National News Association

NEY YORK, Sept. 7.-Arbitration
treaties as a means to word peace
were attacked by ex-President Theo-
dore Roosevelt in an editorial under
his name in today's issue of the Out
look The former president strikes
with his characteristic vigor at the
propaganda of President Taft
In part he says: "It is one of our
prime duties as nation to seek peace.
1t is even a higher duty to seek right
eousness. 1t is also our duty not to in
dulge in sham, not to make believe we
are getting peace by some patent con-
trivance, which a sensible man ought
to know cannot work out in practice,
and which, if We thought to make it
work, might cause irretrievable harm.
Peace at Any Price.
Il think that the great majority of
those persons who advocate any and
every treaty which is called a treaty
for peace, or for arbitration, would be
less often drawn into a position that
tends to humiliate their country If they
would take the trouble to formulate
clearly and definitely just what it ia
they desire. OF course there are per-
sons wholly Indifferent to the national
interests, who in consequence, cannot
be reached by an appeal to national
honor or interests; and there are 9th
er persons whose ingrained personal
timidity is such that they are more
afraid OF war than of any dishonor,
personal or national.
"The proposed arbitration treaty ia
defective, in the first place because 1t
is not straightforward. The wording of
the treaty is SO loose, it SO lacks ex-
plicitness as to allow one set of its
advocates to announce that it binds
us to arbitrate everything and anoth-
er set to say that under it we would
not have to arbitrate anything. Now,
no moral movement is helped perma-
nently by hypocricy."
Col. Roosevelt attacks various claus.
es of the arbitration treaty az imprac-
tical, especially that providing for a
joint high commission to arbitrate dis
putes between nations. saying that nc
such body could decide the vital af.
fairs OF nation.

justice:
!. The evidence is plenary that the
intoxicating liquors whose price is
sought to be recovered in this case
were intended, when purchased out of

State.
2. When intoxicating liquors are
purchased by the steward of a club
for a club and are sold by him to the
members, such sales are unlawful.
g. Revised Statutes. Chapter %,
Section Ga, provides that mo action
shall be maintained" upon any claim
or demand contracted for any intoxi-
eating liquors purchased out of the
State with intention to sell the same
or any part thereof in violation of the
laws of this State. This statute af-
fords a perfect defense in this suit.
A. Revised Statutes, Chapter %,
Section Ga is a police regulation, and
was not enacted for the benefit of pur
chasers of intoxicating liquors. de-
Tense based upon this statute need not
be specially pleaded by way of brief
statement, or otherwise.
