James J. Hill is still active in his selt-appointed task of urging thé farmers of the west to work with more earnest offort to better ends. To the charge that Mr. Hil] is selfish In a de- gree I this work may be answered that he is not the sole beneficiary of the result of his crusade. While it is true that he has profited directly by the Increase of production of the terri- tory served by the rallroads of which he s the master mind, it is equally true that millions of men and women have been benefited just as directly. The northwest, from the Mississippl river to the Puget Sound, owes its develop- ment to the polielas and persistence of James J. Hill as much as to any other one cause. The message Mr. Hill brings is not to the pioneer farmer, but to the farmer who has established himself on the soll, and who is reaping golden The message is simply that of business methods prac- tically applied. to agriculture. The raflroad magnate has tested the: methods in his own affairs. He has increased the hauling power of his lo- comotives and the carrying capacity of his cars. He has speeded up the men engaged in the business, and has done all, perhaps, that might be done to in- crease efficlency and decrease unit cost of service, and the result of this effort has proven not only to Mr. Hill, but to all who have watched his progress, the correctness of his €onclusions. Now he propbses that similar meth- ods be applied to farming. Mr. Hill is a ploneer in this work, and for this reason his voice should be heeded more carefully than that of those who have followed him. Other rallroad men have seen the wisdom of his course and have undertaken to convince the farm- ers pf the necessity of better ways to till the soll. Agricultural experts from the colleges have lectured on seed gelection and soil preparation and other rudimentary propositions, and much good has resulted. But the work has only commenced. Mr. Hill's proposal that a band of young men be sent out from the schools each planting season to per- sonally instruct the farmers in matter of seed and soil is an excellent one. No money could be expended trom which the returns would be more certaln or more direct. The pity is that it is necessary at this time that such fundamental knowledge should have to be dinned and hammered into the farmers of the west. The message of James J. Hill should be given greater attention than it ever was be- fore, Svomm———— Modernizing Warfare. Every mew invention in the matter of firearms s seized upon as the basis for a freshening of the argument that the modernizing of warfare will make battles so deadly that wars will be- come impossible. The Maxim silencer is a case in point. Yet Brigadier Gen- eral Crozier, in his annual report as chief of ordnance, eliminates the Maxim device as a factor by recom- mending that it be not adopted by the United States army. General Crozier's objection to the si- lencer is that itsa use would, while eliminating much of the noise of firing, betray the troops to the enemy, as on damp or cloudy days the slow escape of gas from the sijencer be- comes visible and assists the opposing force in locating the firing line with exaotitude. § The fact remains that all efforts to modernize warfare thus far have falled to remove the elementals from the field of battle. Some inventions, such as the rapid-fire gun, the high-power rifie and smokeless powder, have taken their place among the permanent de- However, the national legislators evidently are finding that Mr. Taft's cold s In his head, not his heart. —— A Michigan man claims to have been cured of rheumatism by a dream.

At the mere threat of strike he threatens to put up, not wages, but rates. yelopments of combat, but many oth as in the case of the silencer, have failed to establish their value, and so long as men have occasion to g0 to war they probably will be guided much as in the days of old, by the de- sire to kill, concerning which all the modern improvements devised to date haye failed to establish any material differentiation of new battles from old. Government Iuhumanity to Heroes. The seasoned surfman who at the risk of his own body saves ships and lives In the bitterest of seasons and the most desperate of weather comes In for popular plandits with each re- curring tale of heroism in his line of duty, with never a reflection that the government which employs him makes no provision for his morrow. The shameful facts are emphasized by Secretary MacVeagh of the Treas- ury department hils recommendation to congress that sciae system of pen- slons for those disauted or superannu- ated In the life-saving service be pro- vided, 8o niggardly has the govern- While New York state is listening to the volces of the milk combine In- vestigation, let It not deafen its ears to the pill of the town pump, ST —" Surgeon General Torney presents himself ln the guise of a real diplomat when bhe boosts the hookworm with- out knocking the soldler who has it.

