Hale, Vice President of the Panama-Pacific Interna' tional Exposition, Who First Suggested the Holding of the Great Exposition to Celebrate the Opening of the Panama Canal. THE following Interesting article by It. U. Unle, vice president of the I'uunnm raclllc luternatioual ExpoHttion of Sun Francisco, expressea the keynote of this greatest nud most wonderful celebration of all time Mr. IIulo Is one of the foremost public men of America, and his thoughtful article shows a marvelous grasp of the sub ject and will prove of value nud Inter est to every reader of this paper. Most Interesting In History. The rannnia-Paoidc International Ex position, wbich la now finished, stands revealed as the most Interesting Expo sition iu history. Those who have not yet visited the Exposition should make early plans to visit Bau Francisco. The R. B. HALB. rnllroadg are granting .low ronnd trip rntos, and one can see the United States under more favorable conditions tlinn have ever before obtained. For ty-three nations are participating In the ExpoMltlou upon a vast scale. Road Mr. Hale's wonderful article and you will gain nn Idea of the purpose that Inspired the builders of the Panama Pncltle International Exposition. He says: Universal expositions, of which the rnnnma-Pnclflc International Exposi tion Is the fourth In the United States, have nhvnys stood for pence. In Phil adelphia In 1ST0 the Hon. Joseph R. Hawley, president of the Centennial Exposition, In his opening remarks said: "From the association here of welcome I .'.afC a . i . .. i tlKltors from aU nations tbcre may re sult uot alone great benefits to Inven tion, manufactnre. agriculture, trade and commerce, but also stronger Inter national friendship nud more lasting pence." . "Acquaintance Softens Prejudice." ' "Acquaintance softens prejudice" has been tinging lu my ears ever since those three words were Uttered by a foreign" graduate of oue of our Ameri can universities In a speech delivered some years ago. The learned states man, lion. Ellbu Root, voiced the same sentiment wlicu about to leave the high olDce of secretary of state In sub stantially these words: "It were Impos sible for any nation to be nt war If the peoples pf the conflicting countries un derstood each other." Vuiversnl expositions soften preju dices, remove commercial antipathies and settle political differences by bringing the people of all nations luto friendly Intercourse for the discussion of Ideas, the exchange of commodities and for the advancement of mankind socially, morally, Intellectually and commercially. They retiect the thought and action of pencefu'. pursuits and reach their greatest successes during or following long periods of national and tutcrnatloaal peace. Their exhib its are the product of the arts of peace, and their object is the promotion of peaceful nctlvlty lu thought and word and deed. They are the antithesis of war, the embodiment of pence. Their grounds nre set apart as extraterri torial, devoted to the use of all nations and all peoples on n parity and equali ty. The rannmn-Pacific International Exposition grounds today are common to all. No creed or race Is barred; all have equal rights and privileges. It Is neutral ground for warring or tranquil nations alike, it Is one Brent democ racy where all' unite In contributing to an expression of gratitude for the pres ent and inspiration for the future, and because the exposition Is really the child of peace do we deem' it a priv ilegeaye, even a duty to enter our protest against' the terrible conditions now prevailing In Europe. "Peace Keace For Humanity, It is Idle to presume 'hat anything that we can do here today will have any material influence in the immedi ate settlement of the greatest war in history, Involving more than half the people of the civilised world, but we can raise our voices In earnest protest against conditions In Europe too terri ble to contemplnte In loss of life, In the destruction of property, lu the sutler Ing of homeless women and children and In the effect upon the world at large. Commercial nctlvlty is checked, industries are paralyzed, civilisation is being forced backward, human im pulses nre being supplanted by the bru. tnl practices of war. The cries of the Innocent have sounded a call for relief, and with dynamic force that call is generating a sentiment through the length mid breadth of ttia country for peace. Every one seems sobered and serious and determined. That one word tins taken on a new significance, a new meaning pence peace for hu manity, peace to pursue the upward and onward course of civilization, peace and rest and truuquilllty for the mil lions who suffer, suffering in spirit as those unfortunate soldiers are suffering In body, royalty and subject together In the present awful European con flict They desire a cessation forever of the super-cruel methods of warfare as a means of settlement of interna tional contention. . .... . Each closing day hope look forward to the morning, longing that word shall come that our brothers in Europe shall have laid aside their arms. That glo rious day must come, and when it does will It not be possible to respond to the world's wall that the sword of anger and of bate be sheathed forever? Tben shall come the time for international convention and treaty.' Great states men will be engaged In negotiating the tremendous document Speaking out of Inexperience and from afar among myriad minds, we ourselves hope that In this treaty there shall be established such a basis of defense on land as Is alone necessary to protect local peace and that such armed ships as are nec essary to police the sea shall alone be permitted, each nation contributing Its quota to this Internntlonnl naval police, which shall be controlled in Its move ments by an Internntlonnl admiralty, whose whole duty shall be to preserve peace Instead of prepare for war. Site of Peace Conference. The Exposition In San Francisco will have reached Its highest purpose if It can In any way assist In the settle ment of the terrific conflict which Is now being waged with such titanic fierceness, hellish weapons and awful consequences. The Exposition being set apart on extraterritorial grounds. Rich Ornamentation In Court of Abun dance at San Francisco. View showing section of colonnnoes. Court of Abundance, Panama-Pacific International Exposition, Snn Francisco. The lavish oriental embellishments of his court ure well portrayed In this photograph. , ;, dedicated to the use of all nations on, terms of equality, could fittingly, with out prejudice - or embarrassment, be used for a peace conference designed to settle the differences of the warring nations and bring about the signing of a treaty of peace for which the world Is praying. r 1 J New Cycle ef Brotherly Love. 1 Oue effect of the war now in prog ress will be to emphasize the impor tance of and intensify the interest in the great international peace congress) projected by the management of the Exposition. Let us hope that this war may be recorded history before this congress convenes. The horrors of present day warfare will then be fully appreciated, and those most directly affected may be available with their experience and advice to assist In pre paring a code of international law and police power and provide such other recommendations as may be best fit ted to uisuro lasting pence. And when we look Into the future may we find the new cycle of brotherly love superseding the discord of today. May the settlement of International strife by war aud blood and suffering and devastation be supplanted by con ference aud negotiation aud arbitra tion; then will follow rest and peace and contentment for the everlasting enjoyment of mankind. As John O. Wbittler beautifully expressed It la his Centennial hymn In 18T6: Oh. make thou us through centuries long In peace secure. In Justice strong; Around our Kift of freedom draw The safeguards of thy righteous law. And, cast In some diviner mold. Let the new cycle shame the old.
