President Mckinley should
see to it that the family of no
soldier who has gone into the
war is permitted to suffer. A
dismal story comes from New
York State about the helpless
ness of volunteers families.
Such a state of affairs is great
discredit to the government and
should not be allo wed to con-
tinue.-Every such family has a
just claim against the United
states for sustenances while

u rnle, the safest people with whom
to do business, for they believe in
the motto Live and Let Live
The increasing business, due to
advertising, enables such houses to
prosper on small profits, and there.

of lower prices and better bargains

FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE
The Cars Manifesto a Turning
Point in History.
THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA
The Cause of the Armaments Must Be
Removed Before the Military Es-
Establishments Can Be Re-
duced.

St Petersburg. Aug 29.-The news
ifesto will probably constitute a turning
point in history. The Novosti says: 1T
stands to reason that the disarmament
question can not be solved without a
previous removal of the cause for the
ornaments. The conference must ac-
curately determine the respective pre-
tensions of the nations and propose
means for a peaceful arrangement, and
ii may come to pas that at the close
of the 18th century liquidation may be
effected of the international policies.
which are so prolific in troubles and
dangers"
The Novoe Nremya says: "All true
friends of peace are naturally on the
side of Russia, but it is impossible to
guarantee that some OF the western
cabinets will not raise objections pro-
moted by the fact that the armed peace,
which has existed since 1871, is the main
source of their international strength.
The Sviet says: IF all the powers
accept Russia's proposal with the same
earnestnes with which IT was made.
the dawn of the 20th century will see
the idea of universal peace triumphant
over that of unres, and dscord."
The Niedomstt expresses the opinion
that the note of the czar is essentially
an attempt to introduce the element of
trust into international relations" add
ing: Whoever believes in the creative
power of ideas propounded with con-
Niction and clearness must rejoice that
the note brings a new and benefiCent
course into the worlds life and groups
anew the participants in that life."
