CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSElt fEIt, OCTOBER 4, 1DC3. By EuphemU ; HoMen, secretary to tha executive committee of the North Carolina Arbitration and, Peace Con- greaa. . i: x -. . J The peace sentiment has 7 always existed and la almost every agre it haa fonad a yoloe. The day wtH come when the ; Christian ideal will come ' tsed, end a perfect, permanent peace ' exist between man and man and na tion and nation. Until that idea-is , demonstrated, however, it will be nec essary t adopt methods which may be- sailed "suffer-lt-to-be-ao-now." The most practical efforts to establish aa Intermediate peace are those made ' to bring about the substitution of ar- - titration for war in the settlement of ' disputes between nations. , A. short tine ago In En t land there passed away a man who is responsible i for much of the good work that has been done along those lines In the ' last twenty years. He was a work in man, a carpenter, and he always remained a working man. Tet for many years be occupied a seat In the ' Hoase of Commons and accomplished thing of immeasurable Importance. He received the Kobe peace prise of ' 44.000 for his services In the cause f peace, a sum which he promptly gave to the International Arbitration league of which he was the founder.. He was also aiTen the Cross of the jLegloa of Honor through President Carnot, of the French republic. - When King- Edward of England wish ed to confer upon him the Order of ' Knighthood he refused because It went mraJnst his principles to exchange his plain loose clothes, bright red necktie and soft hat for the sword and fancy costnme required by court etiquette, i Bo desirous was the King, however. I to ooner honor upon this Independent ettteen that arrangements were made by which he was permitted to ap pear in ordinary clothes, and he be came Mr William Randal Cremer. In 1550 when Cremer was 25 years , old be went through a lockout which Involved 100,000 men. At that time he made up his mind that war. either Industrial, civil or International, was taadnesa He spent two decades or ganising unions among British work ing men and- strengthening the senti ment for arbitration in Industrial mat ters. In 1185 he was sent to the House of Commons, one of the first werkingmen ever to enter its doors. Two years later Cremer appeared at Washington armed with a petition Signed by over two hundred members of Parliament, requesting the Presi dent and Congress of the United - States to conclude a treaty with Eng : land, stipulating that any differences er disputes arising between thi two nations. Which could not be adjusted by diplomatic agency, should be re ferred to arbitration. The conclusion of such a treaty,' aid the document, "would Ik1 a splendid example to those nations - who are wasting their resources In war-provoking Institutions and might induce other governments to join the peaceful compact." Mr Andrew Carnegie arranged the interview with Mr. Cleveland, and al though the reeults were only Indirect they cannot be adequately measured. In Paris nl 1888 Cremer met a small company of statesmen at a pri vate house. This conference, conslst- " Ing of nine members of the British and twenty-five members of the French Parliament, wag practically the first meeting of the Interparlia mentary Union, which is at this very time in session at Berlin, Oermany. It has grown to a body of over two thousand members, every one of whom Is an active member of a national parliament, in which, with most countries, there Is vested the right to make war or peace, and while H has no Official status It has been ' the most potent Influence in the peace movement. In subsequent years this Interparliamentary Union met at Borne. Budapest. Vienna, prussels. The Hague, Christiana, Berne. The rail of the first Hague conference by the Czar of Russia was the outcomn of these meetings. The results of the first Hague conference may be sum med up as: First the improvement Of the laws of war; second, the con stituting Of a permanent tribunal of arbitration which provides for medla- ; tloa during hostilities and for Investi gation of dlsputfd question of fact prior to the opening of hostilities. Scores of ca-es have already been adjudicated by this body 1(1 1904, by Invitation of the Ameri can delegates of the union, headed by Richard Bartholdt. Congressman from Missouri, the meeting was held at ; St Louis. A resolution was passed requesting the President of the unKel states to . call on all the other nations of the world , to send deletrates to, a second confer ence which shin. Id discuss. . tunong other questions, right andl duties of neutrals, the execution of ' arbitration treaties between nations, redaction of armaments, creation of . a permanent world's congress to sup plement the Hague Court. "Being : practical men," said the Hon. Richard Bartholdt. "the members of this con ference do not expect to abolish war it once, or at any time in an imprac- i Ileal way. But they do intend to take t suitable times the steps which will tend to abolish war. War between In dividuals was abolished by the de velopment of States. War between ; States was abolished by the formation : and development of a union of States, Just so war between nations will be abolished by the formation and de velopment of a union of nations. American States would be armed 1 : against each other to-day If they had not been organized Into the United States. Nations will arm against each 'other until they are all organised into . a . union of nations, rightly formed and rightly operated, with suitable legislative. Judicial and executive de- pertmeat.