THE ERA OF PEACE.

For some years past, the
elimination of War, as a method
of settling international disputes,
has engaged the attention of
some of the most conservative
and strongest statesmen of the
prominent nations Of the world.
But never before, has this de-
sire been so widespread as at the
present time and never
has the prospect of it's accomplish
ment been so favorable as now.
An agreement, looking to this
end, has been proposed by the
United States and entered into
by England and France, and
other prominent nations are ex-
pected to join it in the near
future. President Taft has done
much to promote this feeling,
and deserves credit for his efforts
to have all questions between
nations settled in the same and
sensible forum of arbitration.
The recent Peace Conference
held in the city Of Baltimore was
notable affair; was addressed
by distinguished speakers, and
did much to foster sentiment
for arbitration, in settling inter-
national questions.
It does seem a travesty upon
the civilization Of the Goth
century, that christian nations
should 60 to war and butcher
each other, to assert their fancied
rights and settle their differ
ences.
The fact is the result Of war
does not settle any principle of
right. It simply \ determines
which dog has the strongest jaw,
and leaves the question of who,
in fact, is right and who is
wrong, as far from settlement
as before a gun was fred.
We hail the dawn Of the era Of
peace, and hope the world will
realize it's full consummation;
when nations shall come to
that point of christian civilization
that they shall beat their swords
into ploughshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks; nation
shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn
war any more. democratic

ONE-CENT LETTER POSTAGE.

It seems that the people who
write letters are required to pay
the cost of carrying in the mails
those things out of which no pro-
fit is made. The revenue on
frstclass mail matter is said to
be 1882, 900, 900 a year. Of this
$50, 0O0,0 900 is profit and it goes
to making up the deficiency on
other classes of mail matter.
These facts and figures are used
by an association which visited
the President the other day as
the basis of a demand for one
cent letter postage. Several re-
auctions in letter postage have
been made in the past, and each
reduction, we believe, has, after
a short interval, been followed
by an increase of revenues in
stead of a decrease. There must,
of course, be a limit below which
the carrying of letters would be
improbable. But with proper
management the carriage of
letters at one cent per ounce
should yield a handsome profit,
and undoubtedly people would
use the mails more freely and
write more letters and possibly
send out more bills with a one
cent rate. 1t is not the design
of conducting the Postoffice De-
partment that it should yield a
profit. The idea is that it is
maintained as a public con-
venience and that the best that
should be expected is that it
should be self-supporting. And
it surely is not fair nor reasonable
to make the people who write
letters pay the cost of carrying
the Congressional Record and
other Government matter. :

EVANGELINE
~
PARISH.
The" Miles Company LIS Sup
Dosed to Have Struck the
Fluid Near Pine Prairie.

New Orleans, Dec. 22. After
spending over $135, 900 in drill
ing operations, acquiring over
800 acres of land, and spending
three years of effort to strike
oil in Evangeline parish, the
Miles Mineral Company are be-
lieved to be now in sight of their
goal. The operations have been
carried on about Is miles from
Eunice. Gas and oil have already
been struck in several OF the
wells that have been drilled, and
it was reported that four
barrels had been obtained from
the well which is now being
worked on, a few days ago.
That something was about to
break" was the gossip Of the two
towns Thursday, a report having
been given out by one OF the
hands employed at the drill that
four barrels of oil had been ex-
tracted from we'll No. 8, that is
now being worked upon.
Judging by the tenor in which
well No. 8 was spoken about by
those of the drilling crew and
Superintendent Steward, under
whose charge the operations are
being conducted, this we'll should
prove a success. It has been
drilled in such a position that it
misses the deep layer Of salt,
which has hindered the work on
some of the previous shafts,
while being in close proximity to
wells in which gas and oil, or in
dications of, them, have been
found.
