NOT UNCOMMON THESE DAYS.

Loren COburn, n poor old millionaire
who is fighting for his estate and his
reputation for sanity In the courts at
Redwood City, Cal, says: II am like
many another man who, after acquiring
property by his own efforts, finds his
relatives sitting around like lot of
vutures waiting for him to pass away
and. when he does not 90 soon enough
to suit them, trying some other way OF
putting him aside" COburn Is sane
enough In saying that his case Is not
an uncommon one. Many Il rich man
does not die soon enough to suit either
his relatives or large part of the In.
directly interested population at large.
Why should riches-the power TO do
good and TO make progress--be cOncen-
trated in an old man lacking In energy
ana enterprise and without anything
else save those riches: Why shouldn't
the rising generation cOvet a hoard that
is useless and an obstacle to progress
and development? Is 1t at all unnat-
ural that the affection Of even close
| relatives, as well as the regard OF 9TH
ers, should weaken toward one who
exclusively and selfishly possesses ten
! times more than all that old age re.
! qulres In the way of necessities and
comforts: Greea-the passion for
| great pOssesslOns-is largely an animal
| tralr. Give one COW Of drove all the
| fodder and her very calves will assist
| in horning her over the fence. There
! is more than one millionaire In this
country who will say that, while old
Coburn may be as sane as Solomon on
! all other subjects. he has been crazy

THE FARMERS ANNUAL CRY.

II within the range Of possibilities,
a sure and speedy solution OF very
practical problem should be found
the problem Of labor on the farm. 1t
Is discussed year after year, but is
oftener treated as a joke than as Sc
rious problem bearing In the most d.
rect way upon the prosperity Of the
country. We have succeeded in NOV
ing the bulk Of what the harvest fields,
gardens. orchards and vineyards have
yielded 10 such labor as could be had
to gather their products. Transports.
ton and money have not always been
adequate, but have In the main met de-
mands at the most pressing season OF
the year. The record Is, however, that
millions Of dollars worth OF farm prod.
ucts have rotted In the field or been
allowed 10 wither on trees and vines
because the help TO gather and market
them was not to be had, even at the
best prices ever offered for such serv-
ice. II will be recalled that during one
harvest time the farmers Of Kansas
adopted the shotgun policy and brought
the hoboes into camp, compelling them,
for time, at least, to earn their
bread by the sweat OF the brow But
this Is not plan TO be considered,
and In spite Of what we have lately
been referring TO as our "army Of the
unemployed" the veXatious problem
now seems more difficult than ever be-
fore. The manufacturing interests are
reviying and expanding. Public works
are enlistlng larger army than ever.
In consequence, the trouble Of the
farmer Is even more acute this season
than In previous seasons. The farmer
labors under handicap because he
wants extra men but few months In
the year, because the Job Is rush one,
and because the demand for short hours
Is not conceded when there is ques'
tion Of saving crops. They mean the

SNUDEBAKER.

The average visitor to Chicago has
one prime idea In mind when he sets
foot In the Windy City-he wants to
be amused. His notion Of the partlcu.
lar brand of amusement he intends to
seek may be exceedingly vague and
indistinct, but he has the amusement

some sort of wholesome entertainment

goodly number of out of town theater-
