England has probably never taken a

tics of the United States than Il Is
doing now. The leading papers al.
most daily publish long dispatches
/ which are refreshing change from
/ the sensational futihties that the Lon.
don press, generally speaking, too of.
ten serves up to its readers as Amori-
can.
Roosevelts personality Is, of course
] the chief reason for this unusual in
terest. Among Englishmen who met
him during his visit here there is an
almost unanimous conviction that he
will again be President, and it is by
no means rare to find the belief that
his next occupancy of the White
House will be marked by develop
ments toward a dictatorship.
Punch this week satirizes this idea
in an article headed "H. /. NJ. the EN-
peror OF America" and purporting to
! be sent to the London Times on Oc-
tober 4, 1910 by it's New York cor
respondent. Some extracts follow:
This morning, Mr.. Roosevelt by
a daring coup de main has overthrow
the Republican institutions under
which these states had existed for 134
years, possessed himself of the SUI
preme executive power and has
promptly been proclaimed Emperor of
America.
This astounding revolution has so
far been unaccompanied by any effu-
sion of blood. The secret, though it
should have been known to 100 con-
spirators, had been we'll kept and the
strong measures taken by His Impe-
rial Majesty and his friends paralyzed
the spirit of resistance that might 9TH
erwise have manifested itself.
"At 3 a. m. the White House was
surrounded by strong detachment of
Rough Riders and Mr.. Taft and his
family were arrested in their beds
They were subsequently conveyed to
an unknown destination. At the same
time the Vice President and members
of the Cabinet were seized and inn
prisoned The chiefs of the army and
navy have already sworn allegiance to
the new sovereign.
"At 10 a. m. his Majesty, attended
by a princess of the Imperial House
and accompanied by a brilliant suite,
rode through the streets of Washing
ton amid deafening popular acclama-
tions.
Hating before the Capitol he made
an impassioned speech calling on all
those who valued stability of govern
ment and believed in his policies to
rally round his throne and his person.
He had, he said, entrusted the pre-
| servatiOn of public order to the edi-
torial board of the Outlook, and any
complaints ought to be addressed to
| them, though for his part he could
not conceive that any loyal subject
should want to complain of anything
The great policy of conservation

His Majesty concluded by saying
that he was having a bully time.

Therefore, very few pineapples are
exported raw, and most of these 20
to the Pacific Coast markets.
Since pineapples were not planted
merely to please the eye of the own
er, the problem which confronted the
FARMER was that of marketing his
crop profitably. To Mr.. Dole the idea
was to get the fruit to the States m
as perfect shape as he himself en-
1oyed it in in Honolulu. Here was
another problem in specialization.
The fruit was picked at its best, per-
fectly canned, and was delivered TO
the American housewife, and the
young Boston college man who start
ed with forty acres now has thous-
ands of acres and millions of cans
of pineapples.
But there was. still another problem
in his specialization. 1t is the Juice
of the pineapple which is pleasant to
the buyer and if this juice could be
exported by itself, there would be
much conservation both of energy and
! expense. Dole experimental and per
fected a process which would pre-
serve the full flavor of one of those
globules of solidifed juice which make
up the pineapple eaten where grown,
and without the addition of even a
small amount of sugar, which is US
