The Presidents Trip.

The President is on his way
through the South He will have a
delightful time and the Southerners
Will be charmed to meet him per-
sonally. The people Of all sections
of the country should know the
Chief Executive and he should be-
come personally acquainted with
them and with their pursuits and
conditions.
Undoubtedly he will have as fine
train accommodations as can be had:
but what contrast between his posi-
ton as a mere passenger on a spe-
cial train and his position when he
steps aboard a Government vessel to
return home! What an argument
for providing him with a train Of
cars, kind of White House on
wheels, owned by the General Gov
ernment, in which he could visit
every section of the country without
impoverishing himself or accepting
favors from the railways.

Only by war can the hardy peoples
quickly overcome the cunning and
oppression of those momentarily in
social advance over them, and as
long as the preservation of the race
is of more Importance than the lux
ury and success OF some of it's in
dividuals the Power that directs evo-
luton will permit and direct war as
one Of the chief forces In the forward
! movement of humanity.
War is frightful, dreadful, horrible.
There is nothing IN all the diseased
dreams of an eternal hell more ter
rible than the actualities of war.
nothing but the idea of lasting for
ever 1t should be restrained. II
should be limited. it's powers should
be curbed. But. until the nations
shall have worked out their internal
ferments; until the clashing inter-
ests of classes and individuals shall
have adjusted themselves to the con-
ditions Of human existence; until the
altruism Of men like Mr.. Carnegie
can be possible before their predatory
instincts have been satisfied, peace
Will not only be impossible, but i'm
prope,
Mr.. Carnegie uses the words SOL
diers in their heinous work" Sol
diers and their heinous work made
the altruism of Mr.. Carnegie pos
sioie; it Is due 70 the heinous work
Oh men like Washington and Grant
that we owe the present condition
OF this country. There is a lot of
heinous work yet to be done before
the soldier can be done away with.
The dream of the thousand years of
peace Is beautiful-we hope it may
soon come true, for we would like to
live in the only condition Of society
that could make such peace possible.

The Difference.

The railway rate problem may not
be more clear than 1t was. but it is

is narrowing to a difference of
opinion as to the advisability

the establishment of a special court
whose rulings would be reviewed
very much as the decisions of our
circuit courts are now.
AS thus simplified the attitude of
the opposing factors may be better
understood and the care of our law
makers appreciated. Shall we have
commission empowered to fix rates
which will be Immediately effective
and continue in operation until re-
versed by the Supreme Court? Or
shall we have a railway court. the
enect of whose decisions, on appeal.
would be set aside until affirmed?
There is a wide distinction between
these two methods of getting at the
same thing-the regulation of rail
rates-and there would be a very
important difference In actual prac-
tice.

Heinous Work of Soldiers.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie Is to be COM
mended for his labors In behalf of
international peace. The movement
for the limitation, If not the cessa-
ton, OF war that finds its local habi-
tation at The Hague is along the
lines all men would like progress 10
take; 1t should be helped in all pos
sible ways-and while helping 10 we
should not forget that peace is of
much lower value than freedom.
The world can have peace when
ever peace becomes the most impor-
tant state for the happiness of its
peoples: but universal peace will be
the reward of a very much higher
type Of humanity; there needs be a
vastly more moral and better en-
lightened collection of individuals
than have thus far fretted their little
lives out in this world before we
can really have peace.
Humanity is not now, and never
has been. fitted for universal peace.
The progress of the race has been
marked by the wreck of empires,
which had become tyrannical as they
grew more bulky and more weak.
and the advance of the less cultiyat-
ed but more virile peoples over the
ruins OF their former oppressors.

and Is not afraid to go after the re-

vfgor as he does the tin horn gamblers

they did. Now. this did not feaze the
