THE SECOND HAGUE CONFERENCE.

Following are references to this subject
in the platform and resolutions unan-
mously adopted at the 18th annual
meeting of the Lake Mohonk Conference
on international Arbitration, held az Mo-
honk Lake, ~ y, May 30th, to June LIST,
PLATFORM.
At the present time it is important that
public attention should be concentrated
upon the second Hague Conference soon
to be assembled We hope and believe
that the beneficial results Of the former
conference will be equalled and perhaps
surpassed by further deliberations, in
the land of Grotius. upon the principles
Of international law and the best methods
for the pacific settlement Of interna-
tional difficulties.
Especially we hope that the second
Hague Conference will elaborate and pro-
pose a plan by which like conferences
may be held at stated periods and that
in the intervals appropriate offices may
be maintained az the Hague, so that
these conferences may become a per-
manent and recognized advisory Con-
gress of the Nations.
A general arbitration treaty to be for
mulated by the Hague Conference is
lANoN NNrAlNhlN anu VIII AlAUAANaa AN
accepted by all or nearly all of the coun-
tries represented in the conference.
Among other subjects of immediate
Importance the many unsettled ques-
tions arising out Of maritime warfare, in
cluding the exemption Of private prop
erty from seizure at sea. and the neu-
tralization of ocean routes. are respect
fully commended 10 the consideration Of
the Hague Conference.
As the general restrictions Of arma-
ments can only be secured by concur
rent international action. unanimously
recommended by the British House Of
Commons, we earnestly hope that this
subject will receive careful and favorable
consideration.
While we shall welcome any action
taken lby the coming Hague Conference
| in the way of clearingly defining the right
and obligations of belligerents as 10 each
other and as TO neutrals; Of lessening the
! horrors OF war; and of giving increased
stability and protection to the Red Cross
! movement;it is our hope that the confer
ence will remember that it is conse-
! Grated to the great work Of ending as
! well as softening war and Of subiecting
the relations Of nations TO the dominion
Of law rather than force
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the 18th annual Lake

Trade In AutomohIles.

More than $4,000 900 worth of auto
mobiles will have been brought into the
country during the fiscal year which ends
with the present week, and more than
s3,0OOOOO worth exported during the
same time. Figures Of our foreign COM
merce in automobiles, as announced by
the Department of Commerce and Labor
through It's Bureau Of Statistics, show
the value Of automobiles imported in the
eleven months ending with May to have
been s3,502, Pa, and Of parts thereof,
S37S $3.50, while exports thereof during
the same months amounted TO 50 957 ,74s.
IL is apparent, therefore, that the figures
for the full fiscal year which ends with
Saturday Of this week will show more
than S4,0OO,O00 worth Of automobiles and
parts thereof imported and more than
S3,0OOOOO worth exported
Meantime the manufacture of auto
mobiles in the United States has amounted
to presumably more than S26 6,0OO,O 600
since the Bureau Of the Census has recently
issued a preliminary statement which
shows the value of automobiles manu-
featured in the United States in 1905 at
s26 6645,064. This figure includes amount
received for custom work and repairing
and value Of products other than auto
mobiles; but as it does not include auto
mobiles valued at $50 POS manufactured
in establishments engaged primarily in
the manufacture of other products, it
may probably be safely set down that the
value OF automobiles produced in the
United States approximates S26 600 600
and the imports S4,0OOOO0 and that out
of this total of S3O,OO0O 900 there was ex-
ported about s3OO0OOO worth.
The rapid increase in the use Of auto
mobiles is shown in a marked degree both
by the fgues of the Bureau of Statistics
and those OF the Bureau of the Census.
The value of automobiles manufactured
in 1900 is given by the census figures at
only S4,74S,0ll and in 1905, as above
indicated at S26645,O64 The Bureau
of Statistics figures will show approxi-
mately S4,O0O,OOO worth of automobiles
imported in the fiscal year 1906, against
less than S2500,OOO in 1905. about
81 500 600 in 1904, and about 81 900 900
in 1908

SONG OF THE MIGHTY.
Edmund Vance Cooke.

