SATURDAY, FEBRUARY z, 1914.
1.-THE CONSTITUTION OF PEAcE.'

President Wilson coined happy and meaning phrase, in his brief ad- dress after signing the new currency law, when he declared that the ad- ministration was proceeding to or ganize our peace, to make our pros peritv not only stable but free to have an unimpeded momentum" and he added, "business men of all sorts are showing their willingness to come in to this arrangement which venture to characterize as the constitution of peace"
 The president has evidently felt the changing spirit of the times, both among the people and the represen- tatives of the large corporations. These were at war for many years, chiefly because the big interests per sisted in fattening unduly at the ex- pense of the people. Corrupt in- dustry and corrupt finnnce joined hands with corrupt politics in con- mon conspiracy against the public welfare. The people became aroused, the public conscience was quicken ed, the official conduct changed to harmony with the popular pulse and earnest effort is now being made to undo much of the harm and to op- crate hereafter within the zone of lawfulness.
 The time of peace is arriving. On the one hand, remedial proposals that are made are more intelligent, and, on the other hand, it is generally recognized that the old go-as-you- please, ke-the-hindmost indi- dividualism no longer suffices to give that dividend to all which is the Ob- feet of civilized society-a dividend that automatically took care of itself when there was frontier and when businesses were small.
 The republic rests on a measurably equal distribution of property. Form erly this was secured through the op- eration of what were called natural causes But distribution was the ob- jective Profound wisdom is mani fest in the popular instinct for a change when it appeared that the old rules making for the diffusion of wealth were not enough to secure diffusion. What is sought is not a new condition, but essentially the restoration of old conditions. The progressive movement whose leader ship has come to President Wilson is thus profoundly conservative and is in the true interests of every class. As such it is entitled to the support of every man of property who real izes, as most. men of property da, the hollowness of mere wealth pos session and who in his heart be- lieves in the old American system of fairly equal division of the ma terialities of life.
