y Life naturally must be more inter
esting to the person Of vivid imagina-
ton than to one who lives only for
the tangible things about him and
who Gears to dream as his fancy wills
because reality bears heavily upon
him. We do not think that even the
man Of affairs would find the indul-
gence of few day dreams detrimental
to his interests, while to those who
look only upon the serious side Of life
and share only Its darker aspects,
few dreams Of what perhaps may come
to pass would act as tonic upon tired
nerves, gays the Charleston News and

panions to US, and sometimes we find
ourselves moving unconsciously with

called upon to bear during our waking
hours. The world which is our idea

NO MERCY FOR BIG CRIMINALS
President TAFT Refuses to Pardon
Morse and Walsh-- Crimes
Against Society.

Washington.-Pres Taft de-
MED the applications for the pardon
sof Charles w. Morse, of New York,
and John R. Walsh, of Chicago, the
two most prominent bankers ever
convicted and sent to federal peni-
tentiaries under the national bank
ing laws. Not only did the Presi-
dent refuse to pardon either Morse
or Walsh, but he also declined at
this time to exercise any other sort
of executive clemency in these cases,
or to shorten the sentences imposed
upon the two men by the courts in
which they were convicted.
In denying the pardons the Presi-
dent took firm stand that the nat
ional banking laws or any other laws
must be upheld when they affect the
rich man even more than when they
affect the poor. The record in the
Walsh case, the President said in a
long opinion, Shows moral turpi-
tude of that insidious and danger
Gus kind, to punish which the nat
ional banking laws were especially
enacted"
In considering the case of Morse
the President said that, from con-
sideration of the facts in each case
| have no doubt that Morse should
have received heavier sentence than
Walsh. Indeed the methods taken
by Morse tend to show that more
keenly than Walsh, did he realize
the evil of what he was doing"
In his opinion in the Walsh case
the President protested against the
failure to discriminate between
legitimate business and improper
gain.

to death by his high collar. Beres-
ford fell asleep in his chair in a
cafe. His head droppedsto one side
and the stir collar shut off the cir

was blamed, but later the coroner
and DR.. Patton found the throat in
a condition that indicated strangula-
tion beyond doubt.

There is also a narrow-gauge rail-
road to the coast. Taking it for
granted that Diaz would take the
more luxurious route, the bandits did
not modest the narrow-gauge road.
For this reason 1t was chosen by Dia2
for his trip.
Presumably, De la Barra and the
higher governmental officials have
been informed of Diaz's movements,
but their lips are sealed on every de-
tail.
Even Americans high in authority
with the road have been impressed
with the necessity for maintaining
silence.

Executive, including those who are
to accompany him across the Allan
tic, fell in behind the Diaz auto

i It Is rather comfortable to hear that

q strict analysis OF the prophecy of
short life for our ore supply would
disclose that it refers only to the ex-

then they are predicated on the main

Mexico City.-President Porfirio
Diaz, in a letter read by the presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies,
Thursday afternoon resigned the
presidency of the Republic of Mex
leo, and at Asa o'clock the accept
ance of the resignation by the Cham
Der of Deputies was announced.
President Ramon Corral's
resignation was also accepted, and
Minister of Foreign Affairs Francisco
Leo De La Barra was chosen Pro-
visional President to serve until a
general election can be held.
Everyone had expected an uproar
when the announcement should be
made, but within the chamber the
words announcing the event were fol-
lowed by silence. The deputies
seemed awed by what had taken
place.
In the streets, black with people,
the news that Diaz was no longer
the president was the signal for wild
shouting and manifestations. There
was no violence or destruction of
property.
On the motion to accept the Presi-
dents resignation 1877 deputies voted
aye, while no expression was. made by
Benito Juarez, descendant of Presi-
dent Juarez, and Conception del
Vale. AS their names were called
all other legislators rose and bowed
their affirmation.

FOR WORLDWIDE PEACE
Carnegie Endowment Plan Outlined
at Mohonk Conference
Council Named.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y.-At the open
ing of the seventeenth annual meet
ing Of the Lake Mohonk Conference
on International Arbitration, Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler, of Co
lumbia University, presiding officer
Of the conference, for the first time
made public the plans of the Car
negie Endowment for international
Peace.
President Butler in his address
said:
ut has been determined by the
trustees of the Carnegie Endowment
to organize the undertaking COM
mitted to their charge as great
institution for research and public
education and to carry on its work
in three parts or divisions divi-
sion of international law, division
of ECONOMICS and history and di-
vision of international education.
The division of international law
will be under the direction of Prof.
James Brown Scott.
For this purpose the endowment
will associate with DR.. Scott con-
sultive board composed of some of
the most distinguished International
lawyers in the world.
THE second division of the work
will be under the direction of Prof.
John Bates Clark, of Columbia Uni
versity.
1T will be the business Of this
division to study the economic causes
and effects of war; the effect upon
the public opinion of nations and
upon the international goodwill, of
retaliatory, discriminatory and pref
erential tariffs; the economic aspects
of the present huge expenditures for
military purposes, and the relation
between military expenditures and
international well-being and the
worldwide program for social i'm
provement and reform which is held
in waiting through lack of means for
its execution.
For the third division the direc-
tor has not yet been announced. 1t
will Sbe the function of this division
to supplement the work of the two
divisions"
The report of the Mohonk commit
tee appointed two years ago to con-
slider the establishment of national
council for arbitration and peace was
presented by DR.. George w. Kirch-
wey, dean of the Columbia Law
School. 1t creates such council,
with the following members:
President Nicholas Murray Butler,
Senator Theodore E. Burton, DR..
Samuel T. Dutton, Hamilton Holt,
Theodore Marburg, William j. Bryan,
Dr.. George w. Kirchwey, Edwin D.
Mead, Senator Elihu Root, Daniel
Smiley, Dr. James Brown Scott, DR..
BENJAMIN F. Truebold, President E.
D. Warfield, Miss Jane Adams and
Mrs. Fanny Andrews.
William Jennings Bryan led the
general discussion. He commended
that the proposed Anglo-American
treaty meant the end of war, because
it provided that all disputes, with
out exception, were to be submitted
to arbitration. He hoped that Japan
would be included in the list of ma
tons with which treaties were to be
made.
He believed, however, that the
chief source of trouble was the ar
mor-plate industry.
