Developments regarding the peace banquet furnish some side Informa tion as to the political situation and are interesting for the reason the af fair seems to have revealed a very decided breach between the colonel and his successor. The presence of the colonel at the banquet is very much desired. It is to be in the nature of a booster ban quet for Taft since International peace is his trump card, such as it may be. The friends of the president would like to have the colonel attend. His friendship would be a big asset dur ing the coming campaign. Eut Roosevelt's course indicates he does not want to attend and that he has two distinct reasons why he will not do so. The first reason Is that hf does not favor the abritration treaties that the president has been working up. The colonel likes peace and favors International peace. But he is not of the sort to favor peace at any price. He would have peace when It can be had with credit and with honor and when it cannot be had up on such a basis he will take a chance with war. The colonel has expressed "objec tion to the Taft treaties for the rea son they provide for submitting ques tions of honor to an international court. He would have this country decide its questions of honor for it self. There is too much of the sol dier and fighter about Roosevelt for him to stand for arbitration under all circumstances. It is probable he would not want any European tribu nal to say as to whether or not this country' must admit orientals to the Pacific coast and prescribe for us the basis upon which we must admit such people. That is a question for Am riea to decide and to decide as ihl country alone sees fit. But when the colon- first refused tr. attend the banquet his declination was not accepted. He was informed the program would be changed for hit benefit and that the pending treaties would not be discusser, Th,ey t eUlently wanted him there pretty badly and it M-ems clear they want el him there for the benefit of Taft who is to be in attendance as the hero -t the hour. Hut .ti!l the colonel refused to go. He says emphatically that he will not b( there, no matter what they do or words to that effect. From this it seems the natural Inference tht the color.el not only refuses to endorse the pending arbitration treaties but that he no longer endorses the man who is promoting those treaties. What ever he may do during the coming campaign It seenw quite evident he will not be in the Taft band wagon. Perhaps his refusal to attend the ban quet was his way of saying "never again." The first white men passed through this section one hundred years ago and' Bakerites are now celebrating the anniversary of their visit in that vi cinity. But the people of Baker have no reason for celebrating. The Hunt party did not stay there. They came on to Pendleton and declared our climate to be nice and warm com pared with what they had been up against. Had the members of the Hunt party been wise they would have located here and gotten rich. But they went on to Astoria and . were "taken in." clpal objects of observation, attention will also be paid to the agricultural and industrial development of the country. H li expected that the excursion will leave New York some time in August, 1912 on a special train, and w 11 spend six or seven weeks In tra versing the country. The itinerary, as now planned, is to Inc'ude, anion! other points of interest, the highlands and gorge of the H'jdson, Niagara, the shore-lines of o'.d lakes in Ohio, the southern end of Lake Michigan, with its art ficlal outlet into the Mis s'sslppi system, the upper Mississip pi and the Missouri, the Yellowstone canon and national park, the Rockies of southern Montana the Cascade Range, Seattle, and Puget Sound The return will probably be made by a southern route.

Tardiness is an act of disrespect to the cause for which an hour of meet ing has been appointed, and a serious wrong done to those who are prompt ly on hand and who have to wait fori the laggards. People who make It a principle to be in season lose thereby a great many hours of precious time, and the laggards are chargeable for it It is announced that, the Amer'enn Geological society, which celebrates its jubilee next year, Is planning in connection- therewith a transcontinen tal excursion for the purpose of geo graphical study In which delegates from other countr'es will be invited to participate. The party will be "personally conducted" by Prof. W. M. Davis of Harvard, who has lately had eyperience !n carrying out simi lar undertakings in Europe. It is ex pected, also, that the American mem bers of the party will so far as they are able, act as guides for the foreign v'sltors.
