FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.

There is every indication that the subject of financial legisla- tion will be debated extensively in the coming session of con- gress, in spite of the fact that Speaker Cannon has been of the contrary opinion, an opinion shared by some of the leaders of the senate. Many plans are pro- posed and suggestions made us to the currency needs of the country, but the proposition of a "federal central bank of issue, " espous'd by Senator Hansbrough, a member of the finance commit tee, is considered the most likely idea of all, and it is known that the president looks upon it with favor. After all, it may Le that the financial cris of 1907 will rev olutionize the financial methods of the government, and in it's re- suits. may prove blessing to the nation.

NO THIRD TERRIER.

Whatever doubt may have re- mained in the minds of the most skeptical as to the sincerity of the Presidents assurance that he will regard the efforts of fed eral office holders to promote his presidential boom, or their per hitting themselves to be sent as instructed delegates to the re- publican national convention, as an official impropriety has been most efectually removed by the publication of Mir. Roosevelt's letter on the subject, in which he makes his meaning perfectly clear and unmistakable. "You
 will notify such office holders as Is necessary that their accept
 snce of election as delegates for the purpose of their advocating such indorsement will be consid- cred serious violation of official propriety and will be dealt with accordingly" There is nothing subtle or ambiguous in this sent ence. It is a plain statement of the presidents wishes in the matter, and must be taken as such even by those politicians who have lost no opportunity to impugn the motives of Mir. Roose- veltin almost every move or ap- pointment 10 office he has made.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

A lady who understands ad- vertising says: No lady wishes to be looked upon as a shopping 6end; she does not care to go into store and have a merchant show all his stock in order to find out whether he keeps what she wishes to purchase and whether the article is sold at a price she can afford. It is much easier and pleasanter to look through the advertisements of a paper than tits to bore the clerks and waste her own time. Next to the local news items the ad- vertisements in a paper stating articles for sale will keep much of the money that goes 10 the large cities at home."

About Kissing Mother.

The Garden City Telegram knows a father who, in talking to his careless daughter, said:
 "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed a careworn look upon her face. Of course, it has not been brought there by any act of yours; still it is your duty to chase 1t away. 1 want you to get up in the morning and get breakfast. When your moth CT comes and begins 10 express her surprise go right up to her and kiss her in the mouth. You cannot imagine how it will brighten her dear face. Besides you owe her kiss or two. A long while ago when you were little girl, sho kissed you. You were not as attractive then as you are now. Through years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of mothers kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands when ever they were injured with those first skirmishes with the rough old world"

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

The political organization planned for the Philippine Is lands by the civil government act of July 1, has been completed in the election, by the Philippine legislature, of two commission CTS to represent the archipelago at Washington and to sit in the lower house of congress. It is to be greatly hoped that more generous and enlightened treat ment treatment by congress of the Filipinos will result from the appearance of the new delegates at the capital. A willingness to remove the unnecessary burden of taxation on Philippine pro- ducts and to give to the people as free an entry into our markets as has been given to the people of Porto Rico and Hawaii has already been shown by the, house of representatives. But for some inscrutable reason the senate has held out for 0 discrimination, which can be based on neither economical nor political grounds. If it is any assistance to these people for us to take their pro- ducts rather than similar pro- ducts of foreign countries, it is only justice and good policy on our part to do so, and especially as our industries are in no way threatened by their industries. Their progress should be a source of qualification to us, and so long as we retain possession of the islands we should be just and square in all our dealings wlth them, politically, econom- ically and commercially.

SECRETARY WILSON'S REPORT
 ON AGRICULTURE.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Secre- tary of Agriculture Wilson today submitted his annual report, in which he gives an optimistic survey of conditions in the farm ing sections of the country. He touches on many points, in which he says:
 The farm production for 1907 is we'll up to the average in quantity, while it's value is much above that of any preceding year. The farmer will this year have more money to spend and more to invest than he ever had before out of his years work.
 Irrigation is yet confined al- most entirely to the arid and semi-arid regions of the west and the rice lands of the gulf coast, but in time it will doubtless be practiced largely in the mors humid regions of the country ae it is in similar regions of the Old
 World. The irrigated area now under cultivation in this country is II, 900, GOO acres and the crops grown on this area in 1907 were worth not less than $175, GOO, 900. Next year, if present prices are maintained, the products of irri gation farming should be worth $25O, 900, 900.
 Speaking of the chief crops. the secretary says that corn ranks first in importance. Be sides it's large use as a human food, as a live stock feed; "the starch of corn becomes the fat of the hog and the finish of the steer," thus becoming a great factor in the production of meats and meat products for export. While not so large as that of 1906, the value of the corn crop of 1907 is greater and is 2G per cent above the average value of the crops of the preceding five years. He adds that eight such crops as that of 1907 would pay for duplicating every mile of steam railroad in the United States, with terminals, rolling stock and all property. The sev- ell cereal crops produced 4,135, 100000 bushels, showing a loss of 2l4, 100000 bushels, or 5 per cent below the five-year average, the loss being chiefly due to oats. The total value is S2,378, ,0OO, 900; this exceeds 1906 by S296, 100000 and is B per cent above the av. craze.
 The value of the total farm productions in 1907 exceeded tbat of 1906, which was far above that of any preceding year. The to- tai value for 1907 is SAP, ,OOO,- GOO, an amount 10 per cent great CT than the total for 1906, 17 per cent greater than that of 1905, 20 per cent above that of 1904, 9 per cent in excess of that for 1903 and 2 per cent greater than the total value for 1899.
 The total crop of alfalfa hay in 1907 is estimated to be worth SlOO, 100000.
 The farmer depends not alone on his field crops; he produces meat animals; he keeps dairy cows: be raises sheep for nut ton and for wool; he raises hors- es and mules; he keeps poultry. The animals sold from farms and those slaughtered on them in 1907, were worth about S1, 1,270,- 900, GOO, or nearly twice as much

Men have various ways of car rying money. GrOcers, butchers and millers carry it in a wad; bankers in clean bills, laid at full length in a pocketbook; brokers only fold the bill once, doubling the money, as it were. The young business man carries it in his vest pocket; farmers and dro- vers in their inside pockets, whether it be S50 or 90 cents. Printers usually carry their money in other peoples pockets.

According to a census bulletin the population of the United States in 1906, including insular possessions, wss 93, 182, 240. The prospect of passing 100000, ,0OO by 1910 is good.

PLANS NIGHTLY WINTER CONCERTS

helms, made for the conversion Of building In tho
Broadway theatre district into permanent concert
hail Tho ST Nicholas Rink. where the present
summer night concerts are being well attended is
not ayila Bile during the winter hockey season, and
is felt to be a little bit far uptown for winter
home, anyhow.
M Kaltenborn plans to have an orchestra rather
larger than that of the fifty which he is lead
ing this summer, and will give nightly concerts
The audiences will be seated. at little
tables where refreshments will be served and
smoking will he allowed. Mr. Kaltenhorn thinks
that there is great deal OF music not often played
nv the regular symphony orCheStTas which New
Workers want hear. and this music, together
with the vast stores Of operate material he can
draw on will give him plenty Of scope in making
up his programmes.
The concerts in summer time have been going
on for several years. IT is the custom TO make
two or three nights a week special feature con-
certs devoted mainly 10 the work OF some composer
or group Of composers.
