c1rY FARMER WHO FAILED.

CITY FARMER WHO FAILED.
A few years ago a successful city
business man bought a farm. He had
sufficient capital to pay cash for the
farm, to buy all the machinery neces-
sary and to stock it with thorough
bred horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
He was a lover of animals, and he
spent his time among his stock. He
became acquainted with each animal;
he would talk to them and they
seemed to understand him. His stock
dil well and increased rapidly, but
knowing each animal personally as
he did he hadn't the heart to dispose
of anything. No matter what amount
of money was offered him he could
not make up his mind to part with
one of his pets. He was just like a
woman with large family of chill
dren; no matter how many she has
there are none to spare.
After four years of breeding and
propagating, he had more animals
than the farm would support, and his
friends finally interfered and sent
him back to the city to deal in mer-
chandise that could not retain such a
hold on his affections.
This was told me as true story.
It is the first failure of the kind that
ever came to my attention, but I can
see how such thing could happen

Made 1t Too Plain

Judge Baytine at Salt Lake City.
Southern Pacific representatives., dur
ing the railroad rate hearings that will
in all liklehool materially help in secur-
ing j;lst rates for Nevada when the
final hearing of the Reno cases is made
shortly.
The railroad has been lodging the
issue-a terminal rate for some central
Nevada point-on two grounds. One of
them is that the freight rate is now as
low as it can be consistently given:
another is that water competition is SO
keen that the rates in the interior must
be maintained so that the seaboard
rates may be kept down to where they
compete with the water transportation
charges.
Judge Blr5ine forced an official of
the ESpee to admit that the rate charg-
ell to Reno from Eastern points was
sufficient to pay for hauling across the
mountains to Sacramento and then
back to Reno, but that it was INSULT
cient to carry the freight as far west as
Reno, drop it off there and thus be
relieved of the haul across the Sierras
and back
Another Espee official admitted that
the water lines which have been giving
the Espee the most serious trouble in
the way of competition are ''owned
and controlled by the Southern Pacific
Company"
1t seems that if arguments such rs
the ones above are the strongest that
the Southern Pacific Company can put
up for denying Reno an equitable
terminal freight rate, the road will lose
its case. Thu Salt Lake hearing has
brought out the public be damned"
policy of the transportation companies
in too concise wording this time. Now
it's the publics turn.--Goldfcld Daily

VIEW OF THETAX EXPERTS

Gathered at Louisville last week
were some 200 of the best equipped
tax men in the United SSates. Most
of them are Interested in the system
of levying and the method of collecting
taxes. Some of them are fairly entitled
to the appcllation of experts.
Among other things they gave their
approval to the plan for All income tax.
Under their approval after fair dis.
cussion, the States they represent are
likely to give Endorsement to their
amendment to the nations constitution
providing for that means of raising
revenue.
If three fOurths of the States shall
approve that action of the general
Congress. the difficulty encountered in
the Cleveland administration will have
been obviated. And law that seems
just and fair to all men will certainly
receive the approval of the Supreme
COURT of the United States.

Little Country Weekers

Bishop Friedrich Burgess, of Long
Island, was praising the beneicent
work of those associations that send
the pale little children of the slums to
the country every summer for week
Or two.
Quaint indeed are the comments on
the country which, at their first glimpse
of it," said Bishop Burgess, chose
children make.
''One child found gazing with pas
sionata interest at a lot of hens, was
asked if he hId not seen chickens be-
fore.
''Oh, yes, I've seen em BEFORE he
answered, but only after they 'wuz
peeled.
There was another little chap" con-
tinued Bishop Burgess, "whe refused to
he country weel<er. He would stay in
the city. No country for him.
" But why?' they asked him.
Because they have thrashin ma
chimes out there" said he, and it's bad
enough here, where it's done by hand. .

