ORUNIVERSALPEACE
GREAT BRITAIN TO TAKE iNiTlA-
TIVE AT SECOND CONFER
ENCE AT THE HAGUE.

Paris, Jan. S.-William r. Stead OF
an interview that he is on his way
around the world In the interest of
peace. He further declares that he Is
authorized by the British premier, Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, to say
that Great Britain, If no other country
does SO, would at the approaching sec
ond peace conference at The Hague
raise the question of taking steps to
provide for the maintenance of inter-
national peace. This, Mr.. Stead says,
will be done In the form Of two propo-
s~itions, as follows:
First-That each country participant
ing in the conference appropriate a
sum of money to be used in the propa-
cation of the idea of maintaining in
ternational peace.
Second-That each country partici-
pating in the conference render OBJ
ligatory the observance of article VIII.
of the act of the peace conference of
1899. permitting q third power to ten
der mediation, without giving o~ffense,
between two disputing powers, and
also that the participating powers ex-
tend the scope of article VIII. so as to
bind the signatories, in case of a dec
laration of war, not to begin hostilities
for a fortnight. In which interim
friendly powers would have the right
to intervene In an attempt to adjust
the quarrel.

Ing views concerning the proposed in
vestigatlon Of the ARRAY at Browns
vile, Tex. What amounts I an agree
ment between Senators Foraker and
Lodge has been attained by their
friends, but inasmuch as 1t was de-
cided not to present the compromise
until all of the senator's desiring to do
so had made speeches ON the subject
Of the dismissal Of the negro troops, ii
is not absolutely certain that the
peace plans will not be upset. The
compromise Is not greatly different
from the resolution presented by
Senator Lodge, and a similar n Sen
ator Foraker had intended to offer as
a substitute for his original one. II
provides for an investigation by the
committee On military affairs into the
ARRAY at Brownsville and to this is to
be added provisions that q suD-com-
mittee be sent to Brownsville and that
the expenses of the investigation be
paid out Of the contingent fund OF the
senate. Such a resolution would ignore
the constitutional and legal questions
that have been debated for several
days In the senate. Senator Lodge
says he Is favorable to the substitute
and Senator Foraker says he Is not
particular as to the phraseology Of the
resolution SO long as a committee Is
sent to Brownsville to investigate the
ARRAY. The situation IL not different
to what II was ut the conclusion OF
Senator Lodges speech Monday. Both
sides were then agreed on the SUBJ
stance of the resolution and to leave
out the constitutional question. 1t
was the speeches and form OF the
resolution that Senator Foraker OBJ
jected to.

threatened by European warships and
the situation was regarded as very
critical. The object of the doctrine is.
Of course, to protect the South Amer
lean republics from foreign creditors.
The claim is made that there is no de-
sire to evade the fulfillment of honest
obligations, the sole purpose being to
avoid the compulsory payment of
debts alleged to be unfair.
Such matters, it is insisted. SHOULD
be left to arbitration, as was done In
the Venezuelan case. The Drago doc
trine has never been accepted by the
United States, although in a speech
at Buenos Ayers last summer Secre-
tary Root said the aims of the Drago
doctrine and of the Monroe doctrine
were practically the same. And Secre-
tary Hay expressed, shortly after the
Drago PRONUNCIATION, the opinion that
the arguments in its favor were very
ably set forth" Then, too, some Eu-
ropean authorities on international law
have declared it to be just.
What action, if any, will be taken
by The Hague conference remains to
be seen. DR.. DragO has said that he
will not bring up the question, but it
is probable that the representatives of
some other nation may be induced to
do so, and the arguments cannot fail
to be of intense interest to the Ameri-
can continent

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
WEATHER FOR SALT LAKE.
, BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

