their deliberations was an agreement
10 recommend the cstabHshmnt OF
a court Of arbitration with power TO

character and 90 enforce its decisions.
This is a long step ahead OF the Hague
congresses that have been held.
Another remarkable agreement viii.

the clause II provides that none of
the signatory powers shall recognize
any ruler iu any one of Them unless

Another provision in the agreement
binds the republics that have no anti

constitutions 20 incorporate such arti-
cles and make presidents ineligible for
reelection. Finally. it stipulates that
none Of the signatories shall take part

II may be said that there is a long |
distance between the ideal that is be- |

the arbitration principle That this |
course should be taken up by promi- |

puhlics IS one OF the great signs Of
our time. But the intelligent people Of
all nations are getting tired Of war.

AFFAIRS OF \ CRY.

Tho organ OF the american" marty
has recently made known something
more OF the purposes ol the politicians
of that Organization. Do said. in a To-
cal article day or two ago, that Cd
meeting OF the politicians had been
held and that
"The anars of the administration
were considerably discussed, and %
was the uUJi sense OF the meeting that
Mayor Huusford bc asked Co remove
an ofioeholders not belonging TO the
organization and appoint Americans

ID. Bur.ugame. Earl Ripley and Georg
S. smith were appointed "a committee

of the ward"
This is The program. then. OF the
political leaders Of the party pledged
Co give TO the city good administra-
ton.
It cannot be said that the administra-
ton of affairs is much improved as
yet. The new administration is pledg
ed to reform and 20 a more intem
gent handling Of municipal matters
than its predecessor in Office was able
10 give VIII the present incumbents
be able to make good their fair prom
Uses?
We sincerely hope that they viii
Some OF them, like the Mayor. are
men Of high standing and good i'm
pulses. No doubt most Of those in Office
sincerely desire to give "a good admin
istration. Ia this they viii have the
support Of all good citizens.
II there are any who think that they
were elected in order to do some in
jury 10 the Mormon" Church or peo-
pie, We beg 20 remind them that they
have mistaken their calling. They viii
have quite enough TO do without at
tempting 10 engage In any sort OF re-
llgious crusade. And they should not
make their task any harder than q
naturally is. A modern city is some
thing TO manage It is the great CEN
traI feature Of the age In which we
live.
An exchange notes that the modern
city has grown so rapidly that it's ad-
ministration has uot been able to keep
pace With ITS physical development. I,
has handled its problems in a haphaz-
ara way until they have become so
large as TO demand heroic treatment.
To house the people safely, 20 trans
port them from home to business and
back again. 10 provide places Of amuse-
rnent with proper precautions for pro
lection Of life, 90 teach their children.
To guard their health-these are some
OF the matters 70 be determined In
every city, and they all press for solu-
ton at once.
II Is this condition OF Things which
has led good many thoughtful men
to believe that no phase Of public ad-
minlstration makes such demands upon
citizenship as that of the city.
That belief carries with Il the con-
viction that no field OF service has
greater possibilities for the earnest snd
ambitious than are afforded In the
working out Of the problems Of mod
arn municipal control.
We assure an city officials that the
citizens generally desire TO aid them
IN this important labor. and that they
may freely seek the cooperative Of
forts Of any Of the reputable elements
Of society n giving this city first
class administration.
