all statcments to the contrary, are
gradually becoming worse, and the
solution of the question apparently as
far away as ever. The problem is in
escapabIe; a no-seat-nO-fnre ordinance
will not solve IL. We must have more
trackage, and there must he more cars.
sThe situation mt Broad and Market
streets is at an acute point, without
any visible means of adding to the
east or ~westbound traffic at any hour

AS to short weights, the board of di-

The report says:
What justification can be offered by

Only one line of action is permissible,

committee IN municipal affairs which
will accomplish this reform"
The streets of the city, it was claimed,
have never been cleaner han in the
past year, a condition due in a great
measure to the EFFORTS of the commit
tee on municipal affairs.
On the subject of water supply the
report had the following to say:
Our legislative committee has per-
formed good work, especially in pro-
tecting the city's equity in its water
supply from partial coniscation
through proposed legislation, which
would limit the city to a supply of
80, 000, 900 gallons daily, instead Of a
maximum of TO- 600, 900 gallons, or the
whole capacity of the watershed.
OF the Public Utilities Commission
the report had this to say: .
I'm the resolutions reported by the
committee on public utilities and
adopted by this board we have put our
selves on record in favor of the creation
of a Public Utilities Commission, and
it should be our concern to watch legis-
lation in this connection particularly

PRESIDENT
SCOUTS WAR
WITH JAPAN
Quoted to That Effect and
MikadO's Agent Disclaims
Aggressive Intentions.

PARIS, Jan. 9.-The Matin today, re-
ferring again to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
situation, declares that President Roos-
eveit spoke to a diplomat in Washing
ton a few days ago in the following
words:
"All will be arranged in the most
satisfactory manner The last memo
randum received from Japan was ex-
pressed in the most conciliatory terms,
n there is not the slightest apprehen-
sion of a conflict"
The Gaulois publishes an interview
this morning with Baron Kurino, Jap
anese ambassador to France, in which
he says he could state officially hat
Japan had no aggressive intentions
against the United States. He had
heard that a fable was being circulated
to the effect hat the Japanese fleet
was waiting around the cape for an
opportunity to pounce upon the Ameri-
can feet. He could only say however,
that it was a pleasant invention OF
amateur politicians, who dispose of the
fates of empires in the smoking looms
after dinner.
He asked was it likely that the Amer
lean Government would e a fleet to
the Pacific without communicating its
intention to Japan and assuring itself
of the Interpretation Japan would place
on his move. On the question of the
American fleets cruise he could only
say one thing, and that was if the
American fleet during the course of its
voyage had occasion to call at a Japan
csc port it would be received with the
courteous Difference due a great nation,
with whom Japan wished to remain on
friendly terms.
The ambassador said that war be-
tween the two countries was impossible
because it would be most unpopular,
and public opinion had now to be taken
into consideration. With Japan, this
was one of the benefits resulting from
her rapid assimilation of Western civil
iZation.
Even if the Japanese Government
wished for war with the United States
it could not declare it in the face OF
general disapprobation, he added.

as follows:

soclauon bearing my name are convincing
friendship for me on the part Of those
who control the majority OF the active

malignant enmity. That was evidenced nv
the action of those who so unexpectedly
ran a primary ticket against the ticket
agreed upon by the association, and their
expression of sentiment during and since
that action. S

Investing In the Farm.

A great deal is written about the ad-
visibility of investing the surplus money
that comes from farming operations IN
the farm instead of in the savings bank
or in securities of some sort. The ad-
vice given does not generally contem-
plate buying more land, although in
some instances it does, but contemplates
farm improvements, such as more
thorough and frequent cultivation OF the
soil, better fertilization, drainage and
irrigation in some instances, as we'll as
improved stock and better and more up
to-date farm implements.
All of the advice is we'll and good pro-
viding the farmer is able and willing to
apply the additional skill and energy
requisite to the profitable development
of his operations. This principle ap-
plies to all kinds of business. A person
may be able to run small corner gro
cery at a profit but when he invests the
profits in the establishment OF great
depart ment store or great store in the
line which he has followed 1t will de-
pend upon his ability as merchant
rather than upon other conditions,
whether he is successful or not. Many

ming a shoe factory. Along the same
line there are thousands of farmers who
own farms and manage them in moder-
ate way, so as to make them profitable,
that might not do as we'll under high
pressure system. 1t requires great skill
to breed and manage high bred animals
of any breed at profit. 1t requires
great skill to grow crops at profit up
on land that has been cultivated, fertil-
lied and drained or irrigated and make
a profit upon the investment over the
cost of operation.
We admit that it can be done, and is
being done in thousands Of places in the
country and yielding greater profit per
acre than any other kind of farming, but
it must be borne in mind that 1t requires
Just as much greater skill than the Or
dinary farming as the difference In the
cash outlay represents.
1t is not difficult to double the crop

ment of money in its improvement that
would otherwise have been invested in
the savings bank, and when improved 1t
allows the most profitable kind of farm
ing, but along with it must go greater
skill in the production of crops and
handling of stock, and greater ability in
transacting the financial matters involv-
ed in it.-Mirror and Farmer.
