fact that he was too en-
crossed in the work of perfecting his
new talking-moving picture machine.
Mrs. Edison declared that the inventor
had been locked In his laboratory for
the last two months. having his meals
sent to him and catching a few hours
sleep each night on his workbench
The work which won the award for
Edison was a storage battery which
permits light without heat. for use
where dangerous explosives are han
died. such as In mines.

What the Change Would Mean.

A change in our national election
practices, though it would entail al
tered franchise usages in the different
States, would be for the better, espe-
cially when il came to having a new
Congress 60 to work at once instead
of having to wait year after being
chosen, as is the case at present.
Therefore there is great deal to
commend the suggestion to set another
time at which the President-elect and
the new Congress shall take office. 1t
has been recommended that steps be
taken looking toward such constitu-
tional amendments as may be neces-
sary to bring about the following
changes:
That Presidential, Congressional, and
State elections be held the second week
in September, instead of the first Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem-
Der, as at present. That in the Presi-
dental years the outgoing Congress
shall come together on October IS and
canvass the vote. Fix the Presidential
Inauguration for the first week in No
vember, which is the most delightful
season of the year at the Capital. Have
that Congress, which was chosen at
the September election, meet annually,
not later than the middle of November.
Put no limit on the length of the ses-
sion of Congress.
The Constitution provides that Con-
gress shall meet at least once year,
and that such meeting shall take place
on the first Monday in December.
Every two years there is short ses-
sion, which ends on March 4. These
sessionsiIequently are productive of
defective legislation as it often hap
pens that bills are hurried through. The
purport of the foregoing suggestions
is to make Congress Immediately re-
sponsive to public sentiment. Were
Congressional elections and Presidential
elections held in September. were the
inauguration to take place soon there
after, and were the new Congress to
meet forthwith, there would be an op-
portunity to at once begin the work for
which it is assumed demand was felt
and which was made manifest in the
election returns. Under the proposed
plan Mr.. Wilson would not have been
forced to call a special session.
1t is also suggested that the resolu-
ton calling for an amendment, limiting
Presidential tenure of Office to one
term of six years, be held up until the
whole matter can be presented.

HIS OPINION.

A Pension Oface clerk,
Who was never fond II work
Was expxtiating on the reason Why
The Inauguration hall,
In the Pension Ofhce hall,
Was rclcgatod to the sweet By and b..
He thought IL too bad
And likewise very sad.
That he would lo-s his extra leave forever more.
He had reason to suspect.
That the Pryriieut-elect,
Was the turkey trot" In dancing rather sore.
But when thu Season came.
For the festiye baseball game,
He hoped the President-to-be would not object.
For If he let his veto fall
On the rrrztest hall f all
II was certain that the county would be wrecked.
He felt there Was a chance

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Two important declarations, both of
them significant as to the future pros
poets of the Democratic party, were
made last week The first was Wood
row Wilson's plan TO control and curb
the trusts, and the second was Chair
man Underwoods assertion that the
new tariff will not adversely affect
American industries.
Gov Wilson must be given credit,
and no little credit, for having pre-
scented a definite plan OF antitrust leg
islation. 1t makes no difference
whether he is the creator or merely the
sponsor of the proposed law. The fact
is that he has presented something
which is not glittering generality.
According to his plan. corporations
must not undersell in local markets,
FIX prices to consumers. issue watercd
stock, form holding companies, agree
to control prices, or TO limit produc-
ton, own stock in other corporations,
tion. manufacturing. or selling. These
prohibitions certainly go to the root OF
the corporation evil Their inclusion
in the bills which have been present
cd to the New Jersey Legislature has
naturally attracted wide attention, and,
upon the whole. favorable comment. 1t
is expected that Mr.. Wilson, after his
Inauguration. will recommend Federal
legislation along the same lines.
Coy. Wilson Is thus strengthening
himself in public opinion by dcmonstrat-
ing that he has constructive mind.
The trouble in the past has been that
everybody realized that conditions
ought to be 'remedied, but no one has
undertaken to attack the problem with
definite recommendation. Even Mr..
Roosevelt, with all his mental activity,
lacks the power to grasp details which
Mr. Wilson has displayed Whether
the latters suggestions are the true So
luton. and whether they can be en-
bodied into practical and effective
law, is question which can only be
determined by experience In the
meantime the country will commend
the new President for the zeal as well
as the wisdom which he has displayed,
and which is an earnest that he will
bring to the discharge of his duties a
determination to accomplish something
toward solving the most complex prob
lem OF the times.

