FROSTS RESULTED
In Some Parts of the Country From
Yesterdays Cold Wave.

The low area mentioned yesterday
and which caused rains and snow in
the lake region moved slowly across
the lakes into Canada The high
wave in the west changed considerably
without much motion to the east. Its
center divided into two heads, one re-
naming in the mountains, the other
moving slowly to South Dakota, its
eastern border reaching across the
Mississippi river, and gave us the fair
and cool weather as predicted, leav-I
ing its influence over the entire regioni
west of the Alleghenies, except in the
extreme south, the temperature falling
Is or 20 degrees with light frosts as far
south as Texas and killing frosts in
Kansas.
The low area which came off the
west gulf moved rapidly to the north
east, and reached the ocean over
Georgia and the Carolinas. 1t gained
considerably in intensity, caused rains
in its course and as lar north as Wash
ington City.
BY the influence of the extensive
high in the west, fair and continued
cool weather will prevail today and
possibly tomorrow.

PRESIDENT IN AN
AWKWARD PLACE
IN REGARD TO THE "oPEN DOOR"
IN MOROCCO.
German Ambassador Inquiries What
the United States is Willing to
Do in the Matter

Washington, d. c., April 5.-The
question of assisting in maintaining
the open door" in Morocco has been
put squarely up to President Roose-
welt. He must indicate just exactly
how far he is willing to go in that
direction.
Baron Won Sternberg, the German
ambassador, today called on Secretary
Taft and said he was instructed by
Emperor William to ascertain how
far the president will go toward assur-
ing the open door in Morocco. The
secretary did not feel authorized to
answer this query, and forwarded the
entire matter to the president for
reply.
The German emperor is evidently
determined to make an effort in the
direction of breaking up the Anglo
French agreement respecting Nor
occo German interests are said to be
jeopardized.
President Roosevelt is placed in an
awkward position. Several days ago
Baron Won Sternberg called on him
and asked him what he thought Of
the open door principle being applied
to Morocco. The president is beliey-
ed to have approved the proposition.
not knowing then of the emperor's
intended visit to Tangier and his
consultation with the Moorish sultan.
This partial commitment on the
presidents part is now followed by the
plain inquiry as to how far he will go.
Up to this time the Moorish ques-
tion has attracted no attention here.
When Ion Perdicaris was imprisop-
ed by bandits, Secretary Hay invoked
the good officers Of France to secure
his release. In this way the influence
of France was recognized, but it is
understood to have gone no further.
American commercial interests are
said to be amply protected in Nor
occo.

nsnuneiation is Necessary for Genius
in Literature.
Why is SO much of our present lit
arary output SO unrelated to litera-
tdre. 30 depressingly banal, SO devoid
Of distinction, power and vitality? Is
the answer merely that greatness is
rare In all ages. and this chances to
be . period Of exceptional sterility?
Or Is 1t the result of the marked vul-
garity Of prevailing ideals? Not only
our writer's measure success by popu-
larity, but the trend of criticism itself
is to magnify the Importance Of
wide appeal.
A high degree Of excellence has
never won quick or wide applause;
witness Shakespeare. Milton. Shelley,
Keats. Browning. Swinburne. 1t can
not be too often or too emphatically
repeated that literature, real additions
to the realms of letters. must forego
cheap successes. A dimcult and de-
termined withdrawal from prevailing
ideals IL demanded Of those authors
who would fain see English letters
reinstated in the realm Of bartered
glory. Before we can have another
poet like Browning we must have
another man content to do his work
unknown for twenty years and will
ing to pay for his own publishing. Be-
fore we have second Tennyson we
shall have to have another man who
shall as well understand that there
are no cheap and quick methods Of
forcing the poetic faculty. that the best
Of our thoughts come to US in state
Of wise passivity and reverent walt
ing. The superficial and deeper parts
Of our nature do not function at one
and the same time. A Mary and q
Martha are not combined in their
highest powers in one personality.
Greatness demands remuneration. We
cannot nap around with the davis and
yet be an eagle with eye fixed on the
sun. All really fine production. says
Harper's Weekly. demands a definite
choice and firm adhesion, and it bears
no nearer relation to popular ap-
plause and liking than a frog in a
swamp to nightingale in an oak
grove.
