Nations and That all Water
Courses Should be

2 Kept Free.
A striking address was made by Alfred
H. Love Of Harrisburg, Pa, the we'll
known president Of the Universal Peace
Union, before the members of the Della
ware Peace Society at their annual meet
ing held in the Friends School, Fourth
and West streets, last evening. -
In the course of his remarks President
Love scored the Peace Jubilee held in
Philadelphia recently, saying that it was
not a jubilee in it's true sense but a
money making affair. He spoke OF the
spectacle OF people flocking to the city OF
Philadelphia to gee military parade
and look at people whose hands were
red with blood.
He also spoke OF the war-like naya!
parade on the peaceful Delaware. He
said that according to the Bible jubilee
was a time when all debts were for
given, etc. There was no jubilee in
Madrid.
President Love in opening his remarks
took exception to some portions OF the
minutes OF the previous meeting and
the remarks made in an essay by David
Ferris, in which were embodied portions
OF the inaugural address OF President Nc
Kinley. The portions objected to re.
ferred to the statement that war should
not have been entered upon until every
agency of peace had been exhausted, and
that peace was preferable to war under
almost any circumstances.
He held that not loophole should be
allowed for an excuse for going to war.
He made his remarks in reference to this
matter in pleasant manner and apologize
ed for critising the work Of the local So
ciety.
He praised them for the good work
they were doing and said there were
times when all followers of the peace
doctrines were to be tested.
He said there we're three kinds OF
peaca.-threvgh compulsion, by media.
ssefS,i and supteme peace, which ispast all
understanding.
He held that the late war had proved
conclusively the incompatibility Of war
and trye Christianity "War," he said,
breeds national insanity and sweeps
from their foundations the clcrgymen,
the press and the people,"
What is wrong to-day, he said, could
not be made right tomorrow by the
edict of king or the proclamation of a
president.
Peace, he said, was promoted by a rep
resentative government and it should
not favor a home government for Cuba
and Porto Rico, and speedily established
them in governing themselves.
The islands, he continued, should be
open to all nations for coaling merchant
vessels and all water courses kept free.
Our battleships should be turned into
merchant ships.
The principles OF arbitration, he
stated, should be taught in the public
schools rather than military tactics. The
appointment of Peace Commission was
wise and opportune. Why was this not
done at the beginning.
Continuing he said: "We acknowledge
with gratitude Mckinley's action. The
principles of peace should be inculcated
into the children and war held as alb.
Z horrent. War is the special enemy OF
the wage-earner, as it limits the avenues
Of work and paralyzes energy. We have
gotten into sea of trouble and are now
asked TO see our way out of it.
''Some of us saw the way out
months ago. The war question should
have been settled by commission prin-
ciples.
The Behring Sea troubles and other
matters were settled by commissions;
why could not this have been settled.in
the same way? l saw Senator Edmonds
shortly before Congress voted for war,
after he had spent night with Nc.
Kinley. He said Congress should be held
back and we telegraphed to members
and did all we could to avert war, but
Congress was inflamed and it was all to