- A anion of nations' is al ready fa existence. The Hague Court being' Rs Judicial department. This -union eaa be perfected by the addi tion of a legislative department, limit ed In its authority to ' Internation al questions, lost as the authority Of the United States Congress is limited to . Interstate . questions, without . a eingle change la a single constitu tion '-of a single nation. Some day auch a world's eoagresa -will- be or-jranbwd.-end after its organization it will la due time acquire proper juris diction, end every nation will 'have due re presentation -4a tt,"-i-.v - ". s After the close 4of thl conference the , int"-c, -l.amenUry : party . was taken tot i:.cky mountains, wmiam J. Pryan j ...i.r It at Denver. At Mam moth, in thp i -rt of the Rock lea he tU-l!vred an uj ;rre whieh identified Mm thoroughly with the peace move saef.t. .';.' ,"- ' '' '1 ;,e party t!-n w nt to Washington i ! tn reci Wcfl Vy President Roose- - : who pretrt- i at an early date i t 'I the pr) 1 conference. The :i roaib-rs returned - their s dT'y jrr -5 -m4 with Iheeoun r- . f ' try and the power for good manifested by the American people. The invitations to a second General Assembly of the nations were issued in September, 1004. Not long after wards followed the Incident of the Russian fleet sailing for Japan, firing upon the unarmed Hull fisherman. For a time It seemed as though war between tho two nations was Inevit able, but M. Delcaese, France's for eign minister, acting under some of the principles laid down by the first Hague conference, steered both na tion toward a peaceful solution of their disputes. This was considered a great step in the arbitration movement. In regard to It one writer said: "Two individu als have a dispute and refer It to a court of law. Nations have disputes and fight. That law should become International in force and vigor and bring nations to its tribunal Is merely the development of the spirit of the law between individuals. The two first men who submitted their quarrel to the law did it voluntarily. Na tions must agree to do the same thing voluntarily, and then you have tne world's peace assured." In 1805 the Interparliamentary TTninn mt st Erussels. In 1900 at London, where Bryan w again one of the speakers, though not a member of the union. Because of The Hague conference in 1907 the annual meeting was omitted and this year it again is In session at Berlln- .J A Each year has marked a decided step forward and the discussions and resolutions emanating from that body have had a quiet but permanent effect upon the relations of nations. Russia's unwillingness to participate In the second Hague conference dur ing the war with Japan postponed that assembly for two years, and through President Roosevelt's courte sy the Invitations to It were ttnally is sued by the Czar. The Interval was used by all lovers of peace In stimu lating public sentiment and Interest In this world movement. In April. 1907. a national peace congress was held In New York City Just previous to the departure of the delegates to The Hague. The President of the congress was Mr. Andrew Carnegie, whose many services to the peace cause brought him at the close of ' the congress the French Cross of the Legion of Homer by the hands of Baron d'fcjstournellee At Constant, the most noted peace maker of France. Kar,v President Roosevelt was In hearty accord with the object of the congress and every Cabinet ofjlcer waj a vice president of It. More than forty thousand people attended Us various meeting, or whom two thousand were regularly appointed delegates from .thirty-nine State and Territories. The organi sations from which these delegates were sent included commercial bodies, labor unions, farmers granges. Churrh and other religious orgranliatlons. peace societies, ethical, reform and philanthropic societies, colleges, uni versities, learned, patriotic ind wo men's societies. The register of the congress and Its committees showed that there were enrolled among its membership and supporters two men who had been candidates for th pres idency of the United States, eight Cab inet offlcjj-s. ten United States Sena tors, nineteen members of the House of Representatives, four Justices of the Supreme Court, twelve State Chief Justices, nine State Governors, sixty New York editors, thirty labor lead ers, ten mayors, eighteen college and university presidents, twenty State Superintendents of Public Instruction and forty bishops. The second Hague conference con sisted of two hundred and forty-four members representing forty-four na tions. Of these members forty-two are now ent hunted with the highest diplomatic positions, twelve of them being ambassadors and thirty minis ters. In fact, all of the members were men of the highest order of in telligence and character, as the ap pointments in our own country go to prove. The conference lasted four months, and while many who do not appre ciate the immense difficulties involved In amalgamating such varieties of men. Ideas and Ideals were disap pointed in the actual results of this meeting, those who see the develop ment necessary before reaching Ten nyson's viion. "the parliament of man, the federation of the world," are satisfied that the outlook