old Nose told him, then hurried into
the kitchen.
We all sat around the table while
Clifford ate his breakfast, then troeped
after him when he went to his room
to see what he had brought Zona for
our wedding gifts.
Edith could scarcely contain herself
until the trunk was opened; but when
a big doll was produced she went off BY
herself and left us.

Traction and Progress

The entrance of the United States into
league to enforce peace would be step demand
{ ing the gravest consideration but it would not
necessarily be an "cntangng alliance
Washington's warning, which has become
kind OF religion with us, and properly so when
correctly interpreted was not directed against
such a combination as today is discussed. Then
as now we were inclined to place our European
syfnpathies ahead of our Amcricanism, and the
cntangiements that he had in mind contemplated
war and not peace.
No one was more conscious than the first
president Of the fact that American independence
was gained by an alliance. Fully aware Of the
benefits thus-achieved for ourselves and for
mankind, he never could have regarded with dis
favor national cooperation having the same ends
in view and on much larger scale II we are
that the purpose OF league to enforce peace
is sincere. holding aloof from it might result in
the greatest OF mischiefs.
The, suggestion that such league would i'm
pair the Monroe doctrine seems to be baseless.
That policy has resulted in formidable league
against conquest in the western hemisphere. As
il is better understood It gains in strength. The
proposed league to enforce peace would be an ex-
tension of the same principle to the old world.
Entered upon in good faith by other important
natoins, our refusal to participate in it. instead
Of safeguarding the Monroe doctrine, would more
likely be accepted as the abandonment OF that
] noble inspiration.
In their lives Washington and Monroe did not
undertake to rule the United States against right
aud reason We must be careful not to let the

the way to progress and safety

Shorn of its rhetorical language, the formal
answer OF the allies to the German proposal
conveys only the statement that peace cannot be
made on such tearms as England, France, Russia
and Italy conceive Germany is ready to offer.
But aside fro insisting that Belgium be restored
and recompensed nothing is explicitly set forth
peace can be established.
This does not dispose OF the peace proposal,
however, for the notes sent by the neutral gov
ernments to the belligerents are still 10 be con-
sidered. Through the way thus opened approach
may be had to a dis discussion that will even
tually lead to definite terms 1t is all very well
for the warriors to talk of one side crushing the
other, but the finish is more likely to come
through the operation OF other agencies than the
troops in the field
According to Bernhard who figured so prom
inently as Germany's highest military authority
previous TO the war, resort TO armed force is
merely a continued effort to attain ends which
diplomacy has failed to accomplish, and it is
plainly corollary that when orcefails to achieve
the end, resort again to diplomacy may become
necessary. The answer OF the Allies declares
that they do not think the time arrived to sus-
penn tne connict OF arms on the conuit1ons, or
lack Of conditions, proposed by their enemies but
the contents of the note and its general tenor
show appreciation of the necessity of holding
sympathetic public sentiment among the neutrals
for which both sides are now so strenuously
playing.
The peace talk will not arrive anywhere for
the immediate present, but it has to an extent
already introduced an element of instability into
the situation which will remain now until peace
negotiations actually begin, no matter how long
deferred

The Wild Horse Game.

Those who followed the details OF the wild
horse confidence game as it developed in the
federal court no doubt INDUCED in satircal smiles
or ehortled wonderingly at the simplicity of the
victims The stories told on the witness stand
by investors show degree of confidence and
cupidity rivaling the trimmed bettcrs on fake
horse races or bogus wrestling matches. They
placed boundless faith in the mellow words of
promoters. They loved horses tame and wild,
and, knowing the profits ahead and ready market,
the deal bulked large as sure thing and they
took the plunge
There is nothing surprising in the game or
the outcome. 1t is new only in commodity dealt
in. The range of visibility Of wild horses is no
greater than the golden vista of imaginary, wealth
which is the common stock in trade Of shady
promoters. During the mad days of the South
Sea bubble two centuries ago the progenitor of
the wild horse game appeared in scheme for
importing Spanish jackasses into England for
the purpose Of propagating large mule When
investors sought glimpse of the animals history
intimatcs that friends silently led them to a
looking glass, The modern promoter showed
greater consideration in providing distant view
Of the range and glimpses Of skittish bronchos.
The trial and the outcome serve to emphasize
the increasing risk Of working shady game.
Without the use Of the mails crooked schemes
must be localized and that fact operates against
wild-catting on the nationwide scale of twenty
years ago Then, as now, state laws lacked reach
and speed to be effective. The greater reach Of
federal laws the persistence Of pursuit and ability
to stand the expense Of prosecution, constitute a
judicial buzz saw that few sane promoters will
triAe with. Moreover, federal summons over
comes the victims dislike to giving himself
away" inspublic and pulls down the main prop Of
crooked promotion The forces working under
federal auspices steadily reduce the range of easy
money and diminish the wool clip Of easy marks.
