Enjoyable Social Event Where the
Delegates Forget Work

Delegates Forget Work.
Music and flowers. pretty gowns and
bright faces gave a decidedly gala ap-
pearance to the parlor floor of the Ryan
hotel last evening, when the supreme Of
fcers. assisted by the central committee
and the gentlemen on the advisory board,
received formally large delegations Of
Modern Woodmen from all over the
state and the numerous other visitors
that have thronged st. Paul since the
opening of the convention.
Brose's orchestra played enlivening
music, the mantels were banked with
fragrant flowers of all kinds, and in the
dining room ices and cakes. served buff
fet fashion, RECALLED the inner man
The supreme officers, headed by Su-
preme Oracle Mrs. Watt, stood in the
receiving line in parlor B. The officers
were assisted by Mrs. G. Bamford, Mrs
George Collins, Mrs J. J. Daugherty,
Mrs. Mary H. Daley, Mrs. C. H New

man, Mrs. a. B. Foster, Mrs. Ida Cox

The reception was we'll nigh a crush
for even the large corridors and parlors
of the Ryan were inadequate for the
crowds that desired to shake hands with
the supreme officers When finally the
parade disbanded with a triumphant
burst of music the crowd became more
and more dense and for a while there
was a decided jam. But it was thor
oughly good-natured crowd that elbowed
and jostled its way hither and thither
last evening. For a while the ladies'
appeared to forget all political strife and
everywhere one met pleasant smiles and
cordial greetings. The reception only
broke up a little before midnight and
everyone left voting it an entire social

Review of Reviews
The path of municipal progress in
America is not without its impedments
and difficulties; but progress. neverthe-
less, is real and striking, as OF course 1t
must be If the nation Is to keep its place
in the van Our cities are so large and
have become so important relatively to
the states in which they are situated that
to abandon them to bad government and
evil socia. conditions would be to poison
the whole life, public and private, of our
commonwealth and our republic. Hence
forth. therefore, 1t will not do to say
that we in America are successful in
tasks Of government and social arganiza-
ton except for failure to manage our
cities we'll. The time has arrived when an
exception of such magnitude would over
throw the general rule. Henceforth the
government of our cities must be looked
upon as typical and representative mat
ter; and If our democracies fail in the
proper ordering of municipal life. they
will not be adjudged successful in any
thing else.

where they exist. Democrats can find in
this fact a pointer for the next national
platform and campaign.
a GOOD ALLIANcE.


According to our advices from Wash
ington there is a purpose, more or less
we'll defined, on the part of the American
and English delegates, to unite in urging
on the forthcoming peace conference the
adoption of arbitration as a means of
settling international disputes
Whatever the event may show Eng
lands position to be on this score before
the conference, no less advanced a po-
sition can be assumed by the United
States Our delegates will be expected
by the national sentiment to urge, at
least, this proposition on the conference.
AS a nation we have, or should have. no
special interest in the issue of disarma-
ment, except in so far as it affects the
great question of permanent and endur-
ing peace among the nations OF Europe.
We cannot enter into the deliberations
of those nations on the question OF the
greater or less desirability on the part
of any one or more of them to reduce
their fighting forces, except as the s.
cussion looks toward the adopt on OF
some arrangement for the adjustment OF
international difficulties a substitute
for war.
When the proposed treaty of peace be-
tween England and our country was IN
der. consideration short time ago, the
sentiment was quite prevalent that such
an arrangement. to be effective and In no
sense an alliance between the two ma
lions, should extend to other nations as well
as England If England was influenced
then by her national love of peace, there
surely will be displayed by her repre-
sentatives at the forthcoming confer
ence at least an equally great zeal in
the same behalf. If England, or any
other leading nation, stands by our S de
in that conference in demanding the es-
tablishment of an international arb ira
ton board, the effect will be to promote
in the most substantial manner the
avowed purpose of the car in calling
that conference together. 1t will throw
the responsibility on the other nations
refusing to agree, a responsibility Which
will enable civilized society to determine
which nations it is that are intent or
perpetuating the brutalities Of war.
The only two great nations which stand
In no degree committed to peace policy
are Germany and France. Many of the
best minds of our day have sought tt
| fasten the responsibility for the existing
vast ornaments on these two nations
and primarily on France, as a nation
! which stands committed to recovering
her former possessions from Germany oS
war. Whatever may be said of the pur
pose of the car and his advisers in call
ing this conference together, it is beyond
all discussion that If England Russia
and the United States are united In the
conference for peace peace will inevi
tably follow.
In any event, the position for our rep
resentatiyes to take is quite clear. We
must declare unequivocally and strenu
ously for the adoption of the principle o.
arbitration of international disputes.

