Model Farm VILLAGES

In the newly irrigated regions of
the west the government is laying
out model farm villages, and the ex-
pertinent has novel features which
make 1T an interesting study. Inten-
sive methods and the certainty of
water make possible large crops on
small area, and the plan is to have
the farmers and their families CEN
tralized in small communities within
easy access of their outlying farms.
In the Sun River valley, Montana, for
instance, twenty towns are now be-
ing laid out six miles apart, so that
no farmer, even if he lives in the
most remote corner of his farm, is
more than three miles from the
school, church, stores and offices of
the village. Moreover, the towns are
connected by trolley lines, the power
being supplied by the irrigation ca
nails which furnish water and power
for the farms.
There is similar arrangement in
Southern Idaho, where thousands of
people have found homes and have
prospered in a region which was alb
solutely desolate and uninhabited a
few years ago.
This plan eliminates the loneliness
and many disadvantages of farm life,
where the homes are far apart and
many miles from city or village.
Of course it is possible only in
new country, where the town is ar
bitrarily located and made to order,
and not the result of natural condi-
lions and slow development
The older farming communities of
the country will watch with interest
the government program in this mat
ter, for in it they will find hints for
the solution of their own problems
problems toward the happy settle
ment of which long steps have been
taken within the past generation

Hint to Those Who Hare Money

anxious to do something for these
people, you just send description of
this community to our Foreign Mis-
sion Board and state that it is in
Africa, Japan or China and in less
than forty-eight hours Town Talk
office will be full of new books and
clothes and some cash in the drawer.
Our foreign missionary cranks have
so much sympathy for the blacks in
Africa and the yellow and browns in
Japan and China, that they can't see
any objects of charity in their own ma
tional household. Now, We mission
aries of Rapides, go to your Bible and
see what is said about he that fails
to provide for his own household.
Now. Mr.. Editor, I never want to
read another line in any paper pub
lished in this State advertising it's
resources and prosperity, as long as
such conditions exist within it's bor-
ders.
Yours for home mission and that
alone until there's not an object of
charity in our national household.

@1HERT'S paper called Clown
Talk" is published in little
town in Louisiana. 1t had a
call for old clothes. We pub
lish the call and letter from an in
ested in domestic mission work will
profit by the news paper plea and the
reply which a level-headed citizen
sent in reply. The newspaper article
comes first:
"Old Books and Clothes Needed"
Any of our citizens who have school
books and clothing which their own
children have discarded, will do a
real act of kindness and charity by
notifying box 253, Alexandria, or
Town Talk, phone 10. The books
and clothing will be called for.
There is a community in the pine
woods section where there are chill
dren, fifteen or more, in destitute
condition. A good school will open
in their midst, in September, but
they have not the clothes to wear or
the books to use.
Town Talk has it from good au-
thority that small children in these
families are many times wrapped in
pieces of old sheets because they
haven't the wherewith to buy mate
rial to make clothes. A series of
misfortunes overlook these people,
and they are helpless to provide for
themselves at this time. The father
in one family has cataracts growing
over his eyes, and he is frequently
seen in the woods trying to split
wood to bring to town to sell. His
eyes are SO badly affected that he has
to slip his hands over the log to feel
for the place in which to drive the
wedge. Surely this is a case of
charity, and our good citizens cannot
Withstand this call for assistance.
One girl in another family is six
teen years old, and has never had
the opportunity of attending school.
Let us help to bring light and sun
shine into these homes. Small gifts
from many people will not be felt by
any one, but will be a great uplift to
those so afflicted.

