The Case of Colombia

There is an absence of good nature
in the discussion of the proposed Col
ombian treaty, and Secretary Bryan
has explained to the Senate Committee
that the apology toColombia is a legacy
of the Taft administration. and he has
the proposed treaty drafted at the time
Mr.. Taft was President. in support of
this claim. The Republicans and Pro-
Eressives in Congress appear to be
united IN opposition to rstifyIng TIE
treaty on the ground that it is repudi.
lol of a former administration. and
although the Republicans are not u
nanim3us IN supporting the latter day
policies of Colonel Roosevelt, stl
when it comes to important matter Ike
this concerning the period of his ad.
mnstration IS a Republican President
when be had the backing of the Re
publican party, there is defiuate pur-
pose in veiw. because the Roosevelt
program IN reference to Remembering
Colombia was upheld by the Republican
organization. The strain of relations
between the Admintratlon and Colonel
Roosevelt, has become very great. ,tr.
BRYAN does not mince matters IN his
desire to repudiate the former Roose
velt Administration THIS has brought
protest from the Colonel to the effect
that that the world laughs at the
foreign policy of the United States.
The Republicans and Progressives seem
TO be tar apart upon some things. but
they are backing TEDDY in this op-
position to the proposed apology and
indemnity to Colombia.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON, D. c.
The Bourne Road Plan

It appears that the Bourne road plan
which at first was regarded with some
derlsion, has taken strong grip upon
Congress. and with a view to provid-
ing a measure for federal aid in the
construction Of good roads it may be
presented to the aw-makina body as a
basis for working ont q scheme that
will be entirely national in its scope.
The good roads pork barrel is not at
all popular and the Bourne plan seems
to furnish the only consistent method
that has been submitted for national
road making.
The Bourne plan IS in bnef that
States may issue their bonds to pay for
road construction, and the Federal
Government will. under proper condi-
tions and guarantees, take these bonds,
and in turn sell its own bonds in like
amount, thu getting the benefit Of the
lower rate Of interest that Federal Sc
curities command. The money thus
raised would be turned over for ex-
penditure in the State. under close
Federal supervision. 1t IS calculated
that on a b lhon-u liar issue the Nat
ional Government could probably get
money at 21s per cent. while the in.
dividual States would have to pay at
least per cent.
The National Government Treasurer
would retain the States bonds and the
State would nay probaly. per cent to
the cation. This four per cent would
be used, first to meet the regular in
terest charge and second. after that
charge had been met, to amortise the
princlpal OF the bonds. This is the
plan so widely employed in the Old
World in handling farm loans and
many other financial operations. 1t is
figured that the States per cent would
carry interest charges and also amor
tlse the original debt 10 fifty years.
On the other hand, If the States credit
alone were employed to float the Sc
curitles. the 4 per cent would merely
MAINTAIN the interest charge and CON
tribute nothing toward amortization.

He Doesn't is;nd How He Dresses, and

There is one English author at least
who admits quite frankly that he is
practically dependent on his wife, and
that is big G. *. Chesterton. Like
most geniuses-and G. x. c. is gener-
ally admitted to be one-Chesterton is
too much absorbed in the details of

The figure sharks" have reckoned
that every cItlzen of the Of the United
States eats five and three-tenths bush

rate Is nine and tlve-tenths bushels /;
Belgium. eight and three-tenths Dem
mark. three and five-tenths; Germany,
three, and two. tenths; Russia. two and
seven-tenths Sweden. two an five
tenths. The Mexican and Japs eat less
than half bushel each. Since the per
capita consumption is approximately
$50 pounds for each resident of the
United States, it will be readily seen
that although the guam tv of wheat
when stretched out over period Of
several months is somewhat large,
yet it does not enter seriously into the
matter of the high cost of living. The

item.

An Emharrassinn Moment.

