THE HAGUE COURT PRAISED Hebraskan .Makes an "Address at Banquet Given by New York Ho! Jand Society Roosevelt Sends His Regrets. XEW YORK, Jan. 2L More than 400 members and guests of the Holland So ciety of New York tonight attended an an nual dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria. The toasts included: "Peace," "William J. Bryan; "Holland, Our Ally in the Revo lution," Rev. George C. Lo rimer; "The Friendly Relations of the Dutch "With Other Nations," Sir Chentung Uang Cheng; "Our Hero Ancestors," James M. Beck, President Roosevelt sent the fol lowing letter: "I wish I could be present at the dinner of the Holland Society, Naturally I take particular Interest in It; but it simply is not possible for me to make another en gagement of any kind this "Winter. "With hearty good wishes and express ing my regrets that I am not with you fellow-Dutchmen of New York on this occasion." Mr. Bryan was received with cheers. He referred to the Boers, and said that one lesson taught by the war they had fought with England was that conquest was ex pensive, and he did not think any nation would again try to take territory from any republic. The speaker then went on to say: "Since my visit to the Netherlands, my thoughts have been dwelling much upon the Important part that little nation seems destined to take in the movement that has fpr its object the substitution of reason for "force in the settlement of differences be tween nations. We must not expect all armies to be disbanded at once, or look for the immediate settlement of all ques tions by arbitration. The Peace Confer ence was, by invitation of the Emperor of Russia, convened at The Hague. It revealed the fact that society Is at last approaching the point where conscience will assert Its supremacy over bruto in stinct "The evils which afflict the body pplltlc are not duo to the extraordinary develop ment of the material forces of the world but to tho fact that the moral sense-has not always kept pace with industrial ex pansion. But there is an awakening at hand. In the United States, In England, in France, In Russia, everywhere, there Is an increasing group of those who are looking up to a higher ideal, who insist that a physical combat between men is as powerless as a fight between wild animals to determine the right or wrong of any proposition. They fear that even intel lect, unless warmed and vitalized by a belief In .the brotherhood of man, may go Jar astray. "It is not on the plutocracy of wealth or on the aristocracy of learning, but on tho democracy of tho heart, that the hope of universal arbitration and permanent peace must rest. Today an increasing number of people throughout the world, standing on the heights, are learning that God is not in the ironclads or in the armies, but in the still small voice of jus tice that issues from tribunals like that recently Instituted at The Hague." POLITICS SHOULD NOT ENTER IN V' FalrbankB Discusses the' Importance of the Panama Canal. NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 21. At a banquet of the Board of Trade tonight Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, in discussing the subject of an isthmian canal, said among other things: "Tho subject is a largo one. It Is es sentlally American. It should take on no partisan color, for all parties are sub stantially committed to an Interoceanlc canal. Such differences as exist are in respect to details, and not In the general policy. The proprieties clearly forbid that I should enter upon those features which are the subject of some party division. "I have no doubt that we shall be able. In good time, to adjust our disagreements, and at no distant day go forward with tho work and carry it to completion. Dif ferences will finally disappear and be for gotten, and in due time we shall have the canal, through which, will pass tho com merce of tho world for centuries to come. We are building not alone for today, but for the ages. Delays may seem vexa tious, but they are of little consequence whon compared with the magnitude of the undertaking. We may well believo that the canal will outlive the pyramids." In advocating a merchant marine he said: "Our greatest need at tho moment is a merchant marine. Our subordinate place in the world upon the high seas Is a ehame and humiliation. Why should we not take our place among the leading na tions in carrying International commerce 7 What has become of our Yankee pluck and resourcefulness? Jtfpon the vast bos om of the Pacific Ocean there arc but four merchantmen bearing American register and carrying the American flag. We have long sougfit to extend our commerce in tho countries south of us, but ships bear ing alien flags most frequently visit the ports of those countries In whose Interest as well as our own the Monroe Doctrine was promulgated and is now maintained. I believe I but express a dominant wish when I suggest that we should have a merchant marine which will carry our flag into all of the ports of the world, not as a mere matter of sentiment, but because our highest and best Interests Imperatively demand it."
