One nation already has signified its &C
ceptance of the Bryan peace doctrine
according to an announcement of tbs
State Department yesterday. More are

It's Mr.. Bryan's idea-that OF post
poning war until the sober second sense
of both parties to a threatened conflict
has had time TO operate-has met with
favor in foreign chancellaries. ana one
of the nations which will soon enter
into peace pact with the United

Brazil. and II is probable an announce

7 O N K E r S
by GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old siwash.,

Yonkers was originally located half a
days journey from New York City, but
now II bounds New York on the north,
and as soon as an automobilist pass s
out of range of the New York police, he
has to begin watching for a Yonkers Of
ficer.
This doesn't mean that Yonkers has
moved in the last hundred years. 1t is
still doing business at the same old
stand. but New York has marched
twenty miles. and unless something Is
done about it, it will swallow Yonkers
before long, and make Tammany dis
trict out of II.
Yonkers is a city of 5000 people. and
rises from the banks of the Hudson in
terraces to the height of $50 feet. The
social standing of YonkerItes can be
accurately determined by the height Of
their residences above the water line.
Those who live on the Attn floor. so to
speak. are the cream of the city. while
Yonkers is one place in the world where
it doesn't pay to get in on the ground
floor.
Yonkers was founded by the Dutch In
1850. but did not become a town until
17ss, which makes II mere infant in
westchester County. Half of its peo-
pie work in its factories and live under
the hill. while the other half work In
New York and speak of the suburban
service in terms of the deepest feeling.
Yonkers has many residences built by
new-laid millionaires. and many price
less old Dutch mansions and colonial
houses. From Park Hiu the tired cap
italist can have the sight of ten miles
of Hudson River with his meals. while
Broadway runs through the center Of
the city. and the automobile owner con
go. clear through New York without
change OF streets.

Stephen Girards Lasting Monument.

The celebration of the hundred and
sixty-third birthday of Stephen Girard
this week at the college which he
founded and which bears his name has
given the trustees opportunity to show
its flourishing condition to the public.
Rapid progress is being made in the
new high-school building, which is to
cost 100000 and be the largest struc-
ture on the campus, though probably
not so classic as the central and orig
inal edihce
The. expense account at that insti-
tuition is very closely kept, and there
fore affords a basis for estimating the
increase in the cost of living. 1t cost
nearly SI2 more TO clothe boy last
year than it did in 1911 and nearly
50 more to feed him. That, multiplied
by 1900. would measure the increase
OF the institutions expenditure with
respect to those items, though as
everything is purchased at wholesale
it gets the benefit of all the discounts.
In some other respects, also, Girard
College is barometer of the changes
that the years have brought, some of
them more gratifying than that shown
in the steadily mounting cost of living.
In the decade ending 1857 the annual
death rate among the students was IS
in each thousand. In 1911 not single
death occurred. and last year the NOR
tality was I.3 per cent. In this respect,
as in some others, Philadelphia still is
getting the benefit not only OF Stephen
Girard's philanthropy, but of his bust
ness genius and prophetic vision as
well.

Reforming Nonexisting "Slums. "

The activity of the ladies OF the
official set in investigating the So
called slums of this city might lead
those not acquainted with the facts
to suppose that dcplorable conditions
of living exist
This is not so. Compared to other
large cities, Washington has no ,lums.
There are no conditions in this city
suggesting even remotely the life of
the East Side OF New York, &c Tene-
ments in which poverty-stricken. igno-
rant. wretched humanity swelters and
suffers in close quarters are unknown
in this city. The houses in which the
comparatively few actually poor dwell
are of one or two stories. and only a
part OF them are located in alleys
Mos, OF these alleys are wide
enough to be called streets in many
other cities. These are in the ccnters
of large squares, and so far as fresh
air is concerned, perhaps. are on a
par with the smaller streets. Even in
the extreme Southwest section. the home
OF the bulk OF Our negro population,
conditions have been vastly improved
since the reclamation OF the fever
breeding Potomac flats. The houses
are small and there is a certain amount
OF overcoming, but this is due far
more to the gregarious instinct of their
negro occupants than to actual neces-
Sity. The sanitation IS comparatively
good and under the careful supervision
of one OF the most efficient health Of
ficers.
Retaining the slums" as a fad will
not do any harm to enthusiastic re-
formers, who are not sufficiently we'll
posted, and who find the work" a
recreation as we'll as a sort OF
thrill" Some white" sections may
discover in the movement a good
chance to get rid OF class of alley
dwellers whose menace lies, not in
their danger to the public health, but
the public peace.
A real reformer, who knows what
real slum is. may search Wash
ington from end to end without find
ing a real" slum.

