By HAMILTON HOLT,
Editor Of the Independent-


There Is now pending before Congress
bill introduced by Mr.. Bartholdt, Of
Missouri. providing for the appointment
Of a commission to visit the chancellaries
Of the world and report back 10 Congress
articles OF world federation, limited TO
the maintenance of peace. so that our
recommendations 90 the third Hague con
ference of 1913 may be well considered
and far-reaching. President Taft has
given advance intimation that he intends
to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt as chairman
Of the commission OF five to be appointed
as soon as Congress has passed the act
It will be the first time in history that
government has officially recognized that
the true philosophy of the peace move
ment requires world federation as pre-
requisite for universal peace.
The only two powers that ever have or
ever can govern human beings are force
and reason-war and law. The problem
before the world is how to decrease the
area of war and increase the area Of law
until way vanishes and law envelopes
the world AT the present moment the
world is organized into fifty-nine nations
claiming Independence and within their
territories, nominally at least, organiza-
ton, law, and peace prevail. We have
already learned TO substitute law for war
in cities and states, and even up to the
fifty-nine nations; but in that interna-
tional realm in which each nation is
equally sovereign the only way at the
presen. moment for a nation to secure
its rights is by the use of force. In other
words the nations are in that stage Of
civilization to-day where, without a
aualm, they claim the right to settle
their disputes in q manner they would
put their own subjects to death for imi-
tating The peace movement. therefore.
is nothing but the process Of substituting
law for war.
But how can we best create law in the
international realm? Certainly not by
the cumbrous methods of the present.
To-day there is no such thing as a code
of International law which is binding on
the nations which are at perfect liberty
to accept Il or reject it. as they wish.
The history Of the organization of the
united nations" which gives sanction to
International law will correspond to the
history Of the organization of the thir-
teen American colonies into one nation.

Prof. H j. Kelland. who presides over

thrust into the matrimonial market of
Washington are in the very nature of
things the fittest sort OF women from
the fittest sort of families.
Then among the people who live per-
manently in Washington there is a rea-
son for the increasing discrepancy be-
tween the sexes. These rear families
and regularly thrust young men and
women upon the community. The girls
take their places among the already
crowded ranks Of their kind. The young
men find that they have no political in
fluence. being nobody's constituent. and
that they cannot get into the govern
ment service. Washington offers few
business opportunities. The bows, there
fore. seek their fortunes elsewhere.
Then the government service is a con-
slant call to women from all over the
country Those who succeed in getting
into it do so through competitive exami-
nations and because they are recon-
mended by their member of Congress.
To pass these examinations they must
have ability and education. To get the
necessary Endorsements they must have
standing So these women In the gov
eminent service are of an unusually high
order. Great numbers OF them have sis
ters or other female relatives dependent
upon them, and these come to Washing
ton. augmenting the female population.
Yet the men, particularly those of mar
rfageable age and inclination, are con-
stantly driven away from the Capital.

The peace advocates. from Penn and
Kant and Hugo and Burritt down to
Hale and Barth0ldt and Carnegie have

key to peace and disarmament. Even
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his remarkable Nobel
peace address the other day at Christi

force If necessary. The governments
themselves. however. have not yet off,
oially recognized that world organization

passage of the Barthoidt bill, however,

people of the world that the United

Transferring Patterns.

From the Philadelphia Star
The phrase applying transfers" means
stamping some object with a picture OF
design specially prepared for the pur-
pose. For instance, china, such as plates
dishes, &c, can be so treated by this
method that it is difficult to distinguish
it from hand painting. The picture OF
transfer. as 1t is called. comes ready
for use between two layers Of paper OF
thin cloth.
One OF these is removed and the trans
fer laid on the article TO be decorated
and pressed firmly.
Then the second covering is removed
and the transfer worked down smoothly
with a little roller.
This is to press out any air bubbles
that may have formed during the trans
fer process. When thoroughly dry, the
article decorated must be fired.
In trying a solution for making trans
fers take care to get the genuine article.
Not long ago bottles Of solution for the
purpose were sold at 10 cents each. Upon
investigation the contents was found &c
be soap suds. However, even soad suds

not lasting.

The result is an absence of matrimonial
opportunity for. this superabundance Of
women-women who are OF the highest
grade Of aeceptability, who are the Sc
lected best in the nation. In the accTed-
tied social circles there are few mar
riagable men. In business circles they
have been driven from the city. In deg
partmental circles they refuse TO marry
even where they might be acceptable.
The records OF women in the depart
ments show that those who enter might
as well leave all hope behind so far as
matrimony is concerned. One who visit
ed a government department ten years
ago and made the acquaintance Of fresh
and pretty girls may find these at the
same desks to-day, somewhat hardened
b. the work, set, mature, but performing
the same tasks. If he returns again In
ten years, the scene will be unchanged

ment employees in Washington are wom-

on the passing Of a spinster who has

RICE GROWING INCREASING.
Ex-Governor of south Carolina Says
State Produces Finest in World.

From the New York Sun.
Ex-Gov Duncan c. Hayward of South
Carolina. who served two terms, being
elected the second time without op-
position in the primaries. is at the Hol-
land House accompanied by Mrs. Hey
ward. He says he is out of politics and
has gone back to rice farming. He is
the owner of a big plantation on the
Combahee River
''The consumption of rice is increasing
tremendously throughout the United
States. said Gov Hayward yesterday,
and the production has likewise in.
creased. Louisiana and Texas. and now
Arkansas, having gone into the business
extensively. In South Carolina our rice
lands are lower than high water. and
higher than low water. which makes ir-
rigauOn easy. On my land somebody has
been planting rice ever since it was
granted TO an ancestor Of mine by George
III. In fact the first rice ever planted in
this country was brought 10 South Caro-
lima by Landgrave Smith, soon after the
colony was settled. The Carolina rice is
now pronounced 10 be the finest in the
world. The amount of rice grown In the
United States does not yet equal the de-
mand and rice is still imported from
Asia.
The farmers of South Carolina are
generally prosperous, which is due to
the high price of cotton mainly. The
agricultural bureau of our State Is CO.
operating with the national Agricultural
Department, and the latter is sending
down experts to investigate the posi-
bilities of the land for various crops,
Our planters are going in more and more
for diversified farming, and around
Charleston especially they are raising a
great deal Of truck. mainly for the
Northern aud Western markets. Bush
ness generally is prosperous
We are electing a new governor this
fall, but the campaign has not fully
walked up yet. Still there are already
four candidates in the field. LIeut-Gov
Mcleod. Mr.. Featherstone, a lawyer.
John G. Richards. jr., and Cole Blease.
We hold our primaries this summer, and
Of course the Democratic primaries are
decisive.
1.-THE prospects of Charleston are
brighter than ever. We expect a great
deal from the city from the completion
Of the Panama Canal. and 1 heard Presi-
dent Taft himself say that the shortes;
route 10 Colon is by way Of Charleston.
1t is hoped that the government will
send the mails by way OF that city. We
expect also great things from the
Charleston Navy Yard. though 1 do not
think the yard has so far been patronized
as 1t ought to be. The South Carolina
came UP to the yard the other day with
out the slightest difficulty, and any bat
tie ship in the world can do the same.
Charleston possesses great advantages
as naval station, for 1t has the only
yard south of Hatteras, except New Or
leans and it obviates the necessity Of
ship going all the way around Florida
for repairs. Besides the harbor is big
enough to hold our entire navy,
