NEARLY UNIVERSAL PEACE. “With the end of the Boer war the whole world ts BOW at pence with one trifling but painful exception. To a remote corner of the far East the greatest re- pablic in the world is stil! compelled to carry on mili- tary operations with the object of teaching the lesson @f benevolent assimilation to a few millions of be- Wiléered and unhappy Filipinos, but with thie ex- spice the world has realized the {deal of that unt- peace ° in which “Phe war drum throbs no longer and the dattle flags are furled.” 4 Why is this not a good opportunity to make peace ~ @ompleta and perpetual? Why should we not give the Filipincs their country and their independence ead try another Hague Convention? Would not that be a ‘Detter business than misusing Decoration Day for @peeches in praise of militarism? Wouldn't it look more consistent, to say the least, if Brother Jonathan | ghould appear as the advocate of disarmament and of | ~— “perpetual peace and universal good will among man- h | Iki inetead of being, as ho is, the only disturber of an ‘Hs otherwise millennial tranquillity all over the earth? : Where the Blame Lies.—Tho real cause of the Staten Island automobile accident the negligence of the road master. ‘The road was too uneven,” says Chauf four Baker. If the road had been smoother the mile-a~ minute racing machine would not have veered from Its course and no one would have been hurt. We must look to the Automobile Club to prosecute the offending om- clals for their negligence in thus imperilling human life STRIKES AND THE PUBLIC. In one essential but unregarded feature the strike of the Chicago stockyarnds teamsters resembles the strike of the anthracite coal miners, and that is in the y utter disregard of the welfare of the public. It does ‘mot seem to occur to either side in these quarrels that ‘ the general public has any interest whatever worth | considering, or that the public welfare is entitled to | __the slightest protection. Yesterday tens of thousands of meat consumers 4 4m Chicago were deprived of their customary and * mecessary food supplies, just es hundreds of thousands ‘of cos] consumers in the Hast have been cut off from _ their coal supply without even a suggestion that there is any legal remedy, or any possibility of relieving the public by shifting the burden of the contest to the _ contestants. Yet’ corporations chartered to perform other necessary public service are compelled under heavy penalties to continue their service without interrup- |- thon. We should not permit a gas or electric-light 4 company to leave a city in darkness because it could mot agree with ite employees on the question of ‘wages; we should not allow a street car company or @ telephone or telegraph company to cease operating. ‘The vatuable franchise which carries the right@to a A ‘ Profitable business in rendering a public service carries with it the duty of continuous service and of settling ite affairs with its employees without needless damage and loss to the public. _ Buch a condition of affairs as exists in Chicago to- 4 ‘day in the question of meat supply and in New York E in the question of coal supply ought not to be possible, and it would not be possible if public interests were as 4 4 well guarded in Jawmaking as the interests of corporations, ‘The Music of the People—in the selection of the musio for the recreation piers only common sense is needed. ‘Common sense teaches that the people do not want clas- steal music all the time, and, on the other hand, they ean do without rag-time music on Sundays. AN AUTOMOBILE TRAP. a The resourceful Mayor of Winnetka, Ill, has de- iq vised an automobile trap worthy to be compared in P éMficiency with young Lovatt’s barricade at the bridge on the Nyack road. Necessity, as the mother of in- Vention, ought to be proud of this device; it 1s so ad- ¥ mirable in its simplicity. It consiste of an inch rope ¥ @tretched across the highway and attached at either side to a stout oak tree. Guarding the rope are four Policemen, ready to seize the chauffeur as soon as his Machine is enmeshed. A hundred yards before it @tands another policeman, who lures on the unsuspicl- ous automobilist by warning him and thereby inciting im to greater speed. Four automobiles were caught dn the trap yesterday and their chauffeurs corralled, 3 At the next annual convention of mayors, soon to ; be held, we may look for a vote: of thanks for the | Winnetka executive and a general adoption of his {n-| “vention. What the lasso is to the range his rope trap ‘will be to the automobile-infested highways. .

Now the Yachtsman Says She May Stay There. “You can be sure T shall not tow any dingey astern again this season," said the owner of the fastest thirty-foot boat {n the harbor. “It's putting temptation In some one's wa “What's the matter now? You are al “Why, we went sailing Saturda; knew that Miss Bender was anxious to get back before 6 o'clock, and I planned to oarry out her wishes, but before we were half way to the four-mile orlb I found that she had an engagement to dine with Willle Weitman, my ‘nated rival.’ Then I thought up a bold, bad scheme. I knew the southeast wind would surely go down about 5 o'clock. I managed things carefully 80 that we were becalmed three miles off shore. I saw my rival's finish then and took flend- ish delight in telling the crowd that we should have to stay out until about 10, as ft was out of reason to expect another breewe before that time, That raised a big howl, Miss Bender said she was going to get ashore If she had to swim. I knew I had lost if she would rather eat dinner with Welt- man than go without a meal and sail with me. However, I saw a chance to get revenge. “Then some idiot suggested that I row her in, for all the time we were trailing that blooming dingey astern. Words failed me." ‘The captain scowled thoughtfully, says the Chicago News, and then continued: “I gave the tiller to one of the crow, got the dingey alongside the yacht and Miss Bender and I started for the harbor. Our dingey never was noted for easy rowing, and about the time I had covered one-third of the three miles I felt mighty mean. Rowing $s poor business anyway. Just as I helped Miss Bender up the landing I heard a yell and there was my yacht making the mooring; for'a breeze had spring up and they came spinning after me ahd all the crew were grinning. Perhaps | wasn't mad. “T didn't @sk Miss Bender to go sailing again. She can stay on shore this summer and talk to her Willie boy.” ACURIOUS OATH Probablythe most curtous European oath is adminis- tered in Norway.
