SECRETARY HAYS DIPLOMACY.

II was to the great honor Of Sec
rotary Hay that his diplomacy was al.
ways directed along peaceful lines.
As secretary of state he WAS con-
nected with the settlement OF the
terms OF peace between the United
States and Spain. Following that
came long series Of important mat
ters, including the negotiations with
China growing out Of the Boxer upris-
ing, the establishment of the open
door" OF trade In China, the reStric-
ton OF toe field Of operations In the
war between Russia and Japan. the
settlement OF the boundary dispute
between the United States and Cana.
da, and the negotiations of numerous
treaties Of commerce and OF arbitra.
ion vito other powers.
As the head of our state depart
ment he made the United States re.
spected throughout the world because
of its peaceful influence and Its hon
orable avoidance OF war. The re-
straining hand OF his diplomacy check
ed the aggression Of some Of the
European powers which were dispos-
ed to crush China by Imposing upon
1t burdensome conditions. The exam.
pie and the counsel OF the United
States alike favored moderation, and
China secured terms which In the
early stage OF the negotiations seemed
almost impossible.
In all this he WAS true to our nation
al traditions. The policy of the Amer
lean people TO pursue the paths of
peace and to aid other countries to do
likewise always found favor with him.
His diplomacy was nevertheless bold
and In some respects aggressive.
There was no fear TO assert the power
If the United States. This coutry was
respected not alone because Its coun-
sells were wise. but also because It's
ability to maintain Its place among
tne nations was recognized. There
was never any cringing In Secretary
Hays negotiations, but there also
was never any bullying or threatening.
Gentle. yet firm, he commanded atteu-
lion whenever he spoke. and In all the
capitals OF the old world It is recos-
nlzed today that this country has lost
great statesman and international
councils powerful peace and good
will among the nations Of the eartn.-

TWO NorAsle DECISIONS.

spool of the finest wire Is usually

the delicate substantiation of the
edges of bows. ruches and other fur
bishings.
There seems in the aid a growing
demand for stiffenlnss, although ~
vet the tendency is very subtle. On
very slight figures the nems Of dressae
are held out with some interlining,
such as very supple haircloth. crino-

GOVERNOR MAKES
A RAPID JOURNEY

Denver Republican.
Governor Mcdonald returned to bis
desk yesterday morning after one OF
the rapidest journeys ever taken by
al executive. He travelled thou
sand miles liz Colorado In IS hours.
This is but one Of several taunts he
mas taken. The moment the governor
got through with the legislative mat
tiers that required his care. be pro
ceeded to find out about state affairs
by personal contact.
Il find the state in splendid shape"
said the executive yesterday. The
farming parts have been enjoying big
crops and fairly good prices and the
people are most prosperous. In the
northern part of the state, which is
fast filling up, everybody feels good
and looks good.
IN the mining districts. there are
no disturbing Or discordant elements.
The ore shipments are large. Up in
I.eadville. huge tonnage Is going
out and in toe short time I had to

The smaller camps are also doing
well and all that Is needed to make
the cup of good things overflow, IL
the discovery of a new camp which ia
some years overdue"
| On the trip Just finished Governor
Mcdonald went out with the con
.ressional committee to Gunnisou,
Montrose and Grand Junction, to
Colorado Springs aud Cripple Creek.
| AT Grand Junction, the cAief axscu-
tive was much interested in the plan
of the Grand Junction people to have
federal aid In establishing nev
nigh line canal for the upper naesas.
The experts in the party were most
favorably impressed. In the area un.
der cultivation through irrigation, the
land is worth from $500 to q. 900 per
acre. Above certain point, 1riga-
ion cannot be bad and the land q II
stands is practically worthless.
There are more than $1,000 acres thst
could be turned into orchards a. val.
uable as the lands already watered
and the movement to get this done 10
on the right track and engineered By
the right people. There are mighty
possibilities for the Western slope
the governor believes.
Since he has been In once. Gov.
ernor Mcdonald has visited and close
!y scrutlnized the workings Of all the
state institutions and he has thor
| oughly familiarized himself with their
| needs. He has also had the time to
look into certain school lands 70 that
| he may be able TO decide on what
should be done with them whsa the
time comes.
Whenever there is a lull In the ex-
ecutive department, the governor will
