this conference is one of the impor-
tant steps that have been taken of
recent years looking toward the har-
monious cooperation between the ma
tons of the earth for the common ad-
vancement of all. In international
relations, think that the great fea-
ture of the growth of the last CEN
fury has been the mutual recognition
of the fact that instead of it being
normally to the interest of one nation
to see another depressed, it is nor
mally to the interest of each nation
to see the others uplifted"

Work May Be In Vain.

"o'N way DC IN vain.
Charles Miller, and his fight on the
physicians trust of the state, seems
to be f1ourishing in the house. but
there are definite indications that the
senate is only waiting for some of the
house bills to come before them, to
apply a delicate, but decided frost.
Miller seems to have a large part of
house with him, and the radical leg
1slatlon he is fathering has had the
best OF support. but these same meas
ures will get little sympathy in the
senate, and there are many indica-
lions that the quarantine laws of the
state will remain as they are. With
IN few days. bills will be introduce
ed into the state, which are much
more favorable to the board of health
than would be possible to get past
the house. In case the two bodies
come to loggerheads on the PROPOSE
ton, the present laws will remain in
force and Mr.. Miller will have his
work to do over again.
