ADAMS. APPLE ADDRESS.

Two hundred enthusiastic apple
growers from seven States were IN
session in Denver last week holding
pie Congress. Twelve of the growers
were women. The objects which led
to the convention were: to bring about
closer cooperation among apple grow
ers; to create closer relationship
among them, both socially and pro-
fessionally; to take steps to improve
the market for apples; to advance the
interests of the growers in all other
possible ways and to establish per-
manent apple show
Many interesting things about the
great fruit We're brought out. Cover
nor l.. b. Prince, of New Mexico, de-
clared that his State is the home of
apple culture in the United States and
he suggested that picture of the ap-
pie trees at Manana. New Mexico, the
Oldest in tho country, should be placed
on the seal of the Congress. These
trees are now 500 years old.
The apple figures very prominently
in the resources of Colorado and for
mer Governor Alva Adams OF that
State delivered himself of many apple
epigrams, starting out by extolling the
apple as Character builder" and
rmortgage payer" The interest IN
Virginia in apples is very great, the
apples grown here are famous through
out the world, and what MIR. Adams
said about the apple will be generally
approved in Virginia. According to
the Rocky aountain Times. here are
the epigrams of the former Governor
of Colorado:
The apple is an asset, financially,
morally and politically
y little land and a living is the so-
gan Of the hour.
The apple Is the aristocrat OF foods
and the best medicine.
The climate and conditions that arc
best for apples are best for man.
Anarchy never gathered fruit from
its own apple tree.
Apple orchards are better nurseries
of citizenship than the deck of battle
ships or military camps
The lnen in the orchard is always a
good citizen.
Horticulture is science, not a
guess.
The twentieth century is to be the
age OF the apple, and Colorado is to
be the center of its empire.
The apple barrel is natures medi-
cine chest.
/ would rather trust judge tnat
loves apples than one that bankers
after bear meat.
Apples are an antidotc for drink and
tobacco.
Apples carry the pure food stamps
of tne Great Physician.
The road that leads TO the orchard
is the pathway to simple, happy,
prosperous life.
In his Western Eden Adams was per-
haps much more eulogistic than some
other Adamses nave been far across
the seas. but the apple Is much more
popular than il used TO be.

THE wan SCARE AND THE TARIFF

The New York Herald has taken q
census OF Congress on two important
duestons--the increase OF the standing
army and fertilization of the Panama
Canal. and the revision of the tariff.
In the opinion of majority of the
members who were interviewed on the
subject and in the opinion, also, OF many
of the most accomplished of our military
strategists and real fighting men,
neither the increase of the army nor
the fortifcation of the Canal is to ne
desired A larger army is not re-
CURED for the National defence and
the battleships of the navy stationed
at either terminus of the Canal would
provide ample protection for it against
possible seizure and with these floating
fortresses on duty there would be no
use for land batteries.
There is unquestionably great merit
in this view, which has the approval
of such captains in the art of war as
admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral

a LAwLEss LAND.

Richard Olncy has Just retired from
the presidency of the Massachusetts
Bar Association, and in his annual adj
dress last Saturday said some very
true things about the United States
and the world wide reputation of this
country for lawlessness, a subject that
is of far greater Importance really
than preparing for war against no.
body in particular. 1t is true, as Mr..
o'ney said, that I'VE are distinguished
among the nations for widespread and
chronic lewlessness" that 'Iynchings
for homicide are actually more numer-
Gus than legal executions" that the
rich malefactor runs only slight risk
of punishment for his crimes, and
that radical reforms In the applica-
ton and execution of the laws and OF
tic criminal laws in particular. are
tmpcratively required This is es-
pecially so in the States, in many of
which the law and the practice have
been made apparently in the interest
of the criminal classes, and not for the
protection of society ana the peace
and dignity Of the state. The activ-
ity of Judge Lynch, who as Mr. olney
said, seems to be CONSTANTS in ses-
sion can be accounted for largely by
the delays of the law in the orderly
administration OF justice. II is the
letter OF the law and not the spirit
which controls, the ignorance OF iuries,
the pettifogging OF counsel, the mar
row restrictions placed upon the judges
that have made the people TO lose faith

resort 10 the Judgment OF the mob

In Congress days and weeks and
months are spent in passing bIls to
get something more out OF the Treas
ury and in the state Legislatures time
is wasted on cross roads enterprises in
stead OF serious work for the improve
ment of the laws so that they would
promote the welfare and protect the
lives and property OF the people There
is no danger that the law VIII not fnai-
