 If MT. Charles . Crane had had that "giftie" he would not have followed one blunder by another. To say the least, it is far from dignified to seek to unload on President Taft, as if the purpose were further to embarrass an administration for which he has all ready made much trouble. But Mr. Cranes statement does not sound like him.. It may have been the clumsy RnndiW9rk assr of an edt0ral friend or of should have known that discredi e.. diplomat gains nothing by engaging in an eptstolary or other dispute witt his of 1t.

It of them to make public speeches at home about the affairs of the country to which he was going, or of any other country. After reaching his destlna- tion it has been permissible for him to discuss in public subjects which are of common interest to America an the country to which he Is accredited but in doing that he has to exercise great tact and discretion so 'as to avoid criticism abroad or at home. The diplomatst who tells in Chicago or New York what he intends to do in Pekin had better wait until he has ac compiished something or Is on the eve if 1t. The great plomats of this craftsmen like Bismarck and Disrae l said nothing as to their .lntentions until they had embodied them in action or knew that 1t would be done within twenty-four hours. When talk ing at other times they eXemplified the truth of the saying of an eminent English divine, that speech is given to wise men to conceal their mind.

company of friends and neighbors
gave them a surprise on their wed

anniversary is April 2sth. and ne

that the surprise" has been re-
peated every year since Mr. and
Mrs. Norton have moved to town,
but the annual gathering Is still
kept up, but is now as much like an
old settlers reunion as wedding an
niversary.
The gathering this week al he

the fifty-fourth milestone Of heir

vening between January /. 1907, and
May l. 1909, La Junta had twenty
four fires. and the total property loss
was $2.507.2s, all of which was fully

was that Of the La Junta Hotel,
which occurred on May 10. 1908. when
the property loss aggregated ST.

the entire period OF sixteen months.
