John Hay on Treaty Ratifying

In a work of recent publication,
"The Education of Henry Adams" is
a passage which has an interesting
bearing upon the situation in the Sen
ate today regarding the treaty of
peace. Mr.. Adams, writing of domestic
conditions and quoting John Hay, then
Secretary of State. says:
"Yet the difficulty abroad was far
less troublesome than the obstacle at
home. The Senate had grown more
and more unmanageable, ever since
the time of Andrew johnson, and this
was less the fault of the Senate than
of the system.
"a treaty of peace, in any normal
state of things said Hay, ought to
be ratified with unanimity in twenty
four hours. They wasted six weeks
in wrangling over this one and ratified
1T with one vote to spare. We have
five or six matters now demanding
settlement. l can settle them all, hon
orably and advantageously to our own
side; and I am assured by leading
men in the Senate that not one of
these treaties, if negotiated, will pass
the Senate. l should have majority
in every case, but malcontent third
would certainly dish every one of
them. To such monstrous shape has
the original mistake of the Constitu-
ton grown in the evolution of our
politics. You must understand, it is
not merely my solution the Senate will
reject. They will reject, for instance,
any treaty, whatever, on any subject,
with England. I doubt if they would
accept any treaty of consequence with
Russia or Germany. The recalcitrant
third would be differently composed,
but it would be on hand"

anywhere near such compensation in
money as their very important services
entitle them to. They deserve at least
twice as much. The same time and
talent devoted to private business
would yield handsomely.
Whether this would be a good time
to raise the salaries of officials of these
grades to figures properly associable
with the value of the duties they per-
form is a question. The sum in the
aggregate would not be large as gov
ernment expenses go. But so much is
afoot now and so insistent is the de-
mand for economy, every item of the
public expense must undergo close
scrutiny and thoroughly justify itself.
But at as early a time as possible
this question should be taken up and
settled. All public officials, from high
est to lowest grades, should be ade-
quately paid. There is neither fair
hSoS Aoi Il uO SNOhOiHN III ihduNiuatS
compensation for work done by men
competent to serve the state.
Now and then one hears it said that
so-and-so Cannot afford office" His
talents and character are praised. and
the opinion is expressed that in Office
he would acquit himself well. But, as
is pointed out, all government salaries
are low and campaign expenses high;
and so this man is practically barred
from field in which, to his own and
the public's advantage, he would cut a
highly creditable figure. Why not
make it possible, and even inviting,
for him to enter, and give the public
the benefit of his superior capacities

High Cost of Campaigning

VIII the high cost of campaigning
affect the plans of men desirous of po-
litical preferment! The question is
becoming pertinent. a new Congress
is to be chosen next year, and a num-
Der of state elections are also on the
card. Already names are mentioned
in connection with honors to be be-
slowed, and in no great while many
candidates. for nominations will be in
full swing.
Campaigning comes high these days.
An enormous fund is confessed neces-
suy by the democratic rational com
mIttee, and this will, of course. be
eatcbad. by the republican committee.
But these funds will BY no means
cover the whole case. Candidates for
nominations, and, later, candidates for
Office, will have to foot many bills
made materially larger by prevailing
prices. Spellbinding, music, hall rent
club service, literature, all will reflect
the fashion.
And yet salaries are 1ow-some o1
them miserably so. Our judges have
long been underpaid. Cabinet officer:

Andrew Carnegie's Will.
Andrew Carnegie displayed the s

Andrew Carnegie displayed the same
spirit of liberality in his will that he
manifested during his life, in making
provision for betterments affecting
large numbers OF people. He wrote
his will on the hypothesis that his i'm
mense fortune was not to be held in
tact for the benefit of his family alone.
Those whom he named as benefciaries
are persons who had won his admira-
tion by their works or their personal
qualities. Some of them are not in
need of the annuities granted. To
others these gifts will be blessings,
enabling them to continue their good
works without the hampering care of
actual provision. Never before has a

ously. Institutions are not marked for
bequests as largely as might have been
expected. Mr.. Carnegie provided for
them in his lifetime and the gifts
made to such objects in the will are
supplementary to others already be-
slowed. Taken altogether this will is
a most remarkable accounting of
stewardship, completing a course of
generous benefaction for the good of
humanity that has no exact parallel
in the history of mankind.

The President and the Tour.

