HOPING TO PREVENT
ECUAD0R-PERU WAR
But Mediating Powers Have
Received No Reply to Their
Recommendation.

No reply has been received Yet by this
government from either Euador or Peru
to the recommendation of the mediating
powers-the United States, Argentina and
Brazil-that the boundary dispute which
for many years has menaced the peace OF
the two countries be submitted to the
arbitration Of The Hague tribunal. The
mediators. however. are quite confident
that their latest move in d friendly in
tervention will be crowned with success
and that the two countries will not be
plunged into war as the result Of the
lons-standing issue.
The joint note of the mediators wal
presented to Ecuador and Peru Thursday
last, and was in consonance with the
provision of The Hague convention, as
has been every move made by the inter-
vening powers in the controversy.
Proposed Last Spring.
Last spring, when the disputants were
on the verge of war while the question of
arbitration was pending before the King
Of Spain. the tripartite mediation was
proposed. and the three powers bound
themselves to offer their friendly advice
in case no award was made by King
Alfonso. In view of that it devolved
upon the United States. Argentina and
Brazil TO suggest way OF settling the
difficulty after the King of Spain de-
clined to act as arbitrator.
1t will be very gratifying to the media
tors. it Is stated at the State Department,
if the tripartite mediation undertaken
under the provision of The Hague con-
ventiOn to avert war by means of friendly
advice and good offices may result in
leading the cOntending parties to place
their actual dispute before The Hague
court, under the same convention which
had such beneficent effects in the earlier
stages of the trouble

Colonel Roosevelt Lauds the
University of Wisconsin,.

1t is not too much to say that the
University of Wisconsin occupies a
position entirely unique, not merely in
this country, but in the world as an
institution which beyond all others,
has come nearest to recognizing the
ideals of using the instrumentalities of
higher education for rendering the
greatest possible service to the country, >
declared Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in
addressing the state Legislature at
Madison on his recent visit.
The nation as a whole, points to
this state as the state in which the
leading public men are not backed by
the ordinary corporation that too many
of our public men have been backed
by in the past, but by the greatest
educational institution in the state,
and l have found everywhere on the
Pacific slope and in the Rocky noun
tains that the ambition of every state
was to follow Wisconsin as the wisest
and most farseeing progressive state,

In this issue Of the Democrat appear
some facts and figures Of especial in
terest to the citizens Of Mineral Point
They are contained in the annual re-
port Of the city clerk and in the report
Of the proceedings Of the common coun-
Gil.
There was received into the city
treasury last year $58, $500; the total
disbursements were $47 ,809 Sc; leaving q
balance on hand April IS, 1911, Of
$1104G.34. The tax rate was 01.80.
The total bonded Indebtedness is $24, 900
Every resident Of the city ought to
take an interest in the affairs Of the
municipality financial and otherwise
With her citizens all familiar with the
doings Of her public servants, and all
exerting an influence for good, every
town is assured Of good government.
Writers who advocate the new form
OF municipal government by commits
sion, set up as an argument in its
favor the fact that the acts of the
commissioners are reported at length in
the newspaper, and are read with wide
spread interest. This may be, perhaps,
because government by commission is a
new thing.
A more general attendance of the
public upon the meetings Of the com
mon council, which are open to AL, .
would tend to create and maintain
healthful interest in the public business,
to which all concerned and for the cost
of which all property is taxed.
