Figures and statistics, generally
speaking, make dull reading. But such
is not the case with. the report of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson. in which
he tells of the fabulous gains in the
wealth produced by the American farm

and the optimism that predicts more
wonderful development year by year is
entirely warranted. The figures are of
such magnitude that the mind scarcely
can grasp them-$7.7 100000 as the

1t is important that the water ways
should be utilized everywhere in the
interests Of cheaper freight rates. The
railroads are moving for an increased
rate, and with the full tide Of prosper
1ty on we shall again experience that
congestion which some time ago taxed
the railroads beyond their powers and
tied up transportation. We have got
to guard against that. and the only way
to do it is to open up the rivers and

In November came the report of the
death Of Kuang-hsu Emperor of China;
a day later the news was published
that the Empress Dowager, TZu-hsi was
dead, too. In death, as in the import
ant part Of his life, the Emperor was
overshadowed by his aunt, the mys-
FERROUS old woman whose will has for
many years dominated his own. Sixty
years ago this queen, who ruled over
quarter of the human race, was slave.
Her father man of noble blood, fallen
into poverty, had sold her to General
T-Du He loved her, and gave her a
good education. When, as the custom
is, the Manchu girls were summoned by
proclamation to the palace that wives
might be chosen for the Emperor, she
insisted on entering the competition.
The general adopted her and fitted her
for the trial. She became one of the
Emperor's secondary wives, won power
first over his mother, then over him,
bore him an heir, and came gradually
to dominate the court. At the Emperor's
death, which occurred just when the
European powers, by the war Of 1860,
had forced open the door of China, she
made herself coregent with her sister
in-law, the first Empress. When her
son came of age she defeated his will,
and at his death she set aside the right
full heir and put in his place the prince
who has just died. This prince, Kuang-
hsu, adopted modern ideas, and attempt
ed to reform the government. When,
therefore, the Empress usurped his
power, the conservatives at the court
supported her There is no doubt that
she was in sympathy with the Boxer
movement. But when that movement
failed, the Empress fixed the response
bility on others and took the part OF a
moderate liberal. In a nation where
women have little observation-disclosures
the wmen of the royal palace have al
ways been powerful-Tzu-hs became
one of the great women of history,
politician equal to any from Cleopatra
to Catherine the Great. In a nation
where the laws of royal succession are
ancient and rigid, she usurped the pow
er of the throne and took her place
among the Tamerlanes and Napoleons.

thetical comment and word painting OF
the Secretary of Agriculture. 1t is a
pardonable pride that Secretary VIII
son takes in looking back to the time
Of his entering the cabinet in 1897
and viewing the mighty increase in
farm wealth that has occurred during
his administration of the Department
of Agriculture. Prices have doubled
and tripled during the twelve-year per-
iod and if he were to retire now the
Secretary would have the satisfaction
Of feeling that his work has contributed
in some measure to the progress that
has been made. Credit must be given,
of course, to nature and general nation
al progress, but the experiment sta
lions, the close touch between the de-
partment and the individual farmer,
the dissemination Of expert knowledge,
have contributed to make the farmer
get better results from his land. Farm
life has improved, and there is move
ment to make it still better. The coun-
try rejoices with Secretary Wilson.

ders IL unsafe to continue the work.
According to the story current, a
large assure in the rocks between the
lighthouse site and the shore was
overlooked when the lighthouse was
located, or has developed since that
time. II is said that n heavy shock,
such as an earthquake, might result
in the breaking loose of the ledge
upon which the house stands, and the
tumbling Of the structure into the
sea. Report further has 1t that 1t
has been definitely decided to stop OPP
erations and seek a new location.
The foundation for the lighthouse
has been completed and considerable
work was done on the tower itself,
prior to the cessation of work, sever
al months ago. Lack of materials
was given out as the reason for the
stopping of work on the tower, but 1t
is now believed that the discovery Of
the crack may have had something to
do with 1t.
1t was impossible to get into COM
