It Is a great thing to measure our wheat fields by the mile, not by the acre, but we should also consider that it is the size of the crop rather than the size of the field that counts.

WHENCE THE
 WORD "GRINGo."

The San Angelo. Texas. Standard has been asked to define the meaning of the word "Grfngo." term applied by Mexicans to all Americans, but not as some contend to all foreigners.
 The word Gringo has no equivalent in English or any other language. It's origin came about in this way: Dur ing the invasion of Mexico by the American army under General Scott. the old Scottish song Green Grow the Rushes, O. was quite popular throughout the United States and also the army and the air became a fav- orite with the military bands which accompanied the invading forces. Hearing this tune played so often in camp and more especially during the assaults. charges and fighting around ANA@eS A>o dA4CIhcs AAOltlO uCl Key, Churubusco and Chapultepec. the Mexicans became familiar with the air and from prisoners and other sour ces learned its name. Green Grow. !" etc, which they were unable to pro nouncc according to the American standard. their nearest approach be- ing ''Gringo." Hay yienen los Grin gos!- CThe Green Grows are coming became a common expression. while the American troops were advancing and fighting their way into the MexI- can capital and unto this day the man from the United States of the North is known among Mexicans as Grin go. The name. however. is not used or applied in polite circles; ike the sord ~cachupiD" as applied to fhs Spanish. 1t is used more in a sense of derision than Of respect

A WISE WORD FROM A RAILROAD MAN.

James J. Hill, he railroad magnate, warns the country that we shall be- fore long have to import wheat if we do not increase the productiveness of our farms. To those who look. deeply into the matter there is seen to be only too much cause for Mir HiIl's warnings, for the fact is that the Unit ed States is steadily declining in it's production of wheat in proportion to its own population and is very rapidly declining in proportion to the product of other countries. The United States has the unenviahle prominence Of be- ing the only great wheat country. ex- cepting Argentina, where conditions are entirely different, the population of which is increasing more rapidly than the production of wheat. In the 9 years from 1881 to 1906 the thir- teen wheat growing countries of Flu rope increased in population over 26 per cent and in the production of wheat over 2S per cent. As for Can ada and Australia their population has increased 51 per cent and their wheat yield I2O per cent. In the same time the United States and Argentina grew in population 6S per cent and in wheat production only 60 per cent. In Argentina the growth has been more largely through immigration than in the United States and the difference between it and the growth in wheat is Hess significant But in this country lit seems obvious that if the popula- ition continues to increase faster than the growth of wheat 1t is only ques- ton of time when the wheat crop will he insufficient to feed the people. The most important point made by Mr. Hnl in recent interviews is that cur decline as wheat growing country

WHAT OF PROHiBiTIoN2

Half century ago seventeen states were under prohibition. They tried it to their own satisfaction and after trial sixteen of the number abandon- ed 1t. The only state that has pre- serveI a relic of the acts is Maine and the very mention of the name in spires visions Of hypocrisy. In tnese latter days other states. refusing to profit hy the lessons of history. have attempted the experiment and wher- ever the trial has lasted for a period of six months it's failure is startling Jy apparent.
 z In all these states the prohibition ist has become the political co-part- ner of the bootlegser. the speak easy, the blind pig and the private locker. Prohibition has made their existence and their business possible and in re-  turn, to show their appreciation of faYors bestowed as well as ia defense of their nefarious calling. they vote for prohibition whenever prohibition is an issue.

And that is not the worst of it In every prohibition district there is invariably strong minority of men who do not believe h prohibition, who regard It as aa uavarrantcd and uaiusanable invasion of their rights, destructive Of the personal liberty which belongs to thsm and which can not te taken away from them if our institutions Of government are to ca durc.

 Knowing that in cer;ain states pro intuition will not carry. they seek 10 prohibit by counties. by securing the enactment of so-called county op- ton" laws. It cannot be that such jaws are constitutional because, they mustproceed upon the theory that the political subdivision we caIi county is the unit of government The coun. ty is not the unit. nor can 1t be made the unit without first sbolishing the smaller subdivisions. 1t is a com oination or community of units.

y Banker Henry Clews, in his weekly review of Wall street conditions, states that ''the< proba bilities are for an ac- tive market with sharp movements in both directions and the general ten dency towards a lower and safer lev -el'' He attributes this to "the grow
 ing frmness in money, the gradual passing of stocks from strong into weaker hands and the unfriendly at titude of European banking interests towards recent stock manipulations over here" F'irmness~ in money is the result of crop and trade requirements; the passing of stocks into weaker hands is due to the fact that 5"the big operators are steadily feeding out stocks on every rise'; the unfriendly attitude of European banking inter ests is attributed to distrust of the un- paralleled speculative campaign which has been carried on here by power ful interests. The net result of these conditions is weaker market.

IAN OPEN DOOR
 FOR DEBAUCHERY

i The New Haven Journal-Cour1er 6nds. from facts developed in connec- kion with the recent election in that sboity, that there are grave defects in khe new corrupt practices act. It ,cnarges .the conspiring Judiciary com
 nittee'' of the Legislature with having 50 emasculated the law as to permit Seorrupt or questionable political prac- kces, and says: el ! Just what this emasculation1 of the Jaw means has been made clear to iSorie of the candidates in the recent local election, who have attempted to report to the community through the Town Clerk the amount and manner of their campaign expenditures. Those swilo, through accident, ignorance or fdesign, failed to appoint political hgent previous to the election, are not obliged to file stat dement's. That duty, under the law, iss reserved for candi- Mates who took the law seriously and Appointed political agents. or for can kdidates who desired to make certain tprescribed expenditures which are 1e- gal only when made through polit- dca1 agent. Tn other words, a can didate for office is at once placed in A position under the new law where he can afford to run every risk in ex- pending money, and in nine hundred and ninety times out of a thousand escape prosecution. The 1oopholes in the law have obviously, too, been re- fnforced by the elimination of the sec ton creating an election court to in uuire into supicfous political conduct.
 Take icne ilustration z of the utter futility of the amended law. Every candidate for office who advertised his canvass in the newspapers of the city directly and not through his po- Iitical agent is guilty of an illegal act. There are several such, but, does any body suppose for a moment that any prosecuting officer will sue, or if suing will be able to find public support ?, There are doubtless other candidates
 who appointed political agents and acted through them whose filed state ments are not worth the paper they are written on from the point of view of being accurate statements of fact. In other words, the well informed have been safe from the first in con ed, while the honestly inclined have been given no protection against methods which were weakening to their interests. The rights of the pub lie have been ignored altogether. So that when: one comes ito studying the act of 1909 : in it's practical bearing; upon the political morals. of Connee- cut it is worse than no law at all, for it presumes Ato give a protection which it is no. ones business to see is; given. An avowed admission of the right of candidate for office to spend
 many. as he pleases would be far more moral than the law now on the statute books. 4
 If as a consequence of the enact mentsof this law, the State of Connec- ticut lis in the immediate future de- bauched as for instances in the. cleo tion of Representatives and Senators, Whdse business it will be to elect Dnited States Senator, the fault can be laid at the door of the general as semhly in general and at the door of a Knowing or ignorant judiciary com- anittee in particular.
