TAFT, A DESCIPLE OFPEACE.
Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of
the British Government, speaking In the House of
Commons Monday said in part: "Twice within the last
two months the President of the United States has
sketched out a step In advance more momentous than
any ono thing that any statesman in his position has
ventured to say before." In effect President Taft's
recent statement is this: "I do not see personally any
reason why matters of National honor should not be
referred to a court of arbitration. I am also of the
opinion that If the United States could negotiate a
positive agreement with some other nation to abide
by the adjudication of an international court on every
question that could not bo settled by negotiation, no
matter what was Involved, a long step forward would
be taken."
The British Minister's own view of British action
is as follows;
"We have no proposal before us and unless
public opinion rises to the height of discussing a
proposal of that kind It cannot be carried out.
But supposing two of the greatest nations of the
world were to make It clear to the whole world by
such an agreement that under no circumstances
were they going to war again I venture to say that
It would have a beneficlent effect.
"The nations that made such an agreement
might bo exposed to attack from a third Power.
This would probably lead to their following with
an agreement to join each other in any case where
one of them had a quarrel with a third nation
which had refused to arbitrate.
"We should be delighted to receive such a pro- (
posal. I should feel it Something so far reaching
In its consequences that It required not only the
signature of both governments but the deliberate
ly decided sanction of Parliament. That I believe
would be obtained."
Regarding these two statements of two men of
world-wide prominence, with a view to their possible
effect on the future history of our civilization, it can
bo easily seen that they are the most striking enuncia
tions made within tho last score of years on the two
fold subject of peace preservation and war prevention.
Any agreement between two such powers as the
United States and Great Britain that neither would
wage war on the other and that each would protect
the other in case of attack from a third nation would
undoubtedly find great opposition on either side of
the Atlantic. Probably Great Britain would benefit
to a larger extent by such an arrangpment than the
United States. Such a coalition could not but be tak
en into serious consideration by an aggrieved third
Power, and in all probability would act as a. decisive
deterrent against attack from any quarter whatsoever.
We cannot but believe that an arrangement which
would include more than two Powers would be more
beneficial. Sir Edward Grey has spoken in the most
gratifying manner of the ease with which at any time
within the last three years it has been possible to dis
cuss differences with Germany in a frank spirit. Such
a statement has the greatest possible significance, com
ing as it does from a man temporarily occupying the
position of Premier, about a nation popularly and, as
we think, erroneously, supposed to be hostile to Eng
land. And If such an arrangement should finally develop
so that the old saying "In time of peace prepare for
war," should be changed to read, "In time of peace
don't think of war" no little credit must be given to
President Taft for his efforts to bring it about.
THE CAUL HOWE DECISION.
But two dissenting voices have been heard in re
tard to the sentence imposed on Carl Howe of La
Plume, Lackawanna county, by Judge A. T. Searle.
These voices, which are neither still nor small, are
Howe's and Holgate's. They were to be expected.
Four juries have convicted Howe and each time Mr.
Holgate has taken an exception. We admire the fight
ing spirit which Mr. Holgate shows in the interests of
his client. Nevertheless we think that ho should ac
quiesce in the popular and surely not excessive sentence
rendered by Judge Searle. Mr. Holgate should be
content with having saved his client from tho peni
tentiary. It is noticeable that the imposition of the' $100 fine is
mot questioned. Tho exception is taken to the costs
which amount to $249. To us these costs do not seem
unreasonable while the exception taken by Mr. Holgate
aloes.
A WARNING TO FARRIERS.
Tuesday, a vagabond, with thieving proclivities,
was convicted of the crime of horse stealing. He is
but one of many such persons who roam the northeast
ern corner of Pennsylvania, under tho guise of honest
peddlers seeking what and whom they may devour.
They take what and where they like, and It is a lament
able fact that only too often do they escape with their
booty, as many farmers In this section of tho state can
testify.
We hope that tho conviction of this man will do
Much to frighten others of his ilk away. There seems
to be a well organized band of horse and cattle thieves
In this section who grow bolder every day. Let them
take warning by the conviction of Simpson and keep
hands off.
The farmers themselves will do well to keep a
strict watch on all suspicious characters who loiter
through the country-side. Strong locks on the doors
of the house and barn will act as a precautionary
Measure. A good watch dog is invaluable.
WOMEN'S FASHIONS.
Women's fashions have long been a subject of no
little amusement. The hobble skirt and its sisterly
or should it bo brotherly? successor, the harem skirt,
the smoking in public and the carrying of canes, have
furnished the jokesmiths with a great deal of material
which they have used to a large extent. Undoubtedly
some of the costumes worn by women that is some
women to-day are peculiar to say the least. But not
more so than somo of the men's fashions which gener
ally escape comment.
It has become a dally question as to what the
women are going to wear next. Fifth avenue Is accus
tomed to gaze with wonder and awe upon novel clothes
which create, to the wearer's great disgust, not more
than a three day's wonder. It seems to be tho am
bition of a select few to astonish the world with fash
Ions that last only until the novelty wears off.
Some of the costumes are freakish in the extreme,
For Instance, wo can think of no good and sufficient
reason for a woman to want to carry a cane. Of
what use is a cane to a woman? Surely she does not
need it for self-protection when the long hat pins she
now wears are taken into consideration.

been selected at White Mills, where
there is a never-failing spring of the
purest water. Tho land owner has
offered the site selected for and
equal to the amount of the value In

ready twenty thousand dollars have
been subscribed without any solici
tation whatever and It looks to mo
that tho prospects are very bright.
