DEMONSTRATIONS FOR PEACE

Mrs. May Wright sewall, chairman Of
the Peace and Arbitration Committee
Of the International Council Of Women,
I'm n circular letter addressed to Mrs.
Bathsheba w. Smith. Of this city, sug-
gests that the annual demonstration in
behalf Of international arbitration,
which generally Is held on the 18th OF
Ma be postponed, this year, TO the day
in October, when the general peace con-
gress opens IN Boston The idea is that
a general demonstration on that day
all over the country, would give pecu-
liar emphasis to the proceedings OF
that gathering. Undoubtedly the local
organizations will act upon this sugges-
ton. and the demands for civilization
and humanity of the speakers at the
Boston congress Will be sounded
throughout the land,
The gathering in Boston referred to,
is the thirteenth international peace
congress, to which large English and
French delegations are expected, as
well as delegates from other countries,
Great results are anticipated from this
conference. And not without cause
For America has taken the lead In this
greatest Of all human efforts at prog
ress from a state Of barbarism And
American citizens will remain true to
the principles that underlie this move
ment, as long as they are true to their
own constitution and government.

GETTING WEAK HEARTED.

where every citizen is expected 20 bear
his share of the burden Of mllItarism,
not only IN the shape Of taxes, but in
the form Of uniforms, arms ana bar
rack life. Germany requires all It's
young men, IL they are physically
strong, to perform military service. The
spread Of heart trouble IL therefore, a
calamity to which the attention of the
nation is speedily called, Germany is

probable that doctors will find any

the same cause. Clergymen are now

this belief he was ruthlessly criticised

BAD JOURNALISM.

War news are really scarce, both from

source. or another, sensational journals
are kept supplied with alleged news.

buy It under the pretense that he wants

We take the following from the

At last the great Calvin Cobb has
broken into the Mormon game other
wise than through the editorial columns
OF his paper, the Boise statesman. Mr..
Cobb went down to Washington the
other day, and when they began TO
grind out front column stories OF the
Smoot investigation Mr.. Cobb took his
seat In the witness box and proceeded 10
tell how the Mormons play politics IN
Idaho. He told the senatorial inyesu-
eating committee that Idaho people
were pOWcrless politically because both
political parties trim for Mormon sup
port He stated that q Mormon dele
cation waited on Hon. W. u. Borah
during the time Of his candidacy be-
fore the legislature for United states
senator, and demanded that BOrah place
himself on record with regard TO SEN
ator Shoots retention In the senate.
At this junction an objection was made
and Mr.. cobb did not have the oppor-
tunty 10 say that MI Burah turned
down the MormIns and refused To
promise anything and that his defeat
for the senatorship followed almost I'M
mCdiately a contention which Mr.. cobb
always makes. Mr. Borah comes back
at the free and easy manner which Mr..
Cobb employs In assocating the Nor
mon strength with Mr., Boran'' deteat.
A day or two after MI Cobbs story as
reclteu before the board OF inquiry was
given publicity by the Associated Press,
hlr Borah came out with a signed COM
munlcatlon I'm Mr. Cobbs own paper re-
buklng the editor FOR his insstence that
Il was Mormon influence which kept
Mr. Borah's hand from clutching the
senatorial plum, that plum which at
times seemed so near to fall within his
grasp Mr. Borah states that Mr.. Cobb's
view Of the situation was never rec
ognlzed at the time of his defeat, that
when the break came there were mole
Gentle than Mormon votes going to

had reason TO expect had come to him
