argument against naval expansion
Or do they demand ornaments be-
cause they feel that no reliable sub
stitute can yet be offered?
On the other hand are many peace
societies denouncing the wickedness
and folly and extravaganza of more
battleships and urging the United
States to set an example by reducing
its navy. On the other stands Rich
ard Pearson Hobson with his ''Prac-
teal Peace League" vehemently de-
handing an ever larger navy as a
guarantee Of peace. While midway
between the two. the Interparlia-
mentary Union and the Lake Hohonk
conference are inclined to treat the
subject as secondary, regarding arm
aments as results. rather than
causes, and seeking to perfect the
machinery OF arbitration until II
shall gradually displace most wars
and atrophy excessive armament by
making IL unnecessary.
Just where lies the truth Is din
cult to say. Doubtless future Hague
conferences will find some means OF
checking somewhat, by mutual agree
ment OF all nations. the impoverish-
ing increases OF armament. But the
work will be slow. Meanwhile sane
discussion of the subject will hasten
its solution. But radical exhorta-
ton concerning purely national arm
aments either of the Hobson or anti.
Hobson type. Is more likely to dc
feat than to accomplish anything Of
lasting value.

were no automobiles or steam yachts.
But the ancient Roman managed TO

and loaf too much, which are the real
dangers OF luxury. The trimmings

Root has freely expressed his belief
that the court can be put in opera
ton before the third Hague confer
ence, and Secretary Knox is report
ed to be favorable TO the project.
The recent record of the United
States in arbitration may well en-
courage hope that the initiation may
come from the United States--an
event greatly to be desired.
Obligatory Arbitration
Mr.. Root reured from the ONCE
OF secretary of state with two score
treaties of arbitration to his credit
an achievement OF which any states
man might be proud. These treaties
raised the number of similar pacts
between different nations TO about
eighty. by which practically every
nation Of Importance contracts To
submit to arbitration disputes not
involving its natinnal honor. Sweep
ing as is the exception, the value OF
the treaties is great. Obligatory ar
Litration in certain classes of cases
is directly recognized; and as the
machinery of arbitration is i'm
proved. national honor" will he
come less and less inclusive. The
Hague tribunal is growing in influ-
ence. And the plans for ? proposed
court of arbitral justice await only
the initiative of few nations in APP
pointing judges. Increased conf
dence in such agencies is almost
sure to follow in proportion to their
use.
And 1t is worth to remember
that the Porter proposition adopted
by The Hague conference af 1907.
agreeing that force shall not be used
to collect contract debts without an
offer of arbitration is nothing less
than universal arbitration of one
class of cases.

By JAMES a. EDcERToN.


T<HE career of Charles s. Deneen,
governor Sf Illinois, has been
one of storm and battle. When
he was trying to be lawyer he
tramped the streets of Chicago for
weeks seeking to find a job as clerk,
copyist, Office boy, anything, so that
he might finish his legal education and
get a foothold His eight years as
states attorney for Cook county, in
which he prosecuted grafters and big
criminals, even antedated the parallel
career Of Ex-Governor Joseph w. Folk
as district attorney Of st. Louis De-
mems first nomination for the govern
orship came on the seventy-ninth bal
lot after the longest and most bitterly
contested state convention contest in
American history. His second nomi-
nation was won in a fercely fought
state primary with bare majority OF
1900. In the election that followed
large numbers Of Republicans, includ-
ing organization leaders, openly fought
him, and he won out by only %, 164,
although Taft carried the state by
1922. Even then his troubles were
not ended. He was threatened with
contest, and the anti-Deneen Repub-
licans Of the house joined with the
Democrats and organized that body.
Despite all this fierce opposition, he
has generally managed to win his
Morris tribune., 1909-02-06

On June 2 the candidates all released
their delegates, but the delegates re-
fused to be released The morning OF
June 8, however, it was apparent that
something had happened overnight.
Governor Yates took the platform
withdrew his name and asked his
friends to vote for Deneen. Three
minor candidates followed suit: There
was nothing more to it. The Chicago
man won by nearly 1000 votes.
In Office Governor Deneen has made
enough enemies to down twenty ordt-
narily men, but the fates-or was it
his own grit?-pulled him through. He
had been in Springfield scarcely a year
before the fight on him started. The
first form it took was legislative in
vestigation Of state institutions. His
enemies averred that he had entered
into a deal with former Governor
Yates to keep in the old appointees,
and this has never been denied. At
any rate, the appointees were kept.
and right there the trouble started.
The report on the state institutions
was scathingly adverse, and as a re-
suit the governor undertook their re-
organization. There was an overhaul
ing and housecleaning, since which
time there has been little complaint.
His Greatest Fight.
The greatest fight made by Governor
Deneen was for state primary law
This he forced through, only to have
it declared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court. He Immediately called
the legislature in extra session and
had a new primary law enacted, and
under this his second nomination took
place. That contest was even more
sensational than the two weeks con.
yention of four years, previous. The
opposition candidate for the nomtna-
tion was the same Richard Yates
whose withdrawal had nominated De-
neen in 1904. 1t was charged that
part of the deal at that time was that
Deneen should support Yates for Unit
ed States senator in. place of Shelby
M. Cullom. If there was any such un-
derstanding circumstances were SO
changed that the governor found 1t
impossible to carry out the agreement
and remained neutral in the contest.
AS result, Yates charged him with
being an iceberg and generally made
Morris tribune., 1909-02-06

