Peace and Reform In Russia.

Recent reports from Russia are not
cheering to those who We're led to be
lieve that peace was certain to be the
torerunner OF important governmental
reforms. There are abundant assur-
ances from high sources that the navy
will be rebuilt and the army reorgan
lied, but there is deep and ominous
silence on the subject of enlarging
popular rights. On the contrary, it is
limited darkly that the ear regrets the
liberal wording of his manifesto con-
yoking a national conference and is
disposed to amend 1t In such a manner
as to rob 1t of any significance what
ever.
1t is a matter of popular belief that
NJ. Whites sklllful treatment of the
Jewish question, especially his sympa-
thetic attitude toward the representa-
tive Hebrews who appealed to him on
his recent visit to America, will enable
Russia to enter the financial market as
successful borrower. Large loans
will undoubtedly be negotiated. There
is every reason to believe that America
will be a party to these financial oper-
atlons. There is not the slightest as
surance that this good American mon
ey will be devoted to the best interests
of the commonalty of the Russian EN-
Dire. There is not even a pretense
1hat 1t will be used to extend educa-
lion, provide domestic Improvements
or resuscitate the cOuntry's languish
ing industries.
The suggestion is repellent, but there
is reason to believe that the cause of
reform has not been advanced by the
making of peace. There are those who
believe that Russia was on the high
road to emancipation from the lntolera
Bile slavery which has bound her peo-
pie and that now the chain Is rerivet-
ed. Freed from the Asiatic incubus,
the car will be less inclined to listen
TO the demands of his outraged sub
jects and more willing to accept the
baleful counsel of the self seeking
grand dukes. That at least Is the pes
simistic view taken by some of the
most prominent Liberals in the empire.

Be 1t ever so humble,
There's no place like home.

The American home idea is too well
grounded in the needs of human ma
ture to be in danger of destruction.
The American mother, the goddess of
the home, remains, and the one object
of her devoted life is the welfare Of
her offspring. A real home shelters
them in youth and attracts them in
later years. 1t engenders the home
making habit, and the masses Of this
country will never cease to Individual
lie and to idealize their place of dwell
ing.

Lord Byron on Poetry.

From fragments in Byron's recently
published confessions it seems that this
gifted singer did not take himself serl-
ously as literary genius. He wrote:
can never get people to understand
that poetry Is the expression of excited
passion and that there Is no such thing
as life of passion any more than con-
tinuous earthquake or an eternal fever.
/ by no means rank poetry or poets high
In the scale of intellect This may look
like affectation. but it is my real opinion.
1t Is the lava of the imagination whose
eruption prevents an earthquake.
Byron posed as man of the world
and had little patience with the popu-
lar misconception of himself as "a
misanthropical gentleman in wolfskin
breeches given to fierce monosyllables"
in daily speech.

From Panama comes the allegation
that General Ben Butler once proposed
to President Lincoln during the civil
war to send the colored soldiers to dtg
the isthmian canal. This is hint that
the negro problem of the south ana
that of digging the canal might be set
tied at one stroke. But 1t happens
that the canal Butler had in mind was
the Dutch Gap canal, little war en-
terprise of his own.

The conflict In the east will go down
to history as the Russo-Japanese war,
the name of the defeated country be-
ing placed first. The same rule OBJ
tanned with respect to the Franco-Prus-
sian war and the Spanish-Americau
war. In each case 1t appears to be n
mere matter of euphony, as is quickly
shown by putting the name of the vic
tor first in the combination.

The best results in bread making are
obtained from using Peach Blossom
flour. Ask for it and take no other.
You may be urged TO take something
else which is represented to be just as
good, at the same price. This is an old
trick The reason for this is that there
is a larger profit on the other Hour
Peach Blossom is sold at a smaller mar
gin of profit, but at the same price as
inferior grades. 1t took the prize over
all other Hours at the Worlds fair at
St. Louis. Always call for Peach
Blossom, and take no other.

America,a Model Homes.

