CENTENARY OF PEACE.

OF making many celebrations there is

ticed. even though they crowd the cal
endar, and for that reason we are in
cIined TO regard with some favor the
proposal Of the Peace Society Of this
city that suitable recognition be ac-
corded TO the centenary Of peace be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
which will occur in the winter of 1911
10. The Treaty Of Client was made on
December y. 1914. and the battle of
New Orleans was fought on January S,
1915.
The Tooth anniversary Of those Incl
dents will therefore mark the compile
ton of q hundred years of unbroken
peace between the two great Anglo
Saxon nations, a relationship which in
the last few years has been so con-
fiTmed in every possible way that it
seems to be assured Of perpetuity. In
those hundred years. moreover, these two
nations have probably done more of a
practical character for the maintenance
Of peace and the abolition Of war by
substituting diplomacy and jurispru-
dence for arms than all other nations
put together. Surely such Il century is
worthy Of commemoration.
Nor should we forget that in the sec-
ond of the two years mentioned occurs
another centennial anniversary Of SINH
lar character and of perhaps even
greater interest TO the world at large.
That is the Tooth anniversary Of the en1
IF the Napoleonic wars and Of the last
war between England and France That
the centenary Of Waterloo will be cele-
brated on an imposing scale goes with
out saying. But the date will also mark
the completion of hundred years CT
peace between those two nations, whic!i
for centuries had been chronic aptago-
niEts. and the ending Of hundred years
since tie last general European war,
That, too, is worthy CT high conmem
oratiCn.
Three of. the greatest nations Of the
world are directly interested in thes@

partly vanquished. Not one Of the three
was wholly triumphant or wholly de
feated. Each one Of them had cause 70

eliminated and terminated in those two
lears. and has since had cause TO be

ceeded therefrom. To what extent the
centenary may be made Of international

of consideration That ii should receive

THE WRiGHTS AT OBERLiN.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago read a short article
on the front page CT your paper regarding
the comforting of the degree of LID. upon
Wilbur and Orvillo Wright. The article
stated that there had been disagree
nlent among the trustees; the Wrights had
left Oberlin; that the matter had been
settled and the Wrights returned to Oberlin
and received their degrees.
Being a graduate and in close touch with
college matters and knowing all the facts
regarding the degESes conferred upon the
must be false, and therefore took the mat
ter I'D with the college to. find out the cor
rect facts l find that the discussion
among the trustees was the relative pro-
priety Of comforting the degree of LID.
or Doctor of Science upon the Wright
brothers I find that. the Wright brothers,
with their sister Katherine, were in Ober-
lin two days, and that all three expressed
the greatest pleasure from their visit and
that Wilbur Wright made very pleasing
speech at the alumni banquet.
The college is using every effort to deny
the story as printed in the papers, which
understand was circulated through a
news bureau.

NR. BARNES.

The fine indignation Of Mr.. William
Barnes, jr., Of Albany, at the interior
ence of outsiders" with the Legislature
and his approval of it for repelling at
tempts at coercion is a moving specta-
Gle. We like nothing better than to see
Mr.. Barnes maintaining the indepen-
dence of the Legislature. Whenever it is
threatene. by an outsider" Mr.. Barnes
rushes to the Capitol, takes his place in
the room that is set apart for his use,
calls his faithful lieutenant Grady, and
together they maintain the dignity OF
the Legislature against all assailants,
whether they be Governors or eX-Presi-
dents. Without Mr.. Barnes and Mr..
Grady weakness might prevail and the
legislators might surrender their pre-
rogative Of doing wrong and persisting
in wrong. If Mr.. Barnes did not resist
invasion with all his force "outsiders"
might come to overthrow the sober and
deliberate judgment of the Legislature
and the Legislature might take orders
from men who have no business to inter
fere with it. But against all 'bossisIn"
from the outside Mr.. Barnes sets his face
like flint
No name is sufficiently great to terrify
Barnes, the unterrified. He is the palla-
dunn of our constitution. But for him
the executive and the legislative
branches of government would become
ineXtricably mixed. And but for him the
Legislature would cease to be a de1ibera-
tive body, listening only to the voice Of
its own conscience, and would be blown
about like thistledown by every gust Of
popular opinion. Outsiders would bend
il to their purposes as the reed is bent
by the blast. Senator Grady has told
how the honor of being legislator has
been debased in recent years by usurp-
ing executives. by newspaper bosses and
by impudent outsiders. But for his ally
Barnes's steady defence of it how much
further would the process Of decay have
gone,
Those who insist on technicalities may
charge Mr. Barnes, who is not a mem
Der of the Legislature. with inconsistent
cy for attacking interference by out
siders. But Mr.. Barnes is only tech
rically an outsider. His erTand boys
occupy more than one seat in both
houses. And he himself is entitled at
any time to the use of committee rooms,
and takes personal command of the de-
alterations of the Legislature whenever
circumstances seem to require it. Ii the
majority does not obey him to man.
the minority is always at his disposal.
So long have these things been SO that
he at least feels he is a member of the
Legislature, or perhaps the Legislature
itself. ard he certainly is its ever ready
and redoubtable bulwark against out
siders, the sole savior of the public from
hossism. the last obstacle TO the obsoles
cence of a constitutional form of gov
eminent.

will be in a few months. AS yet Liver
pool has nothing quite like it, but per
haps she may have when the proposed
6O,OOO-ton Cunarders are ready for ser
vice,
Some idea of the size of these steam
ships, should their construction ever be
ordered. may be obtained by comparison
with the Olympic and Titanic, how
building for the White Star Line.
Those vessels, which will probably be
completed next year. will each have
displacement of 60,0OO tons. and their
length will be $50 feet. Identity in
weight does not, Of course, involve iden-
THY in dimensions. A difference in model
might result in an increase or decrease
of length with the same displacement.
Still, it may be assumed that the pro-
posed Cunarders will be considerably
more than 800 feet long. 1t might not
be possible for two such ships to lie at
Southampton's most pretentious quay at
the same time, but with care one of them
might be locked there, end on to the
Mauritania, whose length is 7S3 feet.
Even If Liverpool should construct a
quay 1000 feet long. as she is said to
intend to do only a single steamship Of
the largest size now contemplated could
be accommodated there, though other
piers, little shorter, would probably be
available at the same time.
All of this has significance for New
York. The longest piers in the so-called
Chelsea improvement are S25 feet long.
Such ships as the Olympic and Titanic
cannot lie alongside them without ex-
tending out into the stream. When will
the metropolis of the New World match
the enterprise Of Liverpool and South
ampton?