STA SMEN-REAL AND NEAR
By FRED c. KELLY

Representative John B. Peterson OF
trict that contains great many diff
ferent kinds of political views
II was the last district in the State to
yield to the Democrats and make their
delegation unanimous. And it is a dis
trict in which one finds family divided
against family. For example, John AIDE,
a retired banker at Kentland. is
stanch Old-line Republican. But he
has a son named George who is a Bull
Mooser. This has been a great trial TO
the elder Mr.. Ade-almost as great a
trial as the fact that the Chicago Trib-
une became a Bull Moose organ. Some
years ago when Mr.. AIDES boy George
started out for himself. he came home
one day and announced that he had
obtained a job as reporter on the Chi
Cago Record. Now the Record was a
good enough paper, but it was not the
Republican Bible. And the Tribune was
all through that part of Indiana. So
Mr.. AIDE told his hoy George: We'll.
work hard, and do what you're told. and
mebby some day you'll work up and be
on the Tribune" George never sue
ceeded in getting himself on the Trib-
une, and now, of course. his father
wouldn't want him to be on it. How
feels that both have gone wrong.
But all this is getting clear away from
what we started TO talk about.
Before the district became cluttered up
with Bull Niece former Representative
Crumpacker always had safe Repub-
lican majority, and the Democrats nomi-
mated a candidate largely for the looks
OF things. Peterson, who is lawyer
and banker at Crown Point, didn't care
a continental about running for Con-
gress, but he was Dor on a Fourth OF
July, and therefore could not consist
emily dodge any patriotic task that fell
to his lot. When the Democrats nomi-
mated him for Congress there was moth
ing for him to do but run. And after
the campaign opened the Bull Niece
gummed up things for the Republicans
so completely that Peterson was elected.
The time came for him TO start for
Washington. All might have been well
except for one thing. Peterson has a
woolIy dog that he thinks whole lot
of He had owned similar dog that
got run over and killed, and then his
present dog, named Joe, came into his
life. The thought of leaving the dog
behind was utterly distasteful. and yet
he did not think II advisable to bring
the dog along, for Joe was not accus-
TONED TO the ways of cities. Separa-
-tion was inevitable. The train footed
and Peterson took a last sad look at
the big dog that had been given over
TO the care Of kind neighbors Then he
picked up his suit cases, and as he and
his wife climbed aboard the train re-
marked:

Disarmament Not a Dream.

DR.. Lyman Abbott's address before
the Lake Mohonk conference on inter
national arbitration. no doubt, wa!
meant as a reply TO the American
Peace Society which removed him a:
an officer of that organization because
he favored a greater navy. That speech
went straight TO the point = some cur
rent treaty issues, when the doctor
said:
There must be developed in civilized
nations a sense OF justice strong
enough to overcome racial. religious
and national prejudioes. This inter
national conscience must create some
permanent tribunal to give il official
and authoritative expression. | regre,
the passionate haste with which we
have annuled the commercial treaty
with Russia. instead OF submitting il
to The Hague. Coastwlse exemption OF
tolls for passage through the Panama
Canal is in Contravention of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty and the California
legislature has acted without regard
for the feelings of Japan in eNclud-
ing Japanese from the landed class
OF that State.
This would lead TO the asking OF the
question. why treaties are entered into.
if their obligations are regarded so
lightly But then it is not yet fact
in any Of the instances given. except
ing. perhaps. that OF Russia, that we
have rendered national approval to the
reputation OF an agreement. Neither
the Japanese nor the British problem
has approached anywhere near the stage
at which either might be regarded as
doubtful Of solution. The fact that
there have been delay and opposition,
and the exhibition OF prejudice hardly
is a basi, for argument that the max
ing of treatie, must also be accom-
panied by the construction OF larger
ravies and the assembling OF greater
armies.
Or. Abbott declares that disarma-
nent as vet is dream. that the blow
OF the fist. the CLEAN OF the sword.
the bark OF the cannon. will continue
until some other power greater than
that OF armed men Is found to protect
innocence from injustice"
But what about the ",ense OF jus
tee" OF which he spoke also? Is it
not a power superior to armed men:
Arbitration is a step beyond force and
disarmament Is a development Of ar
bitrarion. of an international CON
science. Arbitration is no dream, in
spite Of the pessimism invited by al
tack, upon treaties. Neither is disarm-
ament. The same forces that are
working for arbitration also are work
ing for peace. and those that are work
ing for peace mus, work for a limi-
tation or elimination OF armament.
