Togo, at a dinner at the white house

WASHINGTON, Aug. t. The sen
ate today adopted the rather unusual
but not unprecedented course of mak
ing public the text of four treaties
which have not yet received action
at Its hands. These were the Ahflo-
Amerlcan and the Kranco-Amarican
general arbitration treaties ana the
treaties, providing .for tha adjustment

Full Publicity
Publicity was given to these Im
portant conventions at the request of
the administration, which desires that
the subject- matter shall receive- full
publicity In order to enlighten the
senate as to the real senttlment of the
country as a basis for Its action. Some
justification for this procedure deve
open today when in the course ef a
short executive session, two senators
of opposite parties with Borah pf
Idaho and, Bacon .of Georgia, voiced
their .dissent to the arbitration trea
ties in the form submitted. Thelrl
criticism was aimed at artlole 3 (iden
tical in the two treaties) which In
their opinion, provides for compul
sory arbitration and -thus tends to de
prive tha United States senate of Its
constitutional prerogative. The trea
ties' advocates, however, felt that
there had been a misunderstanding
by the two senators as to tha scope-
of the treaty, and that a clause in
article one of the treaties provides

In the ordinary contest the possible

them to win. &
"What are a few prl zee among- so

' teatants that their cause Is lost before

what then?
Which Till Ton Win?
Remember that there are other
: handsome prises that you -can win.
Tou know that you are going to win
' a prise. The only question Is whlvh
shall It be?
Baoh subscription that you ask for
may determine your rank among
t those who will have the pleasure of
' selecting the prise that moet appeals
to them. ' - .
i Ton ean mention this fact to every
one whom you ask for a subscription.
Tell them that you are going to win.
but that you want them to choose
your prise. Show (ham that a few
thousand vote may make a difference
between your winning the 11,17
Chalmers touring; car or one of tha
smaller prises.
Get Your Receipt Books.
There Is no reason why you should
not get subscriptions without a re
ceipt book, but It is much easier to do
so when you have one. You can b
far more methodical and accurate
when you nil in the blanks of these
little books in the simple manner di
rected than when you Just write down
haphazard the names of those who
oblige you.
In the end the subscription Is writ
ten on these little slips, so It is better
to start that way at once and keep a
complete record for yourself, which
will correspond with the record so
carefully and accurately kept In the
Contest Department
Perhaps you think it a trifle stupid
and slow to be methodical, but In tha
end It saves a lot of time and many
votes as well. Think of this ss a busi
ness proposition. You never heard
of a successful business carried on
without method. If you are method
ical you will have less trouble and
more votea.
