 Union Of Great Nations

When the time comes when the great Englfsh-speaking nations get together there shall be no war It appears to me that 1t would be a simple matter for these five great nations to unite for the pur- pose of protecting the bonds which now exist between them. thereby benefiting humanity and greatly adding to the hap piness of tens of millions of people I must confess that I feel rather nervous about the future as 1t appears to me to be somewhat red but I cannot see why 1t Is not possible for the five great Eng lish-speaking nations to formulate a scheme of imperial defense which would not, be considered aggressive. but simply for our own interests. Should the British empire lose its supremacy at sea it would be of no benefit to the United States nor on the other hand would the loss of su- premacy of other English nations be of any benefit to Great Britain"
 Lord Beresford referred to the recent cruise of the American fleet around the world. He said that he believed that oftentimes when war appeared on the horizon a demonstration of that character had a tendency to restore peace.
 He further remarked that one thing impressed him most during his recent visit to Canada was the feeling of good will which existed among the people of Can ada toward the United States

Price Of Meat Sh0zvS
 No Tendency To Decline

Washington, September 17.-(Special.)- J. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson re- turned to Washington today after pro- tracted tour of the western states. He is impressed with the prosperity he has seen on every hand in the west. "rhe farm ers,' said Secretary Wilson, "are buying more farms and more automobiles The prospects this year are for big crops and ! the price of land is steadily going up." Secretary Wilson offers little encour- agement to tha idae-of cheaper cost of liv- Ing.
 Il see no prospect" he said, "of cheaper meats. Cattle and other live stock are high, meats will not be cheaper this win ter, the price of corn Is dear and is now about 50 cents. It will go higher
 'The ranchers in much Of the west are going out of business," added the secretary "New settlers are going in and occupying the ranches and breaking them up into small farms. They are not producing as much meat as the rancher In time they will produce more. Through the reclamation work and the dry land farming we are going to have greater pro-

New York, September 17.-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford for 50 years a figure in the British navy, was the guest of honor today at a luncheon given at the Lawyers club. under the auspices of the Pilgrims of the United States. In brief address delivered at the conclusion of the luncheon, Lord Beresford took occasion to refer to the European situation. He re- marked that as far as Great Britain was concerned the situation looked somewhat ready ahead for red"
 He added in view of this situation there was nothing else to do but for the nation to come forward with great scheme of imperial defense. What we want" con- tinued the admiral, lis that we shall hold what we have. Supremacy at sea means life or death for the British empire. It Is quite different with the United States, which by its own natural resources takes care of the nations needs, but with us the question of supremacy at sea is most im- portant; in fact, it is a question of life or death It Is not so much that we should retain big fleet for the purpose of par ticipating in war, but more for the pur- pose of preventing war. Surely the time has arrived when we should come to- gether for the purpose of preventing war.

duction of crops and live stock. Just now, production is keeping pace with the in crease of population.
 We must use better methods of farm ing, more intensive methods. I believe the high prices will help to bring about these better methods"
 The severe drought in the corn belt has hurt the corn, according to Secretary Wilson, but there is still a big crop ir sight. The grain crops generally, he says are fine. and while there are some short pastures. the hay crop is good.
 'srhe average laborer is today living bet ter than Queen Elizabeth did in her time " said Secretary Wilson. He WAS dtsqass- ing the prosperous condition of the farm CTS of the west and the high wages of the workingman in the east.
 Take the meat bills of aborers in Washington today" he continued, and you will find that they eat meat three times a day-most of them-and what Is more they are not content with any kind i; they want the best cuts. They can af- ford them. AS a result the price of meat is away up. While the farmers are pro- ducing more beef every year they are not producing enough to meet the increase In population. I do not look for the prices to decrease materially soon.''

