Louisiana the disease is becoming more virulent.
The latest move in the campaign against the mos
quito is the purchase of large quantities Of salt
with which to salt stagnant pools and thus pre-
vent further breeding of the insects.
District Attorney Jerome, who has always been
something of free lance in politics, has created
a sensation by announcing that he wishes a re-
election, but will not accept nomination from
either political party. He has asked New York
voters to bring about his nomination by petition
and they going to do it.
We observe that John D. Rockefeller will prob
ably give Chicago University $5O,OOO,OOO in the
hope of making it "the greatest institution of
learning in the world" He may make it the rich
est, and it still lack very much of being the
greatest. It takes something more than money
for real greatness in men or institutions, and we
do not believe that Chicago ever become
really great university long the first idea
has regarding the institution is of it as the rep
resentative and child of the sanctimonious Stan
dard Oil monopolist.

Good for Mr.. Jordan.

AS long Mr.. Harvie Jordan is at the head
of the Cotton Association it will never be pack
horse for politicians and Office seekers Mr.. Jor-
dan has put his foot down hard this. In the
constitution he was instrumental in having
clause inserted that if any ofceholder in the Cot
ton Association accepts political office or even
becomes candidate for one he forfeits his Office
in the cotton association. Mr.. Jordan has de-
manded the resignation of several officers in
Georgia on this account, and high-up officer in
North Carolina will likely be called to taw the
same thing "This is business movement" Mr..
Jordan says, "and we not going to put out time
and money into scheme to benefit the country
and allow it to be used stepping stones by selfish
people for their ends. This has been the
death of good many farmers organizations. and
we are determined to steer clear of it"-Monroe
Journal.

crpPENT EVENTS: THE TREND OF THINGS
AS WE SEE IT.

This is written before the report of Saturday s
,,oace conference reaches lis, and that may ma
tcriallv modify the situation, but the outlook for
noacc at the time is decidedly gloomy. At first
there was hope in President Roosevelt's proposed
connromise--which was that Japan yield her
formal demand for indemnity Cor for paying ia
nans war expenses which is the same thing), also
her demand for the surrender of interned Russian
uarshps and the limitation of Russia's naval ac-
tivitv in the Far East, provided Russia would buy
hack the northern half of Sakhalin Island for
120OOOOOOO yen-about $6O0,000,000. But
Baron Witte says he can never consent to this
'.Not one copeck for tribute" is his watchword,
and he is quoted as having said that not even the
Gar can force him into signing treaty violating
this principle. The adjournment from Wednes-
day until Saturday, really for the purpose
of obtaining final instructions from the Russian
and Japanese governments, and we shall give in
a postscript the latest news obtainable as &C
to press.

The Foundation of National Life.

In modern industrial civilization there are
many grave dangers to counterbalance the sp len
dors and the triumps. It is not good thing to
cities grow at disproportinate speed relative
ly to the country; for the small land owners, the
men who own their little homes, and therefore to
very large extent the men who till farms, the
men of the soil, have hitherto made the founda-
tion of lasting national life in every state; and
if the foundation becomes either too weak or too
narrow the superstructure, matter how at
tractive, is in imminent danger of failing.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt to Mothers Congress.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-08-29

Your life journey leads by a way you know not.
1t is best you should not know. When you
to the rugged hills climb them. Enjoy the beauti-
ful landscapes as you pass them. And rest
sured that at the end of your journey every good
thing that has entered into your aspiration, plan.
and purpose will greet you in that world where
hope is changed into fruition, and the loneing
for perfection shall find it's realization. Your
highest dreams of spiritual purity, exaltaton and
blessedness now are sure prophecies of what you
shall be then. What you put into dream
here, God will put into your destiny there
Bishop o. P. Fitzgerald

which Senator Martin has held for two terms
The result of the primary was defeat for the
Governor, Senator Martin being elected to sue
ceed himself by $4,000 majority. Governor Mon
tague is much the ADLER speaker and would have
been more commanding figure in the United
States Senate, but Senator Martin is a more eff
hclent organizer and has won popularity at home
by looking after Virginia's interests so strenu-
ously In the matter of appropriations and ap-
pointments. Charges that Martin was the rail
road candidate might have injured his candidacy
had not Montague also been put upon the defen-
slve by Martins nter-charges. Sngularly
enough Mr.. Swanson, whom Montague defeated
for the Gubernatorial election four years ago
Montague representing himself then as now as
the anti-machne candidate-was nominated for
Governor last week, Judge Mann, who advocated
some advanced temperance legislation, running
next, and Mr.. Willard, a millionaire candidate,
following The largest majority-3OO OOO-was
won by j. D. Eggleston, Jr candidate for Super
intendent of Public Instruction.
The personnel of the ticket being settled, the
candidates have now to face the most determined
Republican opposition the Virginia Democrats
have known for many years. Governor Montague
has announced that he will not sulk but stump the
State earnestly as ever in behalf of the nomi-
neeS,

Postscript-The Peace Conference.

The meeting of the peace ENJOYS Saturday was
not decisive. The Gar delivered his ultmatum-
no indemnity and no cession of land except south
ern Sakhaln. Japans answer will probably be
given before this number Of The Progressive
Farmer reaches our readers, and then it will be
known at last whether it is to be peace or war in
the Far East.

Russian and Japanese Affairs.

Russian anu JdPauSSe
A daily contemporary thus summarizes what
had been agreed on by the peace ENJOYS before
adiournment Russia has agreed to cede the
Chinese Eastern Railroad (between Harbin and
Port Arthur to China, retaining her line across
nothern Manchuria to Vladivostock and refer
ing Japan to China for something like $1OO0OO,
600. Both sides agree to evacuate Manchuria,
respect China's neutrality and maintain the open
door. Russia is also ready to pay Japan for the
maintenance of 100000 prisoners of war. ia
pans 'predominating influence" in Korea is fully
recognized and she is accorded special fishing
rights in the Siberian coast. 1t is intimated that
Russia would have assented to the surrender of
the informed warships if Japan had shown
disposition to meet her views regarding the
two main issues"
What gives most hope of peace now is the fact
that it would be difficult for Japan to borrow
money to continue the war very much longer
while Russa's credit is practically exhausted
1t looks to US, however, as if another sweeping
Japanese victory is bound to follow the breakup
of the peace conference and that the cannot
be prolonged The japanese General, Oyama
has about 100000 earnest Japanese with which to
face 100000 half-starved Russians-who would be
further dsgruntled by the failure to end war
IN which they are not interested.
Nor does it seem likely that the Gar has won
much support by his creation of sham National
Assembly. This Congress is to be elected by the
people, property qualification for voters being
liked but the Assembly cannot bind the Gar,
cannot pass any laws, only talk, and only
talk just long as its talk pleases the Gar for
ne has power to dismiss it at pleasure. 1t is with
this absolutely miserable makeshift that the Gar
answers his peoples demand for a representative
granting their request with reser-
vatlons and restrictions that makes the grant as
much of nullity as the old lady's yielding in the
classic lines:
Mother may l go out to swim4
Oh yes, my darling daughter;
Hang your clothes hickory limb
But don't gonear the water"
virginia. Democratic Primary.
The Democratic primary in Virginia last week
was the one absorbing subject of discussion in
ulat State, and also attracted a great deal of at
IGNITION IN the other States of the South. Most
interest was felt in the contest for Senator, Gov
''Hor Montague being candidate for the place
