Throughout this valley, and indeed through, out all of Utahs fair" valleys, the various com munitiesare observing Utah V4eautiful tribute ' to the passing generation, and .Uld Folks Day observances are universal. - - Each winter witnesses the Old Folks Day celebration, when the old are transported in the best vehicles to be found, both to and from the place of gathering; where their achievements are recalled, their virtues eulogized, their praises sung; where they are feasted and feted as the guests to whom honor is due ; where for the time being they are lifted from the obscurity of the chimney corner or easy, chair, where they are too often left to brood in solitude and sorrow 'over joys that have departed, loved ones gone before of the living ones whose hearts seem far off,- anc for one day are recognized at their real value i Usually during the winter season, also, the Ole Folks are guests of honor at omoFmoreenter tamments of various kinds, and in the summer are given one glorious outing at which their pleasure -- and comfort areJhe sole considerations.

IIow the separate links in the chain of po litical patronage that bind the party in power to its seat, are formed, has been to some extent shown by Samuel C. Blythe in the Saturday Evening Post, who displays, also, the effect upon the chain as a whole, of the treatment of each separate link. He declares: " ' Just what pa.tronage does a president possess?

No dne who has favored the arbitration treaties pending in the Senate has reason to oppose the resolution drawn up by Senator Lodge providing for their approval by that body.. According to the reports, the resolution embodies precisely the understanding that we have always had concerning the scope and effect of the treaties negotiated-bythadministration, lFactuaUyonfm8--tothe-ie- xt of those treaties ; and it is in strict accord with the views expressed by Secretary Knox in his address before the judicial settlement of g international disputes. Speaking several months ago, 1 to the fact thatunder article of the proposed treaties, alL arbitrable differences must be submitted to arbitration under a special agreement for each, ease, made on the part of the United States by the president, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, Mr. Knox said: Every agreement to arbitrate must go to the senate for its approval. There can be no arbitration without its approval. An agreement to arbitrate goes to the senate for its approval either because the executive branches of the two countries concerned in their difference agree that the difference is one for arbitration or because failing, to so agree, the commission of inquiry report that it is such a difference. . How can the senates power over the agreement be less if it goes to the senate after the commission's report that it presents an arbitrable question than if it had gone there because of the opinion of the executive branches of both governments to the same effect? Mr. Lodges resolution to cmhodies-t- accompanyratification-merel- y he secretary-of.stat- cs own understandings of the working and effect of the treaties, and it follows dhat the approval of the treaties by the senate on such terms would signify theicompIete success of the administrations ' efforts. Springfield Republican. There has all along been a difference of opinion among "the friends of the arbitration treaties as to whether a decision of the joint high commission to the effect that the question at issue was justiciable wouldbe immediately binding on the government of the United States, or whether it would be subject to the approval of the senate. Certainly the language of the treaty appears on its' face to warrant the former conclusion ; but Secretary Knox is on record as taking the viewthatLlhe assent of the senate would he required. As President Taft has shown all along a willingness to accept such modifications of the treaties as would not seriously impair their practical effect, he will presumably be ready to accept the addition to them which is' now said to he impending, if necessary for their confirmation. If the senate should have expressly reserved to it the right to accept or reject a decision of the joint high commission in favor of arbitration, the situation would be nevertheless one in which it could only be a very extraordinary state of things that would result in rejection. For the commission would prescribe arbitration only in ca,e five out of its six members at least two, therefore, of our own three representatives decided that the question belonged to the justiciable class; and the odium of a refusal to refer a question to arbitration nnder these circumstances would be such as it would require the most overwhelming motive to offset.
