Zeiaya Will Not Be Permitted to Re-
turn to Nicaragua.

Managua, Dec. 27-Rear Admiral
William Writ Kimball, in command OF
the American warShps at Corinto, ar
rived at Managua today on special
train, accompanied by the Secretany
of the American legation at Panama
and two naval aides. The American
officers were in uniform. and the OBJ
ject of Admiral Kimballs visit was t.
pay an unofficial call on President
Madriz. A great crowd gave them q
cordial greeting. after which they
drove to hotel in the Presidential car
riage. Several American flags We're
displayed and considerable excitement
prevailed
1t was rumored about the city that
the visit might mean the recognition
of President Madriz by the United
States. Admiral Kimball. however.
was emphatic in his assertion that he
called on the President only in his
private capacity. Ernesto Martinez
the former finance minister whose ar
rest was ordered on the charge of mis-
appropriation of public funds, has
made his escape to Granada. Joaquin
Passos, Zelaya's brother law, is now
under arrest on similar charge. The
arrest of other men who have been en-
riched at the expense of the country is
imminent.
The belief is general that there will
be restitution of millions by the large
number of persons who have been per-
mitted by the former government to
enjoy large gains Illegally.
1t is announced on reliable authority
that Mexico has formally accepted the
responsibility for Zelaya's person and
has agreed to prevent his return to
Nicaragua. The status of the ex-Presi-
dent in Mexico practically is that of a
prisoner.
President Madriz announced tonight
that he had received a telegram from
General Estrada in command of the
% rcVOlutionists at Bluefields, in answer
to his message of Dec. %, expressing a
desire to reach some understanding
that would lead to the re- establishment
Of peace.
Gen. Estrada reciprocated this senti
'nent and declares his readiness to
meet the proposal submitted by the
President half way.
President Madriz, who was elated
over this friendly statement. said
II will Immediately arrange a meet
Ing of peace commissioners on both
sidec to discuss terms. I am confident
OF satisfactory outcome"

The County Newspaper.

Knowing as we do that 1t is an inn
possibility for newspapers like the
Commercial Appeal Weekly, Atlanta
Constitution and the News Scimitar,
which deal with the news from every
section of the world, to furnish us
with the news from the several coun-
ties, We should therefore give the
county papers a stronger support.
They furnish home news; things in
which we, as citizens of our respect
i've counties, are greatly Interested,
as the proceedings of the board of SUI
pervisors, the jury lists, advertise
ments OF contracts to be let, etc,
which could not be successfully ham
died in any other papers than those
published in the counties i'll which
these things belong. So we readily
sac that the county paper cannot be
supplanted by any other paper, if for
no other reason than the one just
mentioned. Although large proper
ton of the people of Monroe county
take one or perhaps all Of the papers
of the county, still there are others
who prefer to take a general newspa-
per, as it is some cheaper in price.
But the writer thinks that there is a
day not far distant when the people
will consider the news contained in a
paper, and not the price; then every
body will take his home paper. The
editors of our home papers can edit
lust as good sheets as any one in the
large cities Why not help them, so
that they can do our advertising for
us? Why should we make the men
that do not need the money, rich, and
let our home editors barely make a
subsistence? Let's help the ones that
are trying TO help US, and then, those
that are not interested in our home
affairs. The editor of the county news
paper may not be financially able to
give away $500 for some charitable
purpose, but he is mentally able to
get out a good paper if furnished with
the news. a person must have some
thing to print if he gets out news
paper; and the writer thinks that each
person ought to take a personal pride
in his county paper, and see to it
that the editor gets all the important
occurrences. Let him know that you
appreciate his efforts to please you
by paying all arrears due, and at the
5 lme time place a one-dollar bill in
his hand for his paper one year in ad-
vance; then watch the broad smile as
it steals it's way across his face. Ed
itors, no less than any other persons,
like to be encouraged by the people
whom they are endeavoring to please.

Better roads, according to those
who have been studying the country
life improvement question, consti-
tute the reform which would do
most to advance the material and
social welfare of the farmers. Fol-
lowing the report of the country life
commission appointed by former
President Roosevelt, the National
Grange, which claims title as the
original Good Roads association, -
has started a fresh campaign to en-
list national and State aid i'm inn
proved highway construction. A
bulletin issued by the Department
of Agriculture shows the direct con-
nection between good roads and the
value of farm lands. An investiga-
ton was made relating to public
road mileage, revenues, improved
roads and expendituresin the United
States in the year 1904. In nearly
every case. it is shown, States hav-
ing the highest percentage of i'm
proved roads have the largest per-
centage of improved roads have the
largest population per mile of road,
indicating that better roads are "A
powerful factor in encouraging the
settlement of unused lands, especial
" in sparsely populated sections of
the country. 1t is held, further, that
good roads are an important infiu-
ence IN retaining upon the farms
desirable elements that otherwise
might seek the towns and cities.
The logic of this contention lies in
the fact that good roads increase
farm values and thus lessen an incen-
tive TO seek material advancement
away from the soil. The social as
poets of the good roads movement
and the facilities it affords for bet
ter school systems in the country
districts are matters that also are
receiving attention, and it is hoped
to arouse the farmers of the country
IS a whole to the importance of a
broad policy of public highway i'm

Another Blow at Despotism.

The most decided step that has
taken place in the decadence Of the
Turkish Empire occurred when Alb
dul Hamid III was deposed and his
brother declared ruler az Mehem-
med v. In revolutions with such
radical changes accomplished, none
has disturbed the civilized nations
as little as the one just wrought in
Turkey The reason Of this is due
to the fact that the principles that
led to the revolt have grown in the
hearts Of that people for decades,
and Id the supreme moment leaped
into action and accomplished what
the world has been looking for and
willing for. for more than a century
IF years. The curse of despotism
was doomed with the advent Of the
Christian religion, not only in those
countries where Christianity was
dominant. but IT'D the realm Of the
Mohammedan and pagan as we'll.
The principles Of personal libertyand
natural rights, taught by the Chris
tian nations, and later extended to
include equal participation in polit-
ical privileges by constitutional gov
eminent has been the sledge ham
mer blow To absolutism and heredi-
tary right Of despotism.
Turkey Is but another example in
the modification Of such govern
ments, and illustrates however par
TALLY, the conformation of all people
to the Christian idea Of personal
privilege ana constitutional liberty.
1t is said that history repeats itself.
This is true So far as the fall Of
governments and their reestablsh-
ment is concerned. Tn this age Of
civilized progress, however, no gov
eminent can be overthrown and re-
builded except along lines for the
bettermcnt Of humanity.
Let as hope the case of Turkey
Will prove ne exception.
