farms and also the acreage of farm
land have been steadily increasing, as
i'm recent years thousands of acres of
pasture land have been utilized for
growing sugar cane, and many marsh
es have been reclaimed for the Cultiva-
ton Of rice.
Some of the larger farms contain
great tracts of lava and other waste
lands, which were, as a rule, included
by the enumerators under the head Of
forest lands, as they could not proper
ly be Cassed either as improved land
on as pasture land. In making COM
parsons based upon the average land
values and productiveness of the differ
ent islands, account must be taken of
the fact that these waste lands consu-
tute a large percentage of the farm ac-
reage of some islands, while in others
they are very incOnsiderable in extent.
Consideration must be given, also, to
the relative areas of cheap grazing
lands, which are very extensive in
some islands and comparatively limit

fore we have no doubt of ultimate
triumph. The vote on the slavery
question was much smaller in 1852
than 1t had been in 1S4S, but the break
for liberty soon came after this great
falling off of our vote, and so believe
IL is today Many who at one time
were identified with us like some Of
Christ's disciples, became discouraged
and turned back, but nevertheless the
signs of the times indicate to us the
rapid growth in favor Of prohibition.

beverage purposes, and will not en-
ploy men who patronize the saloon
Our greatest statesmen see how our
politics are corrupted by the dictates
of the brewers and rum power in gen.

stood aloof from this agitation, as
they did on the slavery question, are
waking up and II this tide of public
sentiment keeps on 1t will not be long
until party favorable to the suppress
sion of the whole traffic throughout the
state and nation will come into ma

II makes no difference what the
name of such a party may be. whether
1t Is an old party or a new one, but
1t must be and 1t will be a great ma
tional political party opposed to all
forms of tax or license laws for the
liquor traffic, throughout the nation.
All other questions in politics are in
significant when compared to this mon
ster evil. The life and perpetuity of
the best government on earth demand
Of all patriotic citizens that they come
forward and vote against all tax and
license parties and vote only for such
party as will openly declare the "sa-
loon must CO."

TWO GREAT PAPERS.
(Akron Sunday Star.)

The Friday before Christmas, two
notable special editions Of neighbor-
hood papers were put out, that honor
ed their publishers and the commune
ties supporting such an enterprise.
The Canton Democrats industrial edi-
ton was a marked proof Of the prog
ress of that establishment under j. G.
Diedrick's management, and shows
what capital and skill can do for
building up a newspaper. The paper
was the best proof yet given, too, of
the way Canton is advancing in busi-
ness and population. In the case of
the Youngstown Telegram, it's second
annual shopping edition, coming
so close upon Its magnificent semi
centennial edition of over so of its
large pages, was remarkable illus
tration OF the resources OF the Tele-
gram establishment, Of the energy of
its managers and the liberality ,of
Youngstown in the support of its news
papers.

wAsiIINoTON, January 1. 1909.

WASHINGTON, January 4, 1909.
The presidents New Years reception
this morning, was one of the most
brilliant ever held at the white house.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt ap-
peared at the head of the stairs
promptly at IL o'clock, and descended
to the blue room amid blare OF trum-
pets from the Marine band.
The diplomatic corps, army and
navy, justices OF the supreme court
and members of congress were re-
ceived in turn, after which the general
public was admitted.
1t was the largest crowd that ever
attended white house reception on
New Years day. The line of people
in waiting stood in Pennsylvania ave-
nue. for hours, extending nearly half
a mile from the white house entrance.
The weather was very pleasant and the
crowd took the jostling good naturedly.
There was an absence of display of
police power. There were few officers,
though of course the civil service de-
tectives were present in force.
SETH LOW IN THE CHAIR.
New York. Jan. Father knicker-
booker awoke this morning 10 reali-
zation that New Years day meant more
to him than mere exchange of happy
greetings.
II was to be Tammany's last day in
power, for at noon the fusionists would
take possession of The city and the
tiger would return to his lair.
Forty thousand Office holders rubbed
their eyes and wondered how the
change would affect them.
Mayor-elect Seth Low assumed the
reins of the municipal government
promptly at noon, when all the cleo
tive officers under him were also
sworn In.
