Negro Farmers in Canada

Canada has withdrawn her opposi- tion to the entry of negro farmers in the great northwest. Such farmers are free to enter Canada and to stay there as long as they are satisfied with conditions
 The chances are that they will not stay very long. The heats of the summer months will not prove dis concerting to negro farmers, but a Canadian winter is exactly what a negro does not covet. He wants a minimum of cold weather and a max imum of warm weather. Canada re- verses. the process, and this will in itself limit negro immigration in the northwest.
 Canada simply sees, in other words, that the negro problem is self adjust ing, and that no police regulations are needed. All opposition to the ad- mission of negro farmers has there fore been withdrawns, and any negro who thinks he can withstand Medi- cine Hat winter is free to go to Can ada.
 The truth is, many whites go to Canada to get the benefit of the rise in lands, expecting to sell out at the first good opportunity. The climate in the winter season is not only try ing but expensive. Fuel becomes every year higher priced, and the eff fort to keep from freezing to death absorbs the summers profits.

MOUSE PULLED A COCK

From the New York Herald
 One of the clowns with the Barnum & Bailey circus, now playing in Madison Square Garden, has for pet bantam rooster which will fight anything from an ant to a locomotive, but when it comes to battling with mouse he scratches and lies down for the full count of the referee.
 MT. Bantam was sleeping calmly in the cage with the baby giraffe in the menageries yesterday afternoon when mouse came nibbling around the cracked corn which the rooster had laid away for a rainy day. The gaze of the mouse and rooster met and the rooster took to the bars of the cage, but they were slippery and wound not hold him. As he was losing his grip he flew onto the back of the baby giraffe, which is now tiny thing only nine feet high, but not deeming himself far enough away from the mouse he took few hops and alighted on the baby giraffe's head, where he perched with the air of war strategist
 The mouse seemed to enjoy the per- formance and went on nibblng the corr, while the baby giraffe seemed possessed of the notion that she had received new Chantecler bonnet for Easter and wore it proudly

King Georges Coronation

There seems to be almost as much in- terest in this country in the coronation of King George as there is in England" said travelled man. ;'The ceremony takes place in June and will be as august and as full of color as all royal ceremonials are
 Tt used to be that any marked expres- sion of admira ton on the part of Amer jeans for English ways, or any attention given to the doings of royalty, caused Lncomplimentary remarks to be made. The general public regarded what seemed an excessive interest in English high life society as toadyism, but since English people no longer ridicule Americans as un- sophisticated and uncouth, the feeling on this side has changed. In recent years Britishers have manifested a very de- cide6 liking for their cousins of the new world. The relations between the governments of Great Britain and tte United States could not be more cordial than they are today, and these friendly relations will endure. The interest in the thousands of people who go from this to 1OnuOn III June VIII ma nOS- pitality the rule The fact is that the most friendly people in the world-the most civil toward strangers-are the peo- pie of London; at least, that is my experi- ence and the experience of other Amer jeans who have sojourned in London.
 Speaking of the coronation, the Eng fish are especially fond of pageantry. An idea prevails in some quarters that only the Latin races like gay color and spec tacular shows; that the sturdy Anglo Saxon is above such things. Never was there a greater mistake. Right down to the time of Henry VIII the ceremonial in Catholic churches in England was even more elaborate and impressive, if any thing, than the church ceremonials seen in France, Italy or Spain. The English people of that day liked it, and the Eng fish people of today like impressive cere- monies. The revival of historic page ants in England have aroused great en- thusiasm, and this enthusiasm Is indica- tive; and the religious part of the corona tion will surpass, 1t is said. anything of the kind ever seen in London.

FEATURES OF 1.-THE SCARLET LET-
 TER"

Erskine: Heading American Novellsts.
 The greatness of the story lies in its universal theme, it's elevated tone, and the extreme simplicity of it's treatment The theme is the effect of sin upon the soul that commits it--especially of secret sin, since Dimmesdale's experience makes the tale. All the characters are noble, as in a Greek story-strongly developed in themselves, and holding high position in the community, so that their experi- ences are large and important, as many critics have remarked, like the heroic ad- venture of Attic tragedy. This resem- blance of tone is increased by the sense of destiny and retribution in the TO- nance, dark and memorable as ever the will of the gods was imagined by ancient poets.
 It is a kind of impertnence to speak of the technical greatness of such mas terpiece as "The Scarlet Letter." ret the reader would be indeed thankless who failed to note how much of his pleasure is in the solemn, musical cadence with which the story moves. The lofty man. ner extended even to the dialogues, so that the varied characters speak alike in q somber eloquence permissionabie in romance

ArizOna's Constitution

The programme of the democrats of the House includes the passage of bill providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico. This raises an issue as to the right of state to have it's own chosen methods and beliefs. The particular charge against Arizona is that she has adopted the recall, applying 1t even to her judges. This may or may not be good policy. It may or may not render the judges more scrupulous and more observant of the rights of all suitors.
 But that is not the real question. Has a new state right to name the features of her original constitution? She may year after admission adopt the recall, and yet the old-fashioned theories say she must not do this in her original constitution. Other states have the recall. Birmingham has it. But Arizona shall not have it.
 This position, as theory, is simply untenable. It is autocratic. It is much more Russian than Ameri- can. Arizona is entitled to admission as state and to have as state the policies that suit her people, rather than the President or the standpat- ters in Congress-.
 The House will doubtless vote to admit the two remaining territories of the mainland, putting the respon- sibility of non-admission on the Sen ate and the President.
