The following story tells how

What is done in such a ease?
Whatever the dealer. who sold the
paint, considers it fair to do. We
leave it to him. He may not do
exactly what we should do if we

The demand of the cotton farm
ers that the State penal institu-
tons be prohibited from raising
cotton is fully as just and reason.
able as the demand of the labor
unions, already complied with,
that convicts be not employed
where the laborers would have to
compete with them, as in mann
features. Here is an excellent
example of the value of organiza-

power are stronger than all the
union laborers combined, yet by
reason of lack of organization they
see convict labor driven from other

1t is Il matter of very great regret
that the Senate and President have
agreed to disagree concering the
necessity of amending the arbitra
ton treaties, and it emphasizes the
cumbrons, non adaptive machinery
OF orr government in its relations
to foreign powers Senators and
Presidents have disagreed before.
The first treaty ever sent to the
Senate was amended and it is not
REGAL led that that body has since
failed to exercise its amendatory
function. The Senate is jealous
OF its dignity and of its reputation
as deliberative body. No one
will deny it the distinction of be-
ing deliberative. Several of it's
members hold tbs record of having
spoke n continuously, with brief in
tervals for nourishment and sleep,

BACK TO THE FARMS.

An important change is quietly
but irresistibly coming about in the
industrial situation in this, country.
For years the tendency Of ambi-
tious young men has been from the
farms to the cities, lured by the
higher wages and greater appor-
tunities The steady migration
has resulted in a decided effect
both upon city wages and upon
the value of farm products. Wages
are at standstill; farm products
are steadily rising in value
There is labor congestion in
the cities and growing inability on
the part of the farms to meet the
ever-increasing demands for their
products.
The American Agricnlturist has
prepared Il comparative table of
farm values, acreage, production
and selling prices of the staple
crops for a series of years The
three years taken for special com
pariSon are 1901, 1904 and 1896;
1901 is taken as an average year..
1896 rs low year, and 1904 as the
most prosperous year the Ameri-
can agriculture has ever known.
The total value at the farm of
the staple crops was 81, 800, 900, 900
in 1896, So, 532, 100000 in 1904.
and 1928, 5000 in 1904. Thus
the total value of the last seasons
crops is almost double that of the
1896 yield, an increase in value ont
of all proportion to the increase in
production.
Apples are the only corp which
are less i'll quantity than in 1896,
but hay, rye, wheat, corn and fax
seed were produced in almost the
same amount. The only larger
increase in production is in cotton
where the crop is almost half larger
than in 1896. Potatoes and oats
show some increase, but not much.

THE ONE MAN IDEA IN BIG WORK


We are travelling so rapidly from
the old standards that it makes the
head swim to see how far we have
gone. Here is Minnesota about to
abolish the grand jury, sacred insti
tuition that has been the prop and
pride of Anglo Saxon civilization
since history began The people
voted for the change by majority Of
l2i, 600, and the State Legislature will
carry it into effect. Already other
States are considering the wisdom Of
following Minnesota's example. Cut
ting loose from antiquity is the way
it is expressed.
What does it mean? Simply the
conviction that it will be better to in
trust the work to one man who will
give to it the direction and attention
which jury, by the divisions and
COMMISSIONS of numbers, too often mis-
ses. IL is the belief that the one man
working in one thing is better than
many men dabbling at ii. There is.
also, the tendency Of tho grand jury
to play politics, to let out its secrets.
and to dine too we'll when it ought to
be investigating. 1t is an illustration
Of the modern idea that many do not
make as much progress as one man.

all approXimated the increase il

Corn is selling for twice what il
did in 1896, wheat for one-thlrd
more, hay for third more.
The remarkable conclusion OF
this crop combination is that in ten
years there has been hardly any

of staple crops produced except in
cotton. Even in such products ol
less total valne as onions. hops and
ctanberries the quantity produced
