FARMERS of the east learned 1onp q

FARMERS of the east learned long ago
that large farms, as a rule, are not so
profitable as small ones Increased
population, the growth and spreading
out of towns and villages, trenched upon
broad acres which become too valuable
for farm purposes and compelled their
shrinkage. But the result was astound-
ing. Heavy, better and more profitable
crops were raised. Fifty acres produced
as much profit as a hundred did before.
Labor expended on the larger quantity
concentrated upon the smaller gave more
satisfactory returns. Besides the far
mer's life was not one of continuous
drudgery; he had more leisure and more
opportunities. Farmers here are max
ing the same discovery. Farms are get
ting to be smaller but not by any means
less profitable to the owner.

The Farmers Institute annual pub

The Farmers Institute annual pub
lished by the Fargo state agricultural
college this year is full of matter of
special interest to everyone doing farm
ing in the state. The annual was com
piled by Prof. Kaufman who has charge
of its distribution and many copies have
been distributed at the meeting of the
grain growers and at Institutes in order
to save postage. The proceedings of the
tri-state grain growers convention, which
will be held in Fargo, on January 18th
to 10th will also be publishedi in the next
annual of 1905. A copy of this book
should be in the hands of every farmer
in the state and every farmer who has
not been able to obtain a copy can do so
by sending his name and address, to the
state agricultural college at Fargo, with
SIX cents for postage when a, copy of the
annual will be sent in return free of any
additional cost.

An Astute Politician.

If ever there was an astute politician
in the White House at Washington his
name is Theodore Roosevelt. On the
morning after the election there were
those who thought that, flushed with
his overwhelming triumph, be might
proceed to run things with an iron
hand, making enemies right and left
and bringing upon himself the condem-
nation Of friend and foe, but the event
has discredited the prophets of evil.
The president appears to be a changed
man. Instead Of riding r%oughshod over
the PROSTATE opposition he seems to
have entered upon a policy of concilia-
ton that is bound to enhance his per-
M popularity and incidentally to
give him a tighter grip than ever upon
the relns of power.-Philadelphia Rec

Senate Bars the Way.

Apropos Of discussion Of the strength
Of the reciprocity idea iqAthe United
States, the Toronto Sun Says Of our
congress: "The senate, through it's su-
perior stability and ~compactness, has
been able to reduce the house, which
really represents the people, to COM
parative impotence, drawing the real
power to itself. 1t is thoroughly under
the influence Of capitalists, who profit
by the high tariff. AS it's composition
changes slowly, it will probably bar
the way against fiscal. emancipation
for some time to come, not, it is to be
hoped, forever"

A CONGENiAL PAIR.
A Boston IdeI of the Detection of tt,
Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Boston Idea of the Detection of Il. 9
Cincinnati Enquirer.
John R. Mclean. proprietor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, finds nothing in
either faction of the Democratic party
to command his allegiance, says the
Boston Herald in an editorial. He was
once, we believe, a strong supporter Of
Bryan, and in one presidential year he
suffered himself to be talked Of as a
candidate for president. Now he re-
pudiates both the Bryan and the Par
ker Democracy and announces that the
Enquirer will have nothing to do with
a reorganization that contemplates
keeping either at the front.
The Enquirer has long been conduct
ed as a nominally Democratic newspa
per, but out Of harmony with any par
ty management which did not count
its proprietor as a leader. But he has
no large following In the state. For
years the newspaper has been a steady
supporter of or, at all events, an apol-
ogist for the Cincinnati Republican
boss, George B. Cox. More ever than
the Cincinnati Republican newspapers
1t has played the part of the boss or
gan, reporting his intentions and do
1ngs with a cordial and authoritative
air. 1t may be fairly well described as
the organ of Mclean and Cox, a con-
genial pair of politicians, both "out for
the stuff"

Naval FriIIs Are Costly.