As the case stands, the Treasury de- partment is compelled to thrust out upon the world men who, in devoted gervice to the government, have be- come (ncapacitated for earning a lv- ing In any private vocation, men who have to their credit deeds of self-sacri- fice that have honored the nation. During the last year the life-saving service labored with 1,878 stricken vessels, carrying 8,900 persons, and in .{their entire fleld of operations only thirty lives were lost, while ‘nearly $14,000,000 fn property was salvaged. plea that these men be provided for when they are disabled or exhaust their energles In the service, and the fact that under existing regulations the treasury must send them adrift as derelicts indicates the need for some such remedial legisiation as that pro- posed by the secretary The Steer to the Resoue. Just at a time when the problem has been presenting itself of how to augment the meat supply in the face of an increasing demand which made the packers turn their eyes in the di- rection of Argentina, the forestry bu- reau offers evidence that the matter in a measure is adjusting itself, and the bureau sees the salvation of /the native meat question in the develop- ment of the range-bred steer. According to the bureau experts, the current season has seen large numbers of this specles topping the feeder mar- kets at all points where feeder steers are sold, and this in spite of the fact that ten years ago eastern buyers pur- chased this class of stock only as a last resort and then rated it at a low price. So thoroughly seems the western steer to be coming into his own that the forestry service Is cultivating his opportunities and s finding stockmen eager to utilize the ranges in the na- tional forests for his exploitation: Hitherto inaccessible ranges are being opened, and the experience of the bu- reau {s that animals fed on the fine, nutritious grasses of these higher ele- vations is sent to the feeder markets in good health and with solid flesh. The bureau’s enthusiastic review of the achfevements of the range-bred steer, coupled with the opportunities for accommodating herds in the na- tional forest reserves, may be regarded as indicating that, notwithstanding the shrinkage of the avallable range through the settlement of the country, the native meat supply is in no danger of exhaustion, for with his modern breeding the western steer bids fair to hold his bwn with the stock cattle whose Inferior he was long pepularly supposed to be, The Boxcar and the Steamboat. James J. Hill's attitude on the Pan- ama canal and waterways generally is not a surprise. It has been the prac- tice of the rallroad man from the be- ginning to belittle waterways, and from the position of the “‘top dog” just |now he has a lovely opportunity to bark. But men as wise in their day and generation, perhaps, as Mr* Hill have staked much in the way of prophetic reputation on the utility of the canal, and what applies to the canal applies with equul force to the twelve-foot channel in the Mississippl river, European experience has proven that even a three-foot channel gives the box car such & lively chase that it has never succeeded In gaining very much of an upper hold. It would have been too much to expect that Mr, Hill would give enthusiastic endorsement to the waterways scheme, but the fact that he does urge a comprehensive, rather than a plecemeal, plan is proof that he has studied this as he has other phages of the great social and economic problems that are presented to modern civilization. Down in his heart Mr. Hill knows that the greatest competitor the railroads can have will be the waterways. Asleep at the Throttle, Reports of the wreck of the Boston midnight express while through the darkness at forty miles an hour indicate that the engineer was asgleep in his cab, having been ordered to take the train out of New York de- spite his protest thet he had been on duty forty-eight hours, Under such circumstances, the re- sultant collision is hardly to be won- dered at, but what the general publie would be interested to know is how it was posdible for any rallroad officlal to permit any man in his employ to take charge of a locomotive when so mani- festly in need of rest. The accident happened in Connecti- cut, the headquarters of the road are in that state and there is afforded for the legal authorities of the Land of Steady Habits an excelient opportunity for holding the responsible person strictly to account. In this case it would be well to find the man higher up. ——— I Mr. Bryan hastens to assure the democratic donkey that he s not to be hitched to ome large, comprehensive water wagon, but that he is going to be permitted to pull a numerous string of dinky liitle water wagons, whose piMing sprinkle will affect only the dust in some isolated and separated localities and cannot under any condi- tions be considered as a gageral deluge. Just which one of his w er eyes Mr. Bryan has turned in the direction of old Kentucky, where sits “Marse” Wat- terson, “‘Gathering his brows like a gathering storm and nursing his wrath to keep it warm,"” cannot be accurately stated, but the signs are that the feeler put out by the great commoner in his recent speech did uot strike the respon- sive ohord he hoped for. Minnlemascot may yet be permitted to serve the thirsty in Goldfield by capering lightly at the front end of a beer wagon, and the jackass may or may not haul the water wagon as he locally elects, while the peerless leader casts anxiously about for another paramount.

