Gradually his influence broadened un-
til he was almost a dominant factor
in building operations in New York
city. Contractors feared him. He had
the power to call a strike and when he
gave TIE word iron workers laid down
their TOOLS asking no questions. So
great, in fact, was his influence that
even after his conviction, at a time
when he was free pending an appeal
made by his counsel, Parks led a pa
rade Of $4,000 wage earners up Fifth
avenue. He had then been a short time
in Sing Sing, but had been released.
His hair was closely cropped, but in
every block he was cheered as a hero
and his progress was marked by a
never ending ovation.
Employers were complaining of
blackmail. They said that the business
agents of the unions compelled them
to pay large sums to prevent losses as
the result Of strikes over trivial mat
tiers. Parks was held responsible for
the condition of affairs and he was ar
rested repeatedly. AS many time as
he was arrested he furnished bonds
and continued to show defiance. But
he was finally defeated and. with his
spirit broken, was taken to Sing Sing
to serve a sentence of two years and
three months.
DIR. Irvine examined Parks on his ar
rival at the prison and found him sun
fering from consumption. He stood
prison life fairly well until late in JAM
uary when he began failing rapidly.
A month ago he was compelled to re-

A BENEFICIAL PROPOSITION

The bill introduced on We'd
nesday, by Senator Nelson, and
which is printed IN another
column, providing for the grant
of lands of the State of Mime
sofa for forestry purposes, en-
bodies a proposition which, if
the bill shall pass, will result
in vast benefits to the state
and nation. The lands it
grants are such as are "third or
fourth rate in respect to soil, or
too billy and rocky for cultiva-
tion." It thus interposes no
obstacle to the filling up of ar
able sections with settlers,
while, by placing such lands
under the intelligent supervis-

supplies of lumber for home

and others-is such as to in
spire confidence in the inaugur-
alton of wise and far-seeing
plans. The fact that the lands
included in the grant are
scattered in many localities,
and include none which in the
opinion of the forester of the
bureau of forestry should form

HIGH PRICED WHEAT PREDICTED

future wheat supplies for the
United Kingdom, and ia casting
about to ascertain from whence
the bread of that country is to
come. 1t is of the opinion that
the worlds wheat composition
is growing much more rapidly
than the production. In the
last twenty-five years the world
wheat production increased SO
per cent. The Statist wants to
know where a similar increase
is to come from in the next
twenty-five years. According
to the Statist's view the older
wheat producing countries of
Europe and the United States
have now reached the limit of
their surplus production, says
the Minneapolis Journal.
To northwestern people who
have kept close watch Oh the
extension of the wheat fields of
western Canada the Statist's
views regarding the future role
of that region as a wheat pro-
Queer will be interesting. It
does not take the sanguine
view that is generally taken as
to the rapidity of future ex-
pansion of wheat production in
Carada. Its theory is that
Their is a direct relation between
railway mileage and wheat pro-
duction. 1t argues that con-
ditions in Canada do not make
it possible for railway mileage
to grow as rapidly as it has in
the United States in the past
twenty-five years. Therefore,
reasons the Statist, Canada will
not come forward so rapidly in
wheat raising as the Uuited
States did. The most Canada
can do in the. next ten years,
according to the Statist, is to
INCREASE it's mileage by 30 per
cent, or about 10000 miles, and
that will permit it only to
double it's present wheat pro-
duction.
This is certainly an interest
ing argument. It has been Gus
tomary to say that, inasmucb
as there are at least 100000 |
acres of good land in western
Canada, and the 100000 now
devoted to wheat are producing |
100000 bushels, Canada |
should ultimately produce
2,OOO,00O,OOO bushels of wheat.
But, of course, even when the
whole 10O,OOo,O0O acres shall be
5~or- ut under the plow, a part
of it will be devoted to wheat
tits doubtful whether
more than 100000 acres will
ever be devoted to wheat. AL
ready diversifie farming is be-
coming prominent. 1t is
that in Manitoba the
wheat acreage is only 60 per
cent of the entire cultivated
area. Then, too, by the time
Canada is raising as much
wheat as the United States is
to-day, she will have a
arge home population to feed.
IF the Statist is right in it's
assumption that Canada must
build 10000 miles OF railway
every time it adds 100000
bushels to it's wheat producing
American wheat
growers have nothing to fear
from Canadian competition,
since the Canadian growth of
output will not keep up with
the growth of demand. Brad

RAILWAY SLAUGHTER.

victims to their CHASTITY record
of killed and wounded in 1908
| and there are several wholesale
slaughters that stand out with
grim prominence, says the
Minneapolis Journal. AS every
one knows. it is cheaper to kill
a passenger than to cripple one,
because our courts, in their in
finite wisdom, have 80 decreed,
but it is cheaper to take
chances of Gripping many in
order to save a few dollars in
wages? It should not be, yet
when we hear of a wreck, we
nearly always read at the same
time that the direct response
bility is shifted upon some en-
ploye, and an investigation
often shows that he was work
ed beyond human endurance
at the time.
In the case of the Santa Fe
wreck a short time ago when
eight persons were killed and
a score injured; it was found
that a freight brakeman had
failed to flag the passenger
train. The brakeman had been
on duty continuously for TWEEN
ty-two hours. Why? Was it
because it was considered
cheaper to take chances of
butchery than to employ suffici-
ent help? Whatever the mo-
tive, should there not be some
penalty than the mere
payment of a few dol
lars in damages to the
injured and fewer dollars to
the heirs of the persons
who were killed? The manage
ment of the road was to blame,
not the underpaid, overworked
brakeman.
Granting, pending investi-
cation, that the bntcheries in
Pennsylvania and Michigan
were purely Observation-Disclosures
the common acceptance of the
terms in this country-it is a |
fact that too many of our rail
way accidents are due TO reck-
1essness in management, How
often has it been shown within
the year that this or that acct
dent was due to the"negligence"
of a boy operator on duty eigh-
teen or twenty hours, an engi-
neer or a brakeman worked be-
yond the limits of human endur-
ance, defect in train equip
ment, track or roadbed?
In it's demand for lightning
speed over broad stretches of
country, where physical con-
ditions render safe travel a
difficult problem, the rushing
American public is in some
to blame, but that does
not by any means explain the
wide, difference between our
railway casualty list and that OF
England, France, or Germany.
No wonder the interstate COM
merce com mission, in it's annu
al report to congress, bluntly
declared that "the record is a
disgrace to the American
people,"
In many respects our rail-
way service, as whole, is adj
but in the matter OF
safety it is far behind that

exchange some of our comfort
and speed for degree of safety
