For World Peace.

1t cannot be doubted that the meetings
held yesterday In this city In behalf of the
proposed arbitration treaty with England
produced excellent results. Such a gather
ing of men of all lines of endeavor. repre-
sentins the army, the navy. the law. the
clergy. business. the professions. political
activity, cannot well assemble for any fixed
purpose without arresting the national and
even the interna uonal thought. Such SEN
timents as those expressed yesterday can
not be uttered under conditions insuring
publicity without deepening the conviction
that modern society Is outgrowing war as
a means OF adjustment.
The old days of Incorporate, unreasoning
belief in the arbitrament of the sword have
fairly well passed. Men have become far
more rational In their patriotic outlook.
They see their duties not only to themselves
and to their immediate communities, but to
the world at large as we'll They realize that
modern inventions have broken down state
barriers and extended mans enterprises to
the traditional ENDS Of the earth" SO in
innate and complex has become the general
social organization today that a disturb
ance cannot happen In any quarter, how
ever remote, without in some degree affect.

Colombia.

In this Panama business two things are
reasonably certain. Colombia will not go to
war with the United States unless encour-
aged to do so by the enemies of the canal
within the United States. If the Colon
bans are led to believe that hostile de-
monstration on their part will embarrass
President Roosevelt here at home 1t is not
unlikely that they will make one. If they
should so move, the President, by every
consideration of his nature, and official
duty, will bring them up with a round turn.
And in doing SO he will have the country
behind him. The death of a single man

litical game, would arouse this people to a
pitch which would end the public career of
everybody in the slightest degree RESPONSE

constantly in progress. In this new order
peace has assumed new Importance, dis
tinct value, beyond the old estimate. War
has come to be regarded by the majority
of men as an evil. Not even il 1t now con-
sidered a necessary evil.
The war game IL now more costly than
ever before. War Is more deadly. its en-
gines are more complicated and expensive,
and its consequences more paralyzing to the
resources of the participants. Selhshness,
apart from justice, dictates better method
of adjustment. Armies doubtless will al
ways exist. guarantees Of peace In their
best aspect. but they need not be all-absorb-
ing Of the energies and the treasure OF q
people If the threat of possible war Is re-
duced to a minimum. The means expended
during the past fifty years In Europe in
preparation for the long dreaded general
conflict. If expended upon peaceful measures
of enlightenment or production, would have
revolutionized the continent socially.
The immediate project in hand directly
affects only England anu the United States
But the moral effect of such an agreement
between two of the greatest of world pow
ers would unauestionably be the fastening
of the day of general arbitration. The
Hague court stands open for all the trou-
bles of all the world and the powers sigma
tory to the articles constituting 1t are
agreed to send to that court all suitable
questions. But it is far from serving as
guarantee Of peace. Else would 1t now be
invoked to adjust the Manchurian dispute
without the long-drawn threat of war be-
tween Japan and Russia.
So tbs work in which the men who met
here yesterday are engaged is of Worldwide
significance and Importance. 1t is a work
for universal peace through the force OF the
example which, 1t Is hoped, may be set up
by England and the United States Inc
possibilitl of the enterprise are great
enough to warrant indefa.igable endeavors.

Reviving q Boom.

Observation-Disclosures in a spirit of fun or
earnestness does not appear-is reviving
the Ingalls, presidential DOOM. NJ. e. Ingalls,
Of Cincinnati, president of the Big Four
railroad.
This boom, 1t win be remembered, was
born at the time Mr.. Ingalls, ran for mayor
of his town. We were told then of a little
scheme for duplicating in his case the for
tunes of Mr.. Cleveland. That is to say,
Mr.. ingalls, was to be elected mayor of Gin
cinnati. pass from that office to the govern
orship of Ohio, and from that to the presi-
dency of the United States. A promising
feature of the program as advertised was
that when the national stage of the game
was reached Mr.. Cleveland would throw his
influence to the Ohio man and thereby
strengthen his eastern support
But cruel fate nipped that scheme in the
bud Mr.. Ingalls, did not reach the first
goal He was the worst beaten man who
had ever run for office in Cincinnati. 1t
was Tom Johnson affair on a local scale.
His opponents majority was so large people
wondered why the vote had not been made
unanimous. Then, as was thought the
ingalls, presidential boom died the death.
But not so. 1t seems, for here are good peo-
pie talking about the man again, and ask
ing the country to believe that he is of the
White House size and quality.
The revival must be due to the speech
Mr.. ingalls, made the other night, in which
. he voiced such extreme patience on the sub
ject of an isthmian canal. He Is In no
hurry at all about that Enterprises will

