es, awarded its prize to the person
who did most throughout the whole
world to promote those objects, and
selected as its recipient Theodore
Roosevelt, president OF the United
States. The people in this country
and from one end of the world to the
other approved the selection. They
recognized that he first, among pres
idents, kings and emperors, opened
the door of the Hague tribunal: that
he, through taetful initiative brought
about peace between Japan and Rus
STA, and deserves the gratitude of the
p~eace-loving world. We seem to find
in Roosevelt the united historical
foresight of a Jefferson with the hui
name consideration Of a Lincoln, for
the welfare of the masses.
Equally important with the limita-
ton of armament is to raise the
standard of international morality.
Let the nation exact the same stand
ard from n another as they exact
from their own subjects. Why should
a nation be permitted to go to war to
collect a debt at the mouth of a can,
non when that same nation will not
allow its own subjects to collect debts
from one another with sword and
pistol?
The argument that war will kill
war is about as sane as to claim that
contagion will cure disease. The true
end of every great and free people
should be self respecting peace.
Why should the peace movement
make a special appeal to women?
First, because of its practical charac-
ter. The fundamental principle of
the movement enters into the most
common experience, for they govern
all just and pure living. How can we
preach justice to a nation when deal
.ng unjustly with the representatives
If those same nations in the tene-
nent districts of our own cities? or
strive for world unity when busy in
greeting barriers between classes?

The development of the new west

The peasantry of France gave up
their best. Is it any wonder that
after such a frightful sacrifice of her
sons that the average stature in that
country decreased two inches after
the Napoleon era, and that one of
the greatest problems in France even
a century later is that OF decreasing
population? If therefore, civilized
man, now conducts war, it is against
nature, and the nations policy de-
mands that civilized war must cease.
Apart from the moral and religious
aspect of the movement for national
peace there is a great and more prac-
teal feature, that under the present
rate of armament the nations are
tending toward bankruptcy. Our to-
tai government appropriation for the
year ending June so, 1914, amounted
TO $500, 000, 900. Sixty per cent or

what is practical, we sometimes over
look the truth that ideals are the

the greatest dangers of the present
age is the attempt to build a state
minus an ideal. 1t is the duty of edu-

national life, and to maintain that the