There are moments when a man
would sooner be anywhere than where
he is.
Take the case of the young man who
was talking with an heiress who can
write checks with five figures.
(which do you consider the most
conducive to happiness, Mr.. Giggles-
worth, money or beauty" she asked.
What could he say?
The heiress is as plain as the law
permits heiresses to be.
If the young man said beauty" the
lady would be offended If he said
money" she might consider it a pro-
posal.
Then he rallied.

Chief LOOKS AFTER SHOP
Man Who Was Thought Possibly Sui
eide Is Now Sought for Securing
Money Under False Pretenses-Po
Think Man Sought other Fields.

Some real zest has been put into the
search which the police are making
for Adolph Lowe, the missing Pleasant
street tailor and following closely on
bunch of letters sent out last Friday
asking that search be made for the
man on the grounds that he was de-
mented, the police sent out a letter
this morning which urged " Arrest,
Hold and Wire
Complaint has been made to Judge
Randall and Chief Of Police Hare de-
handing the arrest Of the missing tail
or on charges of securing money under
false pretenses. The man is alleged
to have secured fifty dollars in real
money from Miss Harriet Faber,
clerk employed in a West Main street
bakery. Lowe disappeared on last
Wednesday night and it was learned
that two days before he disappeared
be managed to make loan of fifty
dollars from Miss Faber. Since com
ing TO Kelosna some eight months
ago Lowe had been one of the regular
customers of the restaurant at the Fa-
Der bakery On, last Monday afternoon
he went into the place and asked Miss
Faber to let him have fifty dollars for
a short time. He declared that he had
big consignment of goods at the
Northwestern depot and had not been
able to make collections. He got the
fifty and two days later the story of
his disappearance was made public.
The police made an investigation Sat-
urday afternoon and found that there
had been no shipment at the station
for Lowe and the men in charge of the
railway Office had known nothing of
him. Chief 0 Hare this morning went
out and took charge Of the tailor shop
and he declares that most of the things
found in the place belong to customers
who had left clothing to be pressed and
cleaned. An effort viii be made to
have these delivered to the owners.
But one piece of uncompleted work was
found in the SHOP.
LII buG ulGdHG .Oul0I " mare has

Citizenship Mill in Full OPP
Grafton at Circuit Court
All Day Today.
OVER A HUNDRED PETITIONS

The citizenship mill was working
overtime in the circuit court for Ke-
nosha county today and Judge Belden
sat On the bench from early morning
until late this afternoon hearing petit
tions for second papers and when court
adjourned only half of the large number
of petitions ON file had been heard
Aliens and men who had known them
for three years and over and who were
willing TO swear to their good charac-
ter thronged the court room and the
other rooms of the court all day long
and there never was day in the his
tory of citizen making in Kenosha
county when so much work was crowded
into the hours. There was a total Of
125 petitions on the judges desk when
he opened court this morning. In the
list were many .old timers in the
city and county. Some of them had
taken out first papers as long as thirty
years ago but had never sought their
second papers which brought with them
ell the rights Of citizenship. With a
view Of facilitating as far as possible
1.-The admission Of so large class Of cit
liens the Government Bureau in Chica-
go had sent to Kenosha Fred J. Schlot-
feldt, one of the most careful of the ex-
aminers connected with the immigration
bureau. Examiner Schlotfeldt has been
IN Kenosha before on similar missions
and today he showed his ability to get
all the facts necessary in the shortest
possible time. The government officials
had examined nearly all of the appli-
cants for second papers in previous
weeks and the examinations today were
largely conferred in the witnesses who
appeared for the petitioners. There
was the usual amount of fun connected
with the examination of the petitioners.
Some of them who had been in the cOun-
try for twenty-five years and over had
not as yet learned the difference be-
tween the Constitution and Congress
an there was a lot of them who failed
to know who the governo rof Wisconsin
was. The most of the applicants were
well up in the question of municipal
government and they had line on just
how everything was done in the city. It
was noticeable that few snloon men APP
paared as witnesses for the applicants
for papers.
The naturalization of the aliens will
be continued at the sessions of the court
on Tuesday and it is expected that the
work viii all be completed by late Tues
day afternoon. No cases are set for
trial in court this week.
