Peace Assured.

The peace conference between
the representatives of Russia an d
Japan has agreed upon terms upon
which the war between those nations
is to end. The terms were approx
ed by both the Car and Mikado,
but Notwithstanding this, there is
great dissatisfaction on both sides.
A dispatch dated September 4th
from Manchuria says:
The Japanese are continuing
preparations for battle.
This has caused astonishment,
coming at the moment when the peac
treaty is on the eve of being signed
at Portsmouth. The Russian ad-
vance posts report that the japanese
troops are very much dissatisfied
with the peace agreement. The
terms of peace are the subject of
discussion everywhere. In the
Russian army the prevailing spirit
is one of satisfaction and even of
lively rejoicing, though general
confidence is expressed that the
troops would be victorious if they
had to fight another battle The
feeling of many of the officers may
be summed up in the words of an
eminent commander: Gas a soldier
am greatly chagrined, but as a
citizen / rejoice at the conclusion of
peace" "
Whatever may be the feelings of
the two nations, the Who'll. world is
giving to President Roosevelt all
the praise for bringing about The
peace conference, and when several
time it tappeared that all negotiations
were at an end it was his persistence
that opened the way for new pro-
positions and final brought the op-
ponents together on terms that have
ended a most disastrous war to
both sides. The President has
received the thanks of Emperor
Nicholas and the Mikado for his
efforts, and every nation is sounding
his praises as a diplomat and peace
maker"

FARMERS PIONIO
Annual Meeting al Trout Ponds Addressed
by Hon. W T. Greasy

In speaking of the address de-
livered by Hon. w. 7. Greasy al
the Farmers picnic at Trout Pond,
Lycoming county, on August Io,
the Hnghesailt Mail says:
The speaker of the day, Hon
w. T. Greasy, of Columbia County,
was introduced, and gave TIE audi
ence one of the best talks to the
farmers ever listened to in this Sec
ton. He pointed out the necessity
of the farmers banding themselves
together, not for political purposes
but for the benefit of themselves.
Let them see that the candidate who
will look after the farmers interest
be elected TO Office, one who recog-
nizes the fact that the farmer has
interests that shall be respected,
and that he will uphold such in
terests and see that such legislation
as tends to better the condition Of
the farmer, to whom all others
must look for food, shall be enact
ed.
He referred to the benefits to be
derived from the road bill, whereby
the farmer will be able to secure
better roads over which to haul the
products of his labor to market at a
less expense than at present. He
also pointed out the benefit to be
derived from the telephone, and ad-
vised the farmers to erect lines
throughout the county, showing
where it can be done at small out
lay, and also demonstrated where
possibly in a month or six weeks
one can transact business over the
telephone. without leaving home,
whereby the cost of installation of
the phone can be realized.
Mr.. Greasy is pleasant and en-
tertaining speaker and his talk was
greatly enjoyed by all present, and
had his coming in our midst been
more thoroughly advertised a much
larger audience would have greeted
him, and it is to be hoped that our
citizens may have an opportunity
in the not far future of listening to
him again."

FOR FREE TRADE.
General Wood Says II is Necessary Ia The
Philippines.

Needs of the Filipinos were
descanted upon by General Leonard
Wood before he and his wife sailed
for the Philippines. They took the
steamship Teutonic for Liverpool.
From England they will sail cn a
p. and o. boat. After saying the
Philippines now were under the
best government ever known there
the general went on;
The need of free trade is obvi-
Gus. We have taken away from
the Filipinos their Spanish markets
and have substituted nothing i'll
their place. Free trade will iDj ure
no American industry. The second
need is to get the people back to
work in the fields Our coming to
the islands necessarily resulted in a
tremendous initiation of prices and
wages. The United States poured
into the islands many millions of
dollars year for several years, and
the result was to raise wages in a
way that did the people great harm.
Now we want to get these people
back to agriculture. If the islands
are to be developed they must do
the labor. The impulse for this
must come from without. There
must be American leadership aud
capital there. y
General Wood said there was no
military or political problem in the
isla" DIS.
Il am sure the only agitation re.
garding the future of the islands is
found in this coun,ry," said he,
"and if that should cease we over
there would hear little more about
il. ="

TO CHANGE INAUGURATION.

The movement to have the date
for the Inauguration of President of
United States changed from March
a., when the weather is generally
inclement and cold. to later date,
has assumed real shape. Philadel-
phia and Pennsylvania are greatly
Interested in This because they sup
ply thousands of men for each in
augural parade. The part the Key
stone State plays in the ceremonies
is so great that the scheme will ap-
peal to it's citizens forcibly. Com
missioner Mcfarland, Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, has announced
that the national committee on the
proposed change of Inauguration
day from March 4 to later date
will be called together some time in
November. This committee is COM
posed ofthe Governors ofthe several
States and Territories, with fifteen
residents of the District of Co.
lumbia. The chairman has been
in correspondence with the Govern
ors of States since the last inaugura-
ton, and has secured the written
consent of forty-one olthem to serve
on the committee. The Governors
who accepted service expressed
sympathy with the movement, and
some of them are emphatic in doing
so. This indicates that they are
prepared to bring the matter before
the people and the Legislatures of
the States in a favorable light, as
we'll as lend their influence to the
operations of the national commit
tee.
The death of Senator Bate of Ten:
nessee. followed by that of Ambas-
sador Azpiroz and that of Judge
Weldon Of the Court of Claims, in
consequence of exposure on last 4th
of March, have made a deep i'm
preston as to the dangers of the
present inauguration date.

