Merely for Public Effect

The national organization of Eagles
held its sessions recently in Cleve-
land This is a saloon order, that is,
a large per cent of Eagles are drink
ing men and the order is we'll filled
with saloonkeepers and bartenders
At Cleveland the laws were so amend
ed as to deny any member of the
order the services of a physician for
any injury or sickness caused by or
brought about through the use of in
toxicating liquor or immoral conduct.
A rule was also adopted under which
no local branch is permitted to estab-
lish bar until its charter shall have
been in force for year and then only
on application of two-thirds of the
local membership.
Evidently the Order of Eagles is
trying to make the public believe it is
reforming. There is little about the
membership, however, to bear out
such an impression.

August %, 1912.

Our ideas of equity acquiesce readily
in the doctrine that luxuries should
bear heavier rate of taxation than
necessities. But Intoxicating liquor is
neither luxury nor necessity. 1t
is vice and the fountain of vice, and
we have no moral right to depend
upon vice as source of revenue.
Luxuries are to be taxed; vice is to
be suppressed. Furthermore, it can
be shown from a myriad of proofs
that the license system is not a reve-
nue. producer; it is not even what it
pretends to be- In cities where the
prohibtory law has been enforced and
the revenue licenses or license fines
shut off, the incidents of the liquor
business - court costs, paupers, de-
pendent and neglected children, and
kindred public expenses, shrink also,
so that the loss of the license revenue
does not affect the ordinary taxpayer.

Peace Day, May Is

May 18, 1899, the car called
the first peace conference at The
Hague and one hundred repre-
sentatives met in that city, in
Queen Wilhelmina's little palace
called 1.-THE Home in the Woods. y
For three months they sat be-
hind closed doors in a circular
hall decorated with large paint
ings concentrating the Peace
of Munster. In that hall is in
scribed the motto "The greatest
victory is that by which peace is
won." The results of that con-
ference we're as follows: A per-
manent international tribunal
was esta blished with over sew
enty permanent judges, four of
whom were to be appointed by
the United States. That tribun-
al opened in 1901. Andrew Car
negie donated ST., 100000 for the
erection of a building. The drst
case before that tribunal was
submitted by the United States
and Mexico. By it's provisions
for meditation President Roose'
Welt made possible the Ports.
mouth treaty between Japan and
Russia.
The second Hague conference
met June IS, 1907, representa-
tives of all the nations of the
globe we're present, and it was
in session four months. 1t was
the most august assembly in
human history. Some of the i'm
portant matters that failed of the
unanimous acceptance necessary
were accepted by large major
ity. Provision was made for {
third conference to assem- biz
within eight years. A world
court was agreed upon to try
cases by international law. Tha
court has fifteen judges, and il
addition to it their is a tribuna
of arbitration. Notable harmony
and courtesy existed among al
the delegates. Several nations
among them the five Contra
American states, have agreed t.
arbitrate every question arising
between them.
