INTERESTING ADDRESS
W. G. Hubbard. Vice Pre«*ioVntAmeri
can Peace Society, Advocates
World-Wide Peace.
mm, . A"--'
Rev. W. G. Hubbard, of Columbus,
Ohio, vice president of the American
, Peace Society, was In Pullman Mon
day and delivered an interesting ad
dress at the college during the chapel
period that morning, which was lis
tened to by a large audience of stu
dents and several townspeople. Mr
Hubbard took for his theme "A Great
World Movement Toward Peace," a
subject with which but few people
are familiar, but one which should
*be thoroughly understood by every
one.
"Dating from the murder of Abel
by Cain, the history of the world has
been largely that of war and blood
shed," said Mr. Hubbard. "Fifteen
times the population of the globe has
been destroyed and the cause has
been more nonsense than any other
reason."
"We hear the question of national
honor talked of in every language,
and many there are who base their
contentions of warfare on national
honor. The most dishonorable thing
that men have ever done is to bathe
their hands in the blood of their fel
low men to establish honor. The
question of dollars and cents is giv
en as another cause of warfare, but
as a matter of fact, the majority of
these so-called serious causes con
cern problems not worth one single
human life. In the great Franco-
Prussian war In 1870, it was not the
idea of succession to the Spanish
throne that was the bone of conten
tion, but the two nations persisted
in the quarrel because they had big
armies that they had to use. Look
down the pages of history and you
will find this to be true. Big armies
are dangerous, and small armies are
a protection. The nations who have
supported the largest armies have
had the least peace and the most
wars, and the nations possessing the
smallest armies have had the most
peace and the least amount of war
fare. In one instance of history 300,
--000 men lost their lives over a slight!
matter of courtesy. j
"We have become wiser on hun
dreds of subjects, but this one ques
tion of warfare we scarcely know any
thing about. We have applied reason
and law to thousands of intricate
questions, but very little sane think
ing has been applied,to the settling
of international differences by ar

bitratlon. Powder, guns and battle
ships must be done away. with, and
reason and law applied to this big
question. ;>yr
"Thirty-nine per cent of our wars
have been over disputes on boundary
lines. The day is dawning and we are
turning thought and eye to higher
things. Millions of men in Europe
have been taken from factories and
fields to do service in the armies.
Women have been forced to take
their places in the grind of the fac
tory, and in gathering the crops of
the fields. While traveling in Europe,
I saw a woman hitched to a cart with
a dog. I would have known that I
was in a foreign country If there was
no other way of telling, from this
incident.
"We have had seventy-five years or
I more of seed-sowing. Our statesmen j
, are not planters of the seed; they
. simply crystalize the sentiment of
i public opinion Into laws. Let me men
i tion a few things about the harvest.
"In 1899, the first Hague Peace
Conference was called by the Czar of
Russia. One hundred men, represent
ed over twelve hundred millions of
people. This was an epoch in his
tory, a court Instead of a battle to set- j
tle International disputes. Their do
ings was a suggestion to every ruler
whoso kingdom was represented.
Public opinion was moulded along
the right lines. The business men of
the world have passed resolutions
supporting arbitration as a just way
of settling disputes. Obligatory arbi
tration has been taken up and na
tions have agreed not to fight during
a stated period, but settle their con
tentions by arbitration.
"One hundred treaties have been
made, and thirty-five capitals of the
world are represented in these treat
ies, thirty-five nations are bound to
gether in a world-wide peace move
■ ment. What Is the use, then of tax
ing the people exorbitantly, and us
i ing hundreds of millions of dollars
to build battle ships and then let
them rot upon the high seas?
"By a three-fourths vote, later, the
Hague Tribunal determined that a
I general treaty to be effective among
| all nations should be passed around
; among the nations, and all sign. This
j would mean that every nation would
I agree not to fight any other nation.
"The effect has been that this body
has become an international law-mak
ing body, and until this time, al
though we have heard of international
law, there has never been any agree
ment existing between nations cov
ering international questions. This
conference has drawn up 13 conven-
tlons, which in effect are rules gov
erning international law.
\ "We will have a general treaty la
which even questions of international
honor will be referred to arbitrstloi
Public sentiment, mightier than arm
ies, will force, the issue. Will you
lend your assistance?"

SLAGLE FAVORS
COMMISSION FORM
1 (Continued from First Page.) |]
citizens didn't do their duty? The
citizen's privileges of exercising their
duty have heretofore stopped until
the next election, when they had
chosen on election day their repre
sentative to administer the law, but
under the new form the citizen's
privileges to perform their duty only
begins when they have elected their
officers. Theirs is the right to have
matters of public concern referred
back to them before final passage,
and the right to demand the passage
of a law originating with the people;
also the right to expel on recall from
office their commissioners for in
ability or misconduct without wait
ing for the expiration of their term
of office.
The second objection was, "the
commission form of government in
places the size of Pullman has not
yet passed the experimental stage.
and the financial condition of this
city does not justify any experiments
at a minimum cost of $1000 a year."
Are we to wait for other towns
to prove what has already been
proven in larger cities to be the most
economical and satisfactory method
of municipal government, or may we
proceed to set an example for other
towns to follow? Is not this the
phychological moment for consider
ing such an important question?
Must we lose this opportunity simply
because other towns are yet in the
experimental stage? If our financial
condition is impaired what is a bet
ter reason for seeking a change
promising Improvement, a change
that would make Impossible the re
fusal of our legislative body the
amicable settlement by the payment
of a few hundred dollars of a dam
age claim against our city whereby
judgment is now imposed upon the
town of Pullman to pay a sum aggre
gating almost $3000.
If the refusal to settle that case
had been the wish of the citizens
the responsibility for the judgment
would have been theirs, and think
you not that would now be a relief to
the council?
The third reason was "a very
grave doubt if as good men could
be induced to serve as commission
ers for the paltry salaries allowed
as could be secured to serve on the
council without pay." .
If good men are willing to serve
without pay. why wouldn't they
serve with pay? What is there in
a councilman's office without pay
more attractive for good men than a
commissioner's office with pay?
The editorial says "the people are
the power back of the council, and
would be the power hack of the com
missioners." In order "to assume
their civic responsibility and exer
cise their power" they must have
the privileges given them under the
law permitting commission form of
government. The proposition then is
this, do we, the people of Pullman,
wish to place the management of our
municipal affairs in the hands of
three men for three years, who shall
be elected at large, every voter vot
ing for his choice of three men from
all the candidates, whose duties will
be divided into departments and
each one held strictly accountable
for the good conduct of his depart
ment and the three commissioners
responsible for the whole, whose
official acts are subject to the will
of the citizens at all times under
conditions prescribed by the law,
even to their recall before the expira
tion of their term; or do we wish
to continue under the present form
by electing the mayor and one coun
cilman at large and two councilmen
from each of three wards, who are
the choice of only the voters in their
respective wards, whose duties are
collective, their responsibility dele
gated to committees or even to em
ployes and whose official acts are
only subject to criticism without
power on the part of citizens to cor
rect? Which do we wish? Its up
to the people to decide and the solu
tion is by our votes.
No person can become a candidate
for commissioner without first filing
a petition of candidacy with the city
clerk within 25 days after the adop
tion of the method, said petition
containing at least 100 signatures of
qualified electors.

Vesper Services
The opening vesper service of the'
season was held Sunday afternoon
at the usual hour, 4:00 o'clock. The

Gluck. organ Dr. Evans
Fear Ye Not, Oh Isreal, by Dudly
Buck, vocal solo ..Mrs. X.Strong

in store; if you have been once you
