Third Peace Congress.

Another note in the universal peace
propaganda is being struck today by the
third National Peace Congress, in session
at Baltimore The influence of this gath
ering will radiate into many parts of the
world. and will do it's share toward the
building up of peace sentiment and in
bringing The peoples of the world into
closer and better understanding.
1t is the object of this congress. TO
quote the preliminary notice. to deal with
the two leading lines of peace work.
First, the awakening of the public con-
science by addresses directed against the
folly and injustice that flow from war,
together with the economic waste of uni
versal ornaments; and, second the prac
teal means of making war difficult by
establishing institutions which will take
away the excuse for war.
The present congress. II is believed, will
be more notable than either the first
National Peace Congress. which was held
in New York in 1907, or the second, which
was held at Chicago in 1909
The place to be chosen for the holding
OF the fourth peace congress should be
Washington. This is the congressional
city. Whether in the matter of peace or
war the capital is the central city of this
hemisphere. and one of the central cities
of the world It is the place where a
congress or convention needing whole
some publicity should meet. Washing
ton is city whence news wires radiate
TO all other parts Of the world, and news
is one of the important products of
Washington.

The Tariff Has Arrived.

Sweet are the uses OF adversely. AS
sweet are sharp differences about public
policies and vigorous discussions OF them.
They lead to light and good things.
The democrats of the House have now
reached the real tariff question. and are
dividing. Canadian reciprocity was easy
for them. IL fell in with the generalities
o. their long time professions. and af-
forded them a start. They hailed it as
something in their own line and borrowed
from them. though their play for parti-
san capital with that text was by no
means strong
The so-called soothing strip for the
farmers that followed. and is now in
hand. was prepared without difficulty
An appeal for the farmers-who are a
most worthy class-deve'ops many poll
ticians in both parties at their best in
eIoouence Recall past tariff debates in
Congress. and countless stump speeches
made in heated campaigns. and then con-
slider that many democratic strongholds
are agricultural What more natural
than for the majority OF the present
House TO make the farmers an offering
In the way of free list?
But now comes wool, and following will
ne cotton, and then, at the next session
IF not at this. the metal schedule will
claim attention. Things are getting
warm" The way OF the tariff reformer
begins to be hard Generalities no longer
guide. Details are at hand, and they
lead in many directions and produce con-
fiicting counsels With 1912 Turing and
yet warning Mr.. Underwood and his as
sociates are propounding to themselves
that famous inquiry, What shall We do
to be saved?"
The situation is both SOLDERING and in
spring. For one thing it brings to the
democrats a full knowledge of what the
republicans had to contend with two
years ago. Instructions had been issued
the previous November for a revision OF
the Dingley law, the task being imposed
on the republicans. 1t was one of great
difficulty because OF the fact that the law
in fits earlier stages had been an unquali-
fed success. But that very success had
produced Inequalities requiring correc-
ton: and the problem was to make those
corrections without impairing the basic
principle = protection - upon which the
whole law rested.
The work done did not meet with the
approval of the country. States that had
entered into the calculations of the re-
publican revisers voted against the re-
vision, and joined other states with
smaller stakes in the tariff In demanding
lower rates OF duty on many manufac-
tured products and an enlargement of the
free list And it is this job that the
democrats now face. They are to learn
how It is themselves
As there is no escape. let them go about
the business in good earnest, and with
full realization OF 1ts size, and perils. If
u were easy it might be transacted in an
understandable manner. AS it is COM
plicated It Will develop the best sugges-
tons and the stoute.t courage the lead
ers possess. If there has been a little
woolgatherinE on anybody's part, now is
the time to abandon 1t and settle down to
plain thinking and square dealing. There
is some resemblance between tariff re-
vihon and what Gen. Sherman declared
war to be.
