What the Member Of British Parlsa-
ment Has TO Say TO the Labor

MIR. John Burns. NJ. p. addressed
large meeting in Manchester recently
on Labor and Drink" The lecture
was one OF the Lees and Roper Memo

London Times as follows.

as the antechamber OF the workhouse
the chapel OF ease TO the asylum. the
recruiting station 20 the hospital. The
rendezvous for the gambler, and the
gathering ground for the jail. There
was no compensation In drink.
Dealingwith the figures OF the money
spent In drink. while deploring the Inn
mense amount spent "a every working
family. he answered recent critic by
pointing out that twothirds OF the
drink bin was spent by three quarters
Of the population. and only half the
amount per head was taken BY the
working classes as was taken by the
classes above them. But whether the
expenditure was 4 a per family or 4 ia

took in trying to end that unfortunate
strike. This same gentleman ex-
pressed himself even more strongly at
the time of the hearing against the
attitude of the President. 1t was then
openly declared by such men as Baer
that the President was decidedly out
OF his sphere and that he had no bust.
ness to NEEDLE with such affairs. II
went upon the assumption that neither
as President o as citizen he should
take any action.
Mr.. Bears last sarcastic remark
now directed at the President will act
as a boomerang and will come back
upon his own head. 1t will lose him
what little prestige he still had left
and he will be hated more.than before
incidentally, it was unfortunate that
such a remark should have been made
at a Yale alumni dinner, although he
public will not hold Yale responsible
for anything said there. 1t is unfor.
tunate for the great commercial inter.
ests of the country that such remarks
should be made by one of their repre-.
sentatives, for they only tend to widen
the breach which already exists be.
tween these large interests and the
people.

PRODUCTIVE VALUE OF LAND.

Keokuk Gate City.-A Missouri edi-
tor has figured out that an acre of land
in clover will produce 500 pounds Of
pork; peas. 375 pounds; corn, $50
pounds; oats 800 pounds; barley 420
pounds and wheat, 225 pounds. The
value of each crop on one acre when
converted into pork is as follows.
Glover, S32; corn. $22.40; peas, SIS:
barley $3.50; oats $500 and wheat
50, estimating pork at four cents per
pound. OF course something depends
on the prices ruling for the crops. The
amount of produce per acre required
to give the pork mentioned on an acre
is 900 pounds of wheat, 1880 pounds of
barley. 1920 pounds of oats, 2.24O
pounds Of corn. $4,000 pounds of peas
and $4,000 pounds of green clover.
There is one instance on record in
northern Iowa in which the productive
value of an ere Of farm land in this
state proved to be about $3.50. Further
interesting comparison is afforded by
the fact that the strawberry
in the vicinity Of Keokuk not infre.
quently clear several hundred dollars
an acre annually. There is good
money also in growing tomatoes and
pickles"

THE PASSING OF MoRMoN,sm

II the Smoot inquiry has done moth
ing else-and there were few who
really expected 1t to result III the ex
puls1on OF the Utah senator-it has
brought out the fact that polygamy is
destined to work out it's own decay
even among the Mormons and that
The greatest reason for opposing it
Will nave disappeared with the present
generation. Senator Smoot, the testi-
mony has shown, has but one wife and
is not In favor of polygamy. The evil
dence before the committee of INQUIRY
has been largely in favor of the Nor
mons, showing as it has that the mys-
teries of the church are not of a ma.
ture inimical to the government. Har-
old j.. Mahin, the Courier's Washing.
ton correspondent, sums up the stu.
alton resulting from the Smoot hear.
ing as follows:
While the Smoot inquiry has brought
out some startling facts about Nor
monism and polygamy it has neverthe-
less in the minds of many showed con-
clusively that polygamy can best be
rectifed by time. 1t is believed that
1t is certainly not growing and that
when those who are now living with
plural wives pass away 1t will wipe out
the last vestige of this unpleasant
Feature of the Mormon religion. Even
the witnesses who appeared against
SFnoot admitted that they thought it
best not to try to do away with the
evil now because those now living with
plural wives believed that 1t would be
a crime to put away any of the wives
they took years ago under the church
laws.
1t has been proven that Senator
Smoot is not a polygamist and is not
IN favor of polygamy and he also de-
nice emphatically that he made any
vows to his church which would in
terfere with his duties as a United
States senator.
