teal methods Of financing needy farm
ers before the crops are produced and

after they are gathered.

viewed the work of cooperative assoc
Citations in Europe and America and
then urged cooperation in so grading
objects of Agricultural value that they
may be standardized. He showed the
difficulties to be overcome. but de-
clared that the great convenience in
selection of goods would bring many
thousands of dollars to the farmers.
H. C. Price, of Columbus, Ohio,
showed that while the agricultural pro-
duction of this country is the best the
form of the credit is the worst. He

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Senator Albert C. Cummins of Iowa
is regarded as republican presidential
timber.
1t is reported that President Taft
intends appointing Frank B. Kellogg,
trust buster, to a diplomatic post.
James w. Wadsworth, son. of the
former congressman from New York
and himself a prominent figure in En-
plre state politics, will be one of the
republican candidates for governor of
New York.
Some intimate friends of Colonel
Bryan are processing to know that the
ticket he favors for the democratic
party this year reads Kern and O'Gor-
man, the latter democratic United
States senator from New York. Mr..
Bryan has been studying the situation
in Indiana and believes, it is said, that
Mr.. Kern would make strong run,
while he is quite sure that O'Gorman
could carry New York state.
The republican and the democratic
national conventions are each to have
1914 delegates. A republican candi'
date is nominated by majority of the
delegates. therefore President Taft
needs only 53S votes for denomination
The democratic national convention
dominates a president by two-thirds
vote, therefore the winner in that con
vention must secure TIC votes.
United States Senator Robert Tay'
lor of Tennessee is still being quoted
for the speech he made at the recent
Jackson Day banquet held at Wash
ington, in which he paid his respects
to Colonel Roosevelt, describing the
ex-president as coming down the gang
plank of the steamship in June, 1910
on his return from Africa. Mr.. Taylor
says that as the colonel descended the
gangplank he had "a big hippotamus
under one arm, a giraffe under the
other, python in one pocket, croco
die peeping out of the other, and
hyenas perched en- either shoulder

/ There is possible explanation of
Governor Wilson's application for a
Carnegie pension, that while not cred
table is less discreditable to him than
the one generally accepted, Governor
Wilson had been by education and as
sociations an aristocrat and believer
In special privileges, and when he APP
piled for the pension his conversion
to democracy was not complete. This
view of the case permits us to suppose
that he did not then realize the incon-
sistency of his application with the
political creed that he was then learn
ing and which he afterward embraced
1t is even possible that his aristocratic
predictions cling to him yet and SO
distort his vision that he can not see
his inconsistency

The Italians are making slow prog
ress-or, rather, no progress at all in
their efforts to reach Fee, the interior
capital of the province of Tripoli. This
reminds us Of this extract from
Byron's description of Haidee in Don
Juan:
Her mother was a Moorish maid
from Fee,
Where all is Eden or a wilderness.
There the large olive rains it's ample
In marble fonts; there grain and
flower and fruit
Yield their abundance till the land
runs DER.
And there, too, many a poisonous tree
hath root,
And midnight listens to the lions
roar;
And long, long deserts scorch the
camel's foot,
Or heaving whelm the helpless
caravan;
And as the soil is, SO the heart of
man.

European News
and Niews

London, Jan. 27.-No one will deny
that the reception of the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught and their
daughter, the Princess Patricia, has
been one of the most interesting
events of the week in London. Not
even the important political events OF
Europe have held public attention so
well. and for few days discussion
of labor troubles in the United King
dom was secondary. Interest in this
semi-royal visit to the metropolis Of
America was heightened by the rumor
that King George and Queen Mary
will before very long visit New York,
and that the visit of the Duke and
Duchess of Connaught, the former of
whom is uncle of the king and gov
ernor general of Canada, is a fore
runner of the royal visit some months
hence.

Uneasiness has been aroused among
Jews, and particularly Zionists, in
Germany by a report from CONSTANT
NOBLE that the ministerial council was
drafting law for the prohibition of
the settlement of Jews in Syria and
Palestine. In 1882 the Turkish govern
ment passed a restrictive law against
the immigration of Jews who, driven
| forth by severe persecution in Russia,
went to Palestine and founded the
first Jewish colony there. Ten years
later a formal prohibition of immigra-
ton was decreed. These measures
were prompted by the fear that large
settlement of Russian Jews would give
the Russian government the desired
excuse for continually interfering with
Turkish affairs. AS matter OF fact,
although the immigration restrictions
have existed for thirty years, twenty
FIVE Jewish colonies were founded in
Palestine between 1882 and 1896, and
ten since 1896.

Governor Wilson's friends are con-

This ought not to have the weight of

Texas as whole, not any section in

OF zoos students entered for the
winter term at Geneva University, 1865
are Russians. These Russian students
are mostly very poor. They live on
very little, their chief food being
bread and coffee and occasionally a
bit of cheese. Four or five of them
are often crowded together in one
room. The great number of INDECENT
foreign students in their universities
is agitating the minds of the Swiss.
Russians, as may be judged from the
facts given above, are the most numer-
Gus. Bulgarians and Germans come
next, then a good many Turks, but a
very few English. Nearly half the
PATIENTS in the Geneva hospital are
foreigners, for not only are there many
foreign workmen in the city but the
poor foreign student, if taken i'll, has
no choice but to go to the hospital.

the wheels have pneumatic tires. The
