SALVATION ARMY FARMS.

The project to colonize the sugar. beet
lands of the Salinas Valley through the
agency of the Salvation Army has aroused
throughout this wealth all inter
est in keeping with its promise and i'm
portance. A special value, therefore, at
this time and in this particular field of
work is the article in the August Forum,
ty Commander Booth Tucker on the
Farm Colonies OF the Salvation Army"
The leader OF the Salvationlsts in Amer
lea believes that the ultimate and only ra-
tional cure for the congestion of our great
cities is to remove the surplus population
to the land. The trout Bile with the pauper
policy and criminology of most civilized
countries to-day is that "instead OF the
surplus being removed it is accum ulateI
in reservoirs OF ever-increasing magni-
tude, where, without any natural outlet,
the waters stagnate, breeding corruption,
isease and DEATH" Commander Tucker
would have those same waters judiciousiy
distributed over the arid surface of the
sparsely populated soil of our vast agri-
cultural areas, where they would produce
rich harvest of honest, self-supportlng
husbandmen. He declares that the di-
yorce of the small landed proprietor from
the soil has been the great cause of the
depressed state OF agriculture, and that 10
assure permanent prosperity on a rationa al
basis the balance of the population must
be restored from the city to the country.
"Tho surplus population of our cities"
contends the writer, neither can nor will
conduct their own exodus to the lard OF
peace and plenty, which might and ought
to be theirs" They must have suit ble
leaders, who understand the habits and
have no axes to grind. and capital is de-
sired. in its own interest, to afford the
workingman a fair chance of getung at
the land.
The Salvation Army is eager to have
every effort OF the kind, as in the case of
the Salinas colony, "placed on a purely
commercial basis, under the personal
superintendence of business men OF ap-
proved probity, discretion and energy"
To carry out an exodus of an extensive
character-and we are told that there are
5000, 900 people in our large cities requir-
ing to be handled-Booth- Tucker SAYS an
agency is demanded which will com bine
the qualifications Of cheapness, honesty,
skill. hum bers, seIf.sacrifce and the aoil-
ity to inspire confidence in those whom it
seeks to lead. The poor classes have con-
fdence in the Salvation Army, and this
confidence has been created by years OF
patient work, in which the qualifications
above enumerated have been amply exem.
plitied.
If the colossal work be now unde rtaken

being done in San Francisco, where prom.

curious point came up for discussion in
the English House of Commons one day re-
Gently, when Mr.. Gedge submitted a memo
rial from his constituents OF the town Of
Walsall in typewrit:en manuscript 1t is
rule of the house that all petitions must be in
written or Hthographic form and on this
ground the Speaker declined to consider the
honorable members memorial. Mr. Gedge
urged its acceptance saying that the rule was
adopted before typewriters were invented,
but ne unable 10 carry his point. He is
now planning to move an amendment to the
rule at the earliest opportunity. The same
rule applies 10 ell of the official departments
of the British Government All documents
that emanate from the various branches OF the
Ministry are still written in long hand upon
the same kind of paper that has been in use
for several centuries and is manufactured ex-
presseiy Tor them. No private individual is
allowed TO use official paper for any purpose
whatever. Ana quill pens are still the ordl-
nary instruments of literary labor in the ex-
ecutive departments, as they are in the uni
versities, the courts and the old-tashioned
lawyers offices.
