of foreign affairs, aud her chief peace
plenipotentiary, as well, has arrived
in this country,and II. WItte will san

uaries will soon De here, but their
meeting naynot mean peace.
1t is reported ~thatJapan will soon
endeavor to borrow another 800, 000
600, and if this report be true, il
! means that Japan has rs confidence
that peace will come out of Ports
mouth, New Hampshire.

cept peace at any price, and the feel

LIBERTY IN FRANCE

The French Fourth of July is cele-
brated on July IA, the anniversary
of the destruction in 1889 of the
Bastlle. The destruction Of the cd
fortress of despotism was the be-
ginning of a series of events that
will be felt as long as our present
civilization survives. 1t was, in fact,
the first positive steps taken among
the powers towards liberty and equa.
political rights. The republic Then
founded lasted, at least, in name, I'M
til 1904. Then came the first empire,
which lasted until 1915, gnd it wa
followed by the Bourbon monarchy
which held out until 1913. The see

MIR. HYDE STEPS DOWN
AND OUT.

The acceptance of the res
ignatiQn of John Hyde, statis-
tician of the Department OF
Agriculture, is in its last analysis q
confession that the estimates Of the
Department have been doctored,
and that chief man of figures has
been negligent. The chances are that
Nj. Hyde's resignation viii later Oh
be followed by thato of the easy-goiug
guIlible Mr.. Wilson who is serving
a third term as Secretary of Agrlcul-
ture. No n questions Mr.. Wilson'S
honesty, but all feel that a keen.
alert man is needed at n head OF
the Agricultural Department.
Better still it be to cut off al
guessing at acreage or condition O
crops. Whatever actually facts CAL
betgathered will prove acceptable,
but the producers ana the trade III
general will put no more confidence
in more guesses. Estimates based Oh
n sided reports scarcely rank with
an honest guess.
The cotton scandals Wiz have
served the country wei if they Ieao
to al exposure, and then toan ending
of the entire system Of guessing
prospectively the crop OF The
country.

The Nram also got to a point 2894
miles from the Pole. This was in
1895. If Peary succeeds IN pushing
his ship through the ice packs in Sep
temher to Cape Hecla, he will win
ter but 420 miles from the Pole. and
it will be strange indeed if, aided by
the natives and their dogs, he can
not overcome in sledges that gap.
Ten days of fortunate Arctic travel

Jerome and tho Millions.

Making due allowance for all the
bosses, political machinists and heelen
and henchmen In every city and every
State OF the Union, there are probably
about thirty-fve million male Americans
and about thirty-eight million female
Americans whom the success OF Mr..
JERoME's present campaign would
nightly rejoice.
1t is an experiment OF national interest,
with the sympathies Of the onlookers
everywhere overwhelmingly in favor OF
the fearless challenger.
First, because public sympathy Is
always with the brave man OF straight
forward methods; secondly, because
Americans love an energetic singleheart;
thirdly, because, there is growing
consciousness that never before in the
history OF this country has there been
such need Of a demonstration OF the
power Of the people to select for the
enforcement Of law and the prosecution
OF criminals men who shall owe nothing
to the political organizations and the
grafters therein.
The foregoing figures Of Mr.. JERoMR's
backing OF friends and well wishers in
his fight for an absolutely independent
District Attorneys Office are merely
our estimate. made of, hand. Very likely
they are too small by million or two.

What, Again ?

The Mindanao Herald, newspaper
published at Zamboanga, where Major
General LEONARD WooD has his head
quarters when on duty, has begun to
attack Secretary TAFT and to boom
General WooD as the supreme authority
on affairs in the Philippines. The Zambo-
anga journals thoughts on the subject
OF the relative qualifications Of the two
men are thus summarized.
Tho article soes on 70 say that General woop Il
thoroughly ntted 70 tell the President few things
about the Philippines. and how Secretary TAFT fs
not UP 70 tho Job OF taking OF the interests OF
the people over there. Tho article declares that
General WOOD u the only man In tho Islands who
has the capacity for the work. and that no
the absolute essentials 70 successful administration
tho perfect confidence Of his oountrymen here
and At home"
This has singulariy familiar sound.
1t might almost be passage from that
long ago suppressed volume, AS 1t Is
in the Philippines, the treatise in which
a celebrated student Of character ex-
pressed his views as follows:
The difference between TAFT ana WOOD is tnas
the former Is politician and trimmer, while tho
latter u diplomat and statesman. and II Is TO DO
hoped that, In American interests. such man as
WOOD will succeed TAFT In the Philippines. and
such Government as was founded In Cuba will
succeed the present topheavy organisation.
Such a man las LEONARD wooDl would have been
Infinitely more satisfactory 70 tho natives and I'm
questionaby more 30 TO tho Americans"
Is this mere coincidence, or Is there.

the election Of Prince CHARLES To be
