it was the portrait of an American or an Irish girl not of an English one.
 The play built on the Major romance represents Queen Elizabeth as actuated by unroyal jealousy of Mary of Scotland, and that Is the reason assigned for ban ing 1t. Yet one of the Savoy operas of last year represented Elizabeth as con- sumed with love of Raleigh and furiously jealous of maid of honor whom Raleigh preferred Both in costume and charac- terzation 1t made the virgin queen ridc- ulous, but it was written by Englshmen and 1t gave no offense.
 When the right person does 1t, English men are not at all sensitive about their dead royalties. Not one Londoner in three even knows that the tame looking statue in Cockspur street Is of George III. How they regard all their Hanover kings is shown in Thackeray's unsparing lectures on "The Four Georges" and In the fa- miliar doggerel ending Thank the Lord the Georges ended" There is a trace of the courier in Shakespeare's Henry VIII" but he was writing in the reign of Henrys daughter. Otherwise his histor- teal plays are frank enough. If every thing unnattering to dead royalty Is to be forbidden the English stage, Richard ILL" should have short shift.

 CAUSES UNREST
PROPER SOLUTION OF THE CUES. TON sAlD TO BE BUILDING OF BETTER ROADS IN RURAL DIS. TRlcTs.

Washington, January 9.-(Special )-No tendency of modern times has caused so much uneasiness in the minds of social philosophers and reformers as the drift of population from. the rural districts to the cities. That this tendency is de- plorable, is admitted on all hands, but there Is no general agreement as to what should be done to discourage it. Re- gently, however, 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- tions of country life. The extension of telephone lines into the country, 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 iso- lation. discouragement, and disgust among the country people. Good roads promote attendance at school and the church. they make social gatherings, lit erary societies. dramtic entertainments, and club and lodge meetings possible dur ing the winter and spring. With bad i roads, the farmer is compelled to hibern- | ate, socially, for three or four months in the year. With good roads, these
 months become the most pleasant and in l some respects the most profitable in the year.
 The improvement of the country roads is now recognized as one of the greatest questions before the American public; and it is coming to be recognized a question which concerns not merely the
 rural population but the whole people.
 Many public men have declared their conviction that road improvement is a proper subject for national, as we'll as state legislation. Among the reasons of I fered in support of this view are the fol- 1 lowing:
 1. The improvement of the highways is too great a burden for the rural popula-
 tion to bear alone If left to them the
 problem will never be solved. ?. The improvement of the roads would
 benefit all classes throughout the entire
 country; hence, the whole people should share in the necessity expense.
 3. The rural improvement of the roads is necessary to the extension of the rural
 free delivery system; and congress is au-
 thorized by the Constitution to "estab- fish post-roads.'
 4. The improvement of the roads Is cer-
 tainly as fit a subject for national legis- lation as improvement of rivers and har bors.
 Bills are now before both houses of con- gress providing for an appropriation of twenty-four million dollars to be used during the next three years as a fund for national aid to road improvement. The fate of these bills depends largely upon the attitude of the farmers on the ques- tion. If they would unite in strong de- rnand for national aid, 1t would speedily become an accomplished fact.

soUTH's PROSPERITY.
John s. Kirby Says This Section Saved
 the Country.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 J. H. Kirby, president of the Kirby Lumber company, who has been in New York for the last four months, arrived in the city Wednesday night on his way to Houston to spend the holidays. He talked interestingly of the situation in Panama, cotton and the money market, and says he believes that had 1t not been for the south and west the country would have experienced the worst financial panic in its history
 'The south and west saved the coun- try" said MT. Kirby, "and but for the great strength shown by these sections we would have had a panic. Money Is easy at present, but there was time when 1t was hard to get, as the banks shut down on everything. The depression was due to the conditions extant at the time The market was flooded with a lot of paper by Morgan and the shipbuilding trust and the conditions were such that the bankers became frightened and re- fused to let any one have money.
 The railroads ordered the suspension of work on improvements and money was called in, making the market very tight for a time, but the south and west re- fused to follow the lead of New York. and continued to grow and prosper. This has established more firmly the position of the south because it came to the res cue at time when help was badly needed.
 Cotton is the main topic in New York at present, with Panama as side line. There are no bears on the market at this time-they're all bulls. The crop Is very short. and the planter is reaping the benefit of the high prices which, prob ably, will go still higher. People mrSt have cotton, and there is very little of it to be had at this time. The mills are short and the demand for cotton goods is greater than ever. The present condi- ton of the market is due to natural causes and the present prices, Judge, will be maintained.
 '0The people of New York are discussing the Panama affair more or less, and while some condemn the method adopted to se- cure the canal treaty, they approve the goal sought by the President. Southern men in New York who generally vote in- dependently are pleased with the result, but condemn the course. They all appre- ciate what the building of the canal means to the south. but the action of President Roosevelt has made him unpop- ular Of course, the partisan republican thinks the President has done just what he should but. there is an element of dis content that promises to make 1t unpleas- ant for him. We wanted *the canal needed it-and we will get 1t. There is not much discussion of politics in gem eral way in New York at this time, be- caNse the people are all too busy. and .~Te from the Panama matter there Is little heard of politics"
 Discussing the lumber business, MT. Kirk stated that the past year had been prosperous one. and that the indica-

tions were for much better business In 1904 though the railroads would not be heavy buyers as they were during the present year.
 ''The people are thrifty and we must supply the general demand for lumber, ,' said Mir. Kirby "The new tariff on lum- Der does not affect the mills of Texas as they do those of Louisiana and Mis- sissippi, but sour rates also have been increased some. The tariff cuts us out of some small markets. but does not af- feet the general business of the Texas mills materially"

kiplino's Verse.

It is not a strange thing, when one thinks of it. that Kipling verse should be oftener praised or condemned for its polt- teal content than for Es more strictly poetical qualities. Thus MT Perry the ed itor of the Atlantic Monthly, sums up the philosophy of ''The Five Nations"
 ITO read him. after reading the poetical poetry of Milton or Shelley, or Lowell or Whittier, is to be conscious of a startling and radical difference, not merely on the specific issue of human liberty, but also in the general conception of life and des- tiny. MT. Kipling's gospel is very simple It is the neolithic one Of carrying big stick. and the finest poem he has ever written was inspired by mood of medi- tation-all too rare in him-upon the vast responsibilities entailed upon the possess ors of superior physical force"

Promises Improved Light Service

There have been many complaints of
late becauseof the poor service furnished
by the Electric Light Co., but if the
public will be patient little longer,
Manager Worse promises a greatly i'm
proved system in few days.
The low stage of water in Hood river
has lessened the flow in the flume at the
power house, and this prevents the dy-
namo from working to its full capacity
Men are now at work lengthening tho
wingdam so as to afford stronger flow
of water, and Manager Worse states that
his company has placed an order for q
larger dynamo.
When this is installed the company
assures its patrons that the service will
be greatly bettered, and that it will be
possible to supply twice the number of
lights that are now taken. The wires of
the company have been worked to their
limit OF late, but every effort will be
made to improve the service.
