PEACE Al HOME FIRST.

Peace and arbitration In internal, os
well as international. affairs Is The aim
of many leaders Ina the realm of thought
today. In Washington George Herbert
Realnan has suggested the formation OF
a Union League club for the purpose
of bringing about arbitration between
capital and labor. This club, ID IS sup
posed, win spread throughout The coun-
try and result IN regular peace confer
ences. The idea Is only In It's Infancy,
but those whom Mr. Beaman has con-
suited were favorably impressed with
such an organization. Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
of Labor; John Mitchell, president OF
the United Mine Workers, and other
labor leaders of this country, will be
invited to become members OF the club.
Prominent business men OF Washing
ton, attorneys, physicians. and other
representatives OF the various business
institutions, members OF tho bench, as
well as contractors and other employers
of labor, will be brought together in the
organization.
According 70 the originator Of this
Idea, the club should consist OF repre-
sentative men In all walks IN life and
It's voice should be the voice of the peo-
Pile II should, therefore, take UP all
questions Of public Importance, such as
the betterment OF health conditions, the
adjustment of certain saloons, etc. The
main purpose however, should be the
promotion of peace In the industrial
world. Mr.. Beaman hopes that event
ualIy the club may be able to erect
place OF meeting, or a temple of peace
In Washington Andrew Carnegie. 1t
has been suggested, should be requested
to make contribution toward such
building, where all labor troubles may
be settled. When good results are
brought about In Washington as re-
suit of conference between tho league
members-the labor men. the contract
ors, and the leading business men-it is
believed the transactions will attract
general attention. and similar organiza-
tons will be formed In other places UNI

Idaho has been expanding more rapidly
than any other western state during the
past decade and it promises TO keep up
the pace for long time to come. 1t Is
that fact that has caused Omaha. Den

punishment in proportion to the Grim

negligence is proved TO exist either
