Lake Mohonk Conference.

Last week four hundred representative
men and women assembled at Lake Mo-
honk for the eighteenth annual confer
ence on international arbitration. As at
previous conferences, the discussion
reached a high mark Of excellence and
struck the prophetic note. Three themes
cropped out in almost every speech,
namely, that the defeat Of the general
arbitration treaties by the United States
Senate was contrary to the will Of the
people and due 10 the placing Of party
above national welfare; second, the ne
cessity Of immediate organization OF all
the people Of the United States to pre-
serve her high place Of leadership in
international affairs; third, that the
peace sentiment OF the world had reached
that stage that the approaching third
Hague conference should take much
more advanced position than any previ-
Gus conference OF the powers.
The opening address Of President
Nicholas Murray Butler aroused unpre-
cedented enthusiasm by its fearlessness
and its challenge to the nation. 1t was

privilege" is a well accepted fact. II
is an old one. becoming a part Of the
common law of social life in Great
Britain as early as 1906. "Courtship
Love and Matrimony," published in
that year, says:
ALBEIT it is move become part OF
the common lave, in regard to the So
cial relations of life, that as often as
every bissextile year doth return, the
ladyes have the sole privilege, during
the time it continueth, of making love

One legend by which it is attempted
to account for the origin of the privi-
lege relates that an appeal was made
to st. Patrick to accord to women the
same right of proposing at any time
as the men have. This he refused
but was willing to concede the right
every seventh year. Finally, as a CON-
promise he agreed that women should
enjoy the right every four years, and
that this year should be the longest
of the four.
