A TRANSITION PERIOD

Traert Star-Cnppef.J
We are not alarmed because for a
few years our population has slightly
decreased. We are in a transition per-
iod. Many have sold because by SO
doing they could go where land IS
cheap and double or quadruple their
acres. Many others because their
methods of tillage and stock raising
made farming high priced land los
ing matter, while others sold because
1t gave them means to change to some
business or residence more congenial.
But their places have been taken by
men who are not in doubt as to the
profit of Iowa farms. We expect to
see the time when the number of far
mers will be doubled. This will come
in three ways. Intensive farming re-
quires more laborers. This will neces-
state hiring helpers or dividing large
farms into smaller holdings, giving
subdivisions to renters or purchasers.
Rents are high, it is true, as compared
with former rates. But we are devel-
oping a class of up to date farmers,
who, unable at present to own land,
will make money on a rented forty,
and eventually buy 1t. Intensive far
ming, which is true farming will give
Iowa as dense population as that Of
any state in the Union, and the price
of land will not go down.

AN EXPERIMENT. THAT FAILED.

Perhaps it is possible for an altruist
to mix drinks and deal in liquor, but
pure piety and the whiskey trade are
scarcely able to work in double har-
ness When the Subway Tavern clos
ed the other day it simply furnished
another instance of the Impractical
bility Of doing an evil thing in a good
way. The subway saloon was estab-
mendable purpose. Its opening with
prayer Jared on the sensibilities of
the public and brought out considera-
BILE caustic comment regarding the
promoters. Nevertheless the Christian
men who gave it their counternance
must be given credit for honesty Of
purpose. They hoped much for their
plan and in it's utter failure will find
keen disappointment.
Time was when the subway saloon
might have succeeded to a limited ex-
tent. That was before the conflict be-
tween Christianity and strong drink
became irrepressible. Under latter
day conditions there is no ground for
armistice between religion and intern
perance, between the church and the
saloon, for the saloon is the synagog
and symbol Of intemperance.
The subway saloon had it's uses. 1t
was an experiment toward better con-
ditions and men learn by experiment.
It's failure should not dampen the zeal
Of its promoters, but set them seeking
better and more effective methods Of
meeting the problem they hope to
solve. They are not discredited be-
cause they have been mistaken. Soon
or late the sincere reformer finds the
way
