An Assembly of The Politicians.

Investigations, like controver-
sizes, are always beneficial, be-
cause by them the truth is
brought to light. While this is
the case, we are disposed to view
some of the probes proposed by
our present legislature as rather
fishy, that august body at this
time being given over almost en-
tirely to the game of politics, and
sincerity, and the public good is
not the main thing aimed at.
Political gossip is busy at Baton
R ,uge just now, and the State
campaign is virtually pitched
two years ahead of time. For
this reason we are not disposed
to look upon the late investiga-
tons proposed by our Solons with
the same roseate view as the
Monroe News-Star, which seems
to think that this is the oppUr-
tune moment for our politico-
Legislators to put in their little
probes.

The World Watches Peace Mediation.

AT Niagara rails, IN the Brit.
ish province of Ontario, there
has been sitting this week, be-
ginning on Wednesday, May 20,
1914, the most noteworthy body
of men that ever gathered in the
interest of the peace of the world.
For many years the civilized ma
tons of the world have deprecat-
ed the cruelties, horrors and in
justice Of war, but never before
has the sight been witnessed OF
a powerful nation staying its
hand and curbing its mighty
forces from throttling a weaker
nation at the bare mention that
friendly powers wanted to arbi-
trate the differences of the be-
ligerents. The United States,
under the christian statesman
ship of President Wilson and Sec
rotary of State w. j. Bryan, has
afforded this pleasing spectacle
in the present aspect of hostili-
ties with Mexico.
The South American republics
of Argentine, Brazil and Chill
made this proposition, and it was
promptly accepted by President
Wilson without any provisos. In
response to this acceptance the
following mediators were ap-
pointed: Domicio da Cana, Am
bassador of Brazil, is dean of the
diplomats, and will preside over
their deliberations; Romula S.
Naon. Minister of Argentina;
and Eduardo Suarez, the Minister
of Chill. These men, who by
common consent have been des-
ignated as the A. B. C. diplomats,
compose the Board of Arbitra-
tors who are to preside at this
remarkable peace conference.
On the part of the United
States President Wilson has ap-
pointed Associate Justice of the
U. S. Supreme Court Joseph R.
Lamar, of Georgia, and Hon.
Friedrich w. Lehman, of st.
Louis, former Solicitor General
IF the u. S. States Department.
and Diplomatic Secretary H. Per-
,eval Dodge, who will represent

entatives of their respective
