A Century Of Peace.

A suggestion made at the Harvard
commencement by the Canadian
minister OF labor has attracted much
attention. It was proposed by this
official that Canada and the United
States should commemorate the hun
dred years Of peace between the two
countries by the erection and dedi-
cation OF some striking International
monument Sir WYlfrid Laurier is
reported to be much interested in
the idea and hopes to see 1t carried
out.
A short time ago representatives
of Canadian patriotic societies met
to consider the proper celebration Of
the centenary Of the close Of the war
of 1872. Just why they should wish
to recall that conflict was something
it is often referred to as the second
war for independence" The United
States did not get much glory out
of the land battles in Canada. The
Of a puzzle. On this side of the line
administration of affairs a badly
botched. If 1T had not been for the
exploits on sea there should have
been slight reason for rejoicing. As
things turned out, the sins of ommi-
sion and commission were covered
up by iboasting about the battle of
New Orleans, fought after the treaty
of peace was signed. That made an
"old hero president of the United
States and political dictator for many
years.
Canada did not get much out of
the a Its soldiers fought we'll.
The monument to Brock OF the
heights opposite Lewiston stands
prominent as an evidence of appre-
citation of his military proves. But
the terms of the treaty of peace re-
stored things to THE condition before
the war. The territory acquired in
Maine was given up. When the end
came the boundary remained as it
had been except for the northeastern
controversy, which was not to be
settled until 1912. 1t would be hard
to figure out amy substantial gains by
Canada worthy of celebration a hun
dred years after the fighting was
over.
The peace idea, however, has a
good deal in it. An international
boundary, 5000 miles long without
a gun or identification tells of friend.
ly relations distinctly different from
those that are now existen abroad
where the frontier proclaims the
great military establishments sus-
tanned to keep the peace. There has
been some friction along the border
since 1915. The upper Canadian re
bellion and the American civil wal
had attendant frontier disturbances
But they we're Insignificant relative
ly. It would be a good plan for the
two countries ito get together in 10.
15, rejoice over the development dur.
ing a hundred years of peace, and
cement still more firmly the bonds
OF friendship. In many ways their
interests are one From every point
of view harmony and ujnbroken peace
are the ideals Through all the years
to come.

A Rival Panama Canal.

1t is we'll known that the route of
the canal we are building across the
Isthmus of Panama by no means ex-
hausts the canal possibilities in that
region. There are other routes in
volving, it has been supposed, greater
diflculEies. A recent cable from
Panama brings a story TO the effect
that a Chilean engineer in Column
bian employ has succeed in finding
a practicable route all on Columbian
soil. He claims to have traversed
the route in a canoe, and to have
found a pass through the Cordilleras
by which a connection to the Pacific
could be made with the Atrato river,
which flows northwest into the gulf
Of Darien. Such a canal would be
AZ miles long, and the highest point
along the route is lat feet above
sea level.
The Columbians are reported to
be greatly excited over the opportun-
ity which they think is thus present
ed of getting a canal built by Eng
fish capital OH their own soil and
finishing it before the American
is said to ,be to dig a six-foot sea lev
ell canal in one year, and in five
years dredge 1t to the depth OF forty
five feet at a cost of a hundred mill
lions.
The failure of Columbia's plan to
hold up the United States for a round
sum in return for the privilege of
digging the Panama canal still ran
kles at Bogata. The neat coup by
which Panama was detached from
Columbia, and, becoming an indie
pendent country, negotiated the nee
essary agreement, has been de-
nounced as sharp practice unworthy
of Uncle Sam. But no one denies
that Columbia got what she deserved
for standing in the way of the great
work that would benefit all the world
Her eagerness now to find an al
tentative canal route and start some
one digging at 1t, is perhaps natural.
NLU @
Unfortunately for Columbia the
mouth of the Atrato is involved in a
dispute over the boundary between
Panama and Columbia. The tripar-
tite agreement between the two 18TH
milan republics and the United States
WOULD. ii ratified, bring part of the
proposed route into Panaman term
ination of Columbian refuse to agree
to the treaty.
Even granting the discovery of
a practical route matter Of ex-
territory. Hence the announced ex-
ceeding dubiety-it is highly improb-
able that a rival canal can he start
ed. Especially is this the case since
the title to some OF the strip necee-
sary for such a work Is in dispute
between Panama and Columbia. Inc
Columbians have NO resources Of
their own, and English capital would
hesitate long before embarking on
SO precarious an enterprise.-Minne-

THE A

THE INCOME TAX
The income tax law is now
being given attention by the
lawmakers in Washington and
throughout. It is an engross-
ing question, admissible to
doubt as to its ACCESSIBILITY or
wisdom of adoption. Before
it can become a law it will have
to be ratified at a popular cleo
ton, and on this account it is
possible that all states will be
called upon to express them
selves. The measure now oc-
cupying attention is purely re-
publican, even though w. j..
Bryan has repeatedly referred
to legislation Of the nature and
has put his party on record ia
voring il. How it will be re-
ceiyed is merely a conjecture.
Gov. j. r. Shafroth Of Colo
RADIO has come forward endors-
ing it. Colorado is a demo-
cratic state and as such could
naturally be expected to take
the iniative so far as states are
concerned. but whether the
state will endorse the utter
ancces Of its executive is ahorse
of q different color, less posi-
tive. There are conflicting
opinions regarding the agita-.
ton for income tax, some peo-
pie holding it is only presented
for the purpose of diverting at
tention from the tariff legisla-
1'51' markseyer, is but an
ass1s lay Noble
foundstenable. In the light Of
present appearances there is a
sincerity about the movement
that must cause credence to be
put ia it's sincerity, and time
alone will deqelop its true inten-
ton. The business Of such a
tax properly enforced and adj
mlnistered cannot be question
cd, but great care must be exer-
cised.

