THE HAGUE COURT.

There is misconceptIon concern
ing the Hague court, its composition,
its powers and its scope of authority.
1t is not, as generally supposed body
of international jurists who assemble
at the Hague whenever called. 1t
consists of large number of men "of
acknowledged skill and ability on
questions of international law, pos
sessing the highest moral reputation
and willing to assume the position of
arbitrators." Each of the signatory
powers of the Hague conference have
appointed four members to this court.
The selection of t he arbitrators in
any particular case may be arranged
by the parties concerned, but in the
absence of such provision there has
been general method of procedure
outlined. Under this general arrange
ment the court consists of five mem
bers chosen from among the members
Of the court. Two are chosen by each
party to the dispute and to these four
is left the selection of the remaining
member. Should this method fail in
the selection of the fifth member of
the court he may be named by pow
er agreed upon and if no such agree
ment can be reached, then by two
powers that are satisfactory to the
parties to the controversy. Just how
the court that is to consider the Ven
ezuelan difficulty will be selected will
not be known until the provisions of
the protocol between the nations is
made public. The treaty consummat-
ed at The Hague, Intentionally gives
a very wide latitude to the constitu-
tion of the court for the investigation
of any dispute. This resulted from
the fact that IS trainers were endeay-
oring to make arbitration easy and
did not desire to impose any more re-
strictions upon the workings of the
agree ment than absolutely necessary.

MORE MONEY In III.

Even though Bryan would rather be
president than farmer, yet he can
sit at his ease and satisfy his ambi-
tion with the thought that there is
more money in his present job. His
removal to his new home on a hill
about three miles out of Lincoln has
again called attention to his worldly
prosperity. The home has cost about
10000, is built of pressed brick and
stone, with hand-carved oak finish.

Sun says Mr.. Bryan is a rich man.

She was just an ordinary woman
without much leisure or time for cul
ture. She did not know the difference
between an Ionic and a Doric column
in architecture and she was not up
on china painting and the Roman EN-
perors. But she brought up three
children to tell the truth, to love God
to love their brothers and to do hon
est labor with their hands and not be
ashamed of it. When she died the
papers did not notice it, but the re
cording angel said, as he reached for
a pen and turned over a fresh page:

His newspaper is firmly established.
Although he has disdained trained
business assistance, he has made it
a big money maker. Thirty thousand
dollars a year is conservative esti-
mate of his share of profit from it.
He began with 10000 circulation, and
now has twice that number. His act
ual wealth, aside from his newspaper,
which is paying good interest upon

and simply, but well.

QUAKER NoNREsIsTANcE.

Mayor Jones of Toledo recently
brought forward the Quakers as an il
lustration of what has been accom-
plished through resistance 20 war. He
said in substance that he was by con-
viction Quaker; that non-resistant
men had been the winners all through
history; that Quakers cannot be fore
ed into a fight; that they simply say,
1--WE will not fight, and in so doing
show their strength.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean in an edi-
toriaI article takes Issue with Mayor
Jones and shows quite conclusively
that he has misrepresented the facts
of history. The Inter-Ocean declares
that American Quakers never have
said to the government, 1--WE will not
fight" but have said that it was
against their principles to participate
in war. But when they were needed
they were found in me field or on
duty, looking after the needs of the
government and the soldiers. AS a
matter of fact there were Quakers in
nearly every Ohio, Inolana and Penn
sylvania regiment in the service dur
ing the civil war, and they made good
soldiers. There were quakers in the
war of 1872 also, as Tie following
story recalled by the InterOcean goes
| to show:
An old Quaker on an American
privateer was asked to take a gun or
pike and resist an attempt of the
| British to board the American vessel.
He declined, saying that he could not
| fight; he was a man of peace. But as
the British seaman were boarding the
vessel, the Quaker, noticing one man
climbing up rope, and in this way
escaping the observation of the arm
ed men forced to resist boarders,
quietly took up hatchet, and sever
ing the rope, said, Friend, if thee
wants the rope, thee may have it"
and the man dropped into the sea.
The same authority repeats the
story told by General Grant of a
Quaker boy in front of Chattanooga.
On one side of the narrow creek were
posted the Union sentinels and on the
other the Confederate. There was an
understanding that neither encroach
upon the territory Of the other:
One day, however, a bumptious
Confederate, finding opposite him a
Quaker, crossed beyond the middle of
the stream and taunted the Union SEN
tinel with his inability to prevent his
further progress. Thereupon the
Quaker boy put down his musket and
said, Il will not smite thee; l will not
punch thee with the bayonet, but /
will put thy head under water" and
he was as good as his word. Being
Of stalwart build and free Of action,
he seized the Confederate and held
him under water until he agreed to go
back to his own side Of the stream
and stay there.
The foregoing are instanced as fair
illustrations of Quaker nonresistance,
which are never carried to such ex-
tremsa as Mr.. Jones would have peo-
pie believe.

THE HERALD

Hip Pads and Corsets.
Trousers padded at the hipsl The
style is bound to come.
Tailors say so.
Must squeeze our waists with corsets
till our ribs warp out of plumb,
Got to do it.
Must try to catch the curVings of the
female form divine;
Must initiate the girlies in every grace
full line
Each man must be an hour-glass built
round a suffring spine,
Lord save us!
In studying our fashion plate the sIrl-
les we will ape.
Won't we? Bet we will!
Will rubberneck on streets to see the
other fellows shape
Size 'em up plenty!
Before our mirrors we must stand, oh
what a funny fate,
While dressing before the world in
pride preambulate,
To satisfy ourselves that we have got
our hips on straight
Wouldn't it kill you!
The girls will stick hat pins in ui in
every public place.
They'll want to know, you
know,
To see if we are genuine or imita-
tions-base-
They'll have their suspicious.
They'll walk behind us on the street
wherever we may go
And will dissect us (metaphor) in
whispers soft and low,
And giggle when they really should
admire us, don't you know;
That's honest!
There's really no escape for us. The
fashions on the way.
No chance to run.
It's liable to reach us now, most any
fateful day.
Oh, the thought Of it!
The women initiate us in their vests
and ties and shirts,
Some of 'em even wear the pants, the
married man asserts.
And old King Fashion yet may drape
our underpins in skirts.
Toot, Gabriel, loot!

President Shelton, of the State
Teachers Association is not inclined
to endear himself to the younger
teachers of the state by such remarks
as he is quoted as having made at the
recent convention. In his address he
declared: "Three-fourths of the teach
ers in the rural schools of Iowa are
absolutely worthless, and an equal
proportion of the money spent is abso-
lutely thrown away"
