"I sond to all brothers and friends
of union labor tho world over my

with tho assurance that thoro is no

fonso has boon afforded."
A Boston dispatch, carried by tho

At the peace congress at Baltimore
Brice Collier, who recently returned
from a yeaT of travel in India, China,
Japan, Manchuria, Siberia and Rus
sia, addressed tho congress on the
topic, "What Are We Doing for
Peace In the Far East?"
One of the great causes of Inter
national distrust, he said, was ignor

knowing one another better. The
greatest peril to peace today is not
brown, nor yellow; it is white. It
is white ignorance, white prejudice,

Mr. Collier deprecated the possi

that country would, have her hands
full for many years to come develop
ing her interests in Formosa, Korea
and Manchuria.
Ho continued:
"We are nowadays and a woeful
blunder it is permitting our diplo
matic representatives to take active
part in the selling of foods and the
setting, of contracts. It is considered
a feather in a diplomat's cap if he
succeeds in getting the contraot for
the building of a gunboat. I con
sider such activity a disgrace to him
and a disgrace to the country that
employs him. No wonder other na

Charles F. Thwing, president of
the Western Reserve University,
delivered an address before the na
tional peace congress at Baltimore, in
which ho said:
"The value of the grounds of 500
colleges and universities in this
country was estimated at $67,000,
000, of the buildings $219,000,000
and the productive funds $260,000,
000. The cost of 38 battleships
which he named, was $236,551,438.
The cost of maintainlm? fhnso i.
Ing 1910 was in excess of $24,000,
000. The entire income of all the
colleges in the United States during
1910 was about $25,000,000.
"In other words when one takes
into view the depreciation of the
battleship or armored p.rninm ii
entire cost of 38 battleships for a
single year is greater than the .ad
ministration of tho entire American
system of higher education.
"The money which is thus wasted
on naval armament would put the
cause of the higher education of
America upon a moBt efficient basis."
An Associated Press dispatch from
Columbus O., says: "Three state
senators and ixun von,.nni.n
were included in bribery indictments
uy mo a' milium county grand jury
which has been engaged in investi
gating corruption in. the assembly.
Tho senators are:
"Isaac E. Huffman of Butler
county, L-. R. Andrews, Lawrence
county; George K. Cetone, Mont
gomery county. Tho representatives
are: Dr. George B. Nye of Pike
county and A. C. Lowry of Lawrence
county. . Ono indictment was re
turned against each charging the
solicitation of bribes.
"In addition Rodney J. Diegle of
JSrie county, sergeant-at-arms in the
senate and allege.01 go-between with
senators, was indicted with the sena
tors for aiding and abetting the
bribe solicitation.
"All six appeared at tho court
house soon after the bills were re
turned. They were accompanied by
Attorney John A. Connor and fur
nished bonds at once.
"Three detectives, F. C. Harrison,
A. C. Bailey and David H. Berry,
who allege they trapped the legisla
tors in the bribery deal and who
were arrested last week at the in
stance of Nye, were bound over, but
the grand jury returned 'no bills' in
their cases. They will be the princi
pal witnesses at the trials of the
assemblymen and Diegle.
"It is announced that although
the April term of .court does not run
many weeks longer, adjournment
will not be taken until the bribery
trials are disposed of. Meanwhile
the grand jury will continue its in
vestigation. "Detective Burns the other day
spent most of his time in the office
of Prosecutor Turner questioning
grand jury witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms
Diegle was summoned and his
presence there led to reports that
immunity had been offered him for.
