/ big powers and continue the process
until the United States shall be safe
guarded from war with every nation
capable Of doing serious damage. II is
a stupendous program, but carrying
it out within the space Of a few years
does not seem IMPOSSIBLE
This policy Of peace and arbitration
cannot, in reason, be regarded as a
final and complete remedy for the old
war evil which has existed from the
beginning. But a few such treaties
would at least give the world a new
viewpoint in regard to international
quarrels and emphasize the value of
the principle Of arbitration Such COW
enants might be broken under suffi-
cient provocation, and the fear Of this
would deter the nations from anything
like complete disarmament. But a good
beginning would be made in the direc-
ton Of permanent world peace. The
plan, if generally adopted. would soon
go far toward accomplishing it's ul-
innate purpose.
War is monstrous chiefly because it
ought not TO be necessary. There is
no sane reason why nations as well as
men should not settle their disputes,
in the end without fighting. II is a
matter of education. After all, the
great question is, are the peoples of
the earth sufficiently advanced to ac-
cept the principle of international ar
bitratlon and abide by IT? The time is
surely coming when they will be. Pres
ident Tafts program brings it closer,
even if it should never become any
thing else than a program.

THE DEMOCRATS.

Champ Clark has the Democratic
situation sized up correctly. He
says the party is on probation, that

the result Of votes cast by voters who
disregarded party lines and that these
voters are now sitting back watching
what the Democrats are going to do.
II the party makes good. Clark be-
lieves it's restoration to power will
be made more permanent.
1t certainly is critical period FOR
the Democrats, and unless they quit
fighting among themselves and get
down TO business on q harmonious
basis their period OF rejoicing lg likely

among them is whether the Ways and
