Not a Joke.

Edward King of Great Britain, Ireland
dominions over the sea, &c. &c, has
awarded the royal gold medal for the pro-
motion of architecture to Mr.. Charles F.
McKim of New York because of that gen.
tleman's achievement in remodeling the ex-
ecutive mansion. The medal Will be pre-
scented to Mr.. McKim on June 20.
This news came over the cable. And the
cable didn't break. 1t stood the strain. 1t
is a tough old cable. The operator who
translated the twinkling sparks did not
drop dead He did not even swoon. He
has received many bits of strange news and
has not been in Washington since the
White House was remodeed.
1t is declared that the award of the medal
was not a joke or If a joke at all, it was
an English joke. which Is no joke. 1t is
said the medal was awarded in good faith
and that Rex did not smile when he did 1t.
What a solemn old face that king must
havei
One explanation is that the king awarded
sthe medal to Mr. McKim because Mr.. Nc
Kim had done his remodeling in Washing
ton and not in London. Another explana-
tion is that the king awarded the medal to
Mr.. McKim because of the latters courage
in admitting that he remodeled the White
House. third reason given for the award
is that pictures of the remodeled ST. ucture
have been withheld from the king.
fourth explanation is that tne kins was
badly advised and was just trying to see If
he could do wrong. 1t was a very good
try. The last explanation is that King Ned
had medal to spare and didn't care
" 1t is confidently predicted that decora-
7tions will be conferred on those architects
who are guilty of the pension and post Of
flee buildings
~ Mr.. McKim is fine architect, In the
very front rank of his profession, hav-
ing designed Madison Square Garden in
New York. the public library in Boston, the
new state house at Providence and other
admirable structures. But the best of us
make mistakes. and in this respect Mr..
McKim is one of the best OF us

Goods News From Taft.
From the>New York SUI

From the>New York Sun.
After Gen. Miles somewhat hasty con-
illusions and recommendations respecting
famine conditions IN the Philippines, 1t is
encouraging to get plain, straight, unex-
aggerated, Unconditional statement from the
best authority the subject, Governor
Taft.
The quiet efficiency with which this re-
markable administrator is dealing with the
agricultural situation in the islands is re-
fiected In the tone of his report to the War
Department. There is shortage of the
usual food supply, but Governor Taft has
been surprised to find thus far how little
real famine hunger there has been. Not
a single provincial governor has yet made
requsition for free rice Any possible calls
in the summer months will be readily met
by the commission from it's fund of $3,OO0,-
coo available for that purpose. A threat
ened corner in rice was prevented by gov
eminent purchases of the article, amount
ing to $500, 600 gold.
The entire report of Governor Taft Is as
full of practical common sense as 1t Is free
from either foolish optimism or any con-
scious or unconscious exaggeration of con-
ditions with view to magnifying the i'm
portance of his executive efforts. 1t Will
be read with the increased conviction that
here Is an administrator whose main con-
Germ is with the task committed to him,
not with his own attitude or appearance
in relation to that task

The history of the great food in the Kaw

Yet 1t was not in such manner that its
original tremendous impression was made.
That was in it's communication of force to
the mind The dullest soul could catch a
moments illumination of the eternal mys-
terry of nature in the contemplation of the
resistleSS power of numbers-of little added
to little in the totality of overwhelming in
crease. The Interpretation of infinity con-
veyed was more vivid than when the ocean
is encountered. for there the miracle
of familiar things made strange by other
familiar elements in multiplied abundance.
1t is this effect on the consciousness of men
by great cataclysms or other unusual man
ifestations which is their chiefeSt feature.
But the secret power which is felt is not
communicable between men. The rush of
waters, the swollen flood of pulsing eddies,
the havoc and the ruin wrought, are de-
scribed that those who have seen like Wis
itations may appreciate their full sgnifi-
canoe. To others the soul of the portrayal
is wanting. 1t serves to satisfy curiosity
as statistics do. or to provide a warning
for practical consideration.

