Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
1 was much interested in your edi-
torial in this weeks paper, GLOW to
help your neighborhood." It is the
good fortune of our n~eighborhood
to enjoy most of the advantages
which you mention. We have rural
delivery, a good school building, a
library for the same, and good roads,
but we have not the telephone and
farmers club. The two last-men-
toned advantages, l would like to
see discussed in your valuable paper.
The only telephone in our section
is the Bell, and it is too expensive
for the ordinary farmer. We once
had a strong Sub Alliance, but I
doubt if it could be reorganized un-
der the NAME. The rural delivery is
highly appreciated by our neighbor-
hood.
Crops are about three weeks late,
and are suffering now for rain.
Millers report wheat poor in quaint
ity and quality.

George Washington was an active
member of the first society for pro-
noting agriculture organized in the
United States, in 1885 at Philadel-
phia. In his message to Congress ten
years later he said, in pleading for a
National Board of Agriculture:
Zone of the functions of such a
board is to encourage and assist a
spirit of discovery and improvement
\ n \ by stimulating enterprise
and experiment"
Herein lies the kernel of the Gov
eminent Experiment Station idea,
but it was not until 1887, over a
century later, that the Hatch Elk
pertinent Station Bill became a law.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor ofThe progressive FARMER:
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow has been summoned
to Oyster Bay and has had a con-
ference with the President. When
Mr.. Bristow returned to Washing
ton he declined to discuss his visit
with the newspaper men, and the re-
suit was numerous stories as to it's
object, most of them purely falla-
cious. Your correspondent is in a
position to say that the President
did not indicate a desire to have
former First Assistant Perry Heath,
or any other official, shielded from
the legal consequences of his own
acts. He told Mr.. Bristow to pursue
the investigation to the end without
fear or favor. The President is be-
ing criticised for his retention of
Payne in his Cabinet, but aside from
that the partisan press finds no
ground for complaint. Postmaster
General Payne has been away from
Washington for a number of weeks,
cruising along the New England
coast in a evenu cutter, which is
the occasion of severe criticism of
the Postmaster General, in some
quarters.
SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The prediction made in these let
tiers last March, that the President
would call Congress in special SEES
sion on November 8, to complete the
ratification of the Cuban treaty has
received positive confirmation in the
shape of an authorized statement
made by Senator Lodge at Oyster
Bay after a long discussion with the
President. Contrary to reports cir
culated in some quarters, this spe-
cial session is to be called primarily
for the passage of an enabling act
by which the Cuban treaty will be
put in force. That, if the Presi-
dents wishes are respected, must be
disposed of before the consideration
of any other important business, but
Senator Lodge also adds that the
President hopes there will be time
for the consideration of needed
financial legislation.

THE MENACE OF UNDESIRABLE
IMMIGRATION.


There are two subjects which the
President is discussing very earnest
ly with callers at Oyster Bay this
summer, so earnestly that it is safe
to predict that both will receive spe-
cial notice in his annual message to
Congress. One is the revision of the
public land laws; the other is the
subject of immigration. Nearly a
million aliens came to the United
States last year and generally speak
ing they were of the least desirable
classes. Attention has also been
called to the fact that this class of
immigrants does not go west, where
it is desirable to settle up the
try and where employment at good
wages is easy to secure, but remains
in the big cities crowding the slums
and breeding anarchy, discomfort
and disease. New York alone assim-
Hated 80 per cent of last years i'm
migration, and but ID per cent went
west of the Mississippi. An earnest
attempt was made at the last session
of Congress, by Senator Lodge and
other leaders, to secure an educa-

last week was a very searching one, so
far as viola tons of the election laws we're
concerned Nearly one hundred witnesses
had been summoned and the most Of

to the State and county, and resulted in
practically nothing. Two presentments
were made against men who on election
day gave two men a social drink of liquor.

Radium and the Evolution of Matter.

At Prof. Rucherford's recent address
on radio-activity, before the physical
Society in London he said the amount
Of energy given out by radium was
enormous; lit might be calculated that
gramme of radium during it's life
would give out enough to raise 500
tons a mile But there was no reason
why such huge stores should be
thought to exist only in radioactive
bodies; they might exist in every atom,
although we had not yet happened to
obtain any knowledge of their exist
ence." In the discussion which fol-
lowed Sir Oliver Lodge said that in the
phenomena of radium the evolution
Of matter seemed to be going on be-
fore our eyes, it looked as If these
atoms being too unstable to persist,
collapsed and threw away bits of them
selves. This instability of the
atom was just what ought to result
on the hypothesis-he might say the
certainty-that an atom had electrons
revolving round it, and that all its
parts were in a state of commotion."

THE OLDEST STEAMBOAT LINE.
owned BY One Family Continuously
Since 1917

The oldest passenger and transpor-
tation steamboat line in the world is
the Weems line Of Baltimore, which
has had an uninterrupted history
since 1917, carrying goods and pas
sengers to the Rappahannock, Poto-
mac and Patuxent rivers. Singularly
enough, it has never been out of the
hands Of the family that founded it.
In the earlier vessels the smokestacks
rested upon brick walls. Another
famous line is the Old Dominion,
founded in 1867, known as the bonded
route" between New York and every
where South by water and rail. The
company was originally New York
corporation, which in 1875 was taken
over by the present institution, char
tered in Delaware. 1t is the policy Of
the Old Dominion now to christen its
new vessels after illustrious states
men. It's finest ships are the Jeffer-
son and Hamilton. The Monroe Is
soon to be completed at Newport
News.-Denver Republican.
