On the question Of Industrial peace,

ment and its advantages. MIR. Lynch
says:
without question, our agreement
with the American Newspaper publish
ers' association, under which industrial
peace in the great newspaper composing
rooms Of the country has been the rule
for the last eight years, has contributed
materially to the earning power Of our
members employed in the newspaper
branch.
The conclusion is that organization
and trade agreements work to increase

Honoring Modieska.

The public funeral accorded Madam
Modjeska at Crakow, Poland, must be
recognized as an unusual tribute to a
remarkable woman. 1t is not strange
that a woman should have such a pub
lie burial, but 1t was a triumph for
her genius that the exile who had
been driven from her native land and
forbidden to return should be thus
honored. To be sure. not all Of her
triumph wac reserved for posthumous
honoring, for she had been welcomed
while yet living and honored for her
art.
or noble birth, Modjeska came to
the United States practically penni-
less when her free expression OF ma
tive patriotism had brought about her
Punishment. A stranger to our Ian
guage and people, she mastered the
one and captured the other by her
wonderful dramatic art. Hers was a
master genius, which finally forced
recognition IN the land once denied to
her.
In Omaha. where she visited. and
elsewhere where she resided she was
honored no less for her personal
charms and n%obleness Of character
than for her dramatic art and there
will be many present in spirit to help
her native city cherish her memory.

Of England not only runs counter to a re-

Rallinger ON Power Sitaa.

Restoration to public entry Of land
withdrawn for power sites by the
Roosevelt administration is presented
In a new light by Secretary Ballinger
in his interview at Seattle. The sec
rotary had been freely, criticised for
his action, which, 1t was charged,
would enable the so-called interests
to gobble up valuable privileges, and
II the secretary's order tended to such
a result the objection would have been
well founded. Mr.. Ballinger ex-
planned that the original action was
taken IN imperfect information, and
to be on the safe side the department
withdrew much land not in any way
essential to preserve water power
sites and privileges. Investigation by
the geological survey service has indi-
Gated what is needed and also dis
closed many available locations not
originally reserved. These have been
withdrawn from entry and the remain
ing lands restored to settlement.
If the facts are as represented, and
II is fair to presume that they are,
the Interior department is entitled to
commentator instead Of criticism.
There is no good reason why valuable
agricultural lands should be withheld
from settlers who want them when
they are not needed to preserve more
important interests. On the other
hand, the public will hold to strict
account officials charged with retain
ing for the government valuable
power and water rights. With the de-
velopment OF irrigation and electrical
power these are Of increasing value,
and those still belonging to the pub
lie domain should not be permitted to
pass into private hands without proper
restrictions to protect the public. The
geological survey bureau is composed
of capable men and exceptionally free
from scandal In the past and, as a
general proposition. the government
will be on the safe side II It follows
the bureaus advice.

Employees as Shareholders.
EnrinRfIeld RanuhIican-

The international Harvester company or
trust is following the United States Steel
corporation in making special effort to
bring employees Into the ompany as share
holders. There are 5000 of them. and the
company is offering 1850 preferred shares
and 1900 common at prices Sc and so
under the present market quotations. 1t
is expected that a large majority will take
advantage Of the offer, as easy terms of
payment are provided on installments to
be taken from wages. This is the best
way to go about the settlement of the
labor question. 1t is real cooperation as
distinguished from profit sharins-exclusIve
Of loss sharing.

abandoned Farms in England.

England is worried at present owe
not only a decrease in its farm popula-
ton, but a shrinkage in the number Of
acres under cultivation. II has 1901
600 acres less under cultivation now
than ten years ago and 2,S25 less
small farm holdings than thirty years
ago. A commission which investigated
the subject ascribes this situation to
the impossibility Of ownership by the
tenant leading to slack methods which
rendered farming Improbable and
recommend giving the tenant a chance
70 purchase. or at least the benefit of
enhanced value due to better care and
more scientific tillage. The English
farmer has not learned the lesson of
intensive tillage as has the farmer in
France, Belgium, Holland. Denmark
and Germany, and the old system of
land tenure has offered little encour
J Agement for him TO do so.

A New York banking house Of high
standing gives out a o roseate fore
cast of the progress Of the United
States in population and business
growth in the next decade. 1t esti-
mates that our population in 1920 will
be 100, O00,OO and that trade and
manufacturing will expand as never
before in the history of the country.
The Justification for this prediction
is the immense resources of the coun-
try, the demonstrated capacity for ex-
pansion and the phenomenal manner
in which the country ecovers from
panics and sstbacks such as occurred
in 1907. No country in the world, we
are reminded, ever faced so serious a
situation as the United States did at
that time and on other similar occa-
sions and recovered from them with so
little permanent injury and in so short
a time. No reason exists why the next
decade should witness any serious re-
verse, as conditions are hsslthful and
there are large our yet un-
touched awaiting development a. well
as opportunity to expand present ones.
Such forecasts are pleasant TO con-
template and so far as can be foreseen
there is nothing to indicate they are
not fairly warranted. No domestic or
foreign complications GEO be imagined
