The Modern Farmer.

Inquiry lie occasionally heard from
the unduly curious as to what has be-
come OF the old-fashioned woman and
old-fashioned man, who did things in
ways that have been forgotten by peo-
pie of today. They have gone to join
the candle-molds our mothers used
and the crinolines they wore, and the
old-fashioned farmer who titled his
soil by rule of thumb and returned
thanks TO a bountiful Providence for
whatever crop he might harvest.
The farmer Of today is no more like
his progenitor than is the modern city
man like the troglodyte. With his
soil-testing and his seed-testing, his
knowledge Of chemistry and bacteriol-
ogy, his gasoline engines and electric
appliances, his automobiles and his
telephones, the farmer of today is
more truly a scientific manufacturer
than many of the men who are the
heads of institutions allied with intri-
cate machinery.
The modern farmer plants and reaps
with an exactitude Of purpose and a
certainty of result that admits of no
dispute. He breeds his grains and
grasses, his fruits and flowers, just as
he breeds his farm animals, and with
the sole purpose of continually Inn
proving the strain, increasing the yield
and advancing the general result
If the farmers position and impor-
lance to society has been misunder-
stood by the poor city toiler it is not
the farmers fault. It is time, how
ever, for the city man to wake up to an
understanding realization OF the fact
that the farmer to today is a scientific
gentleman of such quality that he
rightly holds his position fairly at the
head OF our wealth producers.

The National spirit in Canada.

Canada has taken another decisive
step toward independence in prepar-
ing to build ten new warships. Pro-
visiOnal governments do not as a rule
expend their own money In sums OF
10000, 900 for naYies for the mother
countries. For that matter, when the
Dominion let contracts some time ago
for two vessels and Britain com
mended it's spirit OF loyalty TO the
crown. the Canadian premier quickly
disillusiOned the proud Mr.. Bull with
the simple statement that those war
ships were for Canada, not England,
and that they would remain in Cana
dian docks until required TO defend
Canadian interests. They would be
sent to the relief OF England, he de-
clared. only when the same power that
threatened British safety also menaced
Canada.
That was a very plain way OF put
ting the fact that Canada had decided
to begin preparations for a separate
government. Since then the national
spirit has been growing and spreading,
until today it is general through the
vast domain. L would be unnatural
for events to shape themselves diner

Thc Power OF Feaoe.

The conquering arm of war is not
the one on which the venerable Diaz
leans for chief support as for the
eighth time he assumes the presidency
Of Mexico. The power of peace is his
stay now. Militarism is O. broken
reed, even with this old warrior who
wrested authority in the first place
from another grim general of many
battles. In his felicitous address to
the representatives of other nations
President Diaz reavows his faith in
the permanent stability and prosperity
of the Mexican republic. not because
of it's military prowess, but because it
is at peace with other countries.
The man who for a third Of a cen
fury has guided the affairs of Mexico
knows what he says of her progress
is true, and knows better than anyone
else what that progress has cost. But
since he and Santa Ana first met a new
day has dawned and the power Of
peace, not war, supplies the sinews of
national growth and greatness. Mex
leo may have her little revolts at
home, but so long as she is led by one
as wise as Diaz she will do her utmost
to avoid international strife. She has
enough control of her hot Latin pas
sions to guarantee that. And even in
this latest civil turmoil we see for the
first time in Mexico's history the white
flag of Cancellation raised by the gov
eminent to the insurgents. It is only
another manifestation of the peace
policy of Diaz, a concession to vested
property rights whose interests are
impaired, not improved, by war.
1t is a debatable question whether
Diaz's long rule has been. best for Mex
leo, but 1t is not open to question that
Diaz, a man of natural strength and
wisdom, has done for his country
what, perhaps, no other man of his time
could have done better. To be sure.
he has not overlooked the ends of his
personal ambition and he has been
AASAASO AuhpSA oOhdIcuJ Out WneLler or
not that has been worse for Mexico
than would have been a rotary system
Of rulers is a matter which, we believe,
can be better determined after Diaz
has passed away and Diazism has been
tested by time and the influence of his
successors. Certain it is that his wis
dom, his foresight, his firm hand In
dealing with his own and other people
have contributed vastly to the develop
ment and upbutlding of his nation.
Long ago he perceived the necessity
OF interesting foreign capital in Mex
lean enterprises. and he was able to do
this. He saw that while the clash of
arms was good way to win office, it
was poor way to develop a country
and so he chose the only means, that
of peaceful pursuits. Through the
power of peace Mexico has achieved
more than any other Latin nation and
it will always be an open question if
she would have achieved as much but
for POrfirio Diaz.

The Expsrt Civic Doctor.

