PROGRESSIVE STREET COMMITTEE.

It cannot be denied that the street committee with Mr.

The latest move is to have the city acquire IT'S OWN

II the city could procure good supply Of rock suitable
for streets the crushed rock might come cheaper
10 accomplish that end the city would have to buy

Chairman Solz also believes il would be in the interest
Of the city to own its own steam roller
Whether II is in the power of the city to purchase all these
things WITHOUT A BOND ISSUE IS NOT CERTAIN.
The street committee also tayorS building a ferry and
bringing gravel from the island in the river
The whole aim and purpose of these plans is to secure
CHEAPER MATERIAL FOR PAVING STREETS.
There some question whether the city could legally sup
ply crushed rock OF gravel TO the contractors,
The street committee deserves credit for investigating
these things and the whole matter will be reported AT the

WHY GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN SUCCEEDED.

One OF the secrets OF success OF Governor Chamberlain
lies in the fact he is true TO his friends,
He was not much given to appointing men WHO WERE
NOT LOYAL TO Him PERSONALLY.
He was not much given TO paHating his enemies,
Senator Fulton tried that eXe SNey and when he need
ed friends that class all WERE SILENT or ABANDONED HIM
Governor Chamberlain secured valuable position tor Mr.
6atenS and will not be deceived or betrayed by him.
He names no cod-booded Observation-Disclosures per
sons TO positions of political trust and was never afraid TO
MAKE A STAND AND FIGHT FOR MAN If he was his friend
and had proved his loyalty
Those who hand out the cold lcuas to their friends and
take men who have been nhe other camp 10 the first Ia
bile never Get yey fan In politics
on course, there ave men OF such intense personality and
potenaty that they need mo- friends and advisers at any

future of the American farm
er by the opinions of James j.
Hill, published in The Press last
Friday.
There is a great deal of truth
in the statement of Mr.. Hill that
the country is outgrowing it's food
supply" he declared. 1T is a ques-
ton that is commanding our atten-
ton, and l have set number of
government scientists to work to
discover the causes for such a con-
dition. can discuss the matter
more fully, of course, after the re-
port of the experts is ready.
There are two great causes for
the lean years." continued he.
"One is the tendency of our new
citizens to concentrate in the
cities, but the other is the greatest.
"That is the failure Of the
American farmer, as a class, to
get out Of his acreage by conserva-
ton Of soil and rotation of crops
the amount Of yield he should.
Education will remedy this in
time, and great strides are now be-
ing made in this direction.
Another trouble that confronts
the farmer also confronts the baker
and the miller" he continued,
THAT is the tendency of the pro-
gressive farmer not to market his
grain as he used to do. Instead,
the corn and other cereals raised
on the farm go to feed and fatten
the stock, in which there is still
greater profit.
Thus the great crops of cereals
that appear on paper each year
really are imaginary so far as their
direct consumption by humankind
is concerned.
"a significant and hopeful sign
of the times, however, is found in
the government reports of crop
conditions in the New England
states, where thousands of farms
long since considered practically
worthless are beginning to show
better producing reports.
While reports do not show that
the farming interest in the great
middle west Is on the wane, they
do constitute warning to the
western farmer to get more out of
his soil, something that he can
well do by closer attention to the
little things"

country-and knows what he is
talking about. Near Tama, Iowa,

HOW TO BE ABLE
TO VOTE

The approach of the school elec-
ton and the numerous recall move
ments has caused many inquiries
to be addressed to the city clerks
office for Information as to the
qualifications for voting at mu-
nicipal election.
To register for a recall election
or any other city election the voter
must be 20 years IL months and 10
days of age; he must have lived
in the state IL months and 10
days, In the county 70 days, and
in the precinct 10 days. II he has
become a voter in the state prior
to July 1, 1901, he must be pre-
pared to read and write the En-
glish language.
Women who desire to vote in
the coming school election can
register at the office of the secre-
tary of the school board at the
Administration building, South
Central high school.

The chief trouble found in scat.
tering the aliens is their desire to
flock together.
An Italian, for instance, who
lands in New York and scarcely
can speak the English language,
naturally fails to take up the gov.
eminent agents invitation to go on
a farm With enthusiasm. Unused
to the customs of the country, and
awed, perhaps, by hustle and eX
element everywhere, the immi
grant turns to his compatriots fol-
sympathy and advice, and finds
these compatriots, of course, in the
cities. Once settled there, he
stays.
Conditions of farm labor are
therefore damaged by this. Instead
of each immigrant becoming a food
producer, along the ideas of Secre
tary Wilson, each becomes food
consumer, increasing the bdrder
put on the farming population.
That there is hope for the farm
err, however. Secretary Wilson
firmly believes, and he fails tC
take as gloomy a view of the stu
alton as Mr.. Hill has taken.

HUSBANDS "BE GOOD"
CONTRACT FAILED

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 4.-By pay
ing his wife $4,000 in cash and
entering into a contract with her
to be good in the future, E. r.
Cowan, wealthmy Atlanta bust
ness man, induced Mrs. Cowan to
withdraw her suit for divorce.
Cowan entered into the contract
to be good several days ago. Later
he learned that Mrs. Cowan had
told the story, and that she said he
would not be good and that she
would leave him in spite of his
payment of $4,000 When Cowan
learned that his wife was telling
the story of the contract he felt
greatly Inundated and bought poi
son. The poison was snatched
from Cowan as he had 1t at his
lips.
Cowan was married seven
months ago. Mrs. Cowan, in her
suit, charged cruelty.

western farming conditions that
should interest every farmer:
With the sole exception of Califor.
mia, the western states produced
last year, less yield per acre than
the farmers of New York, Pennsyl
vania and New Jersey.
The other great problem, as laid
down by the secretary, is the
crowding of aliens in the great
cities, rather than taking up the
opportunities they have before
them on the farms of the west.
In connection with this half OF
Mr.. Wilson's warning, the bureau
of immigration has taken this
question up and is trying by every
means at it's command to divert
the tide of immigration toward the
farms and away from the mills OF
the great cities.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. g.
Following closely on the an
nouncement of the new religion
by President Emeritus Eliot OF
Harvard, comes the statement by
Thomas Nixon Carver. professor
of economics in the same univer'
sity, that the Ten Commandments
ought to be edited or added to to
meet the needs of modern condi'
tons.
Professor Carver declares, as a
matter of economics and the So
cial uplifting Of the American peo-
pie, that drinking is a more i'm
portant subject for divine injunc'
ton than blasphemy. He says
that the commandment Thou
shalt not take the name OF the
Lord thy God in vain" could be
laid aside with little or no detri
ment to public morals to make
way for new precept, Thou
shalt not drink to drunkenness or
bewilder myself with strong
drink" The utterance Of the
name Of God in the speech Of to-
day, he says, has lost it's old time
Significance and intent; 1t is not
intended to be profane nor inflict
a sting, but is the outlet of limit
ed vocabulary and a lack of good
taste.
Drinking, on the other hand, he
says, is practical injury to the
value of a man as an economic
unit and as factor In the inter.
related activities produced by the
modernized inventive life of today
II do not declare by any means,
says Professor Carver, that the
Ten Commandments are passe
what | have said is that the com.
mandments were rules of conduct
fitted for control of the people at
the time. But changing conditions
require changed rules of conduct
and so today / think that a com
mandment against drunkenness is
needed.
