The following leaf from American history W a contained in a letter
recently written by Edward Berwick OF Pacific Grove, Cal, and published
in the Stockton Mail, and indicates what a scrap of paper is worth when
it is backed by the integrity Of a people:
Both parties to the present world "a claim they are fighting to
obtain guarantees for permanent peace"
a first aid would be a precise definition of what guarantees are wanted.
Solemn treaties arc mere scraps of paper when either party SO lists;
sitting on bayonets' W. conquered territory breeds passion for revenge;
crushing cash indemnites keep alive that passion.
These have all been tried and failed.
"Has any other method succeeded? Yes! Succeeded conspGuously!
Just over a century ago the treaty of Client, the laughing stock OF
contemporary diplomats. closed the war OF 1872 to 1914 between this
country and Great Britain. No word was therein of 'any cash indemnity,
Of any cesIon of territory, or of what the var "a about; nothing tt
humiiate either party; nothing to leave a sting to rankle and breed more
war.
$50 far good! President Monroe went farther. He found the way to
make peace permanent.
"On April 28. 1918, he proclaimed o this nation the signing OF the
Rush Bagot arrangement by which a mutual disarmament as effected
on IL 4y0OO-mile northern boundary. No warships whatever weret to sal,
the Great Lakes, and by a further tact understanding n o additional
forts and garrisons to be placed OF the border.
"What happened after the diplomats laughed? He laughs best who
laughs lastp The Dove of Peace settled on that long line and has barely
rufled its silver wings in a century.
"Where nobodys loaded nothing expodes! And w the whole
borderland laughs in Emitless peace and prosperity under the. only pos
sile real guarantee of permanent peace-disarmament.

"America, dreamer of dreams, be Destiny leader'"

HAVE TO WAKE UP

1t strikes the Stockton Mail that if we spent lest time discussing
partisan, political policies, Mexico and the European wa and devoted
more time to cooperating in public sentiment that will bring about tax
reformation. we would show capabilty as a selfgovernmg people.
Every year sees taxes mounting and their variety increasing.
At the ame time W e are demanding Tor forms of governmental
service and the race for patronage among the politically minded is keener
than ever.
One OF two things must happen: Either we must equalize taxation
by making a rigorous and honest application of the present system, 81
we must change it for some form which will automatically apportion bur
dens according to the several abilities and holdings OF the people.

INVESTIGATE CHICAGO AND ELGIN

The Elgin Board of Trade is the only exchange in the world that does
not att least go through the motions of buying and selling oil a large scale
Enormous transactions are necessary to establish prices or stocks and
bonds in New York and for grain and provisions in Chicago. In Elgin,
however, three men meet nee a week and, following a sale of twenty
five tubs Of butter, effected at a figure between bid and asked prices O n
the part usually OF not moret than two traders, a market is made which
becomes basic for dairy products throughout the world.
Several years ago, when the Elgin clique was even less ceremonious
in its price-hxing, a United States court issued an injunction forbiddna
practices Of every kind not based upon bonahde transfers Of actual COM
modfes. 1t is held that the grotesque little performance TO- staged
every seven days meet all the requirements of the law. Assuming that
this view is correct, the fact remains that what consumers everywhere pay
for butter is determined to a large extent by a Board Of Trade which is
not a board Of trade, which arbtratariy puts its prices upon hgh-grade
butter and thus assists in the sale at extortionate rates of Millions OF
pounds inferior in quality.
Judicial proceedings having failed to reach the root of the evil at
Elgin, as at Chicago, it is to congress that the people must look for a
remedy. Publicity is not reished by either of these manipulated markets.
Investigation properly directed will exercise a powerful restraint upon
wrongdoing and open a way to suitable legislation.

BIG DRY" WAVE

The election a SO much like al earthquake in its unexpected e
suits that neither the winners no the losers have yet had time to get
their new bearings and grasp completely the meaning of what happened.
One of its most spectacular and significant features is in the gain that
was made in the nationwide campanign which has 20 long been carried
on by the enemies OF the liquor traffic.
Five more states were added by the election to dry territory
Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Utah and Nebraska. And Virginia
became "dry" at the beginning of the present month through a amend
ment of it's constitution made in September. And apparently this was III
a speeding up OF the steady and increasing progress that has long been
going n with respect to the ant-saloon Observation-Disclosures News.

LEAVES NOTE TELLING
 WHERE TO FIND BODY
John Ingram, 78, of Francis Street, Ends Life By
 Gas.

Made Respondent by an incura ble illness of twenty years duration John Ingram of 42 Francis street, 7S years old, committed suicide at his home this morning by inhaling illuminating gas.
 The aged man, bent upon self de- struction, proceeded in his prepara- tions for suicide in a most business like manner. In the kitchen, directly in front of the door so relatives would be sure to see it when they returned, MT. Ingram left the following note:
 Notice: You will find me in the bath room past all human aid I hope. Shut off the gas in the cellar at once. John Ingram"
 His granddaughter, coming home for dinner, found the missive and rushing to the bathroom upstairs found it locked and a strong odor of gas coming forth. His son-in-law Charles A. Lathrop, was hurriedly called and climbed into the bathroom through a window. He found the dead body of MT. Ingram sitting up- right in a chair, with a tube connect ed with the gas jet in his mouth. Dr. D. w. O'Connell was hurriedly sum- moned but the man was past all hu- man aid, as was his last expressed wish.
 MT. Ingram has been a sufferer from inf1ammatory rheumatism for the past twenty years and last night endured excrutiating pain. He appeared bet ter this morning and after the rest of the family had left, his daughter, Mrs. Lathrop, went to Plainville to visit a daughter. Besides Mrs. Lathrop, MT. Ingram leaves a son, Lester Ingram of 864 Park street, Hartford.
 AS the police patrol is out of order today, Officer A. c. Malone hurried to Francis street with Chief R. M. Dame in the latters car. There call was sent back for the pulmotor, both the police and fire department men got the address wrong, as did Medical Ex- aminer Harry A. Elcock, and the chemical engine equipped with the pulmotor, was raced to 42 Franklin street and then to Franklin square in a vain search. Their services were not needed anyway, as the man was dead.