for universal peace and mutual understanding among nations was never so bright as to-day. The net results of the second con ference were the provision for the convening of the third conference within a time analogous to that which intervened between the first and second and for the appointment by the powers of a committee of ar rangements to assemble two years be fore the date of the third confer ence to prepare the programme; sec ond, the passage of the Porter prop usition providing that armed forces should not be used hereafter 1' the collection of contractual debts from a government, without first offering to submit ths claims to the Judgment of an International tribunal; third, the victory of the American principle of equal representation without regard to military power among nations par ticipating ip these world "assemblies. Although the proposal or obligatory arbitration and general treaties of arbitration were lost, a number of treaties was concluded between tht representatives of different nations at The Hague, and since the close of the conference a desen or more have been put Into actual operation between this and other countries. At the close of the second con ference Dr.. Ruy Barbosa, of Braiil, nttered-these memorable words: "But, in spite of -all things, the Authority, the utility, the .'necessity "of these as semblies, occurring. periodically here after for the promotion of, peace, btvs achieved for them an Irrevocable con quest. They cannot be prevented, frustrated -or replaced, - They are' an open door for all time, through which the. rights -of nations shall enter ef fectively into operation, . little by little." .; Numerous Individuals and unofficial societies are adding yearly to the edu cation and growth of.aubllc. sentiment as to ; the possibility ' . of -aecariai peaCefst settlement of national , dis rates; year by year, r also arisa new Instances 4 this, possibility., f . eAraerig the. peace societies," , which have had great- national and laterna tloaal -influence are the ' American Peace Society of Boston, thd ITaiversal Peace Union of Philadelphia, tho lake Mohankr -'Arbitration' 1 Conferences tfeaaded and conducted by Albert K.

U ,,- , i The purpose of this congress is "to unite the people of North Carolina upon the progressive propesela - ap proved by the second Hague confer ence and to concentrate thought upon those ideas which need to be popu larised prior to the third Hague con ference. Also to discover the true relation between arbitration and ar mament, so that national security wlU always exist through adequate arma ment until a reliable system of arbi tration furnishes an efficient substi tute." -;'.'.. This congress will take place la connection with the Greensboro cen tennial, October Jlth-Kth. Eminent speakers will be present and speak upon various -practical phases of the arbitration and peace movement. Every part of the State should be well represented In order to prove President Roosevelt's statement that "since the days of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence the coun try has looked to North Carolina for great Initiatives." FUR - BLARING ANIMALS IN NORTH CAROLINA BY II. U. BKJMLEY. ttnental regiments under thl name of "bear .-skins, 7-: -; TttM may dye,' you may work. the fur aa yea will, : .' ..i-',1- ' . - -- . But the scent of the varint will linger At least, many people would so"! Were this' . commodity sold ; under awn true name. - v-;, ' fpa Gray fox is one of the cheaper furs and not rated very highly,. Red fox ranks higher and Is often used natur al la boas and neck pieces. Its length and softness, combined with its warm color, make it a very pretty ornament, to my mind, but. the dyed furs of not so good a quality seem to be preferred by the buying public. , - 'Possum is another of the lower grades, the : fur being thin and pet particularly beautiful. It is usually dyed and plucked before polng on the market. Wildcat Is another fur, of only me dium value, but of this we. only pro duce a few annually. Last comes the cheapest of all per kin and that la our common cotton tall rabbit. Perhaps more individual pelts of this animal are shipped every year than these of any other species, but enost of them go into the manu facture of felt haw and not into furs. Fur production in North Carolina is by no means an Industry of any great importance, but there Is a great er -value of this class of commodity shipped out ef the State yearly than most people 'imagine. We do not have -any professional trappers, but many -"jner or farmer's boys, adds a few do)Mei to his - spending -money - by picking up a few mink, muskrat or pssnn. with, aa occasional otter. . 'pos sum or fox during the-winter months. It la a pity that the majority of such pelts are badly handled and da -hot bring tha trapper more than a third to a half tha money they would if properly prepared. And- it is little If any more trouble ta make a good pelt than it Is to- make a poor one. ' In the museum at Raleigh there U a collection of first-class native furs, showing tha styles - in which they should be, prepared for " market to bring the best returns. Nearly all Va rieties found tn the State are repre sented and in the collection are three otter pelts thai are extra tint in color, also-and quality. Other shown are mink, 'possum, coon, wildcat skunk, beardeer. gray f Ox and muskrat. FHTn Tf ' I - tVC'TTTP eVeae4reert er -V 1 Ui-L. iU m.

