to do military service and treated with

ment."
There are, moreover, certain practi-
cal and material obstacles to the imi.
grafton en- masse of the oppressed AMI
outraged Hebrew The present writer
states that while many have left Rus
STA, those who stay are too poor to
leave, or else too prosperous to risk
change of country. Thus:
at may be asked why the Jews did
not leave Russia en- masse when life
was made so impossible for them and
further persecution was known to be
inevitable. The answer to this ques-
ton is threefold. In the first place,
considerable number of Jews did leave
Russia and found their way to England
and America, as well as to Germany
and Austria. In the second place,
however, the enormous majority were
too poor to leave even if they had
wished to do so. Thirdly, in spite of
occasional persecution, robbery, and
massacre, great many Jews find that
it pays to live in Russia. Certain
trades and businesses are wholly in
their hands, and many affairs are new
err transacted save through Jewish in
termediaries. If there is the risk of
total loss, and even of massacre, the
profits are very high. And although
the Jew is hated and despised in GER
tain respects he is trusted. A Chris
tan grain merchant told me that no
one but a Jew could go up country
and buy grain direct from the peas
ants, as the latter were accustomed
to sell to the Jew and mistrusted all
other buyers. They know that al
though the Jew is very hard at max
ing bargain and is the son of a
dog yet when the agreement is made
he will not try to back out of it even
if it prove to his own disadvantage"

WHY THE JEWS DO NOT LEAVE
RUSSIA.

Why do not the Jews leave Russia,
asks Mr.. L. Villari in The Monthly Re-
view (London). The Jew in the Rus
sian empire is simply Jew, accident
ally subject to the Gear. A Jew in
England is an Englishman, accidental
ly of Jewish extraction. 1t is true, he
adds, that the very wealthy Jewish
bankers of st. Petersburg enjoy a po-
sition of great influence and consider
alton and are received into the most
exclusive society, while a less fortu-
nate coreligionist remains "the son o.
a dog" The rich Jew can bride the
authorities and in Russia bribery is
the one corrective of injustice" In
answer to the question why the Jew
does not leave Russia, where he is
bounded and prosecuted, Mr.. Villari
says the Jew is enthusiastically labor
ing for the social and political eleva-
ton of Russia and feels it his vocation
to do so. He favors the enlighten-
ment of the very masses who are his
foes. To quote:
In every European country the
Jew is more or less a Liberal in pol
itics; he is naturally an anti-Clerical
and opposed to arsitocratic forms of
government, and his intellect makes
him inclined to progressive ideas. But
at the same time his business capacity
and his money-making proclivities
make him lover of order and an OBJ
ponent of revolutionary disturbances,
especially of those based on doctrines
inimical to the rights of property. Es-
sentially peaceful, he is almost inva-
riably a law-abiding citizen. But in
Russia persecution has driven him in
evitably into the ranks of Social Dem
ocracy and revolution. Excluded from
all public services, he could hardly be
in sympathy with the bureaucracy
which organized anti-Semitism; forced

CUSHNAHAN.

State Journal.-You knew something
was needed right quick, didn't you?
So you went down to Scowcrofts and
picked out carload of provisions, all
ready for eating, and got it off in a
hurry. You told them just what was
required and you saw to it that some
thing was doing right away.
We do not know how to address you
in clerical fashion, Father Cushnahan,
but if you will just take it as we mean
it, in a sort of happy-go-lucly style,
we will say, and we mean every word
of it, too, that you are just about the
best sort of man in this baliwick
Our opinion of you, sir, is that if all
clergymen were like you, this old world
of ours would be heap sight better
Off. We think you are a generous,
thoughtful, kind-hearted gentleman,
and we doff our hats to you and say
with all the energy at our command:
Here's to you, Father Cushnahan.
May your shadow never grow less.
May your life be pleasant and all your
ways peaceful. May sickness never
overtake you, or disaster thwart you.
May fate avoid you and trouble run
when she sees you. May your kindly
action be remembered by every one
and your thoughtfulness be an object
lesson. There's no use saying any
more, because you will think we're
piling 1t on too thick, but may good
luck follow you all the days of your
life and overtake you every minute.

