The Farmers Are Pleased.

The farmers state that no spring in
years has been so favorable to the
grain and fruit crops as this year.
The only planting that was a little
backward was the corn, and that was
only few days late. In all other
respects the weather has been favora-
BILE. No biting frosts have injured
the fruit, there has been no hail in
this country to do any damage and
the rains ha,e fallen at the most
opportune intervals The wheat is
very promising, Altogether the farmer
is as well pleased with the outlook, SO
far, as he we'll can be.

A OURP6w LAW.
4 Strong Plea for Its Adoption-C Children
Should be on the Streets at an Earlier
Hour, Unless Accompanied by
Their Parents.


The following article, taken from
the Danville SIN, is applicable to
most every other town in the State
America is an ideal country, and
American people are ideal people, but
in some particulars they are exceled
by their foreign relatives; especially
Is this true in the government of chill
dren.
In this country, well regulated
homes, in which parents and children
are in proper relation to each other,
and harmony reigns, are rather ex-
ceptional.
Many of the crimes which are
shocking the country to-day have
their direct origin in laxity of parental
government. If home government
were what it ought to be, many of our
laws would be unknown, because the
necessity for them would not exist.
Since this ideal condition of home
life does not exist we can only do
what lies in our power to supply the
deficiency and lessen the crime. The
very worst education for a boy or girl
is that which is acquired on the
street. You need not travel far from
home to see the evils for which the
street is responsible.
A little walk on the streets of Dan
vile will convince you that unless
some restraining force is exerted over
boys and girls, their future looks
threatening If parents are power
less, or unwilling to prevent the dan.
ger of late hours upon the streets, the
borough ought to do so. Let us
have the Curfew law, which has been
SO beneficial to other towns. If your
children are under your control and
thus in no danger of the harm which
is the result of late hours upon the
streets, be broadmlnded, and help
this movement for the sake of some
body's less fortunate children. From
a financial point of view, it may lessen
your taxes for the support OF crimi-
nails. 1t is unfortunate that sixteen
years is the age limit affected by the
Curfew law. If this law could en-
brace those of somewhat more ma
ture years, it would have a cleansing
influence upon our town. Since we
are powerless to prevent much of the
evil and crime already existing, oul
next best plan is to work for the
young who will soon drift into forbid
den paths, unless forcibly restrained.
We bespeak for the curfew move
ment the hearty sympathy and CO
operation of the good people of the
town.
May your efforts in its behalf hasten
the day when the clear sound of the
curew shall fall upon your ears anc
insure safety to the young of oul
town.

Washington, April 2S.-As a result Of
the visit of the Cuban commissioners
It Is evident that these gentlemen will
return to Havana with a clearer un-
derst lding of the relations this gov
ernr mt would maintain toward Cuba.
Th have found the president. men,
b. Of his cabinet, senators and repre-
+ latives all earnestly in favor Of do
) everything possible to give Cuba
largest measure of independence
OF dangerous to the welfare of this
COUNTRY 1t has been explained to
them that the Plat amendment was
adopted to insure Cuba independence
in the conduct of her own affairs and
to guarantee that independence by the
power Of the American army and navy.
The Cubans already understand this,
but they have depended upon the en-
forcement Of the Monroe doctrine to
Guarantee Their Independence
from the interference of foreign powers
without assuming any obligations OF
their own to this government. With
out exception the Cuban commission
acknowledges the supremacy of the
United States in all matters affecting
the American continent. DR.. Tamayo,
secretary of state for Gen. Woods
Cuban cabinet, gave out the following
statement:
''There is no doubt that we will pre-
sent a favorable report to the conven-
ton. We have made little progress so
far in discussing the economical prob
lens, but under no circumstances will
there be any conflict between us and
the United States government. What
we are now chiefly interested in is the
economic aspect of relations. Our
products of sugar and tobacco must
Find Their Chief Market
In this country. If we receive special
tariff advantages it will mean more to
Cuba than all other concessions. In
deed, our principal object in coming
here is to ascertain what this govern
ment will do in the way of tariff in
duceyaents. We have some differences
Of opinion among ourselves as to the
eventual course, but there is little
doubt that the president is seeking to
establish relations which will be mu-
tually beneficial"
Although practically agreed to rec
ommend the ratification of the Plat
amendment, the Cuban commission
accepts this alternative not without re-
serve, but as inevitable. Secretary
Root conferred with the Cubans at
length yesterday. He had them, as on
Thursday. at luncheon in the after
noon, and then presided at a meeting
at the war department, at which Gen.
Wood was also present.
