OUR GREATEST RESOURCE.

What shall we do with the 50,0OO,-
600 Of additional population that we
must house and care for within the
next 20 years? was a question ably
discussed by President James ]. Hill
In his labor day address, and the an
swer was that the teeming millions
should leave the city for the country.
and wrest their bread from Mother
Earth.
Our greatest resource lies In the pro-
auctivity of the soil. Only one-half
Of the land in private ownership is
now titled, and that tillage does not
produce one-half Of what the land
might be made to yield without losing
an atom OF fertility. The problem of
the future Is the conservation of the
productivity Of the SOIL Science has
successfully demonstrated the fact
that Old Mother Earth will not wear
cut. but will rise renewed with each
successive year to minister to the
wants Of her children.
The man on the farm Is the master
Of himself and his destiny. To him
we must turn when the pressure of
additional population comes and labor
and sustinance for the rapidly ac-
STIMULATING millions must come from
Increased agricultural activity. At
present we are only scratching the soil
and wasting its substance, but the
problem of the future is intelligent
agriculture and the marvels vet TO be
discovered In the food bearing ca
pacity of the earth are past human
apprehension.
In Japan poulation of $4,000, 900
Is supported on 10000 cultivated
square miles. From two and seven
tenths acres in the suburbs of Paris

of vegetables. and market gardner

Believing that it is impossible to
head off the Bryan boom and that the
"Commoner" is the inevitable candi
date of the democratic party in 1908,
Watterson has announced that he will
begin a campaign of education, max
ing a fight against government own
ership of railroads as proposed by
Bryan and hoping to convince Bryan
or at least the democratic party that
the plan would be ruinous to the
country. Watterson evidently does
not consider Bryan safe and sane or
he would not begin so early to put on
the brakes A candidate that needs
a balance wheel is not exactly in the
desirable class. Bryan is also in the
education business and is seeking to
explain his new propaganda to the
doubling democrats.

November Smart Set"

''rhe Conflict" by Emma Wolf which is the novelette, opening the November number of the Smart Set, is a story new in plot and treatment. It concerns the two distinct personalities which the heroine d young married woman, discov- CTS that she possesses. Her wonderful alter ego is encouraged and developed by her, and the strange complication which results is logically and skillfully brought about.
 Jack London contributes good story to brimful of interest. It is called "A Wicked Woman" Inez Haynes Gilmore has a real ghost-story, "The Dead-Line, !" which will create a discussion. Dorothea Deakin, in "Lancelot," tells q little story of married life, and Grace MacGowan Cooke's strong tale of the Tennessee mountains. called "Out of Nazareth" :" makes fine reading. ''rhe Helpmeet," by Mary Tracy Earle, is a psychological study, and "The Beauty of the Law by Ellis Parker Butler, is one of the fun niest stories of the year. Other fiction writers are Harriet Gaylord, Ward Clark, Katherine Metcalf Roof, J. J. Bell, Amos DeLany, and Arthur Stanley Wheeler.
 The essay is by Richard Le Gallienne, whose name is d guarantee of everything that is beautiful and truly literary. It k entitled "The World and the Lover. !" and while the authors point of view may not meet with every reader'S approval, there is no gafnsaying his clever hand ling of a universally interesting theme.
 Poems by favorte writers are in evil dence, and the humor Is up to the smart Sets standard

was telling his friend about @ hunting trip he had recently taken.
 "A half minute before leaving time Brown casually glanced at his watch, said goodnight to his friend, empted the ashes from his pipe, put the pipe in his pocket and leisurely swung himself into the cab. He adjusted the seat cushion, gave a swift glance over the cab, and a second before S:5b glanced back at the conductor for the signal. The conductor waved his hand. and then Brown woke up
 Trains usually run at a moderate speed uptil after the city limits are passed but Brown had orders to make all the speed possible from the start, and as he grasped the lever and jerked it back the great dri- vers spun around until sheets of flame were ground from the rails The heavy train responded, and we moved out of the station.
 '"The engine rattled over the frogs of the switches, steadily gaining in speed, until the city limits were passed. Then Brown settled himself comfortably in his seat and pulled the lever back to the last notch The engine responded like thor oughbred With his eyes on the track ahead. the engineer said not a word, and even if he had, nothing could have been heard in the pounding and rattling of the neaNy traln over lnp rdllS. fIdCh III lHo coaches l heard afterwards, the passen- gers were holding on to the seats and wondering if the train were running away or the engineer mad gone crazy.
 'The fireman worked like demon and kept the steam at over two hundred. Through towns and villages we shrieked and rushed; ghos.ly-looking farm houses sprang up and disappeared in a blur; round curves that almost threw me out of the firemans window as the engine ca reened. Operators along the line were flashing the news back that we were pass ling on time. All this time l was tense with excitement, but Brown sat as im- movable a Sphinx

SOME EXPERIENCES OF
 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS

"In times of peace it is doubtful if the lives of as many persons are daily en- trusted to the care of any one man as there are to the locomotive engineer" said a Birmingham railroad man last night. "Yet 1t Is rare, indeed, that acci- dents or death are due to the fault negligence of these knights of the throt- tle'
 'An analysis of the wrecks that have occurred on railroads within the past few years, or for the entire time since rail- roads have been in operation for that mat ter, will show that they were due to the mistakes of others or to circumstances over which the engineer did not have, and in the nature of things, could have had no control.
 Being only mortal, they naturally make mistakes, and these mistakes sometimes result in accident and death. Occasionally an engineer will fall asleep while on duty and run past a danger signal, will miseon- strue orders, or, in rare cases, when left entirely to his own judgment, will take chances that turn out badly But these cases are rare indeed, and in almost every case can be traced to overwork or ill., ness.
 And there are few, if any, trades or professions tha5 call for the constant eX- ercise of greater nerve, sounder judgment and the possession of more of what is commonly called horse sense.'
 Good engineers are both born and made. A man to be good engineer must have been born with certain qualities, physical and mental, and these qualities must be developed by experience before he can become the ideal engineer to whom the lives of thousands of persons and much valuable property may be entrusted with a reasonable certainty that no mat ter what contingencies may arise, he will do all, and do it in the right way and at the precise moment of time necessary to protect to the utmost the lives and prop erty in his keeping.
 "A good engineer should never become excited, should never lose his head, and seldom does. No matter what is before him or what chances he may be calfed upon to take, he should meet it with calm ness, even though this condition may be the calmness of despair.
 Did you ever watch a train as it was about to pull out of station? The people, passengers and station officials. seem to be in a state of highly nervous excite ment except the engineer. He is usually so calm and unconcerned as to appear even stolid. But beneath this calm exte- ror he Is alert and watchful waiting for the signal to put the great engine in mo- tion.
 1T recall an incident that illustrates what I mean. Not many years ago one of the trunk lines that runs through Br- mingham was anxious to secure a con-
