UNEMPLOYED LANDS.

The Logan Journal, in an interesting article OH
"The South Pole and Its Discovery tells u.s.
after the discovery of the south pole, there
remains other region upon our habitable globe
unknown to Every part of our earth will then
have been visited, and man will have achieved
victory the horrors of polar regions"
When the south pole shall have been discovered
there will yet remain for the scientist the daring
adventurer many regions of the earth inviting him
to glory a hospitable grave For example, many
parts of the Colombian Cordilleras have yet to be
explored; whole regions-an immense territory-to
the eastward of the mighty Amazon and the great
basins of many northern affluents of that wonder
full river have yet been penetrated by civil
lied man. Equally unexplored is the southern part
of the tremendous range dividing Chile and Ar
gentina and many regions stretching away to the
northeast from the towering Andes of Peru.
In South America vast tracts of unexplored
lands have never been seen by white men. Although
this marvellous continent is UNNECESSARILY richer
in priceless timber and productive soil than is found
anywhere else earth, and its traditions teeming
with the weird but fascinating romance of the Ell
Dorado and of Spanish daring; and although its
destinations and wonders have attracted such ac
complished and scholarly travellers as Schomburgh
Waterton, Bates D'Onbigny and humboldt, yet
there thousands of square miles of this South
American continent, and particularly to the east
ward of Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Incas,
that have never felt the touch of the white mans
foot Many parts of Labrador and Ungava have
not yet been explored, so that for daring men in
quest of adventure and for souls of lofty ambition
there is still balm in Gilead and corn in Egypt.

SUNDAYS WILL HAVE NO DATE.

The movement for the reform of our calendar,
the Gregorian which we invited the attention of
readers few weeks ago, seems to be taking
tangible shape. The Swiss Federal Council, ac-
cording to a Berne correspondent, will invite all
the nations to conference at Berne with view
to adopting an arrangement by which every year
viii be divided into exactly ffty-two weeks, 364
days. New Year day would be an extra day. Sum
day would bear no date.
The four quarters of the year would be exactly
the length-thirty, thirty thirtyone and thir-
ty-one days, successfully. Thus the 31st day of
March, June, September and December would al
ways fall on a Sunday. Every leap year would
have an off day that would neither be counted nor
dated. 1t would be inserted between June 81 and
July l. The universal adoption of this projected
calendar will, of course, depend very much ON the
attitude of Rome towards the contemplated change
Without the approval of the Holy See, great con-
fusion would follow its introduction. Its accept
ance by Rome would involve of course, a new and
altered Brevary and Missal.

Monday, should be reminded of the heinous ofense
of not carrying out ante-eection promises Now,
Champ Clark said this or at least the daily papers
said he said it, and we have seen no reputation by
Mr.. Clark himself. 1t is duty Mr.. Clark owes to
himself, to his constituency in Missouri and to the
people of the nation at large 1t is a foregone
conclusion that Mr. Clark will be the next speaker
of the House of Representatives he being the first
Democrat to hold that honorable position for some
sixteen years. In the contemplation of the new
honors thrust upon him. he might overlook the
solemn promise to drive pair of Missouri mules
down Pennsylvania avenue. He should be reminded
of it by his friends, and the prediction promise
should be carried out. If such momentous things
as this can be overlooked and the failure to perform
is palliated what be expected when other prom
Uses are revived?

PRESENCE OF MIND.

Presence of mind in places of danger cannot
be exalted too highly. Even in an aeroplane it is
found valuable thing once in a while. Aviator
tombstone, who fell some 500 feet in Denver last
week, exhibited presence of mind that should
have let him escape with his life. His machine
broke when it was up 500 feet. Instead of sitting
idly in the machine waiting for it to reach the
EARTH he got after the thing, and made strenuous
efforts to get the planes bent they would catch
the air and retard his fall. That he failed is no
indication of his lack of presence of mind He did
his best, at least. Another aeroplane incident
which turned out more luckily for the aviator was
reported from New York. The machine got to cut
ting up in the air, finally turning a somersault, as
the machines will occasionally. After Topping
around several times, it made straight shoot for
the earth. Just before alighting, the aviator had
presence of mind enough to jump out from under
the engine, so the papers tell us, and he escaped
with but few bruises, while the engine was dashed
to pieces at his side.
With all due respect to the aviators and their
presence of mind in times of danger, the ordinary
citizen is compelled believe that he exhibits quite

BoUNT1FUL CROPS.

Harvesting time is now about completed in the
United States and figures show that the total pro-
duction of corn, wheat and oats is about y per
cent better than in 1909. In addition to this, the
enormous growth of fruit raising is attracting
the attention of the world while the minor crops,
such as hops, barley and rice, form an important
part of the nations wealth.
The home demand for all kinds of foodstuffs IS
growing rapidly, and to meet this demand vast
areas of new grain are being opened in the western
part of the country, some of the most productive
farms being in regions that formerly were cOnsld-
cred too arid for cultivation.
In spite of this, however, the surplus for ship
ment from the United States to other countries IS
growing less and prices of farm products high
er than ever before. The corn crop this year Will
exceed 100000 bushels, the largest crop ever pro-
duced in the country The current price OF corn
is now about so cents a bushel and at this price
the farmers will receive for their crop 1,5OO NIL
lion dollars, which exceeds the value of the wheat
and cotton crops combined.
With the failure of the cereal crops in France
and northeastern Europe the farmers of Amerlcs
have no fear this year that their great crops Will
cause an oversupply and send the prices down.
The stimulus of high prices, which have con,
tinued for several years in succession has caused
the rapid development of unused lands. and many
areas that formerly we're classed as nOn-prOductve
are now being brought under cultivation.
This movement is already extending into Mex
ico and undoubtedly within the next decade NIL
lions of acres of land in this country will be brought
into requisition to answer the crying necessity OIL
the world to be fed-The Mexico Record.

