read from Vice President Fairbanks.
In Introducing Ambassador James
Bryce. of Great Britain, Carnegie de-
clared: He is a man before whom it
is useless for US to try to hide our
faults or to expose our many virtues.
He knows them ALL" Bryce was not
able to proceed for some moments be-
cause Of the applause.
He said it that TO see what we can
really do to advance the object we
have at heart let us ask ourselves
how it is that wars begin We have
all seen the phenomena. Some differ
ence arises between two nations Each
nation has what it thinks a good
cause. but each nation thinks only of
its own case and takes little trouble
to understand the case on the other
side. The newspapers throw them,
selves into the fray. They embitter
feeling not only by denouncing the 9th
er side, but by dwelling only on their
own case and entirely neglecting to
state the case Of the other nation.
Every angry or spiteful thing that is
said by the newspapers of the other
country is reported. Everything that
tends to mitigate passion is omitted.
in this respect there is not a pin
to choose between the newspapers of
all countries. The value Of the object
at stake is exaggerated and each ma
ton is told that its honor is involved
in fighting for its own views. Thus
the bulk Of the people are dashed into
fury. Now, who is to blame
for this? Is it the governments? No
doubt they sometimes show a want of
firmness in resisting popular passion,
but they say, and often with truth,
that it is popular feeling that pushes
them into war
"Or is the fault with the newspa-
pers? We all know that the newspa-
pers fan the flame and spread it. But
what Is their motive? They want to
please the public. They believe the
public likes to have Its passions
aroused. The press is what the people
make it. Every nation has just such
newspapers as it deserves. The blame
after all rests with the people them
selves, who los their heads under ex-
element They can resist everything
except temptation"

/ I took train for my friend Sandvs'

Sandys had no interest in politics
his fortune was in real estate, and,
therefore, did not tempt or force him
into relations with political machines.

rival 1 got away from the others and,
with a stag-hound who remembered

President Is Proven Wrong ?
BOTH LITIGANT AND JUDGEP
Never, Says Congratulations Only
Aggregations of Individuals.


Aggregations of Individuals.
Carnegie then proceeds to the Sec
ond assertion of the president to which
he desires to reply-Second- Justice
is higher than peace "Answer-The
first principle of natural justice for
bids men TO be judges when they are
parties to the issue. All law rests up
on this throughout the civilized world.
Were a judge known to sit upon
case in which he was secretly inter-
ested he would be dishonored and ex-
PEELED from his high office. If any
individual refused to submit his dis
pute with a neighbor to disinterested
parties (arbitrators or judges, and
insisted upon being his own judge, he
would violate the first principles of
justice. If he resorted to force in de-
Tense of his right to Judge he would
be dishOnored as a breaker of the law.
Thus peace with Justice is secured
through arbitration, either by court or
by tribunal, never by one of the par
ties sitting as judge in his own cause.
Nations being only aggregations of
individuals they will not reach Justice
in their judgments until the same rule
holds good. viz: that they, like individ-
uals, shall not sit as judges in their
own cause. What is unjust for individ-
uals is unjust for nations Justice
is Justice Interchangeable, and should
hold universal sway over all men and
over all nations.
"Third-It is neither peace nor jus
tice, but Righteousness that shall ex-
alt the nation. Answer-Righteous
ness is simply doing what is right.
What is just is always right: what is
unjust Is always wrong. 1t being the
first principle of justice that men shall
not be judges in their own cause, to
refuse to submit to judge or arbitra-
tor is unjust. hence not right, for the
essence of righteousness is Justice.
Therefore, men who place justice or
righteousness above peace practically
proclaim, as 1t appears to me, that
they will commit injustice and discard
righteousness by constituting them
selves sole judges of their own cause
in violation of law, justice and right.
Civilized man has reached the con
clusion that he meets the claims Of jus
tee and of right only by UNFOLDING
the present reign of law. Our press
ing duty is to extend its benignant
reign TO combinations Of men called
nations. What is right for each indi-
vidual must be right for the nation.
This union Of law and justice, ensur.
ing peace and good will among men
through disinterested tribunals. Is the
Righteousness which exalteth a ma
ton. The demand that interested par
ties shall sit IN judgment is the wick
edness that degrades a nation"

Who is he?" asked the woman at
my side-Mrs. Sandys.
She was looking at the man in that
carriage-there were four, but there
was 10 mistaking him. He was seat

to the cheering throng His soft
black hat was pulled well down over
his brows; his handsome profile was
stern, his face pale. If that crowd
had been hurting curses at him and
preparing to tear him limb from limb
he would not have looked different. He
was smooth-shaven, which made him
seem younger than I knew him to be.

lived and had the power TO compel
others to live as long as they we're

War Over Passion Play.

War is raging over the selection of
an actor to play the part of the Prince
of Peace in the passion play in 1910,
at Oberammergau, Bavaria. Politics
is at the bottom of the dispute. A
priest leads one party, an actor who
has twice before appeared in the lead
ing role is at the head Of the other,
and so fierce have the/riots become
that troops have been summoned
from Munich to aid the local author
tiles in maintaining order.
HThe entire population, including
men. women and children, is divided
into hostile camps, and such bitter
ness exists that it is doubtful if the
1910 play will be given at all :.
The villagers elect the actors for
the various parts in the passion play,
in which nearly all the citizens take
part. When the voting began for the
1910 play. Guido Lang, who took the
principal part in 1890 and 1000, was
again a candidate fer the role. Led
by Father Daiser, the village priest,
strong opposition developed to Lang
on the ground that he was unfit for
the part because he recently sought
election to the Bavarian Diet on the
Progressive ticket

Frank r. Elwell, American sculp-
tor, who has just returned to. New
York from the study OF French sculp-
ture. was most emphatic in his state
men Sunday that at the present time
American sculpture is in general in
finitely superior to that OF the French
St Gautens, in Mr. Elwell's opinion,
was during his lifetime the greatest
sculptor in the world Decadence {
the French. Mr. Elwell attributes to
the influence OF modern schools of
art Mr. Elwell has small use for
French art schools and includes in
his condemnation those in New York
During a study OF sculpture of 3
weeks in Paris said Mr. Elwell. Il
saw only five works that hold as high
place as St. Gauddens' statute in Is
land cemetery, Newport, r. l., but a
bronze cast of which is in the gallery
OF the Luxembourg palace. Paris
These five are: The Thinker" by
Falguire; "Balzac." by Rodin; The
Kiss" by Radin; Camille Desmoul-
ms by Bozerie, and "Deux Dou-
leurs," by Riviere.
Study OF the present movement in
France shows strong drift toward
decadence. There are few great men
in sculpture in France The parks
are being filled with inferior statues"
