For Universal Peace.

When you say $4,000, 900 all at once
it sounds big. Recently Mr.. Carnegie
established a fund of that amount to
be used in the interest of universal
peace. Mr.. Carnegie is aware that war
is hell. He has had some little ex-
perience in war himself as a telegra-
pher in the Union army. 1t is said
that he lost absolutely the first blood
that was shed In the civil war through
an injury received while he was at
taching a telegraph instrument to a
wire in the field. He hopes, as do
many others, that his 100000 900 will
do much toward bringing about the
paciication of the nations.
But, however large that sum may
seem in the abstract, as a matter of
fact it Is only enough to build n
modern battleship from whose armored
sides are to be poured death and de-
structfon. The waste of war consists
not only In the loss of life and property
through actual fighting, but also in the
immense sums and the gigantic collec-
tive human energy expended in pre-
pairing for war-or, to state it more
truthfully, in preparing to prevent
war. 1t has been said that in the Eu-
ropean countries where military serv-
Ice is compulsory every baby is born
carrying a full grown soldier upon its
back.
The burden of m~ilitarism bends the
backs of babes and adults alike. Mill
tarism inevitably leads to despotism.
1t is opposed to the highest ethics of
human conduct. Richard Rumbold,
with the halter about his neck, ex-
pressed magnificently a doomed mans
resentment against the despotism
which militarism makes possible when
he said, 81 never could believe that
Providence had sent a few men into
the world ready booted and spurred to
ride and millions ready saddled and
bridled to be ridden"
Universal peace, when all interna-
tional disputes shall be settled by ar
bitration rather than by war, is the
dream Of humanitarians of all ages.
Latterly the cause has advanced APP
probably. Mr.. Carnegie's liberal do
nation should forward the peace move
ment. Peace, indeed. needs her en-
doWments no less than war.

Fear a Powder Famine.

The German embargo on expOrta-
lions on potash reveals a phase of SET
iousness to the United States Govern
ment not heretofore considered. In
case of war our supply OF potash for
smokeless powder would be cut off
under the present situation. 1t is on
that account that the Administration
is vitality interested in the negotiations
with Germany for the removal of the
tax OIL exported potas'.
Should Germany, which las a mono
ply of the worlds supply of potash,
insist ON its export tax, the cost OF
powder would be nearly doubled, and
if the expectation of potash should be
prot lifted altogether, as seems to be
the disposition, apowder famine in this
as well as other countries would follow.
The Southerners in Congress are urg-
ing the President to declare a tariff war
with Germany if the equities of the
potash situation are not observed.
President Taft and his Cabinet are
still negotiating for the reduction of
the export tax.
