Peace Not Temperance.

In the Friends School building last

mon f. Barker, Richard Barnard.
David Ferris reported his visit to tho
convention If the Universal Peace Society
held at Mystic, Conn, and he Rev. w. w.
Campbell told of the deliberations Of the
Pennsylvania Peace Society.
The following resolution was presented
and rejected:
"We feel it right to enter our protest
and earnest disapprOval Of the duplicity,
the useless waste and wild extravaganza
and intemperance that preceded and &C
companied the bringing of the warship
Wilmington to this city. Duplicity in us
ing money contributed for one purpose
for another purpose; waste in spending
many hundred dollars to buy punch
bowl Of no use but to encourage intemper-
ance and debauchcry. 1t seemed to be the
devotion of cur city on that day to the
worship of Mars and Bacchus, the beathen
gods OF war and wine.

that complications would arise The so
c.eIy was banded together for peace, not
as temperance society. Therefore, II
bandod for peace, the resolutions, which
would cause antagonism, would be against
tho object of the society.
The society passed the following resolu-
tions:
First Our object Is to discountenance
all resorts to deadly force; to encourage
moral efforts for the unconditional aboli-
ton Of war, and the establishment OF per,
manent peace; to accomplish this we will
employ popular conventions, appeals, pc
titlons, lectures, the press and tho pulpit
to convince the people that war is n crime
and opposed to the best interests Of man.
kind
Second: A system of arbitration, me-
diatlon and Cancellation should exist in
business, in government and in national
and international tribunals to take the
place of tho military system; and peace
departments supercede war departments
We believe tho failure of the United
States Senate to ratify. by tow-thirds
vote the Anglo American arbitration
treaty, after it being adopted by Great
Britain, was Il great mistake. but it receive
ed the endorsement Of a large majority Of
the Senate and the American people, SO
we feel encouraged to believe thata treaty
of the kind will yet DO consummatcd not
only between this country and Great
Britain, but between ali enlightened ma
tions.
Third: We congratulate President
Mckinley upon the noble stand in his in
augura address, in favor Of the treaty Of
and for peace and these noble
words In that address: We want no wars Of
conquest; we must avoid the temptations
OF territorial aggression War should

THE advantage of the daily paper
over all other mediums is shown in
prompt returns. You don't have to
wait a few weeks or months to know
whether your advertising is going to
pay. The results are much more i'm
mediate than they would be from a
weekly or monthly And, as the
number of people who do not read
daily papers in this country is com
paratively small, and rapidly grow
ing smaller, the advertiser is reason
ably certain that by using these
mediums -judiciously selected he is
reaching a far greater audience than
he could hope to by the use of other
mediums
