Count Lan1sdorfi. the foreign minis
ter, who can be depended upon to sup
port his recommendations before the
emperor against the contrary influ-
ef1ces.
a prominent Russian statesman, who
is qualified, to speak on the matter
said to the Associated Press:
THE emperor now sincerely desires
peace. In spite of somewhat strained
personal relations In the past between
the emperor and Nj. Witte. due to the
fact that the latter was never faWn-
Ing courtier. but always insisted ON
bluntly telling his imperial master
what he believed"
The emperor has always recognized
NJ Whites great ability and devotion
to the best interests of Russia. III was
gall and wormwood to his majesty,
however, to turn for the extrication OF
Russia from her difficulties to the very
man who predicted all the disasters
with which the throne has been beset
ms the result of this unfortunate war
and whose advice he SO long rejected?
The fact that the emperor has done
so proves the measures of his desire
for peace Nevertheless his majesty
is surrounded daily, even hourly, by
members Of the military party, many
OF whom are blindly chauvinistic. The
emperor cannot disregard the men who
control the power which supports the
throne, and the dynasty, and the peril
lies IN the danger that even Witte
may fail. However the negotiations
may be the Intentions Of the military
party will have to be reckoned with.

Gil was about to adjourn, ]. J. Ryan,
secretary of the Corn Belt Meat P'o-
ducers' Association, took the floor for
the closing remarks on the discussion.
He said the farmers had been sleep.
ing on their rights and had by fail ng
to appear before the executive couicil
at the tux assessment hearings b,en
themselves responsible for the ineaual-
tiles of the assessments to some extent
but declared that he would not al ow

Judging The present by the past, that 1t
will not be many days before, and In
fact. is soon as we are gone, that Judge
Cook will bring twenty-five farmers
in here who will swear that they have
been making $25 an acre on their l.nd.

railroad fare here, either, nor their ,wn

hearing and the crowd we're on their
feet and his opportunity was ost.
While Mr.. Ryan held the floor the
members Of the executive and all in
the room enjoyed most hearty laugh
at the expense OF Judge Cook
Judge Cook was the author OF one
idea mt these hearings that Gov. Cum
Minis confessed was a new one to him.
This was the claim that the transfer OF
land Is not good criterion by which
to Judge the value ~ farm land fol- the
reason that 1t is the cheap land that
Is mostly on the move from owner to
purchaser and not the better l,nds.
Gov. Cummins asked Secretary Ryan
OF the Corn Belt Meat Producer, his
idea and said that he had always had a
contrary opinion himself. Mr. ryan
answered that so far as the specul ators
are concerned they buy the cheap
lands but so far as the farmers are
concerned they buy the best. He said
that when an Illinois farmer comes to
Iowa he usually leaves good land
which he sells at good price consid-
erably above the selling price Of Iowa
land and having thus some extra mon
ey In his pocket he insists on having
the best land that he can And in the

the intrigues against him at court, but
he is big enough to believe that the
events of history will Justify the Wis

possible, as he considers that all the
energies of the government should be
directed to the solution of-the interna-
