i'll taken ground Of opposition to any practical
and free consideration of arbitration. We were
never fully prepared to believe that so enlight-
ened and powerful a state could act so un-
worthily as to run away before dicussion of
arbitration or as tn insist upon the gagging of
deliberative assembly of peers. As matter of
fact, arbitration has, because of such tentative
opposition as Chill manifested, actually been
more discussed than it would otherwise have
been. And Chill has apparently yielded the
one point upon which she was supposed to be
most resolute. For the Convention of The
Hague is not sicklied Ger with the pale cast of
postponement. 1t does not of course call for
"retroactive"s arbitration. No man in South
America or elsewhere. But neither are its
benefcent applications restricted TO what Lowell
aptly termed the "paulo-post- future" 1t is
emphatically thing of present utility, appli-
cable to controversies now existing. Thus, to
make concrete example, the arbitration to
which Chill now assents could not reopen the
definite settlements which were made years ago,
at the close of the war with Peru. 1t could
not challenge the validity of the Treaty of
Ancon. But it could operate for the determi-
nation of any controversies as yet unsettled, or
for the Interpretation of any provisions of the
Treaty of Ancon which may yet remain unful-
filled.
The other salient fact is that the American
republics have not only agreed among them
selves, but have also place. themselves exactly
in line with the great powers of Europe which
have been wont to regard them superciliously
if not contemptuously Too often our European
friends have referred to the Central and South
American peoples as "lesser breeds, without the
law" who lived in perpetual fightings, and to
whom arbitration and the laws of nations were
unknown. But there these states are adopting
literally that Convention of The Hague which
is supposed to embody the best sweetness and
light of Europe in the nineteenth century. Yes
they adopt it, says the cynic, but will they act
upon it? Probably about as well as the Euro
pean powers have done So Thus far, we be-
ieve, not single European controversy has
been deferred to the tribunal of The Hague
though there have been and are enough of them
to keep dozen courts busy. Meantime, out
side of the Hague Convention, various South
and Central American states have been and are
referring their disputes to arbitration 1t may
be that Mexico will prove not unworty to rank
by the side of The Hague.

THE NEWSPAPER AS A BUSINESS. 4

The rural newspaper of today is far in
advance of what it was ten years ago. The tone
of the editorial management has astlyimproved.
The character of the editorial writer, SO far as
manifested in the products of his brain, has been
elevated, and he has acquired intelligence and
dignity. Very often today the weekly news
paper is the medium through which are express
ed some of the wisest conclusions upon policies
of the uay, some of the shrewdest suggestions
for men at the centre of influence and power.
The improvement which has marked the news
paper profession in the last decade is cause for
highest qualification to those who have long been
connected with this medium of public education.
And the newspaper fraternity has good reason
to congratulate itself, as well as the public at
large, that men who conducted newspapers, l. rye
and small, are for the most part learning the
dignity of their calling and are making strenuous
efforts to place it where in belongs-among the
best agencies which are helping to develop civil
lization.

AGREEMENT on ARBITRATION.
THE Pan-American Congress had vindicat-
lization.

THE Pan-American Congress had vindicat-
l. ed the confidence of its friends and has
grievously disappointed its foes. We need not
now again rehearse the tale of evil prophecies
concerning it-that it would never meet, that it
would break up Immediately after organizing
that the delegates of this, that or the other
country would withdraw, that there would never
be agreement upon the paramount issue of arbi-
tration, ct cetera, ad nauseam. There were at
times, no doubt, some unpleasant symptoms, and
we cannot say that all the countries in the con-
gress acted at all times as reasonably as might
have been wished. Nevertheless, we have never
lost hope that in the end "the common sense of
most" would assert itself and would prevail, for
the good of all concerned To-day that hope
seems to be realized. Largely, as it appears,
through the diplomatic agency of one of the
United States delegates, modus vivendi has been
reached, and working agreement has been
concluded between the two differing parties upon
the crucial issue of arbitration.
Details aside two salient facts dominate the

UNITED ZINC ( CHEMICAL CO.

On January 2l the REGISTER report
ed pretty sound rumor that there was
deal on to unite the Standard Acid
Company and the Kansas City Chemi-
cal Company. Nothing could be learn
ed of the facts from the lola company,
but this morning there was filed for
record in the court house deed which
is of interest.
The deed is made by William Ian
yon and transfers the acid plant and
ground, two tracts of gas land and his
house north of town to the United Zinc
and Chemical Company, corp Grafton
organized under the laws of New
Jersey. All the property is transfer
red clear of incumbrauce for the sum
of one dollar and other valuable con-
siderations which are not specified
The deed was made in Kansas City,
February % and bears $50 revenue
stamp,
All of which bears out the SUPPOSE
tion that it is the Kansas City Chemi-
cal Company which is uniting with the
Standard Acid Company and its zinc
smelter. AS the REGISTER has pre-
viously noted plans have long been
made to double the acid plant just be-
ing finished here as soon as the first
part is finished the date of which is
about March /, The plant now con-
sists of huge acid department where
sulphuric acid will be made from the
smoke from the roast kilns Of the six
block smelter in connection which is
built under the management of Mr. II.
Ziesing. The plant is a model one in
every way and has cost a large sum
of money. If the acid department is
doubled the smelling department may
likewise increase, in which case the
plant would be one of the largest in
the county.
