farmers want is some warm weather

The farmers hay" learned that they
reap more of this corn when it APP

Politicians

are beginning to wear that good na- tured smile so characteristic of the smooth tongued office holders who are always ready to promise anything ana everything under the sun to the ward tools and curb-sto politicians. But they also have the happy faculty ol being very absent minded after S'eS have been elected. You'll never see good living voters eve mean the men who drink good tep take any stock Ill pclitical promises. The heelers Wh" believe such promises recall 1e" lines thus: They're like the man who promised
 the sun. The "heelcrs' wondered it did not
 come.
 The reason is. I'll tell to thee, They drank bad whiskey instead Of
 good tea
 Now for promises made about two yeacS ago. Did they promise 10 "eep the streets Tn the condition as at pres ent? Did they promise to let the lIo.. ley company spoil all our paNelh"il'S' Did they promise to lower onr t'Ats and a hundred and one other promises: No' They were political promises.

Inglaterra y ell Jap6n

Telegrafian de Londres, fecha Is,
dando a entender que Inglaterra y ell
Jap6n han frmado una nueva alianza.
La noticia es de la Prensa Asociada,
| y al parecer autentica. Ell ministerio
de Estado no ha querido corroborarla
nj negarla ofcialmente. Dicese que
fue frmada tres dias antes de suspen-
der las sesiones ell Parlamento, que 10
fueron ell dla II, y que Ia couferencia
de Portsmouth no fue considerable
obstaculo. puesto que los terminos
del tratado en- NADIA afectan su acci6n.
Ell nuevo tratado de alianza abarca
puntos no comprendidos en- ell que
reemplaza, especialmente por cuanto
reconoce Ell protectorado del Jap6n So
bre Corea y otros particulares que no
habla sido neceSario incluir en- ell
antigua.
En- algunos respectos Ell nuevo pacto
es mas limitado que ell antique. Por
ejemplo, Ia clausula del que ahora
termina por la que el Japon estaba
obligado tomar la defensa de Gran
Bretaf1a siempre que esta naci6n fuese
atacads por mas de una potencia, es
modifcada en- Ell sentido de que Ia
obligation del Japon Sc concreta
cooperar en- la defensa de las colonies
inglesas en- Ell Extreme Oriente y en-
ell Paci6co
Sobre este pupto hay algo sin ex-
clarecer. 81 la asistencia del Jap6n
en- la nueva forma contin1a Siendo
obligatoria solamente en- case de ser
atacada Inglaterra por dos mas po-
tencias, entonces es indudable que ell
Japon SAGA mas ventajas del segundo
tratado que del prithero, por cuanto
que sus obligaciones5 disminuyen en-
tanto que las de su aliada siguen siens
do las miSmaS.
Por otra parte. recordando que In
glaterra ha retirado ca<i todas sus
fuerzas navales del Extreme Oriente,
parece probab BILE que cuents con la
ayuda del Jap6n a1n en- el case de
ser atacada en- aquellos parajes por
una sola potencia. Para su defensa
en- Europa no necesita cooperadoreS,
al menos por ahora.
#Dicese por otro conducto que ell de
la Prensa Asociada que Ia negotiation
del nuevo p4cto infuy6 en- la politica
de Gran Bretafia al extreme de ser
|causa di1ecta de que Sc aplace la di :
solucion del Parlamento y continuase
Mr.. Balfour en- Ell poder.
Ell Rey Eduardo quiso arreglar este
|negocio con los ministries actuales,
ssbiendose que los liberales no tienen
el mismo concepto que los conserva =
dores sobre 10 que son y deben ser las
relaciones entire lnglaterra y ell Japon.
Arg1yese que 81 los liberales suben
al poder dentro de seis meses, no Sc
atreveran a intervenir en- la alianza
anglo japonesa. por mas que, 81 la
oportunidad llegase, podrian mostrar
menos anhelo de ponerla en- practica
que Sus adversarios.
En- este. sin embargo, infuira mu-
cho la persona quien cupiese en-
suerte la direction de las reIaclones
exteriores.
ST lie tocase a I'm liberal imperialista
de las tendencias de lord Rosebery, la
ejecuci6n del pacto no estaria sujeta
a contingencies.
Entiendase que ell tratado Sc hara
p1blico cuando haya terminado la con-
ferencia de Portsmouth.
