A PROBLEM OF TIE DAY.

| 1t is stated by Canadian paper
that because OF the scarcity of har-
vest WORKERS the Winnipeg govern
ment has recommended the release of
prisoners who are serving sentences
for minor, offenses, provided they will
help garner the grain crop. There is
| in Kansas and the Dakotas, also, more
harvest work than there are workers.
| This is not true because labor is fully
employed, as has been the case in
past years. In Detroit Duluth, Min
neapolis, Chicago and in other cities
comparatively near the grainfields OF
Canada and the middle west there
but to whom the railroad fare ana
other expenses of going to the harvest
fields is an impossible quantity. Thus
there will be loss in the grainf1elds
and continued lack of employment by
the unemployed because the two are
not brought together.
This harvest situation is typical OF
a general condition. To bring idle
men to idle land is one of the chief
problems of the time; and as the
that will more imperativeiy demand
solution. This is realized in the
cities of the west, as it is in those
of the densely-popuiated east Here
as there, people begin to appreciate
that the industrial salvation of the
Of Ill
mother earth-not upon the standard
of fortune making; but upon that of
livelihood first, with such additional
competence as individual energy, en-
terprise and opportunity may afford.
To solve this rroblem means, as
matter of course, the creation of the
small farm; not to the satisfaction of
the greedy land speculator; but upon
the rational basis of the productive
value of the land 1t means, too,
wider and more general agricultural
education than now obtains. 1t means
that the city boy must not necessar-
lily be taught to contemplate his future
solely as a city man. It means that
there must be widespread dissemina-
ton of the idle-man-to-the-idle-la
idea; and that this must be followed
by organization to that end; organiza-
ton that shall be more or less philan-
thropic, perchance. but practical at all
events This is not a matter of idle
speculation or of Utopian theorizing.
On the contrary, it embodies a task
which higher civilization must resolve
to accomplish There is much de-
mand today that was never demanded
in any previous day; and not the least
of this is the imperative undertaking
to make the idle land accessible to
the idle man.

IGNORED A LAW.
DENIS. IN A BOAT
SOUTH DAKOTA DECISION UP.
SETS THE PLANS OF THE
HOSTS or UNTERRIFlED.

Pierre, S. d .,Sept-5-The decision
of the supreme court in the mandamus
suit brought by certain democratic
state convention nominees against the
secretary of the state to compel him
to place their names on the regular
democratic ticket, is a severe blow to
that organization. 1t leaves them
with a small portion of a ticket which
will go upon the ballot as democratic
and the only way any of the others
can get on will be as Independent can
didates,
The court disposes of the conten-
tions of the attorneys for the demo
cratic candidates as to the constitu-
tionality of the law, and their rights
Ito act independent of the law in max
ing party selections, in a summary
manner, the holding being that so
long as the democrats participated
in the primary as an organized party,
they then nominated their ticket ana
could make no changes in its makeup
other than those prescribed by the pri-
mary law itself. 1t is also held that
the legislative intent was to provide
a mandatory method of making party
nominations, and such a law was
one properly within their constftu-
tional authority.
This leaves the democratic ticket,
Andrew e. Lee for governor, ". T..
La Toilette for lieutenant governor, R..
E. DowdelI and A. H. Olsen for con-
gress. Their convention selections
can only get upon the ballot as indie
pendent candidates, and in another
column. By their effort to show their
contempt of the primary law by the
nomination of only part Of a tickle
by that method, they are worse off
than if they had ignored it in its en-
tirely, for in that case they could have
grouped their candidates all under
one head.

