STILL LEAVING THE FARM.
Serious Comment on an Exaggerated
Statement.
Minneapolis Times.

minneapolis T1mes.
From Nebraska and Kansas comes the
wall that the boys who are reared on the
farm won't stay there and the boys who
live elsewhere will not work on the farm
stipend OF $50 to $25 a month, with board.
Sundays of and the use Of a horse and
buggy with the possibility Of charming COM
panionship In the person OF a rich farmers
daughter, fails to tempt boys to the farm
1t Is alleged that rural free delivery has
had something to do with this because by
making daily papers visitors to the farm
1t has caused the boys to be seized with a
yearning to enjoy the metropolitan expert
ences described in those papers The troll
ley line and the telephone also have had
something TO do with It, they say. This
is a direct contradiction OF what VIC have
been taught. Philosophers have told us
that the advantages above named would
make country life so much like metropoli-
tan existence as to cause the country boy
to be more contented with his lot.
What's to be done? Shall the trolley
line be stopped at the city limits, the tele-
phone at the same place and rural free
delivery abolished at once? II is possible,
however, that the theorists are all wrong.
There Is good deal OF railway building,
fair demand for husky young men In the
cities at good wages, visible increase In
the number Of avenues Of employment for
young men. 1t is not a case OF telephone,
free delivery and trolley car, but one OF
supply and demand. When times get
little dull in town and along the right Of
way the boys will come back, This COM
plant, by the way, has been heard for
many years, but the greater part OF the
arabic land seems to be we'll cultivated.

South Omaha school bill with the pro

inconceivable. The two measures are
as much at variance as are the two
characters Of Van Dusen in his favorite

disinterestedness in trying to force the
police commission amendment upon
South Omaha is at par with his un-
selfish effort two years ago to pull

Even some liberals in the British Parlia-
ment seem to approve the enormous out
lay Of s179 9,1S4,205 upon the navy in the
fiscal year 19OS-4, though few approve the
expenditure of $4,000 900 year on the
army. What is remarkable in the situa-
tion 10 the eagerness of the British people
for an increase in the navy in spite Of the
high taxes 1t entails. There will, after
April next, be seventy-one warships un-
der construction, including eleven battle
ships and nineteen armored cruisers al
most equal to battleships in strength. This
year six battleships and eleven armored
cruisers will be completed. A new feature
of the navy list is the Scout" a class
which is to be marked by extraordinary
speed rather than fghting power. Sub
marines are being built in increased num-
bers. The secret of the feverish activity
in the British navy is the keener apprecia-
tion BY the masses OF the fact that the navy
is not only the first line Of defense of the
United Kingdom, but the second line also
and the third. If control Of the sea s'lost

BRIDGE CONTRACT NO cor
Finance Department Gives Lawyers Time
TO Fight II and Won't Approve Dond.

The efforts which are being made TO
prevent the awarding OF the contract for
the steel superstr,icture of the Blackwc,.'s
Island bridge until Tammany takes charge
of the citys affairs seem likely to succeed
When Commissioner Lindenihal gave the
contract, on Monday. to the Pennsylvania
Steel Company and Justice Clarke of the
Supreme Court intimated on the following
day, when an Application was made 10
him Tor an injunction, that there was moth
ing to restrain, in ismuch as the contract
had already been awarded. ii was thought
that that was the end of the matter.
But yesterday the Finance Department
came to the aid Of Sanborn. the Flushing
taxpayer who is the plaintif in the pro-
ceedings against Commissioner I.nde nthal
Representatives of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company submitted to the Finance Depart
ment the bond OF the United States Fidelity
and Trust Company for the proper fulfill
ment of it's contract. Deputy Comptroller
Stevenson. who is in charge of the depart
ment while Mr.. Grout is away, refused to
approve the surety. He explained that
Gen. G. w. Wingate, who Is associated with
II. &. NJ. Ingram, counsel for Sanborn,
Flushing, had requested that the
Comptroller withhold assent to the surety
part of the contract until his client could
bring an action to have Commissioner
Lindenthal's award set aside. Mr.. Steven
son added that it had always been the GUS
tom of the Comptroller's Office to grant
delays in the rejecting of contracts when
reputable lawyers asked for them.

Politics and slOI,OOO 900 Canal.

1t seems that the Republican State
committee is to build the $l0l 100000
canal which Tammany made possible
by its support of the Davis act in the
Legislature and by the great plurality
it gave for the affirmative of the ref
erendum on Nov. 3.
This inference is forced by the daily
demand from the Bundlo Neus for
the resignation of GEORGE w. DUNN
as chairman of the State committee
BY no public utterance did Col. DUNN
manifest opposition to the bargeway
plan; doubtless he shared with a ma
jority of the party leaders the belief
that this economic folly bore with it
threat of party disaster. Col. EDWARD
Fl. BUTLER Of Buffalo gave valuable
aid to the pro- canal cause, and, that fight
being over he has settled down to cry
Col. DUNN out of office.
A majority of the Republican Senators
voted against the Davis act. Is Col
BUTLER calling on them to resign their
Offices? Wasn't the bargeway to be a
business project, out of the realm OF
politics? Its supporters told us it was.
OF what real concern can it be, then,
whether Col. DUNN or Col. BUTLER is
chairman Of the State committee?
Does any one who voted for the barge
way believe that the building OF it Is
to be made into patronage which might
be employed to nominate or to defeat
the nomination of any candidate for
Governor? What of the members OF
the Canal Board who are suspected OF
lack of confidence in the canal enlarge
ment plan? 1t seems to Col. BUTLER
that the Importance now centres in the
chairman of the State committee.
Possibly Col. DUNN may find a way
to save his head. He might, for in
stance, discover logical candidate
for Governor in the block bounded by
Main, Seneca and Pearl streets and the
Terrace, city of Buffalo.
