Friends of Peace.

Since the last Lake MOhOnk as
sembly there has been another
peace conference at The Hague. 1t
is confidently believed that at the
convention due TO open at Lake Mo
honk today the results Of the inter
national meeting on the other side
of the ocean viii be highly com
mended.
AS the preliminary notice from
Lake Mohonk has it, the second
Hague conference was of most sub
stantial service to the world and to
humanity" For much of the serv-
ice there rendered and recorded the
world is indebted TO the ardent en-
thusiasm and impressive eloquence
OF the American delegates. No
where in the world can the achieve
ments of The Hague conference be
more fittingly, more sincerely cele-
brated than in the United States.
The Washington times., 1908-05-20
Business Office Editing.

Certain phrases like Counting
room newspapers" are appearing
with more and more frequency in
our magazines. They are used to warn
Americans of the danger of a press
which serves any master save its
readers. To a degree the warning is
needed-for, while American news
papers as class are corrupted
neither by their advertisers nor
their friendships, the danger is
real, and can only be guarded
against by an active public watch.
But the assumption that this men
ace hovers over the United States
alone is all wrong. It is omnipres-
ent. Wherever newspapers are pub
lished they depend chiefly on their
advertising for their revenue, and
wherever that dependence exists
there is reasonable fear that the
notwithstanding asserts his interest
positiveIy-wiII be considered before
public which sometimes does not
assert its interest at all. News
paper makers are more alive to this
than most of their critics. Where
fore the offense of business-ofice
editing is comparatively rare.
A sorry proof has been offered
lately of the Wilderness of the dan
ger. It comes from London, and
from that bulwark of newspaper in
dependence which would present it
self to most critics of American
newspapers as the exemplar of their
| best aims-the London Times. The
Thunderer has been found guilty of
libeling a publisher in a book re
view and letter. The review
claimed that a work produced by
Mr.. John Murray and sold for three
guineas could have been put on the
marketprofitablyfor 10 shiIlings, and
the letter, which was signed "Arti-
fex," represented that the publica-
ton was an effort TO cash in the
personality of Queen Victoria.
Beneath these allegations lay the
facts that the business office of
the Times inserted the comment in
the reviewers judgment of the
book, and that "ArtifeXT was a
business employe who had charge
of a book club and had tried TO OBJ
tain copies of Mr.. Murray's volume
at a heavy DESCENT. On these cir
eumstanees being disclosed in court,
Mr.. Murray was awarded damages
amounting to $57,50o.
! The teaching Of such an episode is
The Washington times., 1908-05-20

Miami, a city with a real need for a
building, was left for the Senate to
provide for.
California and Texas and okla
homa are three States which give
the committees grief. In each is a
group of magic cities, growing at a
rate almost unbelievable, and re-
quiring constantly increased public
building facilities. They are never
satisfied, simply because Congress
can't keep up with their demands.
Chicago gets this year S1,50o,o0o
for new postpffice building. This
one win be a postofice building
merely. The wonderful arehitee-
tural pile which was recently
opened, and which was so long in
building that it was almost a ruin
before it was finished, and was alto
gether outgrown by the business Of
the Office, cannot longer accommo-
date the demands upon it. The plan
of simple, business-like structure,
especially adapted for postofffce
uses, with plenty of good light and
air and space, and no extra archi-
tectural pretensions, viii be car
ried into effect in Chicago.

obvious. When the Times under
took to make money out of book
club it deliberately put in question
its comments on books When any
one in its business Office obtained
authority to make over its reviews,
the paper sold itself to the business
Office and betrayed its readers.
When a newspaper is in the hands
of such 81 management, the loss of
its prestige is only matter of
time.
