Maori SuGrageftes.

Women of the Maori tribe of New
Zealand are now appearing as features
of the show at the Hippodrome in New
York City, and as they are educated
and cultivated persons, and have the
right to full suffrage in their native
land, they chose three delegates to rep
resent them at Mrs. Pankhursts lee
ture in Carnegie hall recently. They
were Kiri Matao. widow of an old
Maori chief; Waapi, young political
leader and a prohibitionist, and Drama,
who is q. and cast her vote for the
Conservatives at the last election. Eng
iishmen in New Zealand have extend
ed to women all the rights they them
selves have, and that Mrs. Pankhurst
and the English suffrc gettes of all
sorts ask for.-Springfeld Republican.

The Three Essentials That Are Civ
ing Western Canada Greater Inn
pulse than Ever This Year.
Inc reports from the grain fields Of
Central Canada (Which comprises the
provinces OF Manitoba. Saskatchewan
AKA Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with
previous years in proving that this
portion of the continent is capable or
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price. and
from all parts of an area of about
100000 square miles ther" comes the
strong refrain of cOnte .,ment and
satisfaction. In the distribution of
the conditions causing it 10 district
has been overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
as what has been done individually.
The grand t0tal-say 100000 BUSH
els-may have its effect on the grain
prices of the world; it may be inter-
esting to know that in the worlds
markets the wheat crop of Canada
has suddenly broken upon the trading
boards. id with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India is now factor
in the making of prices. If so to-day.
what will be its effect five or ten years
from now, when, instead OF there be-
ing seven million acres under crop.
with a total yield of 125,000,000 or
I30,0O0,O 900 bushels, there will be from
1900, 900 to 100000 acres in wheat
with a yield of from 325, 100000 to
6a0.000,000 bushels. When it is con-
sidered that the largest yield in the
United States but slightly exceeded
7O0,O0O,000 bushels, the greatness OF
these figures may be understood. Well,
such is a safe forecast, for Canada has
the land and it has the soil. Even to-
day the Province of Saskatchewan, one
of the three great wheat growing
provinces of Canada, with 100000
acres under wheat, produces nearly
9O,O00,000 bushels, or upwards of Che
tenth of the greatest yield of the Unit
ed States. And Saskatchewan is yet
only in the beginning of its develop
ment As Lord Grey recently pointed
out in speaking on this very subject,
this years crop does not represent
one-tenth of the soil equally fertile
that is yet to be brought under the
plough.
Individually, reports are to hand of
yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty
five bushels to the acre. Scores of
yields are reported of forty and some
as high as sixty bushels. The farmer.
who takes care o. his soil, who gets
his seed-bed ready early, is certain OF
splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout t. e Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know it's capabilities.

why Lee Failed.

A military critic. reviewing the per-
sonal narrative of the battle Of
Gettysburg written by Col. Frederick
A. Haskell of Wisconsin, within a
month after the fight, but only re
Gently published, finds in it new rea-
son to ask the question, why did
zen. Lee fail?"
AS soldier. he AYERS, Lee is in
dubitably a far greater figure than
Meade. How could such a leader. fail,
in the prime of his power, and with an
army almost matchless, practically
equal in numbers to the adversaties
whom he had repeatedly beaten? What
brought that proud spirit so low that
he fell into depression and begged that
he might be allowed to resign?
Gen. Morris Schaff, a graduate Of
West Point, and a soldier of long ex-
perience, in some of his discursive re.
marks in his story of the Battle of the
Wilderness, gives a plausible answer
to this question, probably without hav-
ing seen it, as his story was written
before the review above referred to ap-
peared.
Lees orders in every case to those
in front that day we're qualified by
the caution not to bring on a general
engagement Orders of this kind.
Schaff says, are embarrassing: for a
corps or division commander never
knows how far to push his successes.
Then he adds:
Their evils had a good illustration
at Gettysburg. There Lee used iden.
tically the same language on the first
day: and when Trimble urged Ewell
to take advantage of the complete
overthrow of our First corps and fol-
low up our disordered troops and
seize the Cemetery Ridge, he replied
that he had orders from Lee not to
bring on a gem raj engagement. Lees
orders were indeterminate and there
fore hampering; and 'or that reason.
and On that account, believe, he lost
the battle of Gettysburg
Speaking from military stand
point, it is quite likely that Gen. Lee
erred from excessive caution. realizing
! that he was in the enemy's country,
and that if defeated an energetic com.
mander opposed to him might push
him to destruction.

Ground for Optimism

Optimistic talk is of little benefit un- less 1t is based on something reason able or tangible. But through the period of business depression it was natural for those who had faith in an early revival of prosperity to talk hope. fully. and i'll expressing optimistic views allowance was made for a reasonable amount of exaggerating.
 The improvement in the industrial situation, however, is now so marked and is coming on so fast that the most ardent prophet of good times will not be questioned when he forecasts for next fall great activity in every mining and manufacturing district in the United States.
 A glance at the telegraphic report on the iron and steel trade, found in an other column, is, indeed. cheering. For three successive weeks these reports, not of hearsay or prediction, but of actual business contracted for, have been better and better. The Chicago district is highly prosperous and the Pittsburg district is again the scene of industrial stir. Prosperity is contagious and the Birmingham district will soon be buster than ever before. It is safe to say that within the next two or three months the demand for labor will be as pressing as it was in 1906.

TIDE OF IMMIGRATION

that there will be an enormous increase in this class of immigration within a month or two.
 The immigration bureau Is now able to ascertain what becomes of the aliens, as a rule. During the period from July l, 190S to March 1, 1909, there were S2s6s immigrant aliens ad- mitted. New York state received 94,- 7o9, Pennsylvania 52.222, Illinois 25,241, Massach usetts 22,O69, New Jersey IT, 6S6 and Ohio 1S,47s. Here is a total of 225,405 In other words, six states received two thirds of all the immi- grafton for a period of eight months, and this, too, in spite of the fact that during that period 57,06S of the im- migrants were c1assed as farm labor CTS, 5S,064 as common laborers and 3D. 5S4 as servants. Manifestiy the great mass of foreigners coming to this coun- trys continue to be of a class which would be better off and have better prospects for the future if they went into villages and on farms instead of focking to the cities, to railroad camps, to the mines and to similar overcrowded places

Four Candidates In the Field

Dr. Tarrant makes plain the fact that at heart he is opposed to the fee system. If any criticism of his posi- tion be possible it would no doubt con- sist in his inclination to find doubts and difficulties in any statute framed under section 96. He asks for a bill based on population when bill based on the judgment of each county board would be equally equitable and prob ably more satisfactory.
 Dr. Tarrant seems inclined to favor as preliminary step the repeal of section 96. He is right, eminently right, when he says that section should never have been incorporated in the constitution of 1901. At that time the fee brigade and other special interests were conducting the state, and they proceeded to gumshoe section 96 onto the people.
