In 1861 barely 63 per cent followed the same occupation. In 1900 the percentage had fallen below 45 and &t the presefit time it has less! than 40. This means that 40 per cent of the population is trying to do ! for the ndtion of today what 90 per cent did 125 years,ago. The apple crop for the year was 69,000,000 barreis and in 1908, 23,000,000 barrels. This decrease of 46,000,000 barrels in twenty years Is Add to this item the great decrease in the production of maple sugar. Ode of the main hindrances to the reforestrition of the country, .accord- ing to Gifford Pinchot, is the fatt that the farmers can not afford to plant treeg on their land when they can get 1888 . .such, goqd prices for grains and grain- fattehied beef and pork. The farmer is letting little land go to timber growth with wheat at $1 a bushel and corn above 60 cents mast of the time. If the blame is to be laid at the door of the farmer, it can.oniy be because | he is trylng to do too maich. :If the number of farmers ‘ig’ o' be increased then more intensified farming must be the rule, thus increasing the mumber of food producers proportioned to the number of those who have to be fed. This, from the standpoint of Dr. Brady, is the only solution of the prop- osition. But the farmer will answer that he dces not syt the prices on his produce. The consumer, througn the commis- sion man and the stock market, does that, When the boycott was declared the farmer was the first to feel it. The commission man stopped buying or{ lelse cut prices and the farmer became the aggrieved individual. The only way to solve the whole problem, in the ‘opinfon of those who ought to know, is either to reinstate the old equilib- comes or readjust all conditions to the new and higher standard of life. A Case of Crocodile Tears. The action of the State Normal board Inyvoting to dispense with the services of President Crabtree of the Peru Norinal is seized upon for a terrifie - outery. by ' the. democratic World-Herald, which sheds great gobs of inky tears over this great wrong for ‘which the eruel’partisanship of a republican board {s to be blamed. We do not have' sufficlent” knowledge of the merits of the case to pass judg- ment on the question whether or not it is for the good of the Peru Normal school to have a nmew head. But we are sufficlently familiar with the babits of our amiable contemporary [to” detect ‘its' ldmentations dnd ‘tears to be of the ¢rocodile variety. When it tries to point an ‘object lesson of the perniciousness of political manipu- lation of educational fustitutions, it is merely using good precepts with .which all agree, to cover up a con- spiracy hatched in the late democratic legislature to an the- Normal schools to the democratic muchine, which conspiracy happlly failed, but for no fault of the democratic wire pullers, 2 i Nebraska's Normal schoold have for years been under control of a State Normal board, made up of seven mem- bers, two, of them elective state offl- |cers and five appointed by the gov- ernor, %o that one goes out each year. In the natural course of events §thruu;h appointment by the present democratic governor, the democrats would have secured adequate repre- sentatlon on this board, and 'if the democrats were continued 1o power in Nebraska long enough they would secure complete control of -the board. But this slow process was not fast | enough, and so a bill was introduced and passed legislating out of office altogether the existing Normal board and substituting. for it another board simlilarly constituted, but’with five of the seven members to be named anew by the present democratic governor. To get this bill and other partisan bills_through, ‘Governor Shallenberger had to make a deal with a republican state senator, the consideration. being the appointment of the state senator to the board In utter and open deflance of the constitution, which expressly prohibits such appointment, Only the inabllity of the democrats to draw a law and enact it in legal and valid form prevented the success. ful consummation of this political as- sault on the Normal schools. It.was claimants. The supreme court knocked out the new Normal board law, and the democrats “who were counting on it to help them connect with the pay roll found themselves holst by their own petard—hence these crocodilg tears. Mine Tragedies. The Cherry mine disaster of a few months ago was followed by another horrible disaster at El Frimero, Colo., still another at Drakesboro, Ky., and a fourth at Los Asparanzas. Then comes one Instance of a great disaster being prevented in King's Collier near Zanesville, O. Nearly :aree hundred lives lost \before we have a single in- stance of 'a disaster prevented. Are American people traveiing so fast that the lives of men are cheaper than the cost of up-to-date signallug apparatus, fire escapes and life-saving devices for | workers below the surtace? In all of these four disasters the lack of signaling apparatus as well as means