British Revival of Farming.

ENGLISH newspapers and reviews betray the
H fact that John Bull S pride has been touched:
as well as his pocketbook, by his utter dependence
on other sections for food supply. A movement is
on to stimulate agriculture scientific principles
and not only reclaim lands that have been aban-
doned to grazing, but increase the yield per acre,
so that the farmers of Great Britain may
somewhere near supplying home wants. This work
is being fostered by the wealthy landowners, and
encouraged by the manufacturers and commercial
x 4~ .#,-~-s *@%=@5*=.*
Land has been allowed to go out Of cultivation
because the medieval methods employed did not
pay, until England faces famine IN food supply
If once cut off from commerce with the rest OF the
world It is not so much the fear Of invasion that
leads the Englishman to keep his navy ahead Of
any in the world. It is dread of being isolated IN
time Of war from regular sources OF food supply.
Wheat and flour for England are drawn from every
exporting country Of the world, from India, Aus
tralia, Russia, Argentina, Canada and the United
States. Coarse grains imported from Russia
and dressed meat from America.
England can never hope to become wholly indie
pendent, but the present condition is without ex-
scuse and the agitation for reform in agriculture
is beginning to show results Lands are being re-
claimed by the use Of scientific fertilizers, crop
rotation deep ploughing and improved machinery.
To a large extent, also, grazing lands are being
turned into field crops English mutton is staple
article and important factor in the food supply,
but it is an expensive luxury under the conditions.
One acre Of cultivated land will produce as much
human food as three acres or four, devoted to
pasture Strangely enough, agriculture as a science
is in more backward condition in old England than
It is in America, where until now there has been
more than enough land to go around. Our schools
Of agriculture our farmers institutes and our farm
journals are keeping thousands of progressive
farmers abreast Of the latest development in the

Reli gious Mergers.

THE preliminary steps have been taken for the
consolidation of the Congregational, Methodist
Protestant and United Brethren churches. AT a
recent conference for that purpose eminent in
the different denominations such DR.. Washington
GLADDEN., President Lewis Of Westminster college of
Maryland, and Bishop Weekly Of the United
Brethren church, the originator Of this religious
merger, laid foundation for what promises to be
successful organic union Wipng out denominational
distinctions for the sake Of emphasizing Christian
essentials and greater efficiency in Christian effort
This movement is interesting sign of the
times While new isects new schools and new Shades
of thought develop from time to time in the religious
world, the tendency among the leading religious
bodies is toward union Of effort if not of union in
organization Men of different denominations
coming to realize that the people Of other religious
names hold substantially the same religious. views,
are doing the same work, following the same leader,
and are to be co-operated with rather than COM
peted with In other Words the army Of the Lord is
coming to realize the necessity Of being well
ganlzed and working together as efficiently as any
other army.
This does not mean that there will not be differ
ent companies and regiments and battahons, but
that these various divisions will be martaled and
directed in their effort for one common purpose,
with confidence and reliance in each other. The
time may never come-perhaps ought not to come
when all men will agree In all manner OF details,
especially as to the forms Of organization and gov
eminent or even as to matters Of faith It is I'M
reasonable to expect minds which bound to
differ other subjects to be of one opinion in all
respects when it comes to religion but it is never
theless true that there marked tendency toward
cooperation in action and harmony in belief
The remarkable team work so to speak, Of the
churches in Minneapolis during the recent Chapman
meetings is of the best instances ever afforded
of the practicability of such cooperation and of
the beneficial results that naturally follow. To the
extent that spirituality is developed in the lives
of the membership, in that degree will it be easy
and possible to effect such harmony and co-opera-
tion

Modern Plays as Literature.

