decision rendered by Judge E. T.
Sanford in Knoxville, the Chattanooga
Loyalists in the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian controversy over the possession of
the Oak street church property have
won a victory.
Judge Sanford holds, in effect, that
the Federal Court has no jurisdiction in
the case; that the interests of Stevens,
Morrison and Finlay, the compliments,
are identical with those of Smart,
Brown and other Unionist defendants,
that therefore those Unionist defendants
are properly aligned as complainants,
and that when SO aligned there would
be citizens of Tennessee on both sides of
the controversy. Consequently, there
is not the diversity of citizenship neces-
sary to give the Federal Court jurisdic-
ton. In order for the case to be one
which the Federal Court could properly
decide, all the parties on one side of the
controversy must be citizens of differ
ent State, or different States from that

Interurban Line.

An electric interurban in operation
between Nashville and Gallatin or some
other nearby town by October, 1910,
and system of electric interurbans
radiating from Nashville within the
next few years is practically certainty
according to information given out by
Mr. Hunter H. Mayberry, President of
the Nashville & Franklin Interurban
Railway. Contracts for the road in
1910 will be let in about thirty days.
1t is not assured that the new line will
go to Gallatin. A number of small
towns, it is understood, are making
strong pull for the line, but from the
statements made by Mr.. Mayberry it
was gathered that the citizens of Gala
tin and the section through which the
new road will pass have already practi-
cally pledged the small Is per cent. of
the capital stock, which the company
headed by Mr.. Mayberry asks.
The formation of the Fidelity Invest
ment Company, the charter of which
was granted by the Secretary of State
Monday, was the initial step taken to-
ward giving Nashville series of cleo
trio interurban lines which are destined
to revolutionize the transportation facil
tiles in this section of the United States.

In Aid OF the Farmers.

Dresden, Tenn. Aug. 10-Represent-
alive Finis j. Garrett, who has reached
home from Washington following the
adjournment of Congress, is in receipt
of letter from DR.. Seaman A. Work
in the Bureau of Plant Industry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, advising him of the consummation
of plan for which Mr. Garrett has
been at work for some months, under
which the cooperative demonstration
work will be begun in this Congressional
District. 1t is believed that this work
will eventually prove a great benefit to
the agricultural interests of this section.
Briefly stated, the plan of the work is
as follows:
An agent of the department is APP
pointed for a given section usually one
for each county after the work is thor
oughly under way), and this agent visits
as many farmers as possible, and upon
the farmer agreeing to cultivate a given
number of acres of cotton, or corn, or
other standard crop, according to the
directions and under the instructions of
the department, he is furnished with
the best quality Of seed free and is visit
ed as often as possible by the agent and
given practical instructions and demon
STATIONS. In other words, he is given, |
not only the theoretical scientific knowl-
edge acquired by the experiments of
the department, but is shown precisely |
how to apply these theories in practical
work.
DR.. Knapp has advised Mr.. Garrett
that W. w. Chambers, who has had
charge of a large portion of the Texas
work for some time past, will be trans
ferred to this district probably in Octo-
Der or November of this year and be-
gin the work Of organization. This CO.
operative demonstration work began in
Che sections where the cotton boil weevil
we're prevalent, and noneVof this work
has heretofore been done in Tennessee,
nut it is believed that once begun it will
,rove of greatest aid in the development
# the agricultural resources.

The Wealth of Japan.

a big pile for one people to owe 1t

nations who owe more and prosper. The
debt of France is five times as great; that
of Russia is $1,000 900, 900, and Germany, in

most as much. Little Italy has a debt of
two thousand seven hundred million, and

billions and are paying interest eight

Is all right many think a national debt

more habitants than the United King
dom of Great Britain and ireland, which
is now spoon-fed by the United States.
If Uncle Sam shut his bread basket for
three months England would starve. All
the nations of the world might keep their
supplies of food away from Japan and the
so, GOO, eco stomachs here would go on work
ing just the same. Notwithstanding the
hard times of today and the big taxes Of
the late war there are no wrinkles in the
50, 600, coo Japanese bellies. The people 1
see on the streets are plump and the
children are fat. We have In the United
States almost 5000 poor houses, with about
$1,000 inmates. l don't know what they
cost but 1t must be we'll up into the mil
lions. Japan is now spending less than
$4,000 a year to take care of her poor,
and the government gives for such pur-
poses much less than ours.
The Big Crop of Babies.
A good index of national prosperity is
the birth rate. This is increasing in Japan
and without immigration the nation
steadily grows. 1t had SO, 600. 900 in 1872;
1t has now 100000, and its population is
growing at the rate of 100000 each year.
Within the past % years over 10000 600
have been added to it, and today the
babies swarm l have visited every
great people of the world, and nowhere
Every other child has a baby strapped to
its back almost every woman who works
in the fields is thus loaded, and one
meets old men and young boys going
along totng these Acknowledged yellow
bits of solemn humanity. The babies look
well. They are healthy, and they seldom
cry. I doubt not the birth rate will be
still higher If the conditions improve, and
one of the burning questions is how Japan
an, all - 4fo .
the storks continue to bring In half mil
lion more babies every year than they
brought In the year just behind. In most
countries the birth rate falls with want
and hard times. Marquis Katsura tells
me that this has been the case with
Japan In the past, and that it would be
so today If her people lacked food. The
fact that the babies come faster and
faster shows that the nation is not in
desperate want
National Assets.
As to the actual wealth of this country,
1t compares favorably with that of other
lands. At the present writing, without
counting its debt. the nation is worth
about twelve billions of gold dollars. This
is almost as much as the wealth of Italy
more than twice as much as that of Spain
or Holland and about one-third of the
estimated possessions of all the Russias
The richest countries Of the world are the
United States Great Britain, France and
Germany. We lead all the rest in hav-
ing money to burn. Our assets are esti-
mated at one hundred and sixteen billion
gold dollars; Great Britain's at sixty-two;
of France at forty-three, and of Ger
many at forty-two billions.
Considering the short life of the new
Japan and the great wars It has under
taken, its cash account is respectable. to
