IT looks very foolish to send a
man to congress only long enough
to learn his duties and work his
way into a position to be of benefit
to his constituents and then retire
him for some one who has had no
experience at all. A great many
people are getting tired of such ex-
perimcnts. Mr.. Vandiver has made
the people an honest, intelligent,
sober and industrious representa-
tive. His ability is recognized and
acknowledged, at home and abroad.
1t would be poor politics, poor
economy and perfectly useless ex
pertinent for the party to turn him
down and ifcoming events cast their
shadows before, nothing of the kind
will be done.

Why The Farmer Boy Leaves home.

why The Farmer Boy Leaves home.
There are few conventions held
by farmers where the question CT
how to Keep the boy on the farm
is not discussed. Various methods
are suggested, but all seem to fall
short of the point. Some say, "give
the boy horse to raise or some
other animal that he can call his
own Another says, "Give him
a part interest IN the farm, or, at
least ten acre lot upon which he
can devote his energies" StIll an
other says, "Make the farm beauti-
tul; plant trees and raise flowers;
keep horse and buggy for his use,
and get him mixed up with the
social life OF the communlty.'
The writer Of this article does
not believe that any or all of these
methods will keep the boy on the
farm. The boys are ready enough
to stay on the farm if they can see
some way to make fair amount of
money there. Poverty drives the
boys from the farm, and it will con.
tinue to do so. The ordinary farm
makes great deal less money to.
day than it did decade ago. Pop
ulation must shift according to the
shifting volume oftrade. If to-day
the prices OF our staple products
advanced to what they were ten
years ago there would pe u move
ment fl ON the cities towards the
farms ofthe farmer boys Of the past.
For good many years the average
tradesman has been making more
money than the farmer, and the
farmer boy has had to follow the
current.
The farmer boy at home follows
the course marked GU: by nature.
At II suitable age he falls in love,
and has to consider the possibility
of making bone for the woman

possible to supporta wife and iami.

The New York Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin
says that Ga disposition to push
consideration of the shipping sub
sidy bill is being shown by its pro-
moters and by the Republican
majority of the committees in both
houses having charge Of the sub,
ject.' Washington correspondents
Of other papers are writing to the
same effect. 1t appears, therefore,
that the subsidy schemers are pre-
pairing for their final charge and
that the bill is likely to be prompt,
ly reported and pushed for final
passage. The iniquitous measure
is devised to put hundreds of million
of dollars into the pockets of ship
owners who are already competing
successfully with the shipping ofall
other nations. A subsidy to en-,
courage ship.bulding in this country
is no more necessary than is pro-
lection in manufactures to foster
native industries. We claim to be
able to produce cheaper than any
other nation on earth, and yet the
Republican party burden the people
with heavy taxes on imports, which
taxes are entirely unnecessary. 1t
is just the same with the shipping
interests; it is we'll able to take

Easter Openings.

The annual Easter openings are being
held this week and next and are, as last
wear. very attractive. That flowers are
to prevail in trimmings again seems as
sured and ribbons are to be used extern
sively.
The Brooks-Tyler Company held an
opening of trimmed hats Monday, many
attending who were much pleased with
the new patterns. This firm closed out
their stock of millinery goods during the
winter and during the summer will do no
trimming but will have trimmed hats
for sale the entire season. The shapes
and trimmings..are not noticeably differ
emit from last year. Ribbons, flowers,
chiffon and fancy straws are used.
Bright colors and entire black effects are
both popular. Among the newest things
are small hats of fancy straw IN white
or colors made up in combination with
chiffon folds and draping to match the
straw.
Mrs. E. c. Carpenters store was
most Hastily trimmed WITH pedutHui
pattern hats and bonnets for her annual
opening yesterday and today. Delicate
ly shaded foliage surrounded the mirror
and the vari-colored ribbons, flowers,
fruit and chiffon made the many custom
ers forget for the time the chill breezes
and snowy hillsides. Most OF the hats
are large and heavily draped with fancy
braids and straws, and with chiffon and
ribbon. Some are made up entirely of
straw and tucked chiffon with dainty
touch of black velvet here and there add
ing character to an otherw quiet style.
Walking hats, toques, narrow trimmed
small hats and styles to satisfy any and
all tastes were displayed. Tuscan laces
and braids are among the newest, dain-
test and most expensive trimmings.
Pretty shapes covered with fancy straws
and trimmed with bows of pastel shades
attract observers Of the beautiful. Mrs.
Carpenter goes to New York again in
about four weeks and will then have
summer styles and large variety of
white and leghorn hats.

ACTIVITY or INSURGENTS
Causing Considerable trouble For Americans
In MANY Portions Of the Philippines.

Manila, April10.-Reports of encounters
| between the American troops and the in
SUI gents continue to arrive from many
points. On Friday Captain Sturgis
! while accommodating, struck an lnsur-
gent outpost on the Novaliches road, fiVe
miles distant from Manila, killing two
and capturing 10 men. All were in tuil
uniform. Captain Sturgls' force was not
large enough to pursue the main body.
Lieutenant Gordon, with a company OF
the Sixteenth infantry, while scouting
near Apart, Cagayan province, engaged
$50 insurgents. Lieutenant Gordon was
wounded. A sergeant and corporal or
company l, Eighteenth infantry, were
killed in a severe fight in Capiz province
island of Panay.
The insurgents made a night attack
upon Calbayon, island of Samar. They
killed the sentry swarmed into the town
and searched the house of Major Gill
more of the Forty-third infantry, VINO
was absent They killed his cook. Jill
mately the Americans drove them out of
the town, killing four and capturing H.
General Young, commanding in north
Luzon, has made several requests Tor
reinforcements, representing that MS
force is inadequate. He says that the
men are exhausted by the necessity OF
constant vigilance that he is unable to
garrison the towns in his Jurisdiction;
that the insurgents are returning to the
district and killing the amigos, and that
1t is necessary for him to infiict punish
ment in several sections before the rainy
season begins.
General James Bell, who is in COM
mand in southern Luzon, has made SINH
lar representations. He says his forces
are inadequate, and that he merely holds
a few towns, without controlling the |
territory.
The president of the town of Samal, |
province of Bataar, Luzon, and other |
prominent natives have been assassin |
ated because they were known to be
friendly to the Americans.
The president of another town has
Joined the insurgents because they had
threatened to kill him If he did not.

Fall River, Mass April 1O.-The di-
rectors Of the Hargraves and Parker
mills of this city have issued a circular
proposing the combination of the two
corporations into one, with a total cap
italizaton of $1,69OOOO. The capital
stock of the mills is 100000 each. The
Hargraves has 10000 and the Parker 49,
900 'spindes, and the stock Of both cor
porations is above par, about $110 per
share. 1t Is quite probable that the
proposition for consolidation of interests
will be favorably looked upon by the
stockholders at the next meeting.
