The purpose of the visit of Rider Haggard, the English novelist, to this country must ¢atise no little surprise. The author of fantastic tales was hardly to have beep expected to appear aa A commissioner of the British government to investigate complex industrial condi tion He ts to inquire into the Salvation Army's agricultural cajonles ‘with a view to applying the scheme in South Africa for the benefit of the growing army of destitute umemployed im Great Britain. The expenses of the visit are paid by the Ceel! Rhodes estate, as the colonization of South Africa by the worthy poor of the United Kingtom who find themselves condemned to idieness and misery through no fault of their own was one of the “empire builder's” pet schemes. It seems that in the opinion of Mr. Haggard and the British col- onial office the Ameriean Salvation Army has practically demonstrat- ed the posstbilities of the kind of colonization seeded in England. The army has estabished during the last sfx years successful co!- ‘nies in Cailfornia, Colorado and Ohio. About $300,000 have been expended in the purchase and colodization of 3000 acres of land, upon which 450 men, women and children have been settled. Each family ‘te eelf-supporting; the small two-acre irrigated farms are now worth from $2,000 to $5,000 each. On ono colony the tamiltet averaged an fgeome of $800 each last year. A bili providing for colonization on a large le by the United States government itwelf is before congress, having been tntroduced by the late Senator Hoar. A much larger demonstration than that made by the Salvation Army even ts that of the New Zealand government, which passed in 1904 the Advances to Settlers Act, with a view to aiding bona fide settlers to make homes upon the land. At the end.of eight years the Official report shows that $18,000,000 have been advanced on securit- fep valued at more than $40,000,000. There have been no losses. The sinking fund amounts to $600,000, and there fs already a surplus of no Teas than $340,000. It is moteworthy-that whereas the actual loans in New Zealand amounts to $18,000,000, additional loans amownting $7,900,000 were OMered by the government, but decined, the inference beimg that the Settlers were able to get still better terms from private sources when they could show the capitalist what the government was prepared to do. The proposed legislation fm the United States and tn Great Brit- ala would serve many valuable purposes. It would relieve the congestion of our great cities. It would tern our surplus population “back to the land.” It would prevent the workingman’s family from being broken up, apd would afford him an opportunity for becoming a home owner. It would create an admirable opening for the middle-aged work- Ingman with a family. At present he is not wanted either by the city @m@poyer or by the farmer. The former prefers the young single man or woman; the latter the cowboy. Jt would convert the dummy homesteader into a genuine settler, Gnd remove the temptation to fraud, which his poverty at présent crentes. t Tt would-faefiiate the rapid Oteupation ©. onr wast agricultural teas with the most desirable class of settler, the small farmer who Works his land himself with the assistance of bis family. It would solve the problem of the wise distribution of population, by placing the fagdiexs man on the maniess land. Systematic colosization by means of the man without money fe doubtless jast a8 feasible as manufacture by means of the same class. The great question is: Where is the ne from? Ultimately there cannot be the slightest doubt that private enter- Prise will supply all the capital that may be required. But it is most important and Indeed necessary that the government should lead the way, and thereby create a channel for the flow of « Nal, as our own government is now doing in the ense of the develop- ment of the Philippines and as it bas done with some of the early tcanscontinestal raflroads essary capital to come ynfidence and eap- Your Spring Attire May be selected here to good a ntage.
