OBJECT LESSONS IN FARMING

1t was said in these columns yester-
day that before the immigration of
small" farmers was encouraged as
body distinct from laborers on plan
tations, the actual results of intelli-
gent farming should be exhibited in
stead of adding TO the deluge of yell
low literature on the enormous posi-
blities in farming in nearly every
part of the Mainland.
This yellow literature showing how
easy 1t Is for laboring man to get
rich by buying and cultivating land,
always carrying with II some little
truth. does not now deceive those who
are proposing to immigrate. The
most tempting offers made To the
farmers of the Middle States by the
land dealers of California do not now
attract immigrants, because their mis-
representations have been discovered.
But there is always steady immigra-
ton to places whore the object lesson
has been satisfactory, and the repre-
sensations proved up,
In dealing with the Colored man Of
the Southern States 1t was seen that
the idea was fixed in his mind that
farm OF twenty acres was the least
area that one man could cultivate with
profit. The white man, also, has the
larger idea that he must cultivate At
least one hundred acres in order TO
make a living No preaching can re-
move this idea No showing of stats
ties could do H. Twenty acres was
the summing up OF the negroes iudg-
ment, and that Judgment could not be
changed

time ago that nothing but object les

THE QUEENS ANNIVERSARY

They are not Kings who sit on
thrones, but they who know how to
govern"
For this reason the world calls Vic
toria a Queen because she learned how
to govern a democracy by making II
self-governing. For the crown she
wears is the crown kept on her brow
by the strong hand of democracy
which knows no written constitution,
or superior power, makes and unmakes
Cabinets, dictates policies, wars and
peace. The perfect accord of the EN-
press and Queen with this idea OF po-
Iitical rule. the absence from the be-
ginning of her reign of any attempt to
assume power, and the unusual exhibit
ton of the simple virtues in the most
conspicuous places upon the earth, Gre
ates the loyalty to her, which, today,
follows the sun around the world in a
shout Of respect and appreciation.
Even Brother Jonathan, not always
given TO polite ways, because Of his
rough pioneer life, for the first time in
the history Of the race, cordially takes
of his hat and says: Your Majesty
| do sincerely congratulate you upon
the splendor OF your reign and the gift
of moderation. wisdom and virtue you
have made to a great nation"
Twenty years ago the American poll
tician who dared to praise in public
the British Queen or approve of Brit
ish ways was howled at and called a
turnkey by the press. The lrishmen of
America marked for political death the
statesmen who saw and dared to speak
n civil word about the British Queen.
The school children were taught history
that was false. and the teachers nursed
inherited hatreds. And the Briton be-
lieved that the American put his heels
on the mantel piece and spit on the
floor.
Travel is the real eye opener. The
Atlantic liners are the international
schoolhouses. The American woman
is the apostle of social freedom and
equality to the English And above
all. the language is hook of steel
which holds the two branches of the
race to each other. This common IAN
guage has been very bad language at
times, and its reservoirs of profanity
have been well drawn more than once
by both parties. But the language
which Is common and never irritates is
that which expresses the personal lib
erty OF the Anglo-SaXon race, and the
right of every man to push the doc
trine of his own self-cxpansion with
out let or hndranCe.

