Los Angeles, CAL, May 20. - (Spe.
cial.) - Next to the election of three
bishops, the most important feature
of the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference yesterday was the report of the
commission on international and in
dustrial peace. The report, which fol-
lows, caused sensation:
"Decency and in decency are waging
fierce battle in our state and national
politics. Vice, thinly veneered with
virtue, has put nearly every great city
in our country under the control of
corrupt political bosses. The rights
franchises of the people are given away
or bartered for personal gain. Voters
are bought and sold as articles of COM
merce in the market places.
Vote Buyer Honored.
"The successful buyer of votes braz-
emily takes his seat in legislative, ju-
dicial and executive place and becomes
the maker, the construer, and execu-
tor of our laws. Heartless combina-
tions of capital, organized as trusts,
control, raise and lower at will the
breed great unrest. Some of oul
most noted capitalists and fnanciers
with cunning craft, have devised and
palmed off upon the unwary worthless
schemes as legitimate enterprises.
Difference Between Robbers.
Plants worth a few thousands dol
lars have been watered into millions
by the device of first mortgage bonds
and preferred and common stocks, fit
ly termed undigested securities, which
have been unloaded upon the people
in schemes of gigantic robbery, the
schemers taking care only in violations
