4 representative of the bank
ing interests at the Third Nat
ional Peace Congress. held in
Baltimore last week, remarked
in his address before that body
that the way to establish uniyers-
al and permanent peace was for
the financial interests to refuse
to supply the sineHS Of war" in
the future. This is mere ideal
ity and ideality has no place in
financial operations, nor has sen
timent ever touched the business
of money lending The continu-
ed warfare between nations un-
til within the last fifty years was
largely tis result of the fact
that up to that tine capitol was
most protitably employed In ex-
plotting itself by financing the
game of human slaughter for
political purposes. When the
present era of industrial enter
prise daWned. capital found the
channel Of industry more profit
able than that Of war. so It was
turned in that direction and war
languished The low interest
that nations now offer on war
bonds does not tempt the money
lender In these times: but money
must have employ nent, and
should the time ever come back
when it can be made to earn
more at the war game than in in
dustrial exploitation, then the
dove Of peace will take flight and

afterwards found that he had
three or four ribs caved in. Some

received his injuries at the hands
of one Of the attendants. There
was no howl on this occasion
from the Democratic papers IN

effort was made to hush it up as
soon az possible, and d pretend
ed official investigation resulted
in the resolution that the patient
had been hurt by accident. "
Governor Folk called for no
designations from the manage

discharged for connection with
the affair. 1t happened under

that when such things happen
