SECRETARY OF STATE
 BRYAN'S PEACE TREATIES

The United States has signed peace treaties with Great Britain, France, Spain and China. The contracting par ties agree to submit all disputes to investigation by a permanent com mission during a period of one year before declaring war.
 The step is wise one. Treaties are not absolute, but they are highly persuasive. They may be broken when it comes to test, but generally they hold good. They do not afford a certain guarantee of peace, but at least they make for it powerfully
 These treaties provide means whereby nasty action may be prevent ed, due consideration of the issues had, excited national feelings given a chance to subside and a peaceable so- lution aided.
 At this moment there is available no better method of assuring peace to the United States than the conclus- ion of such treaties. The provisions of them are so reasonable that vio- lation by one of the contracting na- tions is most improbable.
 These treaties practically insure our neutrality during the present Eur. opean war. Our points of contact are chiefly with the Allies, because of their control of the seas. And points of contact imply the possibility of quarrels.
 By pledging ourselves to submit all our disputes with England and France to a permanent commission and to concede that commission year for investigation and report we have plac' ed a barrier against war that both sides appreciate and will be only too willing to respect.
 Mir. Bryan will no doubt find his efforts to negotiate a similar treaty with Germany facilitated by the sign ing of these treaties. Germany will not fail to note that these treaties leave US free to become quickly in volved with her but not with her enemies.
 The great question of insuring peace between the nations needs a deeper more radical solution than these ar, engagements give. But half loaf is better than no bread We must take the thing immediately available, while steadily pursuing the ideal.-The Chi. cago Herald. Qnd.)

 This is idiotic. It is characteristic of the dishonest, one-sided method of political discussion. Yet never fool in all the land who does not know it to be in every intent and purpose an absurd lie.

When the fateful evening finally ar

over ten minutes to discover that
things were not exactly as he had ex-
planned. In the first place. 1t was 10

was a stranger to most Of the church
people and none Of them seemed to
have marked him down as a candidate
He soon came upon q stern. severe
looking woman, who made inquiry OF
him:
II understand that you are Mrs.
Bowser's husband, and how does it
come that we never see you here of =

male acquaintance who expressed great
surprise at seeing him there, and asked

and then checked herself.
