International Promised Land"

THE court OF Arbitrai justice although
not set in operation by the second con-
ference. constitutes the international
promised land of the world today. Not
only will the idea OF such court hence
forth stand behind the wrong Of warfare,
but it will inevitably rule the future.
Two great Americans, Elihu Root and
Joseph II. Choate were the Moses and
Aaron who led the second conference into
the path toward this promised land; the
conference as the result of infinite toll
has led the world across the desert to
the Jordan. and now It is the growing
hope of the civilized world that Philan-
der Chase Knox will be the Joshua who
will take 1t across that one last river
the dificuity. namely, as to the appoint-
ment of the judges.
Looking hack upon this brief sum-
mary of the work Of the two Hague con-
ferences, we must admit that the past
at least is secure. The alienation and
prevention Of many Of warfare's former
horrors. its restriction within narrow lin
its. the protection Of non-combatants and
neutrals from Its ravages. the assertion
Of principles and the establishment of
practices for Its prevention and for the
enforcement OF justice-such were the
making events in the worlds history.
There they stand in all their undying lus-
ter. so that he who runs may see that
they have afforded to the peace-workers
on which every true believer in interna-
tional peace. Of no matter what complex
ion his belief may be, can And room and
opportunity for labor. and whose realiEa-
ton will not only make present arma-
ments as obsolete as would q feet OF air.
ships. but will at last usher in a reign
of law and justice within that No Mans
Land of international relations"
The Elbert County tribune., 1909-01-21

GERS was transacted there. The Off
GERS used the tent as a sleeping place
during the early period of the towns
existence. The site of the tent was
in a little cleared spot in the midst
of wilderness of brush and cactus.
The ancient Mexican hamlet of
Hidalgo was the county seat of the
county OF the same name for nearly
a half century. 1t is quaint, sleepy
adobe built town. situated close to the
banks of the Rio Grande and several
miles from the railroad which was
built up the Rio Grande valley for 80
miles few years ago. With the COM
Ing of the railroad many new settlers
came into the rich valley and began
to clear the lands and establish irri-
cation enterprises. These new citi-
zens now outnumber the old-timers of
the county. and they caused an cleo
tion to be held on October 10 on the
proposition of removing the county
seat from Hidalgo to n point nearer
the center of the county. At the time
the election was held the town of
Chaplin existed only on paper Its
II
chaparral 20 miles from the railroad
The county seat removal proposition
was carried, however, by a majority
Of 80 votes. The contest was bitter
one and state rangers had to be called
IN to prevent serious trouble between
the contending factions.
The day after the election the lead
ers of the Chaplin county seat move
ment learned that injunction proceed
ings against the removal of the county
records from Hidalgo were about to be
Instituted. In order to defeat this plan
the courthouse at Hidalgo was'entered
that night and all the county records
taken out and piled into wagon and
hauled across the country to the site
of the proposed town of Chaplin, where
the courthouse was established in a
tent.
1t was not long after the establish
ment of the courthouse at Chaplin that
people began to flock into the new
town., and the erection OF permanent
houses was begun. 1t still is a primi-
tive village in many respects, but it is
undergoing a rapid transformation
The tent which served for court
house has been replaced by small
temporary frame building. 1t is
planned to erect permanent court
house as soon as bonds for the pur-
pose can be voted and disposed of.
A new railroad is being built to the
town and it will have rail connection
with the outside world in few more
weeks.
