Peers Who Keep Saloons

Peers Who Keep Saloons.
It is interesting in view Of the pros.
pect of licensing legislation in England
to remember that between 300 and 400
public houses are owned by members
of the house of lords. Lord Derby is by
far the largest owner, with seventy
two licensed houses. No other peer has
more than ffty, the next largest owner
being the. Duke Of Bedford, who has
exactly half a hundred houses. One
member of the cabinet, the Duke of
Devonshire, has forty seven, so that
between them these three have 169 IL
censed houses, more than half the total
number held by peers. .ccS- s.

uo 1Ol1OW1US letter 1rOlu MT. y. d.
Bosch of Prinsburg, Kandtyohi Co.,
appeared in q late issue of Farm,
Stock & Home. Mr.. Bosch is q deep
and earnest student of economic ques-
tions, and his letter deserves careful
reading:
''The question, Why must farmers
with increased facilitles of production
work as many hours q day. rs they
did 80 years ago? is alive one row:
In those days farm machinery was
primitive. With his wagon the farm
er could reach local customers, the
miller, butcher. shoemaker, ETC., who
in turn supplied the local demand for
supplies. Prices were made by supply
and demand. Local distribution of
products caused q more even distribu-
ton of wealth, as each got the full
value of his product in exchange for
something else.
"But as machinery in shops became
more complicated and costly the CAPT.
talist was taken into partnership, and
the indedendent blacksmith and wa
gonmaker became dependent factory
hands, with the capitalist as director
of labor, and he made the most of his
opportunity. In time he saw the ben-
eft of dealing direct with customers
thru q system of self appointed agents.
This enabled him to fix his own price
on his product and also the compen-
sation of middlemen, who are also his
hired men. AS time went on he Sc
cured political control, and used it to
set aside the law of supply and de-
mand. A high protective tariff shut
out foreign competition, while com.
.bining all related industries domestic
competition was destroyed. In short,
the owner of factory machinery has
prospered because he has looked after
his own interests in every way.
s'The farmer, on the other hand,
has neglected his opportunities. Do
farmers ever think that most OF farm
work is now done in factories? The
men engaged in the manufacture OF
modern farm machinery are the class
!. Of men that made the fail and cradle,
and that he has to feed and clothe
them the same as of old. Bnt farmers
cannot regulate their wages as before
While studying how to run farm ma
chinery the farmer has forgotten how

has learned to run harvester and sep

reach his customers thru middlemen
who are not his servants, and they
make the most of their opportunity
When the farmer starts to supply his
customers he is stopped by the eleva-
tor, which relieves him Of further

The Mission of Socialism

When food, clothing and shelter was provided
in an individual and primitive manner, the result
was so scant that it necessary that some devote
themselves entirely to production, in fact be slaves,
in order that portion of the race might have op-
portunity for culture.

1t seems that Jones county is about
to solve the negro problem in a new
but effective way. If reports are true
in one section of that county the me-
gro question is about settled, as there
is not a negro to be found in it.
Some white men last week incurred
the displeasure of the negroes and
while passing through the neighbor-
hood they were fired upon and one of
them dangerously wounded. Then
the white men gathered their forces
about them and made raid, visiting
every negro house and running
them out of the county, and the re-
port says several negroes were either
beaten or shot to death. 1t would have
been race riot but for the fact the ne
gro race could not be found. AS soon
as they fired from ambush the whole
shooting match and those not in the
shooting match left for another
part and covered their tracks behind
them by pulling the dirt over them.
That is one way to settle the negro
problem, and that will be resorted tC
in like cases, but it is not Legitimate

THAT LAST REPORT.

Doubtless Mrs. Kells feels like
thirty cents. She expected to hear
something very heavy fall when she
gave out the interview to the effect
that the whiskey dealers association
had declared that Mr.. Vradaman and
Mr.. Money must be elected. She ex-
pected to see all the Axe papers and
some of the Sx10 jump astraddle the
shoulders of the gentlemen and force
them to full and unreserved confess
sion of the guilt of the charge. But
instead of this the most of these pa
pers stood up fatfooted and stated
that they did not believe there was a
word of truth in the charge, but that
Mrs. Kells had been imposed on.
That was somewhat of a surprise
simply awful to think such nice lit
tie story was concocted and no one,
not even the enemies of the gentle
men, could be found to believe it.
Too badl More than this nearly all
the papers told Mrs. Kells that she
might be called upon to prove the
truthfulness of the assertion or at
least give the name of the author.
Take then as a majority of the
newspapers of the state they have con-

Some fellows over in Arkansas the
other day drank mountain dew and in
a short time thereafter they were
buried, the whiskey having killed
them. But these days it is rather q
common thing for whisky, all of which
is more or less poisonous, to kill a
man and it is becoming the fad now
among suicidal-inclined persons to
take trip by the blind tiger route
rather than by the hanging route, al
there is no possible way to restore q
man to life after the whiskey has
taken effect. The rope might break,
but the whiskey never fails.

city council has refused to pass the
ordinance adopted by the aldermen
cutting down the force. IL the force
should be reduced, the friends and rel.

cut down the force would be the ones
laid of by the commissioners. The
reason the council does not out down

BLIND TOMS MOTHER
She Died in Birmingham From Old
Age.
Was Reputed To Be iO6 Years Old
Had Twenty Children.

A Birmingham dispatch says thst
Charity Virgins. q colored woman,
said to be io5 years old, who died
there last week In little tnmbledown
shanty on the outskirts Of she city, was
the mother OF Blind Tom, one Of the
greatest prodigies the musical world
has ever known. She was born in
slavery and belonged 10 the family Of
General James N. Bethune, wealthy
Georgians, who lived near Columbus,
She was the mother OF 90 children, Of
whom the noted pianist was originally
regarded as the least worthy.
When Tom was born his mother be-
longed to Colonel Wiley Jones, of
Georgia, and not long after his birth
she and her children were sold TO Gen
eral Bethune. Tom being blind and
considered worthless. was thrown
in"-that is to say IN the transaction
no valuation was set upon him.
When the child was three years old,
according to the story of his mother,
told just before she died, he developed
a great fondnsss for music. General
Bethune's daughters were accomplish
ed musicians, and the chief delight Of
the blind boy, who WAS allowed to
crawl about the yard wearing q single
garment-a shirt-was TO get under
the window and listen 20 the young
women playing the piano.
Toms birth raises an interesting
question in psychology, and has been
the subject Of comment In the lectures
of some Of the most eminent men Of
science In the country. just before
his birth there were several young wo-
men at the home Of his mothers own.

quently had Toms mother TO dance
for them, 9 duty which fell lightly
on the shoulders Of .the negroes, who
violently loved not only the dancing
but the music. She took advantage
OF every opportunity to hear the piano
and seemed enchanted with its melo,

learned many Of the selections, though
not able to play herself. This is be.
lieved by many scientific men TO so-
count. largely, If not wholly, for the
wonderful talent OF her son.
