A Look at the Books,

Among other things, many other
things, that this age is an age of in
vestigation. The thing began with old
Tom Hendricks battlecry in the cam
paign Of 1876, "Let us look at the
books" A whole lot Of people in that
campaign were talking greenbackism,
the parity of money, the mysterious
resumption of specie payments and the
constitutionality Of using the army as
police force at the polls. But Thomas
"A. Hendricks Of Indiana swept all of
these wordy issues aside and went
straight to the root of the matter. He
said: ''The republican party has been
in power a good while and tho the re-
publicans tell us their administration
has been imma culate, how do we know
it unless we get a look at the bookss'
Thousands of people voted for Tilden
under the impression that Hendricks
was running for expert accountant and
would audit all the books Of the coun-
try.
Hendricks did not get look at the
books that time, but the issue fingered
in people g minds. This idea Of looking,
at the books is dangerous notion to
put into people s noddles. It sticks.
Now we are just arriving at the frui-
tion of the issue started by Hendricks
thirty years ago. We have got a lot of
I commissions going about looking at the
books of the postoffce, the printing,
the farming and the other bureaus. We
have state commissioners looking at the
books Of the insurance companies, and
we have an interstate commerce COM
mission looking at the books of the rail
road companies. We are even demand

Judging from the results that have
been obtained, Mr.. Hendricks of In

years ago and have been in it ever since

Sound Prosperitv.

Secretary Wilson, when he had fin
ished his annual report as head of the
department Of agriculture, could
scarcely refrain from dropping into
poetry, so wonderfully impressive were
the facts and figures spread before
him. One bit of sentiment found it's
way in. ''Dreams Of wealth produc-
tion," he says, "could. scarcely equal
actual results; every sunset for five
years has witnessed an increase in the
value Of the farms Of our country Of
$2,4OO,O0O.' Every month. has piled
value upon value until it represents to-
day gain per month Of $1O2,00O,-
900, and since the census of 1900 was
taken, the total farm value of the
United States has increased by the
great sum Of $6,133, 100000. These are
mighty figures and they speak of pros:
perity unparalleled in the, world g his
tory. Little wonder that the men who
compile them and come in touch with
the moving forces for which the figures
stand, are tempted to give way to en-
thusiasm.
While the lands Of the farmer have
been advancing. the farmer himself has
not been idle. This past season he
made new record, turning out a total
farm production of $6,4l5,OOO,O0o a
sum greater than the increase repre-.
sented by land enhancement. Corn is
again the greatest crop, in measured
! units of production as well as in value,
and it stands this year for $1,216, ,OOO,-
ooo Hay measures up to $6O5, ,OOO,-
600, cotton has a value Of $575 100000,
wheat $525,000,0O0, milk and butter
run to 1868, 100000. and the great vari-
ETY. of farm production makes diver

Football Reform.

Mr. Edward S. Jordan, reporter for
Golfers Weekly, seems to be about
to win his case without having pro-
duced any evidence or proved any Of
his charges. This singular condition
OF affairs arises as result Of the fact
that the college authorities were just
about to move on football when Mr..
Jordan appeared on the horizon with
his innuendoes and suspicious. Ordi-
narily, the appearance Of such a flood
Of abuse and Misrepresentation would
delay the reform. People hate to be re-
formed under pressure or to have their
status interfered with while improved
and untrue charges are floating about.
They usually demand vindication first
and reform afterwards. But happily
for the future Of the college athletics
and the peace Of mind Of the ANAL
gamated presidents, Jordan and his
charges are such small potatoes that it
is not necessary to take them into con.
sideration. Football will be reformed
not because Of Jordan but in spite of
him and his works.
The excellent spirit in which such
men as Northrop, Wheeler, Eliot and
other college presidents approach their
task bodies we'll for success. They are
not going into the job with the feeling
that 1t is beneath their dignity, but
they will approach it as one we'll worth
their best mental and temperamenta]
efforts. The athletic state of a college
has grown to be one Of prime import
ance. It is as much the province of the
faculties to settle it, and settle it right
as it is to settle the conditions of de
bates, oratorical contests and, the
courses Of study. The task is more diff
| ficult than either Of the others because
the public takes more unreasonine
interest in football than it does in ora
torical contests. This is where the pub
lie disappoints the college presidents
but all the more necessary that they
should bring football and the football
public up to a high standard. We fee
sure that this will be done. and that
! the mean suspicious about t< assisted
students and hulking athletes pretend
ing to go to classes when they are really
hired to buck the line, will pass away
The sport. will remain and the froth O.
sensation about it will evaporate. II

neCLURE's MAGAZINE for Decem-
N Der contains an appeal for the
integratton Of the common conscience" ("
The appeal comes from Rev. Charles D.
Williams, dean of Trinity cathedral,
Cleveland, and urges with great force the
necessity of a moral o-ordinationr of
the business with the private conscience.
He points out, what all thoughtful men
see, that men Of exemplary character in
private and religious associations are
often without moral sense in business
relations. This disintegration of con-
science, says Mr.. Williams, must be
overcome. III This is the chief moral de-
mand Of the age upon the Christian
church and the Christian believer
The article hts In admirably with the
crusade against civic and commercial
corruption, which is being waged by Nc
Clure's Magazine with 50 much force.
Indeed, the magazine should be given
credit for great work as an integra tor of
conscience. If there is anything In holi-
day resolutions here is chance to bring
it outlet It show in the integrated con-
science.

GOOD CHEER At AN ARTISTS
FlRESiDE.-Now and then-only now
and then-one comes upon book that
genuinely warns the heart and cheers
the mind Such a book As f. Hoplinson
Smiths Tho Wood Fire In No. 3. No.
IS Sandy MacWhirter's studio in a New
York building. 1t is the only one in the
building that has an open fireplace,-the
result Of special dispensation-and
Sandy ever offers up incense as token
of his gratitude for the blessing, Such
a temple Is not long without worshipers,
and Sandy's neighborsl soon discover
that, while Sandy's fire warns the body,
Sandy's genial nature and companion
ship warm the heart and soul. So the
studio becomes a place in which to abb
+ sorb and exude good cheer, to tell good
tales, to make, those honest confessions
that are good for the SOUL a place Of un-
alloyed canlaraderie. He who would not
care to read about Sandy s wood fire and
his companions wou1d8snot care for fire
or friends himself and would deserve
neither for it is testimony Of Mr., Smith s
art that he makes his reader feel the
cheer Of Sandy's fire, laugh over the
tales and badinage Of Sandy's friends
and take an interest in their experiences
as he would in those of his own friends.

and bringing the total to the figures
above, ,s
There are many different ways In
which the effect Of this production Of
now wealth may be shown, but prob
ably no one thing makes 1t clearer
than the turning Of the wealthier
farmers into the banking field. OF ma
tional banks, of $4,000 capitalization
or more, there were organized, since
March IA, 1900, to Oct. 81 Of this year
l,754 new banks, of which majority
represent tire money of farmers, who
have gone in both as depositors and
stockholders.
The whole exhibit is wonder. But
after one reads it, there is no longer
wonder that the country is prosperous
nor can any doubt remain Of the sound
ness of the advance in values in gen
eral. Prosperity that is based upon
the farmers prosperity is the rea'
