The right of a neutral like the, United States, which has suffered jf\ ?. : j from the effects of the European war,: to initiate a movement for peace, was asserted before the League to Enforce Peace, by Senator Stone, chairman of the senate foreign com-! mittee, in St. Louis last Thursday j night. "Since the war. almost from the beginning, has resulted in continued offensive attacKs on uie ngms a.u i dignity of this sovereignty and in j inflicting incalculable injury to our j national interests?all of which we have borne with patience because of j our friendship for the nations in- j volved," said Senator Stone, "it ' seems to me that after enduring their | attacks and suffering these losses for j nearly two and a half years, with no end yet in sight, we have a right, without regard to any question of sympathy or humanity, but solely on our own account, to approach the combatants as a mutual friend and open negotiations with a view to the re-establishment of normal international conditions. "Our relations to the combat are j such, and our interests are so in-: volved, that I think we have a right i to speak?a right so clear as to entitle us to speak without asking and without just offense. We would not speak impertinently as inter- i meddlers, but as a friend who suf-' fered grievously and innocently from the ruthless acts of war." The senator declared he wished it distinctly understood that he spoke on his own personal responsibility. He said he would not discuss the widom or unwisdom of an approach of the belligerents with peace pro-1 posals, but merely of "the propriety; of the rights" and pointed out that J distinguished men in this country! and in the warring countries have j warned that such a movement would ! not only be futile but offensive. "I am not disposed," he added, "to accept without questioning eith- j er the accuracy of these statements i or the soundness of the reason on which they are predicated. Two fam-1 ilies with feud between them, might i not, so long as they kept the peace-! and observed the law, resent any ef-' fort of an outsider to harmonize them; but if they should break forth into open war so as to disturb the general peace and visit universal harm upon the whole neighborhood, w IODERIN WAGON ins, channels and angles, parts and wheels are bi le DAVENPORT you ha' THOUSAND P le and of lighter draft th< ;el, with strong, round sp< do away with the resetting NO BREAK-D Oil Without Removing W DAVENPORT F L Fr imber 49 _. i-. _. r Gar rick Died in This Bed. London Museum Gets Antique Made for Actor in East India. ] A gift of historical interest and' 1 importance hds recently been receiv- ] ed at the Victoria and Albert mu- : seum. David Garrick's bed has been presented to the museum by H. E. Trevor, a direct descendant of David Garrick's brother, George. The bedstead was made about | 1 1775 for Garrick's villa at Hampton,! : where it remained after Garrick's j death and during Mrs. Garrick's: lifetime, and subsequently until the!1 s|le of the villa in 1864. The bedstead consists of a wooden canopy with columns decorated with | 1 ornaments characteristic of the pe- : riod, the original green and yellow paint being well preserved. The hangings of cotton, paintedj in colors with designs of "The Tree j of Life," were made in a factory of; the East India company at Mesuli- j' patam, Madras, and were presented i to Garrick by merchants of Calcut- 1 ta.?London Times.

Why should not the same! rule apply, morally and legally, to the family of nations?" The United States, the senator' said, has suffered from acts commit- j ted, which "have been grossly offensive to our national pride and hurtful beyond estimate to our national interests." He cited censorship of the mails, ships seized or sunk on the high seas, peaceful commerce with neutrals interrupted or interdicted, and American citizens? j "men, women and children guilty of i no offense"?killed on land and sea j without warning and without justi-i ficatiou." "There have bet 1 times," he con-' tinued, "when our patience has been strained to the limit, and when danger to our own national peace lurked; in the thickening shadows of every i passing day. Yet, there have been; times when our peace was preserved only by the clear vision, tin ..teady Jiand, the resolute heart of one man. Do not such things give us some right of our own to speak a kindly j word on behalf of peace?" Construcl Fifty years aj 9 Bridges were buil and maple.

The Manning Times tells of the terrible crime committed by a little negro boy. He ran his hand through the window ana stoie some money from the postoffice. That was stealing. Yes, sirree. And the" postmaster had the police to arrest him and they put him in jail. A government inspector got him and put him in jail some more. The narrative concludes: "The amount taken was about 53 cents. In the ea<rly summer at Honea Path a farmer got hold of a bottle of something labelled "whiskey." He took one drink and the next thing he knew he was picked up off the floor of the postoffice. The last thing he remembered was that he was looking for a place to lie down. Probably leaned up against the door of the postoffice and?fell in. Yet he was tried in the United States court for breaking in. Tried and, we believe, convicted. It is a fine thing for the United j States court to bear a name of ap-! plying justice inexorably. This will deter many crooks from running j across the dead line. Yet the two j instances above cited seem pitiful i when we consider the real plunder-! ing that is going on in the very face j of federal anti-trust laws?and no j offender is made to walk the plank. The cry of the people is gaining' in volume. Their resentment against; high prices without adequate and commensurate wage increases will! make itself felt by the time congress i assembles. The law pounces down upon a lot J of darkies in a game of craps and lets men of respectability laugh at! the laws against election bets. The law is intolerant of a negro boy's offense, stealing 53 cents, ^ut lets the; manipulators of prices of provisions' take millions to which they are not entitled.
