Another splendid entertainment
was given at the Park school build
ing last night by the pupils of the
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and

almost filled the large auditorium,
and all present were well pleased
with the efforts of the children. The
songs were we'll rendered and the
drills quite gracefully executed. The
recitations, Mother at Concert

excellentIy given by Miss Ida Ken
nedy and Miss Eloise Davis respec-
lively.
Before the entertainment began

able crop that can be raised, for all
faIfa Is the child of the ages. The
coloring of this beautiful plant made
Greece famous for its 'yerdured
hills. and it was in the height of
cultivation four hundred and fifty
years before Christ. 1t was the food
upon which the Caesars fed the
horses OF the Roman army. In all
OF the Latin countries it has been
cultivated since the dawn of ciyili-
zation. Ii seems to me that it should
be more extensively cultivated right
in these beautiful valleys, and on
these mesas water should be devel-
oped by pumping. Bee culture
should follow the planting of greater
areas of alfalfa, and the feeding of
mutton, beef and bacon would natur-
ally result as industries that would
bring prosperity to any section.

Mr.. VIM. Schuster sustained a
fracture of the knee cap yesterday
afternoon at a house in East End
where he was doing some tin work.
He had started to town in his de-
livery wagon when his horse began
kicking and attempted to run away.
Mr. Schuster held on to the reins
and pulled the animal up against a
fence. The animal went over the
fence. breaking the shafts out of
the wagon and tearing up the har-
ness. Mr.. Schuster was hurt by be-
ing thrown over the dashboard of
the wagon II is believed the in
jury TO the knee was inflicted by
the horse kicking him. Besides the
hurt referred to Mr.. Schuster re-
ceived a number of bruises on the

Between the two extremes, opposition to all
expansion on the one hand, and love of con-
quest and excitement, on the other, stand most of
the able statesmen of our day. If political leaders
want forward movement in particular direc-
ticn it is likely to be for some purpose not un-
related to the countrys ordnar- desires Japan
apparently understands very well what new ter
ritory is useful to her and will not try for any
other. English Imperialism, what there is OF
it, is nowadays far from the Imperialism of ITS.
1. is led by reason. 1t is thing in Canada,
another in Thibet, but everywhere it endeavors
to get along with no more arrogance or despotism
than the conditions force. Russia more than
any other country is genuinely divided about all
the questions roughly grouped under the heading
of imperialism, but Mr.. Witte and Baron Rosen
probably represent mo1> of the nation than Count
Cassini and the grand dukes. Germany, as rep
resented by her kaiser, is the most expressive of
mere old-time military assertion and aggression,
but even in William reason guides. He knows
that Germany needs expansion almost anywhere
and he also knows enough to keep his mailed
fist from hitting anybody.-Coers.
The women of Japan are no less ambitious
than their husbands and brothers. and during
the last month the movement for women's suff-
rage has grown very strong in the island EN-.
pire.

So far as has yet appeared, no special fault of
any railroad employee was responsible for the ex-
plosion of a car of dynamite at Harrisburg last
week, with the consequent terrible loss ct life
among the passengers of passing express train.
And yet in a broad sense the railroad company
was to blame because of the very presence Of
car load Of dynamite in freight train at that
time and place. While in still broader sense,
it is not the railroad company that is to blame
so much the laws of the nation which permit
shipments of this character to be made without
adequate regulation. Senator Elkins, when trav-
cling in Germany year two ago, observed
the extreme with which explosives were
handled the railroads there and in his jour-
neys in this country he Las several times been
in dangerous propinquity to car loads of dyna-
mite. Putting two and two together he intro
duced bill in congress last winter regulating
the transportation of explosives but the powder
manufacturers and some of the railroads object
ed, and the bill slumbereS in committee. The
Harrisburg accident should furnish the momen
tum that seems usually to be needed under
established system of legislation for the enact
ment of good law. Some of the suggestions
that have been made are that all dynamite and
other explosives should be specially packed under
prescribed rules; that the in '-hich they
carried should be prominently labeled that
these cars should have floors set with steel rails
to prevent crushing; that the s.ould be
carried only at the rear of short trains or better
still, as special trains of single cars, and that
the greatest care should be taken to have the
cars detached on sidngs when other trains are
passing.

The Illinois freight rates which are now being
considered anew by the state board of railroad
and warehouse commissions IS serve to call at
tention once more to the arbitrary manner In
which freight rates are fixed. Railroad officials
talk about their scientific tariffs, but nothing is
palmer than that while there is much method
in those tariffs there is very little principle. The
Illinois distance tariffs, as fixed by the commits
sion average, we are told, As per cent higher
than the scale of rates in effect in Central
Freight Association territory. We find therefore,
such curiosities the rates to Nation. From
Detroit, a distance of 345 miles, the rate is 43
cents, while from Chicago, 172 miles, it is Al
cents. Many similar instances are given. Chi
cago shippers as result, suffer under serious
discrimination, which is essentially arbitrary in
its nature They want the state board to revise
its former distance tariff to suit present needs.
Moreover another kind of arbitrary dis
elimination is well illustrated in this case. The
Illinois Manufacturers Association is in favor
of the maintenance of the present rates. The rea-
son is that the manufacturers of the state enjoy
low commodity tariffs on supplies and materials,
such as lumber and coal, which more than offset,
as far as they concerned the distance dis
ordinations They fear that if the distance dis
elimination is removed their special privileges on
the other line will be taken away from them by the
railroads. The discrimination here is between
commodity and commodity
It was announced on May 10 that Count
Cassni the Russian ambassador to the United
States, was to be promoted to Madrid and
would be succeeded at Washington by Baron
Rcsen, who minister at Toxic until diplo
macy at that capital became superluou;. Baron
Rosen is understood to represent the party in
Russian that wished to keep the peace with Japan
and Count Cassni is classed with the war party
The change appears, therefore, to have certain
significance from the point Of view of Russian
politics.

SOME PROGRESS WAS MADE
American Minister to Panama Saws
Work on the Canal Has
Been Going On.

Washington. Feb. 4.-Tn connection with
the lack Of public information as to the
status of the work Of canal digging on
the Isthmus of Panama and as to the
exact amount of work executed so far
by the Americans since they took up the
task. the American minister to Panama.
has after consultation with Chief Engi-
neer Wallace and close personal inspec-
ton OF the route of the proposed canal
submitted to the state department a re-
port upon this subject The communities
ton is practically a brief summary of
the vast amount of statistics and facts
that will eventually be produced by the
canal commission showing the actual con-
struction on the canal ACCOMPLISHED since
July I last. when Mr.. Wallace took
charge of the engineering department.
The most important statement in tho re-
port * this: eff the next six months
show q progress corresponding TO that
of the past six. IL is the conviction Of the
best engineers in Panama that a sea
level canal can be constructed in ten
years and be ready for large vessels.
The report says there is no ground for
the current reports that little had been
accomplished in advancing the cOnstruc-
tion of the canal during the past six
months.
