South Africa.

! Premier Botha's statement disclos-
Sng that serious unrest exists in South
SAfrica is the first definite revelation
of a condition that has for some time
gbeen vaguely intimated. 1t is accom-
spanied by the announcement that meas
lures are being taken to cope with the
situation and it is indicated that these
measures have prevented a crisis,
though the premier does not state that
The disturbance is at an end
Germany's influence in fomenting
fdiscontent and promoting revolution
ary projects in South Africa may be
taken for granted. 1t is, of course, to
Germany's interest thus to cause dis
traction for Great Britain and to pre-
vent further accessions to the allied
; fighting forces. At the beginning Of
the war an effort was made to pro-
!, mote widespread revolt, and Botha
:and SHUTS were for time hard pressed

gambled on the loyalty of these men.

! men and some of their old associates
: in arms.
Evidently from Botha's statement
the German agents have been work
ing among both Europeans and na-
| tives. It matters little to Germany at
this stage whether she sets the woods
aire in. South Africa, to become tre-
mendous confagration. If she cannot
win in Europe she loses her African
colonies for all time. If she must lose
them she is doubtless willing to see
them and the colonies of other nations
overwhelmed in native uprising, set
ting back the work of civilization in
Africa for decades, perhaps for CEN
turies.
The real danger in South Africa,
however, does not arise from the ma
tives- at this time, but from the ele-
ments Of white discomfort, upon whom
the German agents have evidently been
working with all their craft and guile.
The Boer war left much bitterness, and
the recent abortive revolt kept it alive
! in some. quarters. Shrewd misrepre-
sentation, practiced by the trained
/ Representatives of the Wilhelmstrasse,
has evidently worked already some
harm among the colonists. But in
Botha and Snuts South Africa has
two men of capacity and answering
fidelity, and there is reason to believe
that they will save the situation there
and prevent a disaster. .-.-- IL.

Root,

Elihu Root will address the New
York republicans at their Saratoga
meeting. He and Mr.. Roosevelt were
specially invited, and both accepted.
Mr.. Roots retirement from active
politics was much regretted at the
time, and the regret has grown. In
both executive and legislative office he
had disclosed rare gifts for public
business. He had brought order out
of some confusion in the War Depart
ment. lie had scored signally as Sec
retary of State. He had, at a bound,
50 to say, taken leading place in the
Senate. Then, of his own motion, he
returned to private life.
IF we may read in this announce
ment as to the Saratoga meeting a pur-
pose on Mr.. Roots part to "lend a
hand" again, the country and his party
are to be congratulated. He is a ma
tional figure, with national views and
great talents. He insists on being
listed as an old man. But he is much
too young for the shelf, and too vigor
Gus for repose. In the early seventies,
he carries his years with ease.
Mr.. Roots admirers place him at
the head Of the American bar. By his
public addresses he has placed himself
among the foremost speakers of the
country. His reputation is interna-
tional. Abroad, he is rated as highly
as at home. He is remembered there
for his work in the State Department.

CACKLE OF BIDDY
IS OMEN OF SPRING,

A cackle in the hen coop 10 almost as
sure harbinger Of spring az the
skipping of Cock Robin on bough, in
the opinion of Prof. C. H. Burgess of

Biddy is preparing for the hatchirg
season.
"Pullets and hens will before long
be in full laying" declares q press
bullet from the department of poultry
husbandry, eff they have not already
started-which is the wise poultry
mans cue to begin preparatitn ns for
the Matching season at once. Pullets
hatched in March and April will Law
best next winter. IL
''Select the best winter layers and
given them plenty Of room. Quarters
should be well lighted and clean with
10 to IL inches OF straw on the floor to
make the hens work for every kernel
Of grain they eat.
''In breeding one male should be
used with every 8 or 10 females Of the
heavier breeds, such as Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyan-
dottes and one male for I5to 20 females
of the lighter breeds. If free range is
provided, high fertility will be gained
in double the number of females
above.
Feed hard grain in excess Of mas h.
Corn and oats make good war ration.
One cubic inch Of sprouted oats should
also be fed to each hen daily, while
mangels, cabbage or other green food
is necessary for high fertility. Butter
milk or skilnmilk will yield higher
fertility than meat scrap, while meat
scrap will yield higher fertility than
green cut bone.
''Two-year old hens are better to
breed from than yearlings."

Water Tank Burns.

The town was made little drier
last Friday night, when the South
Shore water tank here was burned.
The tank caught afire from a stove
which was placed under the tank to
keep the pipes from freezing. When
the supports for the tank weakened the
tank fell across the track, delaying
traffic for about two hours. The night
freight brought down crew from
Herman and Taylor and they quickly
cleared away and debris.
The fire company was called out and
took . run around the block for exer.
else. There are no hydrants near the
track, SO the FIRE equipment was Of
no use.

THE THEATRES
The Pastime at L'Anse.

Most of the villains we have had in
photoplays from the very beginning Of
the finn industry have been the utter"
villains of tradition. They have been
bad just on general principles. Doug
las Fairbanks, however, has come TO
the rescue with an innovation in ''The
Good Bad Man." a. Triangle feature
which he wrote himself, srd in which
he is starred. This play will be shown
at the Pastime tonight.
The bad man here is most likable
young chap, whose depredations take
eccentric channels. For instsnce, he
holds up the Pacific Limited. and robs
the conductor of his ticket punch.
Again he holds up the town grocer and
robs him of quantities of food which
he bestows upon friendless little or
phan who lives on the outskirts of civ.
ilization.
The reason for this is that "Passin'
Through" as he calls himself for want
of better name, has no idea who his
father was. He suspects that he may
have been born illegitimate. There
fore, he is an enemy to society, which
would make him an outcast.
In the course Of the stirring action
Of the play, "Pasain' Through" learns
that his father was honorably married
to his mother, and that his parentags
was regular in every respect.