The full extent of the San Francisco
calamity is now being to some extent
realized by the people of the coun-
try. For days the reports gathered
and sent out under the greatest diff.
ficulties imaginable were necessarily
very inaccurate, but now that some
thing like order has been brought out
of chaos, the facts are being gradually
ascertained. At first, as is usually the
case, accounts of the loss of life were
exaggerated; then the tendency was
to go to the other extreme; so that
from 10000, as the stated number of
deaths few days ago, the estimate
was placed at less than 300 Later,
cooler and more careful calculations
indicate that the loss of life will not
exceed one thousand. The property
losses will not be much, if at all, short
of $3OO,OOO,OOO. These figures place
the San Francisco earthquake among
the big disasters of the world BY far
the greater part of the property dam
age resulted from the fire, while the
loss of life was largely caused by the
earthquake, which made buildings to
collapse or topple over, crushing their
occupants and those in the vicinity.
Aside from supplying the immediate
wants of 100000 homeless people, the
question uppermost in mems minds is
as to the future of San Francisco and
the surrounding country. Were 1t not
for the possibility-we might say
probability-of recurrence of the
earthquake at any time, the future
would be very plain. San Francisco
would soon be rebuilt on a more mag
nificent scale than the San Francisco
which has been destroyed. Biologists
for many years have been saying and
writing that San francisco was on the
most dangerous part of an earthquake
belt or zone, and that at any time the

whole of the region might or probably
would sink and the Pacific ocean flow
over and completely engulf the stately
cities and the beautiful country. Since
the big tremor which caused the dis
aster there have been a constant sue
cession of numerous smaller tremors.
This, however, is not an unusual oc-
currences, a series of small shocks fol-
lowing a large one until the earth set
ties down to it's normal condition. The
recurrence of the quakes, however,
have had the effect of frightening
away many thousands of people whose
homes hitherto have been in the ill
fated city, but who have left never to
return. The disaster will also have
the effect of keeping away thousands
upon thousands of tourists who hith-
erto have looked upon the Golden Gate
as their Mecca. 1t is a question as to
whether people will have faith enough
in the stability of that particular part
of the crust of Mother Earth to very
quickly rebuild the city. The disaster
will have a paralyzing effect on the
business of Southern California. 1t is
a land which has been largely sup
ported by tourists and by wealthy re-
tired business men going there to
make their homes. The tide of tour
lists for the time being will be turned
in some other direction.

those presenting the petition that the
request was preposterous, and would
or could not be granted, offense was
taken. If these Industrious fellows
will attend to building up a greater
Salt Lake and let the government of
the United States and its proper rep
resentatives attend to it's affairs it is
fair to presume that the nation will
get along all right. What Salt Lake
needs most is to be relieved from it's
covert enemies and it's fool friends.
The daily papers have had a hila-
rious time telling how each outdid
the other in reports of the San Fran
cisco disaster. Self praise is a poor
recommendation. There was one
thing, however, the Herald did which
is deserving of the highest praise
1t was chronicled in the Herald among
the big generous things which Utah
had done for San Francisco in her
hour OF trouble and it was deserving
of the prominence given it. 1t sent
its editor to San Francisco as spe-
cial correspondent. What might have
happened if Joel hadn't been sent or
had refused to go is something so
fearful to contemplate that the hor-
rors of the earthquake and the fire
fade into utter insignificance

The Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany has come to the front in a most
generous way to relieve the distress
of the San Francisco sufferers. 1t
has carried food and clothing in free
and carried refugees out free, the
freight and fares on which, if paid at
the usual rates, would have amounted
to over a million dollars. Railroad
companies are generally anathama-

they do something really clever and
generous such as Mr.. Hartman and

Truth has known of many senseless
actions by people in Salt Lake but
was hardly prepared for the in
reference of certain citizens in
Salt Lake with the plans of the War
Department at Washington, D. c., in
its order to transfer certain troops
from Fort Douglas to points else
where, basing their objections on the
ground that such transfer would cause
a diminution in the income and prof

essary for a great government like
the United States of America to con-
suit private individuals as to what 1t
will or will not do in the matter of the
disposition of its soldiers? In an emer-
gency to mobilize the troops would
the Secretary of War first have to
consult Salt Lake or some other city
before action could be taken? Or
obtain from the citizens of Salt Lake
permission to vacate Fort Douglas
for a while? How some people do
make monkeys of themselves! This
interference idea is quite consonant
with some other ideas originating
here. Only short time ago a petition
went around asking the government
to allow one of its rooms in the New

Among the successful farmers of this
section are the Phillips Brothers, who
have a place on Lake Hollingsworth.
These two gentlemen came here from
Arkansas about two years ago, and al
though wholly unfamiliar with the con-
ditions in this new country, have de-
monstrated what industry and intelligent
methods can accomplish. A few days
ago they shipped Io2 crates of celery,
being part of crop grown on a quar-
ter of an acre. From this little area they
are marketing a total of go crates.
With the exception of shipment noted
they have sold the crop at 81 per crate
at the platform here. The Io2 crates
will net them better price than this,
and thier clear returns from this one
fourth acre will therefore be approxi-
mately 5000. The writer has sampled
this celery, and it is as good as can be
produced anywhere. The Messrs. Phil
lips are also successfully growing a va
riety of other products. News.

compromise was made i'll which the
costs were divided, and the cause dis
missed. The costs and attorneys fees
on each side amounted, in round num-
bers, to $1,000.
There is still another case that |
will mention. This case grew out of
a dispute over about two acres of land,
lying right on top of mountain, and
worth not over $40. The parties lawed
until they exhausted themselves, and
made enemies for life, and the court
finally decided that neither had title to
the land in dispute. The costs of this
case have not yet been taxed, and |
cannot say what they are, but it is
safe to say that they are ten times
the value of the land in controversy.

