Peace. Peace. There Is NO Peace

Heace, Peace. Ihefe is NO Peace
There is every indication that ex-
actly what The Caledonian predicted
some weeks ago will happen in Mex
leo. Carranza and Carbajal appar-
emily are able to agree upon terms
of peace but Gen. Villa is ready to
start a counter revolution as the
hero of the revolutionists and a
government based upon bloodshed
and pillage will soon be demanding
recognition from Pres. Wilson.
In his logged determination to de-
feat Huerta, Pres. Wilson has aided
and abetted the cause of Villa and
now he is ready to smite the hand
that fed him. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that had Pres. Wilson rec
ognized Huerta and withheld aid to
the revolutionists the bandit Villa
would have received his just deserts
long before this. But he did not and
poor Mexico seems no nearer law
and order than when Wilson first be-
gan his encouragement of the revo-
lutionists.
1t is not the "watchful waiting"
policy of the President that is re-
sponsible for this but his pernicious
interference with the government of
Mexico. United States must sooner
or later pay the fiddler.

The letter from Sen. Dillingham; to
F. A. Rowland regarding the charge
of Hon. C. A. Prouty that he had Op-
posed railroad regulation in behalf
of the interests is published in full
elsewhere because it SO completely
refutes the charge. Sen. Dilling-
hams record shows that since he has
been a member OF the Senate four
steps in railroad regulation have
been asked for They are:
The Elkins Law which made COM
mon carriers subject to regulations
by the interstate commerce commits
sion, forbid rebating in any form,
gave the courts power to enforce the
orders of the commission and provid-
ed for the compulsory attendance of
witnesses.
The Hepburn law which gave the
commission power to fix rates and
suspend any rates found to be dis
criminatory or unjust.
The Mann llkins law which estab-
lished the United States Court of
Commerce, a body created especial
ly to expedite the hearings and en-
forcement of decisions by the inter-
state commerce commission, extend
ed the jurisdiction of the commits
sion and ordered an investigation of
the issuance of railroad stocks and
bonds preliminary to action by Con-
grees on that subject.
The Physical Valuation of Rail-
roads, an act demanded by some for
some time but something the practi-
cal value of which is still in ques-
ton. If the valuation can be made
in time to be of use in determining
the value of the road we'll and good
but if it is found that the physical
valuation cannot be determined, I'M
til several years after the value is
demanded it's usefulness will be
greatly hampered.
So complete has been the action on
railroad regulation that Mr.. Prouty, |
himself, says: Taking the state
and nation together there is danger /
of too much rather than too little
railroad legislation" In considering !
the remedying of evils that appear
in industrial life it must be remem-
bered that the evils are constantly
presenting themselves in new forms,
in unexpected ways. That is the
only way they exist, by adopting
new methods Of evading enacted
laws. To meet these new methods
requires study, careful consideration
and thorough knowledge of what
should and what should not be re-
stricted. Not only must one have
this knowledge but he must be able
to convince othcIs that it is right.
When these facts are remembered it
mus. be evident that Congress has
devoted itself quite honestly and eff
fectively to the proper regulation Of
interstate transportation.
Still there are those who snarl
''reactionary" whenever speaking of
the men who have accomplished this
work. This is a much over worked
word. "a reactionary" has come to
mean simply a man you oppose for
some reason or other. The public
should not be too much Influenced
by the irresponsible and meaningless
use of this hateful word. Acquaint
yourself with the facts and decide
honestly whether in favoring these
acts Sen. Dillingham; has acted for
the interests" or for the public well
fare.

The following letter from Senator
Dillingham; to F. A Rowland is self
explanatory, and will make an inter
esting feature of the present cam
paign.
Washington, D. c.,
July 8, 1914.
Dear Rowland;
L received your note enclosing a
printed copy of Mr.. Prouty's recent
letter to the mon, partisan PrOutv
Club" of Orleans, Vermont, in which
he uses the following language:
Mr.. Dillingham; has consist
emily and persistently, and with
out doubt honestly, since his
sympathies all lie in that direc-
ton, acted with that coterie of
senators who have been known
as the champions of special in
terests. These men were the
bodyguard of Senator Aldrich
when he was the leader of the
United States Senate, and they
were generally against all prop
ositions for reform which were
supposed to unfavorably af-
feet the interests which they
oIOOQ " pLOlOCI- ne
of railroad regulation, for ex-
ample, which / have advocated
and about which I especially
know, were bitterly opposed by
all of these men until further
opposition would have been po-
litical suicide"
In reply to your inquiry what
there is in my record upon which he
can base such sweeping charges,
can, beside denying the truth of
them, only refer to the records for in
formation.
You will remember that the act
creating the Interstate Commerce
Commission became a law in 1887;
that Mr. Prouty became a member of
the Commission in December, 1896,
and that l did not become a member
of the Senate until four years later,
namely, December, 1900.
The work of the Commission down
to that time had been almost wholly
that of investigation, but as it pro-
ceeded, it gradually became evident
that some form of authority should
be granted to the Commission, and

