THE NEW PROFESSION.

In the numerous speeches made during his 15,OOO mile tour Presi- dent Taft said many good things; so many that the country has not taken time to digest them, even though they were most reported ID the newspapers. One expression he made at Jackson, Miss, has es- caped with little comment, yet it was significant of the change in the position the minds of the people of the North, at least, of one of the oldest callings in the world. The president said, among other things:
 If were advising a young man of this country as to his future pro fession, should say to him that there was probably greater oppor- tunity for real reward in assiduity, industry, attention to business and scientific investigation in the pro- fession of agriculture than in any other profession this country af- lords.
 Your state has the tradition that most of your great men were both lawyers and farmers. 1 am not altogether certain that that combination makes for good agri- culture. am afraid that some of your distinguished members of the bar find, or did find before you gave up everything of that sort, that a glass of milk was about as expen- sive as glass of champagne.
 But the tendency toward the country and country life is ten dency that we ought to encourage. It tends toward sane, philosophical and quiet consideration of the prob lens of life. It takes out that nervous exhaustion of energy; it takes out the gambling spirit: it takes out of the life of the citizen that hurry and rapidity that carries men quickly to their grave, and it makes for the happiness of indi- viduals and families far more than any trade or profession that brings you into the great maelstron of city life"
 This is not new, but it places a strong emphasis upon the present view of the future of agriculture when the president of the United States names it as a profession and not only that, but as the profession that promises the greatest oppor- tunity for reward along industrial and scientific lines. It was not long ago, especially in the west, when land was so plentiful and na- ture so bountiful and farming so much a matter of killing work that it was presumed anybody could farm; but now it is understood that farming is a science, and not an oc- cupation for the man who has failed at everything else.
 Scientific farming is no longer misnomer. Agriculture, old ir years-in centuries rather, has be- come the new profession, requiring the best brains and promising the greatest real reward.

JUDGE BUFFERS MISTAKES.

That was quite remarkable charge
made by Judge w. N. Butler, of the
circuit court, to the special grand jury
now in session as an instrument OF
his court 1t was remarkable in two
wavs: in what was said and I'm what
was left unsaid; and in both these
respects ii failed to come up to what
was to be expected by men who are
familiar with the causes and extent
of the evils on which the judge I'M
dertook to instruct the jury
In the opinion of some The Bulletin
may be open to the charge of 'lese
majestic" when ii presnmes to pass
any unfayorable criticism upon
court, and this would be true If the
court in question we're what the peo-
pie have right to expect it to be:
place where the law is cleanly ad-
ministered for the protection Of the
innocent and for the punishment OF
the guilty, TO the end that law-abd.
ing men and women may be safe in
their lives and property-a place, in
short, where justice is done. In so
far as court falls short Of this re-
quirement or quality it is not entitled

important of the branches of our gov
eminent, and feels that this branch,
more than either of the others, must
be clean and efficient in its service
to the people If the eloquent plea OF
the immortal Lincoln at Gettysburg
shall prevail; and it is because ii
knows, as Judge Butler himself must
know, that the circuit court in this
county has fallen far below the
standard fixed for the courts In our
scheme of government, that The Bull.

upon It's operations here from time

that the court might be raised to the
place where it could. command the
respect and confidence OF the people
whose creature it is and to whom its
presiding officer is as much re-
sponsible as is any precinct con
stable.
Perhaps the most striking sentence
in Judge Buffers charge Is that in
which, seemingly admitting that there
have been gross miscarriages of jus.
tice in his court, he attributes 1t to
the low public sentiment here,
coupled with the fact that on account
of Cairos geographical location we

