FARMERS ARE KINGS.

After rusticating for a few weeks
among them Mr.. Wilson. secretary OF
the federal department of agriculture
declares that the western farmers are
living ike kings. Sure they are. And
who have a better right? For years
and years the most of them have been
fighting strenuous battles for their lit
tie kingdoms. The vicissitudes which
they have experienced have been many.
Their rewards are now great, but not
any greater than they should be.
AS Mr.. Wilson observes most of the
farmers have their farms paid for.
Mortgages on their proprey are bogeys
of the past. Their fences are in excel
lent repair. Their fields are working
with regularity in the production of
valuable crops, and in place of debts
staring them in their faces they have
bank rolls of money, many of them Of
a size and purchasing power that would
make few of the kings of ancient
days turn green with envy if they could
return to the sphere of the living and
take a trip through the lands of the
agrarians.
With the SURPRISES of money which
are flowing il. steady streams toward
their pockets the farmers are building
for themselves and their families mag
nificent homes which are the equals of
some of the best to be found in the
cities. They are buying automobiles
by the thousands and indulging in such
other Injuries as suit their fancies. In
fact, as Mr.. Wilson says, they are liv-
ing like kings and if any class of men
is entitled to such lives it is that one
the tillers of the soil. They
are coming into their very own and
may their present effulgent shadows
never grow less.
Their wonderful successes should
also act as stimulant tc many others
to follow in their footsteps. There is
plenty of room for newcomers in all
of the best agricultural sections of the
nation. And one of the crying needs of
the times is an executive development
of tho agricultural industry. More crops
of all kinds are needed at home and
abroad, ard for years and years to
come, forever, in fact. there will be-
large remunerative returns to those who
have the courage to go out and con-
quer the soil and grow the things that
everybody needs

Many Kinds of Macaroni

a high price in the macaroni market,
retailing at rs to 80 cents a pound.

RIVER NAVIGATION IN EUROPE.


/ An American congressional commit
tee is now in Germany studying the de-

the United States. In connection with
this matter the following report from
Consul Joseph l. Britain, at Prague,
Austria, on the utilization of the upper
| reaches of the Elbe river. which is al
ready so wonderfully made use of as it
crosses the German empire, will be in
teresting:
improvements on the River Moldau
from Prague to Melnik, and on the Elbe
from Melnik to Aussig. are being vigor-
ously pushed. These improvements
comprise a system of dams. locks. and
lateral canals, to make the rivers navi-
gable from Prague to Hamburg during
all seasons of the year.
The work which was commenced IN
1897 will, when completed, comprise
twelve dams, with locks, sideways,
and retaining walls. At present five
dams have been completed on the
Moldau, two on the Elbe. where two
are still building. and three are yet to
be constructed, together with their
locks. Aside from the twelve mention
ed dams, two will be constructed within
the city limits of Prague, one of which
will furnish power sufficient to gener
ate electricity for the Prague electric
light and street car service, which be-
longs to the city. At present the two
plants are expensive regarding fuel
consuming in 1908 upward of 52,0S5 tons
of coal and coke.

each dam there is constructed a sluice-
way for the passage of lumber RATS.

Bohemian forests in the mountains. |
There are also special passage ways
constructed to enable fish to pass up
the river.
The cost of the improvements on the
Moldau and E1be from Prague toi

to attract depositors from the public
| banks which pay and per cent in
terest, but that they would attract
the accounts of those people who
were wavering in the balance as to
whether or not they should spend
their money for the want of know
ledge OF safe place to put it. The
president also called attention to the
further important fact that the de-
posts of the alien population, which
are now sent to government banks
abroad, would be held in this country
if there were postal banks with the
government behind them to reassure
the timid and panicky depositors of
foreign birth and affiliation of the
safety of their money.
Incidentally all of the good argu-
ments in favor of postal savings
banks are just as pertinent in favor of
the guaranteeing of the deposits in
all banks. Postal banks, the world
over, get their strength and their
popularity from the fact that people
depositing in them know their
money Is safe because the govern
ment is behind the banks. II the de-
posits in all other banks were made
just as safe through any one of a
variety of efficient guarantee plans
the business of the banks would be
increased. But even i'll
this was the case the necessity for
postal banks would be almost as great

POSTAL SAVINGS, BANKS.

Not a voice of protest or defense
was raised the other day at the ses-
sion of the American Bankers asso-
citation in Chicago when delegate af-
ter delegate took the floor and de-
nounced in unmeasured terms the
proposition for the establishment of
postal savings banks by the federal
government. Strong resolutions
were subsequently adopted by this
convention, which is representative of
the banking interests of the nation,
against the creation of such banks.
But wait a minute. President Taft
arose to make a speech in Milwaukee
the day after these occurrences and
he announced himself to be Just as
strongly in favor of the institution
of the postal savings banks system
as were the bankers in their con-
demnation of the plan He went
little further. He called attention to
the fact that the last national plat
form of the Republican parry went on
record in favor of the establishment
of these banks and he remarked en-
phatically that it was UP to the repre-
sentatives of his party in congress to
redeem that pladge. And so the
black-eye given to the postal savings
banks scheme by the bankers has
been painted over by President Taft
so that it will be impossible to notice
the damage the bankers tried to do.
Bankers are opposed to the postal
banks because they have formed the
opinion that such institutions will
draw considerable money that would
naturally find its way as deposits into
the ordinary banks. President Taft
shattered this contention by pointing
out that postal banks paying only 2
per cent interest would not be likely

In September the whole English
speaking world will celebrate the
2OOth anniversary OF the birth of
Samuel Johnson, to whom that world
owes prodigious debt of gratitude.
Our sectarian and vivacious contem-
porary, the Freeman's Journal echoes
some of the Irish newspapers in sug-
costing that the Catholics should take
part in the festival at Johnson's native
town, Litchfield, because of his SYM
pathy with the Irish Catholics, and
his defense of the religion of Rome,
reported by Boswell. The Freeman's
Journal remarks that ait might not
have been a difficult task to make a
good Catholic of the great doctor"
But not only Catholics and students
of literature will join in the great
tribute to Samuel Johnson's memory.
AS a "majestick teacher of moral and
of extraordinary range and powers, a

knowledge of our language, and the
