the debate in the Senate over the bill
creating a commerce court and re-

[ do not hesitate to state my own
opinion that Section 7 as it was pro-
posed to be amended by the Senator
from South Dakota and by the min
ority of the committee, would hav
given to the American people ra
tlonai and coherent system of rat
control. The senate in what appear

relating to traffic agreements, wiped
it all out, obviously for the purpose

one OF the greatest seniors whoever

bad for the industries of this section.
There are several thousand of mill

Exit 'Ihe Peoples Friend" "
LEGAKES BROS, PROPRIETOR

Boston Advertiser: The revolution
in Peru, eliminating in the downfall
Of President Billinghurst, seems tc
have come as surprise to most Of
the outside world, but it has been ex-
pected III Peru for several months
Billinghurst is really the victim of his
own unwisdom, and the revolution was
brought about by his own folly. 1t is
plain, from the outcome, that Latin
American people are not as 'progres-
sive" as their brothers in Northern
America. Mexico was not "progres-
siye" enough to tolerate Madero, and
Peru has thrown out Billinghurst.
The Latin Americans object to too
rapid progress in socialism, or even
in individual liberty. They do ret want
that rapid achievement which is the
ideal Of the excited Anglo-Saxon, who
wants to reform everything in hur-
ry. Spanish America objects to being
hurried even in reform.
One trouble with Billinghurst has
been that he is essentially an Eng
lishman, rather than a Peruvian. His
father was an ERglishman and he has
shown racial characteristics ever sinca
lis entrance into Peruvian politics. He
was full of pride over his devotion to
the cause of the downtrodden wage
Garner. He wanted labor to earn more
than it usually earns anywhere in
Peru. Indeed, the average citizen OF
Peru found that Billinghurst wanted
labor to earn so much that the indus
tries of Peru began to suffer seriously
in consequence. They found their la
Dor cost of production so large that
there was no market for their product
at the new prices. So the leading
men of Peru became "reactionaries.
They refused to raise wages any fur
thcr. Then the ungrateful workmen
out of employment as the result of
widespread strikes, turned on Billing
hurst as the author of their misfor-
tunes, and the quondam president was
fortunate to escape with his life.
The recent outbreak is instructive
in teaching that, in South America, a
least, there can be too much of {
good thing. Reform is a good thing
without any question. But it appears
that. in time, the citizens of natiol
ray come to the conclusion that too
much reform is almost as bad as to
little. Possibly this feeling may no
BE confined wholly to Spanish Ameri
ca. There are plenty of indication
that even in Massachusetts there is

Hope in Radium Checked

Philadelphia Press: The large
number of cancer cases in this city
doubtless furnish the key to the pro.
found interest manifested in every
fresh endeavor to control the calami-
tous affliction which through the ages
has baffled medical science. The mys-
terious potency of radium for brief
period awakened the hope that at last
a specific for cancer had been found.
Much may yet be done with radiun
in connection with cancer, but the
demonstration of its efficacy is yet in
complete.
Current news in the press from day
to day concerning the progress of
cases in which the radium treatment
has been applied for the cure of can
Ger will go far to check the hope that
the remedy can become Immediately
efficacious. Congressman Robert Gum
Bremmer's case has attracted especial
attention, as the specialists considered
it hopeless before the radium treat
ment began. Though radium reduced
the dimensions of the infected growth,
it could not save his life and the radio.
active treatment has been discontinued
to relieve the patients sufferings and
prolong his life.
In the case of Bishop .Quay's
daughter, success incuring the cancer
is reported, but the resultant effects,
according to the attending physician
in Chicago, have brought her near
death. In Philadelphia last week a
patient undergoing the radium treat
ment with apparent success died of
operative pneumonia. These exam
Piles give point to the warning enun-
ciated by DR.. Edward Reynolds, a
vice president of the American society
for the Control of Cancer, at a public
educational meetings under the aus
pices of the society in Pittsburg on
Tuesday night. He cautioned, as other
representative physicians have done,
against blind faith in the curative
properties of radium in cancer.
Beyond question, as DR.. William H.
Campbd,f dfS Pittsburg testified before
a congressional committee last week,
the use of radium in the treatment of
cancer is yet in an experimental stage.
These recent cases of failure may be
explained by his theory that the ra-
dium in causing the disintegration of
the infected tissues creates a sub
stance that is absorbed into the blood
and kills the patients. But the medi-
cal profession will continue the pa
tient investigation Of what, after all
deductions are made, appears to be the
most hopeful treatment for this ter
rible scourge of humanity that has yet
been discovered.

BULLETIN.
Washington. - Without single
amendment, the arbitration treaties
with Spain, Great Britain, Norway,
Sweden. Japan, Portugal, Switzerland
and Italy were ratified by the senate
Washington. Feb. 23.-By defeating
amendments to general arbitration
treaties pending renewal with Great
Britain, Japan and six other nations,
the senate took the first decisive step
in the policy OF the administration to
lift the United States from what of.
cials have characterized as it's "iso.
lated position" in foreign relations.
The test Of strength in the treaty
controversy came on an amendment to
the Spanish treaty urged by Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, which would
withhold from arbitration such impor-
tant international issues as immigra.
ton, the question of admitting aliens
to domestic schools, affairs involving

sions of the Panama canal act exempt.
ing American csastwise shipping from
tolls. This amendment was rejected
by a vote of IL to 40, more than two
thirds majority.
This result was regarded by admin.
istration leaders as marking the end
OF the controversy over the govern.
ment's foreign policy and assuring the
ratification Of the treaties which ex-
PRED more than year ago with Great
Britain, Japan, Norway, Spain, Italy,
Sweden, Portugal and Switzerland.
After the vote had been taken it was
agreed that none of the treaties should
be put upon their ratification yester-
day. but that amendments should be
discussed as applied to all Of them, dis
position of the treaties to be deferred
until today
Last night, after the second day. Of
protracted executive session It was an.
no;nced that no further amendments
would be pressed and that none had
been adopted.
