PEACE DEPENDS ON PRESS OF NATIONS Declares William G. Deming in Address Before Mohonk Conference.

- (National News Association) LAKE MOIIONK. N. Y., May 17. In his address before the delegates to the eighteenth annual meeting of the Lake Mohonk Conference on Interna- j tlonal Arbitration, William G. Deming, of Cheyenne, declared today that the j success of the "movement for international peace was condition on the support of the press of different nations. The time has come, he said, when it has become " the plain duty of the press to take more than a business interest in the movement for the abolition of war. " Mr. Deming said in part: "Acting in unison, with high and patriotic purpose, the newspapers and magazines by systematic and persistent effort can place the United States in the vanguard of nations ready, anxious and willing to discard the barbarisms of war. What Press Can Do. "They can create a sentiment within twelve months which will force congress to invite every civilized nation on the globe to become an irrevocable party to an international court, that will settle every difference which can possibly arise between nations including all questions of honor, and thereby reduce the armaments of the world to a mere police footing. "The press of the nation has not only a great positive, duty in the premises, but Its failure w 'neglect to sieze the opportunity is nothing less than criminal. . - "Learned lawyers of the United States Senate may quibble over Sen ate prerogatives as to the treaty making power; Jingo statesmen and capitalistic newspapers may create bogie questions of honor Over which to throw nations into the horrors of war, but the simple fact remains that the powers of earth can proclaim and establish a permanent . peace and it is the duty of the press of the world to see that they do it. "It is needless to tell this learned assembly of the enormous demand militarism makes upon the resources of the country. "For more than thirty years the United States has expended for the creation and maintenance of armies and navies, for pensions and interest upon war debts, seventy-two per cent of its revenues, while only twenty eight per cent has been ussd for the administration and maintenance of civil affairs. "These figures are the severest indictment of our natonal intelligence, and yet it is within the power of the press to say to Congress; 'Thus far and no Farther Shalt Thou Go." "The press should await no psychological moment. No miracle will transpire. We should go forth by. the light we have and with the homely weapons at hand."

Wallace of California, chairman of the committee on the state of the church, was not in sym pathy with the majority report that favored the retention of the discipline but has joined with the minority and urges that the restriction be removed. He called upon Robert Warner of Idaho to speak in behalf of the majority report for the committee. Dr. W. O. Shepard, superintendent of the Chicago district, swung into first place on the third ballot for bishop cast by the General Conference of the M.

MARION. O.. May IS. Theodore Roosevelt spoke here for twentymlnutes this morning.

The Colonel found an audience of 5,000 persons awaiting him and no platform from which to address I them. In a characteristic manner he shinned up the ladder of a box car and made his talk. He did not proceed however until his stenographer was comfortably seated on a brakebeam. He referred to the demolished platform as one not like the one on which he is campaigning, and said that his planks were more substantial. Although the Colonel said nothing that was really new, he was liberally applauded. A RAILROAD FINED (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. May 18.
