A PAN-AMERICAN
LAW ASSEMBLY
Movement to Insure Peace Be
tween Western States,
TENTATIVE PLANS READY,
Carnegie Endowment and a Noted
Chilean Publicist Have Been Quietly
Organizing It Conference to Be
Held In This Country.
A quiet movement, begun some tlmo
ngo, looking to tightening bonds of
sympathy nnd Interest between states
of the western hemisphere, Is begin
ning to tnke tangible form. In the
nonr future It Is expected a pnn
Atnericnu conference will be held, per
haps In Washington, nlthough some
other American capital may be se
lected, Ilecognizlng the suspicion nnd dis
trust 011 the part of smaller states of
Latin America toward their more pow
erful neighbors, an effort Is to be
made to link together men of Intelli
gence and Influence In public nffalrs
In the various countries for the pur
pose of diminishing international fric
tion nnd the risks of war by the crea
tion of a pan-American International
law conference.
The moving spirits in this enterprise
have been Dr. James Brown Scott,
secretary of the Carnegie Endowment
For International I'eace, and Senor Al
varez, a ivotcd Chilean publicist Last
October they sent confidential notes
to public men throughout South and
Central America, outliinng the scheme
for the projected conference, which
may do for the Americas what the fa
mous international law conference has
been doing for Europe.
The plan contemplates the creation
of the pan-American conference on the
basis of n membership of Ave interna
tional lawyers in each of the repub
lics, These members would bo select
ed by local or national and interna
tional law societies, insuring n repre
sentative gathering. A meeting held
in Washington last April, without at
tracting public attention, selected
members of the first conference, who
will give place to those hereafter
elected by the various national associations.
A constitution nnd bylaws were
agreed upon nnd have been sent to
the temporary members, with n re
quest that they submit amendments
their local institutes as to the" nroner
lean international conference, to be
held some time in 0913.
To further the plan n special edi
tion in Spanish of the magazine of the
Carnegie endowment is being sent to
all of the American republics.

What Shall We Do With the Negro?
By CHARLES STELZLE
BOOICEIt T. WASHINGTON onco said, "Tho only way that you enn keep
tho negro In tho gutter Is to stay thcro with him." No doubt Wash
ington is right. Hut hero ho Is ten millions strong. What shall wo do
with him? Tho negro will not return to Afrlcn to establish n Llbcrinn repub
lic, as some people have fondly wished. Ho camo to tho United Stntcs ngalnst
his will, nnd he's going to stay here.
It's simply a question ns to whether ho is to bo n "good" negro or n "bad"
negro, nnd tho nnswer to this question depends ns much upon tho whites ns
It does upon the blacks.
Tho fact that the negro Is dying in such largo numbers of tuberculosis nnd
other etlll more frightful diseases is, of course, due to his Ignoranco nnd to

other reasons for which he Is largely responsible, but wo cannot forget that
it is also to bo charged to the fact that he Is compelled to live In tho worst
sections of our towns nnd cities, often without drainage or sewerage or gar
bage service, without water within a reasonable distance and scarcely nny of
xue sanitary conditions in House or yard or street which wiiites consider an
absolute necessity. Wo drive tho worst forms of immorality into the negro
quarters and then curse the negro becnuse of his moral weakness. We subject
him to the severest test of our city life physical, moral nnd politlcal-and then
cynically declare that the "nigger" is no good anyway. Considering the short
time that the negro has had any sort of chance for preparing himself for
citizenship in n democracy ho has done marvelously well. Let's clve him a
square deal a man's chance. Neither race hatred nor mawkish sentimentality
will settle this very delicate question. Tho south cannot settle it alone, anil
the north cannot do tho work for the south. The north and the south, the city
and the country, must tackle the thing together, for this Is a national problem.
"PARLIAMENT OF MAN"
MEETS IN AMERICA.
Tennyson's Dream Realized In Con
gress of Chambers of Commerce.
Tho International congress of ehnm
flers of commerce, which convenes in
Kostou Sept. 2-1 to 28, probably comes
the nearest to n world parliament of
anything outside of the peace congress
ut The Hague. After adjournment the
body will tour the country.
Chicago will bo host in the first week
of October to this most cosmopolitan
aggregation of visitors that she has en
tertained since the AVorld's fair. The
delegates will travel by special train,
nnd the party will bo made up of ac
credited representatives of Algeria,
South Africa, Arabia, Australia, Bel
glum, Canada, Central America, Chile,
France, Germany, Great Britain,
Greece, Hawaii, Italy, New Zealand,
Norway, Panama, Teru, Portugal, Bus
sla, Sweden, Switzerland, Argentina,
Tasmania, Turkey, United States and
practically every other civilized couu
try on the globe. To avoid difficulty
it Is probable that three languages will
be recognized ns the official languages
of tho congress French, German and
English.
Tennyson's dream of the "parliament
of man, tho federation of tho world,"
has been realized in the international
congress, so fnr as commercial prob
lems nro concerned. Tho visitors nro

tho government of international ex
positions, the necessity of nn Intornn

controversies between Individuals nnd
various states, international postal re
forms, tho exchange of commercial sta
tistics through an international bureau,
tho necessity for an International con
ference on tho high cost of living nnd
other subjects. Incidentally the con

commercial questions impossible.

During the season of 1011 over 3.000
