Roosevelt Asks for Peace.

Washington, June 9.-An identic note,
tho text of which, by authority of the
President, was made public late to-night
at the White House by Secretary Loeb,
has been forwarded to the governments
of Russia and Japan by President Roose-
welt. In the interest of humanity the
President urges the warning ma
tions to conclude peace. 1t is suggested
by the President that the negotiations
for peace be conducted directly and OK.
clusively" between the belligerent ma
tions The note indicates the Presidents
belief that an intermediary may not be
necessary to effect conclusive negotia-
tions, but likewise expresses the Presi-
dents Willingness to do all that he may
do to prom ote the preliminary arrange
nents for time and place of the meet
ing of representatives of the Russian and
Japanese governments. The following
son June Sth the following dispatch
was sent by the President, through dip
lOmatic channels, to the Japanese and
Russian governments: The President
feels that the time has come when in the
interest of all mankind he must en-
deavor to see if it is not possible to
bring to an end the terrible and lamenta-
BILE conflict now being waged. With both
Russia and Japan the United States has
will. 1t hopes for the welfare and pros
perity of each, and it feels that the pro-
gress of the world is set back by tn, war
between these two great nations. Tho
President accordingly urges the Russian
and Japanese governments not only for
their own sakes, but in the interest of
the civilized world, to open direct nogo
tiations for peace with one another. The
President suggests that these peace ne
gotiatons be conducted directly and ex-
clusively between the belligerents; in
other words, that there may be a meeting
of Russian and Japanese plenipotentia-
ries or delegates without any interme-
diary, in order to see II it is not possible
for these representatives of the two
powers TO agree to terms of peace. The
President earnestly asks that the (Rus-
sian) (Japanese) government do now
agree to such a meeting, and is asking
the (Japanese) (RussiaD) government
likewise to agree. While the President
does not feel that any intermediary
should be called in in respect to tho
peace negotiations themselves, he Is en-
tirely willing to do what he properly can
If the two powers concerned feel that his
services will be of aid in arranging tho

connected with the college, after which
he will resume his regular chair in that

Times have changed wonderfully, how
ever, with regard to the maker of "moun-
tain dew" Years ago it was life and
death matter--a simple question Of who
got the drop, whether the hated "reve-
nue." paid the penalty of his intrusion
on their business operations, or tue
"moonshiner" was brought to Jail per
forated by bullets. To-day there is a
show of peace between these two fac
tors in court circles of upper Carolina
not that the officers are derelict in their
duties, but by reason of the fact that
there is greater respect Tor law and
human life. The moonshiner, in effect,
says, 'Pve got still; find it if you can,
and then catch mo ii you can," and he
knows that the officers will take him
sooner or later. 1t is q game of chance,
at which he plays we'll. and finds plea
sure, il not profit, in the risk and excite
ment of the gamo. AS rule, these
and 1t is not infrequent that we see the
deputy and his prisoner reign up in front
of the commissioners Office chatting
gaily and good-naturedly discussing the
incidents of the chase.
1t is question now what effect the
enforcement of this rule in regard to
close confinement will have. 1t is to be-
hoped that it will reduce tho number Of
prisoners and decrease the illicit whis-
key business. The sentiment among the
residents of the hills is rapidly growing
against whiskey, and finer lot of honest
and hospitable citizens cannot be found
than in the mouutai ms of Oconee. Only
now and then we find the "moonshiner,"
and he, too, will give you hearty well
come; and the best he has got in his
home is as free to the stranger passing
his way as the blessings of the hills are
to him. Only-don't hunt too closely
through the laurel thioket, or along the
craggy hillsides 'down by the branch" I"
In other words, mind your own business,
and you have friend as staunch and
true as any you will find.

preliminaries as to the time and place of
meeting. But IL even these preliminaries
can be arranged directly between the
two powers, or in any other way, the
President will be glad as his sole pur-
pose is to bring about a meeting which
the whole civilized world will pray may
result in peace.'"
The tOvegoing note was forwarded to
the Russian and Japanese governments
yesterday afternoon. 1t is rendered
especially significant by the fact that it
was prepared aud sent only after assur-
ances had been received both from Toxic
and st. Petersburg that such proposi-
ton would be welcomed. While both
Count Cassini, tho Russian ambassador,
and Minister Takahira, of Japan were
cognizant of the nature of the note, it
was not sent to their respective govern
ments through them. 1t was cabled by
direction of the President to ST. Peters
burg and Toxic and there delivered di-
rectly to the Russian and Japanese gov
ernments respectively by Ambassador
Meyer and Minister Griscom.
a formal reply to the note may not be
received for several days, but, as already
made clear, informal assurances that il
would be welcomed already are at hand
In view of the significant character of the
document and of the attitude toward il
which both Russia and Japan have as
sumed, it is regarded, in official and dip
lomatic circles, as the first firm and deci
sive step toward ultimate peace.
When President Roosevelt left Wash
ington to-day on a two days trip to Vir
ginia he was confident that the result OF
the international negotiations for peace
in the far east had been successful anC
that the final blow in the Russo japanese
war had been struck. So near are the
two warning powers to amicable contact
at this moment that in all Washington
circles, official and diplomatic, mere
hopefulness has given way to notable op
| timism.