been satisfactory. a map Of this small
farm. the story Of its products and its
net profit presented to the farmers OF
the Western States, meeting at Oma-
Ia. would take our case out of the
miserable booming business which
has caused more sorrow to women and
misery to men in America than war or
pestilence.
We must get beyond the Col. Sell
ers age" We can well afford to make
handsome exhibit at Omaha, but we
cannot afford to mislead any person.
We have already had one exhibit there,
and, so far as it is known, there were
not results from IL beyond that of Sc
| curing the admiration of vast null
| titude of people in America for our
climate and exhibits.
The report made to the Chamber of
| Commerce last week, states that the
| Omaha Exhibition is the place for the
farming and labor question to be work
ed out to the best advantage TO these
Islands" why was nothing worked
out by the last Exposition?
The city authorities Of Lincoln, Ne
braska, the capital of the State, have
for several years published In the best
magazines OF the country, the advan-
tages of living in or near to that
city. The representations are conserv-
alive. and. If true, any farmer who
abandons that State, with such oppor-
tunities before him, Is a fool. The
prices of land and of produce. the num-
Der and character of the schools and
colleges and libraries are given. and
| the outlook Is most attractive.
How can Hawaii compete with these
| tempting offers made in the very heart
of the great republican empire. with
| its bOundless area of soil to be had for
the asking? Only by creating a con-
dition OF things which on a careful
and exhaustive test. will make the
farmer more prosperous here than
there. In seeking for immigration

The contribution to the Omaha EN-

because 1t shows that we have IA pro-

most carefully managed.
| II is Il pity that neither member OF
the Government, or private citizen, or

ands that has paid continuously and

THE kAHUku CASES.

The disposition of the cases against
the Japanese charged with capital Of
lenses at Kahuku should be consid-
cred satisfactory from our own racial
standpoint. The Chinese may, how
ever. not understand why one man
should be condemned to death, while
others. including the ringlcairr,
equally guilty, in all probability.
should escape that awful penalty.
They do not understand our ways of
doing justice, which requires evidence
of crime beyond all reasonable doubt,

many OF our own race the prisoners

THE HAWAIIAN EXHIBIT AT
OMAHA.

The project Of exhibiting the prod
ucts of Hawaii at the Greater Ameri-
can Exposition to be held at Omaha
during the year, Is an excellent one,
zens of the Mainland our natural !e-
sources. and gives them proof that an
nexation has not added a sterile terri
tory to the national area. But We are
now in position to deal very honest
ly with our fellow citizens, and mis-
leading exhibitions and statements
should not be made. II Is neither
honest nor polite to attract immigra-
ton by any misrepresentation of facts.
What success may be had here by the
small farmers, aside from mere labor
crs on plantations has not yet been
settled. II is neither fair nor honest
to suppress information about the diff
ficulties OF developing our small indus
tries. at a time when we are depending
largely upon the Mainland for vegeta-
bles. hay, grain, fruits of several
kinds, butter, poultry, and even meats.
An exhibition of our products carries
with it the presumption that they are
raised here with profit. and 1t is an in
vitation To immigrants to share in that

WHOLESALE CORRUPTION.

The Attorney-Gcneral of Delaware
has issued a summons requiring the
entire membership of the Delaware
Legislature to appear before the Grand
Jury at Dover, the capital of the State,
and give evidence about certain meas
ures passed during the last session, and
also concerning alleged briberies in
the voting for L. $. Senator.
Until recently the politicians of
Delaware were classed among the
hayseeds. and State legislation was
carried on with rural innocence. Brib-
cry was utterly unknown. It's states
men were men of high character. The
tides Of political corruption overlooked
the neighhOring States of Pennsylya-
mia and New Jersey, but they struck
the rocks Of political honesty in Della
ware, and fell back. Ten years ago
the word doodle" was not in the Del
aware dictionary. Years before, one Of
its Senators, Salisbury, would get
drunk while on duty in the Federal
Senate. and he would relate anecdotes

