at all times be ready for war. Their
idea is TO labor steadily for the pre-
vention of war and for the substitution
of reason for force in the settlement
OF differences between nations.
1t cannot be denied that sentiment
In favor of arbitration is growing and
that many difficulties between nations
have of late been settled where for
merly the only thought would have
been a resort to violence. Yet what
power shall compel arbitration II the
nations Involved are not disposed to
submit to arbitration? II the peace
congress were given the power to de-
eide all quarrels how is it to enforce
that power If persuasion fails? Even
to compel arbitration might require
the force of arms.
What court Of arbitration could
have averted the civil war? The very
persons who We're the organizers of the
peace society in America-Charles
Sumner, William Lloyd Garrison, Julia
Ward Howe and others-were those
most prominent in shaping the events
which brought on the civil war NO
one would accuse them of insincerity
or even of self contradiction. There
was nothing for them to do but to ac-
cept the brutality of facts and make
war in order to secure peace.
Undoubtedly there iss at the present
time an almost universal desire for
peace, but the question is, upon what
terms? Russia would like peace with
honor, but how is she to get 1t without
further fighting? England would like
peace but her territorial strength
must be maintained, peace or no peace
bh1 so of all the rest.
None the less the peacemakers are
right in doing what thew can to Gre
ate universal sentiment in favor OF
cinciliation and of deferring to reason
rather than resorting to firearms. 1t is
true. creating public sentiment is slow
work, but once created its efficiency is
almost omnipotent.

says the Cedar Rapids Gazette. "There

"The question as to whether the
democratic party was to remain true
to its ancient standards, or to become
a socialistic organization pure and
simple. has not yet been determined"
says the Cedar Rapids Republican.
Socialists like Darrow are still with
in the Democratic party, and though
worsted to a certain degree in this last
convention, they are by no means
without hope"
"The Republican party" says the
Sioux City Journal, turns with con-
fidence from the confused mouthings
