The Conquest of Peace.
Milton sang that "Peace hath
her victories no less renowned
than war." The poet was right.
While nations of the old world
have for years been arming to
the teeth to conquer each other,
the United States has been
steadily and successfully conquering
nature that two oceans
separated by a narrow isthmus
might be made one, and the commerce
of the world pass through
tjie canal without let or hind- i
ranee.
That task is now practically
accomplished. While nations
are flying at each other's throats
in the mad lust to conquer, the
Isthmus of Panama admits that
it has been conquered by the
peaceful methods employed by
this ^country, and it is a con
A ? ! A 1 _ _ ll . A n 11
quest, uniiKe tnose mat iouow
war, fraught with nothing but!
blessing for all mankind.
The quiet and successful passage
of the canal the other day
by a large ship belonging to this
country marked the beginning of
a new era in the commercial
history of this land, and also in
that of the fcworld generally, and
that era will be distinguished by
constant progress and prosperity
that will result in bringing the
nations of the world into closer ;
touch with each other.
Of course the building of the
canal has cost millions upon
* millions of money but it has all
!>een spent for the welfare of
the world. Far otherwise is it
with the countless millions spent
to arm nations, and place them
against each other in battle
array.
, Where the Remedy Lie*.
The railroads, or many of them,
are disappointed because the
Interstate Commerce Commis-;
sion did not make a flat reduction
of freight rates applicable to all
the roads. The papers cor.-1
trolled by the roads are also j
lamenting what they consider1
the unfair decision of the Com-1
mission. . ^
That is to be expected for that
is their mission, but they may
just as well make up their minds
that the Interstate Commerce
(^bmmission was not formed to
play into the hands of the roads, !
nor to act unjustly towards them,
but to conserve the interests of
the public without preventing!
the roads reaping a fair profit.
It may tl\erefore be taken for
granted that the Commission, |
made up as it is of experts,
reached a just conclusion after1
weighing all the evidence. ),
If the roads feel that they are
not making a profit thev can
easily remedy that by cutting
out passes. Good authorities
say that the giving of oasses to 1
legislators, judges, and a host of
other individuals who are sup|)osed
to have influence costs the
roads $20,000,000 every year. |
That amount would materially
help to create dividends for |
stockholders. Apart from that i
there is also the further fact to j
he considered that passes are a j <
species of bribery and waft for ;
which the public has to pay in
more ways than one.
:i
We are all thankful that the, j
next primary is two years off.

The Harvester trust is to be
dissolved. Such a decision by
the Supreme Court a few yeatt
ago would have kindled a confidence
that free competition
would naturally follow, and that'
all the evils of restrained tradfc

mist. But the public has learned
by sorrowful experience thqjt
dissolutions do not necessarily
dissolve. The Standard Oil,
Tobacco and other trusts, against
which the Supreme Court decided,
continued to flourish* and
even to pay larger 'dividends
than before. All of Which goes
to show that the machinery of
the law is very imperfect
Doubtless the time will come
when a decree of dissolution will
actually mean something.

The evil of one thing sometimes
obliterates some other evil,
and for that let us be thankful.
The sudden outbreak of war- on
the European continent has led
to the disappearance of Huerta's
picture and even to mention of
his name. For that Met us be
exceptionally thankful.
The Ttrrens System.
Before the State or national
government can do anything
effective in the line of rural
credits for the land-owners a
better system of registering land
titles must be devised, says a
writer in an exchange. What
will it profit us if a somewhat
lower interest rate is obtained,
or if money for land loans1 is
made more easily available if
we then find that titles are too
doubtful to be accepted as
collateral, or if the prohibitive
cost of examining a title every
time a loan is wanted, keeps the
farmer froip using the rural
credit system so laboriously
wrougutout for his benefit?
With the passage of a ' law
making government finds available
for farm loans, it becomes
a question of Meviel importance
to all interest in the State,
financial as well as agricultural
that no time should be lost in
securing its passage.
rne cniei advantages of the
Torrens system are that it makes
for economy and stab'lity of
title. When land is once registered
under this system, the
title is settled once and for all
time, the State being behind it
as guarantor, and the cost of
subsequent transieris minimized
while the special proceedings
necessaiy to secure such registration
are simple and no more
expensive than those attaching
to each and every conveyance
under the methods now obtaining.

TAKE DODSON'S AMD!
STAY ON YOUR FEET
Taking calomel means staying <
"home for the day?take Dodson's ,
Laver Tone; and save a day's
work. If an attack of constipation
or biliousness hits you,
there's no need to take a dose
r of calomel and spend at least a
day getting over the efEectS of
it. Ardrey's Drug store sells
Dodson's liver Tone, which they
guarantee .takes the place of
calomel and starts a lazy liver
without bad after-effects.
Dbdson's Liver Tone does all
the good that calomel can do, yet
it is absolutely harmless to young
people and old. It is a pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid that will
relieve constipation or sour stomach
or other troubles that go
along with a lazy liver, without
restriction of habit or diet. You
don't leave off any of the things
you regularly do when you take
Liver Tone.
A large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone sells for 50 cents.
Get the genuine and if you are
not pleased with it the druggist
from whom you bought it will
give your money back with a
smile. ^ *
