Senator Chamberlain Faulty Logic.

Senator Chamberlain's objection 10 renewing the
British arbitration treaty is singuary unfortunate
in its appeal to reason. lie is understood 10 oppose
such renewal unless 1t is directly specified that the
question Of exemption from tolls at Panama-DemO-
cratic euphemism for subsidy TO the coaswise ship
ping trusts not to be submitted 70 arbitration.
Now that question either is or is not one "of
legal nature or relating 10 the Interpretation Of
treaties" which does not affect the vital interests
the independence or the honor Of the United States
If it is such question: why, it is the very sort Of
question which the treaty is intended to cover, and
exclusion Of it would be stultifying or worse II it
is not such question, it would not be arbitrabe I'M
der the treaty. And anyway, the question whether
it is is not properly arbitrable is reserved for
the Senate of the United States to answer when it
is called upon TO approve the making of a special
agreement 10 that end.
Surely the vital interests, the independence and
the honor Of this country ought 10 be safe in the
hands Of the Senate, without tying those hands in
advance by such proposition that Of Mr.. Cham

St Euenne, France. June 1.-THE city

composer, who died in Paris last summer.
The movement Is being supported by
some OF the best known musicians. artists
and statesmen OF the French Republic.
and copies OF the appeal are being sent
out by the French city where Massenet
was born.
The fame Of Massenet, the composer OF
"Alanon." That's "Werther." lie cid. d."
lie RoI de Lahore" "Esclarmonde." etc.
Is world wide. but. nevertheless, the MEM
beers OF the Massenet monument commit
tee decided TO approach first those who
lived with the composer in his native city.
The committee says:
I'VE appeal TO the inhabitants OF ST.
Etienne, to the people OF the Department
Of Forez. 10 all Frenchmen who are
proud Of having been compatriots OF
Massenet and, finally. 20 all men and
women who have vibrated TO the sounds
OF the divine music Of the author OF

Our National Hall OF Horrors.

Our national capital is big spot, worthy Of the
nation In all essentials it hits the Imagination and
makes visitor take of his hat. whether he comes
to scott or to pray. Also the details Of the picture
are constantly improving There is one feature left
from a stupid past, however, which shows no sign
Of budging and which does more to mar the Capitol
building itself than any other feature. We mean, Of
course that assembly Of great composing Statu-
airy Hall-once the chamber Of the House Of Rep
resentatives
The labor Of completing this mausoleum Of ueli-
ness goes forward steadily. Michigan has just sent
the etigy Of Zachariah Chandler as one Of her two
representatives. II the work is ever completed the
room will be chock-a-bock with statues. The swear
ing between frock-coated statesmen Of heroic di-
mansions and more modest od-fashioned gentlemen
in knee breeches will grow worse and worse.
Why not form this conglomerate collection in col
umn Of fours and march them out TO o. remote spot,
there 10 be massacred according 70 their deserts by
commission Of artists? Is it too much 10 hope that
our sovereign states will some day thus concede the
fallibility Of their artistic taste?

A Young Lady and Her September Bath.

It's a raw world for that charming young creature
who waded into NJ Paul Chabas's picture and there
paused for thought She was doing very nicely At
first The water was a trihe nppy and that hrst
plunge always takes a mite of courage. But no one
was paving any attention to her and she could take
her time
Then. alas. Mr. Anthony Comstock spotted her with
his alI-seeing eye Everybody else who had hap
pened TO glance her way-hanging in picture store
window-had hardly given her a second thought.
Possibly some sympathetic passerby had said TO him
self: What chilly little girl" But that was all
Mr.. Comstocks pure mind changed that with ven
geance. II don't care whether she's chilly or not,
she's naked" he declared Solemnly. "Shes-a cor
rupter Of youth Away with her"
OF course then. everybody hocked TO see her at
once The art stores filed their windows with her.
The newspapers published her. From being shy,
innocent little child that nobody noticed she became
shameless husSy in the market place. Now. In
the fitness of time. even the United States customs
authorities have become excited. Shall she be adj
mitted or shall she not? The whole Treasury De-
partment is looking at her and debating the ques-
ton.
Ii is time-wOrn adage that ITO the pure all things
are impure" The history Of september Morn
suggests an addition to this truth The pure not only
can discover impurity in everything, but they can
make everything impure for everybody else-really
an astounding achievement. is it nott

State Department Reform Needed.

There is cause for serious thought in the an

PEELED by press of official business TO cancel several

is scandalous that 1t should be Mr. Bryan is
wanted at school commencements. at the summer
Chautauquas which are about to begin and on the

those transcendent duties for the petty routine Of

More Rate Case Decisions.

The principles announced In the Minnesota case
were applied yesterday in the many additional rail
road rate cases decided by the Supreme Court In
all Of these the present power Of state TO control
rates on intrastate business conceded subject
to the universal rule that such rates must not be
confscatory in effect In several instances where
the court admitted the states right to regulate it
condemned the particular form which regulation had
taken appropriation Of property without due
process Of law In other instances it held that
the representations made by the railroads too
vague TO sustain a complaint Of confscatiOn.
Although the states have been sustained at many
points in their attempts TO regulate intrastae
merce, their victory has been an illusory They
have really won by default. according to Justice
IIughess rulings since the shadow Of power which
they now enjoy may be taken from them any time
Congress 10 step in and provide that intrastate
rates be considered jointly with interstate rates in
settling the problems Of federal regulation Judge

End Seat Hogs" in the Parks.

One hundred and eleven persons were arrested in
Prospect Park on Sunday for wilfu violation Of the
rules against scattering rubbish and playing base
ball. Too many Of those who make use Of the
parks abuse the city's hospitality As guests they
do what they would be the first to demonstrate
against if done by guests Of their own.
Those who throw banana skins, sausage Feelings
and odd bits of sandwiches on the walks and lawns
do not treat the city in the spirit in which it treats
them. They do not pay for their own enjoyment
by helping the city to give equal enjoyment TO
others. They do not see that they are themselves
partners in the enterprise and that the better
condition the parks kept in the larger dividends
they will themselves draw in the way Of future
enjoyment
Every one Of these foolish offenders deserved the
sentence he got Of SO or ten days Moreover every
one ought TO have been obliged TO read aloud in the
courtroom Mayor Gaynor's famous letter on lend
