There is a movement on foot for q
the S5th birthday anniversary Of the
welIknOwn writer of popular hymns.
Mrs. Frances Jan Van Alstyne, COM
monty known rs Fanny Crosby. Mrs.
Van Alstyne has written over 5000
hymns of joyful, praise and happy
songs. many of which have passed into
almost universal use and the remark
able thing about her life story is that
she has been blind from birth. "Safe
in the Arms of Jesus" Jesus Keep Me
Near the Cross "Only Il Peam of Sun
shine. and Jesus the Water of Life
Will Give" are some of her best known
hymns. while There's Music in the
Air" ami Hazel DELL are among the
most popular of her songs. She has
written several volumes of poems in
addition to a great amount of verse
native of New York. but has lived for
many years in Bridgeport. Conn. The
power of her hymns and songs lies
largely in their simplicity and their
optimism. Their influence for good
in the world cannot be measured and
the blind woman who has brought light
into So many lives deserves all the
honors that can be paid her in her de-
Ginning years.

A remarkable transaction in flour,
reported in Il Boston paper demon-
stratcs that the home bread demand
has pressed close upon the home wheat
supply in this country during the past
six months. Last year when wheat
was comparatively low, a consignment
of AZ. 600 sacks of flour was shipped
from Tacoma, on the Pacific coast. by
sail vessel to Liverpool. When. after
making its SLOW trip around the Horn,
the flour finally reached Liverpool the
price of flour in this country had adj
vancei SO greatly that the Liverpool
consi%uee r2shipped the flour to Bos-
ton and made profit after paying
freight on both ocean trips. The les
son "f this incident seems to be that,
except i'll years when our wheat crop is
far above the average, we have
reached the point where consumption
and production in wheat balance each
other.

This is a pretty busy week for the
President in the line of public address,
es. On Sunday he delivered before the
American Tract Society in Washington
an admirable address on our duty to
emigrants: on Tuesday he addressed
the National Congress of Mothers
which held it's annual session In the
same city; and on Friday he will speak
ering of Irish societies in New York
city. The President finds time from
his many exacting public duties to de-
liver a large number of such addresses
as these, and the best thing about it is
that he has something to say and says
it well on each occasion. Each adj
dress must require no little time i'm it's
preparation, and so broad is the Presi-
dents scholarship. SO wide his range
of sympathies. and so ready his COM
clothe his thoughts that the addresses
are always worth reading and pre-
serving. His appreciation of mother
hood and womanhood in his address.
Tuesday, was one of the finest things
in this line ever uttered. The wo-
men of our country have always found
much to admire in the manly virtues Of
Theodore Roosevelt, who makes his
own nome life model before the
world. but after his appreciation OF
Tuesday, and his earnest tribute to the

Agricultural IaborerS IN 6"g'a"o'
The British government has sent the
famous writer. II. Rider Haggard, to
this country TO investigate the agricui-
tural conditions, and particularly the
work done along agricultural lines by
municipalities md ;hiianthropic Or
ganizations in behalf OF the poor Of
our cities. British agriculture has
been in a decline in recent years. and
the official government report as to
the earnings and expenditures of agri-
cultural laborers i'm the United King
dom makes sorry exhibit. These fig
ures were published in the Spectator. a
free trade Journal, by tie way. and
are republished in the Philadelphia
average pay OF such a worker in 1902
was $4.35 week, and on that he had
to support himself and family, while il,
Ireland the average pay was $2.72 a
week. The report states that there has
been no particular change since 1902.
1t is not surprising under those cir
cumstanccs that thu number of agri-
cultural labOrers in England and Wales
was only 609.l0j in 1901, as compared
with 1.1l0.3l1 in 1851.
When their necessary expenditures
for food are considered the "Specta-

clear. unfortunately how the aslicul-
tural ldborer manages to live The
| truth is they cannot live decently in
England, which g on. reason why they
| have decreased SO rapidly, notwith-
standing the Increased demand for
farm products. How the Irish worker
manages to support u FAMILY on ST.
| a week is not clear. ana even the Gov
! erment report states tfat Without
the opportunity Of getting some land a
farm laborer il Ireland must have
great difficulty in making both ends
| meet" Any person who has travelled
| in ireland and witness I'll the terrible
poverty of these lab"rcrS can appre-
ciate their desire to elnigrate. But in
the great INTEGRITY Of cases they have
| distance.
The spectator asserts that the main
cause OF the itc line in the number of
agricultural labcrers cirricyed is the
growth Of the :nanuiaC ,Cring industry.
and that a further increase in the de-
mand for manufacturing labor means
| a corresponding increase in the agri-
cultural exodus. The Philadelphia
Press points out that this is a mos
| actcristic free trade argument. Tie
more men there are employed in manr-
| featuring the crater the demand for
| farm products. That demand must be
met by Increased production at home
| Or by increased impoltations. There
| has been an enormous increase iii
manufacturing in the United States.
and also still greater increase in the
production Of tarm products. Says the
| Press: The SAME thing would be true
of any country under a protective
tariff. prOviling there was land enough
to sustain the population. But Their.
| is not i'll Great ;;ritain. and under free
| trade agriculture declines, starvation

dition that Cannot be changed. Th.

manufacturing. and they cannot bea"
| any increase in the ost of food. and
without such increase. apparently, the
| decline Of agriculture in Great Britain
will continue"

THE FIGHT is ON.

The attempt of the railroad trust TO
pack the Interstate Commerce Com
mission convention called in Chicago
Thursday and still in session, only goes
to show how desperate the transportation
companies are in their desire to block
n legislation tending to force them to
be just. The scene enacted in Chicago
will only tend to make the 5000 900 of
people behind President Roosevelt more
determined than ever to see to 1t that
the railroads are forced to ray some lit
tie respect to the rights - patrons OF
their roads. 1t will simply serve to
bring the fight nearer 20 the people, and
with sue a leader as is Pres dent
Roosevelt the combined wealth Of the
corporations will be taught a lesson that
1t can't loot and bully the nation into
paying more for the services of a com
mon carrier than that service is worth.
The railroads cou d not have done any
thing more short-sighted thar to at
tempt to pack the convention. The fight
is on and Roosevelt and the people will
win it If the people are true to them
selves.

CREEK. AND INDIAN CORN.

Mind development and mind training
NAV be accomplished as well by means
languages. The study of Greek, says
Professor Bailey of Cornell, is no more
a proper means of education than is the
study of Indian corn-the mind may be
developed by means of either one-and
classics and calculus are no more edu-
cational than are machines and pota-
toes.
The school garden work at Groton be-
gins with the simple things which natur-
ally interest a childish mind, and the
first thing they know the youngsters are
learning while they think they are play
ing. Then in the next step the interest
in the work takes hold of them and they
begin to feel a pride and proprietorsh p
III dolAo NiAh6o oh4 accompanying ~
suits which grown-up people do. The
wonder of the creative idea gets hold Of
the children. They plant a seed in the
spring. 1t comes up, begins to grow.
enlarges rapidly. and before they have
time to get tired it is ripe and ready to
harvest and eat. They have made it.
1t is the product of their work.
If it is a wonderful thing to the ma
ture mind that nan can bend the forces
of nature to his intelligent will and pant
and reap, that out of the same ground
will spring a dozen different crops, all
useful and beautiful, how much more
amazing must it be to the youthful,
growing mind.
