What the Papers Say
RUSSIA NOT CONQUERABLE.

(Paducah News-Democrat.)
1t is simply ridiculous TO talk Of
Germany conuuering Russia now or
later. 1t may be the imperial govern
ments hope but it is one she will
never realize. The present backward
movement of the Russians may look
like a defeat, and il is in a way, but
defeat and subjugation are different
things. The fact is, it would be mis-
leading to speak or think OF Russia In
terms that would apply to any other
country in Europe. Hence the reyerses
which the Russian arms have suffered
and the extent OF Russian territory
now in the hands of the enemy must
be measured with reference to the vast
population and the colossal empire of
which they form a part.
Yielding only TO the British empire
In superficial area. the Russian is the
greatest compact empire on the face
OF the globe. Ii is larger than all Of
North America, having a greater area
than the whole of the United States,
Alaska, Canada. Mexico, Central
America, Cuba, Porto Rico, Haiti and
the other Islands of the Caribbean. Its
! total area of $3.50. 600 square miles is
greater by 100000 square miles than
the whole of South America: 1t is
more than twice as big as Europe and
occupies three-fifths of that continent;
! it is half as big as Asia, two-fifths of
which il covers, and it's Asiatic pos
sessions are three times as large as
those OF Great Britain. In fact, Rus
STA lacks but ten degrees of stretch
! ing half way round the earth; its pos
! sesses One-siXth of the land area OF
the globe and has one-twelfth of its
! inha bitants. In 1S7S-79 the subjects
I OF the car numbered $4,000, coo. in

The public, particularly that pOr-
ton OF IL which labOrs with its hands,
will look forward with much interest
10 young Rockefeller's forthcoming
explanation Of his new industrial plan
which he characterizes as broader
and more democratic than uniOnism."
There is considerable division of
opinion as 10 John d. jr.'s purpose in
personally mingling with his employees
in Colorado and his apparent study of
conditions there. The bulk Of the
critical public is inclined TO put II
down as "grandstanding, or -four
flushing" to use expressive terms.
Still some OF the staunchest union
ties in the mining district profess to
be convinced OF his genuine sincerity.
1t may be that young Rockefeller is
himself actuated by a real desire to
better the conditions Of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Co. labOrers. But the
fact that John d. Rockefeller. ST.. has
the last word in the premises and that
he has never given any marked en-
enlargement to any move that would
affect the dividend earning capacity Of
his soulless corporations. makes us ex-
tremely doubtful of his sons ability TO
deliver the goods when it comes to
the final show down.

MISUSE OF LEGISLATION.
(Pittsburgh Gazette Times.)

AS a subject for popular jest the
straw hat question may be entirely
appropriate. Even the smashing Of
headgear may be made a subject Of
complaint to proper police authori-
ties and protection sought against
rowdyism. BuC il scarcely possesses
sufficient dignity 20 lift IL 20 the plane
OF municipal and state legislation. IL
is now soberly declared that the next
legislature will be asked 10 pass a law
extending the time when straw hats
may be worE IN the fall. This sug-
gestion followed a proclamation put
forth by the burgess OF an adjoining
borough extending until October the
time for wearing summer headgear
by men.
This indicates how thoroughly mad
we have run toward legislation in be-
half OF trivial and undignided sub
Jects. Why law on this subject Of
hat wearing? Would il not be quite
as reasonable 70 fix the style OF but
tons that shall be worn after certain
date? The origin of the hat smash
ing on Sept 10 was locally, confined
20 a group OF men who in the limits
of one business mart took that means
OF expressing their Overlooking hilar-
ity Afterward certain hoodlums.
presuming upon this purely personal
and private day privilege, began the
smashing OF hats on the day that is
supposed 10 mark the passing of the
straw hat season. out OF this has
grown the present agitation for more
laws upon the state and municipal
statute books. The logical deduction
is that straw hat smashers might in
dulge in their rowdyism at any time
except in the closed season for their
sport Hat smashing on the contrary
IS nefarious mischief on any day OF
the year. The making OF laws is or
ought TO be a serious duty involving
such subjects as affect the body polite
and framed with some reference 10
dignified enforcement. The welter Of
foolish legislation in all the states in
recent years may be accepted as re-
sponsIble for the constantly lowered
respect for law in general. Legisla-
ton invading the private and person
al affairs OF the people and possess
ing no general moral or economic
benefit has increased until IL is not
difficult 10 get a law passed on the
most ridiculous and senseleSs grounds.

PEAS SHOULD BE COOKED WHILE
FRESH
BY Caroline Coe
Peas should be cooked as fresh
from the vines as possible and they
should not be washed after Smelling.
If pods seem sandy wash them and
then shelf peas seem wilted or
have been picked a long time put
pods in cold water for an hour before
Smelling.
/ Put peas over to cook in boiling
water, and keep at boiling point till
tender. If cooked in an uncovered
sauce pan they will retain their color.
If the peas are full grown add a
teaspoon of sugar to each pint Of
shelled peas, a sprig of mint is often
added and gives a fine flavor.
Cook peas without salt until ten
der-salt to taste and cook min
utes longer.
Water in which peas have been
cooked should never be thrown
away. Add a little stock or a meat
extract, season to taste and a pala-
table soup is the result.

THAT SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE

Some interested people in New York City last week ana discussed plans for larger trade with South America, and
 ay decided that about all that could be done send agents there with samples and to solicit orders
 All that will count for but little The Atchson Santa re railroad started with idea that would push its 'rcks west little way from the Missouri River and if
 er lew the ured that by the railroad would not settle up the country enough to begin paying the road hte revenue That worked well that the company stopped building until its western terminus the shore oi the Pacific And the road is evidently receiving some revenue from the desert which horror to many very learned eastern statesmen the time the Union Pacific ana the old Central Pacific roads united and made clear the fact that the desert beneath which there more o interest in it to railroad and vastly more interest Ill 1t to the naon than though all agricu tural land as rich as the Mississippi Valley.
 South America will be great commercial interest the merchants and manufacturers of the United States just soon as they to work intelligent way obtain it, and not day But they will have to work did the A. T. S F. road to obtain it. It will require big investment first and then the patience to wait for dividends
 Our government has refused for fifty years to take any sensible steps to help that trade for American citizens It has England prosperng greatly from that trade three years it has Germany made rich from that trade in the past thirty years but has refused to nve gate the why foreigners have succeeded and utterly refused to take any sensible steps divide that trade with them
 The first essential is have depots the cities along the coas then ships touch at those ports stated but regular ntervas then in charge of the depo who under stand the languages spoken and the methods that prevail in those countries then know what and in what forms goods needed there and what the people have with they make purchases.
 To accomplish all this there must be capital enough to- build the sps establish the and in addition carry the business until the returns begin o come in.
 For instance suppose shiplOad of agricultural mple mens household furniture flour and salt meats in coffee district outside of Ro But the people have the money to buy what they need though they have plenty of coffee.
 It is clear that if the goods sent with the freight added they be lOaded provided the merchant will take coffee he pays the wholesale price the United States less the freight from Rio to New York Then the arrival must be sold before the goods to Rio months before paid for If the goods sent to Para rubber will have to be taken in exchanges rubber cocoa Brazilian woods something else that needed in the United States.
 In that tremendous trade be built up and that only In the meantime the agents down there will where bridge road is needed where great land be bought and seed and that kept for years would make for thousands of and begin make North America institutions and dominate that continent And there is other way to do it.