TALKS TO HOME FOLKS.
Bryan Makes Two Non-PoIitlcaI
Speeches.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. civilian ].
Bryan, democratic candidate for the
presidency, yesterday made two avow-
eddy non-politicaI speeches to his home
folks. The first was at the state fair
grounds, where he participated in
the dedication of a new auditorium,
and the second was at the Tabatha
home near Fairview, Where a new
building was dedicated as a hospital
for the aged. In his fair ground
speech, Mr. Bryan confined himself
mostly to an appeal to the farmers
to take livelier interest in legislation
and the administration of govern
ment both state and national He
criticised the great appropriations
made for the army and navy and the
small ones for the farmer. That s25
should be spent in preparing for war
to every dollar spent on agriculture
was a wrong distribution, he de-
clared. Mr.. Bryan declared that the
reason the farmer had received so
little benefit from appropriations of
public money was because he had not
had a voice in legislative bodies. Men
of other professions had occupied po-
sitions in congress and in legislatures
and the farmer had been neglected,
he declared.

BIC INCREASE IN
NATIONAL DEFICIT
FIGURES FOR TWO MONTHS
INDICATE $15o,oo0ooo
SHORTAGE.
WITH FEWER LuxURiES, GUS
TONS RECEIPT SHOW GREAT.
EST FALLING OFF.

Washington, Sept. 5.-At the close
of business August 81, the figures fol
which are available the difference be
tween the income and the outgo of the
national treasury during the two frs!
months of the fiscal year was s28,778,
345.53. A year ago the difference dur
ing the same period was $7,455, 598.72.
Last year the difference between in
come and outgo was little short OF
$60,000,000 for the entire twelve
months. The difference for the first
two months of the current fiscal year
/ is therefore nearly one-half as great
as for the whole year ending on June
80, 1908.
Experienced officials of the Trea
sury expect the income and outgo tC
come nearer to an agreement during
the next three months. But even with
the most careful figuring, they cannot
foresee a time when the expenses OF
the Roosevelt administration vii!
ever come down to it's income.
The difference arising during the
first two months of the current fiscal
year foreshadows what is commonly
called deficie amounting to the
enormous total of $72,668,39O. Con
gress at it's last session made appro
priations only for two-thirds of year
At the best, however, it was ad
mitted at the treasury to-day, that q
difference of about $150,000,000 may
be expected during the year from July
1, 1908, to June 80, 1909. If it falls
much below that the veteran calcula-
tors will be agreeably surprised.
The greatest difference in items OF
receipt for the two months is shown
in the customs. year ago they
amounted to $5S,552,859. This yea.
they were only s43,139, O93. The loss
is largely due to falling off in the
consumption of Injuries.
From internal revenue taxes the re
ceipts thus far this year have been
$41, 635,325, as against $45,071, 750
compared with year ago.
The monthly statement of the bub
lie debts shows that at the close OF
business August 81 the debt, less cash
in the treasury, amounted to 1868, 1885,.
58S, an increase for the month of S.,
OTIS, 765. The debt is recapituated as
follows: Understanding debt, $780,
500. $50; debt on which interest," has
ceased since maturity $3,867 ,625; debt
bearing no interest, s402, 405,110; 10
tai, 81 1903, 776,726.
This amount does not include ST.
$50, '79, 1863 in certificates and treasury
notes outstanding which are offset by
an equal amount of cash held in the
treasury for the redemption. The
cash balence in the treasury is $685.
$50, 1873.

Death Of Librarian spofford.


Ainsworth R. Spofford, who died sud-
denly in New Hampshire had
probably more to do with the shaping
of the great congressional library at
Washington than an other one man.
He was connected with the library
from 1861 until his death, as chief
librarian for thirty-three years and as
assistant chief for fourteen. This
long service made him familiar fig
ure to more than one generation OF
government officials, and senators and
representatives without NUMBER have
consulted him and through him the
treasures of the great library at the
capital
Mr.. Spofford devoted his entire life
to books; his world was world Of
books and in his chosen field he won
high rank His memory was remark
able and this gift was of particular ad-
vantage to those who found it easier
and quicker to appeal to him than
search through the library catalogues.
To him must be given much credit for
the building up of the congressional
library to its present magnificent posi-
ton and to him belongs also a share
in the credit for the stately structure
in which the 100000 volumes of the
library now are housed.
AS the editor or associate editor OF
many treasures and libraries" of
literature and history, Mr.. Spofford is
known to a wide circle of readers who
never came in personal contact with
him, and his death causes a vacancy
which it will be difficult to fill.
