Cleveland's cabinet and of the Atlanta
Journal; and ]. r. Estill, editor of the
Savannah News. The first two are
especially we'll known throughout the
country and are very brainy mcn,
though after reading the columns
which Mr.. Howell devotes daily to Mr..
Smith the average reader is filled with
wonder that the latter gentleman was
not hanged long ago. 1t also appears
that Mr.. Smith has an equally strong
case against Mr.. Howell, and both OF
them against Mr.. Estill and Mr.. EStill
against both of them. 1t must be an
exciting summer down in Georgia
though most people prefer to keep out
of politics in weather like this. And
it is very sad to see brother editors

tors-gOuging each others eyes and
chewing each others ears in such I'M

Names summer travel does not
reach its height until August, but the
first division of the army Of summer
tourists is with us AMI the resorts are
fast filling up. And not only do sum-
mer visitors come from the great cities
to throng our world-famed resorts, such
as Old Orchard, Bar Harbor. Kineo.
Poland Springs. and a Gozen of other
places which are famed throughout the
land, but in increasing numbers they
seek rest and recreation by the shores
OF our beautiful inland lakes, in the
picturesque elm-shade1 old villages
that nestle among the hills and upon
the isolated farms. They arc coming in
great numbers, this summer, and there
Is a welcome fro them all. Every day
We see them upon the streets of Au-
gusta, coming here by train and boat
and departing by trolley or team to the
lakes and farms of this vicinity. Their
presence here means mucn to us in
many ways, and it is not too much to
say that it means much more to them.

A Hot Weather Dlty.
Bangor Commercially

There is one important lesson which
these days of intense heat should teach,
and one plain duty which every man
owes it to himself to obey. 1t is CON
tanned in two words: Go slow Mod
Grafton in all effort should be the aim.
OF course. work must be done The
store, the office. the farm and the mill
demand attention as much as at other
times of the year. 1t is a good time to
let up in effort so far as it can be done
without injury to business.
1t is a good time to take a vacation
not in hope of finding cooler spot, for
it is hot everywhere. The tension on
business and rush. however, can be
slackened to infinite personal advantage.
Even day or two's outing will bring
its cOmpensatiOns if the two weeks or
cannot now be had. But it you can't
take your vacation at this auspicious
moment. maintain while at your usual
work placid temper and not too
strenuous purpose. Don't fret don't al
low yourself to get angry. put aside as
many as possible of the thousand little
daily annoyances and so let the days of
the heated term pass as they will.
Or course this advise is gratuitous and
conventional but at the same time il is
sensible And because We believe it and
Know it is sensible and try to practice it.
Is why We recommend it to everybody.
Not that all can live up to it in these de-
pressing enervating days, but we are
sure all can do one thing-that is, don't
rush or fret

The announcement that farms for
5000 families are to be thrown open to
settlement by the government from its
public lands in Texas is a reminder of
the vast area of unoccupied public
lands to which Uncle Sam still holds
the title. There is enough of such
land to give every man, woman and
child now living in this country five
acres and still leave more than enough
to put in all of New England. Much
of this, to be sure, is not suitable for
cultivation under present conditions of
agriculture, but the greater part Of it
is coed grazing land and a large part
of the rest may be cultivated with the
help OF irrigation. If the incoming
hordes of Europeans would only seek
the unOccupied Lands i'm the gr at West
instead of herding in our largA cities,
the immigration problem would Se
much less formidable than it is at
present.

The new Japanese loan of $l5O,OOO,-

make IL total of nearly 100000 900
which the empire of the Mikado has

tn it would suffice for the rest of the
year of 1905. Either there was "A mis-
calculation or else shrewd Japan is
taking advantage of the favorable
money market to lay in a supply of
funds for the year 1906. Including
this latest loan a large part of which
will be subscribed in this country,
Japan has raised since the war began,
$3.50, 900, 900 in loans and about $780,
900, 600 in increased taxes, but with the
Indemnity that is expected from Rus

Japan's balance as the result of the

In spite of what many newspapers
throughout the country have said in
their headlines and editorial comments,
it is Maine and not New Hampshire
where the peace commissioners of
Japan and Russia will meet for their
deliberations. The government navy

quarters, is in the town Of k;ttery and
holly within the borders of Maine,
and not IN Portsmouth, n. H., as has
been persistcntly stated in many news
papers. Moreover. it IS probable that
the commissioners themselves, with
their suites, will board at some of the
summer hotels in Kittery or York. 1t
is true that the navy yard is often

The Island of SaahaIin.


There appears to be considerable
regarding the charac-
ter and value of the Island of Sagha-
lin which has recently been seized by
the Japanese forces. 1t is liable to
have a greater diplomatic than mate
rial value to Japan for all authorities
seem to agree that it is a cold inhos-
pitable portion of the earth's surface
with little to invite colonization aside
to be valuable. The chaerin which the
Russian government feels at the Jap
anese occupation of this island is prob
ably due more to the recognized loss of
a distinct point in tie forthcoming de-
alterations at the Peace Conference
than to any sentimental attachment TO
the territory involved. Russia has un-
questionably recognized fer some tire
rast that any peace terms which would
be acceptable to Japan would neces-
sarily involve the recession of the is
land of Saghaiin to that power. She
it as an argument against any possible
claim that Japan might make for war
indemnity. Possession is nine points
of the law in diplomacy, and with this
island already in her opponents hands
it could hardly be regarded as a Rus
sian asset in the discussion of peace
terms.
The island of Saghalin is go miles
long and from 20 to $50 miles wide. 1t
has an area of 24,5e0 square miles, and
is situated off the coast of Russian
Manchuria. Owing to the influence of
the sea of Okhatsk the climate is ex-
ceednely cold. 1t is covered for the
most part with dense forests, largely
coniferous. 1t has, at the present time,
nearly 1900 inhabitants about half of
whom are Russians. In order to force
colonization the island has been used
in recent years as a station for Rus
sian convicts, several thcuso,ds of
whom are engaged there in mining and
agricultural pursuits under the direc-
efforts toward colonization, however,
have always encountered great difficult
ties, and few people have voluntarily
selected the island for a home. The
soil suitable for cultivation is scattered
about the only crops that thrive are
certain kinds of kitchen products. Even
the pressure of the rapidly growing
japanese population would not it is
thought, avail to furnish this island
with a permanent population. 1t is.
however, very valuable to that power
from its strategic position, and the i'm
pOrtance of ITS forests, mines and its