TIE BAR ASSOCIATION.

The following circular has been
addressed to members of the bar of
of this county by Col. J G. Freeze
President OF the Bar Association:
GENTLEMEN OF THE BAR.
There are now on the roll Of at
torneys at the Columbia County Bar,
fifty-four names. Twelve of those
cannot be said to be in active prac-
tice, but rather in other rursuits-
yet are members Of the Bar: all of
whom are or at least ought to be,
jealous of its honor and jealous in
keeping it up to high grade Of
efficiency and Of learning ard of
esprit an t0,bS. The Bar Assoca-
tion has fallen into decay, at least
into a decline, and it is of the first
Importance to the profession in the
county to reorganize it and have it
| become All active and vital force.
We are not only not Brothers of the
Bar, but we scarcely know each
other.
We indeed have no place to meet
no room in or about the Court
House fitted for or large enough
for business or social meeting or
assemblage. What is called the
Library is in no respect a library
room or fit for one. 1t is indeed
sort of Book Room, but without
conveniences for use of any kind.
1t is in fact only waiting room to
the courtroom.
OF the thifty-ope subscribers to
the constitution and membership in
the Association in 1892, eleven are
dead or have left the county. The
following remain, in the order here
given:
John G., Freeze, J. B. Robson,

The Pennsylvania Bar Association
is vigorously enforcing the Supreme
Court Rules and requirements for ad-
mission to the Bar for which we
should all be thankful. 1t will raise
the standard of learning, education
and qualification for membership,
and rebound to the advantage of
litigants as well as practitioners and
courts.
And now what can be done, ought
to be done and must be done, to put
us fairly on Our feet in this race and
endeavor to raise the reputation of
the Bar and fit to answer all the
requirements of the highest court2
The present officers of the Asso-
ciating are John G.. Freeze, Presi-

ern Kansas a portion of the county

of solely as a vast cattle raising terri
tory. has been literally transformed
within the past five years. So natural
and so gradual has been the change
that its contamination is nothing short
of marvellous and the results obtained
are bound to interest not only the
farmer and the real estate dealer, SO
vitality interested, but the scientist also.
Inspired by cheap land, splendid
climatic conditions, good water and
fine railway facilities. hundreds of
brainy, capable tillers of the soil from
all parts of the Union went into this
territory d few years ago to make
homes and fortune. In five years
their efforts have shown almost unbe-
fievable results. Those results have
just been set forth in a booklet, with
photographs, published by Robert S
Lemon, immigrant agent Of the Union
Pacific Railway company at Kansas
City. The booklet which is made up
principally from figures and facts
gathered by Secretary Coburn of the
state department Of agriculture. tells
of an unusual feature in connection
with the changed conditions.
With the increased area of crops.
there has been a steady increase in the
rainfall and a change in the climatic
conditions. These changes in the eIe-
ments unquestionably have come with
the turning of the land from cattle
raising to an agrt cultural country

that must involve all new districts
The results come with particular
force at this time when there is so
much talk of frauds i'll government
lands, and refute the claims of cattle
men, who, for selfish reasons. have for
years discouraged innovations upon
the part of farmers, making the as
sertion that the grazing lands We're
good for cattle only and that the
farmer who attempted to work the soil
would starve to death. 1t marks an
other point in the expansion of the
farmer. who is gradually forcing the
cattle raiser from the territory he has
held for many years.

8IICHTGAN's GREAT RECORD.
Work for Four Years UnequaIed In
Football History.

Chicago, Nov. 30.=The University
of Michigan football team, which
meets the Maroons today in the game
that will decide the western cham
pionship beyond the question of a
doubt, is the greatest scoring machine
that ever Tiaye the great American
college game. A Michigan enthusiast
and an ardent admirer of Coach
Fielding II. Yost has compiled sta
tistics showing the points rolled up
by the Ann Arbor team since Yost
took charge of the football team there
in 1901 and startled the west with
his hammer-and-tong manner Of
playing football.
The figures show that the Wolver-
ines have played 55 games in the last
five years, including the Wisconsin
game of this season. In these con-
tests the maize and blue elevens have
rolled up a grand total of 2,746 points,
while their opponents have scored 40
points. The average score per game
made by YOst's team has been 1873
points, while the average score of
Michigan's opponents has been 7-10ths
point per game.
In 1901 the Wolverines rolled up
$50 points to 0 for their opponents,
while the following year the Ann
ArbOrites established a high-Water
mark in the scoring line by rolling
up 644 points to IL for their OPP
ponents. That year Minnesota scored
6 points and little Case contributed a
like number
In 1903 the scores of the Wolver-
ines totaled 565 points to for their
opponents, Minnesota making a
touchdown and goal in the much
discussed tie game played at Mime
apOlis.
In 1904 Michigan rolled up 5s7
points, while her opponents scored
! p. the most made against the VOL
verines any year since Yost took
charge of the Ann Arbor football
! squad.
Thus far this season Iichigan's
goal line has been uncrossed. Mich
! fgan has made 420 points which is
the low mark for a Yost team.

was not until the teams appeared that
the point was decided. As Boone. the
