Movement for International Peace
Tho presence in Denver of a largo
number of tho delegates who have boon
Jin attendance upon iho Worlu's iair
session of the Interparliamentary
union is causo for general congratula
tion. This meeting will bo followed by
tho thirteenth annual session of tho
international Peaco socity in Bo3ton,
Octobor 3-7, tho notable peaco congress
for which Boston and the American
Peaco society have been long prepar
ing. Tho organizations are much akin,
tho Interparliamentary union being
composed of such peace workers as are
members of the various legislative
bodies of tho nations represented. Tho
society to meet in Boston next month
includes these and a multitude of hu
manitarians, not members of parlia
ments or congresses. Tho visit to Den
ver is a part of tho American trip
planned to employ tho visitors between
tho sessions of tho two notable gather
ings. Bcforo October 3 there will be
timo for a bird's-eye view of the great
American republic. Tho influential
character of these guests inaltes it
quite fitting that the utmost pains
should bo tahon to give some adequate
idea of Colorado and of Denver. A
city is peculiarly honored in the en
tertainment of nien and women who
aro not only intelligent and influential
but public-spirited world helpers.
This organization has been Lite most
distinctly influential forco in exlstenco
tor the furtherance of international ar
bitration. This may be stated with a
sense of authority from tho fact that
Its founder, William Ralph Cromer,
was chosen by tho Norwegian Noebel
committee as tho ono most worthy to
receive the first prize to be given bi
ennially for the greatest service in
the cause of International peace. These
prizes aro given only upon tho most
judicious consideration, and the de
termining factor in this caso was no
doubt tho fact that The Hague tribu
nal was planned by tho Interparlia
mentary union several years before the
czar took up the idea. In 1894, at a
conference of the union held In Hol
land, a declaration was made in favor
of a permanent court of arbitration,
and subsequently a commission of six
members, appointed at that time, sub
mitted a' well-developed plan for such
a court. This was a gain of five years
in the preliminary work for the great
Hague conference. Its -perpetual agi
tation has, with that of similar organ
izations, still further aided the move
ment by keeping back of it a steadily
increasing public sentiment.
The Hon. Richard Bartholdt, chair-i
man of the joint committee of ilia sen
ate and house for receiving tho par
liamentarians, gave out an interview
in which he said that the conference at
St. Louis would be asked to pass a
resolution requesting tho president ot
the United States to invite all other
nations to send delegates to a con
ference, empowered to negotiate ar
bitration treaties, and to discuss tho
creation of a congress of nations.
Mr. Bartholdt gave cogent reasons
why tho United States should bo the
nation to take the initiative in thus
perfecting, in its likeness, tho existing
union of nations, and why the meeting
of this conference at St. Louia is the
critical timo for practical action in
this direction. .
Such action, we understand, Wa
taken substantially during the i
Louis meeting and if results in ac
cordance with the plans follow, his"
tory will have few more crucial events
to record.

members from the chamber of dep

man can do for the practical pea"
among nations is inestimable. Tho
fact of this organization alone would

agoons will disappear, and tho great Exposition will become a thing of the past.
It is thoreforo a wise precaution to. provide for their permanent preservation in