A YELL FROM WALL STREET

Even Wall street papers are not sat
istied with President Taft, for the Wall
Street Journal. one Of the most dis
eliminating supporters of EX-President
Roosevelt, whose legatee the present
explaining heal of the government is,
says:
Even personal geniality and mag
netism do not compensate for the lack
of larger qualiti IS, and Mr.. Taft's
greatest admirers will find it hard to
show that he has not made very poor
start in his campaign Of education. He
began ~ blessing altogether Senator
Aldrich, perhaps the most sinister
figure in our public life, and praised
him not for what he has done in the
past, which even the most tactful presi-
dent would find difficult, but for what
he is going to do III the future. We
hope to do the fullest justice. We hope
to do the fullest justice to those good
intentions when they materialize, but
Mr.. Taft has quite enough to do at
present i'll dealing with the price we
pay for unsound legislation and mis-
government
The Journal plainly forecasts an
alignment between the president and
the rcactionarieS rs the inevitable out
come of his present course:
''There are two kinds of tact and
President Taft's SO far is the wrong
kind. There is that sort of tact which
enforces It's VIII quietly but effectively,
and there is the other kind which
meets a problem by telling the people
that there is no problem at all. Mr..
Taft is trying to align two irrecon.
cilable elements he will end by throw
ing in his lot with the party OF re
action and unfair privilege ut their
own sordid price. He has already
compromised himself upon both sides
Of the tariff question, with the result
of leaving his judgement open to seri-
Gus misgiving upon any question in
which the present dominant element
in the Republican party i; interested.
Whatever any reader may think of
this unspairing criticism. he knows, if
he has ever given a moments thought
to public matters, that the president
cannot be both IL progressive and
reactionary at the same time, and that
from the very exigencics of the situa-
ton III the coming congress he will be
forced TO abandon even the prctensa of
maintaining the Roosevelt policies.

Southern Prohibition

Thomas r. Creole, representative
OF the Fairgrounds Association OF
New Jersey, recently visited some
cities in Virginia, North Carolina and
Georgia in the interest of the play
grounds movement. He has now
made a report on what he saw of the
prohibition movement in the southern
localities which he visited, which is
worthy of especial note in that Mr..
Creole is himself a prohibitionist.
At the time of Mr.. Creede's visit to
Lynchburg-we quote an abstract of
his statement from the New York
neutrality-suspicious. had been on
trial in that city, which by the way
has 10000 population, for three weeks
and the people as a whole seemed to
be satisfied with it; up to that time
there had been no arrests for drunk
enness, and the business interests did
not appear to have suffered materially
from the change.
At Charlotte, North Carolina, with
sixty thousand population, Mr.. Creole
found a city with a two years expert
ence of prohibition-and it was far
from getting along as well as Lynch
burg, many drinking clubs having
sprung up and miscellaneous drinking
or the results of it, being much in evil
dence.
As to Atlanta, the largest of the trio
with population around one hun
bred thousand and with a three
months experience of prohibition be-
hind it, Mr.. Creole concludes that
the morals of her people are much
worse than under the license system.
Atlanta has greatly refrigerated I'M
der the dry law" he says. There
is more drunkenness since prohibition
went into effect three months ago
than has been seen in that city any
time in the past twenty-five years"

judge Ide's Case in statu Quo.

The Mortified News quotes the
statement of the St. Johnsbury Gale
DOMAIN to the effect that For many
years closely associated with several
st. Johnsbury corporations, Mr.. Ide
has never severed those relations in
his long absence" and he is today
a director of one of our banks and Wit
ally interested in the welfare of his
home town" The News adds:
This makes out a pretty good case
of citizenship and Vermont can hard
ly escape having the appointment
charged up to it politically, unless
President Taft concludes to charge it
to himself, because of his personal
friendship and confidence in Gov. Ide
Ex-Gov. Edward c. Smith is presi-
dent Of the Sherman National bank in
New York city, and is interested in
other ways in the metropolis, but that
does not constitute him a bona fde
citizen and resident of New York and
a host of similar cases might be cited.
AS regards the responsibility for
Judge Ide's appointment, President
Taft evidently did not consider him
resident of Vermont to a sufficient
degree to warrant consultation with
the members of the Vermont delega-
ton as regards an endorsement and
as a matter of fact the appointment
was understood from the very outset
to have been personal one by the
president.
The point of the whole discussion,
of course, is that under all the cir
cumstances Judge Ide's appointment
should not be allowed to prevent some
deserving Vermonter who continues
to be thoroughly identified with the
state from receiving merited recognit-
ion from the national administration,
and our esteemed contemporaries of
st. Johnsbury can accede this without
in the least endangering their right to
be proud of whatever relation Judge
Ide sustains now or is likely to sus-
tain to their particular community

is interesting but practically profit
less as there is no more reason to
suppose the small towns will vote

The Mobile Register after a care
full consideration of Mr.. Creede's re-
port, stamps it as "inconclusive" and
as to the conditions in Atlanta, as de-
scribed, it says:
ITO this it will be answered that
the police statistics do not show such
excess, or even as much drunkenness,
as in former times. There is but one
way of explaining this conflict-name-
ly, that there is actually less of drunk
enness in that class which formerly
showed most frequently in the police
court while the young men of the
drinking clubs are not called to ac-
count now any more than they were
in the past. Instead of being put un-
der arrest, they are sent home in cabs
or taken in charge by their friends. .