of escape have been woefully lacking. The more Is the pity. Sud- denly to be cut off irom life without even a knowledge of the approach of danger, without the possibility of es- cape even if danger had been an- nounced, is a condition horrible to con- template. Something 18 wrong with our {industrial world which no ‘“‘ism, ology or politics” has remedied. Hu- man life has the rigit of protection while in the pursuit of legitimate busi- ness and profession. A humane atti- tude on the part of corporation em- ployers of men is a hard thing to de- velop. Labor unions have not sue- ceeded in accomplishing very much along that line and have also signally failed to develop such a spirit in their own ranks. If neither of them can be depended an to de much, an authority which can handle .the situation must take hold: X Object as we may ta the increasing centralization of governmental affairs, we have no right to do so when we can not get the desired resulis otherwise. It is not a question how the lives of miners are protected so long as they are protected. It King's Collier can be equipped so as to prevent disaster and the loss of life by a simple system of electric signals and by escapes, other mines can also. Not a life lost in King's Collfer and 150 men were in the mine at the time. It would be more sane and intelli- gent to do a little less red tape investi- gating and a little more preventing. ‘While Congressman Hitchcock, sup- posed to be representing this district at the national capital, was camping | on home base trying to mend his po- litical fences, Senators Burkett and Brown by active intervention prevailed on the War department officials to ar- range for the mflitary tournament to be held in Omaha next fall simultane- rlim ‘btween Jcosf of JIvibg ‘and .in-|ously with the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities. In other words, while our democratic congressman had hiked for home on private business, our two republican senators performed a service for Omaha of unusual and vital importance and got for Omaha the favorable consider- ation fyom the military authorities which it was asking. Moral: If Con- gressman, Hitchcock will only stay home lofig enough Omaha may get what it wants in Washington. It is explained that the reason the petition to “resubmit the question, “Wet or Dry?” in Lincoln was rejected by the city clerk on advice of the city attorney because each signer did not write after his street address the words, ‘“Lincoln, Nebraska,” was for fear the petitioners might live in Lin- coln, Illinois, in Lincoln, Kansas, or in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England. The petition itself starts out, “The under- signed voters of Lincoln, Nebraska, do hereby request.” - These stories about the refinements of legal technicalities must be’ greatly exaggerated. Congressman Latta of the Third Ne- braska district is telling it right out in meeting that he is a candidate for re- election and will file for the primary at the proper time. We had a sort of a half-suspicion of this all along, not- withstanding Edgar Howard's confi- dent assertion that he had a definite promise from the check-book man that one term would satisfy him. An objection is being raised in con- gress to forest rangers attending west- ern universities while on full pay. What is the difference so long as their studies are being pursued during the winter months when there is nothing to do on the range? Better have them lmprov’nx their opportunities and in- creasing their efficlency than to be loafing and doing nothin, The selsing of Prince Miguel's fur- niture at his palace in Vienna indi- cates that his American father-in-law has been woefully neglecting his duty. Americans, who have never bowed the kneée to foreign foe, wiil make obeis- ance and pay war indemnity to some pin-headed foreign prince in these days of frenzied matrimony .and be proud of it. An Indiana professor has pointed out that even Indians used paint for facial decorations. This he gives as an excuse for the modern feminine cus- tom along ‘the same line. You haven't found the right excuse yet, professor. The only excuse for facial decorations in these days may be-found on the face whispered at Lincoln that if the demo- crats succeeded In capturing the Nor- mal board, President Crabtree of the Peru Normal was to be retalned and the president of the Kehrney Normal decapitated and bis -place -and the places {n the two mew Normal schools were to be given to” good democratic of the individual, which 1s usually suf- ficlent.

It merely shows the difference whether it is a republican or a democratic ox that is gored. Bishop Whitehead of Pittsburg is reported to have asked all BEpiscopa- lians to refrain from reading the news. papers during Lent. It is safe to say that this will be another case of a clergyman’s advice being disregarded, especially if another divorce in Pitts-| burg high Iife should be forthcoming. ———— Pressure om the Ham.

