FARMS NOT WORN OUT.
Trouble With Farmers Who Quit
Them for Cities, Says Wilson.

ITHACA. N. Y, October 16.-"There is
no truth in the statement that the soil I'm
this part of the country has been worn
and depleted of fertility" said Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson yesterday
after a trip about Tompkins county, in
speeding the reputed abandoned farms.
He said he had found $50 bushels of po-
tatoes to the acre on one farm which was
reported to be worn out.
Secretary Wilson said 1t has been esti-
mated that from ) to 30 per cent Of the
farms in various parts Of the country
have been abandoned, but the real trouble,
he added is with the farmers, who leave
ID go to cities. rather than with the land.
He was at a loss. he said. to explain why
persons will go west for land when there
is so much good farming country in the
east.

the way from the City of Mexico. The

Five Governors Present.
Five governors were present at the
ceremonies here today-Curry of New
Mexico, Campbell of Texas, Sloan OF
Arizona, Gov. Creel Of Chihuahua and
Gov. Lerdo Of Morelos, the two latter
being Mexican officials.
Every possible precaution was taken to
insure the safety of both presidents in
this city and across the river. Each
government had about 5000 troops massed
on the frontier. Most of the troops had
to be moved to the frontier on special
tanned here. Frederick Russell Burnham,
bad greaser on the frontier, was one of
the men who looked out for President
Taft. Chief Willkie of the secret service
force had personal charge Of his big

The Pernicious Supplement.

The International kindergarten
Union, representing ten thousand
kindergartners, is making a raid
on the idiotic comic supplements
OF the Sunday papers, reports the
Bulletin of Education. 1t will be
interesting to see what influence
the union can command in this
warfare. The comic supplement
is SO crude and rude that it would
not seem to need much of an at
tack, but true it is that children
are often crazy over it. 1t might
be we'll to eliminate this passion
for the comic supplement by crea-
ting a relish for something better.
The Sunday paper costs $3.50 a
year. This would buy several
most attractive little books that
could be kept the year through.
The greatest impeachment of the
comic supplement is, that even the
child discards it as soon as he has
taken a good look at it. Current
Literature adds a word of proph-
ecy on this subject when it says,
sit begins to look as if the death
knell of a time honored feature of
American journalism-the comic
supplements of the Sunday news
papers-had struck" A tide of
protest is rising all over the land,
and the very existence of "Foxy
Grandpa" the "Katzenjammer
Kids" "Happy Hooligan," and
Cluster Brown''-those darlings
of the heart of childhood-is mem
aced. Mothers meetings have de-
claimed, and educational confer
ences have resolved, against them.
One lady speaker before the recent
American Fairgrounds Congress
in New York registered her convic-
ton that the comic supplement is
"debasing the morals Of the chill
dren' by emphasizing and appar-

The RefOrmer.

The reformer is no longer a joke.
The time was when the sleek gen.
tlemen who ran u political par
ties could afford to sit in the seat
of the scornful when the reformers
were mentioned. To them the re-
formers were a rather amusing in
cident in political life. Some re-
form advocates were well-mean-
ing, no doubt, but weak-minded;
some were vain men who had
adopted a pose, some were merely
scheming ~hypocrites. They were
a few pawns on the political chess
board, to be moved about by the
masters of the game. They were
to be flattered, deceived, even
placed in Office sometimes-but
they were never to be taken too
seriously.
There were the abolitionists.
The cartoonists made them long
haired, and long-faced. They
were called "nigger lovers and
other harsher names. Oh, they
were a very amusing lot of people
until the Civil War. There hasn't
been much laughing at them since.
There were the Populists. The
cartoonists made them long-whis-
kered. About sixteen years ago
they became strong enough to
poll a million votes. Then the
older parties adopted several of
their policies and tried to pretend
that they had been advocating
them all the time.
There were the Tempe rance adj
vocates. We haven't quite got
through laughing at them yet,
but in the last two or three years
we have seen such states as Okla
homa, Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, and North Carolina swing
into the "dry" column. That
very nearly wiped the smiles of
the faces of the politicians. They
had never seen a state with two
million inhabitants under pro-
hibition before.
The reformer is no longer a joke.
The racetrack is going; is already
gone in New York and Chicago,
The p%rizefghter is going. The
gambling den is gone. And the
politicians who fattened on these
things are going too. 1t was not
so very long ago that people were
afraid to remove a corrupt poll
tician from Office. The argument
vas seriously advanced hat this
fellow had his graft and should be
satisfied, and that any other poll
tician put in his place would be
just as dishonest and a great deal
more ravenous for spoil. We
don't use that argument any more.
The point of view has changed.
The reform sentiment is truly a
live wire, and several politicians
have recently had powerful
shocks. The sooner they learn
that they cannot handle it any
longer, the better for them.-Home
