simply foolishness born Of ignorance
Everybody could see last evening that
she has been taking some pains to
cultivate her voice which is improved
even over its previous excellence
but that is immaterial, irrelevant and
incompetent criticism, as the lawyers
say, when such higher and greater
things are in such a performance as

They Like Each Other.
1t was Mrs. fuckers annual contrl
button to the Monday Music club o.
which she is an active member. As
always on these annual occasions
the auditorium Of the Y w. C. A. was
filled. AS she walked out upon the
platform, Mrs. Tucker said with little
witches in her face and the sugges
ton Of tremulo in her voice:
When I see how all you people
come out in cold, or hot, Or stormy
or slippery weather to hear me,
want to cry. The one thing one can
not buy is love. I would rather have
the love Of you Keokuk people thar
all the money in the world"
It was perfectly evident that Keo
kuk feels just that way toward Mrs
Tucker. There is always warmth
about the responses of her Keokui
audiences that is witnessed on nc
other occasions in this old town.
Amid the train loads OF fun poked
at the intellectual snobbery of Boston
one does not remember anything
quit, so cutting as the keen satire ir

threw in parenthetically about the
pseudo-culture. and real ignorance Of
that self-satisfied city.

ROLE OF PHILOSOPHERS
Lecture Was on the Philosophy Of
History Of Folk Lore and Espee-
tally That Of the Evolution
Of Negro Music.
IBy G. Walter Barr.

Mrs. George Collingwood Tucker as
philosopher calculating the philoso-
ply of the history of the most pecul-
lar phase of American music was the
new role in which Keokuk heard that
most charming and entertaining wom-
an last evening. But 1t was still the
same Mrs. Tucker, as beautiful as a
water color by master gowned in a
creation Of pink and tints, with the
charm that makes big auditorium Of
strangers her warm friends in two
minutes, and the deepest, broadest,
most exacting knowledge OF negro
music in the whole world.
The philosophy OF the little lecture
was the origin, evolution and charac-
teristics Of folk songs and their init
mate relations to their creative PEG
pies.
Having previously given Keokuk
thorough studies of the negro songs
in their different phases, peculiartties
and locales, Mrs. Tucker last evening
constructed program showing the
evolution of this class Of music from
the steel driving song composed be-
fore there was any United States to
the quasi-negro music which expresses
the negro spirit but is all written by
white men.

JAPANESE CANE".

The name Japanese Cane" has very unfortunately been applied to two diff ferent crops now well established in the United States. The name was first used in connection with variety of true sugar cane introduced from Japan by the Department of Agricul- ture in 1878. This is a slender stemm- ed sugar cane that was not found profitable to grow for sugar, but it is now extensively cultivated in Florida and along the Gulf Coast mainly for fo' age but to some extent for syrup. Recently several other similar varie- ties have been secured from aJpan. Japanese sugar cane is highly valua- ble for forage where it is adapted both because it produces very large yields and because plantations re- main profitable for 6 to 12 years with out replanting. It rarely produces fiowels and seeds in this country ex cept in northern Florida.
 The second plant to be called "Ja panese Cane" or "Japanese Seedel Ribbon Cane" is a sorghum, more pro- perlV known as "Honey Sorghum. !" This va iety is of unknown origin but it did not come from Japan It is of the sweetest varieties of sorghums yet found, and south of the Ohio River is one of the best of all sorghums for syc1p and forage. This sorghum pro- duces large, loose heads of seeds, and the seed is as cheaply grown as that of any other sweet sorghum. It is this plant that has recently been much advertised as Japanese Cane", but on account of the confusion that this name makes with the Japanese sugar cane, seedmen are urged to call it by it's older name, "Honey Sorghum" It is a very desirable late variety, sure to be more widely grown when it is better known.

