A Factor for Peace.

While President Taft and the diplo-
matte branch of the government arc
working together earnestly toward Sc
curing universal peace, the fact remains
that the figures which arc given in the
recent consular reports constitute the
most effective argument against war.
Take. for instance. the imports into
Great Britain from the United States.
These amounted i'll the year 1910 to
nearly $hoo.oooooo. nearly twice as
much a. the aggregate Of the exports
10 the United States from the same
country. Here. in brief. is nearly $I,OoO.-
100000 in commerce. including prac
tically every article in a manufactured
and manufactured state. With this
enormous amount of business transacted
it seems reasonable to suppose that
neither the United States nor Great
Britain will jcopardizc the further de-
vcIopmcnt OF trade by pIunging into
scnscless war.
And what IS true of these two ma
tions Is also applicable to other coun-
tries in less degree. When it is known
that even in distant New Zealand rail
roads are being built with American
machinery. that in the Alps a tunnel is
being cxcavatcd with American invcn-
tions. and that in every country in the
world the products OF this nation are
in demand, it is not difficult to predict
that the business sense Of the nation
will prevail against international strife,
After all. the be-; guarantee of peace
is the fact that all the countries of the
world arc engaged in trade with each
other

THE POLITICAL PROCESSION
Would Come Back to Congress.

would Come Back to Congress.
Word comes from Wisconsin that Gus
tav Kuestermann. who served two terms
from the Outagamie district and was de-
feated last Year by Thomas Konop, is
preparing to come back year hence.
1t was eXasperating to Mr.. Kuestermann
that after a hard campaign he should
lose by exactly five votes, with no hope
of contest before a Democratic House.
1t has stirred his soul all the more that
his adversary, kOnop. came to Washing
ton and took pains to put in his biography
that the district was usually considered
Republican by 300 majority. This SEEM
ed too much like rubbing it in, and
KUestermann promises to reach out for
the Konop scalp in a year, when Wis
Consin Republicans promise to be much
more awake.
The one other Democrat in the House
from Wisconsin is Michael Burke, of
Beaver Dam, and he had something over
1000 plurality over a new Republican can
didate. Burke has been busy in Wis
consin Democratic affairs for many years,
serving in the legislature and was elect
ed solicitor of Beaver Dam for fifteen
consecutive terms. and had two terms as
mayor before given the Congressional
honor. He has been a delegate to the
national convention, and, while his dis
trict is not usually Democratic. he re-
mains hopeful of doing business next
Year.

UncultiYated Lands.

Secretary Wilson. of the Department
OF Agriculture, is right when he says
that We ought not to import 5000
bushels of potatoes from Scotland
MIR. Wilson says that withirls half an
hours ride of New York City there is
enough vacant land to raise many times
as many potatoes as we're included in
this particular cargo. He says. too.
that there arc thousands of acres OF
cheap lands in nearby MARYLAND and
Virginia that would supply the WASH
ington markets with all the potatoes.
cabbage and other truck crops the city
could consume These lands can be
purchased Cheaply and put in condition
for cultivation for a nominal outlay.
Instead OF utilizing this land, the city
imports its vegetables from a distance
at an increased cost
The fact is that in this country we
have not yet learned the science of in
tenSivc farming. We have never had oc-
casion to make every square foot of
ground productive. as is the case in the
older and more populous countries. Not
only acres. but square miles, are left in
uncultivated condition. If We would,
as people. develop the soil which lies
untouched in our vast domain we would
raise enough produce to feed the world

The War Department has made its rec
OmmendatiOn TO the Senate District Com
mittee upon the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Gallinger, providing for the transfer
of the Washington Aqueduct and the
rest of the water system to the District
Commissioners.
This recommendation. however, has a
string to it. and the string is so i'm
portant that II is hardly probable that
Congress will favor the bill or that the
people will wish the change on the de-
partment's terms.
For instance. the department engineers
recommend that the District pay to the
department $1,sOO,OOO as the Districts
proper share of the cost OF the plant
under the half-and-haIf system, If the
aqueduct is taGen from the War Depart
ment.
Also the engineers recommend that the
army have. after all, a general supervi-
sion over the water system. The Dis
trict Commissioners might run the sys-
tenn in so far as the details are con-
cerned, but the engineers want to have
the ultimate control of the system.

Politics in Wyoming.

1t is a long, hard journey from Wash
ington to Wyoming, but that does not
worry Senator Francis Warren. who
deemed il wisdom TO take a look at
things in his State during the short holi-
day recess. No one at this end of the line.
or at the other end either. thinks the
Senator will have any trouble after his
twenty years OF service. He has been
resident of Wyoming since 1865, when
it was a part of Dakota, and was the
first governor of the new State He had
not served all OF his term as governor
when chosen to the Senate, but was will
ing to exchange jobs.
During his stay in the State he will not
only look after his own affairs, but learn
a few things OF value to the Taft admin
stration and the Republican party. Wyo-
ming may have less than 100000 popula-
ton, out she has a wonderful proper
tion of politicians who will DO their share
for the cause when the convention meets
at Chicago in June. With all Senator
Warrens honors in politics. he is proud
est of the fact that he was voted the
Congressional medal of honor for gallan-
try during the civil war. That came to
him when he had little hope of ever be-
ing governor or Senator. and he has kept
very much in touch with all legislation
pertaining to the army ever since his
Senatorial duties began

ROOSEVELT NOT TO

Continued from Page One.

said that he urged the Senator from
Wisconsin to become a candidate, and
that later he showed his interest in
the movement by sending for James r.
Garfield, his former Secretary of the
Interior, and after bringing him to Oys-
ter Bay induced Mr. Garfield to recon-
slider his decision not to attend the pro-
gressiVe conference called by La Fol-
lettes friends in Chicago several weeks
ago. All of these signs of sympathy and
interest were accepted by the La Toilette
men as iESuring the support of Col
Roosevelt for the La Toilette movement
Having entered upon his canvass, Sem
ator La Toilette will not turn back, his
friends say. They declare that Roosevelt
sentiment Is oYerestimated. They refuse
to be stampeded by the Roosevelt talk
and will insist that the politicians who
profess to be progressive shall stand up
and be counted either for or against La
Toilette. This is likely to lead to some
dissenSiOn among the Republicans who
have heretofore been classed as pro
gressive" in Congress.
Many VIII switch.
Undoubtedly a number of Senators and
Representatives who would have sup
ported La Toilette but for the Roosevelt
movement will be found fighting for
Roosevelt if the colCners boom gets un-
der way. These men say that they are
for RoOSevelt'S nomination because they
believe he can defeat Taft for the nomi-
nation, and they feel reasonably certain
that Senator La Toilette cannot do so.
La FOlettes friends refuse to COncede
this contention.
In the ranks OF La Toilette men are
some who advise A working agreement
between the Roosevelt men and La Fol
lette men. But this suggestion is not re-
Ceived with favor by the more ardent
supporters of the Senator from WiscOn-
sin. Already there has been Il clash be-
tween the two brands of ''prOgressives"
in a number of localities. and it is likely
that tho breach will be emphasized
the campaign progresses, unless Col.
Roosevelt calls off his boomers.

find some new bali or club and make

how the authorities propose to remedy
the difficulty Is not clear, standard
ball could be made obligatory In ma

ual clubs might adopt II for local con-
tests: but as soon as a better flyer was