The federal government is now going

separate bureaus have been allowed to
go ahead and build Independent plants
IN each yard. The New York yard has
i've or six Of them. Hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars have been wasted in
this foolishness. AS an illustration it is
stated that by substituting a single
generating plant for the separate nes
In the Boston navy yard a saving Of
$4,000 a year will be effected. The bu-

A POLICY OF
Course to Be Pursued In the Matter
OF Tariff RevisiOn.

course TO BE Pursued In the Matter
of Tariff Revision.
President Roosevelt and all Repub.
licans of light and leading have re-
peatedly declared that the tariff, If it
is ever revised, must be revised by it's
friends. Now Mr.. Cassatt, president
Of the Pennsylvania railroad, has had
a prolonged conference with the pres
ident, and his presence at the White
House gives rise to the conjecture that
an attempt is making to persuade the
president that if the laws relating to
railroads are to be revised the revision
must be accomplished by their friends
that is, by the friends of the rail-
roads. One Washington dispatch af-
firms, indeed, that the president spurns
the suggestion Of a bipartisan inter-
state commerce commission. If con-
gress extends the range of the commits
sion's powers as he desires he will ask
that the salaries be increased. and he
Will then appoint a commission of
pert railroad men, the best he can get
in the country.
The American consumer, who pays
all charges, whether they be levied at
railroad freight ,depots or at United
States customs houses, is beginning
anxiously to inquire why he and his
function. He would rather take the
chance of a private interview with his
railroad freight agent, who would be
impressed by a threat to take his COM
moditieS to The rival line over the river,
than to rest his hopes upon an appeal
to or an argument before three or five
freight agents organized as an inter-
state commerce commission in Wash
ington. Likewise he would be better
pleased if his congressman would pay
some regard to his views concerning
tariff revision instead of obeying al
ways the protected interests or the
house leaders. who never fail to obey
them.
1t is said that the president feels
that the railroad rate issue is more ur-
gent than the issue of tariff reform. It
is an issue more easily pushed" we
have no doubt, and one involving few
er political dangers. Half a dozen rail-
road men who never were the real
friends of the president and never pro-
fessed friendship save for a few
months during the campaign possess
nothing like the power for mischief
and disturbance that is vested in the
mighty beneficiaries of protection, de
Tended at all points as they are by SEN
ators and members of congress, who
when the president began to talk about
revising the tariff at once let it be
known openly that he could proceed
along that path only at the risk and
peril Of breaking with them.
A study of probabilities at the ma
t1onal capital, we think. will convince
any qualified observer that the policy
of inaction is supported by it's friends
with an enthusiasm exhibited for no
other. There is to be no tariff revi-
sion, no railroad rate legislation, not
even any ship subsidies. which would
be a little too i!rpCdent in the face of
the thwarted demand for lower duties.
Nothing but the appropriations-that is
the policy which has most friends ut

In President Roosevelt's fight with the
stand-patters he has lost the first bout.
We were informed by the newspaper
dispatches that the president was going
to recommend tariff revision. The an
nouncement caused a commotion among
the manufacturers and pressure was at
once applied. AS the time approached
for the message we were informed that
the president had decided not to refer
to the matter in the message but to deal
with it later in a special message.
Now we are informed that the president
has decided not to call any special ses-
sion of congress, which means that the
matter goes over till next fall. By that
time the manufacturers hope to stem
the tide and prevent any consideration
of the tariff question. While they would
have little to fear from the appointment
OF a commission, still they probably
think it better to exercise the influence
that they have to prevent any stirring
up of the question. Not being able to
defend the present schedules they do
not want the matter discussed, and in
their first bout with the president they
have scored a victory. How will it be
with the effort to amend the interstate
commerce commission? Willfhe railroad
managers be as successful as the manu-
facturers seem to have been?

IT has been held by the United Stat

IT has been held by the United States
court that a railroad ticket is good until
used. Six years ago a woman bought a
return ticket on the Erie railroad for
which she paid one dollar. She did not
use the return part of it until recently,
but when she presented it to the con-
ductor he refused to accept it and put
her off the train. She sued and got a
judgment for $1,000. The case was
carried to the higher court, and that
tribunal ruled that the purchaser had
paid full fare for a ride to her own con-
v%enience.

THE figures of paid attendance at the
st. Louis worlds fair have now for tho
first time been made public, and they
show that the free admissions at St.
Louis formed even a larger percentage
OF the total than they did at Chicago in
1893. The total admissions at Chicago
were 2 ,539,521 of which 6,059,38O were
free, leaving 21,48O,14l paid. At St.
Louis the total admissions were 1884,
1855, of which 6,s9o,239 were free, leaving
l2,8O4,616 paid. In other words, ST..
Louis collected half-dollars from only go
per cent, as many people as Chicago
did.
