4 Hundred Years of Peace

It would be hard To exaggefate the impressiveness of this century mile stone in the history of pc ee. The Treaty of Ghent between Great Britain and the [ nited States was signed on December T, 1S1l, andsratilied by our Senate, February 17, 1s15. Owing to the slowness of communication in those days Stewart won naval victo- ries in the Constitution and .Decatur lost the President after the Treaty of Ghent was actually signed.
 The completion of this century of peace will be celebrated worthily both nationally and internationally, both | by the peoples and their governments. The first step has been taken in this country through the organization of a | National Committee and an lnterna- | tiona Committee. For the first Theo. dore Roosevelt IS Honorary Chairman
 and Elihu Root, Levi r. Morton Adlai E. Stevenson, William J Bryan, Alton B. Parker, and Joseph II. Choate are 1 Honorary Nice-C -Chmrmen; 9while in the actual working force Andrew Car negie lis chairman and Edwin Ginn and Albert K. Smiley are vice presi- dents. The executive committee con sists of Charles W Fairbanks, honora. ry chairman; Theodore F.. Burton hon orary vice chairman; John A Stewart chairman, and William II. Short, sec retary, with long list of men of dis tinction and experience in public life as members of the executive commit tee or chairmen of standing commit teas. An examination of the lists oI names inspires confidence in tthe rep resentatiNe character of the movement ana lleaves the conviction that the work Of preliminary organization has been carried on wisely and efficiently The plans for the celebration are not yet definitely fixed, but will be thor 1 oughly considered at meeting to be l held this autumn, Doubtless the va rious events of the War of 1872 and it, close will be commemorated in several ways and places; monuments on tht anadian frontier and at the scenes o 1 famons battles and obSerVances atNew Orleans afe among the plans in view But as 10 the large objects to be at tained under the guidance of this com, mittee, aided by private subscription and perhaps by Federal and State leg islation and appropriation, two thing, should be brought about: a permanent National monument of which we may be proud, and celebration at the ap propriate time by the peoples of Great l Britain and the United StAles.

The President on Arbitration

President Taft made note worthy
 speech on July 10 the Christian En-
 deavor Convention al Atlantic City.
 1t was noteworthy because it gave clearer intimation than the public has
 had before, from any official source, of the probable nature Of the anticipated general arbitration treaty with Great ] Britain. The President pointed out that great progress towards humanity | has been made: by amelioTating the ancient crueIties of war; by the immu- nifty of private property on land from destruction; by the anticipated agree ment to the Declaration of London, leading to the abolition of the quasi piracy that has always characterized naval warfare in dealing with private property Of citizens; by the recent Fur Seal Treaty, signed by England, Rus sia, Japan, and the United States, for the preservation of the seals from wan ton destruction Concerning which we give further account in another para graph and, last but not least, by the near approach of the signing of treaty with Great Britain for general arbitra- ton. This treaty the President defines in the following terms:
 The treaty which we are now closing with Great Britain eliminates these ex- captions and provides that all ques- tions Of international concern Of a jus ticiable character shall be submitted to the arbitration of an impartial tfibu- nal, and that whenever differences arise, before they are submitted to ar- bitration al all, they shall be taken up by a commission composed of some representatives from each Government that shall investigate the controversy and recommend a solution without ar- btration if possible and then shall de- eide whether the issues are capable of arbitration, and if so the arbitration shall take place.
 While Il must be confessed that the word 'Jasticiable' leaves the parties still 10 determine, in each question that may arise, whether it is justieia- ble that is, whether Il k one "proper to be brought before a court of justice") nevertheless an agreement phrased thus in general terms 10 refer all such cases to an impartial tribunal, unless they can previously be settled by di- plumacy, k q long step towards snbsti- tuting the appeal To reason for the ap- peal to foree.-Ghe Outlook.

Turning Real Estate
Into Money By
Means of a
Clothing
Sale

May sound like a queer transac-
tion, but that is what is being
done at 917 c st, here. Mr., J. w.
Moore, former real estate dealer
here, traded Eastern Washington
land for the stock of clothing and
furnishings at this stand and is
turning his land into money, at a
rapid rate, judging from the prices
marked on goods shown in the
windows for Saturdays sale. A
final cleanup Is being made.
Prices are cut squarely In two and
In some instances a reduction of
more than half is made. One of
two things is evident: A profit on
the deal has already been made, or
the balance of the stock is being
sacrificed to make a quick raise
in cash. zee

Newspaper Support.

A newspaper, IL 1t has any brains,
and muscle back of it, must
decide between doing its
duty and injuring it's pocket. In any
position but that Of an editor the
public is able to separate the individ-
ual home from the collective citizen.
But If an editor does not please them
it's at his pockets they aim. Thus it
is the newspapers learn who their
friends are, The man who reads the
newspaper and admires it all the year
round. yet gives his business support
to some other concern, whose princi-
Piles or the actions of its editor he
detests, is not a friend to the former
newspaper, There are too many men
who expect an editor To slave in de.
fense OF their pet notions and hobbies
and advocate their views against the

hold the business support by which

What Is the Campbell System?

The principles Of the Campbell sys-
TEN apply to every country, TO every
climate, ard to every kind of soil. II
is system for the perfect fitting of
the soil for the growth of plants, 40
matter what the plant may he, wheth-
er il be wheat, or corn, or cotton, or
peanuts.
The Campbell system of soil culture
provides for the preparation of u seed
ard root bed containing the proper
amount of both air and water for the
liberation of the greatest amount Of
plant food In the semi-arid regions
and in the irrigated districts this
means the storing of moisture in the
soil for the use of the plant in time of
need. In the humid regions it often
means ditching and subdrainage, but
at all times aud everywhere it means
an equalization of moisture in the soil
throughout the growing year, so that
periods of drouih. that are bound to
come, shall have little or no effect on
the crop yields.
The WHY, TIE How, AND THE WHEN
The trinity of the Campbell system
are the Why, the How, and the When.
There is no guess work about farming
under this system. The farmer who
knows the Campbell system and uses
it intelligently knows that he will
get a crop when he sows his seed = hail
and insects alone excepted.
First, the farmer must know why he
must do certain things. He must
know the scientific principles govern.
ing plant life aud its relation to the
soil. II he does not know this, he Is
liable to Inisinterpret conditions and
make grievous errors. Second, he
must know how to do the necessary
things. He must know what ma.
chinery to use. aud how to apply 1t.
A deep cultivation where q shallow
one Is needed may destroy his crop.
Third, he must know when to do
things. To plow when the soil is dry
is fatal, to cultivate corn in the morn
ing when 1t is half grown may do more
harm than good, the stalk being brittle,
damage may result from the least con.
tact