Here's the reply:

Bruce, La, Aug. 2, 1910.
Editor Town Talk:-You'll find
enclosed $1.00 which you'll please
give to the fifteen or more children
residing in the pine-woods, an &C
count of which was given in last
weeks paper under the heading of
cold Books and Clothes Needed
I have no old books that would be
of any service to the children, as the
school board doesn't allow us to keep
them long enough to get old. The
reason why-well, you just ask them
SO far as the old clothes is concern
ed, I'm sorry to say that we are using
them ourselves, and We will have to
continue doing so until the Infamous
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill that the
twenty-three Democrats who desert
ed their own ranks and went to the
aid of old Joe Cannon, which en-
abled him to see that it became eff
fective, is repealed.
I'd ust as soon go to my slop tub
which contains the dish water and
refuse of the table that is set apart
for the hogs, and given to them to
eat. as to offer them my old books
and clothes that has been discarded
by my family.
While I'm willing to admit that
these children will be glad to re-
ceive any old books and clothes that
we may see fit to give them, I say if
their father is Industrious enough to
try to work when he's so near blind
that he can't see where to stick his
wedge, that they deserve something
better. We have some school-houses
in this parish that are so costly and
nicely fitted up that these children
would not be admitted with my old
clothes on; besides we may have
some teachers that would not want
to get in forty feet of them for fear
that they'd get their best clothes
soiled.

eHnOfher Shame

y
Governor between Smith and Brown
the ministers took the side of Smith
and with the aid of Seab Wright told
us to watch the lineup, suggesting
that the barrooms and the thugs were
on the Brown side, which statement
might have been true.
But the scene that was enacted
over the victory of Smith last week
in Atlanta! The patriotic Christian
would say ''give us the buns and the
barrooms as lineup" for the Brown
victory called for no such demonstra-
ton.
No one claims anything for Joe
Hill Hall, but he is citizen of the
State and has a right to be heard
No one who has any judgment at all
could be Influenced by what he says,
but countrys government should
be built upon the consent of the gov
erned, and the minority should have
say if they desire.
The mob, headed by Hardwick (and
no doubt instigated by Hoke Smith
himself, or, at least, it could not have
been launched without his knowl-
edge and consent), howled Watson
down, who was showing up in pub
lie gathering the high-handed wick
edness of the country; the Atlanta
Georgian endorsed the riot and the
Constitution moralized on Watson.
If those things don't show moral and
spiritual decay of the most damning
type, we would dread to be shown
what the Smith crowd would call de-
pravity. Or, perhaps, they would
point to the Brown election and ad-
ministration. Then we would take
the Brown type.
No self-respecting citizen can en-
dorse such conduct, however much he
may admire Governor Smith, and such
proceedings sooner or later will en-
throne anarchy.
The strangest thing in this world
is the respectable citizen, protesting
to be Christian, offering as argu-
ment in defense of charges of bribery
in elections, "The other side does the
same thing" How under high
heaven could sane man hatch pa
triotism out of such stuff?
1t is stated, and with reasonable
grounds for belief, that Hoke Smiths
election was purchased with two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars from
the cOca-cola king, Brother Asa
Gambler.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Jim
Smith spent considerable money, all
of which Hoke Smith got the benefit
of. Jim Smith denies the charge, but,
personally knowing Jim Smith, as a
great number of us do, we can take
the liberty of saying that there is no
law that compels us to believe all we
hear or see.
If we uphold such proceedings, we
may just as we'll knock down the dis
reimbursement law, blot out the white
primary and return to the reign of
the ninetieS

NOT INDICTED,
BUT TO RESIGN
internal Revenue Office Investiga-
ton Will Cause Many
Changes.
(From saturday 5 Advertiser.l }

There was no o'change yesterday in the
matter Of the investigation of the af
fairs Of the local internal revenue office,
except that Revenue Agent Thomas was
again before the grand jury with the
books of the Office. Witnesses from
Hilo have been subpoenaed to appear
before the grand jury, though it is un-
derstood that their evidence is TO be
only eorroborative of conditions shown
by the books.
1t is not probable that there will be
any indictment returned by the grand
jury, though there may be recon-
mendation of changes in the office. 1t
is regarded as certain that Collector
Drake and some, if not all, of his depu-
ties will leave the internal revenue
service.
So far as is known, there is not likely
to be any charge of any intentional vio-
lation of the law or any dishonesty.
The main trouble appears to be that the
failure to observe certain Of the very
stringent requirements Of the depart
mental regulations constitutes technical
violation of the law.
Collector Drake has been regarded as
very capable officer, and has as many
friends in Hawaii as any other man in
the Territory. 1t is suggested that his
desire to accomplish the main objects
of the work of his department has led
to his being too lax in his observance
of the red tape regulations.
The designations of Drake, Doyle and
Johnstone have, it is said, been sent in.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Harper and
Brothers, publishers for the late Sam
uel l.. Clemens, state that the royalties
received by the late author on sales of
his books amounted to over million

