The speech was at a banquet Of re-

The newspapers Of the country han
died 1t very literally. and that should
seem to be enough, SO far as pub

New Paper-maIzing Process.

Just now while there is so much dis
cussion about the price of paper, a
matter which formed one of the lead
ing subjects under discussion while the
the description by Consul r, e. Holla-
day of Santiago of a practical test to
be made in eastern Cuba looking to
the. production of a paper from sugar
cane fibre, is intensely interesting.
Consul Holiday explains that the man
ufacture of paper from bagasse, the
dry refuse of sugar cane after the
juice has been expressed, has often
been advocated but never accomplish
ed on a commercial scale. The in
creased cost of wood pulp has stimu-
lated experiments for solving this
problem. 1t has long been known that
excellent paper can be made from
sugar cane fiber, but the difficulty has
been to preserve the fiber intact while
extracting the juice for sugar making.
The present machinery cuts and tears
the fiber SO that the bagasse is fit only
for fuel.
A company organized in the United
States is constructing large plant at
Preston, on Nipe bay, to make prac-
teal test of a patented process for ex-
pressing the juice and conserving the
fiber and pulp for paper. The fiber is
from the pulp by machinery,
and then by evaporation the water is
leaving the dry fiber and
pulp containing the solids and sucrose,
from which sugar is made. The fiber
and pulp are then baled separately for
shipment to the United States, where
the sugar is extracted by diffusion.
By this treatment the fiber is unin-
iured and can be used in making high |
grade paper at a considerable saving |
as compared with the cost of wood |
pulp. The residue from the pulp is |
also suitable for low-grade paper. 1t |
IS claimed that the preliminary tests on |
4 small scale have proved successful, |
and that in addition to preserving the !
oagasse for paper manufacture, a |
larger percentage of sucFose is OBJ !
tanned than is possible by the present |
of extraction in sugar houses. |
The result of the experiment will be |
with much interest by cane |
sugar producers and manufacturers, be-
,ause If successful it will revolution
re the sugar business in all cane |
countries.

FIELD OF LITERATURE

The Man of the Hour in Kansas
Jay E. House in Human Life for
March tells a powerful human inter

political turmoil and unrest Which
has shriyen the west during the past
five years, no other personality so
distinctive and unusual has been dis

the first legislature in which he sat
convened, and in his innocence mag

sort of voice in it's affairs. So when
on the very first day, the machine"
got a majority large enough to do
anything it liked, and proceeded TO
distribute the loaves and fishes, he
was amazed and disguised. He pro-
tested, and his protests made about
as much impression apparently as a
mosquito bite on a dreadnought. No

Cannon More of an Anarchist-NIaker
Than Emma Goldman.


People who are interested in Emma
Goldman and her doctrines will be in
terested In reading the article about
her in the March American magazine.
part of which is quoted as follows:
Emma Goldman, now about 43
years old, is a Jewess who was born
In Russia. She came to this country
as a comparatively young girl. Her
relatives were among the sufferers in
various anti-Jewish outbreaks. The
story is told, although not confirmed,
that her father was murdered in her
presence, during a Jewish massacre.
AS to her beliefs, we quote our in
formant as follows:
.''," Emma Goldman is an anarchist.
In the common view, all anarchists
are of the same~type, and all odious
and dangerous. AS a matter OF fact
anarchists are widely divided among
themselves. Emma Goldman, for ex-
ample, IS distinctly a revolutionist.
but not terrorist. The assassination
of rulers is no part of her program;
nor does she in any way, directly or
indirectly, countenance it
Her faults are those of occasional
intolerance, imprudence and a degr9
of narrowness and fanaticism. Her
virtues are those Of self-devotion, kind
Illness, raight-forwardness, courage
and sympathy. Her propaganda, con-
trary to some impressions. has always
been an object of selfsacrif1ce to her,
rather than a source of income. She
las always been hard worker, sup
porting herself by the labor of her
own hands chiefly in the capacity of
professional nurse
IN most quarters Emma Goldman
is not taken seriously. A famous
. western newspaper editor of republi-
scan faith recently said:
Emma Goldman, in her palmiest
days, never made 80 many anarchists

brazil, ITS RICHNESS.
AND INDUSTRIES
A New Book Setting Forth is Politi-
cal and Industrial Development


Few persons are aware of the extreme
richness of the United States of Brazil,
the largest and most important of the
South American republics, and to sup
ply full historical and industrial infor
nation, the government of that country
has had prepared a voluminous work in
two volumes which is shortly to make
its appearance in English.
In 1905, the Brazilian Minister of
Means, Transportation, Industry and
Public Works ordered the preparation OF
this work, and it was accomplished after
three years arduous labor under the di
rection of DR. Vieira Souto, Professor
Of the Polytechnic School of Rio de
Janiero. and at present Director of the
Mission of Economic Expansion with
Offices in Paris, France. The work was
first published in Portuguese. then trans
lated into French, and has just been pre-
pared afresh in English. It is in two
volumes of 1000 pages each, copiously
illustrated
The work describes in detail the ex-
traordinary rapidity with which The po-
litical and industrial development OF
the country has gone forward, and
in the section devoted to the conquest
of the SOIL it reads like a great 20
nance of adventure. The manner in
which Brazil has taken hold of and
solved her question of public health
might serve as a lesson to the nations,
for she has driven out the yellow fever
scourge completely, bringing her NOR
tality tables down far below those of any
European city. The Rio de Janeiro fig
ure now standing at 2o7, the European
average running to eos.
Within the space of "a years the pop
ulation of Brazil has gone up from some
100000 to over 100000, an increase
of over one hundred per cent. In 1903,
her exports were I85 millions, and four
years later had risen to. 272 millions.
Every phase of industry has gone for
ward rapidly, and the great republic
with 10000 square miles more territory
than the United States, is coming rap
idly 10 tux front among the nations, for
her richness of resource is almost be
yond belief. The new book viii be ready

Mr.. Rulrs Scare.


John Bull is almost scared to death
And feeling mighty blue.
He sputters as he looks around
And drops an n or two.
The Germans are constructing ships,
And when they come TO fight,
AS he is certain that they Will,
His isle won't be so tight.
All the amusement that he has
Is being scared TO death,
And this excitement leaves him stiff
And somewhat out OF breath.
With large round eyes ne looks ahead
Into the future dim,
And all he can observe is just
The double cross for him.
1t seems the cunning German race
Has swiped his copyright
On owning world supremacy
And all the ships in sight,
For every time he builds a boat
They build a boat 10 match.
And he Is sure they're all designed
To prey upon his patch.
It's mighty hard to spend an age
In getting to the front
And have an interloper come
A-camping on the stunt.
To keep up with the race he fears
That he must pawn his shirt.
It's passing sad to see him rave
And cry before he's hurt.
