PEACE CONFERENCE RESULT.

Americans of these later days in
sist on results. To fail of progress is
to lose regard and even respect in
a country where men are measured
more by what they do than by how
they think. Consequently the recent
peace congress judged by the COM
mon estimate of it's accomplishment,
is receiving more attention from the
impertinent paragrapher than kudos
from the people. The general expenses

ing to disagreement as to the method
of it's creation, altho the principle of
obligatory arbitration was formally
adopted. The right of the different
rulers to sign the various conventions
or agreements will be open until
juno 80, 1908
General Horace Porter one of the
American delegates, insists that 1t has
been delivered. General Porter says
thew have done the work they We're
sent to do, namely: to establish the
principle of the invoilability of private
property at sea as a rule of interna-
t,onal law. He says they secured for
this the support of large majority
of the powers represented, altho they
failed TO win unanimous assent. Be-
sides this, the conference has placed
restrictions upon the use OF hoating
mines; has forbidden the bombardment
of undefended sea coast towns; has
prohibited the levying OF contributions
by threats; has shielded the noncom-
hatant in war time; has strengthened
the provisions for relief Of the wounded
and has taken precautions against a
revival Of privateering by insisting
that converted merchant vessels be
formally enrolled upon the naval list
and commanded by a naval officer.
And, finally, just before adjournment,
the plan Of permanent court of arbi-
tration was agreed upon. with only
few of the smaller nations dissenting
not from the principle, but as to the
method of conducting negotiations.

resolution forbidding the employment

have been refused, or after an award
had been set at naught. was unani-
mously accepted.

CRIME AND OFFICIALS.

Charles Morris, mine operator and,
in his way, philanthropist, IN ms
efforts to aid the men who worked
for him, is dead from bullet wound
administered by bootlegger. to whom
the mine operator had gone in an eff
fort to rid the camp of a nuisance py
purchasing the property OF the Illicit
dealer. who conducted It, From news
naner accounts of the murder and the
causes that led up to 1t, no actuai
provocation for assault existed Nor
ris might have been a prosecutor--in-
deed should have been such. Instead,
he had gone about plan to get RID
Of the nuisance by buying the boot
logger out, instead Of sending him to
Jail. Knowledge of the fact that Nor
ris stood In the way of an illegal bus
mess and was determined that the
dive should not flourish in his camp,
seems to have enraged the murderer to
frenzy. He shot Morris and the friend
who accompanied him. Morris is
dead.
Here is an illustration of the nat
ural and inevitable tendency toward
deep criminality of men who live by
ways dangerous. To permit men to
break laws with impunity for time
is to put a premium, on violence to
come later. When the gambler, boot
logger and vicious of any degree have
enjoyed a period of license, the individ-
ual who objects to a continuation OF
their immunity is always in danger.
| Murder is incidental when vice is
| threatened Violence is the rule.
There is but one way to deal with
men who defy law. The strong hand
should be the first and last resort. 1t
| is not the duty of individuals to per-
sonally, by argument or purchase, rid
1 communities of scamps and rogues.
! Officers are elected and paid for that
| purpose and with view to relieving
| individuals of the personal risk and
| trouble involved. The police officer
who permits crime to go on under his
eyes, while he awaits orders to sup
press it, is derelict. The mayor, county
attorney, or whoever may be RESPONSE
BILE, with knowledge Of unlawful acts,
| but who awaits action until individuals
| lay public informations and force ac-
ton, falls far short Of filling his office
as his duty demands.
1t is time that this duty Of officers
were enforced upon them. Common
| report Of crime should lead to quiet
investigation and action, where justi-
fed. It should not be necessary for
| individual citizens to put their lives
and property in danger in order that
vote seeking officials may be able to
| plead that they were forced to notice
infractions Of law There has been
too much official pandering to a GRIM
inal vote. There has also been too
much voting by criminals. Some day,
soon, we may see the one removed from
office by reason of dereliction, and the
other denied the franchise he abuses.

SOLDIERS PENSIONS.

The New York Tribune calls atten-
ton to most striking exhibit in the
report of the commissioner of PEN
sions for the fiscal year 1906-O7 is the
net decrease of 1850 in the pension
roll The number Of pensioners on
June 80 was 967,371. the smallest total
since 1884. Before the passage of the
dependent pension act of 1890 the PEN
sion rst carried about 100000 names.
Between 1890 and 1894 the total rose
to es9.544 and from 1898 to 1905 1T
fnctnated between 991,519 and $685.
446 1t has now begun to decrease
materially. despite new and highly lib
eral legislation, and there is reason
to think that in the next five years
it will drop we'll below 100000.
The cost of the pension system mas
varied little year by year in the last
decade. In 1S97-9S it was $14S, 765, Ooo.
Since then it has ranged from $l44.-
e42 600 in 10000 to $141,335,0O0 in
1901 -02. Last year it was 14l,46''-
ooo But, though under the law
12o.355 claims have been allowed UNI
der the provisions of the act Of Feb
ruary 6, the total pension payments
remain about stationary. The COM
missioner Of pensions estimates that
pension obligations were increased So
$4,000 by the lMcCumber age pen
sion law. But this increase was Off :
set by the normal shrinl1age of the roll
due to deaths, of which there were 49,
1853. and to other causes
The fact seems to be that expend1-
ture TOUGHER its high water mark
some years ago and the Tribune pre-
diets that a shrinkage in payments is
now Imminent. The annual outlay has
been kept above s14O,Oo0,0O0 by the
workings of new legislation, admitting
applicants ineligible under previous
laws and increasing rates Of payment.
The average value of pensions in near
~ every class has been raised and the
general average value of all pensions
has been forced up from s1sa,49 in
1903, to $145.so in 1907. But the pen
sionable material is now pretty well
exhausted, and tina continuing to do
the fullest justice to the veteran and
his dependents, the government will
soon see it's outlay on their account
curtailed by many millions
