AN ADDRESS ON PEACE Willie George Emerson's Speech
 in New York

Willis George Emerson of Los Angeles delivered an address on Universal Peace" recently at the Metropolitan temple, New Yorl. As the movement for world peace is attracting wide attention now The Review publishes Mir. Emerson g address as follows:
 The eastern sky is purpling with a new day-a day of arbitration. Ar bitration is the watchword of the new century.
 We are told that this world of ours Tn it's daily revolution is nov ing at the rate of seventeen miles a second. It moves onward through calm and storm, throueb light and night the symbol or the progress of mankind from the midst of the pri- mal-the beginning-toward the goal Of fulfilled dreams and hopes.
 Time" the tomb builder Of the ages, is marvellous in it's accomplish ments.
 The enlightened nations of the earth have migrated from darkness and bisOtry of earlier generations. through various forms of goven- UeuNs and lnlS cNOluIOl IS EeSuiIaut from countless years of culture and the FeliIs of Christianity.
 Today a mighty peace wave among men and nations is being rapidly carried along on the mighty river oi enlightenment that rolls all round the world.

WAR--LIEE NOTE IS
 SOUNDED BY TEDDY
Arbitration Is All Right to Linn tied Degree-ReferS
 to Mexico

NEW YORK, May 19.-Former President Roosevelt in an article on the arbitration treaty with Great Britain" in the Outlook, says in part:
 Between Great Britain and the United States. it Is now safe to have a universal arbitration treaty be- cause the experience of 96 years has shown that the two nations have achieved that point of civilization where each can be trusted not to do to the other any of the offences which ought to compel any self-re- specting nation to go to war.
 But no language should be used in the treaty which should tend to obscure this cardinal fact. this car dinal reason. why the treaty is pos sible and desirable. Among private individuals, the man who, if his wife is assaulted or has her face slapped. will go to law about it instead Of punishing the offender forthwith, IS regarded with derision."
 Mir. Roosevelt refers to armed bod ies of Mexican troops firing across the boundary and the killing or wounding of American citizens ana says:
 "In this case we have chosen to submit to such invasions. as is our right and priyilc5o, il we so desire. But it would be absolutely intolera- ble to bind ourselves to arbiTate the questions raised by such invaslons-
 If, for instance. instead of being Mexican troors firing into our iniano fovyns end killing our citizens, IL hanpened to be an English or a Ger man or a Japanese fleet which, not once hut again and again fired into our coast towns, killing and ~ounu- ing citizens, this nation would lnl- mediateiy demand not arbltfaIloh' but either atonement or war

.REACTIONARIES ARE
 WAITING FOR SPOIL
Tories Representing Special Interests Will Smash Free
 Trade if Possible

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May ls.-- That reactiohary republicans in Ile senate are lying in wait for the farmers free list bill and other pro gressive legislation passed by the democratic house is becoming more evident every day. The obvious mo tive is. two-fold, to protect the mon opolies and profits of the tariff trusts and to prevent, if possible. the democrats from fulfilling prom ises made to the people.
 The group of senate Tories is still able to exert a tremendous in- fluence upon legislation. Having packed all the important committees of the senate with men who take the same attitude toward the paruc- ular legislation to come before them that the big corporations take, the reactionaries are in a position 10 continue serving special privilege by obstructing the passage of measures desired by the people.
 Among those whom the public may safely rely upon to oppose most of the progressive house measures are Gallinger, Shoot, Eorimer, Guggen- helm. Stephenson, Loose, Onser, Marre1, Perkins and a dozen others who will at all times have the hearty cooperation of Vice Presi- C-nt Sherman.
 Back of this group of reaction aries are arrayed the tariff trusts, the railroads. Wall street, Standard Oil and the balance of tine organized wealth Of the country.
 Fitted against this combination are the democrats and the progressive republicans. The latter forces will. when necessary. undoubtedly com bine to prevent the passage of a bad bill, but they will be helpless at times to prevent the Tories from obstructing the passage of progress sive house legislation such as the farmers free list bill.
 About the only thing the average icitizen can do is to keep tab on the votes of his individual represen- tative in both house and senate, not ing particularly whether they vote for or against legislation desired by the people, and when election time rolls around to act accordingly. Cooperating with the group of senate Tories that Is planning to in- terfere With the passage of such e--AAA A2 AsaN AAANe4oAA~r e-, tlAt AEEE 441k bill. is Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich oi Rhode Island. Nominally Mr Aid, rich is connected only with an in- stitution of his own creation, called the monetary commission. The com mission has q suite of rooms ad. joining the rooms occupied by the finance committee, to which will go Jl- free list bill.
 If it should happen, opines the Cleveland Press. that the doors were oucn between the rooms of the fl Lance Committee and the rooms oi | the monetary commission. it might happen that former Senator Aldrich might communicate with Senator 1 Penrose, the new chairman Of tho l finance committee, and thus the titu
 lar head of the senate majorlty might have the benefit of the views
 of the ex-leader (and possibly leader de facto) Of the United States sen ate
 As a matter of fact Mir. AldrfcI keeps in close touch with all the re dictionaries. just as he did while or ficially a senator.
