AMERICA PROSPEROUS.

The fact that thousands of Ameri-
cans are rushing across the ocean to
spend their money and that the farm
ers who stay at home are buying au-
tomobiles may be taken as an indiea-
ton that the United States is in a
highly prosperous condition.
AS further indication of such pros
perity it may be stated that $4,000
600 worth OF diamonds have been i'm
ported into this country during the
past ten months.
Nothing like the present era of
prosperity ever existed in the history
of the world. Yet the Democrats pro-
pose to go into the campaign this fan
with the expectation of making the
people believe their hard times
story.

FARMERS LEAVING ENGLAND.

good illustration of what free
trade does to the farmers may be
found in the fact that immigrants
from the rural districts of England
are flocking to this country, Canada,
anywhere to escape the
blight that has been slowly settling
upon the British Isles since the days
of Golden
Fifty farmers from one community
in England recently sailed from Liver
pool. bound for Canada The men
and their families looked fairly pros
porous, so one of the newspaper re-
porters who observed them asked
why they were leaving the land of
their birth to go among strangers in
some foreign cline thousands of miles
away
The leader of the party declared
they were leaving England because
farming no longer paid in that coun-
try. and they did not desire to become
public charges.

NUNS THE WORD.

Clifford Pinchot has returned from
his European trip in time to hear the
echoes of the denunciation of Attor-
ney Vertrees delivered in the closing
hours OF the trial of the celebrated

He declined to discuss his visit with
former President Roosevelt or to
comment upon the defense of Secre-
tary Ballinger, which leads one to be-
lieve that the former forester regrets
that he started the ball rolling in the

WOMEN RUE TEHUANTEPEc.
One Place Where the Female Rei3ns
Supreme.

Woman dominates the city on the
torrid isthmus of Tehuantepec. Here
her rights are recognized and undis-
puted. The women run the place and
do 90 per cent. of the business. A
striking characteristic of these TIE
hunana beauties is their commercial
enterprise. In the market place.
where most of the bartering is done.
they reign supreme. The wife owns
the property. she holds the family
purse-strings. and she must even
vouch FOR the husband before he can
obtain credit. Not only are the wom-
en- the power in the district. but they
are fully aware of it; they delegate
all of the mental work. save the
cooking. to the men. and devote their
energies to trade. which is so fully
in their hands that all commercial
transactions in Tehauntepec are done
by them or require their sanction
They are Tehuantepec-tbey in their
barbaric colors-treading the earth
as If 1t were theirs. while the little
men shamble about with tie dogs, the
one as degraded as the other.

district is. indeed. certain old wom-

in a position to have her advice &C.
cepted and her dictates obeyed. Every
important transaction, political or f.
nancial, requires her approval; no Of
fetal could be elected or hold office
in the district for a minute unless
given her support; illustrious strang-
ers would not dream of crossing the
isthmus without stopping at her plan
tation to pay their respects, the rail
way contractors depend on her to
keep their turbulent workmen In OF

what Insurance companies they are

all except three OF the men named
as members of the Virginia commit

Scope Of "Pink Slip"
Captain Berkeley handed the wit
ness a Newport News insurance rate
book and began examining him WITH
a view of proving that the pink
slip" increasing Newport News rates
was intended to apply to ali property
in and around the city included IN
the Newport News book and map
There followed an argument between
counsel, the defense claiming that
the slip showed upon its face to
what It was intended to apply. The
Judge overruled the objection, but as
Mr.. Saunders was unable to speak
without referring to his files with
certainty about policies written by
him in the vicinity, this line OF ex-
animation was temporarily abandoned

the witness a newspaper clipping con

committee to prepare a schedule OF

from the court room in order that the
I contents of the resolution might be
used in the argument on this point
The resolution was read. 1t author

Warning OF another violent north

Atlantic coast from Cape Hat;eras 10
Eastport, Me-, was sent out at 2:3O
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by the
weather bureau at We shington. I'm
mediately upon the receipt OF the
message, Collector of Customs Stuart
displayed the northwest storm signals
at the Casino display tower.
The message from Washington
states that a disturbance over Lake
Ontario was moving eastward and
would cause increasing southwest
winds shifting to high northwest last
night. The storm probably will con
tinue today and will be of great In.
tensity along the Atlantic coast.
Storm signals are being displayed
from Hat:eris to Eastport and sailing
craft ready 10 put TO sea will remain
in harbor until the storm passes.
Soon after the warning was receiv-
ed here. the sky became overcast with
clouds and the brisk southwest wind
which had prevailed al, day freshened
somewhat. Rain fell last night
and late in the night the wind shifted
to the northwest.

Common Sense In a Police Court.

Justice is occasionally tempered
with mercy and common sense even
in the policy courts Of Philadelphia
Recently Magistrate Scott had be-
fore him youth charged with hay
ing taken scent pack of playing
cards from the counter of a store.
He asked the prosecutor, DO you
think 1. right to put the brand OF
criminal on a boy for cents?' The
prosecutor replied that IL the prisoner
would steal a small article, he would
possibly seal something OF greater
value If opportunity offered. Then"
said the magistrate, how was II that
your firm was willing to drop. the
charges against s clerk who was be-
fore me some time ago for embez-
zlinx several thousands OF dollars
when that person promised to repay
the money? II it is the money you
want. l will order the boy TO pay you
3 cent?, sand discharge him, too.
The boy paid, and was discharged.
He and the prosecutor had both been
taught lesson. The probability Is
that the boy will never steal again
and that his accuser will never again

missing stowaway was captured by

Agent Leslie will appear in the fed
eral court ct Norfolk Monday to an.
swer for the skipper and will pay
whatever fine is imposed The law
provides that for this osfense the
captain may be fined not less than
500 nor more than $1,000. AS the
stowaway has been captured, the
minimum fine probably will be impos-
ed. The stowaway boarded the ship
at Puerto Mexico and escaped from
the craft when she locked at one Of
the local coal piers.

An effort by the commonwealth yes

Southeastern Underwriters Associa-

this year, adopted resolution. in
structing its executive committee to
formulate schedules of additional
rates to offset what the insurance
companies regard as excessive taxa
ton. with further additions to com
bat as well as offset excessive nat
license tax charges, precipitated one
of the most important arguments be-
tween counsel in the insurance case
that has taken place since Judge Bar
ham overruled the demurrer and mo-
tion to quash the warrants.
Captain Berkeley and Mr.. Lett, for
the commonwealth, urged strongly
that proof of the, passage CT this reio-
luton would show, or tend to show,
the motive OF the combine in increas-
ing the insurance rates in Newport

that the insurance men knew. or

date of the offense charged against
