Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoeI

when you can buy as good, or better per
haps, reajymsde to your hand, for lit

What do you think Of painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging bis time for work that ie
far better-done than he can do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoee
and nails are made.
Mistake isn't II?
He is wasting his chance 10 the world.
There is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint;
anG no better work than putting them
on. Good horseshoes well put on: It's
the putting 'em on that makes you 8

WILL TIE POWERS INTERFERE?

WILL TIE POWERS INTERFERE?
As indications begin to point to
the necessity on the part OF Russia
to make peace with Japan, the ques-
ton is naturally being discussed as
to whether Japan will be allowed 10y
the powers to drive a hard bargain
with her adversary, and reap the
fruits OF her hard-earned victory. 1t
may be too soon to begin to figure
on such proposition, and the war
may be continued indefinitely, but
that s.a early finish is looked for by
Japan is indicated by report from
Japanese sources suggesting that
they fear international interference
as so the terms of peace, should peace
proposals be made. Under all the
circumstances, it is most reasonable
shat there should be some such fear
on the part OF Japan, especially when
Ii is remembered that present hostll
tits are the outcome OF International
Interference after the war between
Japan and China. At that time
Japan demanded as part OF the
spoils OF war the city and harbor OF
Port Arthur, and the powers forced
her TO take a money indemnity in
stead. But for this interference Port
Arshur would have been in possession
OF the Japanese, and there would
have been no occasion for friction
between Japan and Russia. 1t ap
pears, therefore, that it is in the In
terest of future peace thas Japan be
allowed TO make her own terms with
Russia. Is is fair and right and
proper that she should. The idea OF
an international congress to adjust
and revise the proposed terms OF
peace, in fairness and Justice to the
Island Kingdom, should be dropped.
The powers stand q better chancellor
impartial treatment and the open
door at the hands of Japan than
they do from Russia.

LAND Is APPOINTED AGAIN
Fire Commissioners Name Secretary
Who Has Performed Services In
a Satisfactory Manner

The naming Of y. w. Land as emer-
gency appointee to the secretaryship Of
the fire department is Lecoming a fixed
habit with the fire commission. Land
was again named for the place at the
meeting of the commission yesterday
morning when the resignation of G. L.
Bagley was received. Bagley was the
nominee of the civil service commission
for the place, having passed the exam
ination successfully and was appointed
by the fire commission about three
weeks ago.
Land has held the position under the
emergency clause four times within less
than a year. The work Is particularly
arduous and not snap, as most of the
applicants for the position expect. Land
was formerly hoseman and, accord
ing to Chief Lips, performes his duties
as secretary with efficiency. He will
take the examination again when the
civil service commission is ready.