One does not usually associate North Carolina with fur production but, in reality, some very fine furs are produced here. Including all an imals that have a fur of commercial value we have Virginia deer, black bear, otter, beaver (very rare.) mink, coon, 'possum, skunk, muskrat, red fox. gray fox, wildcat and rabbit. Of these, by far the most valuable per skin, eliminating beaver as too rare to be considered. Is the otter. These animals are found nearly all over the State, except right up In the moun tains, and are much more plentiful than Is generally supposed. Their noc turnal and aquatic habits, and their extreme shyness all tend to make them Inconspicuous and, unless one Is familiar with the "sign" they make along the banks, any suitable body of water may contain a gang unsus pected for a long time. The otter reaches Its greatest de gree of development In the brackish waterr. of the eastern section. Tne largest of which 1 have record were from the lower part of the estuaries or Neuse and Pamlico rivers. There they may occasionally reach a weight of thirty pounds and a length of four and a half feet, in the flesh. Around Raleigh the largest I ever handled was three feet nine Inches In length and weighed seventeen pounds. The fur of the otter Is of two kinds. A very dense, oftJ silky and rather short under fur covers the whole of the body and amongst thla a scarcer growth of longer, darker and coarser hair occurs, in dressing for commer cial purposes, the longer hairs are often "plucked," leaving the beauti ful undercoat exposed. This is often dyed and the product much resem bles the best grades of Alaska seal, both in beauty and value. Sometimes the long hairs are left In and the un dyed pelt .sold as "natural" otter. Tho otter is caught almost entirely In steel traps, a number three New house trap being trie favorite. Ow ing to the excessively keen scent this animal possesses Its trapping Is very difficult and only the most experienced trappers can hope for much success. The fur Is "prime" about the first of the year and for a month or so before and after. I hsH e known a large, dark, prime, well-handled pelt to bring the trapper $16 or more within the past year or two. But the majority caught are badly handled and do not bring the best prices. Next In order among, the higher grades of fur taken in this State contfes the mink. While not nearly so valuable per skin as the foregoing, its much smaller size makes the made up garment even more costly than a similar one made from otter. Mink fur also comprises two grades of fine ness and length but it Is Invariably so far as I know made up ''natural," that is, unplucked. It Is an exceeding ly beautiful fur and, like the otter and other high-priced varieties, of first-class wearing qualities. The mink Is very much of a fish and crawfish feeder, in spite of the fact that many chicken raisers re gard it as a poultry lover first and foremost and are prejudiced against the animal for this,reason. Its natural home is along the watercourses, and when It doee visit the chicken yard It will usually be found that Its course lay up the branch from the back. Theee two varieties of fur, so far j as tnose proaucea in mis Ate are concerned, stand In a class to them selves. They are of the few that are never sold under manufactured trade names. Otter and mink are as standard names as seal or sable, but the same cannot be said of such trade names as brook mink, Alaska sable and a lot of others. Such deer skins as are produced with us usually go into rugs or are made Into buckskin, and seldom or never Into fur garments. Bear skins go Into rugs or robes and for such purposes a well-furred skin Is quite useful and valuable. But neither deer nor bear are sufficiently plentiful with 09 now to Influence the market to any marked degree. Bear fur does not become prime until after the hibernat ing season is over, well along in the spring Muskrat skins are probably produc ed In greater numbers in North Car olint than those of any other fur bearing animal. This fur Is something like mink, but is thinner and coarser and does not compare with mink in beauty or wearing qualities. Never theless, much of the cheaper grade of so-called mink and many commercial furs sold under high-sounding names no doubt came originally from the backs of the lowiy muskrat. It is sel dom sold under Its proper name after being made up and I have seen It when plucked and dyed black sold as some kind of seal. The United States regulars wear natural muskrat caps In cold climates In - winter and such a cap la warm aad In every way de sirable but It doesn't pretend to be anything other than what It la.- The fur Is also used' In glove and coat trim ming, it becomes prim in the spring, mid-winter caught specimens usual ly grade about N. a. . Coop probably comes next to the above in quantity produced in North Carelina. This fur again is usually sold under other names and- - after treatments that hide ita identity It Is often plucked and. dyed , and - then makes a rather pretty and not ex pensive fur for collars, . boas, - etc. The under fur ia rather long and aot at. all dense, compared with such 'va rieties aa mink and otter, but It hag its place In i the ecemomy of fur usee, . ; ,kunk la a rather handsome fur, al ways in demand, but aot much ef tt goes-on the market from this. State. The smaller the amount of white, the mere -valuable the pelt, other points being equal, and skins with much whit grade qulj low.