THE reading public of America is awaking to
the fact that a good play is likely to prove
good reading, and may furnish keener zest than
the novel. The dramatic works Of foreign play
wrights selling by thousands, not only Ibsen,
but Sudermann; Rostand and d Annunzio. English
dramatists Of the front rank are taking advantage
OF this growing taste and publishing their plays
Editions Of Pnero, Augustus Thomas and Clyde
Fitch have been placed on the Market and have
achieved good sales. S15a* .
This revival of the play as literature is the topic
ofsinteresting comment by Brander Matthews in the
North American Review, He halls it with approval,
not only for its indueneeaon the drama, but from
the. standpoint of the reading public. The best
drama is more stimulating than the novel. It re-
quires imagination to visualize the play and con
struct situations from bare dialogue. The effort
itself may furnish keen. pleasure. The novel sup
plies everything and leaves little o. nothing for the
reader to do sand therefore most novels Sare posi-
lively enervatng in theirainfuence Oh the intellect
The drama is a nobler form Of literature, at its
best, and is worth any ones while to read both
for pleasure and profit. .}s#s
All this applies Of course, to the small percent
age Of plays that really literature. Many of
our most successful actDgssplays depend on action
rather than the quality Of the lines, and melo-
dramas Of course, will not bear reading at all.
Even the best plays require careful editing and
revision from stage manuscripts, to- make them
readable for the public. There is reason, however,
in the revival Of reading plays. There is reason
why modern drama of literary quality should
confne it's influence to the theater-going fraction
of the people. When beauty Of form and imagery
distinguish the paywright's work, it is worthy Of
permanent place The spectator, as Dumas said
give only success; it is the reader who confers
renown.

Professor Edward A. Ross of the University of
Nebraska uses the term F'the American breed' to
describe what he calls distinct type Of mantle
restless strenuous people 50 different from the easy
going types of Europe. There are reasons why our
immigrants should become nervous and energetic in
one or two generations, but Professor Ross seems to
think that the restlessness is not acquired here, but
is the reason why these types left Europe. America
is therefore wedding out the energetic folks from
Europe-they> selected, venturesome natures and
constitute type Whatever the reason is, the type
is fairly distinct and the chances are that much of
prosperity is due partly to our energy and not
altogether to our tariff. ~ sEE

The Two Americas.

N7E are accustomed to think Of the Anglo
" Saxon dominance of this hemisphere as
complete But it is not well to ignore the Spanish
speaking peoples growing up to the south of us.
Hubert M. Skinner in the National Magazine; says:
The Spanish speaking world is much larger than
the Frenchspeakng, and nearly as large as the Ger
man-speaking. There are perhaps fifty millions of
people in all who make of the French language,
and seventy millions, all told who speak German in
of its FORMS There probably sixty-fve mil
lions or who speak Spanish; and if we include
with them those who use the closely related Portu-
guese the number will be about eighty five millions
In this neo-Spanish world the birthrate is larger
than that Of the United States.
Buenos Aires, in the Argentine Republic, is city
Of million people, twice the size Of Madrid. Its
warehouses, elevators and Wnarves are the scene Of
remarkable activity. It exports yearly about lOO-
100000 bushels Of wheat.
It will be impossible to absorb this race, for
the racial element is persistent in it. Mexico has
made good as nation and Chile and Argentine
are not far, if any, behind her.
The future will find on this continent two power
full race Municipalities face to face. There is no
reason why they should not be friends and work to-
gether for the good Of all, each in its own sphere

State Development as Party Policy.

= Icy
THE suggestion Of Mr.. Erwin Of ST Cloud thru
The j ournal,a few days ago, that state
development be of the policies to which the
republican party should commit itself IN the next
campaign, has attracted considerable attention and
brings out warm Endorsement today from T. B.
Roberts of Ottertai county. Mr.. Roberts writes
particularly to protest against the view set out by
the st. Cloud JournaPress that the proposal should
not be adopted because there is political advan-
tages to be gained by doing so, since both parties
would favor the same thing.
1t doesn't make any difference if both parties
do finally see the advantage, the political wisdom
of adopting and carrying out policy of state de-
velopment; it is a very narrow, partlzan view to
discard the suggestion because it will not yield
political capital It isn't the yielding of political
capital that is wanted. It is matter of compare
tive unimportance whether the republican party
the democratic party gets the most credit out OF
adopting policy of that kind. The matter Of real
concern is the development Of sentiment far and
wide in favor of well-drected and industrious eff
fort to promote the general interests of the COM
monwealth
It is, as Mr.. Roberts says, deplorable fact that
the tide of immigration is sweeping over Minnesota
without comforting fair measure OF substantial
benefit. Our population is increasing very slowly
by comparison with other sections Of the west. Our
natural resources are being developed with CORE
spending slowness We need people; we need money
to make Minnesota what it ought to be in the agri
cultural world; but it has been nobodys business
from time immemorial to acquaint the public with
what have to offer in the way of cheap and pro-
ductive lands.
The situation in Minnesota is not unlike that Of
Missouri, which for decades was crossed by thou
sands tens Of thousands and hundreds of thou
sands Of settlers bound for Kansas and the south
west, who thought to look at the richer soils,
the better climate, the abundance of timber and
coal which Missouri possesses. This neglect of Mis-
souri, was attributed to general public ignorance as
to what Missouri had to offer to the intending set
tier and the neglect of the people of Missouri to
let the resources Of that state be known. We are
undergoing something of the same process in this
state, and it is high time to wake up to the fact
( that it is costing Minnesota heavily in retarded
development. e.. T.. .s...-
49, We cannot conceive Of anything which will pro-
mote the success of political party in this state
more certainly than the adoption Of policy OF
practical and aggressive state development thru the
promotion of immigration and of intelligent
knowledge Of what this state has to offer to the in
tending settler. .@% =

