Speech on Arbitration.

mittee delivered an eloquent speech TODAY
in favor of the principle of arbitration aI,d
produced an. excellent impression. He
gave a detailed survey of the arbitration
convention of 1899. the recent adhesion to
which of seventeen additional nations
gave it the conservation of the civilized
world. He expressed gratitude to Andrew
Carnegie for his donation of the peace
palace and said since the opening Of the
arbitration court the experience of all ma
tons had shown that the working of ar
filtration might become daily more simple
AS natural result of it. he said. interna-
tional justice had entered the domain Of
practical policy. Public opinion of nations
had quickly grasped it and governments
had become accustomed to it
The results OF the establishment of the
court were seen in the thirty-three arbi-
tratiOn treaties which had been concluded
since 1899. and series of incidents which
NJ. Bourgeois recounted. The North sea
Incident and the Venezuelan affair. he
pointed out, were among the cases dealt
with by The Hague court.
NJ Bourgeois paid a graceful compli-
ment to the United States and President
Roosevelt for their part in setting in mo-
ton the new jurisdiction. Regarding tho
task before the commission of Derfecting
the convention of 1899. he observed that
the rules of 1899 might be modified to d
kind of summary of procedure.

TESTIMONY Of ORCHARD
STANDS ALMOST ALONE
Summing Up of the Case Of the State Against
Haywood by Associated
Press.
Defense Expected to mpeach the Evidence of the Murderer by
Scores of Witnesses

Counsel for Haywood viii not outline
their defense until Monday morning, but
their course during croSs-examination,
particularly when they laid the founda-
ton for their impeachment OF Orchard,
and the personality of many of the wit
nesses they have summoned here, make
their general course quite clear. it is
manifest that they will endeavor to show
that Orchard killed Steunenberg to be re-
venged for the loss of the Hercules mine
and several witnesses will swear that they
heard Orchard tell the Hercules tale and
vow that he would kill Steunenberg. They
will probably show also that Jack Simp-
kinS was a prisoner in the 'bullpen'' where
negro thrust a bayonet into his chest,
circumstances that gave the two common
cause against Steunenberg.
There will likely be a showing that all
of the financial relations of Haywood and
Simpkins came in the natural and regular
course of conducting the business affairs
of the federation. In this connection as
we'll as to the grants of money and food
to Orchard and his wife and Steve Adams.
the books and records of the federation
will probably be produced.
Great Cloud of Witnesses.
Orchards testimony as to the alleged in
timacy of himself and the federation lead
ers, and his story of the events at Grip
pie Creek, extending from the first at
tempt at the indicator down to the de-
struction of the Independence station, will

tically all the men named by him. Many
of them are now here and they are eX-
pected 10 take the stand and swear that
he perjured himself. There will also be
a general showing that the movements.
acts and attitudes of Haywood Meyer and
Pettibone during 1903, 1904 and 1905, were
largely at variance and strongly incOn-
siStent with the recital of Orchard
The Bradley story will be subjected to
severe attack and in this connection the
discrediting testimony of Bradley himself
will be used. There exists a strong show
ing that Bradley's house was blown Up
by a gas explosion and not by a bomb
and this will be used to all possible ad-
vantage.
Marion Moore Will Testify.
Orchards story about the letters con-
neeted with the alleged plan to deceive
his wife will in all probability be directly
cOntroverted and generally discredited.
There may be a showing that Orchard di
go to Alaska. Marion Moore will be wit
ness for the defense, and it is understood
that he Will directly deny that he carried
Orchards letter to Alaska. The legal aid
extended to Orchard will be explained by
a general showing that it has ever been
the custom of the federation to provide
counsel for its members.
1t is expected that Haywood will go to
the stand and that there will also be a
strong showing as to his character. The
defense has upward of 80 witnesses and it
is estimated that it will take from three
weeks to a month to present all of its
testimony.

"Sir" and "Ma'am."

x question has arisen in Los An
geles concerning the proper form of
address inculcated in the public
schools. It seems that the children
there are taught to say "sir" and
"ma'am." Some Of the parents con-
slider this provincial" md think
that they should be taught to add the
name of the person addressed. But
the Los Angeles school teachers say
that children cannot remember the
names of many people, and it would
be impossible SO to burden their
memories.
Is the contention correct of those
parents who think that "sir" and
INA am" thus used is a provincial
usage? There can be no doubt that
this usage is found much more fre-
Quently in rural districts than in cit
les. It is certainly very old usage.
1t is etiquette thus to address the
King and. Queen of England. It is
not etiquette to address him as "Your
Majesty" but simply "sir." Among
well-bred American men the habit Of
using ''sir" is not common, except in
addressing strangers, or possibly men
of advanced age, or men for whom
great veneration is entertained.
Among equals the custom. in ordin-
ary conversation, does not exist. We
speak more particularly of city
dwellers. There can be no question
that the use of yes" and mo" with
out any supplementary title Is some
what curt, but there can be no ques-
tion also that among the educated
city dwellers Of the United States the
custom of using ''sir" and "ma'a
has fallen into desuetude.-San

We should, therefore, strongly en-

Of dreaming; not, however, to the
limit of demanding expression
through snoring, which to us has ever
seemed a represhensible practice and
a just cause for divorce. Excuse up
on the ground of unpreventability Is
absurd. If snoring were merely an
obnoxious utterance of unconscious
emotions, it might be wofully endur-
ed, but in fact it is purely physical
manifestation Of the effect of exces-
sive indulgence in food and drink,
or OF ignorance of good form in re-
cumbency. We may conclude gener-
ally that "early to bed, early to rise"
continues to produce the beneficial ef-
fects accorded by tradition to the
