SUCCESSFUL DIPLOMACY.
Glowing Tributes to President
Roosevelt in the London Press.

Roosevelt in the London Press.
London, June 13.-Glowing tributes
to President Roosevelts successful
diplomacy again occupy the foremost
place in the London morning newspa-
pers.
The Morning Post, in an editorial,
characterizes it as both personal and
national triumph, and declares that no
other man would have ventured to
even attempt what President Roosevelt
has achieved.
The Daily Chronicle calls it the
splendid beginning of the presidents
determination to pursue a world pol
icy," while the Daily Telegraph, again
insisting on the absolute sincerity of
Russia in the negotiations, says:
''The pessimists fail to take into ac-
count the position of President Roose-
welt. He is the last man in the world to
allow himself to be made fool of,
and any affront put upon him by either
belligerents would be most wanton
and inexplicable foolishness."

Dear Stodder:-I thought I was a

the following questions by return
mail. They cover some points l neg
lected to get from you.
"What is the name of the girl you
are to marry?
"Where does she live?
."What does her father do2
"Has he any money?
"Was it love at first sight?
"Are you very much in love with
her?
GLOW old is she?
"Where are you going to live?
"Did you ask her personally, or
write your proposal?
"Havn't you proposed to other girls?
Elbow did you and come to be such
friendSt
Where are you going for your
honeymoon?
rs it that tall girl you took to the
theatre one night last winter?
"Why didn't ask you all this when
you told me?
Were you SO excited you couldn't
give me any information, but simply
had to talk about getting married?
"a prompt reply will help me to give
my wife some much-desired informa-
ton. Next time you tell me you are
going to be married, don't think that
is the really important feature about
it.-Yours hastily, Shannon"

One significant brought out by the
investigation is that a large portion
of the commuters are women, who
never establish q permanent resi-
dence and who are employed tempo
rarily in the towns as school teach
ers or in domestic service, or who are
living with their parents. The great
majority of these commuters sell inn
mediateiy upon receiving title, the
business being transacted through
some agent who represents his client
in all dealings and prepares all pa
pers.

Under present practice, the commuta-

six months OF this time is generally
taken to establish residence, so that
only eight months remain. This time
is usually arranged TO include the
summer, SO that the shack built need
not be habitable in severe winter
weather, and the residence or the

where the committed homesteads are
notable i'm number The records of
some Of the counties examined show
that 30 per cent of tile committed
homesteads were transferred within
three months after acquisition Of IT,
tie, and evidence was obtained to
show that twO-thirds Of the commu-
ters Immediately left the state. In
many instances foreigners, particu-
9arly citizens Of Canada, came into
this country, declared their intention
of becoming citizens took up home
steads, commuted, sold them and re-
turned to their native land.
The reasons given for adhering to
the Communication clause are diverse
and many Of them are cogent when
applied to individual cases. 1t is
said, for example, that the commu-
ter desires to raise money for use in
improving his place. This is often
true, bUt in the majority Of cases the
records show that the commuter inn
mediately leaves the vicinity. The
frequency Of loans is traceable In
many places directly to the activity
of agents Of loan companies, who
are often United States commission
ers also, eager first to induce settle
ment and then to make these loans
on account Of the double commission
received. Later they secure the
