THE coming peace conference at The
Hague is attracting world wide inter
est. Abroad the newspapers take diff
project, but in this country opinions
are almost iden tical-thst the confer
ence can do no harm and that the way
may be opened by which the world can
take long step forward in the direc-
ton of universal peace. One fact
argues for the real prestige which the
conference is sure to have. That Is
the high standing of the men appoint
ed by the various countries to repres-
emit them at the conference. Even II
no very definite results shall accrue
from their deliberations, the meeting
and participation in earnest discussion
by such men will mean much to the
enter q protest against the proposed
exclusion of newspaper correspondents
from the meetings of the conference.
One of the most important immediate
results of the conference would be the
general dissemination of the informa-
w
brought up at that time, and this de-
sirsble publicity can only be obtained
by encouraging rather that sitting
newspaper enterprise. 1t might be
necessary to hold secret sessions occa
sionally, but the objects of the confer
ence would be materially hindered If
not defeated by keeping its delibera-
tions secret until the various govern
ments should see fit to publish them az
official documents-whfch might mean
five or six years delay. The instructions
that have been given to our commits
sioners have not yet been made
public. However, 1t is known that
they are very full, being confined to
and theysproceed along the
lines of our traditional policy. For in
stance, the UnitedI. States could not at
this time bind herself to reduce her ar
maments, or even to,.refrain from furth- |
or increasing them. We cannot bind !

It,-such as the better treatment OF
prisoners and the naturalization of hos

agree to any proposition that only con-

merchant vessels of belligerents. The

ONE work that the Woman's club
could attend to, if it should take on
some of the characteristics OF "vil-
lage improvement society,"" would be
the provision of suitable boxes or cans
all over the city to receive deposits OF
street trash, paper, and rubbish gen.
orally, that is now thrown in the
streets. There is an ordinance against
ittering up the streets, but no place
being provided for trash everything
naturally sooner or later goes into the
streets. It is like the condition that
obtains in the union station at Kansas
City. ALL over the station there are
f1sring signs telling the sbashed strang-
err that splitting on the floor or plat
form is misdemeanor severely pun
ishable. But careful investigation
fails to disclose single receptacle
for the products of expectoratiop. The
natural result is that the law Is en-
tirely disregarded.

THE Nicaragua canal would make
New York eighteen hundred miles
nearer Yokohama than Liverpool, one
thousand to eighteen hundred miles
nearer Australian ports, thirty eight
hundred miles nearer New Zealand,
and from three to four thousand miles
nearer ports on the west coast of South
America. It would appear to be desi-
rable beyond all argument that the
United States should build the canal as
soon as possible.

THE splitting habit is calling for de-

Paris the police have been forced to
begin q crusade against the filthy
practice The great cities OF the coun-

it. Here in Ell Paso the question is be-

the citizens should force the local ad

Modern socialistic Platform.

Mr.. Carroll D. Wright commissioner of
labor, delivered a lecture yesterday after
noon at the Catholic University on Mod
ern sociallstic Platforms in which he
treated at length of recent demands of
the socialists After enumerating num-
Der Of those demands Mr.. Wright said
they were not revolutionary in a political
sense. Most of them are approved, he add
ed, by conservative economists, and many
have been already incorporated in laws of
states.
He denominated as radical demands ma
tional possession of railroads, canals tele-
graphs, telephones and all other means of
communication and transportation, and mu-
niCpal possession of local railways, ferries
and all other industries requiring munich
pal franchises. He said to carry out these
demands would result in industrial revolu-
ton, and yet there are many who are not
socialists who believe in them, and do not
hesitate 20 advocate them.
There cannot be much danger. the speak
er said, in the present socialistic platform
as adopted in this country.

REMEDY CALLED FOR,
Humane Society Directs Attention to
Use of Disabled Horses.

The Washington Humane Society has ad-
sioners calling attention to the use of dis
abled horses by ash-cart drivers. Among
other things the letter sets forth:
THE Washington Humane Society feels
compelled to call your attention again to
the Wretched condition of the ash-cart
horses. and beg that you will urge Con-
gress to take immediate steps to rid the
streets of the pitiable and disgraceful spec
tacle which those unfortunate animals pre-
sent Many of them are hardly able to
walk, much less pull a load in the dilapi-
dated vehicles whose wabbllng wheels in
crease the resistance
Our work for the prevention of cruelty
Is seriously hindered because aid is refused
to US by persons who are shocked by the
wretched condition of these horses and do
rot know that we are powerleSs to provide
a remedy. In order to explain the situa-
ton to our critics, copy of our corre-
spondence with you on this subject was
sent with our last years report to each
member of the society, and to citizens of
the District, who complained of this intol-
cradle nuisance and expect that we will
make every possible effort to abate it.
We are sure that you are just as anx-
ious to remedy this evil as we are, and we
trust that Congress will act upon your rep
resentation without delay We should be
glad to be enabled to assure our supporters
in our forthcoming annual report of your
continued interest and efforts to abate this
evil, and We still think that an official in
spection of horses at the auction markets
SO as to prevent the sale and constant in
fiux of animals unfit for use. is a neces-
sity."

dent.

Child Residing in District May Attend
Public School.

