MEM 1ORh, MITCH "a Andrew
Carnegie. the man who recently gave
s10OO0.00 for the cause of interna-
tonal peace is today the warmest
advocate that can be found of Presi-
dent Tafts' new policy of peace
through arbitration agreements.
Not in years has anything so arous
cd the enthusiasm of the Laird OF
Skibo' and he is in almost communi.
cation with President Taft whom he
characterizes as the foremost apostle
of peace that the world has ever
seem
In an interview with the United
Press today Carnegie gave full APP,
proyal to the views recently express
ed by Lord Admiral Charles Beres-
ford through the United Press that
America and England working to-
gether could come near to making
war between great powers impossible.
IF Great Britai and America
should enter into such treaty, Car
negie declared. it banishes the posi-
bility of war within the wide boun-
daries of the English speaking races.
because we have faith in each other
and we know that as we have lived
nearly century and settled all dis
putes that have arisen the treaty will
be adhered to, to certainty.
Nov assuming that our race has
abolished war-as it has private war
-duelling--the effect upon other ma
tons would be overwhelming 1t must
be overwhelming Our noble president
the foremost apostle OF peace that the
world has ever seen announces that
already another OF the great powers
has officially informed him that 1t
was prepared to enter into such a
treaty.
Indeed this is significant, but it is
only what ] have expected that one
power will be followed by others, one
after the other. The fact is that i,
this treaty is adopted by the senate
overwhelmingly, it will so impress the
world that other nations will do as
the one nation has done already-asl'
to be allowed to enter the brother
hood of peace"
Why should America lead in this
movement Carnegie was asked.
That goes without saying, he re
piled with enthusiastic incisiveness
What nation has led the world il
government of the people. for the PEG
pie and by the people? Where is thu
nation in which any mans privilege i
every mans right under the law? W.

leading position but push on still fur
ther toward perfection, for there il
no limit to mans ascent on the earth
God didn't create man in his owl
likeness to go backward. Man is tn
product of the lower orders and ha
already become as Shakespeare says
In form how infinite, in apprehensio
how like a god"
already know many men an
women on earth who are so angeie
so forgetful of self, so careful of OIL
ers, SO exceedingly good that if the
