R0YALISTS STILL ACTIVE,
SAY SPANISH DISPATCHES
Possibility Of Civil War in North
ern Portugal Asserted.
ENGLAND PROTECTING MANUEL
Deposed King Safe at Gibraltar
Receives Visits From British
Officials OF Stronghold on
Mediterranean

The American cruiser Des
Molnes, now at Gibraltar, has
been dispatched to Lisbon by di-
rection OF President Taft.
Discounting the completeness
OF the success of the republican
cause in Portugal, the Spanish
government continues to guard
against trouble at home.
The possibility of civil war in
northern Portugal is considered
in dispatch from Spanish
source.
Fighting between loyal and
revolutionary troops at Setubal
is told of in a dispatch from
Madrid to Paris. The loyalty OF
rural districts is also set forth in
Spanish accounts of the revolu-
ton.
Continued activity of royalist
opposition to the new Braga ad-
ministration is reported in Paris
newspapers.
On the other hand, the accept
ance of the republic by Oporto
and other cities in Portugal and
the absolute quiet in Lisbon
while the new ministry is taking
up the reins of government are
told of in other dispatches.
The Portuguese representative
at Berlin has called at the foreign
office, on orders from Lisbon, to
notify the German government OF
the institution of the republic.
The Braga government has an
nounced through the foreign press
the aims and purposes of its ad-
ministration.
The censorship at Lisbon has
been relaxed somewhat, and dis
patches come more freely from
the scene of the. revolution. All
confirm earlier reports that the
revolutionists are in complete
control of the capital, and that
the infant republic is making
progress. The republic has been
proclaimed also at many points
in the provinces.
Three regiments of infantry
from the country reached Lisbon
today and joined the revolution
lists. The casualties in the recent
fighting are placed at 1900.
King Manuel is the guest of
Great Britain. He remains on
board the imperial yacht Amelia,
which arrived off Gibraltar last
night. The British officials paid
visits of respect to the Portu-
guese monarch today and sur
rounded his yacht with patrol
boats to safeguard the royal fam
ily.

Of the evening. He said in part:
1.-THE punishment of crime is impor

ger and more important achievement is
the prevention of crime. The duty of q
government comprises not merely the
negative element of punishment, but tc
create a sociological environment leading
to an upright life.

great metropolis there is a vast improve
ment. Laws grow better and conditions
grow better. The forces for good are
more powerful now than ever before"
The adoption of the following resolution
by the general assembly yesterday after
noon marks an epoch in the history OF
the congress of nations:
1.-The indeterminate sentence should be
applied to the morally and mentally de-
fective, and it should also be applied as
an important part Of the reformatory
system
The congress also went on record as IA
voring the following:
The extension Of probation. with some
central authority in each country to ex-
ercise general supervision over probation
work.
The consideration of participation In
criminal acts or agreements as an ag-
gravating circumstance. and the augmen-
tation of the power of the courts to in
crease the penalty for such offenses.
Penal procedure for young delinquents
different from that applied to adults,
with especial care for the cl1ild's welfare
and with view to keeping the child as
far removed as possible from the atmos-
phere OF q court or prison.
Reformation treatment combined with
q system Of liberation and parole under
suitable guardianship and supervision on
advice Of q suitable board, with special
treatment for adolescent criminals suf-
fciently long to permit o. the full appli-
cation Of all possible means Of reforma-

The Humiliation of Mr.. Cannon.

The stirring upheaval in congress
that has been in progress practically
all week, and for which the seeds we're
sown in the beginning OF the extra ses-
sion last year, has resulted in com
plete humiliation of Speaker Cannon.
While there is a pathetic side to his
discontinue through such a decisive
reputation after a long career of use
ful service crowned with four elections
to preside over the house, Mr.. Cannon
cannot escape responsibility for hav-
ing brought this plight upon himself.
The clouds have been gathering
above him for long time, and it has
been clear for months that his con
tinuance in the speakership after this
term was impossible. Although he
could easily have saved himself and
lifted the load from the shoulders of
his republican associates and colleagues
by recognizing the inevitable and with
drawing himself from the list of those
to be considered for speaker by the
next congress, he either refused to
recognize the situation or was blind
to it.
1t is a reasonable inference that had
Mr.. Cannon at the beginning of this
session or, perhaps, even so late as a
month ago announced his intention to
retire at the close of this present term,
no coalition would have been formed
between the democrats and insurgents
or IL effected, would have gone to such
lengths, and he would, himself, occupy
stronger position before the people
than he does today. If there we're any
possessed of doubt as to the impending
retirement of Mr.. Cannon, irrespective
of party control of the next house, that
doubt must now be dispelled.
Whether the new committee on rules
with the speaker eliminated works out
any better than the old committee, of
which the speaker was, by virtue of
his office, a member, will depend
largely upon the personnel of the first
committee as 1t is to be composed. 1t
is sort of grim humor that the hui
initiation of Mr.. Cannon IS at the same
time in one respect a vindication in
proving beyond peradventure his con-
tention that under the existing rules,
clear majority of the house could ac-
complish anything it set about.

