ACCUSE AMERICANS
OF BEING STINGY
London Hotel Men Whimper
at ShreWdneSS of
Yankees.
NO LONGER IGNORANT
Tourists outgrow Their Bashfulness
and Win Not Pay Double for
What They Get.

LONDON. Sept Americans have
long enjoyed in England a reputation
for being 'klckers:' now they are &C.
cused Of meanness ana extreme frugaIity
by the London papers.
The manager Of one Of the West End
hotels complains that his American
guests use his hosiery only for sleeping
purposes. and take their meals. even 10
their breakfasts, in the small tea shops
and cheap restaurants. Hence the ac-
cusatiOn OF meanness.
Not Naturally Mean.
The manager. explaining this frugaIi~
~. said: Some were compelled by lack
Of means to tour cheaply, while others
did so TO prove their shrewdness. They
liked 10 see how cheaply they could do
The tour in order TO go home and boast
Of IL as an achievement against the Eng
fish. They We're not naturally mean,
but were carried away by their instinct
OF commercial cunning"
Another explanation is that Americans
want fun value FOR their money and are
bound TO get IL They don't believe in
paying 81 for a breakfast that By walk
ing ocross the street they can get for
. cents
Paid Double to Hide Ignorance.
For many years the American tourist
felt that England was a foreign land
with foreign customs. He had not ac-
curately sized up the situation. and
rather than display his ignorance he
was willing 10 pay for something double
what Il was really worth.
Eer1rGA they stood for heinz Irfu-raH
for years and viii not submit any longer
the Americans are now being accused OF
meaaness. Yet if 1t were not for Ameri.
can money many Of the biggest London
hotels would go out Of business and
thousands Of stores would suffer almost
10 the point OF bankruptcy.

Not a Republican Adjunct.

Frank p Sargent, now Commits
sioner General of immigration, but
more widely known through his
election to be president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men, is out with a statement
that American organized labor in
tends no menace to the President
in opposing certain Republican can
didates for election TO Congress.
To his mind, Theodore Roosevelt is
the proven friend OF labor and is
so regarded by the members of the
American unions.
OF the first item in his argument
there ought TO be no doubt. The
Presidents intervention in the an
thracite coal strike was as signal
a demonstration of his regard for
the Miners Union as of anything
else; for in strikes the laborers in
variably lose more than their en-
ployers, Mr., Sargent cites the Ad-
ministration's recent order to en-
force the eight-hour law as proof
of the same sort. And il is likely
the second item is similarly well
founded. A leader of his promi-
hence may be presumed 10 know
what he is talking about when he
speaks of Theodore Roosevelt's
popularity with organized labor"
But appearances are deceitful in
deed if organized labor is TO be in
politics a mere adjunct TO the Re
publican party, as Mr.. Sargent in
dicates when he says;
The Republican party has always
been foremost in enacting legislation
for the benefit of the labOTinE man.
and the men will remember that when
they vote on election day.
1t may be true-and it may not
that the Republican party has al
ways been foremost" etc. But even
if it is true, it does not follow that
organized labor will be content to
act as a tail TO the Republican kite.
1t is after a better political posi-
ton than that. It has not observed
the course Of the labor parties in
Australia and New Zealand without
longing 70 play a corresponding role
here.
For a long time the men who
would compose an American labor
party have been content with allur-
ing promises from the Elephant and
the Donkey. while the worlmen Of
the two colonies indicated were get
ting results. That the Americans
should grow impatient Of that con-
trast was only to be expected. Now
that the impatience has developed
into action, Mr.. Sargent and every
one else must expect to see organ
lied labor in this country follow
much the course adopted by or
gained labor in the two states
where it has obtained the most
and that means an independent
party either strong enough to win
at the polls or wen organized
enough to sell its strength for spe-
cifc legislative returns.

Agriculture in the East.

1t isn't often that the possessor of
a secret worth millions blazons it
TO the world. But here is a bit of
advice that points the way of golden
opportunity:
Go East, young man; get a cheap
farm, and grow up with the coun-
try.
Stay away from the effete West.
A poor man has no business with its
high-priced lands and restricted
markets. The East is the country
for the poor man-if he will just
have the good sense to live in the
country.
1t is calculated TO make one rub
his eyes to learn from statistics just
published that the most valuable
lands in the western hemisphere are
the farms of Illinois and Iowa; that
these are worth about twice as
much per acre as the agricultural
lands of the Atlantic states. More
over, these Illinois and Iowa lands
have increased from SIS to $50 per
acre in value in the last five years,
while lands in the Eastern States
have appr ,c;ated about half as
much.
But the lands in the Eastern sec
ton have uniformly increased in
value, which is the important point.
They will increase more as the
years pass. Before rem years they
viii have a boom in values. There
are no more cheap lands in the
West. The tide of agricultural de-
yelopment must turn back upon it.
self; il viii spread over these neg
lected places of the East; abandoned
farms viii again be titled; oppor-
tunities once despised viii be APP

There is better investment in the
farm land Of Virginia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New York, and New
England than in that of Saskatche-
wan or Alberta. The one is al the
back door Of the worlds richest
market; the other is on the opposite
side of the continent. Now is the
time 10 buy cheap Eastern farm.
Then all you need to do is TO sit
still and watch it make YOU rich, as
the farmers Of the West have done.
