Keep the Light Turned On.

The City Democratic Committee has
wisely determined NOT to hold It's sessions
with closed doors. TO have done other
wise would have been to violate a funda-
mental principle of Democracy. If there
is one thing that Democracy stands for,
it is for the open-doo policy In all things.
1t does not do things in corner. It,
has no conceal1nents from the public.
for 1t is the public. It is for Republic
cans to hold secret conclaves and 10
make private deals with corporations and
with favored classes. Democracy does
not believe in covering up and hiding. It
believes in giving the greatest publicity
TO all official acts. 1t recognizes the
officers as servants of the people and
there should be no secrecy between SER
want and master. All the transactions Of
the officers OF government should be as
an open book II Is the right of the
people 70 know what is going on. and when
behind closed doors In secret and their
afairs concealed, the public will lly
suspect that something IS wrong. Turn
on the light" IS the motto OF Democracy.
The City Democratic Committee repre-
cents the city Democracy and IT should
be an exemplar in all things pertaining
TO Democracy. All It's acts should be
strictly IN accordance with Democratic
principles indeed should be Illustrative
of them. Ii VIII never do Tor This repre-
sentative body or any similar representa-
i've body go far to depart from the recog-
nIzed principles and methods OF Democ-
racy as 10 set the example Of iransacting

A Word to the Would Be LAWYER.

Sirenic song of the lawyer politician,
with the huzzas of the populace as an
accompaniment, has made many boys
believe than the only road to success
les along the way OF Blackstone and
7 Kent. While this IS not true, yet law
opens up a wider field of usefulness to
ia man than almost any other profes.
sion. In considering the question OF
law as a study a boy ought to at first
consider we'll himself. No, whether
he car make Fourth Of July speeches
and tondle the babies at the political
meeting, but whether he IS willing to
become a student for the remainder of
his life. Law means study, study,
study. The number OF those who tire
of the grind is surprisingly large. 1t
is co%nservatively estimated that not
over ten per cent of the 1915 students
who took law at the University of Mis-
souri, last year will practice the pro-
f%essIon. In other colleges q similar
proportion holds. Count the hard
work before you enter law. Sooner or
later it mutt be considered.

OBe.Aere Farms.
J the Kansas City Journal:

From the Kansas City Journal;
japan imports but few food supplies
yet only 1871 per cent Of her area is
arabic land. Exclusive Of rFormosa,
there are only IA 995, 272 acres under
cultivation. This is less than one-third
Of the area of Kansas, but peverthe-
less over 40, 600, 900 people get there
from practically all that they eat and
wear.
How is this done? Perhaps nobody
but a Jap could tell. About so per
cent of the agricultural families Guilt
vste less than two acres each; 80 per
cent cultivate two acres or more up to
a little less than three or three-fourths
acres apiece, leaving Is per cent of
The farmers who cultivate farms of
hree and t~hree-iourths acres or more.
A comparison Of the whole area under
! cultivation with the number of farm
iVorkers show that, on an average, one
man cares for a little less than an acre,
while one-half Of the farmers are ten
ants having no ownership in the soil.
A Japanese farmer usually increases
his income by engaging in some sub
! sidIary industry such as rearing silk
worms, reeling silk, or spinning, and
by working for wages in the intervals
Of farm work. He seldom uses a horse
or other draft animal, and his tools
are of a very primitive character. He
fertilizes and cultIvates very thorough
ly, and is thus enabled to secure abund-
ant harvests besides often raising two
or more crops a year on the same field.
In the warmer ATTITUDES of Japan, bar
ley, indigo, beans, and rape are grown
successfully on one plat of ground
within the space of a year. A farm, if
it contains more than two acres,
usually consists of several non-adjacent
lots the average size OF each being
about one.eight of an acre.