Tonic Of the Country Town.

Denver 1epuDlCdt.
He who has never called a country town
his home has missed much He who has not
had his first look upon the world from some
little village which at the dawn Of con-
seriousness spelled all the world to him
and held in its bounds all the people, will
always lack something in his sense OF his
proper adjustment to creation. 1t is in
them that the truest friendships are
formed, the closest studies of human ma
ture provided, the most lasting hold given
on the eternal truths Only as a little
child can the kingdom be entered, and
that is as true Of the kingdom OF earth
as of that one of which 1t was first said
Go closer into the records of these boys
off the farms and you will find that it
was from the country towns, rather than
the farms, they came; that 1t was some
country village that inspired the dreams,
fired the hopes and prepared for that flight
to broader fields, And they go back laden
with gifts, not TO the farms. but to the
countr ytowns to which they feel they owe
so much.

The Sap is Running.

The sugar camps of the northeast
are the busiest places known during
this season of the year, for the "sap's
runnin'." The spring harvest" time
has come and the yellowish fluid is
dripping musically from the spouts
into the large buckets. The sugar
house is a busy place night and day,
and while the furnace roars and
crackles, the great pans bubble and
steam and the sweet liquid slowly flows
from compartment to compartment,
turning into a rich, thick, brown
syrup. This is the marketable product
which comes, sealed in cans and jars,
to the western markets. But the best
part OF 1t all is the "sugaring on, "
when the neighborhood gathers at the
sugar house to spend the evening, en-
joying old yarns, maple wax" dough
nuts, mince pie, apples and cider.
1t is a regrettable fact that so many
of the sugar bushes OF the east, and
especially of New England, were cut
uOhn a lew gNaAo abN anu oOAu AOl
lumber. But with the crushing com
petition of the manufacturers of
Canada Sap" which was made out of
corncobs, there was more profit in the
lumber than in the sugar of the purest
quality. Hence, for time the maple
sugar industry went down. With the
enforcement of the pure food and
drugs act, however, a profitable activ-
ity in the sugar camps of New England
has begun again.
AT sugar-making time every true
Yankee who lives in the west and south
gets restless He seems to have "a
longing and a want" which nothing the
market affords can fully satisfy. But
there is one occasion when he will for,
get it, That is when the Maple Sugar
Yankees" get together, sit down to
sugar on snow and have a chance to

as a general class, tender-hearted and
kind. There is not dog but gets a
friendly word from passersby and even
brokendown horses that fall in the
harness receive their share Of material
help. Not a human being is denied
aid, protection or friendship when real
suffering is made known. In addition
to that, when calamity comes, no mat.
ter in what part of the world It may
be, the Americans open their store
houses and give freely of the contents
for the benefit of the needy.
Yet it is true that Americans often
keep under cover their work for the
suffering and their regard for friends.
No one hears of those who forfeit all
for friends and go through hardship
and privation to relieve the distressed.
It is not "heralded from the house
tops" but It is none the less real be-
cause of that fact. Americans want
to win in the race Of life, but they
are not cold -blooded about It as a
rule. Americans are not so efferves-
cent as are many across the water, but
the tender heart is there just the same.

New Tornedo Boat nestrovers.

