In the Youth’s Companion for De cember 22d is a most interesting review of the “peace movement.” It is but little more than a century since John Jay's effigy was burned in the streets, as one result of his drawing up an arbitration treaty with Great Britain. Today arbitration is the fashion, thanks to courageous men who have maintained, in and out of season, that wars between nations are, as Lord Lansdowne, the British Foreign Secretary, observed the other, day. “the most futile and ferocious of human follies."

Friends and jonrtrymen are invited to inspect it, the nature of wt ich we are not privileged to describe. An exchange we says, twenty i years hence the boys of today will be men. They will be the doctors, lawyers, liars, senators, sneak thieves, editors, idiots, ministers, niurde rers, democrats and republicans, and so on down the line. It is impossible to tell to a certainty in just what class your boy will be, but it is possible for your boy to be put into such influence that will steer him in the right direction. Follow the boys of t welve years, and in twenty years some of them will be in congress while others will be following other vocations.