A thoughtless critic takes a nasty
little fling at Samuel Newhouse be-
cause Mr.. Newhouse proposes to bring
stone from Indiana for use in the con-
struction of his big new buildings on
South Main street. The critic processes
surprise at this action on the part of
Mr., Newhouse, especially as the only
reason assigned is that by bringing
stone from Indiana he will save money
Now if that isn't a good and sufficient
reason it would be difficult to find
one
As The Herald pointed out in re-
cent story about the Newhouse build
ings, a saving of something like 500, 900
will be effected by the use of Indiana
stone, This does not mean that labor
is so much cheaper in the east, nor
does it means, as the critic intimates,
that the Utah laborer is not worthy
OF his hire. Those are points that
have no proper place in the discus
sion. Mr.. NewhOuse is a business man
and as a business man he is entitled
to buy his building materials to the
best possible advantage. There is
mighty little sentiment in business.
Mr.. NewhOuse is investing something
like $5,0O0000 in Salt Lake real estate
and improvements. Nobody has been
foolish enough to say that he is
actuated by motives of pure benevo-
lence in the expenditure of this money.
He believes his investment will yield
him a fair return or he would not
make ii. Nevertheless he is to be COM
mended for his superb faith in the
city's future and for his thoroughly
practical manner in demonstrating his
faith. We do not hesitate to say that
Salt Lake has no more valuable citi-
zen than Samuel NewhOuse.
There is stone for building purposes
in Utah, plenty of it, but it is said
there are not the required facilities for
quarrying it. 1t has been authorita-
lively stated that with present facili-
ties it would require too much time to
get out a quantity sufficient for the
needs of Mr.. Newhouse. He hasn't
the Ilme 10 walt Tor 1t and he should
not, in all fairness, be blamed for not
being willing to wait.
While we are on the subject it may
be pertinent TO suggest that the gov
eminent building is not constructed
entirely of Utah stone. although a good
deal of the local product was used.
But every inch of marble in the build
ing was brought all the way from the
Proctor quarries. in Vermont. And we
never heard the government contractor
or the government itself criticised on
that account. This Notwithstanding
the fact that the late Senator Proctor's
connection with the government may
have had something to do with the Sc
lection of the marble

TO STOP SPEEDING.

The Automobile club of America,
through its special attorney. w. w.
Niles, has again gone on record as
against the speeding of automobiles. In
letter addressed to the district attor-
neys of York and Kings counties a few
days ago. Mr.. Niles said:
The club is sternIy opposed to the
reckless use of the streets by automo-
biles. And it is DESTROYS to aid as far
as possible in preventing the driving of
automobiles at an unlawful rate of
speed, and of Furnishing those persons
who persist in recklessly violating the
law. The club stands for the observ-
ance of the law, and is strenuously op-
posed to it's reckless and wilIful viola
ton. The Automobile club believes
that reckless violators of the law
should be severely punished, and if an
example were made of such offenders
that it would have a salutary effect
upon other reckless drivers and would
soon stop it"
The Herald believes this to be the
sentiment of the great majority of au-
tomobile owners. They are. as a class,
as much interested in obeying the law
and in seeing that the law is enforced
as any other citizens. The temptation
to drive an automobile at a rapid rate
of speed, when the driver knows he
has the power under the hood in front
of his car and when he has confidence
in his machine and in his ability to
handle it, is we'll nigh irresistible. The
surprising thing is, not that there are
so many automobile scorchers. but that
there are so few. And the same thing
is true of automobile accidents, for
their number, in proportion to the
number of automobiles in use. is
small.
But the chauffeur who violates the
speed regulations should be punished,
and punished severely. He has no
rights not possessed by the average
citizen who does not own an automo-
bile. Other offenders against the stat
utes are punished. Why should the
automobile scorcher escape We are
well aware of the fact that a speed of
twelve or fifteen miles an hour, which
would be tremendously fast for a
horse-drawn vehicle, seems mere
crawl to the occupant of an automo-
bile. 1t is alsOstrue that an automobile
going at the rate of thirty miles an
hour is much more easily handled, if
the driver is experienced, than a horse
going at one-half or one-third the
speed.
More restrictions should be placed
around the drivers of automobiles.
however. Employment as wiper for
six weeks does not qualify a man to
take out a heavy touring car and run
it at the rate of forty miles an hour
over the streets of this city. As a
matter of fact, there should be a board
Of examiners for ehauffeurs and no
man or woman who cannot successfully
undergo a series of reasonably severe
tests should be permitted TO take
charge of car. The tests should in
clude sudden stops, avoidance of OBJ
stacles and a thorough knowledge of
the vital parts of the machine should
be required.

THE DOCTRINE OF pRAeo.

The second International Peace Con-
ference at The Hague may take up
the question of the Drago doctrine.
and, as this is a matter in which
Americans are deeply interested, some
information on the subject may be
timely. The doctrine gets its name
from DIR. Luis NJ. Drago, who is at the
head of the delegation from the Argen-
tine Republic to the conference. The
Drago doctrine is really an amplifca-
ton of the CalvO doctrine, set forth
by Carlos CalvO, also a citizen of the
Argentine Republic, who died not long
ago
Senior Calvo's proposition was that a
claim by one nation upon another or
by citizen of one nation upon an
other nation. is not a proper matter
for diplomatic negotiation or represen-
tations. The Drago doctrine goes far
Their and says that it is wrong to col
lect debts by force of arms. For ex-
ample, if a South American republic
owes debt to Germany or a German
citizen. it is wrong for Germany to
send warships TO any port of that re-
public to seize the custom house or In
any other way compel the payment Of
the obligation.
When Mr.. Drago was minister of
foreign affairs for the Argentine Re-
public in 1902 he outlined his doctrine
very clearly in a note to the govern
ment of the United States. At that
time ports in Venezuela were being
