The Peace Conference

The third National Peace confer
ence at Baltimore offers much ground
for congratulation to the friends of
world peace everywhere. Attended
by some of the most eminent apostles
lof the cause and dominated by the
true note of international arbitration,
the meeting is really suspicious. The
president of the United States, Mr..
Carnegie, Cardinal Gibbons and digni-
tsries from Canada. commingling their
voices in the common refrain, creates
something more than a mere senti-
'ment
Yet this conference had, in the late
Anglo-Americsn peace pact, a subject
of tangible form upon which to rear
enthusiastic notes of praise for peace
as the, dominant force in the inter
course between the nations of the flu
ture. This treaty between the two
leading nations of the world is indeed
evidence that we are getting some
where in our progress away from the
old horror of war, and yet 1t cannot
be too often reiterated, as the presi-
dent took occasion at this conference
to say. that this agreement with Eng
land is only a step in the direction Of
the goal we have set out to reach. 1t
is by no means final move. It does
not bind either country to do more
than submit differences to the abitra-
ment of peaceful negotiations. On
this point Mr.. Taft very wisely re-
minded the people that 1--WE are deal
ing with a world that Is fallible and
full of weakness. with somewhat of
wickedness in it, and that the reforms
that are worth having are brought
about little by little and not by one
blow"
II the good people OF all nations
who are promoting the cause of world
peace keep before them this view of
the case they will do more good by
far than to fall into the error of be-
lieving that a system that is as old
as humanity can be even partly done
away with in short time.

No Pnzzle at All.

The real puzzle about the campaign was
the success reached by several hundred
dry voters OF last year in changing their
minds without telling anybody anything
about IT, They didn't want to argue the
question and to avoid controversy let the
dry campaigners think they had not
changed their minds No doubt many q

places carrying wet voters many a time
during the fatal dsy.-Lincoln Journal.
oh, that is no puzzle at all It is
not even new demonstration, as
might be attested by Lincoln's most
distinguished citizen, who will recall
at least three campaigns in which his
auditors cheered him to the echo and
then voted against him. In fact, the
idea Of wearing false colors for polit-
zeal effect has received approval and
announcement In high places in Ne
braska. To talk dry and vote wet is
In essence no different from a demo-
Icrat labelling himself a populist to
fool somebody into voting for him by
mistake.

LEAD, S. D., May Ito the Editor OF
The Bee: I send YOU the following extract
from a book thinking It might interest
you. 1t was written in 1871 by General
Randolph b. Marcy, U. S. A. 1t goes to
show that reciprocity had some hearty
supporters even forty years ago:
I'm my humble judgment. no one. whose
perceptions have not been DETECTED by
prejudice or interest. can fail to realize
the logic of the conclusion that. IL the gov
ernor and people Of Great Britain were dis
posed to cooperate in developing and
combining the resources of British America
with those of the United States, the inter-
national affinity and moral cohesion that
would follow such community of interest
and action would be so firmly cemented
and consolidated by mutual benefits of a
social, commercial, and political character
as to exercise a controlling influence over
the commercial destlnes of the world.
Moreover. 1t does not require the premo-
milton of soothsayer to foretell that such
reciprocity of purpose and execution would
Inevitably prove, the harbinger of more
kind and neighborly relations than at
present exist" C. II.

MY MOTOR GIRL

New York Sun.
Though Phyllis hath no motor car
She Is a motor girl
She chugs tho highways near and far
And sets them all awhirl
She speeds her soft and flashing eyea
Across life's thank you-marms
Until the population lies
Frustrated by her charms.
She rides DER me both day and night,
No matter what ] say,
She's ever on her onward flight
Along her own sweet way.
Into my eyes such dust she throws
That can scarcely see,
And what's to her couleur de rose
Is gasoline to me.
She comes upon me unannounced
Like motors around q curve;
II makes no difference how I'm iounced
She keeps right on the swerre;
And when with frowns upon my face
l tax her for her speed,
She gears up to a higher pace
With not a bit OF heed.
When warnings show along the pike
She skids like one possessed;
NO obstacle thh she may strike
Fer sets her car at rest
On, on II flies, fleet as the breeze
Regardless of all rule;
She pays her fines with signs that pleasO
The heart Of sage and fool
Love is the chauffeur of her car,
It's wheels are but her smiles;
They carry her to scenes afar
Steered by her whims and wiles
her beauty is the power strong
That makes her motor start,
And when the twilight comes along
Her garage Is my heart.

The Poor Express COMPANIES.

| In the light of what the Minnesota
State Railroad and Warehouse com
mission divulged on the Wells-Fargo
Express company, is it any wonder
that large private benevolent" insti-
tutions object to governmental bodies
poking their noses and eyes into their
records? The inquiry at st. Paul de-
veloped the fact that Wells Fargo be-
gun business on capital of $4,000
600, which was finally showed UP to
$4,000, 600; that 1t has been worrying
along on an actual property invest
ment of $1,000 900, while it has in
vested $2S,000,0OO in stocks, mort
cages, bonds, loans and bank deposits;
that after paying annual dividends of
10 per cent for long period of years,
it last year declared a dividend of $40
per cent. and yet had left a cash sur
Iplus OF $3.O00,0O0.
Any fair-minded man will readily
admit that 1t is annoying to have such
private facts disclosed to public
knowledge by a lot of busybody state
officials. Such vulgar exposes have
the effect of starting gossiping tongues
to wagging and leading to endless con-
fusion and difficulty-for the benevo-
lent institution. Therefore, why al
low such investigations?
Well, in this case perhaps the in
vestigation might not have been made
had this and other express companies
not become quite so arrogant In their
power and Indifferent TO public rights
and their obligations of service. AS
a matter Of fact the people have borne
about as much from express COM
panies in the way OF poor service.

that they will bear. No railroad COM

These facts and figures only 60 to

may credit themselves with helping to

perhaps their abuse of privileges

Congressional Fishinp S.asnn

The democratic house of representa-
tives seems to have gone of on a big
fishing expedition, from which IL is
not likely soon to return. Apparently,
though, 1t left with only a compare
lively good supply Of bait and tackle,
giving rise to the fear that it may not
catch all the fish 1t went out to get.
1t is after some pretty big game-the
Steel, Wooden and Sugar trusts and
the shoe industry These are among
the Oldest fish in the pond and are not
going to be easily angled.
The chief danger besetting the Ash
ermen is that of getting their lines
crossed. In such an event the fish
might easily swallow their bait and
get away in safety. The AFFAIR has
every aspect OF an expedition, but the
people will hope that the house ma
jority has not seized upon this plan
of making campaign material for next
year. To say the least, the democrats
have undertaken q mans Job and it
is to be hoped they have done 80 with
a mans conviction and determination
for it would be worse to open up such
a series of investigations for political
reasons than to have ignored the need
of any of them entirely.
When it comes to actual perfor-
names most people doubtless will in

Gratis are really in earnest about these
reforms they could hope for better re-
suits by going after one power at a

many more than a third of the farms of

these are rented only for a year or two

Is Cart Again Before the Horse

When the Water board insisted
two years ago upon having authority
voted to issue S6,5OO,OO0 of water
bonds to complete the purchase of the
water works, The Bee protested that
this was putting the cart before the
horse. The bonds were nonetheless
voted, but to this day have not been
issued, presumably because they can
not be marketed at par on a basis of
per cent interest, but, in fact, be

how much money will be required to
