The Dead Dean.

Called the "dean of American poets''
by the voice of the best of his contem-
poraries, the history Of the late Ed
mund Clarence Stedman reaches back
into days when he groveled, it may be
said, through long days of labor" to
come to his own Stedman's was a
typical American literary career of the
old school. First a war correspondent
at the front in the sixties and later a
newspaper worker in New York city.
he early began to put into verse the
sentiments and emotions aroused by
his daily associations. He wrote poetry
because that was a fitting vehicle for
the expression Of the thoughts that
breathed within him.
In his prime Mr.. Stedman was called
the "banker-poet." He went into Wall
street to make money, but not for mon
ey alone nor for the more vulgar things
that money will buy. He wanted to
emancipate his pen from the letters OF
commercialized literature. 1t is said
that Stedman's most important literary
work was done after he came in touch
with stocks and bonds. His poetic in
spirations sprang from knowing men
as they are, from seeing the tragedies
as well as the flower paths of life. His
fame matured late, but while not broad
in scope, it is likely to be enduring, and
no doubt that posterity will rank him
with Lowell, whom he resembled in
many respects, and likewise Longfel-
low.

The value OF merchandise originating
in United States ports and shipped
over that line to other parts of the
United States and to foreign countries
amounted during the year to between
$12,0 O0,0 600 and $15,000,OO0.
ALI merchandise originating in Or
leaving any port of the United States
and crossing Mexico by the Tehuante-
pee line is sent across the isthmus in
sealed cars and is readmitted free of
duty on reaching any other port of the
United States. The time occupied in
the transfer Of merchandise from the
hold Of one ship to that Of the other is
less than forty-eight hours. Hawaiian
sugar shippers to the Atlantic ports Of
this country have adopted the Tehuan-
tepec route and abandoned the all wa
ter route around the Horn.

The Clash In Persia.

When the son of the dead shah Of
Persia declared a little more than a
year ago that he would undo the lib
eraliZing work Of his fathers last days
the world was in doubt as to the
young rulers capacity for the throne.
In fact, the first accounts of his atti-
tude were revised. and he was made
to saysthat he thought his father had
gone too far. but thai he was in SYM
pathy with the aspirations Of the peo-
pie for political progress. Gradually
differences between the shah and the
Nationalist party widened, with the
result that artillery was turned upon
the hall of parliament Under similar
conditions recently the czar Of Russia
dissolved the douma by imperial edict.
1t is noticeable that the new shah of
Persia has Russianized his army by
organizing Cossack bands under Rus
sian officers. Evidently he intends to
initiate Russian absolutism at it's
worst. Not only is the national army
loyal to the monarch, but the people
seem to side with him against the Ma
tionalists. Without public support
constitutionalism is certain to undergo
an eclipse in Persia.

A Third Reason For Tree Planting


Uncle Sans tree planting and farm
experts have just undertaken a prac-
teal and scientific study of the use
and effect of timber ~windbreaks and
shelter belts. At present windbreaks
are planted haphazard, says a recent
bulletin of the forest service, one kind
here and another there, and if any
one kind is better than another the ex-
perts think the fact should be proved
by experiments conducted upon one
plan over a wide region of agricultural
lands. 1t is proposed to collect facts
never before brought together and, if
possible. settle this question once for
all.
Forest preservation and tree planting
have been Z%ealously urged upon the
people of this country in recent years
for two reasons-namely, the main
%tenance of watersheds and the growth
of timber supply. The windbreak and
shelter belt are known to be important
also, and the question how to proceed
where the land is practically bare of
trees is one which will first engage the
attention of the forest service. For
tunately it is possible to kill two birds
with n stone. for II the %windbreak
does not turn out to be profitable in
giving a greater yield Of crops it can
at least be made to yield valuable tim
Der by planting several rows Of trees
instead Of a single row.
The kind of trees to be planted de-
ponds largely upon the climate and the
soil. Spruce and poplar have a wide
range and are rapid growers. These
trees are much sought after by wood
pulp manufacturers. Poplars as small
as three inches in diameter are used in
the manufacture of paper. White pine
and chestnut also grow rapidly, and
the timber Of these trees is much
sought after, and young timber finds
a ready sale If the owner cannot wait
for it to grow to great size.

