RACK no THE LAND.

The great development now going
on all over the west, opening up to
settlement extensive areas of fertile
land by the construction Of large lr-
rigation systems, is slowly swinging
the pendulum of population from
the city to the farm, An interesting
feature Of this shifting Of population
and one Of profound economic impor-
lance to the country, is the large
number of city-bred people who are
seeking homes in the open country.
This is accounted for in some degree
by the fact that country life in the
West has grown more and more at
tractive as population increases. The
farms are small agriculture is In
tensive, communities are compact
and neighborly, rural delivery is es-
tablished, the country telephone is in
operation everywhere, schools are
centralized, and social conditions are
actually more suburban than rural
In character. With eight or more
farm houses located along each mile
Of the highway. there Is no isola-
ton or loneliness. With cheap water
power from the mountain streams,
and from huge dams trolley lines
are being extended through the val
leys. All these factors are bringing

The Payne law says, Boots and

Of leather made from cattle hideI
and cattle skins Of whatever weight
OF cattle OF the bovine species, includ'
ing calfskins, shall pay duty Of u
per centum ad vaIorem" and Boots

The distinction should be obvious
All shoes are not made Of cattle hide
or cattle skins Of the bovine species
Neither are all shoes made OF all
leather. Womens' and childrens
shoes and many mems shoes are made
largely Of the skins Of goats and
sheep which are imported into the
United States from Europe, Asia and
Africa. During the year ending June
80, 1907. there were received as Inn
ports into the United States skins
dressed and undressed, patent, jap
aimed, vanished and enameled leath-
er and manufactures Of leather Of the
value Of S4,767,S38.11 upon which
duties aggregating $SS0,622.16 were
paid. Under the Payne law the same
amount OF imports would yield a
revenue to the government Of $685.
94v.65, or a decrease equivalent to a
net reduction of over IL per cent.
1t will be seen therefore, that on
the question Of hides and their pro-
ducts, leather, harness and saddlery
and boots mad shoes the Payne law
has produced a substantial reduction
of duties. The farmer gains by the
increased price on hides and by the
decrease to him as consumer OF
the articles considered herein.
Does any farmer believe that Presi-
dent Taft and his supporters In Con-
gress who have caused the Payne
bill to become a law have not beue-
fitted him rather than injured him.

IN FooIIaH ALARAT.


Some Of the Republican papers OF
the country appear to be passing
through a "scary william state Of
mind, somewhat similar to the recent
German war-scare panic in England
While the rank and file OF the Re
publican press pursues the even tenor
Of its way, a few papers which ought
to keep their heads better are "sse-
ing things" Of the most portentous
nature. A Taft machine, Demo-
cratic congress and even a Demo-
cratic president two years hence are
few Of the COLLINS which are fright
ening the tlmid. The probably is
very strong, however, that long he
fore the congressional campaign Is
we'll under way these hyper-nervons
folks will realize that they have been
frightened by chained lions. tn vary
the figure bit, the Republican party
will present solid front against the
Democracy and its iusurgent Hes
slans-if indeed there are any OF the
latter Left by the tlmc snow flies.
The disclosures OF the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation, no matter how
damaging they may be to this or that
individual. will nos injuro President
Taft, says the Kansas City Journal,
for they might even prove Secretary
Ballinger corruptionist without In
volving the president or the party as
a whole in any Endorsement or i'm
proper practises. The president based
his Endorsement upon facts as they
were presented to him after q thor
ough scrutiny by the attorney general
and others. Thus far the mass OF
hearsay and partisan charges against
the secretary has not discredited that
approval, and regardless Of what the
truth may finally prove to be, the
president and the party are too
firmly committed to the conserva-
tlon of the nations resources and
the protection Of the peoples inter-
ests to be affected by Individual act
ions.
The splendid anylsis Of the new
tariff law by Governor Eberhard OF
Minnesota shows how the ground Is
giving way under the feet OF the
Democrats and the insurgents, In
their attacks upon the law which the
president endorsed. That the presl-
dents defense Of the law is Justified
is proved by the preponderance OF
good results which have followed the
passage of the law. There is not
the slightest reason for being alarm
ed. The Republican party is in no
danger Of disruption. 1t is not even
seriously menaCed and 1t will be doing
business at the old stand long after
the cause of the insurgents has drop
ped into the oblivion of Populism
whence 1t emerged.

RRTsTOw,s QUEER POSITION.

Kansas occupies the peculiar posi-
ton Of hoving q United States Sena-
tor who Is down east giving out in
terviews urging on the boycott oil
meat and advising the purchasers OF
the things Kansas has to sell to quit
and buy something else. The slump
IN meat prices cost one Dickinson
county farmer $500 this week. The
farmers OF the west want good prices
for their products and they Will
scarcely relish Mr.. Bristow's inter-
views which he is giving out In the
east hammering down prices. Who
Ii he working for-the eastern states
or for KansasH II the western farm
ars carry out their plan to boycott
goods made by unions that boycott
the farmer they can make things SO
dull In the city that birds will build
nests in the History buildings OF
Kansas City, Chicago and New York,
yet Senator Bristow is advising the
unions to swlpe the farmer by re-
fusIng to buy his products.
This is what q Kansas state off
cial says: "Bristow is doing queer
thing in advocating meat boycott
who gets hurt in this boycott? Just
two classes of people; the small
neighborhool butcher shops In the
towns. which will be driven out OF
business, and the farmers who raise
the cattle in the country. The peo-
pie who quit eating meat are moi
hurt, because they can subsist on
other things. The packers are NOT
hurt because they can keep theil
present supply Of meat in storage
until the furry is over and can quit
putting up any more meat. lnciden'
tally, this would work hardship on
4 third class--the men who work In
the packing houbes-because they
would be thrown out Of work.
hope no one Is big enough fool to
think that the packers care one way
or another as to whether prices are
high or low. They take out their
pinch when prices are low the same
Is when they are high. The pinch
n usually about the same, although
perhaps a TRIBE larger when prices
are low. wish there was a way
70 make the packers be decent. Per-
haps the government investigation
now being made and the suits that
are likely to follow. will do SO, but
the boycott will not"
The Atchison Globe says: "Sena-
tor Bristow said the farmer is re-
sponsible for the high price Of meat,
and his speeches against rural
trusts had much to do with the meat
boycott, and the congressional inyesti-
CATION Senator Brlstow owes his
Job to the Kansas farmers, and they
owe their prosperity to the high
prices they are getting for their live
stock. They are also beginning to
hold meetings at which they say they
don't intend to do a thing to Brls-
tow"
The Clay Center Republican says:
Senator Bristow Is advocating the
meat boycott. We had supposed
Bristow was a deeper thinker than
this The meat boycott will hurt the
farmer and cattle feeder, but not
the packer. The packer will be glad
to buy the cattle cheaper, The boy
colt won't even help the consumer,
because he will have to pay cores
pondingly higher prices for something
else to eat and when he eventually
goes back to q meat diet, the old
Law Of demand and supply win jump
the retail prices up to where they
were before" :
