will be easier for the United States to

Il can say TO you as a Latin Ameri-

my people at heart. that this absorption
of Central America by the great North
ern Republic is today favored by a vast
majority Of the intelligent people of
Guatemala, Nicaragua. Honduras, SAL

way the matter would be arranged
within week. Whenever the Wash

shall annex these states there will not
be heard a syllable OF protest or oppo-
sition. The sooner that word is said
the better for everybody. and the Latin
Americans are going to be the chief
gamers when the day OF annexation
comes.

REMARKABLE PEAcH rREEs-

a pamphlet which advertises bas-
ket-making machine has the following
remarkable paragraph;
It seems that the year 1905 brings
into bearing fully ten million new peach
trees IN Georgia alone. and as each tree
should require an average Of thirty bas-
kets, the demand in 1905 for Georgia
peaches should be an increase Of about
three hundred million baskets. The
new acreage I'm Florida devoted to to-
matoes and the new acreage in Cuba
devoted to tomatoes and peppers an
declare most positively that there will
be q wonderful demand for baskets.
A peach tree just coming into bear
ing yielding thirty haykefs Of fruit
would indeed be phenomenon. When
tree first begins 10 bear it has not
reached half Of its capacity. and there
fore we must conclude that al matur-
ity these trees win average sixty bas.
kets. This would require a tree lare.

OPINION
American sxmpathIes.

From the New York Herald.
Almost frenzied declarations come from
Russia that the people Of the United
states are to blame for the course of
Japan in going 20 war. Any such be-
lief must be ascribed to characteristic
Ignorance and prejudice. Japan has
needed no monitor IN this matter, and
has been aware of the strict neutrality
Of our government.
That the sympathy of the American
people is with Japan cannot be denied;
indeed. there is no tendency to deny it,
Not only has the brilliant Japanese
overture to the drama of war excited
admiration, but back OF this is the
history OF the contending forces. Each
has by its own acts established a moral
status. Russia is not viewed with
either the admiration to be won BY
mere hugeness and strength or the es-
TEEN due to the effort 10 uplift itself
IL has been unspeakably greedy and
brutal its policy one Of acquisition
abroad and repression and oppression
AZ home. Japan on the other hand
has been an eager and apt student OF
the ways cf civilization and has made
wonderful progress in adopting them.
While IT is true that Japan and Rus
sia are at war over territory that be-
longs to neither of them, their conten-
tons do not rest on common ground
Japan knows that If Russia shall be
permitted to retain and absorb Korea
the integrity of China viii be shat
tered The ultimate domination of the
Orient by Russia means the extinction
Of Japan. Thus Japan fights for the
right to exist and Russia fights for ag-
lgrandizement. The American people
are moved by generous impulses. and
hope Japan win win.

Miss Willard and Pere Marquette.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
The Senate and the House. after some
years of waiting, have passed finally
and unanimously a joint resolution Of
thanks to the state of Wisconsin for
the statue OF Pere Marquette. which
now stands in statuary hail. AS told
In previous despatch, the marble me-
mortal to Frances e. Willard. the gift
Of Illinois, will stand next to that of
he good old exploring missionary
father. Miss Willard's statue will be
the only one having a place in the ma
tional capitol In honor of a woman.
barring, Of course. the statue of the
Goddess Of Liberty one of Miss VIII
lard's closest friends and warmest ad-
mirers said In Washington the other
day that when the memorial was erect
ed there would be IN the capitol a Sec
ond statue Of liberty's goddess. 1t isn't
hard TO get at the meat of the mean
ing Of this enthusiastic friends remark.
but il is more than probable ait be-
fore the Willard memorial appears In
statuary hall the anti-canteen law will
be repealed.

Down here in Delaware we have no

has exhausted her output. Real

Locks and Keys.

