When prosperity is brought about
by the policy OF the political party
in power-such as was the case
under the recent Harrison admins,
tration-four years is entirely too
short~a presidential term; but when
it brings such disaster as we are ex-
periencing to-day, then four years is
exactly three years, eleven months
and twenty-nine days too long.
Twenty-four hours of it would be
plenty.

Shot Himself.

Oakland April 4-The buhcolng
of Old Daniel Culp, the Haywards
farmer who was robbed of $1,000, is
turning into a tragedy. After dis
covering that he had been swindled,
late yesterday afternoon Culp went
ont to a cabin on his foothill farm,
about five miles from his home, and
an hour of two later two workmen
on the place found that he had shot
himself with a He.ry rifle.
He had fearful cash along the
side of his head, but was still living,
and the doctors say that they do not
think the bullet reached the BRAIN.
The wound had not been rrobed up
to this morning. Some years ago
Culp was wealthy, but he had been
embarrassed with debts, aud it is said
that he had intended using the $1,000
which he lost to meet some pressing
claims.
His friends claim that he took the
rife out to shoot squirrels aud that
his woand was accidental, but thu:
is not generally believed.

WHEN THE WORLD SLOWS

We are told that HE low prices Of
products are due to over supply.
! Tnat is not true, but no matter.
What will come when the time ar
rives that there will be an under
sapplv for the swarming millions OF
the word! In the last few years all
tie domains of the earth that are
habltable have been ,1If re1 Inc
conquest of Africa, so long the Dark
Continent, is going ahead very rap
idlv. and in the next few years 1t
will be possible to board train at
Cairo, Egypt, and never get out of
the sleeper until it reaches Cape
Town, and soon that continent will
| be cut east and west by as many
trauscontinental roads as is our own
| continent today, and gradually the
| world will become zig China is now.
The great problem Of the people will
| be how to get enough food to eat.
| OF course, that time will be good
while removed from the present, but
it is coming. Then the man who
has little garden will be a little
king. Then the domestic animals
will begin to disappear; the horse
first, because electricity or steam or
| some other motor power Will do the
work which the horse does now.
| After that the food animals one at
ter the other will begin to disappear,
because in grains and vegetables, one
acre of land will supply mere food
every year than three acres can pro-
duce in animal food. When that
time comes, the aggressive instinct
lr man Will begin to die out. Of
course, we are not reckoning by life
times. All that is not coming about
right away, but about the most pitt
full thing to contemplate is the slow
inc down of the world until finally
there will be nothing left in men eE
cept the one instinct, to get l.:,-''-'.
food to live upon. This IS suppos :

race stops. 1t is a queer thought
1t makes the old world simply, IN an
inanimate way, what man in an IN
animate way is. That is, it lives out
its time, Naturally, too, when men
cease to eat animal food and then,
after a while cease to eat the cereals
of the world, their intelligence will
begin to die out, and it Is not out Of
place to imagine that at last theil
brains will be withered. They viii

ruled when the stone age was on the

that Coxey's army is only antlcIpat-

the whole race will degenerate dowr
to the point when they will be mere
root eaters, alike incapable Of exer-
