ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF PEACE.
THE world talks much about tho limitation of arma
ments and docs little
Yet it is not a new idea. Wo shall soon celebrate
the centenary of; such a limitation tho arrangement re
stricting United States and Canadian armament on the
Great Lakes to 400 tons and four 18-pounders. The cele
bration had its inspiration in a reference made by Earl
Grey at the Peace Conference in New York, in April,
3907, to tho approaching centenary of peace along tho
Canadian border.
At the Molionk Peace Conference recently Mackenzie
King, Canadian Minister of Labor, suggested that there
be erected at Niagara an enduring memorial of this Hun
dred Years of Peace.
It is an admirable sucrcrcstiou. A memorial should'
be reared. It should be of such a character that all the
world might read its story of forbearance and common
sense.

At last wo have the reason for the high cost of living.
Congress has tackled the question and so have many
states and commercial bodies. It remained for a com
mittee of solons from the Massachusetts state legislature,
however, to give us the real reason for the increased cost
of foodstuffs. They have given us the result of their in
vestigations in a ponderous report of seven hundred pages
in which the.v finally declare that the nrimary cause of
high prices is the increase in the gold supply.
You never would have believed it, would you? Of
course, you naturallv feel in vour pockets to discover the
increased supply of gold and you soon make up your mind
that the other fellow has it. You will also conclude
after mature deliberation that it is a far cry from the con
clusions of political economists to the real causes that
lie behind the increased cost of living. One does not
need to be a great political economist to see that the real
cause may be found in decreased supply and increased
demand. If there are not enough apples to go round,
those who want them will have to pay more for them.
The same principle applies to all food products.
As Secretary Wilson has said, the remedy is in "a
return to the farm and the simple life." We cannot all
go back to the farm. Most of us wouldn't know what to
do if we did go back to the farm. But we can all go back
to tne simple liie. .Fortunately it is the time of year when
we can cut out heavy meats and rich wastries without
suffering any hardship. Green vegetables, fresh fruits
and shredded wheat furnish a simple and inexpensive
diet that is more healthful and more nourishing than meat

Captain Goodall, now residing nt
Kanaka Flat, near Jacksonville, may
be esteemed a credible witness, as
ho lived in Yrekn in 1852, and was
intimate with the most of the mem
bers of tho Ben Wright expedition,
particularly with the leader. It is
reasonable to suppose that he was
in Wright's confidence, as he was in
strumental in sending out the party
and was the more apt to know with
certainty concerning it, us he nlso
was an Indian fighter of experi
ence. Tho captain says: "Bon
Wright had several pow-wows with
them, .and when nt length it was
found necessary to olo9e the cam
paign on account of approaching
winter nnd snow, a final talk was
had, in which a beef was killed nnd
well dosed with strychnine, which I
bought in Yrekn and sent out to
Wright. This was given them and
by them eaten half raw. But tho
plan failed of killing ull of them off,
for the heat of the fire deprived the
poison of its strength. However, it
was successful thus far that it mado
them all very sick with tho "jerks,"
and actually killed five of them- -that
is, made good Indians of them,
or, in other phrase, "sunned their
moccasins."
Captain Wright and company wore
discharged at Yreka, their muster-
rolls and accounts mado out bv
Captain Goodall, and they wore duly
paid by tho state in scrip, and after
wards by tho United States in
greenbacks.
This is one, and an apparently
fair versjon. Next comes tho more
commonly accepted, but very im
probable ono, of Wright's having
poisoned 40 Mbdocs, thus annihilat
ing the whole band with the excep
tion, some say, of two who slipped
out of camp just boforo tho feast of
poisoned moat began. Several writ
ers havo adopted this tale, for ex
ample, A, B. Meacham, in his ridic
ulous book, "Wigwam and Warpath."
It will be seen that the above stories
differ only ns to the number of In
dians killed, which would nnturnlly
be exaggerated as time went on.
Hence, ns between the two, we must
incline to that of Captain Goodall.
Wright, it is said, persistently denied
tho story; not probably from any
deference to refined people's feelings,
and certainly not from any desire to
screen himself from any mensuro of
obloquy, for ho was probably very
far from caring for anybody's opin
ion. . Finally, wo shall consider tho ac
count published in tho History of
Siskiyou county in 1881. This ac
count, evidently prepnred with great
pains and unlimited attention to ac
curacy of details, was written to bo
rend by people who might bo pre
sumed to know a great deal concern
ing tho matter. Thus far, wo boliovc,
it bus escaped adverse criticism,
which, in tho ovent of error, it would
bo nearly certain to meet. A synop
sis of the account is as follews:
Negotiations being in progress
word was sent to tho Modocs to come
in nnd feast. Tho camp was on Lost
river, and the Jndinns, who speedily
came in, camped near by and on the
bnnk of tho river, both camps being
about one-fourth of a milo above tho
natural bridge and not far from tho
spot whoro Captnin Jack and the
troops first fought, usherincr in tlm
Modoc war of 1873. Some half hun
dred braves, with thoir squnws, mado
their homo in camp and lived upon
tho provisions of the whites. Old
Schonchin, head chief, foreseeing
trouble, left tho camp, as did others.
It appears to havo been Wright's in
tention from tho first to endeavor to
got the Indians to restore the valu
ables thoy were thought to havo
stolen from immigrants, and then to