The Bulletin feels constrained at
this time to print few circum
stances. which, in his opinion, consti-
tute at least strongly contributary
reasons for the many infamous YER
diets of not guilty in murder cases
tried in Judge Buffers court It has
on various occasions expressed itself
strongly in more or less detail so far
as the work of constables and deputy
sheriffs is concerned; but has been
content to say only that the Judge on
the bench, meaning Judge Butler, was
not blameless. The Bulletin realizes
that this is a serious charge ana it
feels that Judge Butler as well as
the readers of this paper are entitled
to know upon what reasons or facts it
is based
1t is proper to state by way of pre-
mise, that Judge Buffers fault lay
partly in not even attempting to stop
some of the operations of constables,
deputies, and others, who invaded hi
court at various times evidently in
tent upon interfering with the admin
istration of Justice On two occasions
the Judge left his bench and called
the attention of the editor of this
paper, to something that was going
on in behalf of the defendants, which
ought not to be permitted; but when
asked why he did not stop it, replied,
in effect, that he could not, Yet he
was there to see that justice was
done, that the administration of law
was not interferred with, that people
as we'll as defendant, received a full
and fair hearing-and if he had not

WASHINGTON FINDS
Way To STOP The
BILLBOARD NUISANCE

WASHINGTON, July 21-A check
on the erection of more billboards and
the painting of more walls with ad-
vertising matter, proposed yesterday
by Commissioner West, has been APP
proved by the board of Commission
ers.
BY this action the District Commits
sioners have decided to grant no more
permits for the placing of advertise
ments on fences or building walls.
Commissioner Mcfarland and Engi-
neer Commissioner Judson formally
approved yesterday afternoon the rec
concentration of Commissioner West
against any more billboards for the
National Capital. In taking this stand
Commissioner aMcfarland called at
tention to the fact that he has prompt
ly approved every recommendation
looking to improvement in the bill
board advertising made by Commits
sioner West, who, having supervision
of the police department, has charge
of the billboard matter
MCFARLAND HEARTILY APP
PROVES.
Mr. mcfarland said that repeatedly
in the past he had declared himself
as in favor of abolishing all billboard
advertising, and said in June, 1907:

Washington ought to lead the way il
the matter of street advertising.
In the course of that interview Mr.

done under the present law, quoting i

These are a hardy race possessed OF
considerable energy and thrift. Induce
ments offered to immigrants from the
llocano provinces are very alluring
Families who have migrated to the
Cagayan valley almost invariably have
prospered. Yet it Is hard to persuade
many of them to go so far from ma
tive haunts.
Any movement that will make Fill
pinos less reluctant to leave the pro-
vinees of their birth and go to 9th
ers where work and wages await them
will make labor more easily obtain
able in the islands. Undoubtedly the
migration of Filipinos TO Hawaii in

later return to their communities vii
awaken migratory spirit IN the race
and make the population of the isl.

larize activity and enterprise in the

Nevertheless this expectation of {
commodity so difficult to obtain fo
home consumption can be at best bu
a doubtful experiment.

FILIPINO MIGRATION To Hawaii

(From the Manila Cable News-Ameri-
cam
Considerable alarm is felt in some
quarters over the fact that Hawaiian
agents in the Philippines islands are
engaging laborers for the sugar plan
tations about Honolulu. The fear is ex-
pressed that THIS levy upon the al
ready scant supply of labor in the ISL
ands here will be sorely felt i'll the
districts where workers are most need
ed. Doubtless the drain will pinch
in some sections if the Hawaiian
agents succeeded in obtaining the 1000
per month they are represented as
desiring. Certainly any of those will
be drawn from the fields and indus
tries of this country; and their going
will be felt keenly for a while, at
least.
However, there are reasons why one
hesitates to raise a voice against this
expectation of labor from an existing
deficiency Chief among these reasons
is the fact that these migrations can

upon the Filipinos in the end.
Those well acquainted with condi-
lions throughout the islands with res
pect to obtaining laborers say with
great unanimity that the scarcity OF
labor in the islands is not due Sc
much to lack of men able to work
as to a shortage CT men willing tC
work. Employers Of labor have found
that Filipinos of the working class are
greatly averse to going from one sec.
! ton of the country to another Fol
this reason it is. often difhcult to bring
the work and the workman within
speaking distance OF each other. Fol
example, cultivators of tobacco in the
Cagayan Valley find it very hard t
get enough hands to man their plan
tations. The people native TO the val
ley belong to a tribe or a race tina
either cannot or will not supply work
ers. The planters have relied upol
immigration from the IIocano province
