PROFITS ON SMALL FARMS.
Some Interesting Figures Given By
Agricultural Writer.

An agricultural writer who has given
some little attention to the small farm
question has collected some interest
ing facts and figures pertaining to the
profit In farming fewer acres than Is
commonly considered profitable. Incl
dentally 1t Is observed that the prob
lem Of hired help weighs less heavily
orr the owner OF the small farm than
on him who operates the average place
OF 100 TO zoo acres. The former also
makes q shorter work day, gets his
affairs on something like a business
basis, keeps in touch with his fellow
men, and altogether gets great deal
more enjoyment out Of life. The facts,
as presented In the following para
graphs, cover observations made dur
ing the season.

A TRUE PUBLIC SERVANT.

Governor Hugres is a party wrecker
in New York because he has gone
ahead and done his duty, says the Orr
gon Journal. He knew that he could
not honestly serve the people and the
republican party leaders at the same
time, and he preferred, nay consil-
cred himself in high and solemn duty
bound, to do the former Hence he
was never tied up with them at ALL
but his nomination was forced two
years ago by Roosevelt, who now. it
is rumored, wants the machine boss
es to get into control again
Hughes knew them, despised Them
knew they We're enemies of good gov
eminent and of the people, and has
had nothing to do with them. So they
hate him, and are in parlous posi-
ton between this devil and a non-par-
tisan governor, and the deep sea of
democratic victory. If Hughes is not
renomlnated. there will be demo-
cratic landslide and if he is nomina,-
ed the predatory politicians are our
in the cold for another two years. at
least. and they may vote the demo-
cratic ticket to try to beat him.
Hughes is just the kind of man
the people need in high places. AS
an official, he knows only the people.
not party. He knows that the very
purpose. the object of party machine
is to impose and prey upon the peo-
pie, and so, firm as the rock or Glib
ralter, he stands between it and them,
stands simply for duty, and the high
est ideal of true public service. The
people are going to get such men into
high offices, more and more

THE VOTERS QUALIFICATIONS

The qualifications of voter in

Any male person over 81 years of
age, a citizen Of the United States and

language, may register and qualify as
voter if he has lived in the state one
year, in the county ninety days, ana

requisite qualifications should fail t.

CASTRO AND ASPHALT.

That there is at least two sides to
what is commonly known as the
Venezuela question seems to be appar-
ent and although it has become the
custom Of American and European
newspapers to poke fun at President
Castro, it seems rather difficult to get
at the true facts of the case at this
great distance.
A we'll known New York news agen
cy, just now, is engaged, presumably
for a consideration, in attempting to
secure a better recognition of Cas-
tros side of the controversy. With
this end in view, it is circulating an
editorial which appeared in The
States. New Orleans publication, un-
der date of July "a Whether or not
the editorial was inspired" by the
same news agency, is, of course, an
open question. but it at least will
make some people pause before they
become too vigorous in condemnation
of the admittedly picturesque Venezue
Ian executive. The editorial follows:
For many years the little republic
of Venezuela has been more or less
prominent in the eyes of the world
and on more than one occasion other
nations have narrowly escaped being
drawn into bloody wars on her account
Owing to the weakness of the country
and the ignorance of the masses who
compose its population. Venezuela has
been the field of exploitation by ad-
venturers from all over the world, and
these adventurers have been at the
bottom of all the trouble that has oc-
CURED.
The country is rich in natural re-
sources, but poor IN the quality of her
citizenship; hence willy foreigners have
found it easy to dupe the people. in
many instances to debauch public of
ficers, and TO establish prima facie
rights to mines and other valuable
concessions, and to credits for which
they subsequently seek to make the
government responsible The greatest
offender in the way of disturbing the
peace of Venezuela is the asphalt trust,
which for many years has been seeking
to embroil this country in war with
Venezuela and has pretty nearly sue
ceeded on more than one occasion.
Castro may not be all that may be
desired in the executive head of a ma
ton, but the courage and firmness he
has displayed in protecting the rights
of his people against the Vaccinations
of the swarm of corrupt adventurers
from every land must command the
admiration rather than the censure of
fair-minded observers. Ministers, con.
suls and diplomats from other nations
are sent there, and the opportunities

Washington: Fair tonight. Satur-
day fair, warmer east portion.
Weather Conditions.
The high area off the Washington
coast has gained strength and another
high of considerable size covers the
eastern slope of the Rockies. Showers
have fallen in Wyoming, Colorado, Ne
braska and Kansas. There have been
scattered rains on the gulf coast and
in the Mississippi valley, and rain in
the north Atlantic states attends a de-
preston in that locality. The tenn
peratures are nearly stationary on the
Pacific slope, except in southwestern
Idaho where il is warmer. Cooler
weather prevails from the Rocky
mountains to the great lakes. The
indications point to continued fair
weather in this locality tonight and
Saturday with warmer Saturday.

Washington, D. c., May l3.--The

an assemblage of many OF the most
distinguished figures in political and

perhaps, one OF the most notable
gatherings which ever met to con-
slider a great public question in that
historic mansion. The occasion was
conference by President Roosevelt
with the governors Of practically all
states and territories to consider the
broad question Of the conservation
OF the country's natural resources.
The conference will continue until
Friday. Men who know how the
natural resources of the country
have been wasted-captains of indus
try, who have dealt with these re-
sources, and experts who have
studied conditions, told of the ma
tons prodigality in the exploitation
and consumption of its natural re-
sources. Representing the govern
ment was the President of the Unit
cd States, the vice president, mem
bers of the cabinet, justices of the

members of both houses of congress.
