Rev. j. III. Henley Failed I'd
Appear.

The great walk. Of ]. 81. Hen
ley last Monday failed to inter-
ss the people for the very SIM
pie reason that he did not walk.
Every preparation was made
by this paper for the walk, but
Mr.. Henley failed to appear, or
TO let the editor know as to his
whereabouts. The editor has
heard nothing from him siuce.
No doubt several hundred peo.
pie we're disappointed. They
were not nearly so badly disap.
pointed as the editor was. We
are out several dollars, in cash,
and have faithfully advertised
the matter. II is not the wish of
this paper to be known as unre-
liable, and it has acted in good
faith, in this matter. Mr.. Hen
ley not only tailed to bill his
contract, but has offered no ex-
PLANTATION. That is all that can
be said.

The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue, Washington, D. c.
Price. only so Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is q great Ma
tionsl agricultural paper. It circulates in
every part OF the country, and represents the
Interests of all the mers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
1t has special facilities for getting informa-
ton of real interest to all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, or in
any OF the Departments of the Government.
This Will be OF particular importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be a
PROLONGED and bitter struggle in Congress
over the po icy of protecting farm products.
The AMERICAN FARMER is on the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program OF placing wool on the
free list, and reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denounces this "a
making the farmers bear the greatesi part of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
IN favor of other interests. Every one who
fayors Justice and right TO farmers and
not political buucombe, should rally to
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its eircula-
tion.
Now is the time TO do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
The paper is large eighf-page quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filled with
mat er Of great practical interest to all
farmers

SENATOR HoAR's comparison of Minister
Wllis's mission with the Biblical incident OF
Joab's treacherous assassination of Amasa,
has caught the public fancy immensely.
Undoubtedly the Administration intended
that the incident should be carried out with
scriptural completeness, and that Willis
going to President Dole with words of
pleasant greeting on his lips should plant
the sword of destruction under the fifth
rib of his power. But cunning schemes of
this kind depend for success wholly upon
throwing the victim Off his guard. The
inference from the Biblical narrative is fair,
that if Amasa had been aware of Joab's in
tention, he would have sent that gentleman
before the Coroner, instead of becoming a
post m0rtea exhibit himself In this case
Amasa Dole was fully advised of Joab
Willis's intentions before the Administra-
tons Lord High Executioner arrived in
Honolulu. So were the people Of the United
States, and if there is any prodding under
the fifth rib to be done, it will be under other
ribs than those of the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii.

UNCLE SAM was exceedingly sensitive
about his credit with the men who lent him
money. The country, weak and staggering
from the awful strains of the war, was taxed
to the last limit of endurance in order to
pay the money-lenders principal and in
terest in gold. Why can he not show a
little constituencies as to his credit with the
men who saved not only bis credit but his
life, and who have now been waiting more
than quarter of a century for him to fulfill
his solemn promises to them?

The atrocious act Of the French rascal
who threw bomb into the Chamber of
Deputies last Saturday will case general
demand everywhere fer stringent legislation
against such miscreants. But, really, this
will be useless. The sworld has thoroughly
tried the experiment. of;extraordinary pun
ishments for specially heinous offenses, and
found them worsg than useless. 1t is the
certainty rather than the severity of the
punishment which deters men from the
commission of crime. The French police
have done admirably so far in promptly
discovering and arresting the rascal. Now
the best that can be done, and all that can
be done, is to guillotine him as speedily and
quietly as the forms of law will permit,
allowing him no opportunity for herocs
and sensational posing before the public.
Nothing quelled anarchy in this country SO
as the execution of the Hay
market bomb-throwers in Chicago.

fragrant invasion of it's duties as the Presi-

We hear much from free traders about
buying from foreign nations, so that they

our money in their pockets, and then, per-
chance, they will pay some of it back to us

to put the money in the pockets Of our own