According to Demon, locks and keys
can be traced back to the ancient
Egyptians, more than 4,oo0years ago.
This is inferred from the a.a-1
on the great .- @. Eala.E, which
closely re- lie lock. si- in
thare-cluus5 massive wooden locke,
in which three Iys drop into three
holes in the bolt; when it is pushed
in, and are raised by corresponding
fixed pins on the big key. Similar
locks and keys are found at Mosul,
near Nineveh, the key being more
than a foot long, quite clublike and
often carried on the shoulder.
KEYS are also mentioned at the
siege of Troy, 1893 &c. The Pho
nicians are said to have exchanged
locks for tin from Cornwall. Oc-
casional notices OF them occur IN
many Greek and Roman writers,
Pliny ascribing their invention to
Theodorus Of Samos. Bronze and
iron keys have been found in the
ruins of Pompeii.
Possibly far more ancient than
these are Chinese locks, with springs
and tumblers, some of them musical,
almost exact counterparts OF the
famous Bramah locks Of England in
the eighteenth century.

An important Problem.

No tendency of modern times has
caused so much uneasiness in the
minds of social philosophers and re-
formers as the drift ofpopulation from
the rural districts to the cities. That
this tendency is deplOrable is admit
ted on all hands, but there is no gen
elal agreement as to what should be
done to discouraged. Recently, how
ever, public speakers and writers have
been insisting that the way to keep
the bright young men and women on
the farms is to ameliorate the condi-
tons of country life. The extension
of telephone lines into the county and
the rural free mail delivery are steps
in that direction. But the general
improvement of the country roads
would be far more important step.
Bad roads do more than anything else
to promote ignorance, isolation, dis
oouragement and disgust among the
country people. Good roads promote
attendance al s'l-3l and the church
tie make social e.harings, literary
societies, dramatic entertainments
and club and lodge meetings possible
during the winter and spring With
bad roads the farmer is compelled to
hibernate, socially, for three or four
months in the year. With good roads
these months become the most pleas
ant and in some respects the most
profitable in the year.
The improvement CT the country
roads is now recognized as one OF the
greatest questions before the Amerl-
can public; and it is coming to be
recognized as a question which con-
Germs not merely the rural population,
but the whole people. Many public
men have declared their conviction
that road Improvement is proper
subject for national as well as State
I lat.on. Among the reasons Of
...- ia saprort of ibis view are the
following
TIst-Theimproyement Of thehigh-
IS too great burden for a rural
population to bear alone. II left to
/ them The problem Will never be solved.
Second-The improvements OF the
roads would benefit all classes through
out the entire country; hence, the
whole people should share in the nee
essary expense.
Third-The Improvement Of the
roads is necessary to the extension of
the rural free delivery system; and
Congress is authorized by the Con-
stitution to Establish post roads.
Fourth-The improvement of the
roads is certainly as fit subject for
national legislation as improvement
of rivers and harbors.

Dead Lines Mean Something Now.

It's no fun being convict at the
State penitentiarY at Folsom since the
big break last summer. Reform is
the order of the day, and Warden
Archibald Yell has not been a bit
squeamish in the vigorous methods he
has adopted to keep his 900 desperate
wards in line. Guards have learned
to shoot, to shoot straight, and to
shoot quickly. Dead line means
warning of death, nowadays to the
disobedlent stripe wearers. 'For e1-
ample:
In the prison yard where the out
break occurred the dead lines have
been closely drawn. To step over
the mark means something serious.
One Sunday afternoon recently con-
victs were playing baseball in the
yard. A batted ball rolled over the
danger line. A convict ran thought
lessly and was in the bullet zone be-
fore he realized. From the overlook
ing guard post came sharp oder:
81 as i-..l the line OF 1 will shoot
TaecarV.ct jumped as if he felt the
bullet. The game continued. A
second time The ball sped across the
line. Heellessly player ran. As
he bent down to pick up the sphere
crack sounded a rife shot.
The bullet pinged and struck the
ball, smashing it out of the convict's
hands as he was stopping. The shot
was that of a skilled marksman. 1t
was not to kill, but to impress the
convicts that dead lines mean some
thing now at Folsom.-San Francisco
