| is the honor of each nation. Loose talk
about compulsory arbitration is threat
ening to put An end to peace confer
ences, because many OF the European
powers look with distrust upon confer
ences where there is 30 much advocacy
of compulsory arbitration. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that at the next con-
feronce the delegates viii devote their
best efforts to the founding of a per-
manent peace court that will be able
to apply the principles Of public law to
international disputes.
No doubt one of the chief subjects
| for discussion at the third peace con-
ference will be aviation. The science
of flying as applied to war is so new
that the nations have not been able to
establish any rules Of war with ref
erence to it, and vet it is recognized
that in the next great war terrific de-
struction can be done by airships and
aeroplanes unless some restrictions are
placed upon the use Of explosives by

fairs at Manila and also the incidents

MORE THRIFT NECESSARY

In connection with the investigation
of the industrial commission in the
burning question Of unemployment in
the United States, it Is intended to
study the experiences OF foreign coun-
tries in dealing with labor disputes
! Upon the data secured it IS proposed to
frame legislation calculated to better
the condition of the laboring classes IN
| the United States and TO call halt In
the matter of strikes which from time
! to time paralyze the industries of the
country and entail go much suffering
! and misery upon innocent people OF all
| classes
So far the machinery provided by the
government for settling labor troubles
has not proved effective, although some
little good has been accomplished in
isolated instances. Whether the enact
ment OF more laws will bring the en-
ployer and employee closer together
cannot be foretold The investig ations
now under way. however, ought to be
of some help in the way of creating a
healthy public sentiment when all the
facts are known. In order to get at
these facts great care viii have to he
taken in separating the false from the
true before arriving at conclusion.
In this era of high prices the descent
from comparative affluence TO a state
of almost abject poverty is swift when
the breadwinner of the family gets out
OF work. There is too much high pres
sure in the matter Of living in all
walks of life, but it is the workingman
who suffers most when money is tight
and work slackens, The habits Of
thrift and economy practiced by former
generations no longer obtain. The aver
age American merely shrugs mis- shoul-
ders when warned that chicken today
means feathers tomorrow and reaches
forth for the chicken. If economy
were only more generally practiced in
the household during fair weather there
would certainly be more to do with
when the inevitable rainy day arrives.
This is not saying that those Of us
who are compelled to labor for our
daily bread should not enjoy the com
forts of life. Far from it. The sug
gestion is merely offered that there is
great extravaganza and needless waste
and that too many of US are inclined
to "eat, drink and be merry lest we
overlook something in the way OF en-
joyment before we die upon the NOR
row. Tt is this trait In the American
character that makes hard times dou-
bly, hard and renders condition Of
doubt and uncertainty one of danger
and despair
If congress is able to make laws gov
erning relations between employer and
employee and doing away with strikes
as means If settling disputes, there
will be cause for great rejoicing, but
the miHenium will not have arrived
even then. Even under the most favor
able conditions the lot Of the man who
la5ors for living is hard enough and
he should -ealize that the monthly
wage should do a little better than
cover the monthly bills. Unless we are
little more economical in our habits
1t is not probable any number Of laws
viii better our condition

THIRD PEACE CONFERENCE

Arrangements are being made for the
holding Of third peace conference at
The Hague in 1915 President Wilson
has already announced that the United
States will cooperate actively in car
rying out the plans for the consumma-
tion Of this purpose.
The advocates of peace among the ma.
tions are very well satisfied with the
progress achieved since the first Hague
conference was called. Substantial
gains for peace can already be credited
to the first two conferences, and there
is much reason to believe that the third
conference will accomplish crowning
work
An international arbitration tribunal
was created by the first conference. AL
ready IL has decided large number
OF questions and has successfully ad-
justed some critical disputes The sec
ond conference did much to make i'm
possible those wars upon feeble ma
tions by strong ones, which had been q
disgrace to international relations for
| centuries. 1t also paved the way for the
establishment Of permanent court for
the world, the object Of which is to
bring public law to bear upon internn-
tional difficulties; to provide a tri-
| bunal in which the rights Of nations
shall be adjusted, just as private
nights are adjusted within the nations
by proper tribunals. Such court
should be more effective in pro.
noting Justice among the nations
than any arbitration tribunal In this
connection it may be interesting to note
that an Academy Of International Law
has been established at The Hague and
will have It's lectures in the peace pal
ace. It will be directed by an interna.
tional committee
Those who have supported compulsory
arbitration evidently believe that an
armed force can be maintained some
where to compel obedience to the de-
cisions of the tribunal, but such a pro.
posal is visionary. The time has not
yet come when the powers are ready to
establish an international standing
army to crush any nation that refuses
! TO abide by arbitration. The highest

On Wednesday, Feb. IL, a gas well
was developed near Boyce. A tele-
gram says that the Boyse Oil and Gas
Company, which, for some time, has
been drilling on what is known as the
old Oak Hill Plantation. Eve miles west
of Boyce. has struck natural gas in
large quantities. The company is, how
ever, drilling for oil and the drilIers
feel confident that as soon as the drill
penetrates rock strata it has encount-
cred, oil in large quantities will be
struck. The well is now about $500
feet deep.
Alexandra was reported to be great
" excited over the discovery of natural
gas so close to that place. The gas
discovery opens up strong possibilities
of natural gas for Alexandria, besides
the prospects for oil it seems to strcng-
ly hold out. The well is located in what
is known as the Quadrate neighhorhood.

