Farming i'm the Schools.

This movement Tor the lntrouucttoh of agriculture into the schools seems to be a sane reaction timed to meet a great need. As a matter of fact, there Is no dearth of agricultural knowl- edge. The work done by the United States Department of Agriculture IS good in quantity and quality. but It does not reach the farmer as class. The same may be said of the work of our agricultural colleges and training schools. There is needed a connecting link between the work done by these and the people for whom 1t is done. if if Is to be made generally available. The farmer lacks not so much In intei- Iirence along these lines as in interest. The development of this essential in- terest in things out of doors may well be entrusted to our schools under com petent supervision. The basic facts of the relations of the plant to soil. light. heat and moisture are probably no moro difficult to teach or to learn than Is the rule of three," the extraction of cube root. or the conJugation of a verb Such work as this. always con- sidering that it is limited by common sense in the presentation, will enrich any course of study, whether intended for use in city or country. for it comes within the catagory of things which everyone should know.

JEFFERSON DINNER
HANNON, GEARIN AND WILSON : AMONG THE SPEAKERS.
Mayor Mcclellan Says the Spirit of
 Socialism Is Due to the COndi- tlons Brought About by the
 YN ReDubIfcanR.

New York. April 16.-Former Attor- ney General Judspn Harmon of Cincin- nati, United States Senator John M. Gearin of Oregon and President Wood row Wilson of Princeton University. were among the speakers tonight at the Jefferson dinner of the Democrat ic club of New York, held in the Wal dorf- Astoria. Former President Gro yer Cleveland and Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama sent letters of re- gret which were read. President John Fox presided.
 MT. Harmon referred to corporate wealth, saying, We have laws to pre- vent and punish depredations of trusts and combinations and the enjoyment of special favors through rebates and otherwise from public carriers. But
 these were allowed to go so long with only desultory attempts to enforce
 them that the government does not seem able to make its belated efforts highly effective.
 What Is 1t the President and his followers are trying to do? It is mere ly to mend a State of things for which the Republican leaders arc themselves | to blame. They let the spirit of com mercial greed out of the bottle and shouted with pride as it swelled and
 grew. Now that it is as big as the sky | they wish to get 1t back and call on the | Democrats to help
 Mayor Mcclellan spoke at some
 length. saying: There is a spirit of disorder and
 Iawlcssness and a spirit of unrest and | hopelessness sweeping around the
 world, q spirit which masks under the names of socialism. collectivism. com munism, but which has for it's object
 the subversion of existing law and or- der, and ultimately manifests itself by
 the flaming torch and the red flag of anarchy
 That spirit is with us in the United States today taking advantage of con ditions brought about by our oppo- nents Under Republican rule in the
 nation, Government has been persist ently misused for the enrichment of the few and for the oppression of the many And the sewers who SOW the
 seed of disease though. without con science or thought of consequence, are
 men armed with the most powerful weapons for deliberate perversion of humanity With the single ambition of personal elevation, to feed their mon strous vanity, they would not only
 wreck the party to which they claim allegiance, but would without scruple place upon this country the curse with
 which every civilized nation in Europe has been struggling for a decade and
 these men--God save them-call them selves Democrats.

Educntor. Coming to California.

Sunset Magazine
 The forty-fifth annual convention of the National EdQcation Association will meet In San Froncisco. July 9-14. and already elaborate plans for entertain ing 100000 or more visitors are being made by local committees. No one has any doubt but that vast crowd of strangers will come to California at that time. The climate then Is delight ful-a refreshing contrast to the July heat of Eastern cities. Since the con- vention of the same association was held here, several years ago. San Fran cisco has assumed more the air of metropolis. Hotels and apartment houses have gone up in all directions and the committees feel sure that the population of two or three cities could move to San Francisco and find enjoy ment and comfort. The overland raiI- ways will make low round trip rates from Eastern points to all California terminals, and special emphasis will be laid on making the round trip in- clude Los Angeles and Portland, as well as San Francisco. travelling by the coast line road of a thousand won ders." All over the land school teach CTS. hungry for a vacation amid new scenes of wondrous interest. are talk ing already of joining a party to see the sights of the big Far West. And that's a mighty good idea!

FUND OVERDRAWN
WATER WORKS EXTENSION FUND
 IN A HOLE.
Startling Statements Were Made By Alderman J. c. Tyson on the
 Floor of the
 Council.

Alderman J.. C. Tyson made the state ment in the Council meeting last night was now oyerdrawn $20.OQ0 and s2o,- 900 more will have to be expended be- fore the immense water system of Mont gomery is completed.
 900 issuance of bonds for water works extension was authorized two years ago. Since that time the work has been progressing rapidly and the system Is almost completed.
 Last night Alderman Ruth introduced a resolution providing Sor the advertis- number of valves, valve boxes etc He asked for it's adoption.
 Alderman Tyson objected. He said that the fund is now $20.000 overdrawn. the water committee or the city coun- ell but asserted that the blame rested on B. B. Smith, the special engineer of the water works extension and R. s. Williams, city treasurer.
 Some months before, Engineer Smith appeared before the committee and 1t was stated that the old council had left was authorized to be expended.
 Further investigation disclosed the fact that there was none of the fund left by the old council. The law pro- vides that when fund is expended the council shall be notified by the city treasurer and until last night there had been no notification. He said now the he did not know where it was coming from
 The suggestion was made that it be taken from the water works fund and transferred to the water works ex- tension fund. Alderman Hudson laugh- ingly suggested that several Missouri legislators had found their way into the penitentiary by transferring money from one fund to another.
 The Ruth resolution was passed and an ordinance was introduced to take fran he xU af AR nTlT fatt. transfer 1t to the Water Works Ex- tension fund.
