Press committing itselt to a reductio ; 1 absurd-im of the whole business as follows: Bl 1 ■‘But the I'nited States cannot, in these mattei s, permit airy concessionto be made, however harmless in appearance, however justifiably commercially, and however completely, withih the national 'power and policy of any qf the American republics it may be, which can in time on occasion be turned Into a foreign, naval station, Japanese or other. On this point the policy of this republic has been fixed irrevocably for a century, since President Jefferson wrote his. familiar letter tq James Madisoh declaring that the United States could not permit any European power, to acqjnr© Cuba or to secure any .island in the Gulf or Carribbean sea ” . ■, . i

This is first calculated to evoke inquiries wht i her naval stations are so light and ephemereai things that they can be evolved at . hort notice out of fish warehouses' in harbors so inconsiderable as to,be unknowh. jf. so, the entire argument for naval preparation is punctured, since that has been based ,on the assertion that, it is a work of time to create naval stations and to equip and supply them effectively. As a matter of fact, the fishing concession would be of less use to Japanese for naval purposes'than the franchise for a railroad in the United States owned by British stockholders would be to the British government. The assertion that the settled policy of the L nited States is to forbid such grants is far from correct. What Jefferson’s letter to Madison declared against was the acquisition of sovereignty over American territory. As a matter of fact, at least one European government has held a fishing concession on the Atlantic coast for a century. And at the very time that the United States was ordering the 1-Yench out of Mexico for infringement of the Monroe doctrine it made no objection whatever to the French fishing rights in Canadian waters. The strenuous effort to get a battleship appropriation through congress had better confine itself within the limits of fact—Washington Herald.

Roosevelt Then and Now.

John M Harlan of Illinois, in speaking agaiiist the third term and the third termer, said that Mr. Roosevelt bad once charged the people of Illinois with being unfitted to be Intrusted with self-government. This raised a hubbub and the statement was challenged. Whereupon -Mr. Harlan read from Mr. Roosevelt’s essay, ‘-American Ideals,” this: If the government generally got into the hands of such men as Altgeld the republic would go to pieces, for the election of such men shows that the people electing them are unfit to be intrusted with self-gov-ernment.” It is awkward for a man who changes his point of view every few minutes to have a record.

Points to Democratic Success.

One very significant fact in connection with the Illinois primary is rhe much larger percentage of Democrats •than Republicans who went to the polls It is always the man who votes who carries elections, and one Republican out of three is too busy or sick io vote this year.. “Let the people rulfe,” says. Colonel Roosevelt. He Reminds us of the thirst emporium proprietor-who savs: “Give ’em the best cigar In the house,” and holds up five fingers Turn up a bit of earth with a spade now and then and see your little Chicks go for the worms and filings, If from any cause a cow' is very ■ thin or weak, she should receive spej cial strengthening food before calvI ing. Churning should be stopped when the butter granules are the size of v. heat kernels, or better, a little I . larger. /■'

The: long, long path together, The pathway of the years ‘Through the sunshiny weather, Through days that rained with tears, Gleams with a sunlight golden And flowers bloom each side , As recollections olden Deep in your hearts abide. Folk who grow old together, Who journey hand in hand Find care sets loose its tether— But few may understand. The sharing and the giving That no one else may see Thus keep forever living The days that used to be. Wbat though white hairs come creeping As d»jfts the silent snow? Your hearts, today are keeping The olden sunny glow. Hearts that can still be singing The songs the days have sung Into your lives are bringing The thoughts forever young. Ah, fifty years! Why sum them? Life is not made of time. Yours hearts have overcome them J With faith that is sublime. God bless you then, and keep you j - With songs and laughter blent, And make you glad, and heap you W’ith all of life’s content.

The Helping Hand.

We get a good many contributions for this column, but for various reasons we cannot use them. One reason is that some of them do not fit the column, being either too long or too broad—as was the case with Hector Burnoff's virile and vigorous chant rdyale on the subject of the directoire gown. Another reason is that we love to work. Nothing is so delightful to us as to sit down and, having decided upon the shape, size and general contour of a poem, select a well-ripened ■idea and adorn it with words, oscillating, as it were, between the Century dictionary and Walker’s justly celebrated aid to rhyming. Mr. Walker often rhymes by spelling and not by sound, and you have to pick the words out by their terminal facilities instead of by their initial letters, but at times he is a help. We have hung back coyly with regard to spring poetry this year, waiting for the simon-pure inspiration, when the divine afflatus would sift into our soul and we could throw ourself, so to rpeak. The other day we took off our hat and stood beneath the orchard [ trees, waiting for the naiads and 5 dryads to dance through the distant 1 forest, but the nearest we came to such a vision was the tobacco and corset ads on the billboards impinging I upon the perspective. Just while we are in much dolefulness over the fail-

ure of. the afflatus to afflate, and also filled with quinine and regret as* a result of standing in the damp grass, we receive a poem on spring from the facile pen of Lucile Geraldine' Putts. Miss Putts does not mince matters nor gloss over anything, but,strikes at the heart of her subject and dares it to dotage- We feel that shp has so thoroughly poetized this spring that it needs no attention, -on our part. ■ Her poem is as follows: The orchard is in bloom And the bees begin to Hum Among the many trees; Some are apple, some are plum. _ How fine it is to see The grass grow on the ground So green and velvety It Is growing all around. nt The geranium is transplanted To the outdoors once again, And the little visiting children Merrily chase the hen. The little birds a're twittering At sunrise in the east, And everybody is happy, w Considerable, at least. All nature is enraptured When spring’s glad word is spoke And Ijlfe is musical, BUt Oh, my heart is broke!

There is a touch of poignant sadness in the last stanza which reminds us to some extent- of Alfred Austin’s “You and Me,” but aside from that Mr. Austin himself could not have written a sprite poem to equal this -one. No, not teen though he were dosed with Pierite sarsaparilla until the last vestige of that tired feeling had left him.

NOTES from MEADOWBROOK FARM

By William Gitt

Pullets make best breeders. A humped-up chicken never lays. ■ “ 1 ' ’ I Dairying succeeds best near a large city. Wheat bran is rich in egg making material. With the better poultry is coming better equipment It is cheaper to buy eggs than stock —but order early. As a rule, it will pay any farmer to raise his own horses. It is not economy to try to save time when feeding sheep. I If a sow is too fat reduce her feed and give her more exercise. The hen is. the best dividend payer on the farm—when handled right. As farrowing time draws near do not feed any corn to the brood sows. A pure-bred dam of course will almost eliminate the element of chance. The well hatched chick should be kept quiet until the end of the second day. ■' <5 A good dairyman makes a better inspector than can be hired, by any state. . • -v. ■

The trouble with all brooders is that they are too high, not in price, but off the ground. After the lamb has its first fill of its mother’s milk, it can usually look out for itself. At least three weeks before cows are due to calve the heavy feed should be discontinued. Sheep and poultry were never known to leave land the poorer for their having been on it. Quick, intelligent attention will often save a lamb or a pair of them, and often the ewe as well. Some succulent feed should be supplied during the winter to keep the sheeps system In tone. All . eggs that are undergoing incubation should be examined at least twice by means of a tester. ."T" A load or two of well rotted manure scattered about the lawn now will make the grass thicken up, ;
