The Question Of Party Dis,ntesration.

The Question Of Party Dis'ntegration.
New Orleans States.
Recently there have been numerous
reports from Washington OF q pos
sible break up OF the political parties
and q fealignment Of forces. Con-
siderablel color has lately been given
to these reports by the movement for
the organization Of q political party
which will stand squarely for Tree
trade. and there is little reason to
doubt that the election next year
will witness . great shifting OF voters
though there may be no actual break
up OF the old party organization.
At the present time there is much
characterization, division and disgust
in the camps of the Republican and
Democratic parties. Aldrich has
read a dozen progressive Republican
Senators from the West out OF the
party, because they have been advoc-
ating what was once the Democratic
principle Of tariff reform. Their
arguments and appeals were those OF
the old-chool Democrats who stood
honestly for the reform of the tariff
and their attitude has been supported
and applauded by nine-tenths- OF the
Republican newspapers OF the country
which are'daily calling on their party
to redeem its pledges to the people
and revise the tariff downward.
But there is to be no downward re
vision, and anticipating an increase
OF the tariff clothing that has beer

In Washington see in such . situation
the possibility of d political revolution
which will result in the complete over

The Expected Crops.
According to the statisticians of the De-
partment of Agriculture the wheat crop
this year will be 9O.OO0.OOO bushels
greater than 1907 and $4,000. 600 greater
than 1908; the oat crop is estimated this
year at 9sa,61S,OOO bushels. as against
8O7, 10000 bushels in 1908 and 7oi, 443, 600
bushels 1907: the barley crop is 1896,
600 bushels, as against 1853. $4,000 In 1908.
and 153, 597 600 in 1av7; the rye crop is
just aa large. and the hay crop is little
larger than it has been In the past few
years.
The corn crop is little smaller than
last year and the year before. but the
prices of all these cereals have advanced
to the highest figures ever known, and
the money value of every variety Of grain
and foodstun Is greater than 1t ever has
been.
The bureau Of statistics of the Agri-
cultural Department makes the following
report of the condition of the crops

Public Land Settlement.
People out west are confident that the
calendar year 1909 will be a record
breaker in the land Office, not only be-
cause Of the number of Indian reserva-
tons that have been broken up and as
signed as homesteads to settlers by lots,
but because of the opening Of several
reclamation projects and the passage of
the Mondell act of Congress, which per-
mits settlers upon arid lands to have 800
instead Of 100 acres for dry farming.
In several places visited this summer
the registers of the land ONCE declared
that they had done the largest business
ever known. and, as a rule. reported that
August was the banner month In the
history of their offces. For example. at
the denver land office S3,323 acres Of
land were taken up in the month of
August. 1909, against 1900 acres in
August, 1905, and $3.50 acres were taken
up by original homesteaders and II, 6S5 in
desert original land entries. The receipts
for the month of August. 1909, were
$20,Ol3. as compared with $14,475 in Au-
gust 1905 Similar reports were made in
Dakota. Montana. Idaho, Oregon and
Washington.
The railway people report for this fall
the largest traffic of colOnists and land
seekers ever known. This is largely due
to extensive advertising and cheap rates.
A homeseeker can go from Chicago or
ST. Louis to almost any point In the west
for $33, and hundreds Of thousands took
advantage of the opportunity to visit the
new reclamation projects. the Indian res
ervations that are being opened and other
points where government land can be had
for nothing. Many of these people filed
entries. although the record will not ap-
pear until July next. because every trans
action that has taken place since the 3Oth
OF June will be credited to the fiscal
year OF 1910

Desert Land Entries.
BY WILLIAM T.. CrRTIS


written for "he Star and the Cbicaso Record
Herald.
Some wise people think that the con-
tinued prosperity of the farmers is de-
moralizing that important portion of our
population: that their increased incomes
are doing them more harm than good, and
that their families are departing from the
habits OF thrift. economy and the simple
life that have characterized the tillers of
the soil since the beginning of time 1t
is doubtless true that the farmhouses
particularly in the west, are now pro-
vided with more comforts, conveniences
and Injuries than the richest Of them
could afford a few years ago. and it is
true that the farmers sons and daugh-
ters 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 vehicles, and'it is
common nowadays to see him come to
town Saturday afternoon with his family
in an automobile which costs $1,000 or
$1,000. and even more.
An automobile dealer in town of
about 5000 inhabitants in Oregon told
me last month that he had sold forty-two
ma chines to farmers in that vicinity with
In the thirty days previous. and that he
expected 10 sell as many more before
snow flies. Another dealer at another
place told me that he was selling all the
machines he could deliver; that he had
orders at the factory that could not be
filled till next spring, and was afraid that
his customers would buy other machines
in the meantime, because they were
impatient TO shoot the air. as he de-
scribed II.
AS soon as a jay gets his crop in
that scornful person remarked, he wants
TO go around in a buzz wagon spending
his money.
Not long ago the highest ambition of
a farmer was to own a pair of thorough
bred horses and drive them to a piano
box buggy. and haul his family to town
but nowadays no horse is good enough
or fast enough for him. and most auto
mobiles are too slow
Automobiles Numerous.
There is. doubtless. a great deal of
truth In those observations. Any one
who attends state or county fair out
west nowadays or a horse show will
see quite as many automobiles as car.

would have been satisfied with a good
roadster and buggy few years ago.

first supposed to have been lost, have

$11 300. 249 70, and the expenditures were
$2,721, $1,000.
The Year 1902 the Record Year.


The year 1902 is the record year for
homestead entries. when the number
reached nearly 100000; in 1907 the total
was o. O0S in 1905 it was $4,000; in 1908 it
was $1,000. and this year. as l have said
already, the total was 75,445.
The year 1901 saw the largest number
of final entries. which was about 5000;
the year 1902 stands second with 81, 600.
the year 1908 stands third with 1900 and
1903, 1907 and 1903 run about even with
$500
1t Is significant fact, however. that
1909 stands far ahead of all previous
years in the number Of desert land en-
tries, which is due to the dry farming
agitation and the demonstrations that
have been made to prove that all kinds
of grain and vegetables can be raised
with rainfall Of sixteen inches. and the
passage of the Mondell act, increasing the
desert land homestead holdings to 3D.
There were 1892 original desert land en-
tries. which means that number Of farms
under cultivation In the arid belt of the
United States. There were 6.O7 timber

Despite the statements that the
Straus family prefers to stay IN
this country for various reasons,
it is well known fact that Mr..
Straus expected the ambassador

His friends also considered it
settled, for which there is ample
evidence in the recent banquet

COURAGE.

There are two kinds Of courage.
There is the heroic kind-physical
bravery; then there is the kind
you don't read about in the story
books.
There is the quiet, unshrinking
kind, which does not take NO for
an answer; fights against odds;
smiles at prejudice; is tolerant Of
ignorance; and does not rebel
against being misunderstood.
Break twig right now, and
you will see the green, and per-
haps little sap-nature reassert-
ing herself. With all the vigors
of winter and the bleakness OF
frost she reasserts herself.
Self assertion takes courage,
even at the risk Of being called
"Opinionated."
There are more heroes and She
roes in every day walks of life,
than are told Of in the histories,
or in the Carnegie Medal Records.
Think of the drudgery and daily
servitude that thousands pay TO
keep up a semblance of decency
and propriety. This is but one
form of courage.
