NORTHWEST WITH
THE PRESIDENT
Congressman Davis Of Minnesota
Talks with Roosevelt on the
Rate Situation.
Nv w. w. Iernane.

Washington, May 17.-Representa-
tive Davis of Minnesota had pleasant
visit. with President Roosevelt today.
Speaking about the purchase Of Pana-
ma canal supplies in the cheapest mar
kets, the president said the result of
his policy would be to put the entire
question up to congress, where it be-
longs. He wants congress to decide it.
He. did not discuss the tariff in this
COZ nection with Mr.. Davis.
The president was interested in find
ing out what the northwest sentiment
is regarding the railway rate question,
and seemed pleased when Mr.. Davis in,
formed him that the northwest public
indorses what the president said in his
Denver and Chicago addresses.
Mr.. Davis has had some official bust
ness at the postoffice department.
Among other things, he is working for
the readjustment of rural delivery mat
ters in his district, more especially in
Goodhue county. There was a move
to detach part of Red Wing from the
city postoffice, for instance, and attach
it to rural routes. This Mr.. Davis will
probably be able. to prevent. He will
go to New York tomorrow night.

RUMANIANS ASK
PORTE TO EXPLAIN
Arrest Of School Inspectors Calls
Forth Sharp Note from
Rumania' IS King.

Bucharest, May lit is semi-of-
feially announced that Rumania has
asked Turkey for satisfaction on ac-
count of the vail Of Janina s arresting
q number of Rumanian school inspectors
in disregard of the privileges conferred
upon them by the Porte.
A dispatch from Rome, May IA, said
that information had been received
there that, in consequence Of the illegal
arrest Of two Rumanian subjects by
Turkish officials, Rumania has sent an
ultimatum to the Porte demanding the
immediate release Of the men and the
recognition Of Rumanian nationality. 1t
was added that the alleged ultimatum
would expire on May %, and that the
Rumanian government had informed
the members of the diplomatic corps at
Bucharest Of the sending Of the ulti-
matum and its conditions and had taken
steps to acquaint foreign governments
of its action in the matter.
The foregoing dispatch indicates that
the Rumanian. communication is not in
the nature Of an ultimatum.

CANAL PLAN GAINS
Low HOME PRICES
BEST Market Policy Will Sc

American Exporters.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 1.-THE decision
of the governments to buy it's canal
not mean necessarily that these sup
plies are to be purchased abroad.
Nearly all the great American export
ers have two price lists, one for Amer
lean consumers and the other for the
foreign consumer. The price to the for

to the working Of the protective bar.

The government, in its canal posi-
tion, has simply served notice on these
American exporters that they must
give the government the benefit Of the
stood, the exporters will do, and that
will settle the question in very large
part, excepting for the howl that these
exporters will raise, in person and thru
their Representatives in congress. That
howl will not be especially significant,
nor will the public at large take much
interest in it. Atleast, that is the
Washington opinion today.

patters are greatly annoyed They do
not care anything about the price at
which the canal supplies are bought,
and they are satisfied that these sup
plies will be purchased in this country.
But they are swearing mad because
the government action will furnish
arguments for the revision.
It may safely be said that the pres

He will be very glad If The canal can

Move Is Based on spooner Act.
The government canal policy is
based on the Spooner act, the object OF
which was to permit the government t.
get it's supplies in any available mar
ket, to prevent the impositions OF
American monopolies.
The administration does not admit
that the tariff creates the monopoly
but it does not propose to patronize
trusts that claim shelter behind The
tariff. This principle was followed il
the legislation for railway building il
the Philippines. In order to develop
those islands, railroad material wal

ers will have to meet foreign competi

Levi M. Stewart, better known as

day, injected some real humor into the
rather monotonous examination of wit
nesses. Before he had finished his tilt
with Emanuel Cohen, attorney for the
objector, the court, the principals to
the cause, lawyers and spectators had
given up trying to conceal their mirth.
Mr.. Stewart was called by Miss
Dickerson' IS attorneys in an effort to
prove that the late. Albert Johnson
was not demented as charged by the
enthusiasm. In his direct examination,
the witness swore that Mr.. johnson was
perfectly sane, not especially eccentric
and, tho given to joking, was always
possessed of common sense. Cross-ex-
amined by Mr.. Cohen, Mr.. Stewart
grew facetious.

