And their load will be lightened,

Depew and his friends publicly clean
ed up scandal. They made public
confession of the injury done and pub
lie restitution. The public is charit-

abate as they may deserve hereafter.
The moral is plain for men who may

Weed Out tits Bad Traits of Character with
Much More Care than You Would the
Obnoxious Weeds that Grow
in Your Gardens.

M ANY parents - principally male
INl parents-beleve in engendering
spirit of self reliance in their
boys by permitting them to exercise a
more or less elastic Freedom in the
choice of panions, hours, habits and
places of amusement. This policy
which is growing habit among fathers
bears certain resemblance to the
tactics pursued by Indian fathers on
Puget sound twenty-five years ago
when they compelled Young sons to
spend nights alone in the woods for the
purpose of moulding them into strong
brave warriors.
parental censorship is raised in this
manner the freedom becomes dangerous
Bows are seldom lsvel-headed enough
to resist anything that appeals to them
and generally they are attracted by the
very thinga most injurious to their
moral health.
Then again, youth is the rich ground
where habit takes root, the virginity
of the soil causing a rapid growth,
which, if it springs from bad seed,
soon chokes out the more sensitive
plants so carefully nourished in the
home training garden. More coarse
weeds than sturdy, beautiful blossoms
spring up in the path of juvenile free
dom. Weeds grow everywhere, and
without care, but constant cultivation
is necessary in producing beauty in
vegetation or character.
ESelf-reliapce may be planted in the
heart of youth without endangering his
moral future Instead OF allowing him
full sway ia the choice of habits, it is
the parents duty to refrain final judg-
mept, exercising it with unilinching
strength when necessity demands.
When youth enters into healthful out
of.door pastimes, self reliance cannot
fail to arrive Football, baseball, ten

Today A Question That Ought to Be
Solbed and the Error Corrected Before
The Boy has Dcsensrated Into
Reckless Worthless HoodIum.

THE people of this country must
guard agains. hOOdlumism or it,
will breed endless trouble and
make premature gray hairs;
WHETHER we like it or MOTT is a
fact that Hoodlumism is well planted in
the cities of the United States and is
growing with great rapidity.
AS applied and generally understood
the world "Hoodlumism" consists in
committing small acts of depreciation
upon property-tearing down fences or
enclosures of important areas-dese~
Grating premises -attaching wires to-
front door knobs and gate posts, and in
various WAYS committing unlawful acts
of a destructive nature.
AS cities grow and multiply, Hood
lumism seems also to grow and multi
ply-ard never fails to take advantage
of every opportunity to join in any UNI
lawful proceedings.
If it happens that a strike among
workmen occurs in any city, and any
disturbance arises 10y reason of such
strike-at least seventyfive per cent OF
the crowd and seventy-fve per cent OF
The racket made, and if damages occur
seventy-five per cent of that are all
brought about through the efforts and
the butting in of Iioodlums.
Indeed, this statement Is so true that
in more than fifty strikes in the United
states in the last ten years HoOdum-
ism has been at the bottom of all the
disaster which has occurred.
Now why is it that American boys
and young men are given to commit.
ing such unlawful acts as lead to a con.
clusion that those engaged therein are
Hoodlums and often in the very worst
sense of the word?
Are the children of American pa
rents having greater opportunities than
are to be found in almost any other
country, to be influenced by evil rather
than good by reason OF our Americ;
conditions?

some of our American youth deserve

AIHEN the people learn their duty
" to the press and stand by 1t
rather than condemn it, hall
the battle is won at the out start.
1t is popular belief that scandal would
DO less injury if kept out of the pubic
press than the morbid details produced
on unsophisticated minds.
1t has been held by most reputable
publishers that any scandal involving
heretofore reputable parties ought to
be ventilated for the benefit OF society
and some publishers 90 so far as to say
that even those engaged as principals
in the scandal may be benefited by pub
licity.
Anyhow, The Chicago Record Herald
is responsible for the following touch
Ing financial scandal that was rentl-
lated months ago in New York city.
1t says:
One of the minor scandals which
made up the Equitable scandal was the
loan made in January, lS9S, by the
Equitable, with the approval OF the
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew as an Eqult-
able director, of $3.50, 600 held in trust
Tor widows and orphans to a land spec
ulating corporation in which Senator
Dspew was interested. The property
on which the loan was made was valued
In 1901 at only 100000, and was not
Instantly worth even that much.
"Of course, this loan might have
been only bad Judgment on the part OF
Senator Depew and other Equita bic
director. But when the facts leaked
out the public declined so to regard II
and made many unkind remarks
however, these remarks, grievous ana
unjust as they seemed to the men IN
Volved, were beneficial to the widows
and orphans whose money was at stake.

