 The estate was settled-closed!
 Two months have passed since the Deppinghams departed from Japat, for good and all." Many events have come to pass since that memorable day. not the least of which was the exchanging of 100000, less attorneys and executors fees. Lady Depping- ham and Robert Browne divided that amount of money and passed into legal history as the Hate claimants to the estate of Taswel Skaggs"

a TYPE THAT MUST GO.

The overload business in England is
in a very precarious situation. If the
so-called budget policy prevails the
big landowner of vast hereditary and
entailed estates may look forward 10
quick extinction. The long drives thru
magnificent grounds from the lodge at
the gates 10 the majestic manor house
win be put to raising turnips and the
deer parks TO pasturing pigs. II is the
end of the old feudalism.
Pigs are not as pretty as deer. and
turnip fields lack the artistic beauty of
ancestral oaks and elns bur they feed
the hungry and England has MANY
hungry mouths to feed. It is evolu-
tionary that the men whose hard labor
have made for English industrial SUI
premacy should, standing UNEMPLOYED
outside the iron fences of the great
parks, with their hungry children by
the hand, should urge their necessities
above the pleasures Of the lord Of the
manor.
The gentleman who inherits the
future of human beings with his en-
tailed estates mustsvanish. If not now
soon; it is beyond reason in this age
that fruitful land should pander 10
pride and pleasure while humanity de-
anands that it produce food for the
hungry.

giving, and says in previous years he
has had as high as between four and
five thousand on hand ready for
shipment on the same date in No
vember. The public are not buying
turkeys very freely in Iowa for Thanks
giving. The common retail price in
these times is % to % cents, with geese
at 1919 and ducks at 15.
Reports are that Grundy Center is
facing milk famine. These farmers
will raise potatoes and sell them at 81
cents per bushel. with all of the back
ache that goes with it. but they won't
milk cows. Neither will the hired men.
And the town COW is not able to supply
the milk consumers in a county seat in
agricultural Iowa. The one redeeming
feature of this state of affairs is that
new on sale at the grocery stores are
several brands of canned milk once the
prejudice is done away with, is an ex-
cellent substitute for both milk and
cream. This present canned milk is
much different from the old style of
evaporated milk sweetened milk, glu-
cose and made thick cream with corn
starch. and unless the dealers in can
ned milk put up the price, consumers
in Iowa can still have milk and cream
in the house. When reduced with
water to be used as milk the cost is
about cents a quart and when used
as cream much cheaper and better than
what the milkman ordinarily furnishes.

GETTING USED TO IT.

A Seattle banker, involved in the
coal land exposures, explains that he
signed affidavits without reading them
and furnished money without actual
inquiry. In effect he enters the plea THAI
he was a busy man and didn't have
time to pay attention TO such little
and irrelevant details as 70 whether the
affidavits he signed were true or wheth-
er the quasi partnership in which he
was involved was in straight transact
tons or crooked ones.
Now this was a big man in big bust
ness, one highly respected FOR his place
as financier and to whom hundreds
of other men looked and whom they
followed. But he signed affidav.ts
without reading or making himself sat-
isf1ed of their contents. If the reported
Acknowledgements is correct, had come
to the pass that he put himself and his
honor into the hands of those who came
running in with something 10 be sworn
to, and backed schemes without IN
curry into the honesty or even the
legality of their purposes.
1t would be interesting to know how
how much of this sort of thing is 60
ing on, 1t might explain many bank
failures ard many other things that
seem inexplicable. II is unnecessary 70
say that no one believes the average
banker gets accustomed TO the shady
edge of business to the degree that he
signs up without inquiry or backs pro-
jects that verge on the Illegal and dis
honest. We all know better but it would
be at least Illuminating if we might
know how much of this leaven is work
ing quietly and under cover.

A DEFINITION OF CONSERVATION,

Secretary Ballinger seems to have
come much closer in agreement with
Mr. Pinchot than when a few weeks
ago we were awaiting the dismissal of
Pinchor at the demand of Ballinger
and the people behind Ballinger. Pub
licity has again done on excellent
work.
Secretary Ba1linger is right in his
demands for amended laws. In this he
is following the lead of his chief. Mr..
Ballingers argument that congress had
in the beginning too little forethougrt
concerning public lands. and that We
have on the whole been too prodigal
with our riches, as a result of which
much subs lance has been wasted that
with proper provision might have been
safeguarded will be agreed with fully.
The public will also agree with him
that the controversial developments
may be made the foundation for en-
lightened effort toward future control
of the resources still within public con
troll and that whether the government
should retain control thu a system Of
leasing or thru supervising restrictions
the public interests call for immediate
call for immediate measures to pre-
vent either monopoly or extortion,
without however, unnecessarily i'm
pairing or impeding development
One of the immediate measures is the
watchfulness of the department having
in charge the safeguarding of the pub
lie interest in public lands. Until con-
gress gets into action the secretary
must be depended upon to aid and at
least not embarrass the efforts of de-
partment subordinates who are tracis-
Ing down and preventing attempts to
gobble valuable mineral lands and
water power sites.
Conservation seems getting ready to
conserve. The Pinchot controversy has
given definition to-the word.

that Mr.. Taft now holds the presiden-
tial record for speechmaking on a sin

President Harrison made 212 speeches.