entity and may at any time be possessed of

entity and may at any time be possessed OF
the balance of power.
Thus the circumstances called for a man
Of adroit address rather than for a radical
leader. Chamberlains position in the min:
istry must be preserved for him and the
government must not be committed in SO
doing to the policy of protection. The task
might easily have daunted the most skill
full of debaters and leaders. Balfour. how
ever. rose to the emergency in admirable
fashion. He managed with the utmost ease
to secure firm foothold on both sides OF
the issue. and there he remained through
out a speech which may become historical
as a solvent of troubles. He conciliated
both sides, assured the free traders that the
government was not committed to protec-
ton. and yet indicated that there were pos
sibly signs in the air of conditions which
might suggest closer tariff union with
the colonies His references to the issue
were adroit and his manner of renOuncing
responsibility for the individual Views OF
any member of the ministry was dextrous
in the extreme.
The vote which was later. taken on the
amendment to the budget. drawn in the in
terest of the corn tax indicated the COM
pleteness OF the solidifying Of the free trade
lines. The amendment was swept aside by
424 to %. 1t Is apparent that the protec-
ton issue can have no immediate place in
the British program. save at the expense Of
the present government majority. And 1t
Is Furthermore evident that the cabinet will
not adopt Chamberlain's views, while he
has indicated his willingness to stand by 1t
and to lay his protection ideas aside for
the present. The ministry has saved its
bacon. and the episode has developed the
unmistakable fact that Premier Balfour Is
a man Of real power and resource in an
emergency. Whether he will prove to be as
constructive as he is successfully defensive
remains for events to disclose.

A Song for June.

Used to sing about the roses;
That was long ago.
When we shivered through the winter,
Strugglin with the snow.
Now the gardens bloomin gaily,
Skies are free from storm.
But there comes a sigh for seasons
When it amt SO warm.
Air that's crisp an stars that twinkle
Sharply through the night;
Snowhakes through the air a-danc-n'
Carelessly an light;
Sleigh bells jingling; fireplace roarin'
To the north winds tune:
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
That's the song fur June!

In q Glass House.
from the New York Tribune.

The Russian who said the other day that
no American was in position to point the
finger of scorn at Russia because of the
anti-Jewish riots spoke with a considerable
measure of truth. We do indeed live in d
glass house. In parallel columns with dis
patches from Kishineff we find in our news
papers accounts of the hanging and burn
ing of negro in Illinois-the state of Abra-
ham Lincoln-and wholesale killing Of
negroes. including an innocent woman by
a mob in Mississippi. the state of Jefferson
Devils. The Americans have their own in
stinct for race persecution, and in the graf
ification of it they do not need to look for
points to any other nation And the par
ticularly ominous feature of the situation
Is that this is supposed to be a Civilized
and self-governing people.

Virginia boys under twelve years old may
not lawfully be employed In mines, and In
Alabama the minimum age limit Of chill
dren employed in mines is set down in the
law as ten years.
In states where law has been made for
the restriction of child labor such law Is
evaded by the perjury of unnatural or des-
titute parents or guardians. The child
labor law of New York requires the fling
of a birth or baptismaI certificate or other
record as evidence of age. This law may
give suggestion to those states which
would restrict child labor but have found
1t difficult to prevent misrepresentation OF
the age of child workers.

Newspaper Gloss post-offlce.

The postoffice at Los Angeles is hay ing strenuous time these days to dispatch second-class mail matter. In addition to the large amount of first-class mail to sort out and route, as a result of the large number of tourists and visitors in that city at this time, the postoffice clerks are put ting in overtime handling tons of copies of the Midwinter Number of the Los Angeles Times, which was issued on January lst. As usual, citizens and tourists all over Southern Cali fornia and the Southwest are mailing great numbers of this issue of "The Times" to friends-many going to re- mote parts of the world.
 No section of the world can tell a prouder story of progress and devel- opment than can Southern California for 1902, and "The Times' has cer- tainly told it truthfully and we'll, and best of all, has told it in few words and in attractive form. Such papers do effective missionary work in the East and one can more correctly in form friends of the real conditions of life in the land We love" by sending them copy of this issue of "The Times" than by any number of letters or ordinary papers.

What better recOm- mendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they af- ford.

TRADE CONDITIONS IN 1902
R. c. Dun's Annual Review Of Trade Con ditions h Arizona and Southern
 California

The year just closed has been the most prosperous in the history of the nation. Every branch of trade and manufacture rolled up record of in- creased business and railroads were taxed beyond their ability to handle distribution of products. Prices of commodities are firmly held by steady domestic demand and there is good export movement of leading staples. Industrial plants report more orders on books than ever before.
 Money is in sufficient supply for commercial need, although high rates hamper speculation.
 Citrus fruit shipments are we'll under way and will be lively before end of present month. The seasons output is estimated at 20.0O0 to 22,0)o car loads. Feature of the market has been the absence of usual after holi- day slump.
 Locally the year has been one of general prosperity, volume of busi- ness as shown by bank clearances was nearly 50 per cent. larger than in 1901. Business properties were improved and residence portions of city expand ed. About slO,00o, 900 going into new buildings during the year.
 In Arizona the development during the year was most marked in mining industry and railroad construction. In spite of depreciation in value of copper and shutting down of some of the largest works for part of the year. The metal product of 1902 will not fall below that of 1901.
 Cattle industry has not fiourished to full extent owing to drought, and ag- ricultural interests suffered from same cause, yet both farmer and stock raiser have made money.
