In simple, hOmely terms
Adapted to the culture
And growth of knowledge germs,
I'd say, with chastened spirit:
Just do the best you can,
You may not be a poet

If I were bid to tell you

To crouch, or look behind you,
Just do the best YOU know;

Washington. Dec. 13.-The first
formal outcome OF the Central Ameri-
can peace conference, now in progress
in this city, and probably the most i'm
portant to result from that conference,
was made public Thursday In the form
of an abstract OF the general treaty
greed upon Wednesday night by the
delegates, providing for the establish
ment Of a permanent court to settle
all disputes that may arise between
the countries OF Central America in
the future.
The work of the conference in this
respect acquires an importance quite
apart from that which attaches to the
conservation of peace in Central Amer
lea for the reason that the arrange.
ment announced probably will. If It
should work satisfactorily. be adopted
as the basis for the creation of the
general international court contem-
plated in the declaration OF the recent
Hague conference.

THIRD TERM TALK ENDED
PRESIDENT DECLARES HE WILL
NOT BE A CANDIDATE.
Formal Statement Issued Repeating
That Made the Night Of EIec-
ton In 1904.

Washington, Dec. IL. President
Roosevelt will not be candidate for
a third term. All doubt on this point
was dispelled Wednesday night by
the authoritative statement from the
White House that Mr.. Roosevelt still
adheres to the declaration Of renuncia-
ton made on the night of the election
three years ago.
In the statement issued President
Roosevelt says he has not changed
and shall not change the decision COM
municated to the American people in
1904.
1t appears that President Roosevelt
has been awaiting the call for the
Republican national convention to af-
ford the proper opportunity for max
ing his position clear and unmistak-
able, thus leaving the field clear for
Fairbanks, Taft. Cannon, Knox, For
aker and other declared or receptive
candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion. The presidents statement fol-
lows:
"In view of the issuance Of the call
of the Republican national committee
for the convention. the president
makes the following statement:
On the night after election I made
the following announcement: I am
deeply sensible of the honor done me
by the American people In thus ex.
pressing their confidence In what l
have done and have tired to do. ap-
preciate to the full the solemn rsspon-
sibility this confidence imposes upon
me, and shall do all that In my pow
er lies not to forfeit 1t. On the fourth
OF March next l shall have served
three and half years, and this three
and a half years constitute my hrst
term. The wise custom which limits
he president to two terms regards the
substance. and not the form. and un-
der no circumstances will ! be . can.
didate for or accept another nomina-
tion.'
Il have not changed and shall not
change the decision thus announced" :"

Washington, Dec. IL Immigration
to America ddr.n, the year ended
June 80, 1907, was vas,., greater than
in any previous year IN the history
of the United states. This fact, with
all II interesting and important de
tails. is plac, IN strong light in the
annual report of Frank p. Sargent
commissioner general of immigration
and naturalization, which was made
public. or this great flood of inimi
grants Commissioner Sargent says:
"An army of 1,2S5,349 souls that
have come, drawn hither by the free
institutions and the marvellous pros
perity of our country-the chance
here afforded every honest toiler to
gain a livelihood by the sweat Of his
brow or the exercise of his intelli
gence-supassing in numbers the rec
ord Of all preceding years"
The report contains In tabulated
form every phase OF information bear
ing upon the subject OF immigration
and submitting this data Mr.. Sargent
says:
THE immigration for the year 1907
exceeded that for 1906 by 1854 and
that for the year 1906 by 258.850, or
an increase over the year OF 1906 OF
more than II per cent. and over the
year of 1905 Of more than 25 per
cent.
During the fiscal year 1906, 12,432
aliens were rejected AT our ports

crease OF 632. Hence the total mum.
Der Of those who have sought admis.
sion in 1907. viz, l.29s,413. exceeds
the number who applied in 1906, viz,

The increase OF immigration to the