New York World. An Interesting and suggestive item in the news is the rise In Great Salt lake, which 1s now higher than at any other time within the memory of white men, and which is threatening with its flood the famous Lucin outoff, bullt at such an enormous expense to a transcontinental rallroad. Six years ago it was announced positively that the lake was Arying up and that our grandchildren would see the dls- appearance of one of America’s great natural features. It would seem that the tears are groundless. The present swelling of the lake Is not due to heavy rains, but {s apparently a part of its habit. According to Indian tradition {t has a 'regular rise and fall, each extending over a perfod of thirty or forty years. The lake has not been known long enough to civilization for these state- ments to be verified by sclentific observers, but the legends of primitive and savage peoples are usually based on fact. The phenomenon of Great Salt lake finds its parallel elsewhere. It has been shown that the Great Lakes themselves have & steady rise and fall, although In thelr case it 1s slight. Rash observers announce start- ling discoveries and predict great disas- ters, but the face of nature makes perma- nent changes so slowly that man cannot tell any difference dn hundreds of years.

The adpths of domestic jurisprudence J\\4'" sounded By a New York court in a divorce case last week. The case turned upon the question whether a man found | under a bed at or about the midnight | hour was a burglar or a stray visitor. The wife, as defendant in the case, did her best to convinge the court that the | tellow was a burglar, producing testi- mony to show that when the husband pulled the intruder from his hiding place she screamed, called In the police and ordered his arrest. The court's chivalric | BpIrit was touched and for a time the scales leaned toward the screamer. Just as things seemed to be all her way the heartless husband proved that the bur- glar was clad only In hubby's nightgown and showed the garment, bearing hubby's initials on the collar. Where did he get it? How? Why? The court did not answer. Simply decided the man was not a burgiar. { The Bowery is going about in a condition approximating trance. It is dawning upon that reglon that the politiclans who have | been superior to mere laws and ordinances under recent city administrations are be- ing forced to obey the rules that apply | to the rest of the town. The other day a force of men armed with axes were demolishing the billboards which, in de- fiance of the ordinance, have been occupy- | Ing the pavement in front of the Sulllvan theater. A crowd collected In no time. Pretty soon a large man, with a cat-fur collar on his overcoat, bustled up. “What ve doing here?' he demanded of the boss of the crew. The boss told him. “But,” he said, dastounded, ‘“den't ye know this is Big Tim Sullivan's theater?' The boss sald no. He didn't know, and, what was more to the point, he didn't care. “If it,was Charley Murphy's the-ayter I'd tear thim blllboards down,” said bhe. “Do ye get that?" The large, cat-furred man hurried out to & telephone to call someone up and.remon- strate. He called official after officlal and distriét leader after disiriot leader, No one could ease his sorrow. Finally he got the private secretary of the mayor himself on the telephone. He was heard explaining the horror of the case over the wire: “Mind ye," sald he; “mind ye; It's Big Tim's the-ayter billboards they're tearing down; Big Tim's, mind ye." He paused for a reply. Gradually the look of triumphant indignation on his face changed to one of disgust. He slammed the recefver on the hook. And yet,” he sald to those who had gathered, “and yet they say this s a free country.” It is said that fully 80 per cent of the in- habitants of New York City live in flat In fact, the bullding of private residences in Manhattan has come to a standstill, we might say. At ‘the present time there are more than 100,000 flat houses in that city’ During the year of 10§ there were only thirty-elght private houses built there, while more than 20 were demolished to make room, usually, for more apartment houses. The everdincreasing number of flats In the big city, however, Is not the most distressing phase of the New York problem. Having to live in them s the most pathetic feature. Just to think of It, a million human belngs exist on Manhattan Island, from year to year, without experl- encing the mensation of living in a real home. Huddled into dininutive apart. ments, many of this million literally eat from their knees and bunk on shelves with never a’breath of wholesome air and rarely & sight ‘of 'tree or flower. 4 A young physician in the East Side, New York City, spends much time in charitable practice. In fact, he sometimes gives to a poor patient enough money to pay for pre- scriptions. “I'm not getting rich,” he ex- plains, “but T simply can't see them suffer for medicines that may put them on thelr feet again.” Not many days ago the doctor had occa- sion to visit a woman who occupled one small tenement room with her three chil- dren. After making out a prescription he gave her §2, telling her to buy the medicine and 1o uwe the change for needed food. On the following da. he was about to enter '| the tenement for a second call, he met the 10-year-old daughter of the patient. “How Is your mother?" he Inquired of the ehild. “‘Oh, she's all well,” was the answer. “She took that §2 and got a real doctor.” In Public School 21, in Mott street, at- fended by 20 children, most of whom are Ttallan, an experiment 1s being tried which may revolutionize the present luncheon system In the schools. About 200 children, ranging In years from 7 to 14, are now being fed at noon. They pay 8, 4 and b cents, according to whether they have an ordinary dinner or frult and cocon, a8 well: The meal Is hot and well cooked, and, ac- cording to physiclans on tho committee, contains more than enough nourishment for a child. The cooking Is Ttallan, so the children find the things with which they are famfliar. There are macaroni and spaghett! in abundance, and often there s a thick bean or pea soup, with three slices of bread. Sometymes Instead of soup rice and tomatoes are served. The gentlemen who belleve that New York City should hold a world's fair in 1913, because the Dutch first landed here in 1613, have incorporated themselves under the name of the Dutch Advancement com- pany, with a capital stock of $200,000. The incorporators are evidently good men, but are not among those celebrated in large type in “who's who" |n New York City. It will takq a large degrec of cnthus- fasm, push and energy to talk New York City into an exposition of this character. It was proposed to make a fair of the Hudson-Fulton celebration, but the con- clusion was reached that America had had its fill of events of that character, A HUMAN EXECUTIVE. ent Taft's M with the Boston Herald.

