NOT 4 HoPE1lSs FI11URE

When the plans were made for the second International Peace Conference at The Hague there was wagging of heads and wagging of tongues in prophecy of its futllitiy It will have to be sadly admitted that this wagging was fairly wise. The delegates have had a good time and talked lot, but the meeting has been barren of deh- nitely important results, No measures in the interests of peace, with the ex- ception of an agreement on the collec- ton of contractual debts, have gone through. The American plan for per- manent court of arbitration, the most important proposal set before the con- ference in the interests of peace, has been rendered futile by the attitude of the smaller nations in the selection of judges, Brazil, in particular, having insisted upon an equal representation With the great Powers. It has even been suggested that Englands propos al that the question of the judgeships be left to the different Powers is a mere pretext for burying the whole af- fair The most bitter criticism of the conference comes from England, it be- '4ng considered there that even the mere discussion of the problems set forth has not led to any hopes for the at- tainment of the object of the meeting, namely, the prevention of war. The failure Is credited chiefly to the con- stitution of the conference, the dele- gates being expected to perform in a few months the work of years. The admission of all the nations on a plane of moral and physical equality is further adduced as reason for fail- ure.
 Somewhat discouraging, but not hopelessly so The idea of universal peace is in the world, 1t is heartily be- lieved in by many, and In time will be adcpted. This Peace conference hasn't teen a total failure and by and by there will be one that will score pro- gress.

MORE MILLIONAIRE.

The fine of S1,SO0OOO imposed by Chancellor Hicks of Mississippi, on the Gulf Cotton Compress Company, a trust operating in that State, for dis erimination in handling cotton, indi- cates that the example of Judge Lam dis, of the Federal court in f1ning the Standard oil company $2sooo,oOO is catching,
 It isn't SO very long ago that busi- ness men began to talk In millions and now judges are beginning to talk in millions. Some of the million-talk of business men hasn't banned out, and 1t is rlore than possible that some of the million-talk of judges wont But it is interesting to notice the spread of th4 disease, or whatever it is.

CAN'T PAY FIHRISTS.

These are days in which a man can go to the uttermost parts of the earth and there find money tight. It is so tight In Persia that the banks in Teher- an have stopped doing business. It ap- pears that for the payment of the very large number of pensions granted to persons all over the country, the gov- ernment has been in the habit of issu- ing long usance paper on itself, termed "hhrist," in which a very profitable dis count business with the holders was for many years transacted by native bankers. The time for the redemption of these drafts has long passed, and to-day the bazaar offices hold "flhrlsts" for three successive years, which the government has failed to redeem. The amount said to be held in Teheran is 100000 krans, about $7OO,OOO, and as It is to the liquidation of these debts that the bankers have been looking for ready cash (the supply of which has been decreasing for some years) the failure of the government to hon. or the bills has left them in very tight position, and made 1t more pru- dent for them to stop business. The government has confessed its inability to pay in full. In Tact, it has prac- tieally acknowledged bankruptcy, offer ing to compound at 40 per cent, 50 per cent, and 80 per cent, respectively, of the face values of the three years 'tihrists," propositions which the bankers have refused.
 When a government gets so reduced that 1t can't pay fihrists 1t is time for high and low financiers to call a halt,

roo SMALL.

The curious remark of Senator Newlands of Nevada that the National Waterways commission, now engaged in an inspection of the great lakes and their harbors, is a part of the Presi- dents "big stick" in the fight against the railroads, will attract much atten- ton. It is difficult to believe that there is any foundation for such re- mark. There can be no doubt that the country needs all the means of transportation that can be furnished by the water route as well as the means of transportation furnished by the rail route. There is not only freight enough for both, but volume of freight that taxes and will continue to tax the utmost resources of both methods of transportation. Neither coal, nor iron, nor lumber nor other and heavier freights will seek the rail where there is water transporta- tion, while the shipper and the re- ceiver will demand fast freight trans portation by rail for the lighter arti- cles and for articles of trade and com merce wanted in quick time.
 There are small potatoes" enough  in this dry year, but the notion of Sen ator Newlands is a little too small even for this year.

WIND ON THE GREEN.

Wind has, at one time and another, had a powerful effect on the New Ha- ven Green. It blew down the old State House and thus blew much beauty and art out of New Haven life Now it has blown down parts of the trees which have helped make New Haven the City of Films and have giv- en joy and peace to the birds and the squirrels and also to many who like the birds, the squirrels and the soft and soothing whisperings of the gracefully moving fronds.
 It will take long to repair the dam age done on the Green by the recent storm, But no effort or skill should be spared to make 1t in time what 1t has been so long. We are bonding "fu- ture generations so that they can have a city more or less beautiful and we should not spare the little time, at tention and money needed to provide for a continuance of It's chief and most famous beauty. Let us so act that future generations" may bless us for the Green, even as we have blessed the thoughtful and provldent ones who came before us for it.
 By the way, isn't it queer that a mighty, rushing and ruthless wind will blow grand and beautiful tree down and not even blow shingle off of that Chinese pagoda known as the bandstand?

,oUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Humble Notion Counter.
(september Everybody's. )

(September Everybody'S. 'S.)
 The arrangement of departments in store Is of such importance that 1t may mean the difference between success and failure. Henry Siegel, who has started and developed some of the big gest department stores of the country, has devoted years of thought and ex- pertinent to this matter. and he al- ways decides personally where the de- partments shall be placed and what space they shall occupy. In other stores the arrangement of depart ments is determined by many confer ences. The general rule is simple. Ar ticles that come under the head of lux uries, like jewelry are always pushed to the fore, where they will be the first things to attract attention when peo- pie enter the store and the last things to catch their eyes when leaving. De- partments like those devoted to oloaks and suits and millinery are on the up- per floors, where they can have plenty of space and customers can be served comfortably without crowding.
 Now the notion counter can sell arti- cles at or below cost because 1t feeds the more attractive departments. No other department draws such a steady stream of people into the store, with out advertising. This Is because 1t sells the particular articles that wom- en continuously need, day in and day out, and a good notion section, clever ly placed at the rear, will thus keep busy several departments that might otherwise struggle for existence. The under-cost prices, it should be said, apply only to the staples; by adding to the department novelties, on which there is a very considerable profit, the whole can be made to show fair re- turn on the business done.

We say bad or good, because 1t is hard to tell just what goes on in the big western cities which reject charters constructed for their special benefit by wise charter-makers. Chi cago rejected such a charter, and the rejection seems to have been done by that branch of local self-governors who wanted less government instead of more.
