THE SWORDS ARE SHEATHED.

THE SWORDS ARE SHEATHED
The treaty of peace concluded at Portsmouth
between Russia and Japan is hailed with JOY
throughout the civilized world.
The clasping of the hand of the Gear with the
hand of the Mxado over the bloody chasm filled
with more than half million human skulls pre-
sents picture fearful to contemplate and causes
humanity to stagger at the thought of such sac
rifice.
At this time, when the flags are furled and the
swords all sheathed we can calmly and delib-
erately inquire into the causes which led to this
sanguinary conflict
The Japanese as a people have never been war;
like in the sense that their desire for territory
caused them to begin conquest for booty. The
last half of this century has seen them awake from
a state of Oriental lethargy and take on Western
habits and civilization. 1t cannot be denied that
they have outdistanced all Eastern nations in the
race for betterment in governmental service But
to-day they stand as a world power, not alone in
the ornaments of war and the glory of their arms
but in the gentler victories of peace. Had not the
encroachment of Russia jeopardized their existence
as nation they would have remained under the
white flag of peace. It was the case of resisting
armed invasion of neutral grounds in order to
insure future existence as nation-the Monroe
Doctrine of the East
The one dream of the Russian Empire has been
conquest of territory. The building of the Trans
Siberian Railroad gave her firm foothold in the
long coveted country and the Boxer uprising in
China gave her pretense to hold troops near the
scenes of action at Pekng. These soldiers were
not taken out of the neutral territory after the
abatement of the Chinese trouble, but greatly
augmented. So with her navy at Port Arthur and
with legions in the field she thought her position
secure.
We will say nothing of Russa's condition at
home. The cry of the oppressed Jew was heard in
the long ago. and the condition of the serf stands
monument of iniquity to her miserable misrule.
The Car of all the Russians drunk with the
thought of ever expanding domain, should have
remembered the story of Belshazzar and his feast,
and he would have been spared the humiliation OF
reading ''the handwriting on the WALL" For the
same God who reigned over Babylon is the God
who rules us yet The great Napoleon attempted
a world-empire, but at Waterloo Wellington in

Cherry GrowIru.

Iowa is making steady progress as .
fruit growing state. The census of 1880 re-
ported 3,1i9.5 SS apple trees growing within
her borders. In 1900 the number had
reached 6.S69. SIS.
In 1895 there were 701, 5OG plum trees in
the state: in 1909. l.S02. 2l7. In cherry trees
the increase is even more striking. there
being 2G0, eco trees in 1890, against 500, 900 in
1900.
While the climate of the northern part Of
the state is no doubt too severe for sue
cessful cherry growing with any except
the hardest varieties. this delicious fruit
can easily be grown in the central and
southern parts. The tree is handsome and
ornamental and Is appropriate for lawn
and garden.
Some work recently done by Professors
Price and Little at the experiment station
at Ames furnishes valuable information
upon cherry culture. This material is be-
