PRESIDENT LOWELL EXPLAINS
PLANS OF PEACE LEAGUE


Ii Il evident that many Of the obiec
lions to the League. to Enforce Peace
as voiced by Col Roosevelt and others
arise from misconception Of the
nature OF the proposed arrangement
A recent statement made BY President
Lowell OF Harvard university, explain
ing how the league would work, should
serve to set at rest some OF the critl.
cism. President Lowell says:
"At the outset II will be observed
that the use OF force is to be limited
to restraining war until the countries
involved have submitted their claims
to a judicial tribunal or council Of con.
elliation; and that no attempt is made
to enforce the award Some men have
urged the need of going farther, and
compelling acceptance OF the decisioni
but the trainers OF the programme
have thought this premature They
believe that what they suggest IS as
much as the great countries Of the
world will accept today and that II
adopted II will suffice to prevent al
most all wars A cord strained too
hard will snap. There are questions
like the Monroe Doctrine and Asiatic
immigration. ON which the American
people would hardly agree TO accept
as final the Judgment OF an interna-
tional tribunal or council and yet in
which we should not hesitate TO agree
to present our cluse to such a body
before resorting to arms.
"One class Of critics. without deny
ing that the use OF force may be prop
err, believe that II win not be necessa-
~ or effective They assert that the
public opinion Of mankind VIII be
enough to compel any nation to submit
its grievances to some international
body and abide by the result. But men
who know the story Of the last sixty
years when the opinions OF mankind
have been more distinctly .averse to
bloodshed than ever before, and yet
when probably more men have been
killed IN battle than in the same
length OF time in any period of the
worlds history, may be excused for
being skeptical about the efficacy Of
pacit.cist opinions III preventing war.
The history OF civilization within or
ganized communities has been that Of
placing an effective Ultimate sanction
Of force behind the law; and the more
irresistible the force. the less has been
the need Of it, the less apparent it has
become, until we sometimes forget its
existence and its necessity
Does anyone seriously suppose that
the decisions Of the supreme court in
cases involving a powerful corporation
or a great organized body Of men
would be carried out if it were well
understood that the civil government
would pay no heed to them but inform
the court that if the parties did not
choose to comply with them the matter
might rest there? When President
Lincoln forbade the civil and military
officers to obey the summons OF Chief
Justice Taney the court was powerless
and its action fruitless Decisions Of

 At this time the Zimmerman Letter" appears to be conceded as having come from the German government.
 That letter, if correctly quot ed, ia 2 spit in the face of every man, and child of German biQoah ,- United States. Il means that Germany thinks more of Ke friendship of the Mexicans fhan she does of th. friendship of, German-American>

Arkansas---A Banner State

| A railroad official visiting m Little Rock recently said that Arkansas has a greater future than any State in the Union. This man had travelled through out the United States and his statement was based on a care ful study of conditions for his company.
 That others have also noted l the wonderful development of Arkansas is shown by an article printed in the March, 1917, issue of "Judicious Advertising" | It is pointed out that Arkansas annually produces 156 per cent of the value of her land. and in this respect forges ahead of even such States as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
 l Arkansas ranks third in the production of cotton.
 In aggregate crop value in 1916 she surpassed Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky. Virginia, South Carolina. Mississippi. Ala bama, Louisiana and Florida, al- though she has smaller per cent of negroes in her population than any Southern State.
 The yield of rice in Arkansas last year was greater per acre than the two great rice States of Louisiana and Texas.
 The value of Arkansas cotton per acre in 1916 was $10.3 high CT that that of Texas and $11. 51 ! higher than that of Oklahoma.
 The value of her Irish pota- toes, sweet potatoes and hay in 1916 was greater per acre than r that of Texas
 With the exception of Califor- nia. Arkansas had the largest crop of peaches last year of any State in the Union.
 She shipped 1.750 carloads of her strawberries to many see tions of the country and her ap- ples were also in demand in oth- CT States.
 There are more hogs in the State of Arkansas than in Okla homa or Tennessee.
 Arkansas has the only Dia- mond mines in the world outs idle of Africa.
 There are more miles of navi- gable rivers in this State than any other State in the Union.
 The United States navy uses smokeless coal mined in Arkan- Sas.
 Arkansas produces more than 75 per cent of the worlds source of aluminium (bauXite).
 Her unsurpassed clays are used in the manufacture of a fine grade of pottery.
 One tenth of the hardwood lumber of the world is produced in Arkansas.
 Five millions of dollars of good roads are being constructed in this State, tick eradiction is be- ing pushed, with State and fed eral appropriations, the raising of live stock encouraged, and there is a constant influx of high class immigrants from other States
 The railroad official was right when he sad that Arkansas has the greatest future of any state in the Union. Those who enter the State now will share in the great profits accu ring from the States rapid development.
