SEVERE TESTS FOR
. THE FRANKLIN CARS
Factory Demonstrators Put
Through a Hard Course for
Benefit of Agents


On one of the recent test runs which
the H. H. Franklin manufacturing
company of Syracuse, N. Y, is daily
giving to its dealers to show the Frank
lin 1910 automobiles under severe road
conditions. there were men represent
ing automobile interests from the At
lantic to the Pacific. The party in the
car included: H. J.. Banta of Spokane,
Wash; H. p. Grant of Seattle, WASH;
]. D. Moore of Boise, Idaho; w. s.
Port of Philadelphia, Pa; and Captain
Gated at Fort Leavenworth.
The trip was down the Onondaga
valley from Syracuse to Cardiff, up a
hill about mile in length, one of the
steepest ascents in the state of New
York, to Lafayette, along the ridge
overlooking Onondaga valley to Tully,
from Tully to Preble. where a climb up
Mount Taupin, a very steep climb of 1000
feet, was made. From this point the
route turned to the east and went over
succession of hills varying in length
and steeppess, all of which were ex-
ceedingly rough and rugged. until the
valley of Sherburn was reached.
From there the course turned to
Utica, from which point the return run
was Indue. Ono Oh the cars OH tile Trip,
a 1910 six cylinder model, started in on
a record run from Utica to Syracuse, a
distance of SO miles, which it covered
with it's load of seven passengers in
1 hour and Is minutes, which equals the
running time of the fast mail and is
but 10 minutes slower than the Empire
state express.
The whole demonstration was planned
with the idea of putting the 1910 ma
phiuaS a in
order to demonstrate to the western
dealers that the cooling properties of
the 1910 Franklins were beyond ques-
tion of doubt.

CUBA TO THE cusAns.


 The United States is starting the New Year by redeenang its pledge to the Cubsns and already. the first de- tachment of troops is being placed aboard transports 10 return to the United States and leave Cuba again to the Cubans.
 This Is the second American evac- uation of the island. On May 20. 1902. the control was voluntarily turned over to the Cuban government under President Palmer. The fall are of the first government to main tain order again compelled ths United States 10 take up the task os restoring peace and the opportunity for successful self-government to the Cuban people. Within two years and half this task Sas accomplished with the election of the Gomez gov ernment. Thus twice have we put away the temptation to hold the Gem of the Antilles. We may have to re turn to Cuba for further aid in es- tablishing- good government by and for The Cubans; but the fixedness of American purpose 10 be a helpful friend and to establish real Cuban independence has been made plain.
 Unquestionably this sincere course of helpfulness and generous self denial toward Cuba represents the sentiment of the American people l Ferrero, who has drawn an interest ing parallel between the Roman and American republics. may well note this extraordinary act as marking . difference in ideals. purposes. method. between the ancient and the modern republic which points to | wide divergence fin destiny.
 Without dwelling upon the inyidi ous comparisons between our Cuban policy and the policy of other na tions toward weak wards-of England n South Africa, India and Egypt Russia in Finland--we may be par doned for feeling n just pride in thi' example of national generosity Al act of this kindis Teore significant O national greatness than the farthest flung line of battleships and the wid est boundary of subject colonies.

caucus. agreement would have left illfeeiing and have disturbed the or ganization. Doubtless the agreement by which Charles P. Taft and Foraker withdraw was prompted by consider ation of party peace.
 But as an incident to the agree ment we learn 1t has been decided that MT. Taft as a reward for his abnegation. shall succeed Senator Dick two years hence. This promis- ing of future preierment as the re ward of present retirement is the very essence of machine politics. It takes no account of anything but the perpetuation of the organization and sneers at ability. qualification and the desires of the Teople.
 The astonishing thing about the re suit in Ohio is that. as the conse quence of such manipulation, there has been secured fer the senate man so we'll qualified as Burton.

DRY EARN MING.