TAFT'S LETTER HAS
 CAUSED BIG STIR

Washington, September 17--(Special.)- President Taft's letter against the adop- ton of the suffrage amendment in Mary land has drawn quick fire from dem. ocratic leaders in other southern states. The Presidents declaration that it ought to be voted down today met with an answer from Senator Money of Missis- sippi, Senator Tillman of South Carolina and Governor Aycock of North Carolina.
 What the President calls square deal" says Senator Money, lis evidently based on that supposed equality Of lo- litical capacity. The constitutional amendment of Mississippi limiting the franchise has worked well. I do not know of any white man disqualified on ac- count of it. Any purpose of breaking the solid south upon any idea of the equality of capacity of the two races will fail"
 President Taft's youthful training gives him fatally erroneous ideas about negro suffrage" declares Senator Till man.
 "Balfour, the former English prime min- ister. recently declared admission of the inferior race to participation in govern ment in South Africa meant the destruc- ton of the white mans civilization. It IS the same in tins country. No whites were disfranchised in South Carolina, and all of the blacks in America should be dis franchise. The square deaP in this guise is a square deal that tends to corruption in government based on ignorance and semi -barbarism. The fifteenth amendment is now already nullified and should be repealed
 Governor Aycock says: President Taft had never had any chance of break ing the solid south; the reason for It's solidity is deeper than he knows. It has more wisdom in 1t than we of the south have heretofore realized
 The suffrage amendment has worked admirably in this state. It would be difficult to find anyone who opposes 1t democrat or republican-and quite num- Der of negroes are in favor of it. No white vote has been disfranchised in the state, but unless they can read and write by the next election those who have be- come of age since 1908 will not be able to yOte"

St. Petersburg, September 17.-A number of American business men are planning to organize s Russo-Amer- ican chamber of commerce on the model of the recently constituted Anglo-R Russian chamber for the pur- pose of pushing American trade and acquainting American firms of busi- ness opportunities in Russia.

Peary. There were also running races for the members of the party and Eskimo men and women. for which prizes were given. The distance was 75 yards.
 The long Arctic night prevailed at this time and the course was marked by a string of lanterns from the Roosevelt
 Describing the flags he had raised at the pole Commander Peary made particular mention of the silk American flag given him by his wife Is years ago and which he had carried on every ono o1 his Arctic expeditions leaving a portion at the most northerly point attained The remnant of this flag raised at the pole consisted of one star and a section of the blue field and part of the red and white stripes.
 At noon today Commander Peary re- turned the vidt of the captain of the Tyrian.

Commander Peary Busy.

Battle Harbor, Labrador September IT.. l-(Via Marconi Wireless to Cape Ray, Newfoundland. )-After a week of rest for the crew of the Arctic steamer Roose- welt. on board of which Commander R.. D. Peary is making his way south, there was today hustle and activity on all sides as the mon put the finishing touches to the vessel preparatory to the start for Sydney.
 Commander Peary had an active day. At g o'clock this morning he received Captain Dickson of the Canadian gov ernment steamer Tyrian, and half an hour later he welcomed the newspaper correspondents who came up to Battle Harbor on the Tyrian. One of the first things he did was to go to the quarter deck of the Roosevelt and face battery of cameras When the pictures had been taken Commander Peary and the corre- spondents all went ashore to the loft of a fish house on the wharf where the ex- plorer became the target for broad side of questions. Peary sat with his back to the single window in the gable end of the attic and the newspaper men were grouped in front of him.
 In explaining to the newspaper men what he considered the scientific value of the polar explorations, Commander Peary said he had taken soundings of the sea from Cape Sheridan to the pole, which supplemented the similar data takne on the other py Nansen and Cagni. Contining, he argued that north polar exploration is much more difficult than the same work in the Ant arctic. In the Arctic the work must all be done in one search, while the south pole eventually will be reduced by several seasons of work, it being possible for exploring parties to push forward and hold the ground covered instead of turn ing back to winter quarters or the linn its of civilization.
 Commander Peary described the cele- bration of Christmas day, the Fourth or July, Thanksgiving and St Patrick dav in tbe far north. On Christmas they had q dinner and distribution of pres ents that had been brought with the s7'~r-- ton in mind. The gifts included a box of presents from Sir William Mc- Gregor, then the governor of New Found land. and boxes of candy from Mrs.