sued Theodore Roosevelt for libel and

it is not because they are afraid, but

Passed the Hepburn BID.

Two months later, February g.,
1906, the Hepburn bill, so-called,
passed the House of Representatives
and was sent to the Senate.
This law for the first time empow-
cred, and made it the duty of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
whenever, after full hearing, upon
the complaint of an aggrieved party,
it should be of the opinion that rates
demanded, received, or collected by
any common carrier are unjust, I'M
reasonable, discriminatory, or un-
duly preferential or prejudicial or
otherwise in violation of any of the
provisions of the act, to determine
and prescribe what will be just and
reasonable rates for charges to be
thereafter observed in such cases as
the maximum to be charged. And
by the same act heavy penalties were
laid upon carriers failing to obey the
order of the commission, carrying
such findings into effect.
Inasmuch as / was present and am
recorded as voting upon every
amendment offered during the entire
consideration of this measure, as well
as upon its final passage, and mas
much as l favored every amendment
calculated to strengthen and perfect
the act, and in the end voted for it's
passage, I cannot be said to have
bitterly opposed" it.
Dillingham; Saved Prouty.
During the discussion in the Sen
ate of the bill last mentioned, an in
cident occurred which, in the light of
present developments, is interesting.
On May IA, 1906, Senator Lodge
offered an amendment, providing
that upon the passage of the bill, an
interstate commerce commission
should be appointed by the President
to take the place of the then exist
ing commission, of which Mr. Prouty
was a member. 1t contained this
sentence:

'.Israelites indeed to constitute His
associates in the Kingdom. He kept
the Law perfectly. and. additionally,
laid down His life sacrifcially fol-
Adam and his race. This sacrifice en-
abled Him to make good for the unin-
territorial shortcomings of all Israel
ties indeed" While they could not
keep the Law and thus obtain the
Kingdom. they could by accepting
Christ have the righteousness of the
Law imputed to them and be accepta-
bic TO God. Hence Jesus preaching
was wholly along Kingdom lines, to
the people who for centuries had striv-
en- to constitute that Kingdom.
The first opportunity for membership
in that Kingdom was granted Israel;
and only in proportion as they rejected
the favor did 1t pass to the Gentiles,
as St Paul said (Acts 13:46). In
view of these facts we see that Jesus
teachings were not addressed to the
world. but 10 the people of God
"SouI, Take Thine Ease.p
Our Lord gave a parable illustrating
the comparative folly Of all earthly
ambitions in contrast with the one
great possibility of the Kingdom. The
parable tells Of a rich farmer who
built greater barns and storehouses,
with the thought OF thenceforth tax
ing his ease. But ere long he died.
Many read into this parable things
which it does not contain. They infer
that the rich man went TO eternal tor
ment; but nothing in the Lords words
so intimates. The expression. This
night shall thy soul be required Of
thee" signifies, This night you shall
die in poverty. Earthly riches will be
of no account in the future. The lesson
is that spiritual riches should be laid
up instead

Jesus did not mean that we are to
look amongst the kingdoms Of earth
hoping to find one Of them HIS King
dom. On the contrary, He informs US
that His Kingdom IS future: my
Kingdom is not of this world"-this
order of things. We hope. we wait,
we pray, we prepare for that King
dom, seeking it in the sense of doing
those things which shall make US
meet for the inheritance Of the saints

For those who would be heirs of the
Kingdom there is one definite proce-
dure:
ID They must recognize themselves
as sinners, unworthy Of Divine notice;
~ They must recognize Jesus as
''the Lamb Of God. which taketh away
the sin Of the world"
81 They must realize that while his
sacrifice is the basis of the worlds

work is to be accomplished by Him
