BACK 10 THE FARM.

Back to the farm!" is almost as popular cry nowadays as Back to the Constitution" is. For the encour- agement of those who are thinking about needing and obeying the cry we point to 8 social event which took place the other night in Platte coun- ty, Missouri, just across the river from Leavenworth. A wealthy wheat-grower, who owns nearly two thousand acres of bottom lands, gave a barn dance in a new barn, just completed, and which covers almost half an acre of ground. All the society people of Leavenworth and Fort Leavenworth and almost all the residents of Platte county, Mis- souri, were invited, and the attendance was large. An illustration of the ex- penditures of the host was the fact that a steam-heating plant was install ed for use on this special occasion at great cost. Dozens of autos belonging to the farmers and others were lined up outside of the barn.
 Of course one couldn't expect to Back to the farml" and do that kind of thing right off, but 1t is we'll enough to know that it can be done.

HoW SOME BREAD RETURNED.

Bread cast on the waters doesn't of- ten return after many days in the way some bread cast on the waters by Mrs. Sarah Rose of Lynn, Massachusetts, did. Thirty-thre years ago she be- queathed $200,000 as trust fund to the city for the care of starving, home less people. The principal and income were not to be touched for thirty three years and it now amounts to about $500,000. The fund became available last week, and among the first score of applicants for aid was Mrs. Web ster Brown. a seventy-three-ye -year-old woman who asked for a pension of S20 a month. The petitions were consider ed by the Common Council, and the members were mortified when Mrs. Brown, trembling and tottering, told them that she was the daughter of the donor. She married soon after her mothers deaths Her husband dissipat- ed her fortune of half million and then deserted her. For the last ten years she has made living taking in washing. Now she is too old to do that She was granted the pension.
 If Mrs. Sarah Rose is where she can see what is going on in Lynn she will be glad that her beneficence has been the means of helping her own daugh- ter. This is strange world, and the truth in it is stranger than the fiction.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The President and Congress.
(New Orleans Picayune. )

NNeW OTledHS FiCdy une,)
 It seems unlikely, from the present indioa tions, that President Roosevelt will be able to dictate the course of congress in dealing with the difficult and urgent questions with which it will be confronted when it assemblies next month. It is an open secret that there has been a growing restiveness on the Republican side on that body, and espe- Icially in the senate, since it first be- came evident that he intended to exert the whole power and influence of his position to compel it's adoption of the legislative programmes prepared by him. No President of the United States nas ever before so consistently ignored the constitutional limits of his au. thority, or has left so little to the initi- ative of the law-making department proper. President Roosevelt does not even consult congress. He takes the stump from time to time to tell the country what he is going to do, and the people generally have come to look upon him as the government-the whole thing.

THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION,

The public confessions of Dr. Wood- row Wilson, the president of Prince ton University, with regard to the fail ure of education to educate must be counted among the amazing manifes- tations of the hour. It is an old say ing that confession is good for the soul, but we never expected to hear a n.Sn occupying his distinguished po. sition deny the relatively important achievements of conventional eduoq- tional processes. We should have ex lpected him to regret perhaps that tle millions which have been expended on educational machinery have yielded SD much less than there was reason tu hope for, but that he should in place of that say that the record written is one of failure is remarkable.
 We take it that when he uses the term I've" he means all the people who have more or less had it under their charge to rationaily develop the processes of education. Of these he says: "We have been trying a series of reckless experiments upon the lads and youths, girls and maidens of this country, instead of educating them" He looks back over the pupils of the past two decades in school and col- lege and declares that they were not educated. with all our educating we have instructed nobody, and with all our instructlng we have educated no- body" So long as this was general comment upon impaired educational machinery it was calculated to inspire only limited interest, but when he adds to it a personal confession of ineffi. ciency one is bound to sit Up and take notice; q have been reaching for some twenty years-that is I have beer Iconducting class room exercises. but do not think have been teaching any lappreciable part of that time. have been delivering lectures, sometimes oi things about which knew, but more often about things of which I hat heard. The result is that my pupil. have remembered my stories and for, gotten my lectures"
 We do not know how quite to ac
 count for that admission, what in par
 ticular provoked it and what remedy he has for serious situation. Thert must have been moments if not hour
 during the two decades of which h, speaks when the thought occurred tt
 him that he was imparting very llttl
 of importance to his pupils. or he coult lscarcely have concluded now that dur
 ing that time much of his time ant
 the salary paid him were misappropri
 ated. We remember particularly tha