The attorney for the District has advised
the Commissioners that a child residing in
the District is entitled to attend the local
public schools free of charge for tuition, al
though the parents or guardians Of the
child may have residence elsewhere.
The attorneys opinion was rendered in
the case Of Mr.. Wallace McGregor, whose
brother, John, pupil in one Of the Dis
trict public schools, was charged for tut
ton. The attorney, after quoting the pro-
visions of the law, divides them into three
classes, namely, pupils who do not reside
in the District; pupils whose parents who
do not reside in said District, and pupils
whose parents are not engaged in business
or public duties in said District
while necessity may have existed he
explains. for closing the doors of our
excellent public schools TO some children
and youth, 1t Is gratifying to know that
comparatively few are liable to be exclud-
ed. Class one contains a legislative decla-
ration that for the purposes of the act of
Congress a minor may acquire a residence
separate from the domicile of his parents.
Inasmuch as John McGregor resides in the
District of Columbia, am of the opinion
that he is entitled to be admitted to and
taught free of charge in the public
Schools

lin is engaged in examining into the char
ter rights of the old Alexandria and Wash
ington Turnpike Company relative to the
highway extending south from Long bridge.
Mr.. Carlin has been in Richmond for the
past few days comforting with Attorney
General Montague about the matter.
AS before stated in The Star, there is an
important contest involved in this move
ment. The tracks Of the pennsylvania
Railroad Company south of Long bridge
occupy a portion of the ground, which, 1t
is claimed. belongs to the Alexandra and
Washington Turnpike Company. AS this
route is the only direct one connecting
north and south. much interest attaches to
any litigation or legislation affecting its
control.
1t is said that Mr.. Carlin and Mr.. Monta-
que have agreed as to what steps in the
premises are to be taken, and that Dill
will soon be offered in the legislature.

DOG AFFLICTED WITH RABIES.
FOX Terrier Discovered to BE Suffer-
ing From the Disease.

\ fox terrier dog owned by Mr.. George
W. Brown of No. ITO Connecticut avenue
was found TO be suffering this morning
from form of paralytic rabies. Upon
recommendation of DIR. Cecil French, the
animal was chloroformed at the bureau Of
animal industry of the Department of Agrt-
culture. Rabbits will be inoculated with
serum taken from the carcass for scientific
experiments with the disease. The little
terrier has been in several fights during
the past few months, and, it is supposed.
was bitten by some tramp mad dog, pos
sibly the same one which infected the ami
mai belonging to the British ambassador.
Mr.. Browns dog was not in a dangerous
condition, as Its lower jaw was paralyzed
and 1t could not bite. The decision to put
the animal to death was not the result of
any furry of excitement, Dr. French de-
ciared, In speaking of the case but was
decided upon only after a careful diagnosis.
In regard to the muzzling of dogs Dr.
french said he was opposed to the plan
on general principles, but declared that
no dog could ever be driven mad by~wear-
ing such headgear. MuZzles are likely
to make animals cross, but they could con-
tract rabies in no other way than by be-
ing infected by the bite of an animal al
ready diseased.

MORALS AND THE STAGE.
Lecture by DR.. Egan Before st. Paurs
Union.


Union.
Dr. Maurice Francis Egan lectured last
night before st. Paul's Union at the parish
hall of st. Paul, 10Th and streets. his
subject being Morals and the Stage" DR..
Egan's address was a learned and inter-
esting discussion of the stage of today In
its many phases and viewed from a number
of different standpoints. 1t was commended
by the speaker that the stage, having an
important influence on society which as
sumes to be Christian, should not ignore en-
tirely the ethics of Christianity. DR.. Egan
declared there were a number Of plays
which young girls should not see. placing
in this class Camille Fedora" La
"Tosca" and "Zaza." Technically, he said,
these plays were exquisite. al that they
should be, but art for arts sake it was
declared, is against all the principles of
Christian morality.
DR.. Egan intimated that it was hardly
the proper thing for even older people to
witness the plays upon which a ban was
placed for the young. notwithstanding the
fact that modern mora.ists write in this
connection as though persons over a GER
tain age have secured policy of insur-
ance against he'll fire."
Concluding, DR.. Egan said: 1.-THE water
OF dramatic effort never rises beyond its
own level, which Is the inclination of the
public. The stage cannot be permitted to
frame a code of morals for ITSELF 1t cam
not ignore Christian civilization, although
1T may not want to have direct relations
with religion. 1t must submit to De Judged
by the Christian standard. 1t remains for
Christian society to perfect it,

PLANTS AND CUT FLOWERS.
Ihey Add Much to the Charm of Holt
day Surroundings

A Christmas without green things and
blossoms about the house wouldn't be
real Christmas. There is something pecu-
liarly appropriate in having plants in the
house at Christmas time. Messrs A. GUIDE
q Bro, the florists, at 1924 F street, have
been long time preparing for the Christ
mas wants of their patrons and their dis
play of growing things appropriate to the
holiday season is unusually large and strik-
ing. 1t Is worth while just to visit their
store on F street for the sake of seeing
the beautiful things there. Among the
plants are some especially fine varieties
like the famous cyclamen persicum gigan-
tium, azaleas and all kinds of palms and
ferns.
Plants and flowers make gifts which may
be offered to any one, of whatever station
in life, with perfect propriety and the GER
tainty that they are the acme Of good
taste.
The custom of sending cut flowers for
Christmas morning greeting has grown to
be almost universal in late years among
those who set the fashion in social niceties.
What could be daintier or more pleasing
than cluster of magnificent roses, what
ever flower the fancy may dictate, sent to
friends house to adorn the reception room
during the day?
If you are to have guests at dinner on
Christmas day you will need flowers for
the table. No dinner is quite correct in all
Its appointments unless the floral features
are IN good form.
Messrs. GUIDE & Bro. have way Of look
ing after the floral wants of Washington
ians with as much interest and care as If
they themselves were the givers of the
Christmas flowers which they send out for
their patrons.