With his customary acumen, Mr. Bryan has detected this. just as he for saw that the army was to be in- creased 8o that the discontented might be held in chech at the point of the bayonet when there were full dinner palls only in penitentiaries. There was a wise man who knew more things that were not so than anybody elss, with one exception. For further particulars, apply to Mr. Bryan. POLITICAL DRIFT.

Warren is one of the venerable, full dress institutions of Ohie, but since the bearded prophet, Grosvenor, was forcibly detached, most any Buckeye idol mey be bowled over. Colonel Henry Watterson bets a hot din- ner for twelve with the editor of the New York World, that Theodore Roosevelt's admirers will be mussing the scalps of President Taft's supporters by the fall of 1911, The wager (s to be decided on or about the first Monday in December of that year.

Rea- sons for this confidence are two-fold: Lib- eral party sucoess, if it means anything, means a restriction of the co-equal power |of the House of Lords. It is to be expected the péers will not assent to a restriction of thelr power. In that event it will be necessary for the ministry to demand the creation of @ eufficlont number of new | peers to overcome the present tory major- ity. The most optimistic prophets of the outcome scarcely hops for a clear tory ma- jority in the House of Commons, In elther case a narrow margin would put in the hands of the nationalists the fate of any ministry that falls to give home rule the right-of-way among reform measures. Lib- eral party leaders are publicly pledged; po- litical necessities may extort it from ihe ancient enemy. - Dearly as an Englishman is sald to love a lord, few political prophets whose oplnions are worth while anticipate a rush among the masses to assume the tax burdens the landlord and liquor lords de- clined to shoulder.

An extensive exhibit of Amkerican manu- factures, the oontrasts that may be drawn trom it, and the trade possibilities it may develop, congtitute ground for alarm In Interested German eircies. The Reinisch- Westtaclische Zeitung, a trade publication of Essen, attacks the exposition as one most lkely to Injure German trade by affording Americans an opportunity to show the excellence of thelr manufac- tures. It calls Prince Henry of Prussia, an otflsial of the show, “‘an agent of Ameri- can’ trade,” and expresses a fear of the effect of a contrast between German and American wares. The projectors of the| exposition are not in the scheme for amusement or recreation. They are In it for the purpose of extending American trade, regarding Germany s a fertile fleld for boosting business. which draws attention to the show, even though untriendly, 1s to be welcomed.

The struggle for existence causes the dissolution of landed estates that have been handed down for generations. In- herited habits of idleness among the coun- try gentry account for some of this dis- tress. But the change In land ownership mhy disturb the balance of soclal affairs in the villages. A pamt of the trouble is caused by taxation,which has affected the prosperity of farmers. When all the sev- eral forms of public dues are deducted from tho proceeds of the harvest, the landown- ers’ profits are out down, while at the same time the market prices of all commodi- | tles are rising. One source of expense and cor sequent trouble sems to be the intro- duction of western fashion. The sons of tenant fa wear Buropean hats and clothing., The gentry take to stock specu- letion and te the prometion of risky and unfamiliar business enterprises, thus en- dangering their estates and perhaps im- poverishing thelr familles. The money cost to France of the war with Germany, In 1§10, as estimated by the French minister of finance, is aston- ishing. He says it was §10,000,000,000. The indemnity that Bismarck exacted was $1,000,000,000, but that leaves 39,000,000,000 to account for, The tinance minister reckons, of course, on the basis of the actual cost of the military operations during the war, | with the indewmnity thrown in, and adds the money vaiue of all the property and lives destroyed, the paralysis of trade, the !laten Interest payments on the war loans, the pensions and the like, Altogether, the losses make & steggering folal for about one year of war. “What might we not have done,” exclalmed the finance minis- ter, In & recent speech on the French bud- get, “for the material and soclal progress of France, with the $10/0,000,00 which the war cost us.'' In dustrial assoclations have been organ- ized in weversl parts of lreland for the en- coursgement of native manufacturing and the protection of Irish-rasde §00ds against foreign competition and spurious lmita~ tions abroad.