We have nothing to add to what has been said of the impressive beauty of the fountain which MT. Bennett antici- pated the cost of in his last will and testament. It is extremely fine and though 1t is in no sense of the word a memorial in his honor it's location upon the public square imparts to it's presence there the significance of one
 It will be an occasion for regret that the bust of former Mayor Lewis is located near the summit of East Rock Park until it has been brought down into the valley where 1t belongs. His services to the city of New Ha- ven remain the most notable of any given by an occupant of the chief ex- ecutive office. The more one considers them the more the fact is brought home that it was his enthusiastic fore sight and his spirit of determined up- building that laid the basis for the city we now view with such pride and Ihopefulness.
 Now that the Green has been util- ized to immortalize the generosity Hl MT. Bennett, as the marble fountain must do. is there not a spot somo- where on it for the admirable bronze bust of the man who gave the best there was in him to the city he loved so ardently?

Missouri judges are wise men They have to be to judge in Missouri, where everybody wants to be shown One of them has now before him the ques- ton whether Jonah was swallowed by the whale. On his decision the disposi- ton of $5,OOO depends. A preacher re- fuses to pay a subscription of st, 900 to the Christian college of Columbia, Mis- souri, because the college teaches that Jonah was nature taker and refuses to swallow the Jonah story. The preacher contends that the college must teach the Bible as it finds it.
 It would seem wise for Christian college that has discarded part of the Bible to be willing to discard $5,- 900 rather than to allow itself to be brought into court in such a way. Per- haps though 1t will get an advertise ment which will be worth much more than it will have to pay for 1t.

Some who haven't what they want are regretting that they didn't corner the stock of whalebone in 1871 and keep it until to-day. It would have cost them only s462,504.S5 to do it. as the price ruling at the time was sev- enty-seven cents pound, and there were only 600,655 pounds to be had At the price ruling to-day they could obtain for it $2,7O2, ,9475O, represent ing a profit of $2,240.44S.15 In 1906 the average price paid for whalebone was s450 a pound.

Fad ROPE READY

GOLDFIELD March 15.-It was
really fortunate the other night that
the men who we're arrested for Goa
spiracy with the Silva murder were
spirited away by the authorities.
Shortly after midnight On the day
they were arrested the committee Of
safety came to a firm decision to rid
this camp of the anarchists who were
infesting it, and organized posse to
go out and get them.
One hundred and eighty feet Of
carefully creased rope was taken
along as a proper precaution, and by
twos and threes the posse quietly
moved through the streets, the rem
devious being the Jail, where Joe
Smith, Preston and Burns had been
incarcerated.
On arriving there, much to their
disappointment and chagrin, they
learned that District Attorney SWaE
/ low had been before them and had
/ spirited the prisoners away to HaW
Ihorne under a heavy guard, in ad
dition to five others who had beer
arrested for implication in the pres
ent disorder.
The posse then started out on
still hunt for the other agitators, bu
could locate none of them. Donnell.
was known to be in hiding in the rec
light district, but could not be fOunt
and all the rest were in hiding.

BRYAN ON RAILROADS

A representative of the Associated
Press asked William j. Bryan what
effect the Hartman and other invest
igations would have on the agitation
in favor of government ownership or
management OF railways. He replied:
The most interesting phase of the
situation is the refusal Of the people
to lend freely to the railroads. The
to hostile legislation but this is a
mistake. There has been no hostile
Legislation of sufficient severity to
impair the real value Of railroad
securities where the railroads have
been conducted honestly conducted
upon an honest capitalization.
'If the investing public is alarmed
it is because the railroad managers in
a violent effort to terriorize the legis-
lators have carried matters too far.
IF any other explanation is needed
for the hesitancy on the part of the
investors, the investigations furnish
it, for the inquiries have shown to
what extent railroad stocks have been
watered.
But what is the alternative? Must
the government refuse to Investigate
rotten management for fear the mis-
managed roads no longer will be able
to fool the public into buying inflated
securities? The sooner the railroads
are put on an honest basis, the more
secure viii the investing public feel"
