monetary commission has not yet re-
ported for a central bank. but every
body understands that it will do so
in its own good time. When it comes
it is likely to arouse one of the hottest
fights in the history of the American
congress. Even when it is merely a
distant prospect parties are forming
flor and against it. While Mr.. Mac
Veagh did not say in so many words
that he will oppose the measure, his
prophecy Of its defeat would indicate
that he will do so. Somehow Aldrich
and MacVeagh did not hit it off at all.
II their aostilities continue, Mac
FVeagh will probably make himself
very popular with the people.

Spokane, Feb. 18.-Trophies val
ucd at several thousand dollars and
cash prizes of more than $4,000 will
be provided at the International ex-
position in connection with the fifth
Dry Farming Congress in Spokane,
October to 6, and in addition there
will be a dry farming department at
the Spokane Interstate fair, October
3 to s. Professor Walter H. Olin,
formerly of the Colorado Agriculture
al college, who is superintendent OF
premiums and awards, will issue a
complete list early in March, the list
for the fair being distributed several
weeks later. Farmers desiring to
compete for fair premiums as well
as for exposition prizes will be per-
mitted to do so byentering two sets
of exhibits.
The exposition will occupy special
buildings to be erected on the Inter-
state fair grounds. Part Of the ex-
4 hibits will be housed in the largest
tent in the world, a canvas structure
800 feet in length, $50 feet in width
and SIS feet in height. M. ]. Wes-
sells, superintendent of exhibits OF
the Spokane chamber of commerce,
who has been appointed superintend-
ent of installation, will give the ex-
position the distinction Of being one
of the most artistic displays of farm
products ever attempted in the west
He is working on a number of new
and original designs, which will be
developed at the exposition
Special international classes will
be provided for exhibits from foreign
countries, and the provinces of Al
berta and Saskatchewan, Mexico,
Hungary, Russia and probably Aus
tralia. the Union of South America
and Brazil, are expected to have ex-
hibits at the exposition. The inter-
national vice presidents and CORES
bonding secretaries of the congress
for those countries have informed
John T. Burns, secretary-treasurer,
that they are working on plans to
have their countries represented at
the Spokane congress.

DRY FARMING CON-
GRESS REPORT

Spokane, Feb. 18.-Scientists con-
nected with the department of agri-
culture and various agricultural COL
lcges and experimental stations and
practical farmers who have made
good and in making good have de-
vcloped variations of the numerous
systems of dry farming are repre-
scented by papers in the official re-
port of the fourth Dry Farming Con-
gress of 1909, now being issued from
the office of John T. Burns, secre-
tary-treasurer of the organization, in
Spokane, where the congress will
meet October to g. The report is
book of 500 pages, and in addition
to the full text of the addresses and
papers it contains a complete trans
cript of the discussions, which should
be of interest to western farmers.
Considerable space is devoted to
the subject of dry farming in the In
land Empire One of the instructive
papers published in full is entitled,
Some Recent Results of Dry Farm
ing Investigations in Washington, )"
by r. w. Thatcher, director of agri-
culture of the Washington State col
lege, in which the soil conditions, til
lage methods and the application of
dry farming principles practiced in
Washington are set forth in detail.
Another paper, dealing with the pro-
gress of dry farming in the Inland
Empire, gives much valuable infor-
nation about the district and the
crop results.
The report is sent without extra
cost to the members of the organiza-
ton, but is not for sale. The only
way to secure a copy of the hand
book is to be enrolled as a member
of the Dry Farming Congress.

By JAMES A. EDCERTON.
four Washington CORRESPONDENT,

- INFORM state legislation was
the slogan of several bodies
~ recently meeting in this city,
including the house of govern
ors, the uniform legislation conference
of the National Civic federation, a con-
servation convention, gathering Of in
surance people and other meetings. All
these were called together by the confer
ence of governors at the White House.
Out Of this movement may grow new
factor in American politics, a body that
will cover the buffer" territory be-
tween the federal authority and that
Of the individual states. Regardless of
any talk Of federal encroachment ev-
erybody recognizes that there is vast
field of legislation that congress cannot
enter and that the states acting singly
have failed to occupy. Under our con-
stftution this ground can be covered
only by the states acting in concert.
To bring about such concert Of action
is the design of the house Of govern
ors.

THE MURDER CROP.
The Difference Between the German
and American Methods of Dealing
With Murderers.

The average number of murders
in the United States annually dur
ing the twenty years from 1885 to
1904, was 6, ,597, according to Josiah
Strong's "Social Progress. In
1895 there were 10, 500 murders
and in 1896 there were o,662. In
Germany the convictions equal
more than ninety-five per cent. of
those accused of murder. In the
United States the convictions are
I.3 per cent. These amazing fig
ures are cited chiefly by way of
calling attention to an address de-
livered recently by Hon. Andrew
d. White, former president of Cor
nell College and late American am
bassador to Germany. DR.. White
gave it as his deliberate opinion
that the alarming prevalence of
crime in this country is chargeable
to the practice under which the ad-
ministration of criminal justice has
become largely game played by
clever lawyers. He pointed out
that there are forty three times
more murders III the United States
than in Canada and eight times
more than in Belgium. which has
more than any other European
country. Dealing with the matter
of penalties, DR.. White declared
that in the United States only one
murderer in seventy-four is pun
ished, and that the average crimi-
nal serves but seven years cf life
sentence. For the dangerous condi.
tions revealed by these figures DR..
White would institute measures of
the most radical character. He rid
icules the vicious theory that crime
is disease to be treated as such.
1t must be dealt with as crime alone
and rather than continue the pre-
sent defective administration of
justice be would put the profession.
al criminal to death as a measure
of public safety. The proposal is
startling, but as between society
and the habitual criminal, whose
interests are entitled to first consid-

