For Peace in Central America.

There is peace conference now in
session at Washington which is not
getting much advertising as that
given the Hague conference, but which
promises nevertheless to accomplish
more definite and more substantial re-
suits. This conference is attended by
representatives of the five Central
American states and it's object is to
establish more cordial relations be-
tween them and to establish a basis
upon which they may dwell with fewer
of those quarrels which have been so
numerous in the past.
Ever since they became independent
countries these five Central American
states, Honduras, Nicaragua. Central
America, Guatemala and Salvador,
have been quarreling and fighting
among themselves with occasional
brief intervals for rest and refresh

The Field Of Honor.

hOulSVllle COUrior-GaZette)
The late Gen. Ronald Henry Dougla 5
MacIver. gentleman. soldier Of fortune.
courtier and cOsmopolte. was wont TO
declare that existence was intolerable
to q man of honor in a country which
did not permit dueling. The General
had borne his own honor through life
at the point of his sword. Upon one oc-
casion in Paris he called out and killed
an army officer who questioned the dis
erection of the queen OF sem!-bar-
barous Southern European country.
According TO the code of MacIVer the
nearest gentleman should challenge
whenever rullian affronts lady. at
close range or at the distance measured
by the northern and southern shores
of continent. In this degenerate
If he should be joStCd in Il street car
or at a crossing he could not resort to
the ancient and honorable means of
settling the matter How could a gen
tleman maintain his honor since the
field Of honor had been abolished and
the Police Court substituted as sort
of place of arbitration with a politician
in a little brief authority as umpire?
An illustration of the point made by
Gen. M@cIver is afforded in the melan-
choly fate Of Thomas Harry. of Evans
vile. a chivalric youth who killed one
Gustav Mechelor because Of an insult
to several young women unprotected
save by the presence of the escort they
shared. 1t seems that Mr.. Harry. a
Hoosier Sir Galahad. was proncnading
fashionable thOroughfare with Il flock
of bellies when Mechelor accosted the
ladies with Hello. KiddO." which. in
the Esperanto of the curb is !; plain,
llnvarnished insult understood by
everyone. Mr.. Harry's archetyre in the
days when knghthood was in flower
would have Spitted the Offende" upon
his sword. taken his pick of the Young
women as n reward for his gallantry
and gone through life rated a hero and
a gentleman. But what occurred IN
Evansville after Mr.. Harry shot the life
out of GusS He was arrested and
charged with murder. and ii he had not
proved eclf-defense he might have been
hanged for his chivalric protection Of
the fair.
AS it was he was sent to the Jeffer-
sOnville Reformatory to serve an in
tederminate sentence of from two tn
twenty-one years for manSlaughter, and
the odds are that none Of the young
women in whose defense he poured a
brOadside into MechelOr would marry
him if he were released tomorrow.
Gen. MacIver was right. What
chance has a gentleman of honor in
these days when the sword arm atroph-
les from lack of exercise, when all
obese patrolman clubs the head off Of
Sir Galahad, dumps him into a patrol
wagon. delivers him at the lookup and
testifies that he did a murder. when it
is plain to any true knight that he
was merely extending common courtesy
to a lady?

The Powers Case.

indianapolis News)
If we may credit the Cincinnati En- :
quirer's dispatches, the same disgrace
full methods are being used in the
present trial Of Caleb Powers that were
employed in his former trials
Whether they will succeed depends
wholly on the judge. Whether he will
rise 10 the emergency and do his duty
tempt on the part of Democratic
leaders to conceal tn" fact that they
are trying To get a solid Democratic
jury. Naturally, therefore, the at
tOrneys of Powers believe that unless
they can get at least one Republican on
the jury there will be the same verdict
as i'm the other trials, whether there is
any evidence to support it or not. 1t
seems to be taken for granted by both
sides that Democratic jury will vote
for hanging, and. will do it simply COR
political reasons.
We know nothing of Judge Morris.

the sort Of man he ought to be he can,
even under the present conditions,
come pretty near seeing that justice is
done. Surely it is time that Powers
had real trial. For eight years and
more he has been in JAIL and during
all that time the State has produced no
evidence that warranted 4 conviction.
The man should be honestly and fairly
convicted on evidence proving his guilt
beyond all reasonable doubt, or else he
should be acquitted. Surely there
ought to be some community in
Kentucky where this trial could De

honestly drawn and impartial jury, and
in accordance with the rules of law
Kentucky has been sufficiently dis
graced in this matter. The people of
the State without distinction of party
ought to demand, not that Powers he
convicted or acquitted. but simply that
he be tried on the evidence. We
sincerely hope that Judge Morris will
exert his influence to the utmost to get
an honest verdict in this case. He can
do a great deal. On proper showing
he can set aside the venire, and give

that the question OF whether q man
ought 10 be hanged or not should be

Of the contrast between them. When

The GRANGE in Maine.

During the Grange year which ended
the first OF October the order OF
Patrons of Husbandry in Maine has
enioyed a continuation of the splendid
nrosperity and substantial growth
which mas marked it in recent years
During the year u new Oranges have
leen established and one reOrganized,
giving the order at the present time in
this State 41S subordinate and 26 Po-
mona Oranges, with total member
ship of 56,447. The increase Of men,
bership during the year was $500. Ten
new Grange halls have been built and
dedicated during the year, and now no
fewer than 366 OF the AIS subordinate
Oranges own the halls which they Oc-
cupy, representing a total value of
close to $1.OOO,0O0. During the year
1855 subordinate Grange meetings
were held and 260 Pomona meetings.
The extent to which the Grange en-
cages actively in business is indicated
by the fact that the cooperative store
of Houiton Grange, the Grange by the
way which is the largest in Maine or
in the country for that matter, has
done a business of $4,000 during the
present year. The store of the Penob-
scot Pomona in Bangor has done a
business Of 100000 and there are a
number OF other similar stores which
will make the amount OF cooperative
business done in Maine for 1907 at
least 1000, exclusive of that done
by the Grange Fire Insurance COM
panies. These companies are as sound
as they can be made by good manage
ment ana represent millions Of dollars
il. fire risks.
These facts and many more are
fodnd i'm the report as to the condition
of the order here in Maine made at the
meeting of the National Grange at
Hartford, Conn, This week. and are Of
especial interest in view of the COM
ing meeting Of the Maine State Grange
at Lewiston in December. The meet
ing at Hartford has been an unquali-
fled success and the dispatches make it
plain that the Maine representatives
played an important part there and
that the great strength and prosperity
of the order in this State is duly APP
rreciated and recognized by Patrons
of Husbandry throughout the country.
From it's institution the Grange has
found congenial soil here in Maine and
the figures quoted above are sufficient
evidence Of its present standing.
There is no measuring the influence Of
this great and noble order upon the
lie of our Maine villages and towns.
FL measuring the benefit which it
gives it's members along social and in
for sOod in matters of legislation, no
the splendid things it has
accomplished for the cause of Maine
