dorsement of the short course in acri-
culture at the University of Tennessee,
favored the Appalachian Park bill. the
passage of a "no fence" and an effect
i've dog law, the establishment of a
State Board of Agriculture, compul-
sorry education, and substantial State
aid for the agricultural department of
the University of Tennessee. As it is
doubtful if some of the resolutions
could have been passed a year ago it
indicates that substantial progress is
being made along the right lines by
our farmers.
After the Convention adjourned a
visit was paid to the Experiment Sta
ton farm where the delegates had an
opportunity of examining the work be-
ing done on some 900 experimental
plats, of witnessing the dairy school
in practical operation, seeing the fine
dairy herd, and examining into the
methods of crop culture practiced on
the neat and well kept farm. The Wis
itors were highly delighted with What
they saw and found that the station
farm vas carrying on many lines of
investigation of great Importance and
utility to them. 1t was a red letter
day in the history of many of these
farmers as they had never seen any
thing of the kind before, and that
more than 600 of them took advantage
of the chance to examine the farm
showed that they were alive and wide
awake to their own interests.
1t is hoped from year to year to not
only increase the attendance, but to
make the meeting more useful and
helpful to the agriculture of Tennes-
see. 1t is proposed next year to give
more direct and especial attention to
the various live stock interests of the
State and to have present to lead the
discussions on these topics the very
best specialists in their respective
lines. As the result of the present
Convention the prospects for county
Institutes are much brighter than ever
before and these will have a material
influence in calling the usefulness of
such meetings to the attention of
hundreds of farmers who do not now
appreciate how much a farmers insti-
tute means to the progressive hus-
bandman.
Altogether, the Convention was ar
unqualified success in every sense of
the word. At least this was the uni
form expression of the visiting farm
ers and they ought to know. All were
delighted with the good time they had
and with ~what-they saw and learned
that would be of service to them as
farmers. Why should not hundreds of
other farmers be benefited in the same
way by taking a holiday and getting
out and seeing and learning about
what the other fellow is doing? Those
who attended we're not only benefited
for the time being, but they will be
encouraged and inspired for the work
of the whole year, and hundreds of
those who were present this year are
already looking forward with pleasant
anticipations to visiting Knoxville and
the University and the Convention a
year hence. Those who have not taken
advantage of its privileges should
ommence now to lay their plans for
the next meeting, as the East Tennes-
see Farmers Convention is one of the
greatest agricultural educational fac
tors that exists in the middle South.

The absconder has not happy time
of it. Sooner or later he gets run in.
The man recently here from Missouri
who had got off with funds from a Full
ton bank, was recognized by some one
who had known him before, and had
he not bolted on the Coptic he would
now be in Jail. But when he reaches
Yokohama he will only walk into the
hands of detectives The safest place
for the absconder is probably some
large city like New York or Chicago,
but then he must be an adept at dis
guise, and he has to live with his heart
in his mouth all the time. There are
OF course some out Of the way Pacific
Islands, but the average criminal does
not know how to reach them, and hay
ing reached them life is not worth liv-
ing upon them. The absconders life,
like the Policeman's in the Pirates Of
Penzance, is mot a happy one" Moral:
II is better to keep honest ON other
grounds than those of pure morality.

one of the committee of the Home
Rule party has been explaining tlRn
Beardslee matter, and trying to gloss
over the thorough slap in the face that
gentleman got. There was a "misun-
Outstanding about it, and the minority
had acted as they thought best" In
politics unless one is undoubted boss"
like Croker or Buckley or dozens of
others is not well to act independently,
because there are others who think
that they control, and resent the domi-
nation Of self constituted bosses. AS
for Mr.. Beardslee his position after get
ting the marble heart and CLASSY eye,
and still seeking political preferment
from the committee who turned him
down, is not very dignified one.

The storm which has been whirIing
around has struck every island i'm turn.
Reports from every district tell of
heavy rains and serious road damages.
Ia the days when we had no bridges
and forded our streams, while our
roads were simple bride paths, stormy
weather had no damaging effect save
suspendng the little traffic. Now a
storm means the destruction of roads
which it has cost thousands of dollars
to construct and the carrying away of
bridges put up at large expense. Some
of these days we viii learn how to build
roads so that they win stand, and erect
bridges at such a height that torrents
viii have no effect upon them. They do
this i'm other countries, and there is no
reason why-it should not be done here.
Ina this there is no reflection upon the
present superintendent of Public
Works who has inherited an evil sys-
tenn that it is well night impossible to
cope with. But a Legislature might
cope with the matter and lay out the
future so that our roads and bridges
might be the envy of less favored com
munities.

II'I q Us NIlf point w Ill'll IIItI n h'
quoted from the lecture which may be
lot special interest. and that is the ease
of violating the contract law from the
European side. Mr.. McSweeneys views
are thus reported in an Eastern pa
par:
Mr. McSweeney briefly discussed the
alien contract law, pointing out the
ease with which it can be violated and
is constantly violated by those whose
interests are to secure the cheap labor
of southeastern Europe. The most COM
mon method of eVading the law is by
the employment of padrones who live
here These send out to their agents
i'm Europe orders for the collection of
iabOreTs. These labOrers come to the
United States without any contract, not
knowing the place where they are to be
employed, or the name of their future
employer, As the proof that an immi-
grant is a contract labor depends al
most entirely upon his own cOnfessiOn
this method is successful. The labOrer
is taken i'm hand and carried to his des-
tinatiOn, delivered to the pardOne, who,
in turn, delivers him to his future en-
plOyer The immigrant is surrounded
almost from the moment of his arrival
with maIign influences which seek to
defraud and rob him.
This is not very hopeful view for
the European immigrant and accounts
for some of the strikes