The overthrow Of Abdul Aziz, the
sultan Of record in Morocco, and the
proclaiming of his renegade brother.
Mulai Hafd, as sultan have placed
France in a most embarrassing posi-
ton. Whatever steps she takes may
lead to u blunder that would bring
serious consequences upon her, and I'M
less the signatory powers to the Age-
ciras treaty help her out she must face
the dilemma alone. 1t is a most deli
cate position, and If French diplomacy
can extricate her unscathed the rest Of
| the diplomatic world must take its hat
off.
BY the terms of the treaty France
and Spain are allowed to attend to the
policing Of Morocco and may use both
gunboats and regiments in performing
this police duty, but they must be care
ful-oh, so ~careful-not to carry their
measures too far. Nothing must be
done in Morocco which would fire Ger
many's Jealous, watching eye with Of
Tense. The kaiser is furious already
because Of the triumphant Haunting of
the feur-de-lis to the breezes of Tunis
and Algiers. He does not mean that
France shall have n grain of Moroc-
co.'s yellow sands unless he can have
two for himself. His attitude has so
frightened Spain that she fears to give
her sister state much military assist
ance, and France must therefore dare
to brave the Prussian eagles wrath
alone.
The menace Of conflict between Ger
many and France is necessarily re-
vived by the complications growing out
Of Moroccan affairs. There have been
signs of late that the French people
as q mass have lost the keen edge Of
their bitterness in the matter Of the
two provinces wrested from France by
Germany. Perhaps this trouble in
Morocco will afford an opportunity to
test the public sentiment on the sub
ject. That famous visit Of the kaiser
to Tangier in 1905 may after all work
out important results bearing upon.t the
politics Of continental Europe.

Pan-Americans to Swap Notes.

Pan.Amertcans to Swap Notes.
Following the plan of America ind
Germany in the exchange Of intellec-
tual ideas according to a definite sys-
tenn, educators r considering the es-
Enlistment Of cooperation between
the universities Of this country and
those Of South America. A closer ac-
q%uaintance between the people of
North and South America is desirable
for many reasons. Perhaps the best
way to secure valuable results is
through cultivation along regular ed
u%cational lines. The time seems auspi-
cious.
1t has been shown frequently that
German influence now dominates the
intellectual circles Of several impor-
tant South American states. At the
same time it appears that American
teachers are wanted there. By COOP
GRAFTON with the educated classes it is
believed that the German influence
a at least be restricted and that Of
the United States elevated in the same
field. The scheme for intellectual CO.
operation includes the exchange Of
university publications and a scientific
bureau for the exchange Of data and
for simultaneous investigation on top
les of interest to the scientists Of all
countries. The university systems Of
the different countries will also be
compared. Not the least useful fea-
ture of the cooperative work will be
the exchange Of material pertaining to
the development Of political institu-
tons.
1t must be plain to the most obtuse,
what reinforcement our general infu-
ence in South America would receive
from the successful execution Of the
plan proposed. Community of COM
mercial interests and a resemblance in
the form Of government will do much.
But these are influences that work
from without and have to pierce the
crust to get within. Sowing ideas in
the schools is to generate an influence
that works from within outward and
easily leavens the lump.

CORRESPONDENCE
MT. CARMEL.

