Too Much Talking Already

We do not believe with 'erreconcilables' the further discussion of the treaty the floor of the will strengthen their position fore the country. On the other hand hardly think that the country will approve the threat of Senator Hitchcock to throw the treaty the floor to be debated further. Whatever the people may think of the treaty they heartily tired ralkee, talkee which has it's deliberaton and the side responsible for further talking all certainly incur the greater popular resent ment.
 Nothing be added what has already been said. And if could think some thing original and even convincing against treaty, it is very doubtful he could get an audience outside his colleagues the victims in the gallery.
 There is nothing added in extenuaton. if proposes take, suppose every senator time, what he proposes to take.
 The floor, of course must be the last receptacle the treaty compromise shall fail cided there by votes. undelayed by words. If the treaty fail there it the people will become the unwilling and we believe impatient ap- pellae court If the treaty ratified with Lodge reservations intact and the president then pigeon holes it he has threatened again people may be called to say what should been done.
 It is sincerely to be regretted that impasse has been reached it appears have been reached and have doubt that whichever side is re- sponsble for it will cause and occasion to regret it.

 It is believed that board of supervisors and the city commissioners to such a way of meeting the needs the city and county though either both bodies would perhaps hesitate to take the initiative unless they quite there strong sentiment behind the movement The agitation in favor should be kept up and spread throughout the county then. we are sure the supervisors will for county as the com missioners will for the city.
 In all previous movements relating to this sub iect though in the only vote ever had on it. there was decisive majority for it, some manifestation of jealousy of a joint administration building. We think there will be little of that Phoenix has since grown too big and has spread in every that no sec- tion needs the pulling power of a public building There was a time in this as there is every other town when a city hall a house was de- sirable neighbor of a merchant. It brought people into the vicinity of his advantage and to the disadvantage of stores more remote from it.
 But all this been changed. People have ceased going to stores just because they close proximity to the city hall the court house. but they go to them because they a business sec ton surrounded by other and places of busi- ness, among which it may be supposed there is a keenness of competition rivalry in the matter of offering a superior quality goods.

 The question of the disposition the court house and city hall piazas is another that complicated previous movements but should not become in this one. Whatever may. be done with those blocks, the need of place transaction of the citys business and countys business, is the less urgent and is becoming more intoler- able every day.