publisher some years ago. In addition
20 this several million copies were sold
abroad. There were translations into
every modern language, of his principal
works.
Clemens died almost millionaire,
the money from sales of his works dur
ing the past ten years having accumu,
lated for him great fortune.

A little WORD
FROM ROOSEVELT
Said in South Africa He Had
Work Planned Far
Ahead.

John T. McCutcheon, the famous car
toonist and artist, passed through Ho.
nolulu yesterday, returning to Chicago
after long hunting trip in South
Africa, during which he was for time
with ex-President Roosevelt. McCutch-
con was much interested in American
politics, and made the prediction that
Roosevelt would be president again.
The proposition was suggested to
Colonel Roosevelt more than once,
in the camps in South Africa, says Nc.
CutcheOn. But Roosevelt invariably re-
fused to talk when suggestions were
made by admirers that he would be
president again. He shut UP like clam
when American politics became the
subject.
"Colonel Roosevelt said when the
matter of his being president again was
mentioned, that he had other work
planned which would occupy him fol
many years." said McCutcheon.
McCutcheon is at the head of his
profession in America. He has beer
on long trip in South Africa, during
which he covered much of the same
country traversed by Roosevelt, and
he did lot of hunting. He shot lions
elephants and other big game. Now
he is on his way back to resume hii
| desk in Chicago.
The artist took an automobile yester
day ana made quick trip to various
places of interest. He visited the Pail

France being a remarkable gathering of
distinguished men.
The Paris press is filed with accounts
of the doings of the American >ex-

With the yellow flag at the fore and
officially in quarantine, the Pacific
Mail intermediate steamship Asia az
rived yesterday at noon alongside the
Alakea wharf. The quarantine physi-
clans gave orders to allow the cabin
passengers ashore, the stevedores TO 60
aboard, but withheld the privilege from
the public generally. The Asia had two
cases of smallpox aboard while the yes
sci was in japanese waters, both being
stricken shortly after leaving the last
Chinese port, The usual precautions
were taken at Kobe and again at Yoko-
hama. The physicians here decided to
take no chances, and placed the vessel
in semi.qnarantine.
The vessel was given quick dispatch
by Captain Reilly, the Hackfeld com.
pany dock superintendent, and she re
sumed her voyage to San Francisco at
six-thirty last evening.
Contrary TO expectations the Asia y

About 800 tons of freight were dis
charged here, five big gangs working

. MURDER As
A fine ART"
Physician Being Tried on Charge
of Causing Typhoid
Fever.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri. April 3d.
In the trial of Doctor Hyde for the
murder of Stella Swope today, the pros
ecution developed its theory that the
doctor caused the death of the woman
by introducing typhoid fever germs into
her system through presents of candy
infected with the germs. According to
the theory under which the police are
proceeding, the doctor deliberately set
about to cause the death of the young
woman by giving her typhoid fever.
This is form of poisoning without pre-
cedent in the criminal history of the
country, and the case is attracting ex-
traordinary interest.
1t is charged that the doctor culti-
waited bacilli of typhoid from other pa
tients, and planned to give them to his
victim, and that he chose candy as the
means of feeding them to her. The
police are attempting to show his cul-
tivation of the germs in his laboratory
and prove that he used them to infect
candy which he gave to the young
| woman.
A nurse who was employed in the last
| illness of Stella Swope was on the wit
| ness stand today. She testified to the
| fact that the deceased developed ty
phoid fever ten days after eating some
candy given her by Hyde.
