The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1905-12-09


The Hague conference and the sub
ject of arbitration generally is treated
of at considerable length. and in this
connection an explanation is given Of
this governments connection with the
coming conference in the following
words:
The first conference Of nations held at
The Hague in 1899. being unable to dis
pose Of all the business before it. recon-
mended the consideration and settlement
of a number OF important questions by
5another conference to be called subse-
quently and at an early date. These
questions were the following; a. The
rights and duties Of neutrals; () the
Limitation Of the armed forces on land
and sea, and Of military budgets; () the
use OF new types and calibers of military
and naval guns; CD the invlolability Of
private property at sea in times of war;
() the bombardment OF ports, titles and
villages by naval forces. In October,
1904, at the instance Of the Interparlia-
mentary union, which, at a conference
held in the United States y attended
by the lawmakers Of 10 different nations
had reiterated the demand for a second
conference of nations, / issued invitations
to all the powers slgnatory to The Hague
convention TO send delegates to such a
conference and suggested that II be again
held at The Hague. In its note of De-
cember 16, 1904. the United States govern
ment communicated to the representa-
tives Of foreign governments its belief
that the conference could be best ar
ranged under the provisions Of the pres
ent Hague treaty.
From all the powers acceptance was re-
ceived, coupled in some cases with the
nondition that we should wait ,tptu tho
end Of the war then waging between Rus
STA and Japan. The Emperor of Russia,
Immediately after the treaty OF peace
which 50 happily terminated this war,
in a note presented to the president on
September 10, through Ambassador Rosen.
took the initiative in recommending that
the conference be now called. The United
States government in response expressed
its cordial acquiescence and stated that
IL would, as a matter Of course, take part
in the new conference and endeavor Il

Domestic Economics.

The man whose thrifty choice Of a
wife Is chrontcled in the Rochester
Herald will doubtless make a success
In the business Of life. His talents
destine him for a wider sphere than
that of a simple farmers life. He
was an Alabama youth, and courted
two girls at the same time. One was
Sally: the other was Mary.
Sally was a very fine girl, thrifty
industrious, and Of a domestic turn.
She was not SO pretty as some other
girls, but James, the swain in ques'
tion had courted her in his early
wears. When he had prospered and
earned q little money, he became In
fatuated with Mary, sweet, pretty, but
always idle. The nelghbors at first
were puzzled by the double courtship
but after a while they decided thai
Mary was the favored one.
Suddenly James married Sally.
The Methodist preacher who per
formed the ceremony had a little Of
the curiosity which possesses all man
kind.
James" he said, 1--WE all though
YOU were going to marry Mary.
"Yes," replied James, but l though
n married Mary should have to en-
gage Sally to wait on her. If l married
Sally she would wait on herself.

ivory Difficult to Judge.

The next time you have a billiard
r,a in your hand and expect to run
tbe game out just stop and ponder
aver the age Of the pieces Of ivory
which are rolling tantalizingly about
tbe table. That white ball which has
Inst received too much English" be-
hinged to an old elephant who was
wandering through the Congo jungles
when Napoleon was still alive. Those
halls cost from So to $40 apiece. Study
the history of the billiard ball and
their case and you will have more re-
spect for the game.
The elephants tusk which is large
enough to furnish the product for a
good billiard ball must be at least
twenty-five years old. If it is fifty
years old, so much the better. The
tusk Of the elephane grows much like
an oak tree, and the grain of the ivory
looks not unlike the grain Of a. sea-
soned piece of oak lumber. If it is
"green" the ivory will shrink just as
the wood shrinks. If it is too dry
It will "chip" in the same fashion.
The buying Of billiard Dalls at best
Is a gamble. A ball may have the
right weight, the proper gloss and ap-
pear to be well seasoned, but for
some unaccountable reason will chip
off and become totally ruined by a
fall on the floor. Buy a dozen balls
like a setting Of Plymouth Rock eggs,
three or four balls will last for years,
while the others will have to be re-
placed again and again.

aoF' 'PENNYPAcKER be corrected nv
having law that shall be uniform In
an parts OF the United States. Then
tnere VIII be no more trips to Dako-
"a a SIX months residence, and d.
Vorces granted that are really crimes
against laws of morality.
Inc leader In this important fight
Is Gov Samuel W. Pennypacker, of
pennsylvania. At a recent session of
the Pennsylvania State Legislature an
appropriation Of $4,000 was made for
the purpose Of having the Governor
call Tor national congress, consist
ing OF three men from each State. to
be appointed by the Governors. These
are to draw up a uniform law which is
afterWard to be adopted by the Legis-
1atureS OF each State. In this way a
UNIFORM law can be secured, and at
the same time each State retains its
right to regulate its own laws on the
subject OF matrimony.
The bill was introduced into the
Legislature by Senator William @.
Sproul, of Delaware County. Gov.
Pennypacker knew all Its provisions
In advance, and was the more In favor
OF them because President Roosevelt
IN message to Congress has thought
the matter Of sufficient moment to de-
vote to 1t considerable amount OF
discussion, and to recommend action
to secure uniform laws.
In his speeches and arguments Gov
Pennypacker contends with great
force that the laws should be so ar,
ranged that no person could obtain q
divorce without very grave cause, and
that above all it should not be posi-
Bile to get In legal way in O for
eign State that which is not legally
possible In ones commonwealth. He
points out the farce Of letting persons
take up a six months domicile in an
other commonwealth and says thai
the first provision of the new law
should be a strict order that the di
vorce must be granted in the State II
which the applicants lived. He shows
ccnVincingly that the evil Of divorce
has been permitted to grow until i
has become a national menace.
"a few years ago." he says, ''ther'
were unhappy marriages, as there will
always be, but the divorce was com
paratively rare, for people considered
marriage a serious thing, a tie tina
could only be dissolved for the mos
fragrant causes. That a change ha
come over the general public is due II
the first place to the publicity givel
to the decency -defying divorces Of tn
rich. Others have felt that If the rlcl
Ldare quickly and openly cast off tie
that begin to bore, they could do like
wise. As a result, divorce Is extend
, ing all over the country, and the goo'
effect of preventive legislation in som
States Is nullifed in others, where dl
1orce is granted to all who apply"
Numerous messages from more thai
score Of States have been receive
by Gov. Pennypacker in reply to hi
call to the different Governors to unit
In concerted action for the preserve
! ton of the purity Of the America
home. Gov. Dawson, of West Virgin
la, writes: II am thoroughly in syn
