LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Another Evidence of President Roose-
yelt's SnUacity

Mr.. Roosevelt the President is prov
ing himself to be n long-headed man. 1t
seems he has anticipated the Emperor
of Germany as to The Hague Peace Con-
vention, where war may be considered
i'll all its perpleXities of inception and
conduct. The American and German
rulers are looking to the future with n
view OF decreasing the causes for hostii-
ties; or, il there must be war, OF chang
ing its conduct beneticially for non-com-
hatant nations. Our government has
steadily and persistently he'd TO certain
propositions as to the rights Of neutrals,
and is prepared to urge their adoption at
the convention. The positions taken by
the United States are for our future con-
cern and welfare in case this country
should again be forced into fighting. This
action is a long look ahead. it is to be
hoped; but as long as war is possibili-
ty it is statesmanlike sasacity that seeks
in advance to minimize its hardships !;
and where we are neutrals it is business
on the part of this government to know
beforehand the scope of neutrality nee
essarily international This move Oh Mr..
Roosevelt's part is not at all usurpation.
as Judge Parker would be likely to define
it if he We're TO be consistent. 1t is,
rather, n diplomatic move in the interest
of humanity. and a matter for approval
by people of all nationalities, especially
those gathered in America. If Mr..
Roosevelt should be continued as Presi-
dent his ideas in this matter will un-
doubtedly receive consideration at Inc
Hague convention when held; but if a
Democrat be chosen to succeed him the
matter will be dropped for two reasons
at least-it being foreign TO the avowed
policy of the Democratic party as to in
reference in Old World matters. and
also because the proposition is of Repub-
lican origin. 1t is well for the people to
that the advancement of the
nation as shown under Republican direc-
ton will halt under that of the Demo-
Gratis. and then be followed. as in other
years of their supremacy, by retrogres-
sion and by ruin as soon as the vitality
given to the cOuntry's affairs by the Re
publicans has been exhausted.

known animal trainer. "It may sound
strange, but there is not a case on rec
ord of one getting bad-tempered when
it was performing or working. The
reason, think, is that the elephant
is an animal OF one idea. That is, 1t
can think of only one thing at time.
When you put an elephant at work
1t gives its whole attention to the
task. Great power of concentration?
No. Just inability to think of two

TROPICAL POSSESSIONS.
We Need All We Have and Could
Prohtably Increase the Numbsr

The Democratic and "Anu-lmperial-
istic" opponents of Republican national
control say we do not need tropical pos
sessions. Such. for instance, as the
Philippines. Porto Rico and Hawaii. In
saying this they overlook the fact THAT
our imports of tropical and sub-tropical
products in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1901, amounted to the enormous sum
of O.55G,7775-nearly $1,5OOOOO for
each working day of the year
The great growth in these imports in
a single generation is shown by the fol-
lowing record. using figures compiled by
the chief of the Bureau of Statistics of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor:
1870 ................... .$130SOO,OS6
1850 ............... A3I'l Io'oIo
1904 ................ 43O $50, ,775
The increase here given of $15SOOO,OOO
in twenty years, and $291 100000 in
thirty-four years. emphasizes our need
of tropical possessions in the most strik-
ing manner. Our imports from the Phil
ippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii are in
cluded in the following proportions:
Hawaii ....................$ SO. l33, ,j33
Philippines ................. 12,O6G, ,934
Porto Rico ................ 11.576,912
Total Observation-Disclosures. .$4S, ,77T,379
flere we see mat our present troplcal
possessions are only sending us about IL
per cent of the tropical products we con-
sumo. We not only need those islands
and all they produce, but we also need
to do all in our power to increase the
total and diversity OF their products.
More than that. we also need more pos
sessions of the same kind. 1t would pay
us to buy some more-the Danish and
other West Indies for instance 1t stands
to reason that as we must pay out so
large an amount each year, it would be
best to send the money to our own pos
sessions, to benefit our own native and
American interests, rather than it should
go to countries in which we do not have
any personal pecuniary interest.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
IS VERY ENCOURAGING


Friday, safurday and Sunday we're

on degree per day above the normal.
The maximum temperatures ranged from
so to 30 degrees, minimum temperatures
from so to 20 degrees. Thunder showers.
which were mostly very light, occurred
on Tuesday and Sunday. Wednesday
and Thursday were clear. The rainfall
was generally considerably deficient, and
the sunshine was about normal.
The high temperatures were favorable
for crops, especially for corn, which has
made rapid growth. Ii is generally be-
ing worked the second and third time;
the stand and color is good, and the pros
poets are promising. Wheat and rye
have improved greatly during the last
four weeks, and will make much bet
ter yield than expected, although con
siderably below the average; the harvest
win generally begin later than usual.
New meadows are good, but old meadows
are weedy; good hay crop is promised.
Clover Is being harvested. Oats and po-
tatoes are doing finely and will make
good crops. Gardens nave made good
growth. Pastures are doing well, and
