President Taft on War.
While the Taft peace agreement
proposed to England, France and
Germany eliminate questions of na
tional honor or integrity as matters
of arbitration, the president In his
Marlon, O., speech took occasion to
reply to the contention that such sub
jects could never become arbitrable. He
clearly defined his position to be that
nstions should be able to 'arbitrate
even matters of so delicate a nature.
It will doubtless be received as of
great interest, this bold assertion of
the president, since It Is bis Illus
trious predecessor who takes sharpest
exception to the suggestion. 1
President Taft did well, we believe,
to say that, while he has great faith
In the results of the present movement
for world peace, he Is not enthusiastic
or optimistic enough to believe that
any or all the treaties recently pro
mulgated would effect complete aboli
tion of war or Immediate disarma
ment. When he and others wfro are
actually leading in the movement for
world peace take such sane around.
certainly those who follow can af
ford to.
That there may be such s thins: aa
righteous war the history of our own
country attests. Trne, the issues fought
out in the revolution and in the civil
war will never come np for settlement
by us again, but we lack the prescience
to say that other issues may not arise
that would Justify war on this conti
nent. No man would undertake to say
It would have been more righteous for
the colonists to hare submitted to
British tyranny than to have revolted
and most men, taking Lincoln's View
of It, npw believe that only by the
arbitrament of arms could the ques
tion of human slavery and secession be
rightly settled.
It is natural that the president In
Fourth of July speeches should turn
to the wars that made and preserved
the union and Jt does no harm to have
It brought thus before us once or twice
a year for new lessons of wisdom and
new inspiration In the cause of peace.
,-Crisii in British Parliament
The fight to overthrow the British
House of. Lords by destroying its
ancient veto power is being brought
steadily to a head. Thla time it is
the unionist forces that are taking
the lead. They have expressed the
determination of forcing the ministry
to show Its hand, whether it proposes
to call on the king to create enough
new peers to pass the bill or not-
Premier Asquith, however. Is keeping
his own counsel rather well.
. Even the lories now know that they
are fighting a losing battle. Their
Issue haa been before the people and
the people hare shown unmistakably
their opposition to the lords. It is
only a matter of time, therefore, until
the traditional power of the peers will
be no more. If finally appealed to.
the king, of course, since the voice of
the people has spoken, would scarcely
deny the ministry's petition. But the
unionists are displaying a fine SDlrit
of fight In taking the ground of
forcing the government to act.
The futility of the lords fight mar
be seen In the appeals of their news
paper organs for them to accept the
bill aa It Is, even though admitting it
meana enlarged powers for the com
mons and removes one great obstacle
to home rule. The sltuaUon Is not
unlike that confronting the budget,
when. In spite of friendly advice, the
lords persistently fought the budget
ana lost, inviting the fatal reaction
that followed. So in this case their
own press takes the plausible position
that harm, rather than good, will come
of staving off this Inevitable.
Warmer Winters, Too.
Major R. A. Marriott ot London
should have no trouble in disposing
of his little pamphlet on "Why We
May Expect Warmer Winters" if the
weather abroad la anything like on
this side of the ocean Just now. It
ahould be a most timely bit of litera
ture: It is Interesting to note the
author's chief reason for believing
the winters will become more 'mod
erate. ' He quotes, Captain Scott as
saying, op hla last return from the
arctic regions,' that the south polar
Ice Is retreating and that similar con
ditions obtain in the entire arctic cir
cle. This, he says, will have a reflex
action further south, affecting the
winters in the temperate sone. Ice
land, according to Major Marriott's
informant, belles its name,', for in
December of last year it had, no snow
and scarcely any ice.
The diminishing obliquity of the
earth's axis In the cause of the' phe
nomenon, the writer says.
The general proposition is no dif
ferent than has been urged for many
years In this countrjf that winters
steadily would become more mild.
