stitute the greatest human problem Of
the ages. Gen. Booth, as head OF the
Salvation Army, has issued q remark
able appeal for help in carrying out a
scheme he has evolved for dealing
with the idleness and distress OF the
congested cities. The two chief rene
dies he proposes are: Land COLOMBIA
ton and emigration. The millions OF
the great cities, who from lack of
force or lack of ambition are unable
to hold their own in the keen strife for
existence In crowded communities. he
would transport to the open country
or to less densely populated lands.
Contact with natures boundless re-
sources, 1t is hoped, will quicken the
aspirations and stimulate the conf
dence upon which success depends.
1t is a proposition to do on world
wide scale what the Salvation Army
United States. The idea upon which
were founded the farm colonies In
Ohio, Colorado and California Is en-
.larged to embrace Canada and Aus
tralia for the relief of the poor of Eng

call for che Transforming touch of

man crowded down in the congestion
Of big cities calls for the neglected
land. Tt IKE 80 landless man to the
manless land, though oceans intervene,
is the 90 k which Gen. Booth is now
under Il Three large steamers
have been chartered to sail from Lon
don, LivNA~~ol and Glasgow early
next spung, bearing to Canada their
freight Of hopeful thousands, helped
to chance to lead productive and
happy lives. In the scheme there is
no charity, in the common meaning OF
the word. Men are loaned money for
their passage and to buy stock and i'm
plements. 1t must be paid back at
fixed time, and the land chosen must
be paid for in installments. Nothing
is actually given them except oppor-
tunity to help themselves. Already
the British government has provided
some assistance. The government of
New Zealand has adopted some such
plan. The late Senator Hoar, a couple
of years ago. introduced a bill In Con-
gress to create a national fund for
such use In relieving the congestion
OF cities and populating the lands OF
the West. 1t is movement that had
humble beginning, but is to-day
commanding the attention OF the great
est philanthropists and statesmen m
the world.

BALFOUR And CABINET RESIGN
King Edward Accepts Same and In
structs Campbell-Bannerman
for Form New Cabinet.

London, Dec 5.-The political crisis
in the United Kingdom has reached a
climax Arthur J. Balfour, the pre-
mier, has formerly eneered the resig-
nations of himself and the members of
his cabinet TO King Edward, who ac-
cepted them. His majesty has invited
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman to an
interview, when he will offel him the
mission of forming new cabinet. Sir
Henry will accept the task, and within
few days a new government will be
formed
1t may be stated as certain that Eord
Rosebery will be entirely fingered in
the makeup Of the cabinet and that
John Morley will be one of the chief
advisers Of Sir Henry in drawing up
the list of his official family, which
will be presented to his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered like
ly to 20 TO the Indian office, and it is
probable that Herbert Henry Asquith
will be chancellor Of the exchequer.
The foreign affairs portfolio will go
either to Lord Elgin or Sir Edward
Grey, though the latter is considered
likely to be made secretary of the colo
MES.
One thing is certain-that Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman has explained
his attitude on home rule for Ireland
to those liberal leaders who are known
to be opposed TO home rule on the lines
of the last bills introduced in parlia-
ment. Since his speech at Stirling,
which raised such fulore, Sir Henry
has not made any statement, but it is
confidently asserted in the liberal clubs
that he is ready with a policy which
will secure the adhesion of the British
nationalists, and at the same time
avoid raising the issue of one of the
prominent planks in his platform.
There is some uncertainty as to when
the dissolution of parliament will be
effective, but it is not considered prob
able until after the new year.
An interesting feature of the politi-
cal situation is the prospect of closer
alliance between the Irish and the
labor parties in the new parliament.
James Keir Hardie, the socialist and
independent member, in a political
speech tonight frankly invited such an
alliance. He pointed out that 40 labor
members combined with 70 Irish MEM
bers would provide a voting strength
which no government, however strong,
could afford to ignore.

courtesy, he rushed forward to assist
her. That done, he grasped her hand

you are the freshest somebody I've
seen In these parts" The President

Students OF life insurance revela-
lions In New York are involved In a
discussion as to whether the briber
or the bribed is the more blameworthy
for the part that corruption has played
In the production OF legislation favor
able to great corporations In New York
or In the strangulation of pending
measures the enactment OF which
would jeopardize the interests OF those
organizations. One point has been
made very clear, and that Is the con-
tempt which the bride giver holds for
his victim. The men who give brides
and those who accept them may carry
on their debate to their hearts con-
tent, and the public will not be innu-
enced by the award OF honors that
may result from the discussion. The
average American citizen, with bis re-
spect for the law and his love OF hon
est dealing, will make no choice be-
tween the briber and the bribed. He
detests them equally.

The president Of bank. when asked
by young clerk how he could dis
unguish bad bills from good ones, said,
Get acquainted with the good bills,
and you will recognize bad bills at
sight" The principle on which this
advice is based is so sound that II
ought to be more widely applied in
practice. When one knows all there
is to know about irst-grade corn or
wheat or potatoes or sheep or cotton,
he can detect at sight everything that
does not come up to the standard.
One who is fully occupied doing the
right thing will have no difficulty in
refraining from the wrong.
