The McHenry Plalndcalcr1 RO^LHTJ ii!E Published by F. a 3CHREIN1R. McHENRY, ILLINOIS. Life Is getting to be just one hot spell after another. One way to endure the heat Is to think of pleasanter things. A good rule to apply is, the hotter tk« weather the simpler the life. That day on which a new aviation hero does not materialize need not be counted. Until we have an official national flower perhaps the Mayflower will have to do.

"If I had not acted at once in that extraordinary crisis I should have been a mere title, and would have proved an unworthy public officer, if I had not done as I did.

NEW YORK FLYER IN WRECK Engine of Pennsylvania 18-Hour Train Goes Into Ditch--Passengers Es­ cape Serious Injury, Chicago.--While speeding along at seventy miles an hour the Pennsyl­ vania eighteen hour special for New York, was wrecked one mile east of Indiana Harbor. Sixty wealthy pas­ sengers, occupying the Pullman and observation cars were severely bruised and battered. The accident occurred when the en­ gine, tender and baggage car Jumped the tracks. The reason so far has not been explained. The engine rolled down an embankment and overturned. When it left the track the engineer and fireman jumped from the cab, the latter seriously injuring himself. That the accident was not due to any fault of the rails is evidenced by the fact that the passenger cars did not leave the track, although they came to a stop with a jar that threw every one from their seats.

The dinner at the White House was one of the most notable affairs of the kind given in Washington for a long time. It was a "stag" dinner, which in Itself is un­ usual. Vice-President Sherman, Ad­ miral George Dewey, the Japanese am­ bassador, the members of the presi­ dent's cabinet and more than a score of other well-known men attended. Following the dinner a reception was held to which several thousand Invitations had been sent out The reception was not a "stag," and the famous Japanese sea fighter had an opportunity to see American girls dancing in the east room. : ifii Mil UIM& Mow lyngf M RQW - Wliiii Wmk llSlf V' Ml m M .1 .

Arbitration treaties binding the United States and Great Britain aud France, respeotively, were signed at the White House in Washington in the presence of a notable gathering of officials and at the ministry of for­ eign affairs in Paris. Secretary of State Knox signed the two treaties in behalf of the United States. James Bryce, the British am­ bassador, affixed his signature In be­ half of Gr'eat Britain, thus completing the Anglo-American pact, with the ex­ ception of ratification by the senate. The French treaty was signed in duplicate in Paris six hours earlier by J. J. Jusserand, ambassador to the United States. As soon as the copies of the two treaties had been signed President Taft affixed his signature to two measures for transmittal to the senate The general features of the new- treaties are: All differences Internationally justi­ ciable shall be submitted to The Hague, unless by special agreement some other tribunal is created or se­ lected. Differences that either country thinks are not Justicable shall be re­ ferred to a commission of inquiry composed of nationals of the two gov­ ernments, empowered to make recom­ mendations for their settlement Should the commission decide that the dispute should be arbitrated, such decision will be binding. Before arbitration is resorted to, even In cases where both countries agree that the difference is suscep­ tible of arbitration, the commission of inquiry shall investigate the dispute with a view of recommending a settle­ ment without arbitration. The commission, at request of either government, will delay its findings one year to give an opportunity for diplo­ matic settlement. The convention grew directly out of President Taft 's speech In Washing­ ton, December 18 last, before the American Society for the Judicial Set­ tlement of international disputes. E. A.

Russia Plays Part of Mutual Friend- Details of Settlement Yet to Be Worked Out. Berlin.--Peace is in sight in the Moroccan trouble, which for a time threatened to shake the foundations of Europe with a war between its three great powers--England, Ger­ many and France.

It is understood that Russia played the part of a mutual friend and inter­ posed at London and Paris to take the rough edges off the English attitude, the challenging tone of which for a time was more threatening to peace than the actual subject of the negotia­ tions.

TAFT A€KS THAT MORAL INFLU­ ENCE BE USED ON SEN ATOR8. FEARS FOES OF TREATIES President Declares There Is No Dan­ ger to Senate's Constitutional Privileges--Gives Roose­ velt High Praise. Mountain Lake Park, Md.--Fearing that the senate Is being swayed by opponents of the peaco treaties with Great Britain and France, President Taft traveled 400 miles through Maryland and West Virginia by spe­ cial train to make an appeal in their behalf. His appeal was made direct to the Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua of the Methodist Episcopal church, but in it the president included the rest of the nation as well. "I observe," said the president, "that there is some suggestion that by rati­ fying this treaty, the senate may in some way abdicate its function of treaty making. I confess myself to being unable to perceive the logic in any such a point. "To have these treaties not ratified by the senate of the United States or to have any hesitation and discufesion of a serious character in respect to them would halt the movement toward general peace, which has made sub­ stantial advance in the last ten years. To secure the ratification of the treat­ ies therefore, appeal must be made to the moral sense of the nation and while that is not entirely in the keep­ ing of the churches, certainly they may exert a powerful influence in the promotion of any effective instru­ mentality to secure permanent peace." Leaving the arbitration treaties be­ hind, the president asked for the same sort of popular support of the treaties with Honduras and Nioaragua. "There is no Issue before the senate so acute in respect to the cause of peace as the confirmation of these Central American treaties," said the president. "While I admit the greater importance of universal treaties of ar­ bitration, in the long run and as affect­ ing the world large, yet in respect of American interests, in respect of peace in this hemisphere, they are not equal in importance to the con­ firmation of these Central American treaties." In making his plea for the Central American conventions, the president highly praised former President Roosevelt. He spoke of the tendency of the United States to extend their helping hand to less nowerful people, and instanced Mr. Roosevelt 's inter­ vention in Cuba. That tendency was evidenced also, he srid, "by the won­ derfully successful intervention by Theodore Roosevelt as president of the United States in securing peace between Russia and Japan."

One of the papers in the possession of Captain Watson is an affidavit of Miss Clara A. Dyer. She said Petr was stationed at Fort Tottten, N. Y., in the One Hundred and Thirty-fifth company, Coast artillery corps, and that he was an Austrian spy sent to the United States to obtain the secret of manufacturing the powerful ex­ plosive used by the United States government. Miss Dyer asserted she met Petr on an ocean liner en route from Europe last September and later became engaged to nlm. His real name, she said, was Count Windisch- Graetz and his home is at Prague, Bohemia. Sharpe--Wilson says he stayed un­ der water one day last summer for fifteen minutes.

London.--The house of commons was crowded to the doors when Ar­ thur J. Balfour arose to move his vote of censure on the government. Many notables crowded together in the strangers' gallery to hear the words of the opposition leader in his condemnation of the government for securing the king's pledge to create a sufficient number of new peers to pass the veto bill through the house of lords. The visitors saw the house kill the proposal by a vote of 365 to 246, and its defeat is regarded as having failed to improve the Unionist cause. Unexpected. Suddenly the umpire called time.