The deliverance had the anti-canaI ring
to 1t. 1t sounded like the syren of loco
motive. And people may very well ask
themselves. II the canal is to become ma
tional issue. either something that has
been blocked. or something, that the
President has put through by methods that
his opponents denounce as irregular, why
not nominate railroad president against

St. Louis Chosen.

New York lost we are told, through the
fear entertained that ticket nominated
there would be stamped a little too dis
tfnctlv with Tammany and Wall street. 1t
would be enough the New Workers were
assured to permit Tammany to name the
man and Wall street to support him. But,
for appearances sake, let the convention be
held elsewhere. Let something be thrown
to popular sentiment. New York saw the
point. and secretly agreed that 1t was well
taken Tammanys fight was for appear

ing Mayor McClelaf's kilograms and Mr.
McCarren's speech were well worded, but

town. would be packed in Mr.. Hearsts ia
vor The New York congressman owns
newspaper in the windy city, and is bend
ing every energy there and elsewhere to
capture the presidential nomination. What
doomed large in the minds eye of the anti
Hearst contingent. therefore. was the town
of Chicago plastered to the cock lofts or
its skyscrapers with Hearst posters and
pictures. its streets filled with hired Hearst
shouters marching in columns, and the con-
vention itself helpless in the hands OF
knockers-down and pullers-in toiling and
sweating in the Hearst behalf. The bare
suggestion was overpowerng. and the COM
mittee under its influence said nay.
ST. Louis won. Are any particular inter-
ests advanced by the choice? We need not
consider the Cockrell boom, because the
Missouri senator, strong as he is in the re-
spect of his party and the country, is not
presidential possibility. But maybe we
should not forget that 1t was at st. Louis
last spring that the Cleveland boom was
launched. The ex-President, who had come
to town to participate in some exercises
connected with the big show, was acclaimed
so loudly along the line of march that the
news spread all over the country. Some
people insisted that there was nothing po-
litical in the demonstration. Others held
that it was plant" arranged by Presi
dent Francis. who had sat at Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet table, and would be glad of
an opportunity to resume his old seat. Still
others proclaimed that 1t was political. but
spontaneous. and that 1t foretold Mr. Cleve
lands recall to leadership.

Mr.. Clevelands friends are hoping that the

thusiasm in ST. Louis help his boom along

That the Japanese government has al

Labor Convention to Nominate Hearst
From the New York Herald.

It is an open secret that Mr.. Hearst in
tends to have himself nominated in a labor
convention which will meet in advance of
the democratic national convention. The
friends of the other candidates instantly de-
cided when this plan became clear, that
their personal comfort would be more in
sured by going to some other city, even ii
that city was in the torrid climate frinsing
the corn belt. The excuse given for oppos-
ing Chicago was that the city was torn
with labor troubles, and that the convention
might be attended with scenes of riot.

ENTIcINe PRICES OF GINSENG.

From the Southern Agriculturist.
When the farmer sees in the daily pa
pers ginseng quoted at So per pound, he
is inclined to think it easily grown and
that he viii plant a small plot the next
season. There are persons who are
growers of ginseng and advertising the
seed roots, and no doubt realizing large
profits therefrom, but they have not put
upon the market many roots that Will
do to send to China. Not many thousand
pounds have gone abroadLand when the
cultivated ginseng Is put upon the mar
ket the price viii fall down TO half or
maybe one-fourth of the present price.
Here Is the danger that the Agrieulturist
warns the farmers against. One county
in Tennessee devoted to ginseng will glut
the Chinese demand. Don't go wild on
this plant. but produce a few roots and
experiment cautiously, and IL 1t proves
a success then you can expand, knowing
what you are doing.
