SEDALIA, MO tion of President Taft as conveyed In a special message, tho, senate adopted a joint resolution nullifying the action, of the constitutional con vention at New. Mexico In fixing the 103d meridian of longitude as the eastern boundary of that prospective state. It also gives the president power, In conjunction with Texas, to re-establish tho lines run by J. H. Clark In 1858 as the true boundary between New Mexico and Texas. The dispute is of long duration and grows out of an error made by Clark in making the 103d meridian. It was Intended this meridian should consti tute the dividing line, as he placed it west of where it should have oeen. National authorities, as well as those of Texas, accepted it as accurate, but New Mexico contended for tho more eastern tracing, AN IDEAL GIFT BOOK MR.

Ralston, our agent at The Hague: Let it not be said that I am inappreciative of the dignity of war and of the importance of the causes leading up to It. War has no dignity. It offers a tragedy and a farce. With the" tragic ele ment we are all too familiar. With the farce of it all we are less fa miliar) for it is one of' those obvious things so obvious and so accus tomed that, like the movement of the. earth around tho sun", eons of time pass by without its realization. What can be more farcial than that human beings should be dressed up in gold lace and waving plumes to go forth to slay other human beings in waving plumes and gold lace. Why should bearskin shakos to be used to add ferocity to their ensemble? Why should the common people, whose interest in the matter is nil, make themselves food for powder, all for the benefit of the few whose tinsel decorations blind their own eyes and those of the beholders? And why should paTents who love their off spring rush into opportunities of be queathing to them legacies of na tional poverty and debt as the result of a display of passion on the part of the fathers? And when all this is the work of sentiment human be ings, may we not wonder over their effrontery in speaking of themselves as reasoning creatures? Are nations so rushing into conflict wiser than the mad bull in the arena that- with lowered head -dashes upon the sword of the matador? ,May we not con ceive of a real philosopher looking down with, wondering and puzzled contempt and amazement ,at our bloody antics-over baubles? For as vet we are but children nnd have the ways of children. Between the childish disputes, "It is," "it isn't,1 or "I want to swing," "No, I won't let you swinfc." and the avAr- age difference between nations lead ing to war, there is in essence no dis tinction nothing save the age and number of the disputants and the consequent variance in the objects which interest them. Relatively, the contest is unchanged, and equally It should be adjusted without killing ana witnout tne slow sapping away of lifo through taxation. But if you tell me that such doc trines as I have tried to set out are opposed to patriotism, let me say to you that patriotism' is not a fixed, but a growing term. When the first Eng lishmen planted themselves on the, borders of Massachusetts Bay, their patriotism was bounded, by the fringes of woods concealing Indian enemies. Later it meant, a nnnHni sense of duty to those within the widening boundaries of the" province. Yet a few years, and with the birth of a new nation, all who lived within the bounds of the thirteen original states were recognized as their broth ers. Then, by leaps and bounds, it came to pass that the teeming mil lions of human beings from thtf At lantic to the Pacific represented the solidarity of the .country, and all were recognized as brothers under a common flag, and between such brothers war was a crime, and all troubles to be determined in a peace ful manner. But one step is left. We have to reorganize the brotherhood of the human race and the infinite crime of blopdy contests between members of a- common family. When the day of such recognition arriyes we shall love our immediate neighbors no less, and for them reserve the special offices that our finite strength limits us to giving to the relatively few, while the narrower features of the patriotism of today will b swallowed up in a. V broad .consideration of th'e rights of, huirianity, and all men will be .broth ers.
