Kenyon Starts Avalanche.

(Washington Correspondence OF the
New York Herald).
When Senator Kenyon, Of Iowa. went
to the White House and told President
Taft that he ought to spend summer
in the middle west. he started an
avalanche. Rising almost "as one
man" the states Of that region have
dences, islands, lakes, hills and valleys
until Charles D. Hilles, who handles
the presidents correspondence, is In
despair. Every state in the middle
west has at least one suitable" sum-
mer residence place for the president.
Now the desire to have him as such a
resident is spreading to the south.
1t was the original proposal that
the president should approve site
on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota, and
that congress should appropriate SUI
1cient money for a summer White
House. This it was urged would be
good politics. This morning there came
in the White House mail a letter from
man who owns at least one OF the
thousand islands In the st. Lawrence.
! who is willing to give 1t.
Scarcely had this been declined when
Representative Austin. Of Tennessee.
called with a delegation to invite the
president to share the beauties OF Bald
; Knob, in the heart of the Smoky
mountains There is mansion with
this site and 1t is near Knoxville.
Mackinaw island got a promise from
the president that If he goes to Michi-
gan in August he will inspect it and
consider its desirability. Senators
Smith and Townsend. of Michigan n,
brought that to his attention. Wis
consin has place for the president.
Iowa wants him IN spite Of It's pro
gress,ve" tendencies, and New Eng
land feels reasonably secure that once
having visited here he can not stay
away. No one has formally invited
the president to the New York shore
OF Lake Champlain. but he adnnires
that country and finds it not unlike
Murray bay. IN Canada. where he
would. If he could leave the United
States. spend every summer Of his life.

The long march nears its end. Each

rest. Its decay is physical. There is
neither sentlity, nor weakness in the
principles for which it fought and the
human rights It established. Its mon
uments are not to be builded. They
rise behind it marking epochs. Where
s-e- the grand army marched it left
footsteps immutaFoly fixed in the history

1HF BllslNESS FIELD.

Business Is quiet, that is general
business IL not rushing. 1t is spring
and the crop prospects are still to be
figured upon. Readjustment Of prices
Is in progress and large buying IS not
the order of the day. But money ap-
pears to be abundant tho held at stiff
rates and bond buying has been good.
The railroads arc ready to go to mar
ket for rails and equipment when prices
suit and the slowness OF the iron and
steel market is due to the waiting spirit
on the part Of railroads and builders
Labor uneasiness has affected the
building trades thru the uncertainty OF
contractors and because contracts for
contemplated buildings are being held
off by owners and investors On account
Of high figures and labor conditions.
In some quarters hesitancy IS account
ed for by tariff uncertainty. Stock
markets are better and more active
since the supreme courts injection of
man law. There is not a lack OF con-
fdence but a hesitation and a general
willingness to wait for crops, labor and
tariff adjustment and the like.
Figures on foreign trade are greatly
in favor of this country compared with
former reports. At present business
conditions abroad are flourishing, and
there is a very good demand for
American made goods. Total Am erican
exports for last month were s15S ,004, 27s
larger than for any previous April, and
there was an excess Of exports over
imports amounting to almost s3s.000.-
90. Imports last month were nearly
$4,000, 900 less than those of the cor
responding. month last year. The gov
eminent estimates that the total ex-
ports Tor the full fiscal year will be
about 3300.oo0,o0O ahead Of those Of the
previous year, and probably VIII ex-
coed s1,oo0. 900 900. When it is con-
dereA that the exports Of such arti-
cles rs wheat, flour, cattle and meats
are considerably smaller than those OF
earlier years, the figures quoted appear
all the more extraordinary. The high

New York and tho Great Lakes.

(Christian Science Monitor).
1t would have sounded absurd, even
as late as ten years ago. had anybody
said that the time was not far dis
tant when New York City would be
driven to the necessity of looking to
the Great Lakes for its water supply.
1t does not sound so absurd now, IN
view of the fact that the metropolis
has we'll nigh drained Westminster
county. that it is turning for immed-
late relief to Ulster county. and ex-
poets within a few years to be de-
pendent wholly upon the streams and
ponds of the Catskill region. Former
State Senator j. Irving Burns, Of
letter to Governor Dix on this very
subject.
He recalls the different steps taken
and proposed for providing the people
Of New York with an ample and con-
slant supply of water. UP to the time
when the Adirondack lakes were
brought within the province of Iesitt-
mate discussion. He also recalls his
personal attitude toward the proposed
line Of action, which he held to be
fundamentally. if not constitutionally.
wrong in permitting one location to
draw upon the water supply OF anoth-
er, even to the point OF exhaustion. as
in Westminster county. He reminds
the governor that. at the time he urg-
ed the laying OF pipes along the canals,
water might be carried for the supply
Of New York and other cities in the
state from Lake Erie to Lake Ontar-
10.
The lakes and rivers Of the st. Law
renee basin constitute the greatest
source Of fresh water supply to be
found on the face Of the earth. Their
combined water surface IS 1928
square miles. That New York. should
it act on Mr. Burns advice, would not
have TO look farther within any rea-
sonable length Of time for an addit-
ional water supply win become evident
when it is known that the total volume
of the Great Lakes is estimated at g.
900 cubic miles. or sufficient to sustain
NIAGARA Falls for 100 years.

LoR1MER CASE AGAIN.

lS1oux City Journal.
The determination to reopen the

is concerned this is all that is at stake
In the Loriner case. New testimony

having requested the United States
senate to reopen the case. the general
disposition toward reconsideration ID

A RELIC OF IS.
GHampton Glohe1

Hampton Globe1.
Built in the fall Of 1856, this old
house has stood for nearly fifty five
years, the one remaining house Of
earliest Hampton. 1t stands on the
Obadiah Smith property on North
Bridge street and was the home he
built for his second winter. in Iowa, the
first having been spent in a tent out
on the lonesome and snowdrifted
near Spring creek on the edge Of the
timber where better protection was
afforded from the severe winters that
afflicted early pioneers.
Standing amid clump Of thorny
plum trees. It il seldom noticed by q
rasserby. Piles Of dirt have accumu-
lated around the door, one Of the two
windows has rotted to pieces and the
siding is loose and parts of 1t have
blown of. The old floor Of the inter-
Tor has rotted out and fallen into the
cellar but the hard ,pla ster on the walls
still clings tight to the slfvery laths.
On the south end" the roof the
rusty remains OF stove pipe may
still be seen sticking thru the shingles
and the badly smoked. grease spatter-
ed low ceiling beneath shows where
the stove was locate A few rude
shelves on the wall contained the old
surveyors library. some Of the books
Of which, together with a few ancient
pictures. lie on top Of the cave-in
floor, mixed with much other rubbish
At the time this house was erected
but little Of Hampton existed. One
might have stood in the doorway look
ing out towards town, and HAD view
uninterrupted by other houses or by
trees or shrubbery. Not a tree grew
all was unbreken prairie-an expanse
Of waving grass from the doorway
clear to what is now the business sec
ton OF town. where half dozen one
story frame buildings were huddled
together in an area less than two
blocks square.
Truly this is an old building. It
has stood for Its five and fifty years
thus far as silent sentinel watching
the slow expansion Of Hampton and
possibly 1t shall stand for another five
and fifty. ever a reminder Of men who
are gone. and Of pioneer days that are
past.
