west Mounted Police, superb body OF
men. In this country everything, ex-
cept martial law be proclaimed. is left
to the local authorities, who are nat
urally not very likely to be efficient
in a new and raw community. In the
southern states we have, of course, the
undeniable crimes by and against ne
groes, which can, not be explained
away
But it is to the inhabitants of such
states as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska that
the Canadians look for most of their
settlers. In those states order is as
we'll preserved and life and property
are as secure as even when the mount
ed police are supreme. In fact, now,
turnout the whole of the United
States. excepting some of the south

a serious one-even in distant Nome

rule, that interests us. Recently there

province than is an OCCASIONAL murder

is not good city to live in.
For the Canadians to continue to
talk about their superior administra-
tion of justice does them no god, for
the American farmer knows what a
full measure of protection he enjoys,
and it merely serves to keep alive al
unjust generalization.

Ten to One.
louisville Post.1

What the democratic party needs is
new issue in new ratio.
Thank Gawd," it has been found.
Democratic leaders have discovered
that the deaths in the Philippines have
been ten natives to one American.
This is denounced as sheer slaughter.
Most of us would attribute it to the
better Workmanship of the Americans,
and their better guns, but the enemies
of the American army and the Ameri-
can people insist that it is bloody
slaughter.
The democrats ought to put this is
sue in their platform in this way:
Resolved, That we view with alarm
the slaughter of ten Filipinos to one
American, and we pledge ourselves to
reverse this ratio without the consent
of any other nation
Some cold statisticians insist that IL
we credit the account with the natives
whose lives have been saved by i'm
proved conditions the ratio would in
fact be reversed, but our democratic
friends do not intend to take in the
whole situation; they wish to fix pub
lie attention on the CHASTITY ratio Of ten
to one.

A NEW DEAL IN TELEPHONES.

There is lesson for farmers every
where In the telephone merger effected
in Greene county, where company
has been formed and capitalized at
( 100000. The farmers and business
men Joined hands with the promoters
in q complete reorganization of the
mutual systems and private lines into
a county service with central switch
board at the county seat. The ar
rangement makes it possible for the
farmers to talk with any business man
In any town in the county, or to any
farmer who has membership in the
company by purchase Of stock or
rental. No extra cost is attached tic
the extended service beyond the rental
OF phone at fifteen dollars yearly, or
the purchase of $106 worth of stock
paying 10 per cent annual dividend
in service.
The advantages of this, or similar
system, are SO obvious as to render
explanation or argument unnecessary
It puts the farmer into instant com
munication with nearly every local
market available to him. 1t brings the
merchants of every nearby town into
competition for his hogs his butter
and produce of all kinds and effectu-
ally reverses the relative positions of
the farmer and the merchant or stock
buyer.
This county system is certain to
bring about quasi organization
among farmers that will make itself
felt not only in trade but in politics. II
will become impossible to carry coun-
try precincts by Misrepresentation or
defeat in detail proposition favored
by farmers. On questions of import to
the agriculturalists, ease of commune

HERE'S A PRETTY SCHEME.

In the midst of all the chaos sur
rounding the Cuban bill one solution
has been suggested that the people OF
this country ought to fight to the end
With the Oxnard beet sugar trust pull
| ing for high tariff on raw sugar and
the Havem,eyer trust demanding tariffs
proposed that both interests be pro-
tected and that the president be au-
ba to pay back into the Cuban treasury
a sum of money equal to the tariffs col
lected from Cuban imports into the
United States. In effect this would not
only fail to reduce the burdens of high
food prices now resting upon the Amer
|ican people but would virtually add to
their taxes for the reason that money
thus taker from the national treasury
must be replaced from other taxes. This
is a pretty scheme! AT a time when
the public is alarmed at the extruordi-
nary advance in the price of all food
products a method of relief for the par
alyzed industry of Cuba is proposed
that will increase the tax burden in this
country, when the only excuse for such
a scheme is that other alternatives are
opposed by the beet sugar millionaires
or the Havemeyer sugar trust. If re-
publicans should be guilty of such a
piece of legislation they would be most
severely punished in the fall elections
and their reward would be richly de-
served.

