Fertility tends to make fertility.
Good crops grown from the land, fed to
good stock upon the land, and the by
products returned to the land with due
care, will make better land, bigger
crops, and enable the feeding of more
stock. Then you have more manure
again, and the same round goes on and
grows more money as it does so.

SHALL WE PROFIT BY ExrERIENcE.

The experiences of the past winter in
providing for the unemployed in the larger
cities are being made the subject of COM
ment and deductions by intelligent men,
there is cause to fear that this experience
will be repeated. One thing upon which
all writer's agree is that municipal govern
ments are utterly inadequate to deal with
the problem of taking care of thousands
Of unemployed. Another point upon which
all agree is that indiscrimlnate aims giving

when, If turned over to proper organiza-
ton. they would manage to care for them
selves. The great problem. one yet to be
solved. is to take care of the unemployed
who would care for themselves if they
could find labor which they can do The
tramp can be taken care of when the
time comes. because he can be colonzed
and made to work. When this policy is
rigidly pursued the professional "hobo''
will vanish.
But there are thousands Of people, and
the thousands are becoming more numer-
Gus every passing year by immigration,
who cannot find employment They are
capable of performing only the simplest
and toughest labor. When there are no
streets to build or to repair. no railways
paratively little employment for these in
creasing thousands in cities into which
they huddle. A few would-be reformers
and labor agitators who are Socialists urge
for these men 1.-THE right to work. that
is the right to be employed. 1t is this ele-
ment. which includes some of the Ely
school of sociologists. who hinder rather
than help the solution OF the problem.
There is no justice in the theory that. be-
cause there are in the country three times
as many men who can only use pick and
shovel as there is pick and shovel work
TO do. the State or the city. that is the
people must furnish them with employ
ment at such work when IL is not needed.
Such theory is but another name for
the confiscation of the property OF indi-
viduals That may be good socialism, but
IL is not common sense justice. To adopt
such a theory would fill cities with an In
ferior class of labor. which sooner or
later could not be employed in building
streets and sewers. Several cities made
appropriations for street work TO relieve
last winters distress. II the reports are

The incident shows. first. that Senator Call
is particular as to the color of his hose,

ing principles. Undoubtedly, he ought to be

exchanged for 30 cents; that is. for every
dollar expended but 30 cents was received
in street work. Even Socialists, If they
have any practical sense. must see that the

people at employment for which there is
no call must load their system down with
the burden of these incompetents..

full men who have been go near the exc
periences of last winter in cities as TO
study them carefully? Naturally efforts
to limit and reduce the number of men
who have grown up with capacity to do
only the simplest kind of labor. This can
be done by stopping the immigration of
such labor and by devising methods to
scatter the masses of it out of cities. Sew

as the production of beet sugar on a wide

largest number of people within a given
territory. but the time may be coming.