The latest achievement in naval con-
struction is Great Britains new tor
pedo boat destroyer, Swift" With a
speed of thlrty-fivc knots an hour,
comparatively small displacement and
with terrific gun power it is the most
formidable naval craft of it's type. The
amount of time required in the con
struction and equipment of this vicious
sea fighter indicates the great care and
attention which the British govern
ment has expended upon it that it
might be the best possible of it's kind.
The goal was evidently reached be
cause no other destroyer known has
all of the desirable qualities. developed
to such degree of perfectness as has
this one.
The fact that both Great Britain and
Japan consider this type of naval
fighter exceptionally formidable de-
mands respect for its ability. For the
protection of ragged shore line, such
as both these two nations have, a
speedy and destructive small war yes
sci would be a necessity. The ability
to dodge out from behind a neck OF
land, dash across the open water
strike telling blow and then scoot fol-
cover would make the greatest source
of annoyance to a besieging enemy
Yet with the constant development
of naval war equipment the chances
are that even this triumph of warshiI
building wills be out Of date in few
years and will find its way to the
scra? heaps of the great foundries
The new and the more highly improved
are constantly demanded and it does
not take long for the greatest triumph
of naval invention to become anti
quated. 1t is this very feature of the
costly war vessel that lends inspiration
to the movements for disarmament and
| peace.

The Horseshoe Debate.

The horseshoe is a sign of good luck
until it gets into congress and then il
betokens a row. The item of expense
of shoeing the horses owned by the
federal government and used by the
secretary of state on official business
precipitated a varicolored debate on
the floor of the house recently, in
which the leaders of all factions waxed
oratorical and hurled defiance across
the hall with a spirit recalling ante,
bellum days. Champ Clark's ire was
so aroused that in his vigorous inquiry
about the appropriation of $4,000 an,
nually for the care of the government
stables, he demonstrated conclusively
that he is really from Missouri.
Just what it costs to take care OF
four horses and three vehicles and have
them at call day and night has not even
yet been ascertained although during
the progress of the debate the cost OF
shoeing horses in almost every state
in the union was announced. or course
this was not done officially and the
testimony could hardly be called ex
pert, for none of the congressman are
or have been farriers. But the demo
cratic leaders apparently thought they
had discovered some choice bits OF
campaign material" and we may hear
from them again on the same topic
In fact, the horseshoe debate" harks
back to the campaign against Martin
VanBuren when he was accused OF
dining off gilded china and of using
linen dishrags in the kitchen of the
White House until it was disclosed that
the china was bought during the days
of Washington and the linen dishrags
we're wornout table napkins. Who
knows but that "the horseshoe" may be
the choicest gem of canned oratory in
the coming democratic campaign.

Extravagance or Expansion !

James jeremiah Hill has been scold-
ing us again. taking for his theme our
national sin Of lavish expenditures. He
piles up a tremendous mountain of ex-
pansion in the expenditures on account
Of governmental activities, national,
state and municipal, and on top Of this
heaps another mountain, chargeable to
individual lavishness. Having arrayed
all this stupendous aggregate of tower
ing millions, Mr.. Hill topples it over to
crush the patient. toiling railroad,
whose taxes have been inordinately in
creased that the servants of the public
may have the means to squander in a
riot of costly buildings, improved high
ways, parks and other things that are
Of no avail to the railroad or corporate
capital intent on adding to the ma
terial wealth of the country.
Also, Mr.. Hill shows how this sin
against the real growth of the country
has been both augmented and aggra-
waited by the steady advance in wages
responsible for the additional unit cost
Of everything mankind consumes. In
his choicest vein of high-proof pessim-
ism he inveighs against these scanda-
lous proceedings on the part of the peo-
pie, and while he does not say so in so
many words, he leaves the inference
unavoidable, that the very greatest
crime of all has been the issue of bonds
to construct a canal whose only posi-
BILE service can be to encourage water
competition with the transcontinental
railroads. Directly he denounces the
issue of bonds for any purpose Of pub
lie improvement,
We are almost moved to inquire of
Mr. Hill just where he would have fin
ished any of his tremendous railroad
undertakings had he been restricted to
his unaided resources and been de-
prived of the privilege of raising the
necessary money by mortgaging the
future of the country through which
might be deemed impertinent, and will
not be pressed. Let the matter rest
on MIR. Hills own conclusions, which,
reduced to simplest terms, are: All
plans for public improvement should
be abandoned, the issue of bonds by
nation, states and communities should
cease, the expansion of the currency
should be checked and the movement
of wages upward should be reversed
that the corporations now controlling
the wealth of the country may move
in their own way and time to create
additional wealth, to be again used in
the same routine.
Mr.. Hills doctrine of conservation
is not likely to appeal to the active and
ambitious people of the undeveloped
west, who are as anxious to expand as
he is to contract
