4 WORLDS COURT OF PEACE.

Two ideas have been prominent in
the minds Of the speakers at the peace
conference OF the present week. There
should be worlds court OF peace.
America should take q leading position
in advocating its establishment. Sug-
gestions of many sorts have been CIV
en- expression on different platforms.
They have had much or little to COM
mend them. These two seem to have
won the favor Of all the audiences.
THE world is becoming accustomed
to speaking in the terms OF peace was
the striking declaration made here by
the secretary Of war in recent publie
address. That fact lends Significance
to the expression OF hope that future
world expositions may eliminate dis.
plays OF the machinery OF war With
the language Of peace dominant In in
ternational relationships and the en-
gines OF war kept In the background. a
worlds court might soon gain such au.
thority as to be able to determine the
larger part of the difficulties that in
years some by have led to the clash OF
arms. q
The Hague court idea is long step
ahead The increasingly frequen;
meetings Of representatives Of the nd.
tions to consider the subject Of peace
are certain to have great influence. A,
first advisory In character, it is by No
means impossible that they might
soon take on recognized authority.
worlds court OF peace may be muc,l
nearer than any one would have dared
to think q few years ago.
This Is the hopeful thing. People
are getting used to the thought that
evils once counted incurable can be
wiped out. The fight against the
white plague is = notable illustration

protest on behalf of the board OF
supervisors of Fairfield township

equivalent to the amount paid by
the six sections was deducted from

Thams was there to protest. He
seemed to be possessed of the
idea that Commissioner Henry

responsible for the loss of road

somewhat heated in his remarks
