SEEKS UNIVERSAL PEACE.
Gear to Call Conference at The Hague
All Nations Are to Be
Invited.

st. Petersburg. Sept 19.-Empero.
Nicholas again appears before the
World as promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japa-
EeSa war over, and even before the
peace treaty has bsen ratified, than his
majesty issues invitations to a second
peace conference at The Kayue. That
the emperor has done so was learned
Monday from source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as to its authenticity
1t is officially announced that chs
Husslan government proposes to ad-
dress the foreign powers with view
to the holding of a second peace con
ference at The Hague" but it is
known that negotiations preceding this
announcement that the government;
proposed to address the powers
were entered into especially with tbs
United States and we're conducted with
the greatest secrecy. there being not
the slightest inkling that Russia con.
templsted anything of the kind.
There is strong reason to believe thai
the news even of the intention of the
Russian government would not be
given out unless invitations had al
ready been sent to the powers and, pos
sibly, that their answers had been re
ceived. In this connection an inter.
esting question arises as to how the
invitation was communicated to Japar
in view of the lack of diplomatic re-
lations, but the invitation may be de
layed until such relations have been
resumed, or it may have been forward
ed through the United States.
Oyster Bay. N. Y, Sept 19.-It car
be stated authoritatively that Presi
dent Roosevelt will leave the step fol
the call of a second Hague conference
to the car. He already has expressed
his desire for a peace conference and
will heartily indorse the czars sugges
ton, but believes that the latter. as
the founder of the first congress
should take the initiative.

STATE OFFICIAL oUSTED,
Auditor sherrick, of Indiana, Removed
by Gov. Hanly for Illegal Use
Of State Funds.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 16.-David
E. Sherrick, who was Thursday ousted
by Gov. Hanly from the Office of aud
itor of state, was formally arrested at
nine o'clock Friday morning, charged
with embezzlement of the states funds.
Judge Whallon postponed the hearing
as to the amount of Sherrick's bond
until two o'clock in the afternoon,
when his bond was fixed at $4,000.
The $4,000 bond was signed by the
Marion trust company and dozen
citizens, whose aggregate wealth runs
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Sherrick at once left the court
room with number of friends.
In the order which resulted in the
virtual removal of Sherrick. Gov. Han
ley charged that the auditor had been
guilty of "a plain and inexcusable vio-
lation Of the law and a gross betrayal
Of public trust" in investing and loan
ing funds belonging to the state to the
amount of $145.000. This sum, the gov
ernor alleges. was misused, having been
invested for private purposes.
Investigation of the securities which
were placed in the hands of the govern
or tends to show that they are of suffi-
cient value to protect the state. if taken
with the 100000 bond of the American
Surety company.
Warren Bigler, the new auditor ap-
pointed by Gov. Hanly, took the oath
of office Friday afternoon.
Sherrick is defiant. He said: 81
loaned Gov Hanly $3.50 with which to
make his race for governor, and it was
state funds. He was quite willing to
accept an accommodation from me
then, and he must have known at the
time that it was state money he was
using. 1t is not the only favor l have
done him at his solicitation in times
past. But. Gov. Hanly has proven that
he can cheerfully sacrifice the men who
have benefited him when all he can
possibly gain is a little cheap noto.

success is scored at the polls. In
that view of the case the platform,
which the Times commends to
Judge Wells, is a good and suffi-
Gent one. But Judge Wells will
not be content with a mere decla-
ration that anybody could make,
when he comes before the people
as a candidate for Governor.
Nobody knows or believes this
statement more thoroughly than
the Times knows and believes it.
Wells is a strong man, IL all the
expression means. He is a man of
conviction because he is a student
of history and economies. He is
a patriot in the substantial rather
than in the sentimental sense of
that term, because he knows what
policies of government should
obtain in Texas, and has the ability
and the courage 10 advocate them.
Never fear but that Judge Wells
will i'll due time announce a plat
form with the ring of the true
metal in it.-Current Issue.

Great sritain's Loss by Emigration.

During the half century from
1853 to 1908 over 100000 peo-
pie emigrated from the British isles,
and of this immense number the
great majority went to swell the
population of the United States.
Happily in quite recent years the
tide of emigration has set in more
strongly toward the Dominion of
Canada. But even last year $4,000
people from these islands entered
the United States, carrying with
them at least million sterling in
hard cash and in all probability
more than twice that amount

THE Laredo Times IS an unfail
ing advocate of brevity and clarity
of speech. For instance it expects
the platform of Hon. James B.
Wells to consist of the eight words:
IF elected I will be Governor of
Texas" Obviously, if a man is
elected he will be Governor, unless
he drops dead on the way to
Inauguration; but is the declaration
quoted sufficient to constitute a
platform? Our valued contempt
rary evidently wrote in facetious
vein, albeit it is ardently support
ing Judge Wells candidacy.
However, we agree in the sugges-
ton that platforms with a null
tiplicity of planks are dangerous
things from which to solicit the
votes OF citizens who know quite
as much about what they need as
the candidates know. A long or
wide platform, the flooring of
which is not well tougued, and
grooved and nailed together, is
likely to become quite as trouble
some and disastrous to its builder
as barb wire fence to a seersucker
suit. Such a platform keeps its
builder always explaining, lodging
or ducking and forever in disputa-
tious trim. Then again such plat
forms are rarely of utility after

night with excruciating pain, he
found his left eye lying on the
pillow, but with the aid of his rel
atives was able to put it back again,
the sight not being in any way af-
fected. If the patient leans for
ward the eye will also fall out, so
that the unfortunate man is in a
state of terror.
Sometimes it is the left and some
times the right eyeball which falls
out.-EX.