Mr.. P. Zettel made a business trip to
Dresden last Saturday.
Mr.. Lorentz Fritz made a business
trip to Dresden last Monday.
Sup't. B. E. Groom, has been visiting
the schools of this township in the past
two weeks.
Many of the farmers are harvesting
their crops of barley, which they claim
is pretty good, considering the dry
season.
Joseph Hiltner is wearing a sweet
smile the last few days, and explains the
whole matter in the few simple words
which sound like this "Its a boy"
Mr.. Frank Schiller had a large haying
bee onIMonday. Everybody was cordially
invited to come and take part in same,
and enjoy the fun at the same time.
The weather in this vicinity is very
dry and hot. A few showers of rain fell
in the past week, but by far insufficient.
Also some hail fell lear midnight last
Friday, but doing no damage.
Joseph Metzger, ST., thinks this a very
inviting country, only to have a talk
with the girls at the town pump on
Sunday, is fascination enough to keep
one in good cheer for the week to come.
Mr.. George Schuler cordially invites
the teachers to take a drive in his new
buggy which is as swell, "as you please"
but says they must promise not to have
another runaway, as he thinks the crops
won't pay the expenses of too many
occurrences of that kind.
Next Tuesday is the date set for the
big dance in the new barn as Louis
Schneider's home, it is supposed to be
the last one of the kind for this season,
as haying is rapidly advancing and
barns will be filled, so all are cordially
invited to come and make this time a
success.
Rev. M. j. Hiltner was called away
last Friday to Walhalla to attend the
burial of Mrs. Gapp, Sr. The lady was
advancing in years and has been in Door
health for some time, lately contracting
typhhold fever of which she died. Her
son, Jacob Gapp, of Mt. Carmel also left
Friday. to attend the funeral. He has
the sympathy of the whole community.

Placing Ex-Presidents.

Grover Cleveland's suggestion that
something in the nature of a pension
settlement should be provided for our
ex-presidents is considered by some
people as nothing more than throwing
them on the shelf with a bone to gnaw.
Mr.. Cleveland says that the people not
only place upon a survivor of the
White House the obligation of living
up to a high standard of dignity.
but also to continue an active interest
in the affairs Of the country-for in
stance, to deliver addresses "on topics
and for purposes that are ~bewildering
and at times and places that are i'm
possible" In other words, the voice
of the ~ex-president must not be silent.
In order to provide an income for the
support of dignity and also an oppor-
tunity for the voice Of the retired ex-
ecutive to be heard by the whole coun-
try 1t has been proposed that ex-presi-
dents have a seat for life in the house
of representatives. With the seat
would go the pay and allowances Of an
elected representative, together with
the privilege Of debating, but no vote.
Commenting upon this method of
treating a problem which is generally
recognized to be real, the Washington
Post says:
Under such a provision ex-presidents
would truly go into the house as friends
of the people and not as parts Of any po-
litical machine. The country would get
the benefit Of their wisdom and expert
ence. The house would feel the weight
Of their influence. 1t would be dignified
by their presence. and they would be
earning their emoluments by a full meas
ure of service. Only their ripened views
n not their votes could influence legis-
lation. AS men who had stood in a posi-
ton of responsibility toward the whole
people they would nave a wider vision
than men who chiefly represented the
wishes of their limited constituents, and
the legislation influenced by former exec
utives would undoubtedly be for the bene-
fit of the whole country rather than for
the aid of a few at the expense of many.
Having for a constituency the whole
body Of voters, ex-presidents would be
likely to avoid close party affiliations.

The Short Land Haul to the Pacific

The Short Land Haul to the Pacific.
The short land haul between At
lantic and Pacific ports made possible
by the T~ehuantepec railway, which has
been opened only a year, is said to be
the chief cause for the trebling of traf-
fc between eastern and western coast
centers Of the United States. Over
$4,000 900 worth of merchandise origi-
mating in the United States territory
crossed from ocean to ocean via the
T~ehuantepec and the Panama trans
isthmian railroads in 1907, more than
three times as much as that of any
earlier year. OF this traffic the Next
can line carried between $25,OOO,OOO
and $3O,O00,OO0. This road connects
the waters by n land haul Of 100 miles.
In 1907 the Panama rail route ma
terially increased it's business over that
of the preceding year despite the fact
that large demands were made upon
1t in the transportation of material for
use In the construction of the canal.