The Presidents journey, it is esti-
| mated, will cover twenty-five days.
That will be quite a spell of travel.
True, travel these times is surrounded
with all the comforts of home. Rail
road coaches are very snugly appoint
ed. Meals are served promptly Still,
there are the constant motion and the
steady hammer, hammer of the wheels
to be considered. A railroad coach,
no matter how snugly appointed, is not
home, and inhabiting one for nearly a
month will tax physical strength.
In this view of the matter it is prob
ably fortunate that the President did
not adhere to his original plan, and
leave on his speaking tour soon after
his return from France. At that time
he must have been somewhat tagged
physically. His six months abroad had
been crowded with many duties and
much hard work, and he had not spared
himself. Even his visits from one
country to another, intended as social
functions, had partaken largely of
business.
But the President is now refreshed,
and in good physical trim. His physi-
elan testifies that he is in as excellent
condition as at any time since enter
ing the White House.
There will be many demands while
the tour lasts. The desire to see and
hear the distinguished tourist is nat
ural and strong. Every community
along his route would give him great
reception.
This probably accounts for the an
nouncement that the President will
make no rear platform speeches, but
save his strength and voice for his
regular appointments, which will be
numerous enough to require conserva-
tion. The decision is well taken.
1t is to be considered, too, that upon
his return to Washington the Presi-
dent will face another period of hard
work. Congress will probably still be
in session, and may remain so, merg-
ing the special with the regular ses-
sion. There is business galore await
ing attention. Reconstruction prob
lens are pressing, and public inter
ests require that the more pressing on
the list be taken up as soon as posi-
BILE.
But even should Congress adjourn,
the President cannot adjourn. He
must remain in session and on the job.
His table will be piled high with bust
ness. Indeed, there seems no room to
doubt that for more than a year-un-
til after next years elections-he will
be exceedingly busy, handling many
different and difficult questions, and
at the same time as leader of his party
giving attention to its fortunes in the
presidential campaign.

A Ninety-DaY Truce.

CONSERVATIVE auNlcc Is gwen I" tiie
railroad shopmen by their national
leaders and by the American Fedora
ton of Labor council which should
have the effect of preventing strike
A truce for ninety days is virtually
declared by these labor leaders to give
the government a chance to demon
strate whether or not it can bring down
the cost of living by the methods al
ready invoked and soon to be provided
by additional legislation.
This course is so much more helpful
and constructive rs to elicit the high
est praise. A strike by any branch
of the railroad workers now would be
one of the greatest industrial disasters
that could befall the country. 1t would
check if not for a time completely
stop the transportation of goods, in
Guiding the crops. 1t would add i'm
mensely to the cost of everything used
by the people. 1t would magnify the
evil of high living cost.
A truce for ninety days is not pro-
tracted. Indeed, it may be too short
plish results. 1t will be remarkable
if within three months the admins
trative agencies can by concerted eff
forts on all lines effect substantial
reduction in prices of more th}n a
temporary nature. But even so short
a truce is infinitely better than an i'm
mediate disturbance of railroad rela-
tions.
Advice is given by W. J. Bryan to
raise wages first, subject to reduction
when the living costs have been de-
creased. This puts the cart before
the horse decidedly. Mr.. Bryan as
sumes that the wages of today are not
equal to the demands entailed upon
the workers by the living costs. This
is not established. He proposes an in
quiry to determine whether there is
balance due the workers on this ac-
count, which, he says, would not oc-
cupy many days. He then proposes a
strictly temporary increase of pay to
make up the diftesence that may be
found.
1t requires no. inquiry now to de-
termine that the cost of necessities
is higher than the people as a whole
are able comfortably to pay. Nor
does it require any probe to develop
that even a temporary increase of
wages affecting large numbers Of work
ers will add heavily to the already
burdensome load the consumers are
carrying. Why add the weight while
seeking its reductions
A three-month truce in wage in
creases will help to steady the situa-
ton. Already there are signs of price
softening. -profteering measures,
the evacuation of congested storage
warehouses, prosecution Si extortion-
ers, the sale of government surplus
stocks are all aiding. Bug there must
be more production, which means that
more men must work, and work hard
er and more effectively, to bring the
worlds supply of necessities up to the
mark of requirement. And to aid in
this process every consumer mux prac-
tice economy, to make the best use of
the goods that are available

To put sufficient coin away

To ride each weary hill.
No more that wabbly speed device
Awakes an envious thrill.
No more it huns to Fashions song,
Disturbing public peace.
