Touching a Sore SPOT.

British pride has been g~rievously
hurt and something soothing will have
to be offered before there is any more
of this "Hands-Across-the-Sea" bust
ness. Mr.. Roosevelt, an eminent citi-
zen of the republic, now living at Oys-
ter Bay, N. Y, is responsible for the
break and is really lot in position to
correct his mistake.
1t appears that some time ago Mr..
Roosevelt, then president of the ma
ton, became enthusiastic over a prop
osition to have all the countries in
North America Join in a movement for
the conservation of resources. On the
spur Of the moment he called a con-
ference on the subject and invited
Mexico and Canada to send delegates.
and both accepted the invitation. 1t
vas a fine movement n our neigh
bors on the north and south both
agreed TO push it along. Now it de-
velops that Canada has no national
Great Britain, and the British authori-
ties are in a real hun because Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent the invitation to
Canada instead OF to England for the
consideration OF the colonial secretary
and any other British dignitaries who
might wish to have a hand in the af-
fair. The British ambassador at Wash.
ington has been automatically in
formed that official England is very
much offended and would like to know
what excuse President Roosevelt has

A Regrettable Failure

Friends of civilization and all re-
forms that are calculated to advance
1t will regret the signal failure of the
international opium conference at
Shanghai to take any action looking
to the suppression of traffic in the
drug. The conference was attended
by representatives of all of the civil
lied powers and most of the nations
represented were practically pledged
to united action looking to the prohi-
bition of the importation of the drug
into China and it's use in other coun-
tries except for medicinal purposes.
After celebrating three weeks the
conference adopted resolutions declar-
ing that the use Of the drug is de-
moralizing and that it is highly de-
sirable that it be stopped.
Blame for the failure of the confer
ence, according to reports, must be
charged to the British delegates, who
opposed any formal action on any of
the plans proposed. The American
and Chinese delegates we're anxious
for an international agreement regu-
lating opium traffic, but the British
were unwilling to go further than to
pass some general platitudes on the
subject. England has prohted inan-
cially for many years by the opium
trade between China and British In
dia, and is now apparently willing to
hinder the progress of a great and
needed reform movement for the pur-
pose of making a commercial profit
in a discreditable trade that results in
demoralizing and running the health
of millions of people.

Potatoes From Germany

A decided reflection on the industry,
thrift and commercial good sense of
the American farmers was contained
in a cargo of potatoes that arrived in
New York the other day from Stras-
burg, Germany. Several carloads of
the potatoes were shipped as far west
as Memphis and sold at 5 cents a
bushel less than potatoes from Colo
RADIO and other potato-producing states
in the west.
These potatoes were loaded on
barges at Strasburg, floated down the
Rhine and loaded on ocean vessels as
ballast, thus reducing the cost of
transportation to New York to a min
imum. The United States is capable
of raising potatoes for all the world,
The crop is reasonably sure and the
1uctuation in prices not much greater
than in other farm products. They
may be grown in practically every
state in the union and nothing but a
neglect of opportunities makes the i'm
portation of German potatoes possible.

origin and dates back to the debate
on the Missouri compromise, when
Hon. Felix Walker OF Buncombe
county. North Carolina, was making a
speech which his colleagues were try
ing to cry down. II must speak for
Buncombe, shouted Walker, thus
coming a word that has been highly
useful ever since.
We can see trouble ahead If the
Buncombe club is started. Mr.. Taft
has as yet refused to name his choice
for charter members of the organiza-
ton, and he will do we'll to hold the
matter up indefinitely. The Ananias
club has been a comparatively small
organization, although some very dis
tlnguished Rersons have been made
members of it by executive decree, but
there world be no responsible limit
placed on the numerical strength of a
Buncombe club. The sp%ellbinder in
the country school house would be
eligible and every politician in the ma
tion from the ward worker up to the
grave and reverend senators would be
fully qualified for admission, for they
all deal in buncombe more or less,

Luther Burbank. INCORPORATED.

The fuller development of the spine
less cactus is the chief aim of an
unique organization which has just
been incorporated under the name of
THE Luther Burbank's Products
company" The worldwide admirers
of the genius who has worked won
ders in the hybridiEation of plants will
perhaps be a little shocked to learn
that his further inventive efforts are
to be spurred on by the prospect OF
financial gain, but doubtless 1t is bet
ter so. Mr.. Burbank, relieved of the
necessity of worrying over the cost of
living. may be expected to achieve still
greater distinctions than have already
been scored to his credit.
If the plant wizard succeeds in his
dream of perfecting the spineless cac-
tus and Transforming the desert
wastes into grazing lands" the Luther
Burbank's Products company is as
sured a wealth that will make the
combined holdings of the Rockefel-
lers, Morgans and Vanderbilts look
like sman change. The turning of the
cactus area of the plains into grazing
lands would NEAR ranges for the cattle
of the world and offer a possibility of
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice.
But MIR. Burbank is not content to
plan for new grazing lands. lie pre-
diets his ability to produce a cactus
plant that will yield both sugar and
alcohol and II successful in that direc-
tion, would be able to put the Sugar
trust and the Whisky trust out of
business in short order. Burbank has
already produced more than 500 va
rieties of edible cactus, some with a
fruit having the flavor of the cante-
loupe and peach and growing in great
profusion. The economic value of the
Development of the cactus to Bur
banks expectations can not be over
estimated.

Enter the Buncombe Clnh