Doom of the Fly Sounded.

THE housefy has long been recognized as scav-
Il enger but in his work Of removing filth and
disease-nfected matter he sometimes stops and
steps on food that is to be used later on by human
beings On this food, whether in the grocery store
OF in the house, he leaves tracks filled with disease
germs. For this the fly, as well as the mos
quito, is recognized as an enemy to man. There are
better ways Of removing filth than to wait for the
fly to act. s., &. ID " 49,. --.Szss H. s..- Ia -
The city of Paris has started in earnest to make
a campaign against this pest Of civilization. The
way to stamp him out is not to hit him with news
paper, but to prevent his breeding. female lily
has a capacity for infinite multiplication if she can
find suitable places for Matching her eggs. These
are manure heaps, drains and cesspools. A barn
+ yard OF livery stable yard with manure exposed
is nursery of flies. y -.
In the Paris experiments last year the most
successful results obtained in preventing flies breed
ing were secured by the use Of raw petroleum or
raw schst OIL the residue Of Installations. This oil
poured into the semi Liquid breeding places of flies
will form strata of oil that will destroy all larvae.
In the case of manure heaps, the oil mixed with
EARTH lime and fossil phosphates is sprinkled over
ali sources which the flies would naturally SEEK and
the production of flies does not then take place.
Before many decades public campaigns against
flies will be looked upon not only as necessary to
the public comfort but to the public health

Holding Parents Responsible.

nTINNEsoTA's juvenile court law is $ to some
extent an experiment. and is yet to be per-
fected It has been Gin force less than year, and
experience will show the need of some improve
ments One important feature of other juvenile
court laws is lacking in this state, that IS the
statute holding parents responsible for delinquent
children It appears to be bringing excellent results
in Colorado and other states where 1t has been
enacted. and is worth the attention of authorities
here. FL
The Colorado law, which has been adopted by
at least eight other states gives the Juvenile court
authority to punish parents for failure to keep
delinquent child straight, and to punish any other
persons who may encourage or contribute to the
misconduct of such child. Sentence OF tine or
imprisonment may be imposed, and it may be sus-
pended by the court during good behavior The
secret Of success in juvenile court, OF course IS
discretion, and parents are not to be pun1sheu
wantonly The power given is only used where
parents are manifesty refusing to look after their
children, or abetting them in their wrongdolng.
1t is no injustice to punish them in such cases, Tor
they are really more to blame than the child 49,
In its actual operation the suspended sentence
has nearly always brought about Improvement. Ben
B. Lindsey Judge Of the Denver Juvenile court,
saws that only about two out of hundred children
have been brought back to the juvenile court after
a suspended sentence passed on their parents The
exceptions we're cases where theparent had to work
and could not look after the child and in those
cases the child was committed to some institution
for care. .%a.
The Juvenile court idea aims to prevent boys and
girls from drifting into criminal or loose hves and
great success has already attended 1t. The develop
ment Of the idea here is being watched with great
interest, and suggestions for improvement in our
new state law should be given careful considerations
