Dewitt County Peanut crop.

Cuero, Tex.---About eight hundred
acres have been painted in peanuts in
DE Witt County 50 far this season. In.
Teshgation has proven the fact that
this edible ground nut can be cultivat-
ed not only as food product for
the human, but grown as profitably as
corn and other grain for stock food for
cattle and hogs. This has been DEM
onstrated by those who have tested
same.

DIFFERENT FROM THE REST.

There is one fact about the Lake Re

all who attended the show, and which
stood out far above the exhibits O.

in the matter of showing the exhibits
The products were all in plain sigh
and could be handled by the sghtseer
Unlike the exhibits from other states
neatly shown in glass jars, where they
could not be removed, the Lake Region
samples could be handled by every
one. They were not priced so highly
that there was fear that some Nigh
carry them away and it would not be
nossible to secure another exhibit OF
that certain product like it. Then
too, many Of the exhibits were espec-
ally prepared for show purposes, and
az many who visited the show said,
there were some exhibits that were

the Lake Region. Everything shown
could be duplicated and only served

hihit and it pleased the farmers and

of the display at the great land show.

Retribution appears certain for Rus

to whom she has denied passports. She
is now threatened with the abrogation
of the treaty Of 1882, under which she
claims the right to make this discrimi-
nation. The reputation Of this treaty
would end our relations with Russia,
greatly to the embarrassment Of that
country g trade relations, credit and in
ternational respect. President Taft has
notified congress that he and Secretary
Knox are negotiating with Russia with
a view to inducing her to change her
attitude. which it has been said,
{ makes American citizenship q ,sham.''
Russia regards the jew within her
gates as fair game and her history to
the present time is red with her persecu-
ton of, and injustice to, the members
Of the Hebrew religion. A wave of in
dignation is sweeping the United States
as result of her practice of excluding
American Jews. Mass meetings have
been held in protest against it in nearly
every city in the country, including one
in st. Lauis participated in by both
Jews and ,Gentiles. The following press
comments show the temper Of the ma
ton:
New York Times: We protest only
against the course followed by Russia
under her own particular Interpretation
of the treaty, which it is our contention
that it cannot bear, and which she has
not the shadow of right to make. OF
course, we have never made treaty
with any country that would permit the
other party to discriminate against any
class of American citizens.

ward a portion Of the czar's subjects,

are not factors that concern the United
States in protecting the rights Of its
citizens. Nationality is the one consid-
Grafton. In the eyes of this govern
ment there cannot be two classes OF
Americans. Russia should be made to
see that point clearly. It cannot claim
the privilege of reading into the treaty
its own obsolete race hatreds. Mr.. Taft
has right to expect that public opin.
ion will be patient and reasonable. But
he must exercise vigorous pressure upon
Russia. The passport question must be
