The arms conference, which
insists on turning into a peace
conference, is moving g toward:
success: Within q few. DAYS,
very likely before this sees print,
it's onclusions for which it was
called will have been, reached:
The leading powers Of the world
will agree to reduce the number
of their ships of war and defer
their preparations for making
war. The larger success, the
making of peace is in the air,
brought somehow nearer by the
mere holding of this conference.
1t is slow process and statesme en-
boegle sadly over it: Their train
Ing is all in the other direction and
statesmen do not easily learn. They

they contend for leeway to endure
troubles instead Of following the peo-
pie who wish to be ril of them

but ten. battleships, japan six.

Kenyon. "But If the senate of the
United States is to justify the expeR.
diture Of hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars to secure.a seat here; the rule
Of the people is done. No man of
even moderate means can attain a
place in this body. No poor man
or woman can ever dream of it..
"The' record teens with mystery
and abounds in nasty specimens of
corrupting influence. The case reeks
with fraud. Books disappeared; ;
original documents. such as checks,
were destroyed; witnesses told amaz-

false retur1s were made to county