She can say a thing one day and

She can shed tears on the slightest

prove to people that she is tender

She can be as inconsistent as an

be thought charming.
She can look openly into every
mirror she passes without being
accused of more than natural

She can spend good deal of

She can wheedle a man into

artless sincerity.
She can succumb to all the little
weaknesses of womankind, such as
coquettishness, jealousy, vanity,

TALE OF ORANGE BLOSSOM.
Legend of Spain Tells How II Was First
Used at Wedding.

The wearing Of orange blossoms
at wedding is accounted for il
various ways. Among other stories
IS the following popular legend
from Spain: An African King pre-
seuted a Spanish King with a mag
nifcent orange tree, whose creamy,
waxy blossoms and wonderful
fragrance excited the admiration
of the whole court. Many begged
in vain for a branch of the plant,
and foreign Ambassador was tor
mented by the desire to introduce
SO great a curiosity to his native
land. He used every possible means
to accomplish his purpose, but, all
his efforts coming to naught, he
gave up in despair.
The fair daughter of the court
gardener was loved by a young ar
tisan, but she lacked the dowry
which the family considered neces-
sary to a bride. One day, CHANGING
to break off a spray of orange bios
som, the gardener thoughtlessly
gave II TO his daughter. Seeing the
coveted prize in the girls hair, the
willy Ambassador offered a sum suf-
6cient for the dowry, provided she
gave him branch and said moth
ing about it. Her marriage was
soon celebrated, and on her way to
the altar. IL grateful remembrance
Of the source of all her happiness,

THE INTENSIVE FARMER.

THE INTENSIVE FARMER.
A North Texas farmer boasts
that when he goes to town at any
season of the year, for whatever
purpose, he takes with him some
thing to sell, because he abhors the
rattle of an empty wagon and the
failure to economic time and i'm
prove opportunity.
At first though one may be dis
posed to question the Texas farm
er's ability to take something from
the farm at any and all seasons of
the year for which he will find a
market in the city. A little re-
Election, however, will show that
it is easy.
Before the idea of diversified
farming began to spread in Texas
there were plenty of farmers who
never went to town with anything
to sell except Just after the cotton
picking season and begun Then,
with probably two or three bales
of cotton on his wagon, he would
seek the grocer and commission
merchant and lay in supplies
which would sometimes include
besides -four and bacon-potatoes,
beans canned vegetables and can
ned fruits, and, perhaps, condensed
milk, provided he was able to in
dulge IN such luxuries by reason
Of a small balance after discharging
Obligations for supplies previously
advanced. This sort of farmer had
never got out Of the old rut of
raising cotton with which to buy
feed and of having his barr and
smokehouse located in town in
stead of Oh the farm.
The progressive farmer who has
learned to diversity his crop and
to raise his own hog and homi1y
and who never goes to town with |
an empty wagon, nearly always has
something to sell, and instead of |
being broke all they year, except |
when he markets his cotton, has
cash on hand all the time. At |
these odd times IN the season, or
rather, between seasons, when the
products of the field and orchard !
are not available, there is a market /
for poultry and eggs and butter, or
cordwood or something else the
farmer may have to load upon his
wagon instead of going to town
empty. IF there is not, the farmer
would better stay on the farm and
not go to town at all until he can
90 with something TO ell.
III the economy of time and IN
dustry matters should be SO arrang-
ed, when possible, As to provide
for a haul both ways. IN the Ian
guage Of the progressive farmer

wagon IS the farmers funeral