OF all the chairs of Church or State
Bench, woolsack, throne, or what YOU
will
It's written in the Book Of Fate
The high chair is the highest still.
Lolled in his office chair, there sits
The master of a thousand mills;
Men toll or rest as he permits;
Men fail or prosper as he wills.
Perched on the polished bench, where
strife
Cries to condemn OF pleads 10 save,
Sits one and blots the light from life,
Or mods another to the grave.
Squat in his place OF power behold
The monarch of a mighty land!
And dostinios are lightly told
Ioyed IN the hollow of his hand.
But over all and over each
Another sits, who must be reckoned;
The eternal woman comes TO teach
The first of men he is but second.
Yet hardly is her reign begun
lill she must learn as she has schooled;
For loi there comes the helpless one
And rules the ruler of the ruled.
For chairs Of Church. or seats Of State
Bench. woolsack, throne, or what you
will
Are only relatively great;
The high chair is the highest still

If B"rah is nominated for Senator
at Pocatello next week, don't be
surprised If Dubois refuses to accept
the nomination on the democratic
ticket. Instead he will become the
democratic nominee for governor,
with the belief that he can defeat
Gooding and carry with his election
democratic Legislature. Of course
in that event Dubois would become
candidate for Senator and the
| legislature would re-elect him.

A Pretty Play Poorly Played.

If Joe jefferson, who wen fame and
fortune by his rendition of Washing
ton Irving's beautiful drama, Rip Van
Wrinkle, could but return to life and
witness the manner in which that play
is being butchered by the company
which presented it in a tent here last
Monday night-well. it would be inn
possible for him to find words with |
which to express himself. We can't re-
call when we ever witnessed such
wretched acting by travelling company.
The Montpelier Dramatic company
could take that play and with three
week 8 rehearsals make those ''profes-
sionals'' so ashamed Of themselves that
they would hike to the woods and never
come back The character Of the jolly
a I'd big hearted old Rip, whose love for
his family was only surpassed by his
love for liquor, was enacted in man
ner that showed utter lack of theatrical
ability. while the lady who played the
part of Gretchen. Rips wife, was simply
awful Her voice was enough to drive
Rip, or any other man, to drink, and
the balance of the company was no bet
ter than the principals.
The trick bicycle riding by Mr.. Har-
rison was very good, but no new feats
/ were performed.

The only issue before the republi-
cans of Ada county this year seems
TO be the election of a United States
senator. At least, this question so
oyershadows all others that in the
Statesman's account of the primaries
held in Ada county Monday no
mention, whatever, is made as how
the delegates stand on the guber-
material question, or whether they
are favorable to Judge Stewart of
Boise, for the supreme bench. 1t
is all Borah, Borah. According to
the Statesman and the Ada county
republicans the success of the party
in Idaho this year depends wholly
upon the nomination of Borab for
the senate.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
Montpelier, Idaho, July q, 1905

1t seems that there has been more
or less bitterness engendered in some
of the counties between the factions
on the senatorial question, and the
charges are made that s.boodle," de-
ceptlon and fraud have been used by
both sides to win their points. If
these charges are true, they simply
confirm the arguments that have
been advanced to the effect that
delegates to county and state con
ventions are as susceptible to undue
influences as are members of the
legislature and that it is an easy
matter for scheming politicians to
secure the endorsement of candi-
date for senator at a state conven-
tion who Is not by any means the
choice of the majority of the people
Take the action of the convention
in Fremont county for illustration
1t is known to be an absolute fac
that majority of the delegates t.
that convention were elected a
being opposed to the nomination
plan. That was shown by the vot
on the temporary and permanent OF
ganization of the convention, wher
the issue was squarely fought Blu
in the short space of an hour or two
some mysterious influence wa
brought to bear on a sufficient mum
Der of delegates in that conventio
to induce them to vote for the Bora
Endorsement resolution, and it wa
adopted by the narrow margaln
nine votes. Thus the 26 delegate
from Fremont county are moral
bound to vote for policy agaln
which a majority of the republican
of that county are opposed. w n;
was done in Fremont, can be dor
in other counties by shrewd al
seheming politicians.

The st. Anthony Peak-Chronicle
says that "some very unfair advant-
ages we're taken of the delegates" by
the Borah forces at the county con-
vention to accomplish their desires
and, that paper adds, est is really a
question whether the republicans
will stand tor it."
