A Flag of Truce.

Such occurrences as this are Inevitable
says the Detroit Free Press. The father
is a veteran Of the civil war; and the son
helped settle things in Cuba.
You don't know what war is said the
old gentleman at dinner the other day.
ITS nothing 10 go over and clean out a
lot of half-breeds and heather. We fought
as brave a lot of men as ever strapped
on a knapsack or pulled a trigger, and
we didn't come home kicking because our
bill of fare wasn't up to that Of 50 a
day hotel"
"Oh, guess you did your share of kick
ing, from what read. And I guess you
didn't Stake anything much hotter than
il was going up that hill at Santiago"
Papa" said little Johnny, from near
the foot of the table, do you mean that
a man that was wounded or killed in your
war was any more woundeder or killdedeI
than they was in Brother Ikes WARP"
The old veteran simply hoisted his nap
kin on his fork, and the Cuban hero smil-
ingly acknowledged the surrender.

A newly married couple were returning

One day she was out sketching, for, like

Talking about bishops. the other after
noon a distinguished. stately man, clad in
the garb of a minister. was over at the
fish commission spending a half hour
watching the gyrations of the specimens
in the tank, says the Washington Post.
One of the scientists of the institution, an
ichthyologist, whose papers on the sub
tect of deep-sea investigation are attract
ing attention throughout the world, hap
pened, in passing by the tank, TO notice
the ministers. He studied the stately Nis-
itor for minute, and then he walked up
to him.
Am I right" he inquired, in suppos-
ing you to be the Right Rev. Lucien Lee
Kinsolving, Episcopal bishop of Brazil?"-
You are" replied the stately man, re-
garding his questioner wonderingly.
"Welb then, hello 'Blooker!'' said the
scientist, joviany, holding out his hand.
why, hello. there, Charle!' warmly re-
piled the Right Rev. Lucien Lee Kin
solving, Episcopal bishop of Brazil, squeez-
ing the young scientists hand.

a boarding-school down in Virginia when
they were boys, and they hadn't seen each

rLoRIpA.s CONVICT CAMPs.

The report Of the committee appointed
by the Florida Legislature 10 investigate
the convict camps shows that the treat
ment received by the convicis in most oil
these camps is a disgrace 10 the state
We feel safe in saying that when the peo-
pie of Florida fully realize the enormity
Of the wrong that is being done the de-
based and helpless creatures which the
state holds in its power for violations OF
its laws. their Indignation Will find vent
in severe condemnation of the legislature
for not making provision for protecting
them against the greed and brutality Of
lessees.
As Christians the people OF Florida can
not afford 10 permit such scandal to
continue. II Is their duty to demand that
the legislature shall at once take steps
to prevent the crueltes and brutaitles
which the report reveals as existing in
some Of the camps-in the most Of them,
the report says The filth disclosed by
the investigation was something awful,
the food served hardly fit for beasts and
the whlppings inflicted simply brutal
Filth, disease, starvation. cruelties so hor-
rible as to make the blood run cold to
hear Of them and death are what the re-
port revealed.
And the committee had it's suspicious
that the deaths of convicts in some in
stances. if investigated, would reveal
crimes. and it therefore recommended that
in all cases of death a fun investigation
should be made by the coroner, and a re-
port of the findings of that officer be sent
to the commissioner of agriculture.
The report calls for more than is recon-
mended by the committee. 1t calls for a
radical change in the manner of caring
for the convicts. The time has passed
when a Christian state can afford to per-
nit it's convicts to be beaten, bruised and
brutalzed to be kept in sinking stock
AIDES and to be forced to sleep on the bare
ground or floor, having In the coolest
weather only one blanket. and that not
washed more than once a year, and to
wear clothes so filthy as to be disease
breeding.
Surely Florida does not mean that its
convicts shall be treated in the inhumau
manner in which, according to report
they are now treated. And there is nc
| reason why they should be- The state has
| ample means to insure proper and humane
treatment for it's convicts. Let there be
intelligent and conscientious supervision
| and adequate penalties for cruelty, if the
present system is to be retained, but il
would be better, far better, if the system
were changed. The convicts should b,
kept under the control of state officers
and if hired out, state officers should re
main in control of them. 1t is gratifying
that the committee found two or thre,
camps that were kept in such condition al

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd)
thinks the conference at The Hague
opened in a curious atmosphere of aspira-
ton, tempered by insincerity and cyniclsm.
1t says; Every individual delegate pro-
fesses himself heartily in favor of peace,
of checking the terrible cost of national
ornaments, of meeting halfway the eff
forts of the most powerful ruler on earth
to stay the ravages of militarism. Then
why cannot something be done? Well,
this is a wicked world. You wouldn't have
the millennium come too suddenly, would
you? But the delegates are good men in
a wicked world They may not be able to
make the lion and the lamb lie down with
sides actually touching, but is that any
reason for their giving up trying TO in
duce them TO live peaceably in adjoining
fields? If not absolutely perfect. why
should we not try to make the world as
good as possible? All, comes the hypocrit-
ical sigh, In which may OF the delegates
to the conference furtiveiy join, that is
entirely impracticablel Individually, We
all favor every plan for peace; but col
lectively, you know, the thing is impos-
sible."
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
President Jordan of Leland Stanford
University has answered Coils P. Hunt
iugtons assertion that the masses in this
country are over-educated as IL should be
answered. He says: There are plenty Of
shirks. blockheads and insists among col
lege men. College does not furnish brains.
These men can be had, tied in punches, at
$50 per month. This is the only kind of
college men that some very wealthy per-
sons see. The better class ask no favaTs;
they can take care OF themselves.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE AT THE
HAGUE.

There is some specula fion as to the i'm
preston which our representatives at the
peace conference will make. Because we
haven't a trained diplomatic corps the
idea prevails to a very great extent that
we cannot make as good an impression
in the field of diplomacy as the nations
of Europe. But when have we failed to
fully protect our interests and get our
full dues in negotiations to which we have
been parties? 1t was thought that our
representatives at the Paris peace confer
ence would be overreached by the repre-
sentatives of Spain. They were not, how
ever We made the terms of the peace
conference. Spain got only what we de-
cided to let her have.
We know what our interests require and
what we want in all the diplomatic af-
fairs in which we become engaged, and
hence, there isn't much danger Of our be-
ing tricked into accepting terms hostile
to our interests, or of granting conces-
sions beyond what is reasonable and right
Our representatives at the Cars peace
conference will see to it that our gov
eminent plays as influential a role as thai
| of any other government. Indeed, II
wouldn't be surprising If our represent
atives should be especially honored. OF
account of the fact that our government
| has Just brought to an end war will
| Spain IN which our deeds on land and see
startled the entire civilized world by theil
brilhancy,
Our delegates are Andrew ID. White
now minister to Berlin, Seth Low, presi
| dent of Columbia University, Capt AlfreC
| T. Mahan of the navy. Capt. William Gro
zier, who represents the army, Hon. Stan
ford Newell. our minister at The Hague
and Frederick T. Hollis, who is the secre
tary of the delegation. All of these mel
stand high in the various fields of en-
deavor in which they have been occupied
aud il is certain that they will represen
the country with credit. 1t Is not expect
ed that the conference will be productiv
Of any result that will noticeaby chang