A MAIDEN's PRAYER.

The earth Is ever In the dark.
At night the countless stars but mark
Where ends the day; at dawn of day
The sun but leaves his faintest ray,
And soon to boundless height he hies
To hide his beauty in the. skies
I thank Thee, o. my Lord, that here
All goods I do thus disappear
EnWreathed by Thee with beams of love
In heavens fairest realms above,
And no faint rays are made to stay
To render fair my form of clay.
Thus only I can serve Thee WELL.
And no vain thought that | excel
VIII make me prominent in the dark
Thine eye alone, my Lord, can mark
My form on years to Thee ascend,
So well with earthly gloom / blend
Thus prayed at eve maiden sweet
My thoughts from earth arose and fleet
Were borne beyond where stars are fixed
On smiles that spanned the void that
'twixt
Myself and God far interviewed.
And yet on her sweet lips they leaned.

NELsON AND sAMPsoN.

The devotion of the average imperlallst
politician to his masters at Washing
ton has been admirably illustrated in the
person of our present ambassador to
England. In his speech before British
sailors society, Minister Choate thought
proper. fttingly enough, to eulogize Lord
Nelson as the typical warrior Of the sea,
adding that recent events had establish
ed on the rolls of fame two other names,
to stand in history beside the name Of
to the facetious Mr.. Choate, are Dewey
and-Sampson!
And why Sampson? The answer is that
Sampson is an administration hero, and
Choate is a member of the adminiStra-
ton. It would, no doubt, be very unbe-
coming on the part of one of the lead
ing oracles of the imperialists to have
brought forward the name of Schley in
connection with those Of Nelson and
Dewey, because, if for no other reason,
the imperialist administration set itself
ruthlessly to rob Schley, not only Of
the honor of his splendid achievements
outside Santiago. and Of the promotion
which was afterward conferred on him
despite the administration, but Of his good
name as brave and honorable naval
commander.
Rear Admiral Sampson had come as
near as any officer could come and es-
cape, to being convicted of dishonorable
conduct in withholding an official COM
munication the Withholding of which
enabled him to defame an associate and
claim a triumph in which he had no
part except that Of nominal commander
of the forces IN front of Santiago.
And yet Minister Choate would place
Simpsons name side by side with those
of Nelson and Dewey. Such an under
taking is simply to be regarded as a
move in the huge game of bluff in which
the administration is now engaged.

CINCINNATI, o., May 10.-A consofI-
dation of the stove manufacturing inter-
ests Of the country may result from the
meeting of manufacturers now being held
here The occasion is the twenty-eighth
annual convention OF the National Asso-
citation Of Stove Manufacturers. and
there are represented about 600 firms,
who control 80 per cent of the business
OF the country in that line. These manu-
facturers. after listening to proposition
by John Walker, an attorney of Fhiladel-
phia. representing Eastern and foreign
capital. decided to appoint committee
OF seven leading manufacturers to gath
er data from the stove men as to the
amount of capital invested respectively
and in the aggregate, the number of
plants that could be secured. etc. This
committee is authorized to confer with
Mr.. Baker and his associates, to agree
upon a joint proposition. when option
blanks and papers viii be sent to all
the stove manufacturers of the country
This committee was selected tonight. as
follows: Chauncey H. Castle. Quincy; w
Bursey, Chicago; w. s. Stevenson.
F Philadelphia; Robert P. Shick Heading;
E. w. Anthony, Boston; H. w. Butter,
Nashville, and Frank Karnan, Utica.
This action was taken at u conference
which followed the regular meeting of
the session. Mr.. Baker appeared not
only as a promoter, but as the represent
alive OF capitalists who were abundantly
able to finance the proposed Ccnsolida-
ton Of the stove manufactures of the
country, If the proprietors so desired 1t
was ascertalned that of the 200 large
stove foundries of this country, only four
of them are west of the Mississippi river.
Mr.. Baker outlined plan for the stove
manufactures first to cooperate mutual
ly and then prepare a proposition for the
consideration of the parties he repre-
sents. He held that the economy in op-
Grafton thus effected would enable the
manufacturers to reduce prices so as to
control the market, and that there could
be no popular feeling against the combI-
nation when prices were reduced. He
insisted that the reduction OF prices was
a necessity in the operation of such a
combination.
The plan was SO favorably received
that the appointment of a committee to
cooperate with him was decided upon
Immediately.
The feature Of tCday's session of the
convention proper was the annual adj
dress of President Prizer.
