it may be feared, to bo disputed.
America is the great market for South

of a high decree of national culture,
associated with great wealth, remarks
the Springfield Republican, It remains
for our European critics to say. it 1>;
certainly true that the panic In Ameri-
ca caused the bottom to fall directly
out of the diamond market and to
bring about that acute crisis which is
now agitating the diamond trado In
London directors' meetings, Amster-
dam cutters' shops and South African
mines. Viscount St. Aldwyn's hopeful
remarks to his fellow-shareholders of
the llatik of Africa seem to have been
based entirely upon the assumption
that, with business recovery In the
United States, "tho natural appetite
of American wotnen for diamonds"
will nguln "triumph," and then tho dia-
mond market will be as good as ever.
That seems reasonable, no doubt, l'le

Islands It ought to find l'earl Harbor

Pago and Guam there should be forti-
fied coal depots, but these are want-
ing, after more than ten years' control
and known need. In the Philippines
there is not a dry dock which can
take In the larger battleships and no
repair shops adequate to the fleet.
Neither tho floating dry dock there
nor tho repair shops are protected by
fortifications. From tho tlmo the
fleet leaves San Francisco until It en-
ters New York, if the battleships are
docked it will be under another flag.
If they are. repaired It will be In the
friendly navy yards of other powers.
What would be thought of a railroad,
asks the Philadelphia Press, which
provided no repair shops for its loco-
motives when the time was certain to
come when other repair shops would
be closed to It? Yet tills Is sure to
come in war to our fleet. It can cross

cross the Pacific aware that it can
neither dock nor repair.
Not Put the State Convicts to
Building Public Roads?
The American farmer is today con-
fronted with no more serious econom-,
Ic question than that of good roads.
Everything ho touches Is affected by
the roads, and all tho additional cost
Involved In the poorer transportation
facilities must ultimately come out of
the farmers' pocketB. We regret that
the following clipping has come to us
without credit, for It Is n very valua-
ble contribution to the good roads lit-
erature of this period and should fur-
nish some rich food for thought to the
members of the Farmers' Union:
The farmers of Illinois have asso-
ciations looking to the betterment of
highways, but up to date they seem
to have missed the most vital point
In an Intelligent agitation.
Convict labor will reduce the Initial
cost of good roads to a point where
the tax on local communities would
be almost unnoticeable. The State's
co-operation In the building of good
roads is essential. Tills co-operation
may tako either of two forms or both
—cash appropriations or convict labor.
Some progressive Eastern States,
like Massachusetts, co-operate wilh
county authorities in road building by
liberal cash appropriations. They
stimulate local efforts by meeting I lie
initial expense half way. The result
Is a system of good roads that shames
less progressive States.
Not until within recent years has
there been an organized attempt to
Improve Illinois roads by State super-
vision. Even now the State appro-
priations for this purpose are so small
that tho road commission can only
point out evils without remedying
them. The roads of Illinois are a
crowning disgrace to the third State
in the Union.
Farmers shy at the Initial cost of
building good roads. Then why do
they not Insist that their legislators
shall aid them by the employment of
convict labor? The latter will not In-
crease anybody's taxes. Had roads
cost Illinois farmers far more every
year than any other single item of
expense, direct or Indirect.
llad roads are a direct tax on agri-
cultural Industry. They add to the
cost of hauling every bushel or grain
or other farm product to market.
They isolate the farmer and liis family
dining certain months of the year.
If tho farmers would lax themselves

every outlay. Hut such lax Is unnec

roads would mark au advanco in scl
n ti lie criminology. This form of
constructive labor would give- oouvicts
tLe benefit of sunlight and freshv air
without Interfering with necessary cur-
tailment of their liberty. Outdoor em-
ployment under strict surveillance Is
the Ideal of all modern criminologists.
Thus the conditions are lipe for
starting an agitation that will benefit
every agriculturist In the Stute and
also solve some of tlie vexing prob-
lems of prison labor. Every farmers'
association should unite In this agita-
tion. The Legislature will respond to

