turnout the world the peace of justice.
The peace of tyrannous terror, the T

craven weakness, the peace of injustice, all
these should be Stunned we shun UPRIGHT
Gus war; The goal to set before a
nation, the goal which should be set before all
mankind, is the attainment of the peace of
, justice, of the peace which comes when each
f nation is not merely safeguarded in it's own
rights, but scrupulousy recognizes and performs
it's duty toward others.
Until some method is devised by which

forcing respect for it's just rights in inter
national matters is the navy of the United

there be no halt in the work of upbuilding the
| American navy. There is more patriotic
duty before us a people than to keep the
| e
position.

Some of the anti-Clapp papers made
Clapp had not endorsed the Cooper bill, en-
larging the powers of the interstate commerce
and of them went far
AS to misrepresent matters and claim that

matter of fact Clapp is member of the senate
committee on interstate commerce. while the
bill is at the present time iu the hands of the
house committee and has not yet been re
ported out. The bill itself is meritorious one,
in that it aims to give the interstate COM
me, &c commission power to fxrates, but radi
cal bill should be given very careful tol-
s;deration. On Wednesday, Clapp defined his
position on the bill, which of course favor