The growth of the Trans-MissoGri Dry Farming Congress in three years, from a somewhat local movement among Colorado Dry Farmers" to great international Congress in which representatives of millions of acres of lands in the arid districts of the world are working together to study the problems confronting the "arid land" farmer, is enc of the interest ing developments of the year. Hon. E1ihu Root, secre.iry of state, has just issued letters from the state de partment. inviting the ambassadors and ministers of all nations represent ed in Washington to participate in the coming third Congress of the Dry Farmers, and all nations having dis tricts where the natural rainfall is slight and where irrigation is impos- sible, will be urged to send delegates to attend the congress and to study there the methods advocated by the western farmers, who have been mastering the problems and have all ready made good"
 The third congress will open in Cheyenne. Wyoming. February 2sd next and will continue three days.
 Already Algeria, Turkey. Turke- stan, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico have joined the congress the memberships being in the names of the agricultural secretaries and these countries wi;i probably make a special effort to place reports before the congress and to discuss their needs and conditions. Australia re gently sent Commissioner Straw bridge of the Department of Agri culture and Senato,' James Mccall as agents for the government to study western conditions and the so cial Dry Farming methods in prac- tice. They have just issued 100 page report showing the conclusions reached after comparing American conditions with those in Australia

HOME FOR PIONEERS,


 PIONEERS.
 The Tombstone Prospector, second ing a suggestion of the International. made recently. says:
 In a recent issre of the Douglas Observation-Disclosures there ap- peared what we consider commend able and notable stand in support of the moyemoal for a Pioneer Home for Arizona
 The matter vas brought before the legislature at one time, but in the wrangie and jsngle over appropria tions and a dozaa different selfish ends. it was side-traeked.
 The review of the matter by the internsticraI-Americ is calculated to remind the ArizeEa statesman that this matter is not to be ignored, that they will again find it necessary to  face Il. and that 1ery member who votes to bury | will be put on record in the breast of eTery p -ueer and svery good citizen who respects the broken-down pfvneev.
 The legislature. after Colonel Pos ten had spent neat fortune in and for Arizona. and practically devoted his life to her, voted him the little pension of ss5 per month for his maintenance.
 That was bettev than nothing. Now there are many others who have labored equally hard for the magnih- cent embric commonwealth of Ari- zona, unthoughtf.i of the future in their ardent advocacy Of every meas ure that added to the glory and the prosperity of Arizona. and they are. all equally entitled to the same meas ure of recognition.
 The Prospector believes that we can afford pioneers home. further more, we cannot afford to ignore the proposition and the International American is entitled to great credit for sounding ths key note in the premises

THE sPINELEss CACTUS.

Luther Burbank. the wizard king or vegetation. in a recent lecture tells story of the spineless cactus that reads like a chapter in Aladdin's lamp. Of the plan;, he says 100 tons can be grown on single acre of arid desert, every pound of 1t excellent forage for live stock, while the fruit contains Is per ceft of sugar, and Is ..as xsoiescme as an apple"
 If that be so. Sahara may become the seat of pooulous nation. ao sa l@ir oxn country tens of thonsanc @f square miles long regarded as uf terly worthless may be turned int homesteads for prosperous farmer. and herdsmen. Tie wild cactus is used in Mexico in abundant quanti- ties for purposes of distillation. and from it's fruit and roots are extracted alcoholic and fermented liquors that make the national tipple; but if MT. Burbank's dream Is realized mankind will get most of the sugar of com merce from the despised and rather repulsive vegetation of the desert. But the sugar is only a by-product, the fodder yielding a crop more abundant and as valuable as clover for farm animals.
 fit is predicted t1al when the des- ert is made to yield to the limit of its possibilities spireless cactus re fined sugar will be sold at the cross road 40 pounds for dollar When that day comes. # ever, the. sugar schedule will give cur tariff tinkers a great deal less trouble than it has in the past CT is likely to next spring.
 There is no nobicr study than that of botany. of which the average man is densely and dehantly ignorant. For more than two centuries civilized 1 man has devoted ceaseless thought. | laborious energy, and prodigal ex' pense to the improvement of farm animals. When Prirce Charlie made his glorious contribution to history and romance in 1745, the average dressed carcass that supplied "the roast beef of Old England" weighed little more than 200 pounds, and the yield of mutton and pork was diminu. tive in like degree.
 The world has seen what a vast i'm provement there has been in horses cattle, sheep. swine. and poultry; but there has been no corresponding i'm provement in the seeds of farm crops The increased yields of the field have come iron more intelligent farming and more thorough foliage. Ever greater beneficial results will be de rived from the selection and adapta tion of seeds.
 We hear of potatoes running out, and grains. That Is true but it is duc 
 to the ignorance of the husbandman who regards anything that Is DO tato. or anything that is grain. a' fit for seed.
 This Luther Burbank has earned enough gratitude to erect to him after he shall have been gathered tC his fathers-and may that time prove remote-a monument "cloud-cappet lIts summit"
 It is not necessary to humiliate tht people of Arizona to get the territory into the union. If tue republicans ot the nation and the territory win keeI she:r promises.
