Of
RIGHTS MADE BY
Pan AMERICANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 24-A
Pan-American Declaration of the
Rights of Nations" prepared by Sec
retary lansing, Elihu Root and DR..
James Brown Scott and adopted in eX
ecutive session by the American In
stitute of International Law at it's re
cent convention held here under the
auspices of the American Scienti-
tic congress, was made public last
night by Dr.. Scott, president of the
institute.
Although the declaration lacks the
formal ratification of the twenty-ono
American republics and, therefore, is
not an official document, its trainers
believe that it correctly sets forth the
official views of all the American
commemorative. Before the institute
is called upon to consider it, the de-
daration was submitted to and ap
proved by the chief authorities on in
ternational law in the South American
republics, including Ambassador Sua-
rez and DR.. Alexandra Alvarez, of
Chile. 1t was unanimously adopted
January 9Th, by the institute, whose
membership of 105 is made up of five
experts on international law from each
Of the twenty-one American repub
lies.
The declaration, it is said, embodies
the Institutes conception of only ele
mental national rights, and will be
further considered at the next meeting
Cf the institute in Havana next year
II contains FIVE primary sections which
were fashioned with the United States
declaration of independence in mind as
a model and which read as follows:
81. Every nation has the right to
exist, to protect and conserve its ex-
istence; but this right neither implies
the right nor justifies the act of the
state to protect itself or to conserve
is existence by the commission of un-
lawful acts against innocent and un-
offending states.
H. Every nation has the right to
independence in the sense that it has a
right to the pursuit of happiness and
is free to develop itself without inter
ference or control from other states,
provided that in so doing it does not
interfere with or violate the just rights
of other states.
iii. Every nation is in law and be.
fore the law, the equal of every other
state, composing the society of ma
tiOn, and all states have the right to
claim, and according to the declara-
tiOn Of independence of the United
States, to assume, among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature
and of natures God entitle them.
Nv. Every nation has the right to
territory within defined boundaries
and to exercise exclusive jurisdiction
ever this territory, and all persons
whether native or foreign, found
! therein.
"V. Every nation entitled to a right
by the law of nations is entitled to
have that right respected and protect
ed by all other nations for right and
duty are cor-relative, and the right OF
one is the duty of all to observe"

HUNTING A SITE

The agent for Libby, Mcneil &
Libby of Chicago, who has been
looking around Colorado for suit
able site on which to establish
milk condensary. has taken under
consideration several locations but
has not yet made up his mind as
to where he will drive his stakes
He found the farmers everywhere
very enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
tion and was assured by them in
every instance that they were will
ing to 60 the limit to get the plant
and agreed to provide and main
tain all the cows that were neces-
sary. One farmer said that his sec
ton would furnish from 1900 to
1000 cows inside of two years. To
get factory it will be necessary to
have at least 1900 cows at first with
5000 guaranteed within period of
three years. 1t requires lot OF
work to go over community and
get the farmers to sign up for a
given number of cattle and even
this is no warranty that there will
be enough good ones to keep the
works running. The Denver con
densary is practically assured, we
understand, and local company
has been organized raise the
money and get the thing going but
there is room in other parts of the
State for more plants which are
sure to come in time, and Holly
will get hers justs as sure as the

A Wall FROM PUEBLO

General complaint has been made
throughout the city on account of
the sudden increase made in the
price of flour, sugar, potatoes and
other staple articles of food, along
with an advance in coal incident
The retail stores lay it on to the
threatened railroad strike
wholesale houses and the whole
salers probably have some tiimsy
refuge to which they can flee, but
it is not known what it is
The coal dealers raised coal from
50 cents to $l.00 a ton for coal on
hand and which did not cost them
any advance in freight.
Potatoes raised $lOO hundred,
and they were already high. Flour
is up to $3.50 a hundred
AS a protest to all this the rail
road trainmen took the matter up
at their regular meeting held last
Saturday night and there were
talks made in favor of forming
consumers club and sending out
orders for all kinds of foodstuffs to
the big mail order houses. The men
claim that they are perfectly justi-
fed in pursuing such a course I'M
der the present provoking circum
stances
Everywhere expressions of dis
content are heard and it would
not require much persuasion to
to have a mass meeting of citizens
called and a committee elected to
investigate the food problem