=. arners Should Not Go to Law Over
Trivial Causes.

An article from the Southern Agri-
culturist contains some good advice,
with several examples given as warn
ings. We should extend the scope
of the title by saying. Farmers nor
any one else, etc, etc.
After thirty years experience in the
courts as lawyer, L desire to issue a
warning to the farmers of the country
against going to law over small mat
ters, and, indeed, over matters of any
kind, large or small, as long as it can
be avoided Law suits, at the best,
are uncertain, and the records of the
courts abound in instances where
financial wreck and ruin to families
in easy circumstances have followed
the institution of suits, begun in the
utmost good faith, and apparently
without the least shadow of a chance
to fail of success And, again, the
record abounds with instances where
the parties have come to grief be-
cause they went to law over some triv-
ial matter to crafty a grudge, or to
revenge a real or imaginary insult,
or to spite an adversary. In this lat
ter kind of cases, the guilty party,
if he meets defeat, is entitled to no
sympathy, but, in the majority of
such cases, the innocent are involved
and suffer along with the guilty, and
our sympathies are always aroused
when we see the innocent suffer for
the misdeeds of the wicked.
| have in mind some instances that
show the follw of going to law over
small matters, and will recite a few
of them, leaving off the names where
they do not appear in the reported
cases:
Just before the war between the
States, there lived in Hancock Coun-
ty, in this State, man by the name
of Wolfenbargo, and another by the
name of Stanford Wolfenbargo was
a man of some means, and was the
constable in his district, and there
was placed in his hands an execution
issued by a, justice of the peace,
for a few dollars, against Stanford,
and he levied this execution on a
small calf, of the value of, perhaps,
two dollars as the property of Stan
ford Stanford brought an action of
replevy to recover the calf, and the
case was appealed from the justice of
the peace TO the circuit court, and
after two or three mistrials, there was
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-08-29

though bull, was steer in the
sense of the law, and was not sub
Ject to seizure on the execution, un-
der the exemption laws, and decided
the case against Wolfenbargo, and
judged the cost against him, and this
cost and his lawyer fees took his lit
tie farm, and he was left homeless
with several small children. (This
case is reported).
Another case from the same neigh
borhood is worthy of mention Two
men, Mr.. r. and Mr.. H., lived on ad-
joining farms. The daughter of Mr.
r., over the protest of her father, mar
ried the son of Mr.. H., but after some
years MIR. K. apparently became recon-
ciled to his daughters marriage, and
either gave or loaned her a COW of
the value of about twelve dollars
The daughter and her husband, pre-
paratory to going East, sold the cow
to neighbor, Mr.. G., and, after the
daughter was gone, her father and
Mr.. G.. got into a litigation over the
cow. The suit originated before a JUS
tice of the peace, and was appealed
to the circuit court, and from the cir
cult court to the supreme court The
supreme court reversed it and sent it
back for a new trial, and after anoth-
er trial in the court below, it was tax
EN- to the supreme court again, and,
after worrying with it for several
years, it was finally decided against
Mr.. R. The costs and attorneys fees
in the cause are said to have been
about $1,000, and, as a result, Mr.. r. |
lost his farm and his family was left
homeless.
There is another case growing out
of a dispute over a mule worth about
forty dollars that | will mention: Mr.
p. and Mr.. M. got into dispute soon
after the war, over the title to this
mule, and got into litigation. This
case also originated before a justice
of the peace, and was taken to the
court to the supreme court. The su-
preme court remanded the cause, and
there was then a change of venue to
another county. The cost, because of
the large number of witnesses, the dis
tance they had to travel, and the
length of time the case was pending,
amounted, it is said, to $1,000, and
the loosing party had it all to pay.
There cases all grew out of disputes
over personal property, but disputes
over real estate, with similar results,
are not infrequent. A few years since,
in the State of Virginia, two wealthy
adjoining land owners got into a dis
pute over a parcel of land containing
not more than one-eighth of an acre,
and worth, perhaps, ten dollars. For
merly the dividing line between the
two farms was a small branch that
had no definite channel AT times the
branch flowed at one place and at
other times, because of freshets chang
ing its bed, it flowed at other places,
and to settle and fix an unchanging
line, for former adjoining owners
agreed upon a line and built fence
on it. After the death of the former
