PROSPERITY IN AFRICA.

The proud Baluba tribe. whose re
putation for courage and ferceness
rendered them formerly the terror of
their neighbors, are noted for their be-
lief in sorcerers. Invincible as they
are, they tremble before these charla-
tans, and invoke other sorcerers,
more powerful still, for protection
against the first
To this end they unite with some of
the numerous secret societies which
exist among the Blacks, and bind
themselves to keep the secrets with
the most terrible oaths. Treason is
punished with death. and the dread of
vengeance is a serious obstacle to the
conversion OF these poor people.

cHILDREN's FAIRGROUNDS.

what consideration is given to the playground movement and the mum Der of municipal converts it has made Is evidenced by the report of the Play ground and Recreation Association of America, which shows that public fairgrounds for children now exist in 53s cities of this county, while more than half of the cities, or 2s5. see the value of regular supervision in these playground and recreation eenters. It IS estimated that, including trustees. directors, various officials and unpaid supervisors. the army of those actively interested in organized recreation to- tals nearly s7.000.

MApERo.s AssAssInA1loN.

The assassination of eX-PreSident Madero and ex-Nice President Suarez of Mexico puts another blot upon the Mexican form of government and adds another element of trouble to the all ready well disturbed situation in the republic. Provisional President Huerta has deplored the affair to the Amer ican ambassador but he will have to give better evidence of non -compIicity in the crime before the murder can be transferred to other shoulders. It comes at time when it is but natural that he should be suspected inasmuch as 1t follows the prescribed method of doing away with those whom it is de- sired forever silenced. Upon Huerta must rest the responsibility for the deaths Madero was a prisoner await ing trial, and Q fair trial had been promised He should have been prop erly protected that such a possibil- ity, in a country in which it might happen, would be avoided Madero, it must be remembered, was the deHosed president He was the choice the people and entitled to the office and not a revolter against the government.
 Madero had shown clemency when such situations presented themselves and both ex-President Diaz and FeIiz Diaz are living because of his ac- tons. even though the latter was in revolt against his government Fur ther complications are likely to result from Madero's. death and peace has been pushed farther into the future MeHcans may understand such action but it fails of understanding in civ iliZed nations

AccomPLfsHEs LIT
CONGRESS

Little has been accomplished in the way of progress at the present session of the legislature. Rather has it been session wherein the democrats. who because of the impending change in administration, have sought to block the workings of congress and delayed action on many matters of importance. They have shown steady opposition to the naval appropriation bin though their national platform declares for ''an adequate and well proportioned navy sufficient to defend American poll icies." There are other measures which this congress should have taken up and disposed of before this. but the spirit of opposition and delay has prevailed even as it has against the confirma- ton of the appointments made by the president
 In this direction there are nearly two thousand appointments which the senate has held up in order that the offices may be filled by democrats. though the president has acted entirely within his right and in pursuance of his duty as chief executive in sending the nominatio to the senate. This power and duty given the president is for his full term and has been re-. spected in previous cases where there were changes in party control of the. administration It is operating against, the best interests of the government and serving as precedent for action when another change takes place. It is maintaining that MT. Taft can have the appointive power for but three and half years while it is assuring MT. Wilson four if not four and half years of the use of that right. It is such political tieups as this which has made the session one of small ac-

THE CANAL COMMERCE.

What the Panama canal offers. when opened. in the way of opportunity for the development of business between the eastern and western coasts of this country and between this country and those of South America cannot be too lightly estimated. Those who are in terested in transportation by water. either as owner or shipper, cannot fail to understand that 9, great amount of benefit is to be obtained bv the ad- VantaSes of the new waterway. In order to get it preparations must be made and it is noticeable fact that the big German transatlantic line is anxious to help furnish the capfta1 and the direction for a. dozen in the large fleet of ships which will be re- quired to take care of it. This is an indication of what they think of the future of the coastwise trade in this country.
 It is evident that the German cap- 1tahsts are alive to the opportunity which is afforded. Their plan to make them American ships, available for the merchant marine, built in Amer lean yards and manned by American omcers and crews and to have the American flag and registry shows what is thought abroad of the future for

Business and deye1onrnent de- pend upon the ability to take care of 1t and aid in it's promotion and such cannot be done without ships. The eagerness of the German promoters to get chance to do business under our laws should be a sufficient stimuIant Tyr any tagging interest which steam ship interests have in this country.

WORTH KNOWING.

One who has the reputation of knowing what dishes to combine at a meal gives these suggestions:
 Stewed chicken without mashed potatoes and pork without apple sauce lose half their zest
 Fried onions fairly cry aloud for a juicy beefsteal1, and roast beef with out potatoes Drowned under the meat never taste the same
 Potatoes are an accommodating sort of veget@ble. They are good with all meats.
 With roast meats sweet potatoes are appropriate, are squash, tonna- toes. asparagus and Stewed onions
 Baked nlacaroni is a fitting accom- paniment to a roast, as are brussel sprouts and scalloped or creamed eauli1oTer-
 Celery should never be omitted when serving poultry.
 Turnfps, carrots, parsnips and cab bage are generally eaten with boiled meats, while peas. beets beans, corn and tomatoes are good with either boiled or roasted meats.

NEED OF THE STATE. FARM.

When the different cities and towns of the state dig up their characters who spend the greater part of thelr lives in jail because of intoxication they have an array of examples which should carry weight with the legisia- tive committee as to the need of the farm for inebriates. which is being sought at this session. New Haven has one man who has spent prac- ticaIy all of the last forty-five years of his life in jail because of his lil1- ing for liquor.
 This prompts the New Britain Her ald to observe that This is one of the notable cases of the .rounder." the man who spends his life going from the saloon to the jail and back again. of no use to society and of no ben eft to himself, and yet the state does nothing to remedy such a condition There are similar cases in Connecticut and though reference is made to them from time to time no one seems to think of using them as an illustration to promote a reform that is much needed It may be difficult to know just what to do with such cases. but it does not require any sagacity to see that the present system is of no value. The victim himself is a bur den to the state, he renders no use- ful service and no effort is made to change his habits or manner of lv- ing Perhaps the proposed farm for inebriates may be able to meet the needs of such cases, but even that is a long time coming"
 Many of these cases end in the in sane hospitals. but they should re-. ceive the treatment before they get to that stage. The jail fails to give what the farm is intended for.
