KING OF THEM ALL.
An Old Reliable Boston Resident SAYS

From The Boston Post.

When one has the word a reliable man and

about all our perplexities. Standing before
the public means making ones self willing

public and all it implies. We know that only

Mr.. Asa F. Croker is an old resident and
reliable citizen of Boston, residing at 1913
Washington street, Jamaica Plain. He is a
pleasant, large, heavy man. We will let him
speak for himself. He says: II have been

Condition OF American Farmers.

Secretary Morton treats of this sub
ject at some length In his annual re-
port. He declares that farmers are not
impoverished, that they are not men
dicants, that they are not respondent
and in suffering condition, that thew
are not wards of the government, to be
treated to annuities like the Indians
upon reservations. And yet he says
that in conventions and congresses
they are represented as in just this
condition. He protests against gov
eminent paternalism. He says:
Legislation can neither plow nor
plant. The intelligent, practical and
successful farmer needs no aid from the
government; the ignorant, impractical
and INDECENT farmer deserves none. 1t
is not the business of government TO
legislate in behalf of any class of citi-
zens no matter how essential their call
ing may be to the needs and comforts
of civilization. Lawmakers cannot
erase natural laws nor restrict or efface
the operation of economic law"
Secretary Morton's ideas as to the le-
Ultimate functions of governments
among men do not correspond with our
ideas exactly. No one ever claimed
that legislation could pillow or plant, but
no sane man will deny that legislation
can and does affect the results of plow-
ing and planting. A farmer may be
intelligent and practical without being
successful, and 1t may be the fault Of
unjust laws that discriminate against
him. No matter how intelligent and
practical he may be in the production
t;ola
portation laws are in force, for exam
Pile, he may be robbed of all his profit.
To say that the ignorant, impractical
and INDECENT farmer deserves no help,
is rather sweeping in cruelty of express
sion, to say the least. They deserve
the same government to protect and
aid that other classes do, and besides,
it is the duty of the state to do all it can
to make them intelligent, practical and
energetic citizens. This is in the in
terest of the state. 1t is exactly the
work that is done by farmers insti-
tutes, experiment stations, agricultural
colleges, and the Department Of Agri-
culture itself, to large extent. Leg
islation created all these agencies for
the improvement of farmers and hence,
necessarily, the advancement of agri-
culture. We cannot enlarge upon this
point, but will say, in brief, that gov
ernments should do for the people what
they cannot do for themselves as indi-
viduals, in the way of protection, edu-
cation and development. 1t is but JUS
tice to Mr.. Morton to say that he is con-
sistent with his entire record since he
became Secretary of Agriculture. In
his very first public utterance, if we
remember right, he declared that it was
not the business of his department to
educate the farmer.-Ohio Farmer.

BEET GROWERS
Organizing to Secure More Tariff OF

CHICAGO. March 24.-Congress will
in all probability be called on at an early
date by a committee representing the

asked to give some measure of protec-
ticn and encouragement to this new ana
profitable Industry. Nothing would
suit the western farmers, who have late
ly engaged in this form of agriculture.
better than the creation of a tariff of
not less than ~ cents a pound on all
sugars. and a reciprocal policy with
other sugar producing countries. This
is the opinion of C. H. Dietrich. presi-
dent Of the German National bank Of
Hastings, Neb., who is in this city en-
route home and is one of the most en-
thusiastic promoters of the sugar beet
industry.
Mr.. Dietrich points to, the fact that
more than one-half Of the worlds su
gar crop is now being produced from
beets as an indication of the tremendous
size of the industry and the right that
it has to demand consideration by the
government. He also notes that there
is not a single sugar producing country
in the world that has not been aided by
it's government in the development of
sugar beet industry.
The countries which have made special
advancement in this line are Germany,

A Mystery Solved

SANTA CRUZ, March A.-Recently. a
press dispatch appeared stating that
officers of Fresno county were investi-
eating case in the Cantaa creek re-
gipn, in which foul play was suspected.
An empty house had been found on a
ranch eight miles from any human habi-
tation, but the occupants had disap-
peared. Dishes were on table, covered
with dust, just as they had been left.
From papers found it was learned that
the ranch was owned by John Hanley.
The mystery has been cleared up, for
Hanley is engaged in the saloon busi-
ness here. He came here last July on
a camping trip, and liked the city so
we'll that he decided to locate here. He
says he left his house orr the ranch after
breakfast. AS he did not return to the
ranch his long absence had led to ru-
mors of foul play.

RAN OFF WITH A GIRL
AND EVADED SEARCH FOR
THIRTY YEARS
Lived Much Respected and Died Be-
fore Discovery, to His Sons
Great Disappointment

SAN DIEGO, March 24.-John L. Col
lier left today for his home in Belvidere,
Boone county, Ill, sorely disappointed
man. During thirty-three years of his
life he has been vainly searching for his
father, who left home in Belvidere in
February, 1864, and was not heard OF
again by his family until few weeks
ago, when the son learned that he was
located IN San Diego.
The fathers name was Wilfred w.
Collier, and he had resided here quar-
ter of a century, his last place of resi-
dence being 547 National avenue. He
died on January %. last.
John L. Collier, the son, who came
here only to find his father dead. tells
the following story: MY father was
prosperous at Belvidere up to 1868, but
my mother was an invalid l was the
eldest of three children. We had a SER
want named Viola Hambridge, and for
some unaccountable reason my father
then 40 years old, became infatuated
with her, and in 1863 they eloped and
came to California, but returned in
year. In 1864 they eioped' once more,
again coming to California and never
returned
Mother, sick beyond the help of med :
ioal assistance. bore up under it for thir-
teen years, dying in 1875. Her last words
to me were full OF faith in the husband
and father. and she told me never to
give up looking for him. He would
surely come home, she said. But, search
as l might, never trace of father could
be found until last New Years day"
Collier then related that on that day
he had learned from circus man who
had recently been in San Diego that the
runaway father was in this city. 0ol-
lier the youngeD satisfied himself that
this was the truth and then came here.
He found that his father had been dead
for several weeks. as related above.
The elder Collier was quite prosper
Gus during portion of the many years
of his residence here. He built the first
wharf, that at the foot of Fifth street.
and curing the boom he was supposed
to be worth considerable property. He.
and the woman with whom he left Bel
Videre lived here as man and wife and
were highly esteemed. They have
grown up children here who are re-
spected members of the community. l.
is thought that Mr. Collier left very little
property. He had decided away some
of his posse ss.ons some time before his
death. The son from Belvidere has re-
tanned City Attorney H. f. Doolittle
to look after his interests in the estata
