BIG INCREASE IN PEACH
TREE PLANTING

Nothing in recent years has so
strikingly caught the eye of
agricultural investors and intel
ligent farmers than the marvellous
growth of the peach industry of
East Texas, along the line of the
Houston East and West Texas Rail-
way, the raising and shipping of
peaches to the eastern and northern
markets proving a source of hand
some income from the gathering of
the very first crop. East Texas has
shown the greatest increase in peach
raising in the state.
Plain figures tell the story, and
according to reports, personally
gathered and carefully compiled,
there werej just ten times the number
of peach trees planted this year
over last, the actual number in this
territory in 1902 being 46,575, and
the actual number in 1903 being
430,624-an increase of 1884, 049
treesl In one district alone there
was planted 117,000 trees, and
in another 10000.
There is money in peaches, and
the farmer who realizes it and falls
into line will come in on the tide
of prosperity.-Southern Pacic Lit

GOLD AND MORE GOLD.

The gold reefs of Alaska, says
the Mexican Herald, are now said
to extend under Boring Strait and
to reappear in Siberia. There is
plenty of evidence that there is
much gold yet unmined on the
Russian shore opposite Alaska.
There is deal of talk among re-
turning whale fishers of the big
nuggets found ten miles inland of
the East Cape. The Russians
jealousy guard their mines, and
won't allow the intrusive foreigners
to take part in the mining opera
tions. 1t is very cold country. SO
cold, in fact, that mining can only

While South Africa is destined to-
yield enormously of gold in the

A GOOD DEAL OF A JOKE.

interstate commerce commission to fix
railroad rates aud put stop TO dis

OF the country may not regard 1t in
that light. 1t has been doing duty
q long while in the house and senate
and the common belief has been for
some time that if the law makers were
really in earnest in trying to find a
solution they might put some act on
the statute books that would be effec
tive. But after years of talk and at :
tempts at relief word comes from
Washington that the commission Is

and that the advantage ia still with
the railroads. So another effort is to
be made and Mr.. Cooper of WisooD
ain proposes to amend the laws so that
the comm mission may fix reasonable
rate which shall stand until over
turned by the federal courts. This
reverses the present order under which
the roads fix the rates and if the com
mission declares them unreasonable
an appeal is made to courts and the
rates stand for two or three years pos
sibly until the courts reach the case.
II is proposed now to have the COM
mission fix rates and let the roads do

aHE LOTTERY CASE.

The decision of the Unite States SUI
prerne court in the Champion case is
attracting much attention aid exciting
much discussion. BY majority of CHE
the court has affirmed the constitution
ali+y of the act of Congress which pro-
hibits interstate traffic in lottery tick
cts. That act was passed in 1895. A
man named Champion violated its pro-
vision by shipping through an express
agency in the State of Texas box of
lottery tickets addressed to a point in
the State of California. He was ar
rested in the city of Chicago, and,
while proceedings for his removal to
Texas were pending. he applied to
Federal court for writ of habeas cor
pus His application was denied. He
appealed to the Supreme court which
has now sustained the ruling of the
Federal judge in Illinois. His counsel
were beaten both in the argument that
the suppression of lotteries was duty
appertaining to the several States and
not to the central government, and up
on the contention that the transmission
of lottery tickets did not make the
transmitter amenable to the rules and
regulations governing commerce be-
tween the States.
This decision not only regulates" the
lottery business in this country in a
way that will be pleasing to all who
do not like lotteries, but it is taken as
sustaining the plenary and absolute
power of congress to prohibit any form
of traffic when it deems such traffic
hostile to public interests. Thus it has
an important bearing on "the trust
problem for it seems to imply the
right Of congress to go to extraordinary
lengths in regulating commerce be-
tween the States, whether this COM
merce be in lottery tickets, beef, sugar,
oil, or any other product. 1t is also
considered as another advance of "the
loose construction idea. 1t is impor-
| tant in many ways, and there are some
| who will feel regret that in such mat
ter the court was not more nearly
unanimous. Still, five to four does the
business.

that he asks is opportunity; that the
same law which is made by the white
man and applied to the one race be
applied with equal certainty and ex-
actness to the other When In any
country there are laws which are not
respected, which are trampled under
foot and made to mean one thing when
applied to one race and another thing
when applied to another race, there is
not only injustice, for which, in the
end, the nation must pay the penalty,
but there is hardening and bunting of
the conscience; there is sapping of the
growth in human beings of kindness,
justice and all the higher purer and
sweeter things of life. No race can de-
grade another race without degrading
itself. No race can assist in the lifting
up of another without itself being
broadened and made more Christ-like.
OF course there is a kind of prejudice
that even such truth so stated as this
will not impress. but it will impress
reasonable people.

Russia is laying a heavy hand on
Finland. Last year the young men of
Finland, to the number Of about fifteen
thousand, deliberately absented them
selves from the military levy. which
they regarded as unconstitutional and
illegal. The Russian government has
now announced it's decision in the mat
ter. The Governor General in Helsing-
fors is informed that it is the Cars
expressed their willingness to serve but
have not yet been enrolled shall be re-
ceived into the Finnish battalion Of
Guards to fill up its ranks; that those
recruits who have failed to present
themselves shall be pursued and drawn
for service: and that from communes
in which no ballot has taken place a
sufficient number of men shall be
drawn to provide for the vacancies
which the CONSUMPTION boards have not
been able to fill in the regular manner.
Moreover, as direct punishment to the
delinquents, it is ordered that those of
them who OCCUPY administrative posts
shall be dismissed: that persons who
were subject to military service and
who afterwards became candidates for
posts in the government or communal
service shall be required to prove that
they presented themselves at the levy;
that during the next five years none of
the absentees shall be allowed to leave
the country: that in granting public
loans or subsidies to conmunes regard
shall be paid to the extent to which
they have been implicated in the resist
ance to the levy; that all those who re-
ceive a second summons to the levy
shall be enrolled in the Landwehr.
Of course Finland will be Russianized
in some way Or other, but the process
will not be pleasing to patriotic Fin
landers or to outsiders who are not sure
that might makes right.