Another theory Is and this, was held
by . scientists in New England fifty
years ago that gradually the winters
in the northern states would become
milder and those in the southern states
more rigorous. To a degree, this was
the case last winter and the winter
before. At any rate, It is easy enough
to find many "oldest Inhabitants"
any winter who will stroke their'
beards and tell you that present-day
winters are nothing like they used to
have. Most people will regard these
predicted changes with complacency,
though it would not tend to popular
ise any of these prophets to come out
now with a theory to show that our
summers were becoming warmer.

Some Pertinent Questions.
A Sunday saloon brawl in South
Omaha with fatal termination sug
gests seversl questions.
How come saloons to be .open on
Sunday In our neighboring burg not
thla Sunday, or last Sunday, but every
Sunday?
What has become of the Anti-Saloon
league sleuths who made tbemselres
so busy checking np violations of the
liquor law in Omaha while shutting
their eyes to more flagrant violations
in South Omaha?
What about that man of brass who
made nightly expeditions out of South
Omaha to do his slumming and spying
in Omaha for fear he might see some
thing at home?.
Are the Anti-Saloon league sleuths
organized to secure enforcement ot
liquor laws Impartially, or only to dis
cover violations in Omaha In order tJ
"get" Chief of Police Donahue?
Meriti of Voting: Machines,
Chicago Is wrestling with the ques
tion of Installing voting machines and
in the interval playing battledore and
shuttlecock with arguments pro and
con for which Omaha's experience
leaves no room for guess work.
The mechanical recording of votes,
that Is what the voting machine does.
Is a distinct improvement over the
paper ballot in Just this one respect,
that it gives an instantaneous and ac
curate count the moment the polls are
closed, i As to cost of conducting aa
election there Is little, If any, differ
ence. The machine is not proof
against fraud, or repeating, or colo
nizing any more than is the ballot
the honesty of an election sifts down
to the honesty of the election officers
and of the voters.
The voting machine directly Influ
ences the election by practically forc
ing straight party tickets, because the
effort required for and the confusion
consequent on attempts to scratch
make the party Jever the easy way out.
There might be a great deal, said in
favor of the. voting machine, without
the party lever, providing only a few
elective offices were to be filled, hut
the chances are that such a machine
offering the present multiplicity of
candidates to choose from would be
like going from frying pan into fire.
On the other hand, the short ballot
and the voting machine together might
be a real step toward election reform.
President Taffa Interference with
legislative prerogatives in putting on
executive pressure for his reciprocity
agreement is denounced by opponents
of reciprocity almost as strongly as his
non-interference In the making of the
tariff bill was denounced by the same
gentlemen two years ago. Executive
interference with legislative functions
Is always indefensible unless it Is ex
erted for what wj ourselves want
-
Young Mr. Shotwell's public de
liverances down In Washington seem
to disturb and distress our dsmo-
cratio friends hugely. They evidently
fear that Mr. Taft may eventually win
all the progressive republicans to his
support as the most available repub
lican candidate for 191z and If that
should happen the sudden fall in the
democratic thermometer might break
the tube.
Not a word from our amiable dem
ocratic contemporary about throwing
$50,000 worth of voting machines,
bought with taxpayers' money, into
the Junk heap at the recent special
election. Oh, what a difference a
short time makes.
Evelyn Arthur See, a male In spite
of his name, the head of the "Abso
lute Life" cult, says the eyes of the
world are dimmed with wrong think
ing. So the world does, then, think
with its eyes? It often seems so.
No one would think of questioning
the regularity of that raffle wherein
the Kansas man' own daughter won
the house and lot he sold that way for
$6,000 not In Kansas.
A Philadeljhla man sought to es
cape arrest by Jumping out of a win
dow, but under the law of gravitation
was foiled In his attempt when he
reached the ground.
Those upper Missouri river citizens
who are looking for an excuse for not
boosting navigation might find one In
the fact that two boats collided down
near New Orleans.
It must be that some of those muck
raking magazlnea Uncle Sam la after
failed to clean off their rakea thor
oughly and were thus detected.
