understanding that they could run

stated that they had contracted for
an acre of land for the school build
ing. and the deed would be preserved
to the board soon.

Mr.. BRYAN's PEACE PLAN

Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune says: President Taft
discussed the peace movement with
William Jennings Bryan at consider
able length recently, and in general
terms the arbitration treaty with
Great Britain, now in progress of
negotiation. Mr.. Bryan wrote to the
president some time ago suggesting
the ACCESSIBILITY of urging, in any case
where a nation was unwilling to COM
nit itself to the broad proposition of
arbitration of all international dis
putes.
This plan would provide that in
the event of a deadlock in diplomatic
negotiations the nations unable to
reach an agreement should submit
the question at issue to an impartial
tribunal every facility for determin-
ing the facts and equities and re-
questing it to submit a recommends
ton as to the proper and just method
of settling the point at issue. The
recommendation, however. should
not be binding on either party to the
dispute and possesses no force ex-
cept its moral influence. 1t would
further provide a fixed period after
the submission of such recommends
ton before either nation took steps
TO compel by force any concession to
it's views.
because of the somewhat pessimis-
tic views regarding the practicability
of the universal peace movement re-
Gently expressed by the German
chancellor. Mr.. Bryan suggested 70
the president the ACCESSIBILITY of bear
ing his suggestion in mind in any
negotiations which may ensue with
nations which are not prepared to go
10 the length of the central aribi-
tration treaty being negotiated with
Great Britain.
The president showed consider
able interest in Mr.. Bryan's sugges-
ton, although he did not commit him
self. beyond asserting to the propo-
sition and saying that such an agree
ment would be gratifying step IN
the direction of obviating resort TO
arms by nations which become in
volved in serious controversies.
Bryan spent about an hour with
President Taft and met the members
of the cabinet. He would not discuss
the availability of prominent demo-

ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?

+! This query is often heard where
/ people become dissatisfied with
! things and people. This is the aues-
ton that the officers of the board Of
trade would like to PROFOUND to the
members of this organization. Is it
because our meeting nights are the
first and third Friday nights in the
month, or is it because there are too
many meetings month, or would you
prefer to have the meetings between
five and six in the afternoon these
days, or have you joined the board
of trade just because your neighbor is
member, and you want people to
think that you are Just as prominent
in our city affairs as he is?
These questions are asked you.
through the medium of the press. be-
cause it is impossible to get you to
come out to the meetings of the board
of trade on regular meeting nights.
All boards of trade are run on the
basis of a better city, and all things
that are along these lines will be
gladly handled by the Ocala board of
trade. With a membership of seven
ty-five prominent citizens, who, if
they did their duty to both themselves
and their city, would make Ocala Sec
ond to no city in the state
1t is not a pleasant task to try TO
show the citizens of our beautiful city
their duty towards the betterment of
the city. Many members ask, when
they pay their dues, what has the
| board of trade done?
The board of trade has not done a
great deal as yet, but it is because
you (the members) have not coop
Grated and tried to help the officers
out. There has never been a propo-
sition submitted at our meetings that
has not been handled with prompt
ness and despatch, and possibly the
results do not show on the surface,
yet they are felt in different places.
The few members who have kept in
touch with the board of trade know
how hard it is to get results without
cooperation. You cannot do it in your
own business, so how can you expect
it from the officers of the board of
trade?
Notices of our next meeting will
be mailed, so that they will reach you
the morning of our meeting night, and
you will have no excuse to offer as to
not being notified. because you did
not see the morning and afternoon
papers. Make up your mind to put
everything aside on that night and
come to this meeting, because if your
chair is empty it will make the bal
ance of the members feel that you
have not the good of the city at heart
Any member who wishes to post him
self as to what the board of trade has
done can find out by calling on the
secretary of this association at the
board of trade offices, and he will
gladly go. over what has been accom-
plished. and what could be accom-
plished with the support of the men,

Ding Becomes Left Handed.

The cartoons appearing in the Reg.
lister and Leader this week with the
beloved Ding's" name in the corner
are the work of an amateur with the
left hand. Mr.. Darling is carrying
his right in a sling and may not get
it out for several weeks. The trouble
has not, come from cranking an auto
mobile or o fall from q cherry tree.
When boy he had an accident in
which the bones of his right arm were
fractured. This weakened the hand,
but he has used it all these years in
pleasing and educating the people.
For the past few weeks he has oyer
strained It trying. to convert Iowa to
reciprocity with Canada without any
concessions from the eastern manufac-
turers and the result Is his arm is
in sling. The nerves of the right
hand are paralyzed and q Chicago
specialist says the good right must
be given q rest until he can recover his
lost nerves. So Ding is trying the
experiment of making pictures with
his left hand. While they do not con.
tain all the hourishes we are accus-
toned to see they look very well and
contain the idea and that Is the prin-
ciple thing in picture. Here is hop
ing. old boy Ding, that the right will
in short time prevail. --Ames Intel.

Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Bilharz, with
Chas. B. Elliott as driver, left Audubon
this morning at 5o'clock for Des Moines,
which is the first run of a pleasure trip in
their Pierce-Arrow automobile. Their

viii occupy some two or three weeks.
From Des Moines they will run to Win
terset to visit Rev. and Mrs. A.. A.
Walburn. the ladies being sisters.
Thence to Iowa City to visit Mrs.
Abrams, another sister. From there to
Marengo to see the Motifs and others
and then to the old home of Mrs. Bill
harz near Preston in Clinton county
where she has brother and other rela-
tives. Davenport and Cedar Rapids
will also be included among the stops
they will make in the journey. Their
friends are wishing them nothing but
good luck and much pleasure, except
that they may be laid up by the way on
account Of muddy roads.

The speaker insisted that there are
some things concerning our liberties
that are worth while our time to con-
slider. We should not forget that it
was work and service and sacrifice that
secured our liberty. The Puritans
came to New England, the Catholics to
Maryland and the Huguenots to Geor-
gia to enjoy liberty of service. OF
Washington he said: mo nobler figure
ever stood in the forefront of nation s
life" He had hope and courage and
nerve; and also generous heart that
led him to expend $84, 900 of his own
money for the success of the Revolution.
Paul the apostle frequently said, II am
a Roman Citizen" and it many times
saved his life. We should consider it a

a plea for better citizenship, hoping the
time would soon come when all men
would be glad to attend the election to
vote without being urged or hauled to
the polls. Mr.. White made o good ad-
dress, but made the mistake Of not cut.

The Real Reason.

Why was not Judge Green excluded
from q seat in Congress, when the law
of Iowa distinctly says he was not eligi-
BILE to Q seat? We confess that when
the question was first sprung we were
disposed to look upon the dictum Of the
state as being conclusive on the subject;
but a little reflection will show any one
that congress is the sole Judge Of the
question of the election of members.
and the Constitution of the United
States Axes the matter Of eligibility to
q seat in congress, regardless Of what
the Legislature OF Iowa or any other
state shall say about it.-Anita Republi-
can. ..-.
That's correct. The law Of the state
making judges ineligible for any other
Office during the time for which they
are elected applies to state loffices only
and not to any Federal Office.