Had Cards for Prince Henry.

After Prince Henry had landed from
the Kronprinz Wilhelm and re-estab-
lished himself and his suite on the Ho-
/ henzollern large guard of special Off
GERS watched every entrance to the
Thirty fourth street pier and every
visitor was stopped, every suspicious
person questioned. So when a meek
little man approached with small
parcel under his arm he was at once
pounced upon. He came from the
Kronprinz Wilhelm, and had proper
credentials to get aboard the royal
yacht all right, but what had he in that
parcel?
The little man was independent.
What business is it of yours what |

AS the paper wrappers fell aside a

every pack were the arms of the prince,

private stock, and were being sent to

AN INCENTIVE 70 ROAD BUILDING.

Recognizing the indubitable fact that
an efficient rural mail delivery is im-
possible without good roads. and III
view of the petitions pending for the
establishment OF this service in CAL
houn county. its board of supervisors
& last week passed this resolution: on
behalf of the farmers and citizens in
terested the board of supervisors OF
i Calhoun county in the regular April.
1902, session do hereby declare that so
far as the laws of Iowa give authority
and the public revenues levied for that
purpose will permit due diligence will
be used to improve defective roads that
! they may be passable at all seasons of
!. the year, and thus guarantee the best
possible results from the rural free de-
livery service when established in CAL
houn county" The county boards OF
Emmett. Delaware, Buchanan. Benton
and number of other counties have
passed similar resolutions.
Thus it will be seen that the rural
mai routes, besides their incalculable
value to the ruralist as a connection
with the news and business of the out
side world. is doing for road improve
ment all it's advocates predicted in this
direction. 1t has brought the necessity
Of a road passable every day in the year
home to the farmer and fairly forced
an incentive to action upon him. He
must keep up respectable highway or
lose his mail service, and he chooses
the least of the two evils. He keeps up
his roads. Heretofore he has not only
neglected these thoroughfares but has
refused to think deeply along lines of
road Improvement. Now under the
spur of desire for free mall delivery
he is casting about for the best and
cheapest methods to use In construc-
tion of permanent highways. Bicycle
clubs and good roads associations have
been effective to degree, but the gov
'ernment holds the true solution of the
question of the country road problem
In the rural free mail delivery system.
Rigid insistence by inspectors on the
road conditions legally necessary to the
establishment of mail routes will re-
suit in excellent roads within the nexI
decade.

LawIessness a Bosie.
Minneapolis Journal.l

| one or the arguments in use by
/ Canadian immigration officials, who
are doing their best to attract settlers
| TO the broad prairies of their west, is
that Canada is pye- eminently land
of law and order, and the possible set
tier is pretty broadly given to under
stand that the chances for preserving
T life and property In the Canadian west
are much better than across the line.
From some of these arguments one
might infer that the whole of the
United States was a region in which
the criminal law had broken down,
where anarchy reigned and whence the
people were fleeing in fear of violence.
The same conception of civil disorder
in the United States exists In England.
An Englishmen now residing in Min
neapolis says that when he left Eng
land he was compelled at first to set
tie in Canada thru the fears of his
wife, who was certain that, being a
man of quick temper, he would soon
be shot in such disorderly country
as the United States.
After some years of residence in the
United States the wife has lost some
what of her absurd notions.
The foundation for this exaggerated
claim by the Canadian is to be found
in the admittedly superior manner IN
which in mining communities and new
regions the Canadians have preserved
the peace. In the United States a
period of disorder and a reign of crime
have been accepted as the inevitable
concomitants of new mining COM
munity. In Canada splendid order has
been preserved in the newest and most
distant regions. This difference Is due
to the fact that in the newest regions
the Dominion government takes upon
itself the duty of preserving order and
utilities for that purpose the North