Are our representatives in Congress

Although the general opinion is that

about one-third are government lands,

Another Shooting Near Bentley.

Last week we gave an account OF the
shooting and wounding of Bud Collins
near Bentley, on Feb. 8, he and four
other parties being fred on while re-
turning from work at night by unknown
parties. Following this, on the night
of Friday, Feb. 6, four other men were
fired on about O'Clock at night whilc
returning from work, in this same To-
cality.
The four men fired on were, George
Grant, shot in hip and conveyed to the
Alexandria sanitarium; Will Hammond,
shot in head, slight wound; and Fred
Daniels and Conley Tullos. The two
last named were not wounded, but
claim that shot hit their dinner pals.
AS soon as District Attorney Hunter
learned of this second shooting he made
affidavit and had Deputy L. o. Clinton
to arrest four parties last Saturday
morning. The men arrested are Tom
TORY, confined in the Alexandria Jail,
Dempsy and Columbus Coleman, and
Oscar Chandler, confined in the CoIfax
Jail. They are to have a preliminary
trial on Saturday, Feb. II, provided
Geo. Grant, the man in the Alexandria
sanitarium is able to be here.
These troubles are the result of labor
union men conflicting with non-union
men, and like all such ARRAYS, it is ex-
tremely hard to get at the facts.

Why the South Ought to be a Liv
Stock Country.

w nv the oOutH OUkut W Oc q Live
Stock Country.
The South ought to be a live
stock country, because:
% A crop of cowpeas, soy
beans, peanuts, or lespedez (all
legumes) may be grown the same
season after an oat crop is har-
vested. There is no better feed
than oats, and cowpeas and lespe-
deza are the equal of red clover
as hay producers; while peanuts
and soy beans will produce as
much feed (concentrates) as any
crop grown here or elsewhere.
(2) A soil made rich by the
growing of legumes and livestock
farming will make as much corn
or silage per acre as in the Corn
Belt, and the same season pro-
duce a crop of crimson clover
equal in feeding value to a crop
of red clover.
81 Our climatic condition
makes us a cotton producin g
country. One of the by-products
of the cotton crop is cottonseed
meal, the cheapest protein feed
known. The South produces
$50, 600, 600 bushels of cottonseed
annually, which pound for pound
is superior to corn in feeding val
ue. If the South could not have
produced cotton she would have
grown livestock just as other Sec
tons have turned to livestock,
where one-crop systems depleted
their soils and forced them to dc
so.
The South must grow livestock
because while it is possible tt
build up soil fertility without
feeding livestock, it is not gen
orally done, and cannot be done
as economically as by feeding the
legumes, which must be grown
to build up the fertility, to goot
livestock.
The need of the South is fol-

The Iron Mountain Hospital Service.


St. Louis, Feb. THE annual
report of the Board of Hospital
Service Managers of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain has just
been completed. The financial
statement shows an increase ir
net surplus for the year of $12,-
163. 90, of which amount SIS, 0OC
has been set aside for the erec-
ton of an emergency hospital at
Argenta, Ark. During the yeai
the St. Louis and Kansas City
hospitals have been equipped
with approved electric lighting
systems, and at the Kansas City
shops an apartment, equipped
with proper furnishings and sup
plies, has been set aside for use
in rendering first aid to the in
jured.
A feature of the years work
in the hospital department was
the instruction tour over the en-
tire system of a Red Cross hos
pital car. Competent physicians
accompanied the car, and at all
the principal points on the lines
gave lectures and instructions,
which included moving picture
and X-Ray demonstrations.
During 1913 the management
of the hospital service on the en-
tire Missouri Pacifc-Iron Noun
tain System, which previously
had been handled as a part OF
the railway, was turned over to
the employees. A board of mana
gers, consisting of nine members,
eight officials and employees Of
the different departments of the
railroad, and the chief surgeon
who is ex-officio chairman of the
board, is selected annually. Up
on this board rests the direc
management of the hospital ser
vice. Funds to carry on thu
work are raised by each officia
and employee paying a small as
sessment each month, the amour
depending upon the salary re
ceived. Since the hospital prop
