SAPPHO'S APPLE,

(This poem which appears in the cur
rent issue of the New York Independent,
written just before his ILLNESS, was the
last contribution received by that publ
cation from Maurice Thompson's penn
A dreamy languor lapsed along
And stirred the dusky-bannered boughs
With half sigh and half a song
The grooming tree did nod and browse,
While far a!oft blush tinted hung
One perfect apple maiden-sweet,
At which the gathers vainly flung
And could not get to hoard or eat.
"Reddest and best they growled, and
went
Slowly away, each with his load
Fragrant upon his shoulders bent,
The hill-flowers darkening where they
trode:
"Reddest and best; but not for us:
Some loafing lout will see it fall:
The laborer's prize-'twas ever thus
Is his who never works at an"
Soon came a vagrant, lettering
His young face Drowned by wind and
sun,
Weary, yet blithe and prone to sing,
Tramping his way to Avalon
Even it was who, long athrst
And hungry, saw the apple shine:
Then wondrous wild sweet singing burst
Flame Alike across these lips of mine.
o ruby-flushed and f1aring gold,
THOU splendid lone one left for me.
Apple of love to fitch and hold.
Fruit-glory of kingly tree!
Drop, drop into my open hand.
| That may hide thee in my breast,
| And bear the far Ger sea and land,
A captive, to the purple West.

DANGER IN CUBA.

If the Cubans should ask annexation
the people of the United States would
not be willing to admit the island as a
state at this time 1t would be required
to pass through territorial period the
duration of which would depend upon a
careful and prolonged study of condi-
tions. About two-thirds of the Cubans
are illiterate. and nearly all are un-
familiar with Il republican form of gov
eminent. while their customs and traits
are different from those found in this
country. 1t is unfortunate. especially
for the Cubans. that they do not want
to be a territory of the United States
They are attracted by the idea of form
ing new sovereignty in the world
They picture to themselves the functions
and privileges of republic. without
counting the burdens and the responsi-
bilities. The United States has prom
ised them a government of their own
as son as they can provide stable
basis for it in the form of practical
constitution. 1t pleases democratic pa
pers to say that the administration
seeks to evade the pledge made by con-
gress.' but the charge Is mere partisan
clamor. Every stey taken looks forward
to a government of Cuba approved by
the CubanS themselves.
While the people of the United States
would not be willing to grant present
statehood to Cuba. giving it two men,
bers in the senate and four in the house.

lead of congress. with distinct nation

experiment will be noted with grave

to our shores. to keep this country con-

BEET SUGAR FACTORIES.

1t was hardly to be expected that
the fusion Legislature would endorse the
payment of bounty on beet sugar pro-
duced in Montana. That is republican
policy, and it's benefcient effect may be
seen in the neighboring state of Utah.
Perhaps if the fusion members of the
Montana legislature were to visit that
section they would change their minds.
Stopping at Ogden, they would find, a
few miles south of the city, new bed
sugar factory. established less than
year ago. They would find the farmers
Whereabouts rejoicing over the fact that
this factory had enabled them to large
ly increase the profits from their land
by raising beets. The visitors would
find that this furnished profitable en-
ployment in the fields to a large num-
Der of workmen. They would find fur
Their that a big force of men obtained en-
ployment in the various departments of
the factory.
Going on south to Lehi, they would
find the same thing repeated on a very
much larger scale. for the first factory is
located here. The farmers would tell
| them that ever since the factory was
established several years ago, it had
been the most potent aid to prosperity
! in that region.
! There is one phase of the matter more
important than all this. There are in
Utah about 275,OOO people and practical
! ly all of the sugar used in that state
! is produced right there. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars that would have

Possessed of many rocks,

To deal in railroad stocks.

PEACE IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The dawn of peace in South Africa
is apparently at hand. Botha has been
forced to surrender and De Wet Is evil
IDENTIFY powerless to do more damage.
Both of these generals fought ON long
after every hope of success had van
ished long after nearly all of the Beers.
except those actually in the field, had
declared for peace. They would not lis
ten to any appeals. and when De Wet
and Bo,ha. brothers to these two gem
erals, made their plea to the Beers for
a cessation of hostilities, they were
roundly denounced.
The action of the commanders has only
resulted in the needless sacrifice of many
brave men, and in entailing upon the
burghers and their families the terrible
hardships of war that might have been
avoided So far from serving any good
or sensible purpose. the prolongaton of
the struggle has only hardened the Brit
sh towards them. Upon what condi-
tons peace will now nnally be establish
ed is a matter of conjecture. of course,
but it is likely that better terms could
have been secured some time ago.
1t has been an enormously costly war
to the British. 1t began with the in
! vason of Natal on Oct. II, 1899 and
the fighting has continued almost with
out Interruption since that time. Up
! to January l last, the British had suf-
| fered a permanent loss of 1929 officers
I nf{ l,r
most distinguished officers Of the army
This loss includes 1925 killed on the
| field of battle and those who We're car
ried off by disease. together with 1.73-
discharges for disability and 937 missing
and prisoners. Upwards of LOO Off
GERS and nearly 10000 men have beer
invalided home. Nearly all of these have
since returned to the field. The Brit
ish met with one constant difficulty il
the immense area over which the oper'
ations extended. the reports of the Brit
sh war office showing it to exceed thu
combined area of Germany. Austria AM
France. The railroad lines that had t.
be guarded convey a good idea Of thi
factor. The line from Cape Town t.
Pretoria is 1.O4O miles; from Cape Tow
to Kimberley, 647 miles: from Pretori;
to Komatipoort, 26O miles, from Kim
berley to Mafeking, 223 miles: from
Durham to Pretoria, 81 miles. These
with other branches, required the serv
ices of practically 100000 men, Will
an equal force was needed for the oc
cupaton of important points and i
guarding the supply trains. The cos
of all this reaches such a sum that tn
