The Peace Convention.

v The program of the League to Enforce
Peace. which meets here in its first an
nual session today, may be regarded by
some as Utopian. but 1t is none the less
a most commendable ideal which has
been set up as an objective. Notice the
title of the organization-'.Th League
to Enforce Peace" Peace, not by aca-
dcmic persuasion. but peace by restraint,
compulsion. force. Peace between the
nations of the earth is desired of all
men who have at heart the welfare of
mankind No one can urge war for
wars sake without assuming an inde-
fensibe position before the tribunal of
civilization. At the other extreme from
such an advocate of war for the sale
of conquest or selfish advantage is the
proponent of peace at any price to avoid
strife. whatever the object sacrificed
1t is not to be believed that those who
at this session represent most fully the
desire for constructive and honorable
peace between the powers are advocates
of peace whatever the cost.
The basic principle of this propose
advocated by the League to Enforce
Peace is true internationalism world
compact founded upon good faith and
equipped with truly international po-
lice force. This may be an impossible
proposition There are many obstacles,
difficulties of race, of jealousieS, of sus
picions. But in the light of this terri
BILE conflict now raging in Europe. which
must bring to every inhabitant of the
participating countries realization of
the needless waste of war, it is possible
that when peace has been restored in
Europe desire for its continuance may
develop so strongly in all lands as TO
overcome these difficulties.
Great ends are achieved only through
the persistent endeavor of men and
women of high ideals and earnest inten-
ton, unflagging in the face of obsta-
cles, holding forever steadfast to their
principles. This present meeting is
composed of such workers It cannot
fail to bring the world nearer to real;
zation of state of peace founded upon
reason and justice, even though the de-
velopment may be. slow and perhaps
marked by many reverses.

be as effective as denial coupled with
this strange plea of evil influence. The
diabolism with which Waite put his
wife's parents to death is certainly not
a normal manifestation, but it does not
necessarily follow that it was result
of brain disorder There seems to have
been mcrcenary motive in his crimi-
nality.
The outcome of this ease vii! be of
special interest to students of crime,
and especially those who hold to the
belief that mental unbalance is sufi-
cient defense for murder.

An Interesting Rumor.

An unnamed New York politician re-
Gently visited Washington for the pur-
pose of getting the latest line on the
general political situation and pros
poets. Upon returning homc he dis
eussed his trip and its fruits with
friends. and this is attributed TO him
He stated that some time III the cam
paign Wilson would issue a broad state
ment on world conditions based on the
great war. Our domestic politics will
definitely determine our future inter
national relations, he will claim. In the
readJustment of the worlds affairs. the
part the United States will play must
be determined by the administration of
the next President; all the people are
vitally interested. will be President vii
sons argument, and all should be heard
in the final framing of our international
policy. Therefore. he will conclude,
that if reelected he will surround him
self with cabinet of counselors who
shall be selected because of their men
tai worth-as wise advisers when this
great question is presented. In the final
weighing of qualifications, the Pres-
dent will proclaim that politics shall
have no weight and men of all parties
will be called into his inner councils"
That is to say, after his nomination
for President as a democrat bv demo-
cratic national convention, on a plat
form proclaiming democratic principles,
Mr.. Wilson will ask reelection on non
partisan grounds, holding that Ameri-
can interests during the coming four
years can only be dealt with in a spirit
higher and broader than party.
What would be the result of such 2
maneuver! Failure, inevitably The
approaching campaign is certain to show
some changes as respects individuals
Not all the men who voted for Mr. Will
son in 1912 will repeat that performance
this year. Not all the men who sup
ported Mr.. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt in
1912 will support the nominee of the
Chicago convention. But parties will
not be abolished. The next President
Will be a democrat or a republican, and
obliged to look to those who have
elected him as such to hold up his hands
in office.
If reelected, Mr. Wilson may call new
men to the cabinet table. In fact, Cos
sip to that effect has for some time
been current. Mr.. Cleveland's second
cabinet included no man who had been
a member of the first. But, with one
exception, all were, and had been, demo.
Gratis. The exception was Judge Gresham.
He had been, and for that matter still
was, a republican, but had supported
Mr.. Cleveland for election for reasons
largely personal. He did not like Gen.
Harrison. But neither Mr.. Cleveland
nor Judge Gresham profted by the ap-
pointment; and death relieved an en-
barrassing situation.
In this day, when rumor factories are
running full time, nearly everything
"goes." But this thing will hardly
'go." An old-fashioned contest is being
staged; and voters will take sides on
demand and an assurance that platform
pledges made in party names shall rep
resent party purposes.
