The simplest method of fastening the
fiower-pots is by using screw-eyes,
screwing a screw-eye through the hole
in the bottom of each pot into the post
or other support. The screw-eye can
be turned by hand, and the eye is
large enough to hold the pot in place,
which is the advantage Of using a
screw-eye instead of screw. If you
use a screw, it will be necessary to
place an iron washer under the screw
head to keep the head from pulling

portion of the island, has a popula-
ton of about $4,000 and an area of
18,0i5 square miles; it's 1912 imports
were valued at SS,217, 1899 and its ex-
ports at s12,3s5,24S.
The island, neglected and burdened
by it's black rulers, is yet rich in
opportunities, producing sugar cane,
tobacco, cotton, and rice, cocoa and
bananas with comparatively little
cultivation. Mahogany, satin-wood,
cedar, and other high-class and ex-
pensive timber abound. There are
deposits, almost wholly neglected, of
gold, iron, nickel, chrome, silver,
mercury, tin, cobalt, and other met
ais; asbestos. phosphate rock, guano.
petroleum and amber also are found.
There can be no question that un-
der American direction the island
would reach a degree of prosperity
impossible under present conditions.
Capital, for obvious reasons. has
been reluctant to expose itself to the
dangers that always menaced and to
the destruction that never was quite
beyond sight.

OUR WORK IN HAITI.

For almost a century Haiti has
been a thorn in the side Of American
diplomacy. The national debts con-
tracted by one administration have
been repudiated or neglected by its
successor and collected through the
insistence of the United States or
of European warships. Massacre, ra-
pine, and destruction have been the
almost invariable incidents Of the
struggles for power and place.
Apparently, the climax Of the
islands folly, manifested in a per-
feet weller of revolutions and coun-
in both republics, has
about conceded with the limit of the
worlds endurance. Washington is
going to try warships and marines,
and when our forces are once well
in it is difficult to perceive how we
are going to get them out soon.
Haiti has an area of 10,20I square
miles, a population of approximately
1,5oO,0OO; it's imports in 1912
amounted in value to S9,676,555 and
it's exports to s17.2S5, 4S5. Santo Do

intimation of the feelings of humiIia-
ton and disgust which are DIT present
being entertained by hundreds of real
Democrats. men and women in the de
partments and who have been keeping
close tab on the policies Of watch

not only the situation in Mexico. but
especially in departmental Washington.
By real Democrats. reference Is had
to those who have for years proclaimed
their principles and have either gone
home to vote or contributed to the
cause on every occasion.
It is q fine spectacle for them after
eighteen months Of "watchful waiting, :"
to see the departments run by the same
old chief clerks, chiefs Of divisions and
advisors.
1t is a condition unprecedented In
Washington and has become so acute,
that expressions are no longer whis-
pered but curses deep and loud are to
be heard on every side and they are
shared to a very great extent by the
rank and file OF real Republicans who
know the conditions to exist through
out the departments and Just as stated.
Indications are fast accommodating that
this "midsummer's dream may be
awakened by a killing frost" and the
letters that will soon begin to 60 back

PARIS UNWRITTEN LAW.

There was riot, or near riot, in
the court room in Paris when Nine.
Caillaux was acquitted by a jury
that had been out less than an hour,
after one Of the most dramatic trials
that this generation of Frenchmen
have known. The French seem IN
able to have an elite murder trial
without trimmings of treason, state
stratagen,, and big politics. Charges
of disloyalty to the republic were
banded about the court room and
now there is premise that-unless
the French public gets too excited
over the war scare and forgets
nin1r affairs-there may be a sue
cession of drels. That's one advant-
age about the French duel; it adds
just the neccssary touch of comedy
to enliven and illuminate a tragic
situation.
On the whole, Americans who have
been wont to bemoan the invocation
of the "unwritten law" as a justifi-
cation of murder, will feel as they
rise from contemplation of this Paris
exhibit, that we are not so bad. Mis-

WAR DIVIDENDS.

The cheerful idiocy which banked
upon American fortune to come out
of European war received a first
dividend before the Austrian guns
began to roar. Its taste was gall;
its effect poison.
The Old World threw securities
into our stock market, a Thousand,
ten thousand shares at a time. We
did not SELL supplies for the war;
we had to BUY our securities cast
into our faces by the foreigners, who
must have money and knew nowhere
else to get it.
To the outpouring gold of recent
score we added enough to make more
than one hundred and three millions
shipped abroad for possible ammuni-
ton to be shot away in smoke.
Basic capital, all of it, needed to
supply with economic food our rail-
roads. our mills and factories, and
our marts.
Bountiful crops had promised to
help reduce the American cost of
living. And yesterday, in the face
of general European war, abandoned
production and destruction of nat
ural wealth, wheat leaped cents a
bushel-for our consumers to pay.
The dividends of war are as pre-
cious as the wages of sin!

THE EUROPEAN ARMIES.

Down to the collapse of the Ma
poleonic empire, the eagles u
France were comfortably acclimated
to all parts of Europe. Since that
time German armies have inspected
Paris three times. The scale shift
ed after Napoleon, and for just
about century Germany has held
the military upper hand. On paper,
Germany has the greater and in
tradition the more effective army
today. But there are good many
military observers who believe Ger
many's establishment. has retro
graded while Frances has advanced
in recent decades.
German strategy, tactics, and ma
terial constituted the basis of the
Turkish military establishment dur
ing the Balkan war; French meth
DDS. teachings, and munitions were
affected by the allies; and the over
whelming wreck of the Turkish
power was a very real blow to the
superstition about German infallibil-
ity and impregnability in things
military. That France has the best,
very much the best, field artillery
in the world, vastly superior to
Germany's, is universally granted.
And field artillery is a tremendous
factor in modern battles. Artillery
genius made Napoleon almost con-
queror of the world. The country
that develops such an overraster-
ing genius in that branch will win
the next great war. Artillery is
more important today than in the
Napoleonic era; cavalry, far less.
Russia's army has not in genera
tons held so low place in the
worlds estimate as now, because Of
the defeats Russia suffered in Man
churia. But that estimate does Rus
STA injustice. It was the disorgan-
izabon, grating, and recklessness
Of the oligarchy that broke down
the efficiency of the army. Com
pelled to fight on the opposite side
of the world from its base, it never
had a chance.
Since the Mauchurian war the Rus
sian army has been completely re-
organized; and let it not be over
looked that the lately tested French
system has been the model. Rus
sia can put into the field more
soldiers than any other nation. It
is not at all safe to presume that
Germany can crush Russia with one
hand and France with the other.

its picture of French methods OF ad-

and clear one cheering thought.

Nine. Caillaux following the verdict
of acquittal, the cries of murder

least these temperamental French
entertain q certain aversion for the