points. He now has four more years
| as governor and is still fighting.
The quality of Deneen is shown by
chance remark dropped while he was
prosecuting crooks, boodlers, bank
wreckers and ballot box suffers in
Chicago. 1t is good enough to frame:
my friends will not ask me to do
what is not right. If they do they are
not my friends"
The convention that first nominated
Deneen for governor will be remem-
bered in Illinois as one of the big po-
litical events in a state of big politics.
It met on May II and finally adjourn
ed on June 3, there being recess in
the meantime from May 20 to May 81
to allow the delegates to go home and
change their collars and, If possible,
change their minds. The festival was
presided over by Uncle Joe Cannon,
who broke all the gavels that could be
procured and wound up by trying to
hammer something out with croquet
mallet. There were seven candidates,
the three leaders being Deneen, Rich
ard Yates, Jr., the then governor, and
Colonel Frank o. Lowden, who was
supported by the federal brigade
There were 1,502 delegates, 752 being
necessary tc a choice. Seventy-nine
ballots were taken in all. The highest
ever got by Yates was 5O7; by Low
den, 631. Yates was generally in the
lead, with Deneen second and Lowden
third. The others were among those

and Swan Two Rivers.
In letter recently received at Lex
ington, KY, by a member of the Ma
tional Fox Hunters association Judge
A. Floyd Huff Of Hot Springs, Ark,
reports the return of his famous fox
hound Seminole, which was lost dur
ing the division field trial at the an
nual meeting of the association at
Crab Orchard Springs, KY, last No
vember.
Judge Huff reports that the hound
reached his home near Hot Springs
bleeding from all four feet and al
most starved to death from the long
trip. In making the trip from Ken
lucky to Arkansas the hound was
forced to swim the Mississippi and
Arkansas rivers and to cover dis
tance of over 900 miles. The most re-
markable part of it is that the dog
was shipped to Kentucky from Massa
chusetts and had never been in Hot
Springs.

CHINESE joke About Judge TAFT.
Here is another story about Taft in
the far east that is told by Frederick
s. Isham, the novelist:
Two Cinnamon in Shanghai were
discussing the president elects visit
to that place after the departure Of
the Taft party.
"Mr. Taft is certainly a very big
man. said one, making a gesture that
implied large circle as he spoke.
HE is that" answered the other.
"We have certainly had a considera-

our midst recently"
And yet they say Cinnamon have no

Motor Cars Do Not Stampede Cattle.

Ransom and Wellsford cattle ranches
Of Midland and Crane counties, in Tex
as, have placed orders for ten automo-
biles, according to Galveston dis
patch. These autos will be specially
made to endure the rough uses they
will be subject to In the semiannual
roundup of cattle.
Colonel Crowley, secretary Of the
Cattle Raisers' association, in describ-
ing the tests said: Cowboys can drive
through a bunch of a thousand head
of cattle in autos without even disturb
ing a steer. Some Of the steers may
stop grazing and stare in wonderment
at the machine, but you cannot STAN
pede them with an auto. A man on
horseback can stampede bunch of
steers quicker than lightning"

Before entering the race for govern
or Deneen broke with the Lorimer
machine. A fierce fight followed, but
he won a majority of the delegates
from Cook county. His nomination
and election to the governorship mark
ed the first time that the Republican
party of Illinois had chosen Chicago
man for that important Office. 1t is
true that there were two Chicago
governors before him. but one had
succeeded from the lieutenant govern
orship when Governor Oglesby had re-
signed to go to the senate, and the
other, Altgeld, had been elected by
the Democrats. Governor Deneen
married Miss Bina Day Maloney, the
daughter of a Carroll county farmer.
They have four children, one Of whom
was born in the executive mansion
Despite the bitter enmity to Gov
ernor Deneen on the part Of so many
in his own party and state, it is gen.
orally admitted that he is honest. It
is this that gives him his strength.
The American people will forgive al
most any sin In public man SO long
as it feels that he is sincere That
Deneen uses political methods is not
denied by his best friends. But he is
no mans man, will not bow down to
bosses, is a reformer In a conservative
way, and, above all else, he fights. That
is shown by his square jaw, his fash
ing eye and every line of his mobile
but determined face. 20,