intelligent honest, and gentleman.
Then one Addicks came, and he

and Democrats alike so far as he

Jersey for political degeneracy. The

crops. 1t undertakes to show that
this four-acre farm will produce crops
sufficient to furnish moderate-sized
family with vegetables the year
through, produce the coarse fodder and
part of the grain for at least one horse,
one COW, and one or two pigs, and
some poultry, and possibly have some
thing left to SELL"
The result of the last years expert
ment is profit of $l5S.S7. This
amount obtained from four acres is
seldom equaled by the profits of the
farms in the South covering from fifty
to two hundred acres each. But 1t
must be said that the value of the
this small farming experiment has not
been estimated II is the purpose of
| the school, however, to educate the ne
gro students SO that they become in
structors throughout the South in
small farming. II is conceded that in
struction will be useless unless this
four-acre farm is in operation wher-
ever the teacher is settled. Neither
the white or colored man will believe
until he. with his own hands, handles
the produce. That four acres may
make better return than twenty is to
these men an absurd proposition. The
writer once stated in an agricultural
convention of white Southern farmers
the well-known fact that the French
farmers are the richest in the world,
and that the average size of French
farms is three and one-half acres. The
president of the convention said pri-
vately: Il know that Is the truth, but
not one of our farmers believe it. and
you could not make them believe ii
unless you put them on these French
farms for a year or two
| Although few not expensive ex-
periments made at the time the
Americans assumed control here in
1898, would now serve as object les
sons in dealing with immigration, an |
perhaps would now remove some of
our difficulties in obtaining the right
bone and sinew" for the land. 1t Is
not too late to undertake it now. And
il must be done if we propose to make
our grand proclamation of the profits
of our soil anything better than the
usual yellow literature of the Main
land 1t was urged several years ago
that the profits of coffee cultivation
would be at least $3.50 per acre, and
the man who denied 1t was denounced
as pessimist and traitor" There
had been no demonstration of the
fact. Why not? Because it was easier
to boom the land on prophecies than
to evolve the facts by a slow and la.
borious process.
We do not wish a lot of intelligent
worthy immigrants TO be landed on
our soil and then left to root, hog, oi
die" 1t does not pay. We surely
need the immigrants, but those VIII
are desirable ask for demonstrations
not prophecies.

RELIGION IL NEW ENGLAND.

We do not doubt, says The Watch
man (Bapt.) OF Boston, that there Is
great deal of truth in what Governor
Rollins of New Hampshire says about
the decline of religion in his state,
and what he says about New Ilamp-
| shire might be extended to embrace
the entire country. But, while such
statements are measurably true, II is
also right to say that probably there
never was time in the history of the
country when infidelity was so small
a factor in the life Of the people as 1t
Is today. II is rather difficult to find
an out-and-out unbelieyer in Chris
tianity among the descendants of the
American stock, which still form the
backbone of the population Of such
States as New Hampshire. Our people
generally believe in God, in the re-
wards of righteousness and the penal
ties of sin, in the divinity if not the
deity OF Christ, and in the outstanding
| features of the Christian revelation.
There is a vast number of those who
are believers in this large and general
| ards-and are not connected with the
form their lives to the Christian stand
| ards-and are not CONNECTED with the
| Christian churches. Indeed. many of
them are only occasional attendants.
Various influences have contributed to
| bring about this state Of things. The
| churches themselves have not always
been true to the highest ethical stand
ards. Sometimes in prescribing doc
trinal tests they have been so narrow
and intolerant as to travesty the
breadth and freedom of the New Tes-
lament Ministers too often have been
out of sympathy with the life and
needs of the time.
The Waterman is one of the leading
religious papers in New England. and
It takes conservative views on all re-
| ligious questions. When 1t declares
that there never was a time in the
history of the country when infidelity

that infldelity is no longer "A social Of
Tense. Not thirty years ago, the repu-
tation of being an "infidel" excluded "A
man from the best social life, and
made him an object of contempt The
| change of attitude toward infidclS is
| not due to any decline in religion, but
rather to Il wiser and more critical
view of mans divine relations. Thirty
years ago he who refused TO believe in
eternal punishment was branded as
an "infidel.' Today few of the ortho-
doX believe in II.
There is more faith in honest
doubts. believe me. than in half the
creeds." 1t is iniidelity in the dead
letter of religion over which the theo-
logians have been bordering for centu'
rics that now breeds want of faith
As that dead letter drops away into
the dust, the living spirit of religion
freed from its charnel house, arises
new born of heaven. and with new
healing under its wings"

hills of New Hampshire and said that