THE BOOK FARMER.
How One May Avoid Book Farming.
Every now and then we find a far-
mer who has a horror of book farmers,
and would not for any consideration
be considered by his neighbors a**
such. Wo wish to help this fellow, and
therefore make a few suggestions:
First, we advise him not to keep
any books for his farm operations.
Simply go along from year to year,
taking what you get without knowing
what It costs you, avoiding all accu-
rate knowledge of what it has cost you
to produce a ton of hay, a bushel of
| In the colonel's office the blinds
i were drawn save one, the wood fire
was half white embers, and the room
i «as stuffy and dark. In the gloom-
5 lest corner of all, where the great pol-
ished desk was dimly outlined in the
> liadows, sat the leonine old man him-
self, his weakening gray eyes strained
out across tho drill ground where a
squadron of his cavalry was maneu-
vering in the white glare of a Texas
sun on naked Texas limestone. The
motives and the song of the rapidly
while their brown muchachos drew hi •
bath and laid out his linen and fined
the bronze buttons into his painfull>
new kbakl, they warned and coached
him and commiserated wltli blni.
When he was arrayed as to uniform
and girded and spurred, they walki'.i
with him to the headquarters veranda
and watched him enter the low, dai!;
doorway, while their hearts beat in
sympathy with him; he was such a
clean-cut, wholesome boy. One of
them went as far with him as the ad-
shifting picture was youth, triumphant j jutant's desk, unconsciously tiptoe
and resistless.
The horses were wild, eyes blood
shot, nostrils red, but the men who
rode them still loosened rein, stood in
their stirrups and yelled like tho
demoniac horsemen of Attila. Their
cheeks were flushed with the adoles-
cence of 20; and as the gait grew
furious, boot to boot aud shoulder to
wheat or oats, a pound of pork or bei f gjjoulder, they, too, became crazed
or butter. Such information as this Is w|(h |he' |„-ima] fervor of swift, lire-
dangerous to the man who Is fearful
of being a book farmer.
Don't take any agricultural papers
They, too. are dangerous, for they
mlgiit set you thinking. They might
contaminate your mind with the result
of experiment stations or the experi-
ence of farmers. If you read any ag-
riculture paper at all, read one that
somebody has sent you for nothing in
order to get your trade or your patron-
age, or for some other reason, honor-
able or dishonorable. This will not do
you much harm, but better not take
any at all.
By all means keep away from all
agricultural Institutes. Avoid particu-
larly any lectures that have the least
tinge of science. It is true that sci-
ence is only the application of com-
mon sense to farm operations, ami
that it only teaches how to obey the
laws of nature; but science smacks of
book farming, and, therefore, every-
thing that has the remotest connec-
tion with science should be avoided.
Keep away from farmers' institutes.
To further avoid any possible dan-
ger of becoming a book farmer try to
sistible motion. The flapping pen
nants of the guidons and the flying
manes blew in their faces, and
through the dust clouds from their
horses' feet their sabers flashed glints
of the sun to the colonel's eyes and
his own blood quickened with theirs;
but as they wheeled Into column and
broke to right and loft at the end
of the course, he drooped back In his
In dread of the painful shriek of his
companion's new boots. The subal-
terns' faces were framed white in th
window, and the adjutant and til*
men outside held their breath as th !
new boots creaked in the strained
silence straight up to the dreaded
door.
A dropping pin would have sounded
clearly, and the boy's firm tap, tap,
tap shattered the stillness and echoed
In the bare room. The silence closed
in again for five anxious seconds, a
bass growl rumbled from the shad-
ows, and the boy was in the presence.
Perhaps the colonel drowsed a littl".
He often did in these latter days be
neath the kindly faces on the wall
that smiled and grew dim as seen
through something In ills eyes. Per-
haps he did, for surely this was the

There were they—the men who had

men who were young when he was

their youth—who were slowly forcing
him from the service that he loved;
and he almost hated—them and their
