The newspapers dre again warning
farmers about the costly prairie lire
and the necessity of using every ore
caution to prevent it. Also a5o1t
putting in n less number of acres OF
wheaton rather conining the wheat
acreage TO the b2st groun d, and only
to such an extent rs can be put IN
well, at the proper time. Perhaps
the farmers smile at this advice, bat
there is merit in it after all. The
carelessness OF many farmer, is pro
verbal. They know their property
should be carefully guarded against
fire, but if they escape fire few years,
think there is little danger. They
also know that a crop should only
be put in on the best ground and at
the proper time. But the tempta-
tion of wheat speculation is strong
it brings quick, easy money, if sue
cessful, prices may be high, etc. All
OF which is true, but when the crop
is poor, and prices are low, the ex-
elusive wheat farmer goes broke.
The chances are against success in
wheat farming-exclusive wheat
farming, We mean. A man may
make big thing one year, and lose
i've years. While the man " ho has
carefully confined himself to a small
er crop gets better returns regularly,
and then mixes with stock, dairying,
poultry, ETC., slowly, but surely
forges ahead, builds up himse!! and
his country So after all, this news
paper advice, as it may be called, is
not merely some EDITORS opinion,
but is actual history, and more often
than otherwise, it is told to the sws-
paper man by some good, practical
farmers for the purpose of having it
read by other farmers for their own
benefit. And it is no intimation that
farmers do not know their business.
They do. Go to 80 farms out of 100
in the crop season and the farmer
will show you his good crop, put in
at the right time, on first class
ground. Too often he has ''some
overthere not so good, put in late,
on poor ground'-which is usually a
waste of seed, time and labor-cuts
down his returns, discourages hIaI,
and lessons the value OF his lani,

sion policy OF President Grant. He
sal I that the expansionists oftoday
are a generation behind Grant, who
wanted to buy Cuba and annex San
Domingo. At that time Grants
plans were hooted at, and his meas
ures voted down in Congress. He
yielded gracefully with the remark
that he had no policy to enforce
against the will Of the people, but
that he believed in time the people
would come to his position. The
bishop pointed out that we of today
have come to understand the mis-
take then made, and that the in
stinct OF the great soldier was right
and the people were wrong.
Nothing that Bishop Fowler said
of General Grant shed more light or
the character of the "silent comman-
der" than this reference to his ex
pansion policy. The bishop might
have gone further and have called
attention to the fact that Genera
G rant was the first OF our President
to enunciate vigorous and distinc-
lively American policy rs to the
Nicaragua canal. His position or
the annexation Of San Domingo, the
purchase OF Cuba, and the control o
the Samoan islands showed that III
had as keen q realization OF the bene-
fits that were to come to us through
"a world policy as the advocates Q
expansion today. Had Genera
Grants recommendations rs to Sal
Domingo, Cuba, Samoa, and tn
Nicaragua canal been adopte' W
would now be far into the new er;
instead of at the door. To the YER
last General Grant believed that hi!
| canal policy, his San Domingo anC
Samoan policy was right, and tn
people of today have given him
vote of confidence. Chicago lnte

The history of the human race is
"expansion'-from way beyond the
primitive days ofthe pilgrim landing
to the present day when all parts oil
the babitable world are connected
by steam and electricity. Suppose
the race had ceased expanding loo
or 500 years ago merely because
some people of that age and that
day we're satisfied with the then eX-
istipg conditions, Expansion, In It's
broadest sense, is the destiny OF tie
human race.
