somewhere. Well, they did. How
do they like the attendance?
If the institute had been held at
Paducah the papers would have sent
reporters to the meetings. and pub
iished extracts of the speeches and
accounts of the daily proceedings OF
the institute. They would have pub
lished preparations for the institute
as they were made, and stimulated
public interest in the meeting right
up to the time of converting, and
men, who could not attend the first
day, would have been reminded OF
the second days sessions.
We do not know what really ac-
tuated the authorities in placing the
institute IN the county away from
Paducah; we do not know whether II
was personal aversion to Paducah, a
desire to gratisfy the ambition OF
some particular rural community, or
Just plain lack of good, sound judg-
ment; but whatever the reason, the
institute was a fiat failure, as far as
reaching the rank and file of Nc
Cracker county farmers is concerned

daughter in the course of time pass
cut of his life forever. leaving him
only an uncomfortable memory of the
money ne so cheerfully contributed
to the confidence game.
For nearly twenty years these same
knaves have been prasticing their
swindle, and il is needless to suggest
that they are very carefully organ
lied; they have confederates not only
in the United States but in most
other countries. The confederates in
question select man and find out all
they can about him: they get hold of
family names, family origin, and
family characteristics. This informa-
tion is transmitted to the rascals in
Spain and letters are at once written
to the prospective victim. The scheme
is presented and developed in a very
plausible way and many of our
fellow countrymen have "bitten"
promptly and cheerfully.
Under the Spanish laws felony
must be consummated before the
police may act. and a mere attempt
to obtain money by false pretenses
does not appear to warrant arrest.
The money must be actually paid
over and the prosecuting witness
must be present +. propria persona
to testify; otherwise prosecution
would be useless.
Recently the letters written to the
distant relative have varied some
what from the original; the political
prisoner having become noted Rus
sian banker who absconded, leaving
"a deficit of some millions of roubles,
killed in a quarrel in England an
other Russian, and finally took refuge
in Spain. whore he was apprehended
and charged with mansIaughter.
This change of character. however,
is immateriai, and in the future more
new characters will probably be in
tnoduced by the gang. The scheme
is the same. ana the public il warned
to place no credence in such or SINH
lar etters.
Every effort has been made by the
department of state and its repre-
sentatives in Spain to unmask these
scoundrels and bring them TO justice,
and the Spanish authorities have also
been active and several members Of
the gang have been apprehended and
hid for trial, but so far no convic-
tons have resulted. owing probably
to the popularity OF the Spanish law
referred to in the report of the con-
sul-generll at Barcelona.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

'The McCracken County Farmers
Institute at Moxon was excellent in
every feature excepting attendance. %
says a report. which we received
from there by mail.
We could conceive OF no feature
more important than the one, which
failed of excellence on this occasion.
The only thing that could possibly
make up for the lack CT attendance
would be the widespread publicity of
the proceedings That is possible
only in two ways: by sending out
printed pamphlets or by publication
in newspapers. The latter method is
the only way to insure the proceed
ings being read. The only way to
secure publicity of the proceedings of
the institute in the newspapers is to
lold the institute whore the news
papers can cover 1t.
Thus We see that the McCracken
County Farmers Institute is an alb
so,ute failure this year, and the fail
ure Is the entire fault OF the man,
who located it away on in the county,
Instead cf bringing II to Paducah.
We understand, that at one time
the local promoters, responsible
for locating the institute, declared
that they could not get a crowd to
attend m Paducah; so they would
hold it of in a corner OF the county

James J. Hill, a prophet among his
people, declared at Washington again
that history shows that the high
cost of living is the beginning of
every national decline" High living
he might have said; but II means the
same thing. High Is relative term.
There are hundreds of thousands of
acres of valuable land in the heart of
the most densely settled sections of
this country, which are not under
cultivation. Mr.. Hill has opened
question of national concern. For
tunately the increase in the price of
farm products is accompanied with
an increase farm values, which is
gradually tempting people back TO
the country, whore living conditions
are being bettered. Prophets are
valuable. If their warnings are heed
ed in time.

merely for additional Dreadnaughts.