St. Paul has awaked TO the fact that
II has its halo on wrong Things
have been going awry in so many de-
partments OF its civic life that it has
raised the distress sign and sent out
an emergency call for help. Il is not
certain just what is the matter That
is the rub. II wants these expert
civic doctors to determine that for 1t.
Among those called in to administer
to the city's ills is a woman who has
got herself noted as an expert in TAX
ing the kinks out of municipal indiges-
ton, and to her the city handed a
thousand dollars.
Now the good woman has passed on
to other fields of financial conquest
and, behold, her Sanity patient is still
not a whit better off than before 1t
took her medicine. At least, that is
the inference of a letter addressed to
one Of the st. Paul newspapers by
citizen who evidently did not get in
the hurrah bandwagon. This citizen
agrees with the paper that ultimate
benefit" will result from the feminine
experts visit, but 1t will be chiefly the
benefit she feels in that thousand dol
lars. st. Paul will not feel any.
st. Paul may be upside down as a
city; we do not know We had always
imagined 1t was a well-governed, pro-
gressive, pretty place, and certainly in
the last ten years It has made an ex-
cellent showing in population. But IL
it is as thoroughly diseased civicly as
some Of its papers would lead one to
suppose. then, of course, 1t is time for
treatment. But st. Paul is just like
a few other cities that have gone
wrong on this civic expert fake. 1t
is trying to shift from the shoulders
of its own citizens O duty which only
they can perform. There are enough
hard-headed men and women in st.
Paul to determine precisely what ails
the city and prescribe and administer
the proper remedy. The sane, practi-
cal citizens Of any city are far better
qualified to do this sort of thing than
all the outside civic doctors that ever
peddled their quack nostrums. Most
of these people have figured out a cute
way to make an easy living, and go
from place to place reaplng their
harvests. There are a few who by
careful study of municipal government
have acquired the right of expert
opinion, but even they are not as
rule as capable of meeting the imme-
diate needs of city as the thorough
going citizens Of that community, who
know its needs by years of practical
contact and who are wrspt up in its
welfare, vitality concerned in doing
what will promote it.

SECULAR SHOTS AN THE PULPIT.

Boston Transcript: The pope has done
wisely to forbid the Catholic clergy to take
an active part in financial enterprises,
even in those which have a charitable
scope or to lend their names OF influence
to any business speculation. Clerical gen.
tlemen who enter the field Of finance are
VIGOROUSLY liable to put their money on the
wrong horse.
Lesles Weekly: A revolution Of church
finances is presaged by the abolition Of
the collection plate by all Of the Methodist
churches Of Cook county, Illinois. Meth
odist churches have never had the pew
renting system, and the collection plate
method of gathering revenue has seemed to
be a necessary part OF Methodist worship.
It is highly significant that it is among
churches of this denomination that the
initial step has been taken which may
eventually supersede the time-honored col
lection plate by a more buslnesslike sys-
tenn.
Philadelphia Record: There will be very
general regret in the community that the
venerable Bishop whitaker Of the Prot
estant Episcopal diocese has been obliged
to resign most Of his functions. He is 80
years Of age and for some time past his
health has been precarious. It is twenty
five years since he became coadjutor to
Bishop Stevens, whom he succeeded two
years later. He was trained In a rather
hard but an extremely good school for
the functions which he has exercised with
so much ability and discretion in Pennsyl-
vania. He had two pastorates in Nevada,
and for sixteen years was missionary
bishop there. 1t was not easy work In
Nevada forty years ago and more, but
the men who have done notable work in
middle and later life have generally done
very hard work in their early years.

GOULD NOW PLANNING
BRAND NEW ROAD
lO THE COAST
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Salt Lake, March 31.-Having fin
ished the Western Pacific to San
Francisco, George Gould now pro-
poses to build line to Los Angeles.
Surveyors have been started to COM
plete the line between Marysvale,
Utah, and San Diego, via Los An
geles, and surveys are now being
carefully revised that were made 10
years ago by order of Gen. w. ].
Palmer and Col. d. C. Dodge, then
in control of the Rio Grande Western,
line that since has become the big
Utah system of the Gould group.
Marysvale is 1913 miles southwest
of this city and the route from there
traverses a line parallel to the San
Pedro road, but on the other side of
the range and through a more fertile
region. Notable among the points
reached is Cedar City, with a vast
tonnage in sight of iron and coal,
as well as the products of animals,
of forests and of the soil. st. George
is next, the center of a rich agricul-
tural country and but 81 miles from
the Ktakab plateau, where there is a
forest of fine timber of vast extent.
Below st. George the old survey runs
to the east of the San Pedro road,
with San Bernardino shown as the
objective point, but the surveyors in
the field below Marysvale have orders
to run surveys with Los Angeles and
San Diego as the two objective points
as follows:
Ffrst-Crossing the Colorado river
near Rioville and then to White Hills
and Kingman, now Santa Fe sta
tions.
Second-Down the west side of the
Colorado river to secure an available
route over the San Bernardino and
San Jacinto ranges
Two separate companies have been
| Incorporated to build to st. George
and the San Pedro is calculated on
this route because of the impossibility
of the present route.
This is thought to be the reason
for the Gould determination to pro-
tect its own territory, st. George be-
ing the original destination of the
Marysvale branch.
