THE PEACE OF THE WORLD.

In an address at Atlantic City the other day
The president remarked that such arbitration
treaties as he is concluding will not necessarily
abolish war, but will provide most effective
and forcible instrument for preventing it. That
is a very conservative statement OF the case.
Great nations do not now violate treaties, or
even, when dealing with other strong nations,
usually seek to eVade them. The conclusion
Of su.h treaty that is now apparently ready
fer signature with Great Britain would render
war between the parties to it extremely improb
able But the conclusion of such treaties does
In,ch 1nore than that.
1t teLds to Great throughout the world pub
lie sentiment which will soon make barbarty
impossible. War is barbarism pure and simple,
a survival Of the instincts Of the cave man. And
the masses of the people Of the civilized world
who bear it's burdens are determined to be done
with it. regardless Of the theories Of philosophers
or TIE ambitions of statesmen. Much is said
about the assurance which great ornaments give
OF the maintenance of peace But the plain
people of the world are of the opinion that,
rcgarl Hess of the efficiency Of ornaments as
peacemakers, the absence Of ornaments is a
much better assurance. And there are some who
say, and even openly declare, that the greatest
obstacles to arbitration agreements are the own
of the great plants for the manufacture OF
engines of destruction.

A HoTBED OF INTRIGUE.

Alaska appears to be the prize around which
d hotbed oil intrigue is constantly gathered.
Accusations Of all kinds, most Of them absolutely
ridiculous, are made from time to time, as III
the Controller Bay The Guggenhem
cases were not much more substantial And yet
the Guggenheim cases were strictly proceeding
according to law. Executive interference stopped
them, to be sure, but we do not wonder that
Daniel Guggenhem, on the of his departure
for Europe declared that the times were out
OF joint, the law being set aside and no
one could proceed with any safety under 1t.
1t is manifest that, under the surface OF
things, very powerful interests are contendlGg
for advantage in Alaska. Just what those III
terests are have not, 50 far, been disclosed;
but every time that finger Is poked INTO Alaska
affairs 1t testers
The recent charges against Attorney General
Wckersham are evidence OF the keenness with
which the Alaska fight Is being Waged. That the
attorney general is willfully allowing cases to
outlaw before beginning proceedings, when all
the facts were in his possession, is too raw
proposition for belief; but evidently some sort
OF explanation must be made.
In the meantime the government is losing
nothing in Alaska; it holds everything that it
ever held. 1t is evident, on the other hand,
that the settlers gaining nothing. They can
not get land, they not get coal mines, they
can not get water power they not get tim
Der. The result is that in the decade from 1900
to 1910 Alaska alone, of all the great unset
tied possession Of the United States, showed no
progress. In 1900 the population Of Alaska was
1882; in 1910 it was $780, gain of but 764
in ten years. That is progress at all.
Those who would live do business in
Alaska are not allowed to take the coal that is
right under their feet, and that they could mine
at cost not exceeding 50 per ton. But they
must buy British Columbian or Australian Goa
at from $13 to $50 ton.
The gold mining in Alaska serves to keeI
things stirring during the summer. The Cop
per River railroad and mining operations show
substantial prosperity, but aside from these
Alaska is dead.
If the house investigation will develop tn,
reasons for this paralysis of Alaska, and vii
disclose the real elements of contention there
the big interests that at war, and that Sc
far have been mutually destructive, it will hav,
done good thing for Alaska as well fo
the whole Of the United States.

TIME FOR CONGRESS TO QUIT

West Virginia s new United States senator,
the Hon. Clarence Il. Watson, is tired of this
long drawn out special session Of congress and
would end the agony by putting three pending
measures to vote in the senate and then hav
ing both chambers adjourn. He has moved
that vote the Canadian reciprocity bill be
taken next Wednesday, that the farmers free
list bill be put to the voting test on July 20
and that the fate of the Underwood woodland
woolens bill be decided ON July 81.
~ believe" declared the West Virginian,
"that SO per cent Of the people of the United
States desire that the senate should vote on
the pending measures and then adjourn. | here
with give notice that | shall renew this motion
daily until agreement has been reached"
There was a multitude of objection, of
course-one by Senator Bristow, who complained
of a disposition to hurry the Canadian reel
procity bill through the chamber so that an adj
iournment may be reached without any consid-
Grafton of the corrupt practices BILL the Arizona

reciprocity bill in hand for the better part of
two months. And it has repeatedly been dem
onstrated that the members are in

tesy of the senate will permit The opposition
has practically talked itself ont. 1t was only
on Tuesday that Senator Penrose announced that
unless some senator ready to talk he would
insist ON having vote taken on the bill right
then and there. Thcreupon Senator Bailey of
Texas took the foor-and held il for four
hours!

MORE ABOUT THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN

Il wish you would keep after that foun-
tain. | would give $40 myself toward it, and
| know of another party that would do the
same" This statement made last evening
to representative of this paper, and is one
OF many that goes to show the sentiment of
the citizens of the town.
At the Butler theater is drinking tank
that is filed from two to three times day.
and ether places where women and children
can secure drinking water find plenty of pat
ronage 1t is very lame excuse that the com
missioners have for not installing the public
drinking fountain, and because they have no
use for such stuff they should not think
that the women and children would not appre-
ciate the necessity.
Merchants all over the town will tell you
that customers are continually asking for drink
ing water, and if the commissioners cannot find
the merchants that make this assertion, the
Bonanza will give them the names.

A LAW THAT "oUEERs' BUSINESS

We suppose that ninetenths of the business
operations of the United States have been car
ried on for years past in pursuance of such un-
derstanding as the United States government is
now seeking to punish. Does the fact that gen
eral business in this country has been dullAr
during the last two years than in Great Britain
France and Germany have any relation to the
other fact that manufacturers two years ago
were scared out of such understandings as had
previously existed among them?
We believe that there is here to be found
a case Of cause and effect Is it not the Sher-
man antitrust law that is holding back indus
trial activity and prosperity in this country at
the present time?