The American commission GENT to
Liberia has returned after an alb
of two months. It's report is
about what vas predicted before the
members left In the United States.
Monrovia a found to be a thriv-
ing town of about $4,000 people,
fairly we'll educated and intelligent.
In the interior however. the inhab-
itants are little removed from bar
barism. There has been encroach-
ment along the boundaries ON, the
part Of the British. This resulted
from the inability of the Liberian
government to enforce order. The
British in Sierra Leon, we're COM
PEELED for their own protection, to
take hold of the matter with vigor.
They have policed a strip of terri
tory well inside of the recognized
boundary lines. But the representa-
tive Of the British foreign office who
had a share in the investigations of
the commission indicated a willing
ness to cooperate in every way with
SuO Ol11LCu SIdIcS 6ON0I11LQ0uC. lUCIV
was no apparent desire ON, the part
Of the British to take territory. The
wish to have their interests properly
safeguarded is natural and the a
ing to Liberia to preserve order or
some other power will do it appears
not improper. The commissioners
find that the negro state is much in
need of help to educate its people
and develop Its resources. The dam
ger of encroachment will exist as long
as conditions are unsettled. 1t may
be that the United States will have
to lend a helping hand, although the
doubt will remain whether the PEG.
pile of Liberia will ever be able to
maintain satisfactory government
without the presence of white meI
as administrators. At best the ex-
tent of the responsibility of the Uni.
ted States for the African republic
is a matter of opinion.

with the auction, giving four
weeks advertising. The road
has been in the hands of a re-
ceiver since January, 1908,
and cannot be bid in for less
than $l2, 600, 900. Misman-
rather than lack Of
business has placed the road in
the p~redicament, and it is pre-

Travelling Postomce,

One of the greatest advances ever
made in the postal service was the
origination nf the travelling post
office. This was started in 1862, and
has developed and grown into the
modern railway service. Instead Of
transporting the mails in bulk and
assembling them in large distribut-
ing postoffices for separation and dis
patch, they are sent directly to the
railway postofice to be distributed,
on their way ito destination. This
post office is a car or cars operated
in trains between important termin-
ais, fitted up and furnished with dis
tributing racks, in which railway pos
tai clerks distribute and handle the
mails carried. Here the mails are
made up for local delivery en- route,
and for dispatch to connecting lines.
The railway mail service directs
the dispatch Of all mails, determines
the routes over which they shall be
carried, and distributes them in route
so they are ready for delivery to Off
e along the line, and in some cases
makes separation for city delivery
ON arrival at large terminals. To
conduct this service there are 1926
officers and clerks employed in it at
q cost of over $18,3O0,0O a year.
The railway postofnce lines cover
,208.481 miles Of steam, electric and
steamboat routes.
The training Of the railway postal
clerk is acquired by constant study
OF the names and locations Of post
Offices and schemes of distribution,
and by the performance of his duties.
His vocation Isl hazardous one. Last
year six clerks we're killed. 104 SER
iously and $50 slightly injured in
4Ob railroad accidents.
Where the distribution space need
ed exceeds thirty feet Of q car, the
Office authorizes the company to fur
nish q specially built railway post
office car and allows additional pay
for 1t. The cost Of this car service is
over $4.60O,000 a year.-Joseph

enue can only be achieved by
intensive cultivation, which
precludes the possibility Of
large holdings Of land and en-
courages the concentration Of
labor on small farms.
In the fruit belts of Texas,
Washington, Oregon, Colorado,
Idaho and Montana an acre Of
apple orchard will yield ST, 900
to $1,000 worth of apples that
are unrivaled in appearance
and flavor. American apples
are in large export demand and
an over supply is not appre-
hended, as consumption of APP
pies is equal to production at
very remunerative prices. In
favored localities farmers can
realize a gross income of $500
per acre for fruits or garden
vegetables when the small farm
is operated to it's full capacity
under modern scientific cultiva-
ton.
The future agricultural de-
velopment Of the country will
be characterized by small farms
operated by a system Of inten-
sive cultivation. The farmer
with a son inclined to agricul-
ture may not be able to buy
for him a quarter-section in the
corn belt, yet he can purchase 9
ten-acre farm in the irrigated
district whore the gross income
from fruit or vegetables may
equal the revenue of the 100
acre farm in the corn belt. The
advantages of social life ant
time for recreation and self-im
provement are greater in a dis
trict of small farms than in
locality featured by large farm
devoted to live stock industr,
or grain production. Th,
small farm is increasing in pop
ularity and promises to revolu
tionize future agriculture
|Small farms will eliminate tn
present trend Of migration from
the country to the great cite

perity by increasing the mum
yfber of land owners and enlare

Trne Tale of a Tailor.

Though it takes nine tailors to
make a man." one tailor may make
an honest man and thereby hangs a
tale. A few days ago a guest of
the Miller hotel entrusted a suit of
clothes to the genial gentleman
with the Celtic name who presides
so amiably over the Office of that
hosiery. with instructions to send
it out to be cleaned and pressed.
The suit was given to a tailor whose
shop is on 18th street Just below
the hotel. The day following, it
was returned and with it an en-
velope containing i've twenty dol
lar bills that had been found in a
pocket of the garment in question.
The owner of the coat was puzzled,
not knowing whether to be more
astonished at the return of the
money or at its presence in the coat
pocket. For self preservation, he
has requested that his name be
withheld until his departure from
town as otherwise he might have to
should in answering calls of green
goods men and other gentry with a
talent for separating people from
their money.
And the little tailori What of
him? Oh. h is cleaning and pres
sing and cutting and sawing,-do-
ing the work that is before him anu
stopping sometimes to chuckle at
the huge joke on that American
who haa one hundred dollars in his
pocket and did not know it.
