question to be determined by a court
in a country of religious freedom what re-
ligion or what sect is right. All stand

such reading, but whether it is or not,
religious instruction is accomplished by
it. - = What right have the teach

ious doctrine different from that which
they are taught by their parents?" The
decision pleases most of the school au-
thorities, Mrs. Ella F1agg Young, the
superintendent, especially Il believe
she says, that moral training and the
teaching of the fundamental principles OF
truth. honesty, right living in private and
civic life, and common humanity have
an important place in the public schools,

Some Of the progressive spirits of Oak
Park. the exclusive suburb on the west
ern borde of Chicago which has steadily
refused to be annexed, are seriously con-
sidering turning the tables on the lar
west and advertising in that section for
men to come to marry some OF OAK
Parks many husbandless women. This
has been prompted by the returns from
the school census, just completed, which
disclosed the fact that the little city has
1901 more women than men. and 81
widows but only 80 widowerss The total
population shows gain Of ITO over last
year. now amounting to 2o.9l1. but even
that showing does not console the women
who live in Oak Park for the deficiency

PLANTATION of the situation is that SO many
of the Oak Park girls are employed In
Chicago. 1146 of them that they DO mol

Is Oak Park men, and the latter, In re-
venge. go in search of wives In other
suburbs. But the answer to this is that
ever the girls between the ages of and
- outnumber the boys of the same age
by 191, and that evidently Oak Park Is
destined to be a wornan's town. That
the women of the suburb who have mar
ried make energetic housekeepers is
shown by the fact that there are only
9W housemaids in the town, about foui
times as many wives doing their own
work as those employing help.

HOmeSteading
This piece of land looks good to me.
I've reached my highest aim;
For on this bright productive spot,
I've taken up a claim.

At this time when the lure of
land" is holding sway over the peo-
pie of the United States, when Iowa
land has reached the two-hundred-
dollar mark, and much Dakota land
is nearing that point, and rents are
rising in proportion, a free home
stead has an attractive sound. The
thousands upon thousands of home
seekers who have visited our west
ern country during the past few
weeks, to get their names in the pot
for the drawing of lands in the
Cheyenne and Standing Rock reser-
vations, and to look into this home
stead business, are beginning to
realize that the land is giving out
and that e'er long filing on open
land" land drawings" and the
like will be things of the past.
A very small percentage of the
land-hungry crowd can obtain land
from this drawing. Do not despair,
but go to a part of the country where
homesteads are absolutely free,
where all you have to do is to pick
QUO your quarter, file upon it, and
live there, making it your home.

The immense amount of money
Senator ]. H. Stout has spent for
educational purposes in Menomonie
is hardly appreciated. During the
past six years he has spent over
100000. This is an immense sum
for one man to spend for such pur-
poses in city the size of Menomon-
lie but the schools have acquired a
national reputation which reflects
great credit on Mr.. Stout as a pub
lie benefactor Spring Valley Sun.

The progress which Canada is
making in canal building and other
transportation works may surpass,
at least ately, that the
United States but it is worthy of
observation and must be highly
gratifying to Americans to observe
that the major part of the tools and
engines FOR the construction and
equipment of these works comes
from the United States. A remark
able exposition of this fact is made
by correspondent of the London
Times whose figures afford a fine
insight into the recent report that
1909 was the record year in trade.
There are specified thirteen impor-
can't classes of engineering appli-
lnceS, in every one of which the
United States supplied Canada last
year with far more than Great
Britain did, in most. of the classes
the d1Sproport1on being simply
overwhelming. The totals of
the thirte IN classes were
$685. 30 from the United King
dom and $26,294, 295 from the
United States. All this is crafty
ing to Americans but it does seem
anomalous that while we are able to
beat the British competition in the
British Empire itself, with heavy
tariff discrimination against us,
we are unable to compete with the
British and Germans in the neutral
markets of South America where
we meet them on equal terms. Is
lack of traditional American energy
and enterprise responsible for this
condition?

Congress has taken up the cues
ton of the increased cost of living
by calling on the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor for detailed in
formation now in his possession.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
Congress will permit this inquiry to
be continued through the Commerce
and Labor Department and the De-
partment of Agriculture. Special
agents, statisticians and other ex-
perts probably can get at facts
better than Committee made
up of Senators and Representatives.
Such a Committee would probably
be Influenced by political consider
alton and its findings would not be
accepted by the country as worthy
serious consideration. Secretary
Wilson has pointed out that much
of the trouble is due to the fact
that the average American wants to
live too fast. He is enamored of
the city and is not content to follow
in the footsteps of his progenitors
who lived long and we'll on the
farm. "We need more producers,
says Mr.. Wilson, more men who
are willing to work. This may be
one element in the cost of living but
there are many others. If Secreta-
ries Wilson and Nagel, through their
trained experts, are able to lay bare
all the facts there will be no doubt
about the enactment of legislation,
if by legislation the problem can be
solved.

The administration is gravely
concerned, according to Washing
ton advices, over the treatment
which the Alaskan government bill
has received at the hands of the
Senate Committee on Territories,
which in amending the measure has
practically defeated the purpose of
the President. In the opinion of
the administration, so long as the
affairs of Alaska are left to the i'm
mediate direction of Congress there
will be maintained an unsavory
lobby in Washington and improper
influences will be brought to bear
to obtain legislation inimical to the
best interests of the district. The.
remoteness of Alaska and the in
ability of Members of Congress to
judge of the merits of the legisla-
ton urged contribute chiefly to this
result. Holding this view the adj
ministration caused a measure to
be prepared which conferred on a
commission, to be appointed by the
President, the power to prescribe
most of the laws, subject to the
approval of Congress. The inf1u-
ence which the great interests of
Alaska are always able to exert in
Washington have been utilized to
defeat the purpose of the President
but it is hoped that the desired bill
will be passed by the House and
that the mistakes may be corrected
in tn conference committee.

The Senate Committee on Irriga-
ton has, according to advices from
Washington, completed the draft of
bill providing for an issue of Ger
rifcates of Indebtedness or bonds to
The amount of S3O,OOO,OOO for land
reclamation projects in the Far
West. Payment of these securities
will be guaranteed by the Govern
ment out of the reclama alton fund.
The enterprising and energetic
statesmen of the West have been
eminently successful in securing
government aid for irrigation pro-
jects and the retaining of arid
wastes is popular with both politi-
cal parties. Upon the principle that
whatever makes for the good of one
part of the country makes for the
good of the entire country there
should be no sectional opposition to
liberal appropriations. But if the
government is to continue to finance
literally irrigation projects in the
Far West it should be equally gen
erous in providing for the reclaim a.
ton of vast areas of swamp lands in
the East and South. These lands
once reclaimed would be most valu-
able for agricultural purposes.

1t will doubtless prove surprise
to many of the critics of the Payne
tariff law to learn that more than
half of the merchandise, measured
in terms of value, imported during
the first six months of the operation
of the law came in free of duty.
The exact figures, including the six
days in August during which the
Dingley law remained in force, show
that SIS per cent came in free.
This is a larger percentage of free
imports than has occurred under any
previous bill except that of 1890
which admitted sugar free of duty.
The principal articles which came
in tree during the last six months
were hides and skins, India rubber,
pig tin, raw silk, fibres, cotton,
copper, coffee, tea, cocoa, cnemi-
Gals, works of art and undressed
furs.
