PARISL Nov. J. Tha contenta of the
Franco-Qerman accord, officially given
out today, show that Germany recog
nlxea the rltcht of France to establish
a protectorate In Morocco, while both
nations engage to obtain the adhesion
to thia accord of the other signatories
to ths Algeclraa agreement.
France, as compensation for German
recognition of her protectorate in
Morocco, cedes to Germany about Z60.
000 square kilometers In Northern
French Congo, touching the German
Kameruna.
Tha territory ceded la Inhabited by
about 1,000.000 negroes and haa a com

The new German frontier starta at
Monda Bay and extenda to Bangs River,
thence) to Kandoko and thence through
the Congo, finally attaining Lake Tchad
by way of the TJbanga and Leogone

France and Germany agree to submit
to Tha Hague tribunal all difficulties
arising from tha operation of the ac
cord. In reference to Morocco, Franca

BERLI.Y IS NOT OVERJOYED
Kcslrnations Indication of Tfnjx po
larity of Bargain.
BERLIN, Nov. S. In making public
tonight a complete summary of the
treaty concerning Morrocco arranged
by Foreign Secretary Horr von Kidor-
Un-waechter and the xrencn Amoaa-
sador, M. Campon, the foreign office
Issued the following statement:
"The German government believes
that both parties can be In accord over
tha contenta of the new treaty. It will
have a calming effect not only upon
conditions between Germany and
France but also upon the political sit
uation. It la especially emphasised
that England haa not Interfered In the
negotiations."
The text of the treaty win be signed
Monday morning at Berlin and Paris.
With the news ol tne conclusion ot
the controversy comes the announce
ment that Emperor William has ac
cepted the resignation of Dr. von Lln
dMUlst. Secretary of State for the col
onies. This resignation la a siiralflcant
symptom of unpopularity of the bar
gain within as well as outside the gov
ernment. The ueflnttton of France's position
In Morocco occupies thres of ths H ar
ticles of the treaty. The Congo
changes are more limited than were
first expeoted. Germany will get only
from four to seven miles of the Congo
River, sufficient to eetablish a ateam
er trading station.
Revelations of dissensions in the
government on the eve of the Morocco
debate In the Reichstag has greatly
weakened the positions of Chancellor
von Bethman-Hollweg and the For
eign Secretary, Herr von Klderlln
Waachter. The Councillor of the Colonial Office.
Herr von Danekelroann. also resigned
today, supposedly because of dissatis
faction over the German compensation.
COLOGNE. Germany. Nov. I. A die
patch to the Cologne Gaxette from Ber
lin saya the resignation of the Council
lor of the Colonial Office. Herr von
Danrkelmann. accompanying the "In
discretions" of the press, discloses most
unjustifiable conditions. The "indis

Is not willing to accept responsibility
for ths tresty.
Chinese Caught With Opium.
An lnpector in charge of Collector
of Customs Malcora late last night ar
rested a Chinaman at the Union Depot,
efter he had alighted from a Northern
Pacific train from Seattle, on a charge
of smuggling opium. A considerable
quantity of opium waa found on his
person. Including a can of refined
opium and an amount of oruda opium.

business Is a question demanding care
ful study by competent persons.
As a business proposition, I should
prefer to see this all Important prob
lem worked out amicably rather than
that there should be a fight, commer
cially disastrous, against a fair adjust
ment, with a resultant enactment In
spired by prejudice and lacking the co
operation of the commercial and manu
facturing; interests in reaching; final
conclusions.
The leadera of the Democratic and
Republican parties do not want busi
ness hurt, labor thrown out of em
ployment and depression supplanting
prosperity. Any man or set of men big
enough to stand as the leaders in either
party would desire to steer the country
into the greatest possible prosperity.
Any statesman would be gratified to
aolve the problem of restraint of trade,
perpetuate competition and save the
jobs of millions of men by re-establishing
confidence In our Institutions with
out disturbing ths business conditions
of ths country.
Reform Opposed la Vain.
Many of us remember the numerous
dlsaatrous prophecies which were made
when railroad regulation waa first con
sidered. Railroad men talked gloomily
of the effect on the country of undue
interference and Federal regulation,
and, above all, of Governmental exer
ciee of the rate-making power. They
worked themselves up to a pitch where
they believed their own prophecies of
ruin. They fought the proposed re
form bitterly, but to no avail, getting
laws more regulative than would have
been enacted had they helped to frame
an act that would have met the require-
menu of the public.
At that time thoae requirements
merelv contemplated a cessation of the
reprehensible practice of rebating and
favorltlam.

Is no reason why the producers should
continue to feed and clothe us and re

Nor, on the other hand, should the con
sumer pay double that which the pro
ducer receives. ,
Raral Vote Decisive.
The heads of our great banking
houses, of our railroads and our manu
facturing Institutions, must know that
0 per cent of our Congressmen are
elected by the rural vote, and that
the election of the President also Is
determined by this vote. Yet they do
little to prevent political emissaries
from working up a public sentiment,
and thereby Influencing the laws of
the country.
They have not learned that not only
the basio principle of all our wealth
but the basio principle of our political
policy also Is shaped by the 10.000.000
occupants of the .000.000 farms. Nor
do the so-called big business men ap
preciate that the business- organiza
tion of the farmers carries, with it
political organisation.
It la up to the business Interests to
eay whether they will stand aloof and
permit the political policy of the
Nation to be ahaped by politicians and
based upon prejudice rather than upon
business principles fair to all.
Policy Moat Benefit Farmers.
Thia cannot be accomplished until
the great poyer of thia country which
lies with the farmers Is directed Into
the channels of commerce beneficial to
organizing to get the greatest re
turns for their products the farmers
are merely doing what all other trade
combinations have done to increase
their profits. They are adopting the
methods of the steel, tobacco, sugar
and other trade organizations because
those methods enable them to get more
money for their output through the
reduction of the cost of distribution.
Co-operation of effort Is Just aa es
sential as concentration of energies.
One Sunday Issue the Tribune uses
more material and requires the serv