There is no lack of evidence that
the Republicans in Congress are ex-
tremely anxious with reference to
tbs elections that are to take place
next November. On the other
hand the Democrats are hopeful
and it will not surprise political
wiseacres if the next House shall
be Democratic. This of course
will settle the question in another
way of Speake: Cannon's Dictator
ship. Another man, presumably
Champ Clark, will be elected as
Speaker of the House.
The investigation in Congress
with reference to the cost of living
is proving very delicate subject
to the Republicans, for they tear
that the tariff will be blamed and
that the party will suffer. Repub-
licans as we'll as Democrats know
full well that in spite of party as
surances and in spite of the appIov-
al of the tariff bill in the Presi-
dents Winona speech, the revision
was upward instead of downward
and the upward prices of every
thing that one eats, or wears, or
uses, since then, prove that the
Payne Aldrich bill was a snare in
which the whole American people
have been entrapped and robbed.
There is feeling of uneasiness in
the Republican ranks that may de-
velop into pauic.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1910
Reforming the Legislature.

The next Legislature of this
State will have some very impor-
tant work to perform both in the
matter of repeating bad laws, i'm
proving laws that have merit as
we'll as faults and enacting new leg
islation that is needed. Under ex-
listing political conditions in Phila-
delphia and Pittsturg there is not
much hope of changing the party
complexion of the Legislature. But
there is substantial ground for the
belief that if the voters OF the State
who desire civic improvement will
proceed with proper intelligence
and energy, the minority in both
branches of the Legislature may be
so materially strengthened that
good results in all directions may
be achieved.
The time to begin this work is
now. The place is in the selection
of candidates for Senators and Rep
resentatives in the Legislature. Our
friends, the enemy, have plenty of
troubles to distract, if not divide,
their forces, in various places. The
opposition to the reelection of
George 7. Oliver, as Senator in
Congress. is already large and con.
stantly increasing. The resentment,
on the part of the better element of
the party, against the methods of
the machine is not diminishing.
These facts will help the opposition
in efforts to elect better men to the
Legislature. Thousands who NAV
not be willing to vote against the
candidates of the machine will re-
frain from voting altogether.
The magnificent effort of c. La
Rue Munson to secure a seat on the
Supreme bench last fall shows
what the right sort of candidate
who proceeds along right lines
toward the fulfllment of his ambi-
tions may achieve. His experience
proves that dozens of Democratic
candidates for Senator and Repre-.
sentaives in the Legislature may
be successful if they are men of the
character to command popular re,
spect and have the energy to pre-.
sent their claims to the people
Therefore Democrats should begir
at once to select candidates fol
nomination at the June primaries
We ought to gain fifty seats in the
House and half dozen in the Sen
ate and can if we will begin row
and act wisely.

GUARDS HEALTH OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN.
Commissioner Dixon Sends Warming
to Boards throughout State.

The health of the children in
"the little red schoolhouse" re-
ceives the attention of State Com.
missioner Dixon in a circular letter
that he is sending out to the secre-
tary of every rural school board in
Pennsylvania.
The act of Assembly of 1907
provides that where heating is ac-
complished by a common stove,
this stove shall in part be enclosed
with shield or jacket of sufficient
height and suitable material so as
to protect all pupils while seated at
their desks from direct rays of
heat. 1t further provides that the
school rooms shall be furnished
with ample means of ventilation,
and that a thermometer shall be
kept in each room.
In the circular letter the commis-
sioner says:
"The health officers of the sew
eral districts of the State, under in
structions from the Department OF
Health, make two inspections of
schools each school year in town
ships of the second class and report
to this department on cards fur
nished them for that purpose.
These instructions relate only to
sanitary conditions, and the princi-
pal matters of inquiry are ventila-
ton, light, heating facilities and
water supply.
Upon receipt of these cards in
this department notices are sent to
the several school boards calling
their attention to conditions which
should be improved or remedied.
ut is not only the purpose of
the Department of Health in max
ing these inspections and sending
out these notices to secure the OBJ
servance of existing laws regarding
the sanitary conditions of schools,
but also to encourage and assist
boards of school directors to make
all necessary or desirable sanitary
improvements.
Regarding the matter of water
supply, it is, of course, always de-
sirable that the children be furnish
ed with the best drinking water
that can possibly be obtained in the
vicinity, and that sanitary measur-
cs in regard to drinking cups and
utensils for holding water be
maintained in the school room.
IF water is secured from a
spring or we'll, this spring or well
should be protected from surface
drainage and from water seeping
back into it..
Individual drinking cups il
schools are necessity and mus
be provided either by the pupils OF
the school authorities, and provi-
sions made for filling them, either
by cooler or, if bucket is used, {
common dipper should be provided
and the water dipped from the
bucket in this dipper and the drink
ing cups filled in that way. The
children should not be allowed t.
dip their cups into the bucket
The use of common drinking Gu,
in the school room is exceedingl,
dangerous and a constant menac
to the health of all the pupils.
These matters are of great i'm
portance, and it should be the ain
of all boards of school directors t.
comply with these laws and to fur
ther improve sanitary conditions il
their schools just as much as loca
conditions will allow"