ROCKY FORD MELONS.

AS Is well known, a melon OF very
superior quality and flavor Is produced
In limited area of the Arkansas river
valley, which includes Rocky Ford,
Colo. This melon has built up for itself
a reputation on its merits and is In
great demand all over the country.
There is some peculiar quality or prop
erty connected with the soil of that re-
gion which permits Of the growing Of
this little nutmeg melon In its greatest
perfection. The large profits which have
accrued in the growing of this melon
have tempted many other localities to
enter upon its production, in doing
which they succeeded in growing a
melon which looks exactly like the
Rocky Ford, but which is utterly want
ing in it's fine flavor and quality. The
markets of the country are flooded
with these bogus Rocky Ford melons,
while the genuine Rock ford is retailed
in our cities at the time this article is
written at as high a price as % cents
apiece. The people are quick to catch
on to schemes of this character, and
men who are engaged in trying to
raise Rocky Ford melons in Iowa and
Missouri might as well get out of the
business.

CHEAP FARMS IN TEXAS.

On the first of next month Texas Is
to put on sale tract of land twice the
size Of Connecticut. comprising in all
about 100000 acres. This land is
varied in quality-grain and rice land,
cotton, sugar, fruit land, also land be-
meath the surface of which are found
oil and minerals. The territory to be
disposed Of is part of the school do
main. 1t is understood that this sale
is to be no paradise for grafters and
land grabbers, as is customary in the
disposal of large tracts of land. Texas
is after homeseekers and farmers. and
with this In view only 100 acres will
be sold to any one person and must
be occupied within ninety days from
date Of sale. The terms OF purchase
are easy, being minimum price of 81
per acre, one-fortieth Of which is 10

will be given on the remainder. This

CLEARING THE WOODLAND FARM.

A woodland farm. one from which
the best of the timber has been re-
moved, can often be bought 1t a low
price. Such a farm is usually covered
with stumps, brush and scattering
trees too worthless to use for lumber,
cord wood or railway ties. We are
asked as to the most economical meth
cd of clearing up and subduiLg such
a farm with the end in view of max
ing it good pasture or arabic land.
The question of time allowed for this
work cuts a big figure. If the land
must be cleared as soon as possible,
the old expensive and laborious plan
of brushing, burning and stump pull
ing must be resorted to, but if one is
not in hurry and can wait few
years there is a much easier and far
less expensive way. This Is by stock
ing or pasturing the tract with cattle
and sheep for a few years, the only
cutting and removal of the young and
growing trees. Such land should be
seeded down with tame grasses-tim-
othy and white and red clover-and be
heavily pastured-that is, enough stock
should be run on the land to keep it
closely fed off, Used in this manner
about ten years there will be not much
left on 1t to prevent its cultivation
save some stumps, which, with the ex-
ception Of the conifers, will have so
decayed that they may be very easily
removed. We have found that to log,
burn and clear such land in one year
will cost not far from $25 per acre, or
twice what such land may be bought
for. In the other way this cost Of
clearing is mostly eliminated and the
land made to return a good rate of
interest on the Investment from the
start

WILL CORN BE CHEAP AGAIN,

We are asked whether it is likely
that the western country will ever
have to meet condition again where
corn will sell for II or Is cents per
bushel. We think not. The days of
cheap corn are past. The value Of corn
as food for both man and beast is
becoming SO well understood in for
eign countries that whenever the price
gets down below 40 cents at New York
there Immediately springs up very
large export demand for the cereal
New uses are constantly being found
for this valuable corn plant, and each
year some new product is being
evolved from it, and it today serves
as a raw material out of which Is
sites and luxuries for use of the world
at large. We regard any soil which
with proper care will produce sixty
bushels Of corn to the acre as really
the most valuable agricultural land
that we have in the United States.
with the Improvement Of not only the
variety Of corn raised, but also in con-
nection with better methods and in
creasing yields. The time is coming.
and is not far away either, when
man will be ashamed to admit that he
has raised crop of thirty-three BUSH
els Of corn to the acre, and yet this is
represented as the average yield of
some Of thescorn growing states. When
we consider that 1t is possible for an
acre Of ground properly treated to pro-
duce 200 bushels of corn, it would
seem as though there were marvellous
opportunities for the enterprising corn
grower to improve his present meth
DDS.
