Why TOads Should Be Kept in the Civ Home

~ UR native birds do not frequent the city
as they do the rural sections, and
when the many insect pests that feed
upon vegetation get a start in the city flower
or vegetable garden, they must be killed by
the use of poisonous sprays, or devoured by
toads, or they will completely devour the
plant life of tne home, even if it is only a
small flower garden in the back yard or a
bed on the lawn.
Poisons are dangerous, no matter how
carefully used, and the safer plan is to keep
toads and protect them. These creatures
are not very attractive. but they are very
valuable, and anything of real value these
days becomes more or less attractive in most
of our eyes.
Toads devour more insects in a given
period than most birds.
Insects work on vegetation more under
cover OF darkness than in daytime, and the
toads know this, and 80 forth at night and

SENATE HOLDS UP
BR|TA|N'S TREATY
RATIFICATION OF RENEWAL
PROVIDING FOR ARBITRATION
is oBJECrED TO.

WASHINGTON, June What
Great Britain is likely to regard as an
anront was delivered in the senate this
afternoon, when ratification OF the re-
newed arbitration treaty with that
government was prevented after
identical treaties with two other coun-
tries had been ratified without any
objection being raised.
The senator responsible for the sue
cessful blocking OF the attempt TO
ratify the treaty, Senator Chamber
lain. OF Oregon, said frankly he based
his opposition on the fact that ratif1-
cation of the treaty would ohl1gate
the United States to arbitrate the
Panama canal tolls controversy with
Great Britain. Failing to move him
by argument the senate sought to
avoid the appearance Of giving aHront
to Great Britain by resembling the
ratification which had already been
accorded to exactly similar arbitra-
ton treaties with Spain and Italy. The
fact that only few months ago the
senate ratified without any objection
q renewed limited arbitration with
France. however, pu-s the senate on
record as making an exception to the
disadvantage of the particular coun-
try with which the United states Is
engaged in q dispute for which arbi-
tration already has been asked. The
British treaty in question expired by
limitation yesterday. The two gov
ernments agreed last week to its re-
newai for another period of Ave years.
and today the senate committee on
foreign relations brought in report
recommending the ratification OF the
renewed treaty. In executive session,
when a vote on the treaty was pro-
posed. Senator Chamberlain objected.
While many senators tonight ex-
pressed the opinion that the treaty
will eventually be ratified, there Is
good reason to believe that ratifca-
ton may be held up for some time.
Senator Chamberlain has already
introduced a resolution providing for
the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer
and Hay Paunceforte treaties. upon
which Great Britain bases her pro-
test against exemption of American
vessels from payment of canal tolls.
The action of Senator Chamberlain
today and the consequences likely to
grow out Of his action. will undoubt-
eddy prove embarrassing to President
Wilson and his secretary of state, Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan with the presi-
dents consent. has been clamoring
for peace. and arbitration treaties.
AS a matter of fact, Senator Cham
berlain's move in opposition to ratifi-
cation of the British arbitration treaty
was not only unnecessary, but could
never be effectual in preventing arbi-
tration. The treaty provides express
ly that the special agreement required
for the arbitration of any dispute
shall be ratified by the senate. The
senate could hold up. any proposed
arbitration under the British treaty

were not to It's liking

What settlement there can be has
been made even more difficult to sur

day that the administration is not con-

demand is for the notification of the
California statute which 1t insists must
be brought about by the federal gov
eminent. the position of President
Wilson and his advisers is rendered
even more difficult.
Unless the Toxic government re-

that some progress will be made to-

yesterday.
John Bassett Moore, who was
largely responsible for the FIRST note
