What Xilled the Peace Treaties.
That the emasculation of tbe arbi
tration treaties la tbe senate baa
practically killed them, so far aa
negotiation of ' tbe present peace
agreementa Is concerned, ie the gen
eral and accepted opinion. Presi
dent Taft announces that be baa not
yet abandoned bis hope of thua for
warding the peace movement, being
convinced that popular sentiment in
favor of abolishing the borrors of
war is far more deep than the sena
tors Toting adversely have realised.
To ns it seems that tHe cause of
International . arbitration baa , ' re
ceived a severe setback from which
It will take time to recover, but tbe
recovery may be expedited byerys-
ItaUixing public opinion and focus
ing tbe demand for settling disputes
between nations by tbe machinery of
peace rather .than by the arbitrament
of war. But we. cannot help regard
ing the failure of t the. arbitration
treaties as chargeable to the play of
personal and partisan politics, which
has entirely overlooked 'the Intrinsic
merits. -. . .'.-'.
.The opposition 'of tbe democrat
can be explained only by their tear
that President: Taft might have an
added prestige, thfdugh'. his leading
part in initiating a great -world
achievement. Yet the obstacles set
p by the democrats- would have
been unavailing were not the influ
ence of Colonel Roosevelt, -and those
attached to bis political fortunes,
likewise thrown against the) treaties.
Notwithstanding the fact that as
president be bad won universal ap
plause by forcing cessation of hos
tilities between Russia and Japan,
and bad been rewarded for tbia act
with i the Nobel peace prise, Colonel
Roosevelt did more than any other
onvman to block the arbitration
treaties negotiated by President
Tart, and to justify the deadly
amendments ot their enemies In tbe
sedate. Tbe horde of special inter
eels that feed and grow rich on war,
that build battleships., manufacture
armor plate, sell gunpowder, equip
armies, erect fortifications and ra
dicate war loans could not have had
more timely and effective reinforce
ment than they received from
Colonel Roosevelt, although doubt

tion! ' " ' '

It must be a matter ot great relief
and satisfaction to summer tourists

going straight to either one they
wish to visit without the sld and ex
pense of a guide.
That peiesdenttal primary in Kaa

have been eome stuffing of the straw

It Is really comical .for Colonel
Roosevelt' campaign manager to

to resign are current; they, may bo
utterly false, but they are current,

effect. In tbe meantime, whatever

Far be it that British pride or seal

apparent warmth on tha part of the
Norwegian, that he was the first ot
the five explorer to reach th Bouth
Pole and that he doea not know
whether hla friend. Scott, reached It
or not. but la certain that, he never
said that he did.
So Amundsea haa given to Nor

Fruits of Dollar Diplomacy.
No greater Injustice has been

particularly those ot our own hem

the shoulder and declares, "Th
promotion ot American commerce la
one of the first dutlea of American
diplomacy." That seem so obvious
a to heed no stating, yet It 1 ex
actly on that point that tbe critics
have attempted to hang their innu
endoes and open fault-finding. The
Stat department of thts country
haa alwaya recognised thla tact and
it I palpably unfair to raise any
question ot th light or propriety
now,
"The achievement ot dollar diplo
macy have been conspicuous In the
acquisition ot American foliar by
th expansion ot American trade,
and In the use, for exsmple, of Amer
ican dollar by assisting to rehabili
tate tbe weaker American republic
and In advancing reform la China,"

$210,090,090 over what it was la
1910. This trade now exceeds, the
high water mark of 1907 by more
than 113,000,009. It' waa more

The Value of Cold Storage.
A 8L Loula dealer declared to a
convention ot egg and poultry men
that "It Is tbe cold storage men who
tniure cheap 'egg Instead of high
priced ones, a some legislator
would have ua believe. Were It not
for the cold storage, eggs would go
to II a doxea In winter, and in some
places would be-absolutely unobtain
able. Of course cold storage booata
th price occasionally la tha summer,
bet If It did not farmer In that sea
son could not get more than t or 3
cent a dotea for their eggs."
No doubt much ot thla I strikingly
true. The cold (torage plant Is, In
deed, a leveler of conditions, aot only
fur eggs, hut many other articles of
produce and, . when properly con
