PROSPECTS FOR PEACE

The peace envOys of Russia and Japan have
had themselves interviewed so as to warn "the
other fellow what he must expect. The Column
bus PressPost takes this humorous view of the
situation:
This is encouraging to peace advocates
for 1t means that the representatives OF the
two countries are in entire accord. If they
continue to agree so harmoniously the result
will be satisfactory to all. They have made
a good beginning They have agreed that
there shall be no peace at any price OF
course this does not warrant the conclusion
either that there shall be some peace at no
price or peace at even half price In
another sense if there is to be no peace at
any price, we are unable to see why they are
meeting at all.
On the whole the prospect Of radical diff
ferences in the peace commission is not really
menacing However far apart the two gov
s6ernmentssmay be in the preliminaries, both
are evidently prepared to all rational II
means of reaching a settlement and it is
therefore practically foregone conclusion
that settlement will be reached.-Pittsburg
Leader.
With reference to the recent meeting of the
zemstvos and the determination Of the members
not to be intimidated by the grand dukes and
their police, suggests to the Columbus Press
Post that considerable progress toward liberty
is being made in Russia

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4.-Mrs.
Hortense Adams, reputed to be one of
the wealthiest citizens of Boise, Ida,
would like to find bell-boy widely
known as "KRnkakee Kid" Several
years ago Mrs. Adams stopped at the
Auditorium Annex in Chicago and
the boy answered to her calls several
times. His thoughtflness and kind
ness made deep impression on her.
She determined to better his lot in
life. But the "Kankakee Kid was
satisfied with his lot. So he refused
Mrs. Adams offer. Now Mrs. Adam 8
is making another effort to induce the
bell-boy to accept her generosity.
She is making systematic search, 1t
is said, of every city whore she thinks
he may be. When she finds him she
hopes to lay before the "Kankakes
Kid such an alluring proposition
that he will not again reject her offer.
The ''Kankakee Kid'' is known from
Chicago TO Denver, though his real
name has never been discovered.
Whenever efforts TO learn who he il
are made be returns an syasive answer.
Mrs. Adams is at the Albany and
tells the beIl-boys that when she finds
the one she is seeking she will start
