RESPECTFULLY REFERRED.

New York Times: In his admirable
speech to his Jewish fellow-citizens on
SUNDAY, President Taft referred with
much feeling to the fate of his genera.
arbitration treaties with Great Britain
and with France. He said:
1 did have a dream that We were
going to take a long step in the mat
ter of peace between nations. l had
a theory that II we could set up q
treaty with England and then another
with France. and orange it SO that
questions of honor that might arise he
tween two nations could be left to a
tribunal, and We could by two sucl,
treaties induce our people to make
treaties with other nations-in this
way forming an interlocking device
among all the nations-we could have
an arbitral court. the authority of
which would be backed UP by the
united force Of all the world.
With reference to h check to the
realization of this "dream"-which
was not really q dream, but a practical
piece Of statesrnanship-Mr. Taft says:
The treaties were SO handled that a
great deal was stricken out that !
thought valuable. Maybe enough was
left to make it worth while to ratify
the treaties. But much that I desired
IN the treaties was eliminated.
Here is a hint for future action 10
which Mr.. Taft's successor may give
attention. 1t is the first admission by
the president that his practical aban-
donment Of the treaties was ill-ad-
vised.
What was stricken out of the treat-
les was the provision that the Joint
high commission of inquiry might re-
port whether a difference was arbitra-
BILE, and if they SO reported. an agree
ment should be sent to the senate
submitting to arbitration. On that
agreement. according to Mr.. Knox, the
secretary Of state. the senate would still
have had discretion to act favorabiy
a.. unfavorably. The senate preferred
commission on the question of arhi-
tral,ility. That was stricken out. What
remained? Very much. There re-
manned the provision that either party
to a dispute might ask a years delay
before final action. There remained
the provision that a joint commission.
three from each side, should inquire
into and report all facts in the dis
rute. Is 1t not plain that these pro.
visions would have been a very grea,
advance owe present conditions? We
believe 1t would have been we'll worth
while" TO ratify the treaties in the
form given to them by the senate.
Since that course has not been follow
ed by Mr.. Taft, We sincerely hope
that the possibility of adopting 1t will.
in due time, very seriously be consid-
cred by MI. Wilson.

moralizing to the recipient. The man

what he gets. should not get It.

Aldrich had not been attached to the
proposed banking reform plan It would
have been adopted long ago. But a
good many people thought that any.
thing that Aldrich approved should
be opposed on general principles. and
the plan has failed of adoption. The
average man knows as little about
banking as he does about the fourth
dimension. but almost any man on
any street corner is prepared ia ex-
plain why the Aldrich plan is no good.

Possibly the war in the East is not
over yet. The Turks have discharged
the administration which assented ia
peace on the terms offered, and the
new ministry may feel obligated to &c
on with the war, even at the cost OF
more telling defeats than have vet
been sustained. If that course shall
be adopted, there are things more un.
likely than an agreement among the
powers to disposse.s Turkey Of all Its
European territory, and to place Con.
%stantinople and the straits under some
sort Of international guardianship.

years Of debate the question of the

influential advocates. Senator Root

Improvement in one of the most beau

guage. When Gray wrote his famous
"Elegy'' he wrote the first line:

The printer who put the poem in

The poet received the proofs. and
he saw that the change gave a sus.

lacked before. and improved the
rhythm. and accepted the change. to

The discovery Of a new Alaska. if
there is one. may be lightly regarded
at the present time. The present ter.
ritory Of Alaska was looked upon as
a good deal OF a joke when the pur-
of the territory was made from
Russia not many years ago. Alaska
was regarded as uninhsbited and un.
inhabitahle. and its possession by the
United States was assented to. not for
any value that the territory itself was
supposed to have. but because the
purchase would prevent its possession
by any other nation. and would tend
to prevent international complications
which might result from too many Eu-
ropean countries having a foothold on
this continent. Alaska. however, has
richly paid for itself. Its gold mines
are known ar among the most impor.
tant in the world, and 1t has innun,er-
ahle other which we have
yet scarcely begun to appreciate. II
large areas of land should be discov-
cred to the northwest. as some people
believe possible, that land may prove
to he as valuable as Alaska. At any
rate. the exploration Of the seas In that
neighhorhood to ascertain whether
land exists there or not Is worth while.
and a good deal will he added to our
knowledge of that far.on district with.
