It’s anistlng how many people are
signing petltlona to have a murder
er, who happened to eucnpo from
Jail fourteen years ago, pardoned
now. Many of thole who are ap
pealing for him would probably
want him burned at tho stake If hla
offense had been that of breaking
the prohibition law. So much for
fanaticism. It Is very unsafe.

by that name. President Taft Jn a
recent speech on the subject of peace,
id that he thought all questions,
even questions Including questions
of honor, might he left to an Inter
national arbitration court, and Earl
Oray, minister of foreign affairs for
Great Britain, In p fecent speech re
ferred to President Taft’s speech and
spoke earnestly In favor of a peace
treaty between the two great Eng
lish-speaking nations
Those Who have kept abreast with
current history will remember that
there have been two recent efforts to
secure a ratification of peace treaties
between Great Britain and this coun
try, but Inasmuch as the final ratiil-
cation must depend upon the senate,
these treaties struck snags In that
boJy. Borne of those snags were re-
moAed on tho 4th of March last,
and It Is believed now that the treaty
will meet the approval of the senate
and that Secretary Knot and Ambas
sador Bryce are at work In prepara
tion of an agreement to be submitted
to congress though perhaps not ear
lier than the regular session which
will assenfble next December.
There will douhtless he more or
leas opposition In the senate to
fr'endly proposals between this and
the mother canntrr. bnf, as- remark
ed, some of tho snags have been re
moved. Senator Root, of New York,
who ia chairman of the Carnegie
Pence Foundation for which ten mil
lions of dollnrs were recently donated
by Mr, Carnegie, will doubtless do
everything In hla power In the sen
ate to promote th'n peace estate.
He was secretary of state daring tho
second Roosevelt administration, and
he Is closely In touch with pacific and
philanthropic endeavor.
Mr. Carnegie hna said that If two
great nations like this country Tin1
England could reach an agreement
to submit all questions, even those
Involving honor, to an arbitration
court. It would not he long before
the other powerful nations would

coogrees, bn* boon lecturing uu
around Chicago to Hie people of tbo
Windy City and In tbo course of Ida
address on Tuesday night he advised
the young men thero to go South nnd
grow up with the lountry. The next
speakor of the house of representa
tives told the young men of Chicago
tome things about tho Groat South,
which la calculated to make them put
hla name on the Ananias clu9> In the
tablets of tholr minds, oven if they
do not go ao far aa to tell him to.
Since Mr. Clark cornea from tho
great state of Missouri, uud Is sup
posed to be one of thoso people who
has to "bo shown,' It la fair to pre
sume that he waa willing to show
the Chicagoans. He told tbem among
other things that ho knew n man
who made $15,000 uu three acres of
lolluce In ouu year. He also told
them that expense* uro less In the
South than they aro in tho Wont,
that clothing has to bo lighter and
that stock and cuttle have to go
out of doors the year round, while In
tho Went they have to bo housed and
fed. Mr. Clark admitted that what
ho said about tho South sounds
tlshy,” but ho declared that It was
true.
Of course, Mr. Clark ia not doing
syndicate work for any of tho real
estate agencies In tho South, ao what,
