WHERE WAR STILL RACED.
Something for the Correspondents to
Do When Nations Were
at Peace.

Even at the early dawn of Utopian civ
ilization it became evident that the era
of universal peace had arrived, says the
New York Sun. The nations discovered
that the great gun had been invented that
would send a projectile through any
armor, while, on the other hand, the
armor had been invented that would re-
Bist the attack of any gun. The submarine
boat had been tested that would destroy
any battleship, that is, if not caught by
the submarine destroyer, which in its turn
might succumb to the submarine de-
stroyer-destroyer.
Quite naturally this deplorable condi-
ton of worldwide peace frightened the
Amalgamated Conclave of War Core
spondents, whose members found their
occupation gone. Accordingly at meet
ing the president arose and presented a
resolution for DISARMAMENT.
There are no more conflicts. Cruelty
and carnage is thing of the past. We
might as well go into other professions,
he said.
just then Richard Chefoo O'Higgins
arose and objected in speech that proved
war correspondents to be still necessary.
NO carnage, no confcts!" he roared.

write up woman's suffrage meetings, col
lege hazing and the Brooklyn bridge crush

Senator Nelson w. Aldrich was trav-

place at Warwick awhile ago. and, as
the train was somewhat crowded, he
sat down beside bright little girl OF
about eight years, who went to and
from the school on the line five times
a week. She was a pretty, blue-eyed
fair-haired little thing, and the sena-
tor, by way of pleasant conversation
remarked: What pretty eyes you

"Fuu glad am the gods have made thee
blind!'
Thou answerest, when I seek to tell thee
How that thy coming hath revealed to me
Wonder on wonder; how in thee find
The fame of Beautys immortality
Lighting the Garkiing pathway Of mankind
Yet, I am blind, as one who, in the night
That hides the valley, from a mountain

Gazing enthralled on some god-throning

Dreams the old dreams, imperishabIy

Whose eyes that they may worship from

The gods have stricken with eternal light.
Ny soul hath pierced radiant ecstasy
That wells thy soul from all mems sight,

AS one by sudden light from heaven
amazed,
Unblinded. on the Utmost mystery;
And, though the shrines Of all the gods
be RACED,
Shall worship ever, blind to all but thee.

NEW YORK. March 21-District
Attorney Jerome in expressing his
opinion as to the proper manner OF
controlling the liquor traffic in New

ers' association today. advocated the
opening of saloons during certain hours

liquor on Sunday was the proper way
to carry out the divine commandment.
He believed il the practical way of get
ting the best results under prevailing
conditions.
Mr.. Jerome's position was attacked
by Rev. T. c. Iglehart. When the dis
trict attorney found the laws against
gambling insufficient he said. prompt
and effective action was taken through
the legislature. If il was possible TO
secure legislation against gambling
and enforce il he saw no reason why
the liquor question could not be han
died in the same way. He declared

Gift From Rockefeller

BOSTON, Mass March 21-Congre-

ton and various sections of New Eng
land have forwarded to the American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions a protest against the accept
ance by the board of a gift OF Sf00. 900
from John d. Rockefeller. The peu-
tion. which was prepared by a COM
mittee chosen at a meeting OF the
clergymen. protests against the ac-
eeptance Of the gift on the ground
that the Standard Oil company, Of
which Mr.. Rockefeller is the head,
stands before the public under re-
peated and recent formidable indict-
ments in specific terms for methods
which are morally iniquitous and So
cially destructive" and that the ac-
ceptance of such a gift involved the
constituents of the board in a relation
implying honor toward the donor and
subjects the board to the charge OF
ignoring the moral issues involved"
The protest concludes:
I'VE therefore protest against any
action by which our church may even
seem to be compromised. and we plead
with the officers of the board to de-
clined the gift or return II If IL has
been accepted"

whiteman Says He is Much Abused

BUFFALO. n. Y. March 21-At the

charge of grand larceny witnesses
testified to the arrest of White
man at Dansville, in January
last. Whitsman took the stand and
besides telling the history of the case
in which he now stands indicted. made
an indirect plea for sympathy on the
ground that he has been bounded by
private detectives. that he had been
convicted once and then only for
misdemeanor, and that he was "a much
abused man. His evidence indicated
that the defense Will make a strong
point of the inability of the prosecu-
ton TO prove that Whiteman was in
Buffalo on July 2. the date upon which
the alleged fraudulent draft was de-
posted with the Fidelity Trust COM
pany. He fatty denied a greater part
of the testimony given by Joseph
Boothman. who has turned states evil
