Washington Officials Think Inter
Centi0p Not Yet OppOrtune.

Washington. Feb. 22-Such advices as reached
the State Department from Central America to-
day indicate the existence OF a deep seated sus-
picion by each OF the republics OF the motives
of the other. which does not tend TO make easier
the task set for the United States and Mexico
Of reconciling Nicaragua and Honduras. In fact.
the officials have almost reached the conclU-
sion that not until the quarrel has proceeded
further and some bloCdshed has sobered the in
famed parties TO the strife will IT be possible
To attempt to intervene successfully, even 20
the extent of a proffer Of arbitration. The last
statement bearing this point is TO the ef-
feet that Salvador has been aiding Honduras by
supplying ammunition. but 1t is said to be pos
sible that this report is founded on the fact that
these two countries have generally acted to-
gether whenever International relations have
been concerned.

Ottumwa, July 3O-Dr. Peter. Mcqueen.
writer, war correspondent, and close
friend of President Roosevelt. in an in

ment that the President should be made
King of the United States.
Mr.. McJueen was most scathing con-
eerning a enlargement such as exists
in the United States to-day.
THE facts are that very small per
cent Of the people In any country really
know what a self-gOvernment is" he
went on. What do I want to vote for
any governor, Senator, or any one else
for? It does me no good. Times are bet
ter for me with the RepGS leans in Of
fee than If the Democrats were, and I
am just one Of the millions.
IF man wants to be a senator he
offers his price and is a senator. and I
have to pay just as much railroad fare
if one man is in as another. I tell you
what the American people needs is a
King. Roosevelt should be a King. No
country could ever have a better one.
He's a grand man. and the nation can
never have a better Executive at its head
There's not a more arrogant race in
the world than the rich Of the United
States, and not a race Of women more
overbearing and self-conscious than the
American beauties and their mothers
and aunts"
