THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.

The Hague Conference, the second of it's existence as an institution, Is about to assemble It will be recalled that paign of 1904, when he was being charged with much show of reason of wishing to precipitate war in which his favored ''big stick" was to be used. tried to quiet criticism by promising to call together a second conference at the Hague. He was in a "Butt-in-sky" role in this as usual. The Czar was not un- naturally displeased at the Presidents offer to take a share of such prestige as attached to the conference idea and he contrived In a way not yet made public to warn oHr "broncho busting" President off his reservation, promising at the same time he would himself at some convenient hour renew his invi- tations to the nations to send delegates 10 the Hague for a further exchange of views and the promulgation of these Every nation of any importance has as- sented and the second conference will begin it's labors with better prospects of success than the first had. The first indeed was saved from being a com plete failure only by an after-thought This was the establishment of a perma- nent arbitration tribunal, and the Uni ted States had the honor of proving the excellence of the plan by submitting the first question ever adjudicated by the new tribunal.
 The approaching conference, while plainly looked upon as visionary by many who are active in the govern ments of the world and as too ambi- tlous in its scope by others. will start off with a great force of kindly opinion l Throughout the globe. The horrors of war can be mitigated and the world be- lieves they can be mitigated Conced- ing it's essential brutality 1t can be car ried on under agreements affecting the nature of weapons, bullets and proJec- tiles, affecting, too, the treatment of the wounded on the field of battle that will diminish the horrors of peoples killing each other in battle We confidently be- lieve the new conference will reach conclusions in thls direction.
 The great moot question of treatment of neutral goods will come up too and while there Is poorer outlook with re- gard to agreement here any pronounce ment by the conference will have per ! suasive force and tend to bring com | batants round to the unimpeachable sense of the thing, that wars should not interfere with the peaceful com merce of those states who are in no

PRESIDENT OR CITIZEN. !.

That official dignity" which, we are told, prevents the President from enter ing into a controversy with Dr. Long, is a great humbug As The New Bed ford Standard says, MT. Long distinct ly said that he had no controversy with the President, but he intimated that he would like to have one with "a man named Roosevelt" Nobody can ignore the fact that MT. Roosevelt is President of the United States, but the subject of MT. Longs complaint is entirely out side of any official purview. and it must be presumed that MT. Roosevelt dis cussed 1t as an individual, and not as man holding a high office. Besides, MT. Roosevelt provoked MT. Long's discus sion and gave occasion for Mir. Longs retorts and inquiries. If his official station prevents his making reply. it should have prevented making the at tack. It is not exactly pleasant to see MT. Roosevelt making onslaughts. on private citizens in a way to injure their personal reputation. and then refusing to take notice of their protests on the lHdI tlo SiltS Ol lHc plSSl- nential office will not permit him"
 The dignity of the Presidential office should be maintained, of course, but the President himself should set the good example. When, as President, he vio- 1ently assalls a citizen, perhaps calls him a liar. and otherwise insults him, and then sits back and calls up the dig nity of his office as a reason for not making good his charges or retracting them; well, that Is setting a very poor example. As President he can insult or misrepresent a citizen and then as President he can refuse any kind of satisfaction to the injured party.
 This Is just what Roosevelt has been guilty of on more than one occasion. He has not only insulted but maligned more than one person. some of them holding official positions. and when asked to make good his words or retract his charges he has refused to do SO. This, we make bold to say, is not the part that a brave and honorable man should play Either as private citizen or as President he should make good his assertions, whether those assertions are made as President or as a citizen. The Standard is a Republican newspa- per but it has little patience with some of the Presidents acts.

A WORD PICTURE.

well known manufacturing estab- lishment of Richmond. says The Times Dispatch, has received a letter from one of its customers in San Francisco dated late in May, describing the condition there in plain. business-like terms which make a very graphic picture This letter says:
 The business men are absolutely do- Ing nothing. All our foundries and iron works are closed on account of strikes. The telephone service Is practically use less on account of strike of the girls The street car men are on strike and the the cars are being operated only through police protection and 1t is dan gerous to ride on the cars. No cars are run after o'clock at night The French bakers and the brewery men are on strike. An electricians strike has been on for several months. The Mayor of our city is on trial under in dictments of the grand jury for extor- tion. All the members of the board of supervisors are confessed criminals The officials of the railroad and tele- phone companies are under indictment for bribery. The chief ot police is un- der indictment for perjury. That is where we stand today. Is 1t any won Today contractors and builders meet and wiN probably lock out all the union workmen and this final blow will mean that the town will be completely tied up. Plumbers are getting $S per day and are considering raising to s10. Brick masons are being paid sS Car penters. $5.50 and SC. All labor is in proportion. Insurance rates since the fire are prohibitive. From 5 to 10 per cent Is asked.

wise concerned as to the outcome of the contest. In short in seeking to dam age the adversary care ought to be ta- ken not to damage the innocent by- stander or passerby.
 As to disarmament the ridiculous Carnegie Conference in New York served to discredit in advance disarma- ment as cause to be struggled for at the Hague. The refusal of Germany in a way to countenance disarmament as a topic of debate will make its discus- sion purely academic. Germany as the most powerful of military nations is able to veto all but an academic de- bate An academic debate, however, will do good. To expect the sword to be abandoned altogether in settlement of national .quarrels is idle. The world can though, and perhaps will in time, cease the constant straining after big ger and bigger armies and bigger and bigger fleets. The conference will per- haps aid in popularizing peace move- ments as against the big afmament idea now so prevalent everywhere on earth
