this demand the way was opened for
terms of peace which would be accep-
table to both nations.
The peace terms are as follows ;
Russia cedes protectorate over Korea
with all that il implies; evacuation Of
Manchuria, leaving Japan clear field.
cession to China and Japan of Eastern
Chinese Railroad: cession to Japan of
Port Arthur and Dalny; cession to Jap
an of rights in Liao-Tung Peninsula;

ey indemnity TO cover costs of war; its

compromise dividing the island; its de-
mand for the interned Russian warships;
its demand that Russia hereafter limit
its naval strength on the Pacific sea-
board.

disastrous to all. This is TO be regretted
In an interview Mr.. Walter w. Crosby,
the highways engineer, says that a
sample of good roads demonstrates to
rural settlers the desirability Of such
improvements and the possibility of
having these important conveniences.
When some of the roads in the coun-
ties are improved il is reasonable to
suppose that the demand for them will
grow until Maryland is covered with
net work of first-class highways. Good
roads enhance the value of land in agri-
cultural districts by making the mar

THE CAMPAIGN EMBLEM.

The approaching election brings up.
along with the panorama of parades,
marches. speechmaking. music and fire.
works. visions of sundry campaign EN-
blems.
Less than eighty years ago the first
campaign emblem made its appearance
in the shape of small finger ring. Ii
was the year John Quincy Adams was
running for President, and the ring was
simply inscribed with his name and the
date. That was an unassuming begin
ming. Now the campaign emblem can
be seen, and sometimes almost heard.
II consists of huge banners, bearing the
pictures and names of the men who are
the only hope of the people, stretched
across busy throughfares; of electrical
devices. kites. flags. balloons, ct cetera.
II consists of buttons, large and small,
embellished with pictures of the candi-
dates; of liberal sections of purple or
red. white and blue ribbon hung with a
gilded frame containing pictures of the
candidates; of handkerchiefs in fact. of
most anything imaginable that is suited
to personal decoration; and new ones
are always coming to the front.
There is noting like American enthu-
siasm. especially American campaign
enthusiasm, of which the campaign EN-
blem is indisputable evidence.
