mrs. CHADWICK SENTENCED.
Ten Years in Prison, Says Judge Tay
ier-Appeai will Be Taken.


Cleveland, March 2S.-Unless the
higher court interferes, Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick will spend the greater part
of the next ten years in the Ohio state
penitentiary.
A sentence of ten years was imposed
upon her by Judge Robert W. Tayler
in the United States district court yes
teIday
Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on
seven counts and sentenced upon six
counts. For four of these counts a
sentence of two years each was i'm
posed. Upon two counts sentence of
one year each was imposed, making a
total sentence of ten years
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Attorney J. p. Dawley, coun-
sci for Mrs. Chadwick, took exceptions
to the sentences upon each count, ex-
cept the first count. The defense in
tends to make the claim that the court
cannot impose separate sentence for
ecah count; that the law applied to
the general charge instead of each in
cident Of general charge. The vari-
GUS counts of the indictment are con-
sidered by the defense to refer only to
details of the general offense. This
point will also be contested in the
higher court, as will the other points
of the Chadwick trial which resulted
in her conviction.

for Cessation of war,

st. Petersburg, March 27.-It is an
ounced on the highest authority that
at an extraordinary session of the coun
Gil Of ministers held late ON Sunday,
the question of peace or war was again
Thoroughly threshed out by those
present. M. Witte, who presided,
made an impassioned address in which.
it is stated, he declred that the integ.
rity of the nation must be preserved,
and that if any further attempts were
made t. compel the reserves to rally to
the colors, fighting would ensue that
would be likely to involve the whole
people.
He declared that in his opinion the
time had come when all should look at
theq uestoni of peace or war through
eyes that were single to the cause of
a united Russia. The discussion is de-
clared to have been spirited in the ex-
treme. But at its conclusion it is I'M.
derstood that the council agreed that
the time was most Opportune for init
ating steps in the direction of peace.
This decision has been communicated

tory Will do well to keep track Of the
changes now taking place.
And why do we say that the farmer
Is coming to the front and his work is
to be recognized: Simply because the
same methods that have developed our
manufactures and perfected our trans
portation systems are now being APP
piled to the upbuilding and expansion
OF agriculture. This oldest trade or
calling OF man Is the latest to receive
the attention OF men OF scientific tran
ing. keen in original research and in
saving devices. We might put it In
another form: Agriculture is beginning
TO be considered as process Of man
ufacturing. and the principles OF suc-
cessful manufacturing are being al,-
piled to It with the promise Of most re-
markable results.
Farming Is the production from the
soil. directly or indirectly. Of sub
stances for feeding and clothing hui
man beings. The farmer produces
into flour. and the baker turns the
flour into bread. We have considered
the miller and the baker to be manu-.
facturers-hencefor we must reckon
with the farmer also as manufacture
err: and he is so In a more complicate ted
and more important form than either
of the others
A Solution Of Labor Problem.
The great expansion Of manufac-
lures and Of transporta ton and their
increasing attractions for money max
ing. have drawn away the surplus pop
ulation from the farm and. as con-
sequence, the farm labor question has
become a factor in agricultural prob
lens. One solution Is the employment
Of labor saving machinery, and thus
we see first impetus has been given
to the application Of machinery to ag-
riculture. that arising from dire neces-
sity.
The Introduction Of machinery into
the great manufacturing industries OF
Britain was met by stern opposition
on the part Of the operatives. who
thought they saw In these new tangled
machines instruments that would de
prlve them Of work or at least cut
down their wages. The very opposite
has been the case. The expansion of
the great industries has drawn an in
creasing number to the great mills
and factories, has resulted in q short
ening of the hours of labor and has
increased the average wage. And SO
we may confidently expect it will be
in the case Of agriculture. The intro
duction Of high-class, improved ma
chinery will Increase the output. re-
leve the drudgery, shorten the hours
of toll. increase the wage, and gradual
ly raise the status of the wOrkmen.
All this should result in making farm
ing quite as attractive as city work
for the laboring man and thereby. in
time, settle the farm labor question.
The humiliation of Waste.
The application Of machinery to
manufactures has resulted in making
the latter an exact undertaking and
has gradually annihlated waste. In all
lines Of manufacture, waste has be-
come by-product. and the world is en-
riched thereby. Agriculture still car
ries the burden Of waste. and it is a
very heavy burden. There is a waste
in land untitled from great varle-
ty Of causes; there is the woeful waste
from weeds: waste In curing. handling
Of poor seed; the destructive waste
