The FARMERS AUTO.

It is greeted everywhere as one of
the best evidences of agricultural
prosperity is the fact that farmers are
buying automobiles. Dealers in gaso-
line machines say they are selling more
autos to farmers than to any other
class OF people. AS a matter of fact
they are a good investment for the
farmer when the roads are good, for
he can go to town and back in a jiffy,
and also save the horses a hard jour-
new. A well-known writer on agri-
cultural topics says:
Some wise people think that the
continued prosperity of the farmers is
demoralzing that important portion Of
our population; that their increased in
comes are doing them more harm than
good, and that their families are de-
parting from the habits Of thrift econ
omy and the simple life that have
characterized the tillers of the soil
since the beginning of time. 1t is doubt
less true that the farm house, particu-
larry in the west, are now provided
With more comforts. conveniences and
luxuries than the richest OF them could
afford a few years ago, and it is true
that the farmers sons and daughters
are buying better clothing and are
spending more money for trifes than
ever was known before The farmer
himself is buying better stock. better
machinery and implements. better ve-
hicles and it is common nowadays to
see him come TO town Saturday after
noon with his family in an automobile
which costs $500 or $4,000 and even

In which he thought he could make the

JAPAN, CHINA AND
THE UNITED STATES,
Policy Of Our Government In the
Far East.

The enforced resignation Of Charles
Il. Crane after he had been appointed
minister to China, on the ground that
he had divulged the views of the state
department regarding the relations of
China and japan, has served to call
attention to those relations and to tho
American policy in Asia.
1t is known that the railroad and
mining situation In Manchuria is I'M
dergoing special investigation by high
officials Of the state department as q
preparatory measure to determining
what shall be the attitude Of the Unit
ed States government in several i'm
portant diplomatic questions which will
become the subject Of official ex-
changes within the next few months.
One OF these questions will arise out Of
the efforts Of syndicate Of American
and British capitalists to build a rail-
way in western Manchuria from Chin
chowfu to Tsitsihar. Another question
for determination Is whether certain
exclusive mining concessions recently
obtained by japan from China are in
violation of the "open door" policy for
which, the United States has stood
sponsor since John Hays service as
secretary of state.

Money and Responsibility.
[Collier's Weekly.1

Comment has been made on the
wages received by the officers and crew
OF great ocean liner as they guide
their ship across the sea. This, how
ever. is not an exception. Turnout the
whole range of human life very great
interests are constantly placed for safe
keeping in the hands of men and wom-
en- whose money reward is small. Is
there not in this fact something which
should cause us 10 respect our fellow
men the more? For every bank teller
who betrays his trust thousands are
honest on small salaries. For every
school teacher who wilfully neglects a
child thousands. for small pay, do their
best. To satisfy our own curiosity,
knowing that the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers has rather we'll salts
fed its members in its efforts to keep
up the pay of engineers, we asked
Grand Chief Warren s. Stone to figure
out how much is received for taking
the Twentieth Century Limited from
New York to Chicago By the six or
seven engineers who are necessary, one
at a time, to take the train over the
various sections Of the road. The en-
gineer, it turned out, receives the same
rate of pay as all other passenger en-
gineers employed on the system, that
is. 1885 per 100 miles. The distance
from New York to Chicago is 1882
miles. Therefore the engineers in
charge of this train receive 1910. 1t
is the general impression of the travel
ing public that an extra rate is paid to
the engineers on these limited trains,
where an excess fare is charged, but
actually they receive the same pay as
the engineer running the two or three
car local passenger train.

of the rate (16.3) in 1904, the rate (1S.5-
in 1908 is the lowest
Then follow comparisons of the
death rates of the cities Of the United
States with 100000 population OF over
in 1900. OF the thirty-five cities con-
sidered, a. decreased death rate was
shown in 1908 in all but five instances.
The remainder of the bulletin is de-
voted to the consideration of causes OF
death, of occupations in relation to
mortality, and contains the official
English translation of the revised list
of causes of death arranged for use in
mortality tables by International agree
ment at the second decennial revision
in Paris last July.

Topics of TIE Times

The commissioner Of pensions an
nounces that the amount paid for pen
sions for the fiscal year 1909 was the
largest ever disbursed for pensions in
one year" The total for 19OS-os was
slS1,973,703. That was five times the
amount paid to pensioners in 1875, ten
years after the close of the civil war,
and twice the amount paid in 1888,
twenty three years after.
Spain is probably well rid of the
Maura cabinet. The ostensible and
probably the real and immediate cause
of its resignation is the Ferrer case.
That may be regarded as sufficient
cause. 1t is possible that Ferrer de-
served death. But the government has
not convinced the world of that fact:
it did not give him fair trial, accord
ing to Spain's own code, and it appar-
entity did not give the king full infor-

JOE cANNoN-A VITAL 1suE.
Esprit Lake Beacon.l

Spirit Lake Beacon.
One of the vital issue of this coua-
try just now is Joe Cannon. In a
political sense he is fossiizei old
Bourbon to whom the rising tide of
civic righteousness has meant nothing
except a movement to be destroyed by
fair means or foul. In order to throttle
effort in behalf Of conspicuous national
needs he makes common cause with
democrats and is joined to the idols OF
Mammon. In strictly political and
material sense his leadership Is a
blight upon political integrity and
a burlesque upon common patriotism
But all his political sins are not SO
serious as the moral reproach of the
foul speech of Joe Cannon and the
degradation involved in his recognition
as second or third in political promi-
hence in this christian nation. In
order to publish his views upon public
questions it Is necessary to expurgate
his conversation that it may be given
circulation through the mails Of the
government To publish half dozen
sentences just as they come from this
depraved tongue would be to vulgarize
the press and to scandaliZe this nation
before the world. And yet right here
in Iowa are editors prominent in
church relations who find relief in ebu-
litions of anger when men presume
to protest against Joe Cannon as a
party and public leader.
