mir. CARNEGIE ON PEACE
Reply. to Letter From President Con-
tanning Suggestions Which Mr..
Carnegie Quotes as Objections"
and Proceeds to Answer.

New YORK, Special MI. Andrew
Carnegie, who is president of the
peace congress, gave out a statement
as to the results of the congress just
closed Although not so: designated
by Mr.. Carnegie, the statement con-
stitutes reply to some of the sug-
gestions contained in the letter which
President Roosevelt addressed to the
congress on its opening day. Mr..
Carnegie quotes these statements as
Objections" and proceeds to answer
them as follows: x \.
sssOur peace conference has brought
three, objections clearly before us.
First, Nations cannot submit all
questions to arbitration.
& g Answer, Six of them have recent
ly donc so by treaty-Denmark and
the Netherlands, Chile and Argen-
tina, Norway and Sweden. >.
"Second, Justice is higher than
peace. 49, -
"Answer, The first principle Of, nat
ural justice forbiti; men to be Judges
when they are parties to the issue.
All law rests upon this throughout
the civilized world, Were a judge
known to sit upon a case in which be
was secretly interested he would be
dishonored and expelled froll his
high Office. If any. individual refus-
ed to submit his dispute with a neigh
Dor to disinterested parties (arbitra
torsSor jadges), and insisted upon be.
ing his own judge he would violate
the first principle of justice. If he
.esortedsto force in defense, of his
right to- judge, he.4would be dishonor-
ed as a breaker of the law. Thus
peace witlljustice is secured through
sarhitratiorS seither by courtsof by trib-
nnag nsSeraby one of hesparties sit
ting as Judge in his own cause *
HThird,:it is neither peace nor JUS
tide, but, righteousness that shall
exat the nation.
Answer, Righteousness is simply
doing what is right. What is just is
always right What is unjust is Il
ways wrong. being the first prinei-
pie of justice that imen shall not bs
judges in their own cause to refuse
to submit.to Judge or arbitrator is un-
Just, hence not right, for the essence
of Righteousness is justice. There
fore men who place justice or right
ieousness above peace. practically pro-
claim as it appears to me, that they
will commit injustice and discard
righteousness by constituting sthem-
iselyes<sole judges of their own cause
in violation of law, Justice andsright.
Civilized man has reached the
conclusion that he meets the Gains of
justice and of right only by uphold

TIE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tabulate the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
list endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind Of attempt Is sure
ly not without interest, but 1t must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
