Minority Leader Mann made a desperate fight to prevent the passage of the measure and the dem- ocrats were obliged to apply a special rule in order to bring the debate to a close and limiting the number of yea and nay votes to five. This satisfied the republicans that the intended to stop filibustering tactics and they decided not to continue their dilatory fight. The vote was 215 for the bill to 121 against it. This bill has been the most stub- bornly fought of any of the adminis- tration measures exéept perhaps the tariff bill since Mr. Wilson became president. It has been freely predict- ed that it would be beaten but the president has again given proof that he is a better politician and a more skillful organizer than some were wil~ ing to give him credit for. The fight in the senate will be more severe be- cause the administratian has a smaller majority there and it looks as if the measure gets through it be in an emasculated form because of the | ty of making concessions in or- | der to win. But the president is ex- pected to exert his influence there as he did in the house, And there are some who think that he will win out in the end. bill reasons, democrats may necess for being The has been opposed va- rious among them feeling that it may involve the country war, but there is also some evi- dence that it is being opposed b, ping interests.

That would be unfortunate. Death Rates and Explanations, (Chicago Tribune.)

The bill and report include features which | have much to commend them. While there are many families, living undor. most unwholesome conditions in con- gested districts, who would to move to the country and soil, to send them there thout knowledge of any phases of agricul- ture would be to invite almost certain failure. The homestead commission | therefore urges the establishment of | local schools for the teaching of agri- culture to families, a plan which would result in sending to the country those desiring to producers with at least a working knowled how profitably to raise their Tae state”boazd of education ha recently conducted an investigation to learn how city families of the poorer classes, many of them recent immi grants, ‘would regard agricultural in- uction and removal to the land. The report was based on inquiries made of 500 typical families in Bos ton’s north and west ends, and 168 d a desire for agricultural in- struction, This is Tregarded as a higher percentage than actual facts warrant, but probably it would not be a difficult matter to people the state's waste acres if a proper plan could he devised for locating there these city dwellers The bill provides tha town accepting the act “may establish and maintain schools for teaching to families and to individuals in da part time and evening classes, gar dening, fruit srowing, floriculture, poultry keeping, animal husbandry and other branches of agriculture and horticulture.