IL the social moralists whose point of
view is the crowded city have taken
note on the spot during the seasons
''old home" festivals they must have
returned to town very much enlighten-
ed as to the persistence of the Amerl.
can home idea in spite of ruthless so
cial progress. The home as our moth
ers and grandmothers knew 1t remains
prominent if not the dominant fea-
ture of American rural life. All Amer
lea has not moved into an apartment
house or fat, and the signs are that
it will not for generations to come.
Millions of families in this country
live today in the houses where those
of the same blood and generally of the
same name lived 80 to 100 years ago.
With the house and land have come
down the old traditions and the old
spirit. The home is kept up as 4
family nest, refuge. There boys
and girls" of two and maybe three
generations gather to romp and be hap
by, to mourn and rejoice, to be mar
ried or to give in marriage. The fire
side today may be stove instead of
fireplace, but the social warmth is
there still, although romantic appoint
ments be lacking. Paper now covers
the old whitewashed walls and bright
prints crowd grandmother's oil por-
trait above the mantel. Even furnish
ings and bric-a-brac from the depart
ment stores adorn the parlor and sit
ting room, but somehow the old place
cannot be disguised Internally any more
than externally, where paint and nu-
merous additions only serve to accentu-
ate the ancient and picturesque archl
lecture.
And the modern built, modern fur
nished rural home Is only change In
form of the home of the past. 1t is a
place to be happy, to grow strong and
to come back to when the world gives
the restless, pleasure seeking boys and
girls the cold shoulder, as it is bound to
do first or last. Faithful, earnest, care
laden men and women still toll and
economlZe to keep up a home for the
children" and the children's children
come in for rich share of the bless
ing. This Is the creation John Howard
Payne had in mind when be said:

HE SUES ATTORNEY DANFORD
Aftermath of Prosecution of DR.. o. M
Justice Comes Out in Superior
Cnurt

AS an aftermath of the prosecution
of DR.. o. M. Justice of Los Angeles on
a charge of performing a criminal
operation, suit for the recovery of $110
was instituted yesterday by II. T..
Johnson a steam filter, against At
torney w. j. Danford. Attorney Dam
ford was unable to appear in court
yesterday and Justice Young postponed
the hearing several days.
The criminal proceeding against DR..
Justice was brought several months
ago, and was dismissed in the lower
court. Johnson was the complaining
witness in the case, alleging that DR..
Justice had performed a criminal
operation upon Mrs. Johnson.
Attorney Danford represented john
son in the case, and according to
Johnson's statements, he gave Danford
$11O for expenses incidental to the
prosecution. Later, after the case had
been dismissed, johnson and the at
torney had a falling out, and Johnson
asked for the money. Danford is al
legged to have given Johnson a check
for $100.50 but to have stopped pay
ment on it before it could be cashed.
Johnson has brought suit for the re-
coVery of his money.

a large proportion of the patients lying

ACCEPTANCE OF REBATES.
Language of the Act Quoted to Sustain
Secretary Hitchcock.

The following statement relative to the
opinion of Controller Tracewell on the sub
ject of reductions in railroad rates on ac-
has been given out at the Interior Depart
ment
Recent articles have appeared in the
public press with reference to certain pro-
posed concessions and agreements on the
part of railroad companies to transport
material for use in the building of dams
for the reclamation service under the act
of June II, 1902. 1t is learned at the In
terror Department that the Secretary, be-
fore taking action, submitted the matter to
the assistant attorney general for that de-
partment, whose duty it is under the law
to advise the Secretary on legal questions.
The question involved a consideration of
the interstate commerce act The second
section of that act contains certain 1nhibi-
lions relative to common carriers granting
special rates, rebates, etc. Section Y or
the act provides that nothing in this act
shall apply to the carriage, storage or
handling of property free, or at reduced
rates, for the United States The opinion
was, in effect, that the Secretary was au-
thorized to make an agreement for the
proposed concessions in favor or the gov
eminent. This opinion was approved by
the Secretary, and he says 1t was the more
acceptable to him because it would result
in the saving of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the government The correct
ness of this view, however, having recent
" been questioned by a law officer of an
other department, although such law officer
was without jurisdiction in the matter, the
Secretary of the Interior. out of an abund-
ance of caution, has referred the whole
matter to the Attorney General, before
whom it is now pending for his opinion"