AMERICAN WAR SYMPATHY

While the tone of responsible Ger man newspapers has been, in general, far more fair to America since the sendino of the Presidents last note, the Hamburg Fremdenblatt hasn't yet caught the spirit of tolerence. Here is a boquet from recent issue:
 "There is really no occasion for the German people to worry themselves about what Americans may say, write or think, so long as the German arms continue victorious. Americans never feel the slightest sympathy for those who are silly enough to allow them selves to be beaten.
 "Thejr alleged pro-British sympa- thy founded on dollars alone. The moment that Germany definitely sue ceeds in turning the attack or af- fecting their pockets through the per manent stoppage of American war supplies to the enemy, the United States will become a fanatical sup porter of the German arms. Let Us, therefore, await a further shower of notes from across the Atlantic with mdisturbed equanimity."
 The editor of the Fremdenblatt. of course doesn't remember as far back as the Boer war, when We gave our moral support to the Boers against England because they were being beat en. He doesn't remember our fight ing the battle of the Cubans against Spain, and then, to the utter bewilder- ment of Germany, giving Cuba her in- dependence. He doesn't remember how, at first shot of the Russo-Japan- csc war, our sympathies turned to Ja- pan because she seemed a David fight ing a Goliath. He doesn't even remember that American sentiment, m the present war, turned against Austria through sympathy with little Senia, and against Germany through sympathy with conquered Belgium.
 Whatever disinterested American sympathy Germany herself has had in this war has been based almost solely on the fight that she is fighting against tremendous odds. 4 conquer ing Germany can never win support Tn America. A losing Germany would draw great wave of sympathy. Am erlcan sentiment is always reserved for the under dog. The editor of the fremdenblatt is diametrically wrong. beaten Germany, threatened with destruction, would find the American people facing the conquerors and de- handing fair play.

 John Dorr knew that there was d tremendous secret in Gallons life rep resented by the golden key which he had torn from his neck and handed to Ruth when he was dying. That key mad figures on it. He understood that those scratches on that golden surface represented something tremendously important. and that the old man had committed Ruth to his charge and had spoken of WilkerSon as his former partner and said, "WilkersOn knows"
 What was it that Wilkerson knew? It was better. thought John, to accept his amiable advances and thereby pos sibly gain his confidence and find out for Ruth's sake that secret which Thomas Gallon had taken to his grave.
 So on the second day after the resto- ration of the old scale of wages and his own reappointment as engineer in charge John went down to the office and said bluntly: Look here, Wilker- son, maybe both of us have made a mistake.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The people in our country each need about five and a half bushels of wheat to tide them over year. Our prom ised crop, approaching a billion bush els, means ten bushels for every in- habitant. This surplus is so enor- nous that, taken in the aggregate, it Is difficult 10 comprehend No other ountry in the world ever produced s:ich a vast quantity of white bread 'aaterial in a single year. None ever had such a huge amount to sell to foreign peoples
 During the current crop year the United States has exported about a million bushels of wheat every day, thus setting a record beyond all preco- dent. Moreover, the price received for it due to the war, is far greater than the average price during the past decade. Viewed in a purely selfish light, the American farmer is doubly blessed with an unparalleled crop at the very time when wheat is dearest. Our exports of wheat have powerful ly aided in building up in our favor the greatest trade balance ever accumu- lated in a twelve-month by any nation.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 9.-In a
speech before the anti-salOOn cOnven-

Hobson urged that a request be made
to President Wilson to abstain entire
ly from all alcoholic drinks to set a
good example to the country, and al
so to ask the president to establish
total abstinence in the civil service "a
all its branches. Care was taken by
the former member of the lower house

Wilson is not one who INDUCES to any
extent but he expressed the belief that
the publication throughout the
country of the fact that he had entire
ly set his face against all liquors
would have a most salutary effect.

.HUERTA NOT TO
Be SENT BACK
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
WILL OPPOSE HIS EXTRADI-
TION TO MEXICO.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The gov
ernment Of the United States has de
cided to oppose the exJradition Of
Huerta which has been requested by
the Mexican authorities or some Of
them. The opposition to the request
is due to the fear that the former
president would not receive fair
trial and would most likely be sum
marily executed for the murder Of
Madero for which Huerta denies
completely the responsibility. The
power of the governor of the state Of
Texas in such matters now beng in
vestigated but it is thought almost
certain that on a question of this kind
the federal government has full
power.
