Life in the Canal Zone.
From ST. Nicholas.

Life in the canal zone is very much
like that at home. Though it is sum-
mer all the year round, the temper
allure seldom rises above Sc degrees.
and it is always cool n pleasant at
night. The houses are built. with wide
porches, screened to keep flying in
sects and the department of agriculture
supplies you with plants and flowers
for you garden There are band con-
certs, and firemen's tournaments and
women's clubs and church societies
and a Panama Canal Baseball league.
Hundreds OF sturdy. sunburned Am
erican children (for, although the Eng
lish cannot raise healthy white children
in India. we can in Panama) go gallon
ing about on Peruvian ponies, or study
in the canal zone public schools.

Whatever the estimate of Senator
PETERS capacity may have been-and
there were many even in his own party
who believed that he was a weak lead
er-it is doubtful if a man ever sat in
the Senate of the United States whose
motives We're less open to question;
whose honesty a more generally con-
ceded. The Kansas. senator was re-
garded as the soul of integrity. Even
his political enemies conceded PETERS
character to be above %reproach. He
was unskilled in politics and he is per-
haps the only man ever elected to the
Senate whose campaign for the place
was wholly unconscious. For years,
while the Farmers Alliance movement
was taking form. PETER was editor of
the Kansas Farmer, at Topeka. and
during the campaign which resulted
in the election of the legislature which
sent him to the Senate, PETER. with no
thought of the Senate in his mind. went
about the state. speaking. writing. or
ganizing. He visited IS Of h los
counties Of the state. and made more
than 100 speeches. AS he went from
place to place he wrote editorials for
his paper. sometimes on a park bench.

ROAD IMPROVEMENT IN THE VEST.
Hon. E. E. Adams of Fergus Falls,
who has just returned from a three
months sojourn on the Pacific slope,
writes interestingly of conditions out
there. Although there is lull in
business and conditions are bad
among the laboring classes the people
are optimistic and have unbounded
faith in their country. One thing that
attracted Mr.. Adams special atten-
ton was the great progress made in
road-improvement in California, One
gon and Washington. On that all-im-
portant subject he has this to say:
"Perhaps the one feature in which
the Pacific coast excels the middle
states more than any other is the
matter of roads. They have certainly
shown great foresight, energy and
wisdom in putting their highways in a
condition where they can be used.
Those counties which have been back
ward in the movement are the ones
that are suffering most from lack of
development. They take the position
that the time to have good roads is
now, and they are anticipating the
future by getting them so that the
present generation can get the good
out OF them. AS a result of their
good roads they are not only drawing
thousands of visitors from other por-
tions of the country, but the farmers
and transfers are able to handle their
freight and get their crops to market
with much greater economy"
