given to the army, too much promi-
hence given it, too much money spent
upon it or because it has been too
large. But again and again we have
suffered because enough care has not
been given to it, because 1t has been
too small, because there has not been
sufficient preparation in advance for
possible war. Every foreign war in
which we have engaged has cost us
many times the amount which, If wise
ly expended during the preceding years
of peace on the regular army, would
have insured the war ending in but a
fraction Of the time and but for frac-
ton Of the cost that was actually the
case. AS a nation we have always
been shortsighted in providing for the
efficiency Of the army in time Of peace.
1t is nobody's especial interest to make
such provision, and no one looks ahead
to war at any period, no matter how
remote, as being serious possibility,
while an improper economy, or, rath-
err, niggardliness, can be practiced at
the expense Of the army with the GER
tainty that those practicing it will not
be called to account therefor, but that
the price will be paid by the unfortu-
nate persons who happen to be in Of
fee when war does actually come.

though am we'll aware that it will
take some time for people so to famil-
iarize themselves with such proposal
as to be willing to consider it's adop-
ton. The need for collecting large
campaign funds would vanish if con-
gress provided an appropriation for
the proper and legitimate expenses Of
each OF the great national parties, an
appropriation ample enough to meet
the necessity for thorough organiza
ton and machinery, which requires
large expenditure Of money Then the
stipulation should be made that no
party receiving campaign funds from
the treasury should accept more than
subscriber or donor, and the necessary
publicity foc receipts and expenditures
could without Sna.iculty be provided.
A National Gallery Of Art.
There should be national gallery
Of art established in the Capital City
of this country. This is important not
merely to the artistic, but to the ma
terial, welfare Of the country, and the
people are to be congratulated on the
fact that the movement to establish
such a gallery is taking definite form
under the guidance of the Smithsonian
institution. So far from there being
tariff on works of art brought into
the country, their importation should
be encouraged in every way. There
have been no sufficient collections Of
objects Of art by the government and
what collections have been acquired
are scattered and are generally placed
in unsuitable and imperfectly lighted
galleries.

OUR FARM Frs.
A NEW ERA.

The time is ripe for great onward
movement in New England. Almost
every individual is full of confidence
in New England's futu g. The old
feeling of oistrust has worn away.
Fear of western competition has dis
appeared. Deep down in the public
minds exists determination to push
forward-to develop right here in
New England the highest type of
civilization, the largest measure of
human happiness and genuine pros
perity.
A common impulse to this end
posse sses our people. There is a
universal desire to get together tt
accomplish definite results.
The furry in the financial verdi
now happily pa>t and least serious in
New England-has taught anew how
closely all individuals, occupations
and interests are interrelated.
Through the grange and other or
CARNATIONS, farmers are cooperating
more wisely than ever Labor unions
are animated by more friendly and
prudent split. Religious, educa-
| tional, temperance and ethical en-
beavers are all endowed with new
life.
Town and country are growing
closer together. Rural life is draw
ing people away from the cities.
Country life enjoys most of the ad-
vantages. Trolly, telephone, cheaper
and better railway service, are to be
supplemented by parcels posts, pos
tai currency and other improvements
in the mail service that shall bind
still more closely country with town.
All this means that the psychological
moment has arrived for the CO. ordi
mating of all these influences. Let
then all work together for the cor
mon good and marvellous indeed
will be the result. United effort
among organizations will accomplish
even more than cooperation be-
tween individuals. Proeres IS may be
apparently slow, but it will be sure.
All history proves that, when {
people like ours are thus governed
by common ambition, the le AIDE r.
and means will be found for trans
forming their aspirations into reality
And it is sipgularly true of our New
England people that, by inheritance
environment and immigration the,
possess fully the power to combine
the ideal with the real, the genius t.
solve the problems of the new err
which is now at hand, the character
grit and capital to make New Eng
land blossom as the rose.
New England conditions are nov
such as to develop to the utm os
sturdiness of purpose, depth O
character, breadth of view. Our eli
mate, alternately tender and rugged
produces the highest type of men an
women. Our institutions under tn
broadening touch of modern progress
pre- mote largeness Of mind and char
ity toward others opinions, in shar
. contrast to the 'narrowness and con

servatism that in earlier times retard-
ed New England progress and cloud
ed the happiness of her people.
Ii is ny profound conviction, after
many years of travel, observation
and study, that taken all in all New
England possesses a larger measure
of advantages for human existence,
and smaller measure of disadvan-
tages, than any other like area in the
world And I prove my faith by my
works. Witness our great publish
ing building and new printing plant
now approaching completion in
Springfield, the largest of its kind Oh
earth, and what is vastly more VIA,
consecrated to the service of New
England and of our rural life.
1 Farming is to pay better by i'm
proved methods, cheapening pro-
duction, and still more by reducing
expenses between producers and con-
sumers in our New England markets
which are the best ia the world.
Fam values are to gradually in
crease until they reach a parity with
the west, where land is worth S25 to
| 500 an acre or more.
There is to be large agricultural,
manufacturing and Industrial de-
veicpment of the now latent re-
sources of Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont. Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut will become
almost one vast suburb of their great
cities.
A league of the New England
states will not only advertise this sec
ton and attract to it more of the best
class of people, but will promote
unity of sociological effort. Not one
person in 1000 in New England, nor
one in 10000 outside of New England,
realize that Maine is relatively un-
developed, that TIE Pine Tree state is
to the northeast what Texas is to the
southwest.
New England capital will be in.
vested more largely than heretofore
in New England agriculture ani
manufactures. The plain truth il
that our farms and factories have too
often languished for want of money
The golden stream which has beer
diverted to the west and south is nov
to fructity our New England indus
tries, whose earnings and profits pro
duce it.
6 Labor will become more skillet
for our fine manufactures, an acr,
and a COW for each workman's fam ly
With better public utilities and oths
advantages, will make the New Eng
land artisan typical of all that is hes
in labor and citizenship.
Z The idle rich will pass away
Possessors of large means will NOR
than ever realize their responsibiltie
and endeavor to administer thei
.. properties with regard for the publ
' welfare.
8 transportation, all public utili
ties, will be vastly improved. Stat
!, and federal supervision will result

people and spublic service corpora
