THE RENEWED ARBITRATION
TREATIES.

Those 'limited arbitration treaties"
which expired some time ago have
been renewed with France, Japan, Por-
tugal and Sweden. With these coun-
tries, therefore, we are bound to arbi-
trate all questions that may arise un-
der treaties provided sovereignty or
the national honor be not involved
There are no controversies outstand-
ing or threatened between the United
States and France, Portugal or Swe-
den. There is controversy with ia
pan, but the senate, in renewing the
treaty with that country, serves no.
tice either that it does not in the least
object to arbitration of that contro-
versy, at the request of Japan, or that
it feels certain of an outcome entirely
favorable to the United States.
We say this because of the contin-
ued irrational opposition to the rati-
fication of an identical treaty with
England. There are senators who
frankly say that they are against any
treaty which might compel US to arbi-
trate the Panama toll dispute. A treaty
without provision requiring arbitra-
tion of issues Of this sort-issues of
construction that involve neither SOW
ereignty, vital interest nor national
honor-would be ludicrous travesty.
No one believes that England would
sign So denatured and emasculated a
treaty. Is the senate willing to make
a byword and reproach of itself? If
not, it will brush aside the incompre-
hensible opposition and renew the very
moderate and indeed irreducible con-
vention with England.-Record-H Her

THE BALKAN DISRUPTION.

The silent war" now being waged
between the disrupted forces of the
Balkan league is purely over the ques-
tion of the spoils of victory over the
Turks.
1t is charged that when the sigma
lures of the delegates had been affixed
to the treaty of peace between Tur-
key and the allies, it was found that
there was an "annexe" providing that
the treaty should go into force with
out further ratification. This IAN
nexe,' which translated into the
American speech of the hour means
Joker" is said to have been added by
Bulgaria's representatives, and that
the peace protocol gives their country
decided advantages in the distribution
of conquered territory. Bulgaria says
she is entitled to number of import
ant places, including Monastir, where
the Servians wrought their greatest
deeds of arms. Greece also has COM
planned that the "annexe" has wrought
great injustice to the Greek cause.
Open clashes have come, and the world
now looks upon the remarkable spec
tacle of allied nations fighting over
the spoils of war before the first blood
of sacrifice has been dried upon the
captured ground.
The tas of conciliating these war
ring nations has been left to Russia
task that is apt to strain Russian
diplomacy to the utmost. AS matter
of fact it is the impression that Rus
sia has attempted little, because it is
generally recognized that these ques-
tions at stake between the allies might
as well be settled by the sword first
as last. An armed settlement seems
to be all that will be lasting.
Each of the allies seems to proceed
on the theory that the territory won
by its troops must be retained Bull
garia claims to be entitled to the lions
share, for the reason that it was first
in the field and did the bulk of the
fighting. Financiers of Europe are
standing aloof, as are the diplomats
of the powers. The test is to be one
of individual strength, with 100000
trained fighting men engaged--prac-
tically all who tcok part in the over
throw of the Turks. There seems to
be little likelihood that there will be
rehabilitation and final peace until
some desperate battles have been
foupht.-Denyer Republican.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION IN SESSION

SALT LAKE, Utah, July with
addresses of welcome by Governor
Spry, Mayor Park and other city and
county officials, the fifty-first annual
convention of the National Education
al association began this afternoon in
the Tabernacle here. That it will be
a harmonious meeting, with few, if
any, of the chickering's that have char
octerized previous conventions, was
the confident prediction of Edward T.
Fairchild, president, and other officials
of the association. They believe that
the differences of the past have been
buried
President Fairchild opened the con-
vention with an Introductory address
and his annual report. The only dis
cussion at the initial session was that
following the reading of a paper by
M. p. Shawkey of Charleston, w. Va,
on the subject: what shall we do
with the single room school"
During the forenoon the national
council of education held its second
session and the discussions of several
of the departments of the convention
were opened, notably the departments
of kindergarten education, manual
training and art, child hygiene, Ii
braries and rural and agricultural edu-
cation.