He had Interest of the presence of the man whom he had met more than once in battle. Nelson A. Miles Is over 70 years of age, and he has becn retired from active service for a decade. He Is one of the last officers of high rank who as a troops saw long and active service against the red people of the plains The brave and the soldler talked together in a way that was marked by positive expressions of affection. The last time that the Sioux were on the path agalnst the whites in vears In the past, and the two men who met in the White House were active par- ticlpants In opposing ranks In the cam- palgn which probably marked the close of frontier Indlan warfare The last time that General Miles had seen the warrfor whom he met In the president's room was when the ghost- dance crase took possession of the Dakota tribes twenty vears ago and led them by a blind faith in the promises of thelr medi- cine men to take to the war path. Milec spoke of Red Clotd, and the old Sloux waved his hand forward and sald “Ta, which s the Sioux for “Dead.” The soldier nodded and then one after another named Little Wound, American Horse, Young - Man - Afrald - of - His - Horses and Standing Bear. The Sloux after each name made the forward movement of his hand and sald “Ta.” The old warriors, white and red, wha met on the plains in battle as chieftains of the warring forces are nearly all dead While the fighting was going on In places far removed from civilization the Ameri- oan people knew little of the Immensity of the struggle that was in progress in the west, and they knew less, and appreciated not at all, the sacrifices of the soldiers of the American army. The records of the plains warfare have been all too imper- | fectly kept. Before the last of the solders and the braves who had & part In the con- flicts have ‘“gone forward” an attempt should be made to Increase the present store of knowledge and to give to the American people an adequate history of the wars of the western frontier. BOYCOTT IN THE COURTS. lcanee of Verdict in Danbury Hat Cawe. 8t. Louls Republic. The case of D. B. Loewe of Danbury, Conn., against the United Hatters of North Amerlca for damages on account of a boycott declared against his business has resulted In a. verdict In the United States court for damages of $222,000. probable that the matter will reach the supreme court. This s highly desirable. A boycott is the sort of agreement to harm which, if entered into elsewhere than the ranks of “labor,”” would be plain conspiracy. The lower courts have handled these matters with meticulous conservatism. A decision from the supreme tribunal of the land, ultimately down, Is greatly to be wished. Decisions already rendered as to the right of striking employes to prevent other men from taking their pluces have pro- hibited the use of “intimidation and force," but allowed ‘persuasion and ary ent."" It s obvious that ‘thé iInferpretation of the word “persuaston” in guch a connec- tion is a delicate matter, and In truth a “twilight zone” has been developed be- tween “persuasion” and “intimidation,” in which strange things have sometimes come to pass, reminding the onlooker of Sam Weller's advice to hls father concern- ing the Reverend Mr. Stiggins: “I'd drop ‘Im into the water-butt fust, and put the 11d on; and then, if I found he wos Insen- sible to kindness, I'd try the other per- svasion.” It might be well to remark, in this con- nection, it is highly important that in la- bor troubles there should be responsibility on both sides. Workingmen should re- celve such wages as make responsibility possible. A union, strong and well org: ized, with ample funds in its treasu and responsibility before the law, is a much better thing, viewed elther from the laborers’ or the employers’ side, than an organization without funds, discipline or stabllity, Impressive Reminder of Time's tnter- | Indians of the Sloux tribe.