assuring. but must necessarily be taken

1t would be ideal. OF course. if the
. American people could procure their
necessities as well as their comforts at
the lowest possible price without, at the
same time, I'M uring American working
men by causing reduction of wages.
There is no doubt that thousands of
articles can be made cheaper abroad
than in this country, and if any scheme
can be devised whereby they can be
brought here and sold without inter
fcring with American manufacture it
ought at once to be put into effect. If
Mr.. Underwood and his associates on
the Ways and Means Committee can
accomplish this, the Democratic party
will remain in power indefinitely. The
fact is. however, that the country does
not believe that it can be done Manu-
facturers everywhere are marking time
One of the witnesses at the tariff hear
ings recently stated that his firm had
usually contracted by this time for
$4,000 worth of supplies, but in view
OF the uncertainty of tariff schedules
the purchases had been restricted. to
$4,000. This feeling prevails every
where. Manufacturers know that mod
ern methods of transportation put
them in competition with practically
the entire world. Japan, for instance.
seems far away, and yet the fact that
tine Japanese laborers are content with
from ; to II cents day is a factor
which has a vital bearing upon our
own industries.
This is the reason why American
producers are not relying altogether
upon the statement that they are not
to be adversely affected. They pre-
fer TO wait and see.
In this connection a speech recently
delivered in the House of Representa-
tives by Mr.. Towner, of Iowa, is
worthy of comment. Mr.. Towner took
the trouble to dig into history and pre-
sent an interesting list of special ses-
sions of Congress since the foundation
OF the government He cited the Con-
stitution to show that these sessions
nay be convened on extraordinary
occasions and he pointed out that in
The Washington herald., 1913-01-26

The situation in regard to Demo-
cratic control of the United States
Senate reuiains unsettled only as to
its extent. Up to the present time the
Democrats are assured of one-half of
the membership in the body. In Della
ware the Democratic candidate lacks
only three votes of an election, and
probably will be eventually chosen,
while it would not be surprising if the
division in the Illinois Legislature
finally resulted in the choice of one
Democrat and one Progressive. The
political complexion of the new Sena-
tor from New Hampshire is still in
doubt. The narrowness of the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate viii make
the passage of the tariff bill matter
of considerable hnesse.
1t is worth while to revert again to
the results of the November election
upon State issues as compared with
the Presidential candidates. Kansas,
Montana, Nevada, New Jersey. Oregon,
and Tennessee emerged with Demo-
cratic Senator's, succeeding Republicans,

SWEDEN.

The recent combination Of the to-
bacco companies has resulted in cut.
ting down of employees, particularly
statesmen and Office help. To offset
the feeling of those who are to be
let out of service the new trust has
announced a series of pensions and
cash stipends, amounting to 10000
crowns per year.
A late dispatch states that there is
now no doubt about the matter of
state appropriation for Swedish ath-
letics, to make possible a winning par
ticipation in the Olympic Games and
other International contests. The
amount has not yet been determined
but the Athletic Association has good
hopes of securing an adequate amount
for the purpose.
There continues to be considerable
trouble in securing the necessary re-
cruits for the up-keep of the army in
a way satisfactory to the war depart
ment. General Major Wrangel of the
Sixth Division believes this is due to
the enlistment restrictions and pro-
poses some changes which he believes
will make enlistment more attractive
Among other things he suggests a
liberal premium at the time of dis
charge, to be given to all who serve
out their enlistment in a faithful man
ner.
The central bureau Of animal hus-
bandry has just issued report show
ing the condition of the stockraising
industry for the past year. The fig
ures indicate that there has been a
very considerable decrease in the Wis.,
ible supply, the proportion being 942
head per 1000 inhabitants for last
year as against 972 per 1000 for the
preceding year. There are about 1885,
600 head less than year ago, the
greatest decrease being in sheep and
goats. This condition means contin-
ued high prices for meat.
The Mayfiower movement in Sweden
has come to be one of the important
philantrophies Of the year Last year
the total amount received for the sale
Of the first Mayflower amounted to
201,8 crowns, which was better than
the previous year by several hundred
crowns. The number of societies en-.
gagged in the enterprise increased dur.
ing the year from $50 to 403 The
money is used for, the national anti
tuberculosis work and the sale of the
flowers. has now bel come an annual
event. A big increase is expected this
year, as conditions are better than
for some years past. ~-.