ENGLISH MERCHANT MARINE
TO BE EQUIPPED WITH GUNS

LONDON, July british naval
gun factories are busy turning out a
new lot of At inch guns with which
to equip the mercantile marine. The
Royal mail ship Aragon, now en- route
from Southampton for South America,
was the first thus to be armed under
the policy recently announced by First
Lord of the Admiralty Winston
Churchill. She carries two of these
guns in her bows, and it is expected
that within a few months practically
all merchant ships sailing under the
British flag will be similarly supplied.
This step has been taken by the ad-
miralty because certain of the powers
have reserved the right of arming
merchant vessels, and in time of war
British ships carrying grain or other
supplies would be at their mercy un-
less also armed. The cost of installa-
tion is to be met by the companies but
the admiralty furnishes the guns and
ammunition, and provides for the
training of members of the crew to
work the guns.

WANT IMMIGRATION LAWS
RADICALLY CHANGED

SEATTLE, Wash, July Radical
changes in the immigration laws of
the United States were demanded to-
day by speakers before the sectional
meetings of the fortieth National Con-
ference. of Charities and Correction
which convened here July 5. Declara-
tions that the present laws are let
ting in hordes of immigrants who can
never be assimilated by this country
were freely made by speakers. An
important feature of today's meetings
was an address by Charles W. Blan-
pied of the Pacific Coast Immigration
congress, who has just completed a
special survey of Pacific coast condi-
tions relative to defects in the immi-
grafton laws. One of the delegates to
the conference today declared that
advocates of protective tariff are
foolish to preach that doctrine and
then refuse to fight for an 'immigra-
tion protective tariff that will keep
bordes of foreigners from coming in
to the country to replace American
workers at pauper wages" 1t was
confidently predicted that the confer
ence would pass resolutions demand
ing action by congress tending toward
remedying present evils in the immi-
grafton laws.

CLEVER TRICK OF THIEVES.

BERLIN, July THE German pro-
vincial police are endeavoring to
roundup gang of hotel thieves work.
ing an entirely new trick variously
known as "the magnet" or "the moth
and the candle" Hotels are selected
in the provincial towns which have
no electric light and few even among
the best, have that. Usually rich
farmer or traveller is picked out as
the victim. A beautiful young wo-
man, called the magnet" rents an
adjoining room. Late at night the vic
tim is awakened by light knock on
the door and a shy but sweet voice
stammers out that its owner is in diff
ficulty. Her candle or gas light has
been extinguished. She has no
matches.
The victim can't resist that voice.
He opens the door of his room and
sees in the dim hall, picture of be-
witching negligee, downcast eyes and
blushing cheeks. The victim, whether
young or old, feels that gallantry de-
mands he should aid beauty in dis
tress. No, he demurs at giving her
matches. He insists upon going to
her room and lightning the candle or
gas himself. The lady stands at the
door of her room; rarely will she enter
while the chivalrous farmer is there.
She is very modest. The victim is
in no hurry to leave.
When he awakens in his own room
next morning he finds he has been rob-
bed of money and jewelry. Confed-
crates of the magnet" slipped into
the room while the magnet" was
having her candle or gas lighted.

BASEBALL EXPERIMENT IN

Mr.. "Muggsy" McGraw, manager OF

baseball team, one Mr.. Brennan, who
explained that he was provoked to the
deed by the New Workers. taunts at
the Quaker City players during the
course of game.
The manager of the New Yorlss is
admitted to be one of the foremost
artists in what is technically known as
getting the goat of opposition play
ers Getting ones goat consists in
standing as near player as the rules
will permit and making comments on
said players personal appearance,
family history, moral character, taste
in dress, and anything else of u per-
sonal nature that may enter the goat
getter's head. This is form of bully

Such post-masters as McGraw seem

genuity which can only be described
as fiendish, the tormentor plays upon
certain discordant string until some
thing in the brain of the human target
breaks, and a player goes "up in the
ain" and commits a series of misplays
that results in victory for the tortu
,er's team. The higher strung the VIC
lin, and the more alert his mentality,
the quicker he is likely to succumb
to this novel form Of mental torture.

Here is warning that is making
the rounds of the papers: Remember
the railroad is at the foundation of
our industrial and commercial sys-
tenn. To stop transportation is like
stopping the circulation of the blood.
Some twenty-five or thirty years ago
there was a great snowstorm that
blocked the streets of New York city
and paralyzed the railroads. The pa
ralysis did not last many days; but
in that short time there was great
suffering; and even greater was the
fear, for New York city could not
live many days without the food sup
plies that are pouring in over the rail
roads day and night. The collapse of
the railroads of the United States
would mean the starvation of millions
1t would be greater calamity than
any war ever reported. More destruc-
tive than many earthquakes.
