The End of a Treaty

The eighty -year-oid commercial treaty with Russia expired with tn" year It js certain that n" other will take its place until Russia disnlisses its mcdiaeyaI prejudice against the Jews unless it disniSses it as to Jewish American citizens who in express violation terms of tue treaty have been denied admission to the Russian Empire.
 The loft! character of of citizens against whom this national prejudice has at one time or another directed so aroused Ancri- can people that years ago there was demand for the ahrogation Of the treaty. II was incompra- hensble that a great nation conld wilf,y fout a race to which such philanthropsts and mon of as noble character the Straus brothers Jacob Schif and hundreds Of others belonged
 The demand the abrog8ttou of the treaty was based upon recent violations Article T.
 There shall be between the territories of the nigh contracting parties reciprocal liberty of commerce navigation The inhabitants "f their respective shall mutually liberty to enter the ports places and rivers of the territories of each party wherever foreign commerce is permitted They shal. u sojour and reside in all parts vhats" of said territories in order 10 attend to their affairs and they shall enjoy. tlat effect the same security and protection aS the natives o' tn. o"un- tries wherein they reside.
 IL was than forty years that it was brought to the attention of ths government that Russia was violating the foregoing article and in lS6S act in the nature of declaration of the rights al American citizens under the treaty with Russia was passed by congress
 Secretary srate after secretary made repre- Sentations the Russian government without result In December of 1911 rhe house passed resolution to terminate treaty 1892 and lew days a'"r was passed 1.>-t the senate.
 Under tho re-outtor. the treaty would terminate at midnight of December 21. 1912 and Russia Was SC notified
 What effect the termination Of the treaty win have upon t1r commercial relations between the countries is sct he seen. But no loss Of trade win harder bean than the humiliation to which this country has been subjected more than forty years.

Why Suffrage Campaigns Fail

(EIls Meredith in National MagaZinel
 The real of failure in suffrage campaigns is the inertia and indifference of the women, and they are indifferent because they don't understand what voting means. The ballot box is hay abstraction fun of Fourth of July pink lemonade surrounded by pyrOtechnics and connected with the reading the Declaration of Independence and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. It is remote and has do with Washington. D. C., and state capitals and it located at the end a rainbow. or the center of the Dismal Swamp known the of Politics. according the views of the voters of the household
 To the generation who have been working the ballot lifetime it is strange that it seems d end, goal If tI~y had not made il that none of would be voting now, but to the younger generation who found the ballot ready to hand when they arrived their majority, it is simply means to end. a of doing things that much need to be done.

There is every probability that the attempt on the part of the government to get enough Der ing lake coal to salt water for a hattleship test will end in a leilure.

DRY SUNDAY AT
 WASHINGTON

The new excise law of the District of Columbia has gone into effect and the reports arc tl,at the national capital for the first time in history is al Coholically day on Sunday. The law prohibits the sale of in tnxicants in saloons, hotels, restaurants or at private clubs.
 Washington has had a Sun day closing law for many years but it has worked little hard. ship on those wanting a drink The hotels have been allowed t. serve drinks with meals ot i.l the rooms to guests. There Is s club of some kind in nearly every block in the heart Or Washington and these club, have been allowed to serve drinks to members. The new law prohibits all this and con tains a provision prohibiting the giving away of drinks or sunday. As yet this provision. las not been enforced in pri- vate homes but many citizens fear that that will be the next s,ep.
 f'he significant feature Of the new law Is the ease witt which it is being enforced. Congress is the town council nf Washington and citizens arc yer; careful not to violate a Federal law. Strict enforce ment of the law will probably prove another reason why Con- gress will hurry up and gel through with the tariff and currency bills and adjourn.
