PEOPLE ENGAGED IN FARMING.

Census reports give the number OF
people actually engaged in farming as
the largest of any business in the
United States. The actual figures,
according to the last census, are IL, 438,-
2l9. divided into the following classif-
cation: Farmers, planters, dairymen,
dairywomen, nurserymen, gardeners
florists, stock raisers, herders, drovers,
foresters aud apiarists.
We are growing little more wheat
corn, oats, barley and other grains
each year. Aud we also find use for
the Increased production and an annual
invitation to do a little better next
time. We must learn how to produce
two blades of grass where only one is
now growing.
The problem of supporting popula-
ton that is doubled every thirty years
and still maintain our export trade is
ND 10 every farmer to solve.

THE WORST EVER.

The result of the presidential cleo
tiou was q blow To the democratic
marty even more staggering than those
rost fearful of defeat imagined could
ha inflicted by the wielder OF the big
stick. Not only were the majorities
given the republican national ticket
the largest ever known, but surprise
was turned into amazement by the
invasion of the hitherto invincfble and
historically democratic south.
President Roosevelt carried every
northern and western state and Mis-
souri, and Maryland in the south-thir'
ty-three in cumberland will have 543
votes in the electoral college. Judge
Parker carried -only twelve states,
and will have but 1873 electoral votes
Every one of the so-calied doubtful
states ia in the Roosevelt column, and
his maiorities are tremendous ana
largely In excess of those given Mr..
Mckinley four years ago. In fact,
throughout the country he ran largely
ahead of the Mckinley vote, while
Judge Parker did not receive near as
mapy votes as did Mr.. Bryan. Even
10 his own state of New York and in
all of the other eastern states Judge
Parker ira q far behind the demo
cratic candidate of four years ago.
OF course everybody knows and can
tell what did it, but after all 1t can be
summed up in two reasons, viz: the
general prosperity of the country, and
q weak and unsatisfactory democratic
candidate who was afraid to take the
people of the country into his conf
dence and let them know what he
stood for. Especially was this true
before he received the nomination.
and there was no change until the
campaign for the election had far al
VAnced.

JAPAN WANTS TO QUIT.

Japan is on her last legs, and wants
TO stop the war. Associated Press dis
patches announced on Friday that the
Mikado's government had made repre-
sensations to Russia looking to peace,
but that the latter had declined to
consider them. 1t is believed, how
ever, that Japan's action has opened
the way for some of the powers to
offer their services and bring the war
to an end. There hasn't been a day
since the war started that Japan has
had the least chance of whipping
Russia.

THE WORK IN GEORGIA.

THE NEWS wishes to end orse the
following tribute by the Atlanta Con-
situation to the chairman of the state
democratic executive committee.
From the time the interests OF the
party in Georgia were placed in his
hands Mr.. Yeomans looked after them
with an energy and intelligence that
resulted in one of the biggest votes
cast in a national election in years
being polled last Tuesday. Our Atlanta
contemporary says:
Georgia democrats can feel pretty
well satisfied with the result OF lsst
Tuesdays balloting in this state.
"When at least three states regarded
as safely democratic broke away from
their mornings, and when all OF the
doubtful states were swept by the
republican avalanche into the Roose-
welt column. Georgia rolls up good
round majority, even in the face of the
candidacy of a prominent Georgian on
an opposition ticket.
"Much of the credit for this work
belongs, and should be given, TO Hon'
M. j. YeOmans, chairman of the state
committee. MIR. Yeomans has devoted
his time and his energies to arousing
popular interest in the campaign,
sparing himself in no degree in his
work for the party. The position OF
chairman is no sinecure. IL invo Ives
lot of hard work, particularly in a
state like Georgia, where the party
machinery is to large extent nominal;
the consequence of this Is that IN a
campaign the burden is largely on the
shoulders of the chairman.
"Mr. Yeomans has measured fully
up to the responsibilities OF the posi-
ton, and it gives US pleasure to give
him this need of praise aud to con-
graduate him upon the Georgia re-
suit"

DAwsoN's TRASHY STREETS.

Dawson's streets don't ususualiy
present a very neat and attractive
anpearance. In fact, they often look
more lige a trash dumping ground
than the thoroughfares of a thriving
and growing little city. AS a stranger
remarked the other day, "Dawson is
one of the best towns 10 the state; 1t
has handsome business houses and
beautiful residences, but the streets
do they always stay in this condition."
That doesn't speak very we'll, does 1t:
We ought to be more careful about
littering up the streets with trash IL
is as easy to toss these things into
places provided for the purpose as
anywhere else. Such carelessness
detracts very much from town 8
appearance, and gives strangers BAD
i'm preston of our regard for neatness.
The merchants should make it a
point to take pride in this matter
and not be responsible for any unclean
condition of the streets in the future.
And you, who are about to throw into
them waste paper or cane peellngs
and the like, think once-and change
your mind.
Let's have clean streets.

ANOTHER BOOKER QUESTION.

The officers of the army do not want

FOOT FOR MISSOURI CORN.
Poetic Puke PcaIs a PAGAN of Pride

The Joplin Globes poet, having read that
Missouri beats the world in the production
of corn, took his horn in hand and blew these
few blasts in celebration of the fact:

wont to foot her horn, please to give a pass
ing mention to her golden yield Of corn
Thugh she sets the pace industrial in APP
Piles rosy red, and in other lines of effort is

she's come into her own as the state where
in the biggest crop OF yellow corn is grown.
The bureau of statistics agricultural relates
that Missouri now has distanced all her SIS
terhood of states in the number Of acres
dedicated unto corn and the number of
bushels from each fruitful acre born. The
statistics draw comparisons, which show
upon their face that Miss Prohibition Kan

that was in him. He expressed an
anxiety to experience those joys, but
regretted he had no mount. It was

how prophetic was the promise.
One night the colonel, accompanied
by a galaxy of judges, professors,
colonies and a few majors came to in

same time kindly providing him with
a mount. The mount was a gigantic

covered by heavy forest, it endures to
this day.
Nobody seems to know how or why
or by whom nocturnal foxhunting was
made a principal, or rather the prin-
cipal, sport there. If you know the salt
ticks and patiently lie in their vicinity
for a day or two your ravenous appe-
tite will be appeased with a taste OF
venison. You can catch up with the
wild turkeys any day in the season,
and coon and 'possum await you at
all times. But why the Usage Hill
folk almost altogether ignore these
objects Of sport and take a savage de-
light in blindly chasing a worthless,
uaedible and malodorous varmint like
a fox through the painless brush of
their finty hills at night is unaccount-
able.

joys of the nocturnal foxhunt, but the

foxhunt of the Usage Hills.
The comparisons are Lawrence E.
Rithby's, and he ought to know. Mr..
Rithby-who is a railroad engineer
with offices in the st. James building,
New York city-had the fortune to ex-
p%erience the kid-gloved eastern sport,
and what he terms the misfortune TO
risk his neck in the untamed Missouri
affair. And when he witnessed the
risks taken in a nocturnal run with
the hounds in the Usage Hills he con-
Guided that human life was about the
cheapest thing in the market there.
At about 35 miles westward from
Eldon, Mo-, you find yourself in the
heart of the Usage Hills. Eldon is
mentioned because that is the railroad
jumping-off place. From there a team
Of tough Missouri mules will run you
to the hills in about tour hours.
The Usage Hills lie about the main
valley of the Usage river, and in this
