err people? Do they not respect
their plighted word or. rather, are
they not all converted to the be-
lief that a solemn treaty is not
binding but is merely Scrap of
paper" Great talk of peace for
fifteen years. yet in that time the
world has seen some of the great
estwarS in history in which thous-
ands of men christians and broth
ers have been moved down the
Russo-Japanese war. the Boor,
The Balkan war. the Turko-Ita-
lian war. the war between the
Balkan allies, the French-Afrian
wars. the Spanish-African wars.
and our own contribution the
Spanish American war. Others
of course but these are enough.
1t may lead you to the opinion
that the world has not yet reach
ed that beautiful condition our
gh-browed but deluded pacific
lists seek to bring about.
The lesson. Look upon a coun-
try which in point of wealth
offers the greatest temptation to
such nations as that that violated
her word to violate the honor of
Belgium, a country with thous-
ands of miles of coast line. bill
lions of treasure. hundreds of
rich cities, an overlooking treaury
would such a country as
that which violated her own
word in order to violate the honor
of Belgium hesitate to attack so
rich a prey that is defended by a
third rate navy and a tenth or
twelfth rate army?
Countrymen, Americans, shall
we close our eyes to pictures of
the past. shall we close our ears
to the winnings of Lincoln and
Washington, shall we wrap our
selves up in our wealth and bid
the future and the honor, yes the
very existence of our nation take
care of itself. Or rather shall
we as true Americans provide
such protection that we shall
always be assured that the honor
of the nation will never be violat-
ed and that we shall not be looked
upon as a degenerate nation but
worthy descendants of the Ameri-
cans of Washington's time. -

Washington, ID. c., June %. -
During the establishment of the
Republic of Cuba and the ousting
of Portiri, Diaz by the Mexicans
the attitude Of the United States
was closely watched by the other
South American countries. While
the Yankees were not hated by
the mass of Latin Americans
they were not particularly loved
and many of the influential news
papers of the South American
continent did not hesitate to ac-
cuse them of sinister designs. In
fact the Monroe Doctrine was
not understood and there were
those who openly stated that the
policy of the United States was
soon to be scrutinized as of posi-
BILE danger to the Southern Re-
publics.
Time works changes however,
and now, especially since the
events in Europe and in Mexico,
the republics in South America
practically without exception
know that the United States is
their best friend. Never have
relations between this country
and the states south of Mexico
been so genuinely pleasant.
More and more the feeling is
growing and that the peoples of
the Western Hemisphere have
interests in common that must
and will be protected by cooper
alton and friendly intercourse.
The diplomatic representatives
from Southern republics are in
great favorin Washington. Some
are more in the limelight of pub
Lefty than others but all are fos-
tering with a feeling of confidence
and genuine friendship. true SEN
timents of cordially with their
great Northern neighbor.
At the dedication of the Maine
Memorial at Arlington on Memo
rial Day, DR.. Cespedes, the
Cuban minister. made an addres
that was a treat to those who had
the privilege of hearing it.
Phrased in perfect English and
rich in patriotic sentiments of
gratitude for what the United
States had done for his country.
DR.. Cespedes was eloquently dig
nified, magnetic.
The visit of the financierS from
South Ammerica called public
attention to the progress being
made toward more intimate re-
lations but what is more to the
point the work being done by
interchange of ideas and thought
between individuals is equally
important and in the end more
effective.
Thorough and complete under
standing is rapidly being reached
and the prosperity of both sec
tons of the Western Hemisphere
will be shared alike. The South
American revolution" as a joke
is already a dead one and those
who read the signs of the times
can see that the Mexican Revo-
luton" joke will some day soon
join it's frayed brethren in the
waste basket.

ORDER OF 7O'
 PLANS CONvENTION

The state board of the 1nternatio al order of 70's met in Pine Bluff yesterday and effected arrangements for the holding of the second annual grand lodge of the order.
 The International Order of 70's was organized one year ago at Fordyce out of delegates who withdrew from the Grand United Order of Western Thinkers, of which Cyrus Mcintosh of Little Rock, is supreme grand chief. The split occurred because Mcintosh refused to let the grand lodge institute an independent de- partment in harmony with the fra ternal insurance laws of the state. The order was named "The lnterna- tional Order of 70's,' because there were seventy delegates who walked out and refused to further be led by the supreme laws without an endow- ment department.
 R. B. Swayz of Grady, was elected grand master; c. s. Johnson, of Ar kansas City was made endowment treasurer; J. G. Robinson of Pine Bluff, was elected secretary and treasurer of the burial fund, Prof. Huff, of Moscow, was elected deputy grand master; Rev. J. H. Clayborn, of Arksdelphia. was made supreme auditor and author of the ritual
 The second grand lodge will be held during the month of September at Fordyce R. A. Lea the grand sec retary, who disd since the grand lodge, which made vacancy and Lula D. Lea, his wife was giv7n n the place by the board. Wilda D. Rob- inson is at the head of the women's department. There are more than fifty lodges in good standing.

continued it until July II to see if
Mrs. Coppage would be in court on

The case will come up again on
July % and Judge Baldwin has de-
manded that Mrs. Coppage and Odell
be in court on that day and the Legal

lem for the layman to consider. Who