The proprietors of the three So
called Clifford saloons are in con-
tempt of court for keeping open and
selling liquor in violation of the perna-
nent injunctions issued by Judge
Parker upon DEGREES agreed to by the
attorney for the Clifford interests and
the county attorney.
The members of the city council who
voted licenses to saloons for the Clifford
places of business in violation of the

ment bonds in the sum of $4,000 ana
80 900 should first be filed have COM

the agreed draft from the attorneys and
interlined it making it enjoin the sale"
of liquor and since the question never
went I'D to the supreme court from
the Caswell decision his decree was
supposed to be law. County Attorney
Egernayer had been under the impress
sion that it was and had written his
previous DEGREES in the Caswel form
but when he casually asked Mr.. Brad
ford whether he would like to bring
his saloon clients in under the decree
proposed by Boardman he learned that
for some reason Bradford was as much
afraid of the decree against "illegaf'
sales as he was of the smallpox and 1t
set the county attorney to studying the
law along with his partner, Burnham
The result was that they became con-
WINGED that the Boardman decree
against Illegal sales which they
thought was loaded" would as effect
ually close the saloons and the places
for five years as the Caswell form OF
decree against all sales" and, knowing
that many of the saloons regular pa
irons had been drawn in the jury
venire. the county attorney was willing
TO accept a cinch for an injunction in
return for a try out on his criminal IN
dictments, but how to dismiss indict-
rnents and accept the Boardman form
of decree without leading everybody
to believe that he had sold OUT by
conserving to a modified decree was the
problem To make sure that he was
right on the law point in following the
trail left by Bradford and to unload
the responsibility of the com promise
the attorney generals department was
invited into the case. Senator COS
son, special counsel for the attorney
general and a specialist in saloon law,
came to Marshalltown, advised the
county attorney that the Boardman de-
cree against illegal" sales would ex-
plode at the breech for Boardman and
he joined with the county attorney In
conserving to the DEGREES for perma-
nent injunctions against Illegal sales.
Attorney Northup Joined with Board
man for his client.
The next morning when Judge Par
ker read the DEGREES in court Mr.. Brad
ford, with Unsurpassed exultation
for the fate of the attorneys who had
won away his lifelong clients, remark
ed Joe has gold bricked them, and
Bradford laughed in his own express

HALT IN INVESTIGATION.
Attorney General Called From City;
Adjournment Until Friday.

The grand jury. which is conducting
a special probe into the saloon cases
and the part County Attorney j. H.
Egermayer has taken in them. adj
journed a. noon today until Friday
afternoon at O'Clock. The cause of
the adjournment was the absence of
Attorney General H. W. Byers, who
vas called to Cedar Rapids this aft
ernoon.
It is not expected that the grand
jury will finish its work on Friday. it
was said today. The jury had practi-
calIy finished with all the witnesses
originally subpoenaed, when adjourn
nlenr was taken. Five new subpoenas
were issued Wednesday afternoon and
this morning.
Included among the witnesses before
the grand jury are several saloonists
from this city. Among them were
Adolph and Charles Bernstein, Chris
wetzstein, and Ham McGoogan. Prac-
tically all of the other witnesses are
from Gilman, Laurel, Rhodes, and
State Center.

law. In other words, they acknowledged
that they had plotted to take advan-
tage Of the county attorneys inno-
cence and had gotten the criminal in
dictments against their clients dis
missed by offering a decree which they
now contended was so full Of holes
that it leaked like sieve. They told
their clients to keep their saloons open
and they did. The county attorney was
forced to bring the sa1oonkeepers to
bar in contempt of court for operating
saloons which had been permanently
enjoined.
In very short space of time Messrs.
Boardman and Northup discovered as
they did after they had advised Mayor
Ingledue to pay no attention to the
county attorney that their decree was
more dangerous than they had sup
posed it was. They wanted the county
attorney to let them have it withdrawn
on the ground that they had not under
stood its full import, but he refused.
Then they filed their affidavits in the
contempt proceedings to the effect that
the county attorney had deceived them
and had misrepresented the law to
them, mean old thing that he was, you
know. Later they even .insinuated that
the county attorney had consented to
the decree for the purpose OF obtaining
his fees in the case. Finally
the question of the power OF decree
against illegal sales in these cases
enjoining all sales came before the
supreme court and the supreme court
holds that the county attorney, fol-
lowing the trail left in the snow by
Bradford and fully supported by the
attorney generals department knew
the law. When he was handed decree
by Mr. Boardman he took hold of it
and 10 and behold, Boardman was
found gripping the hot end himself.
Bradford was mean enough to stand
by and laugh, The court holds that
upon the adjudication that defendants
were maintaining a nuisance and any
possible sale of liquors by them within
five years would be Unlawful and so
the decree as entered was as conclu-
sive within the periods named as tho
no limitation on the character OF the
selling had been prescribed" The pro-
prietors Of the so-called Clifford saloons
will have to account for con-
tempt Of court In violating an
I injunction. The city councilmen who
would not listen TO the county aftor-
ney but followed the advice OF the sa-
loon lawyers, will, when they face In
dictments. sympathize with Mr.. lngle-
due, who told friend that In his trout
bic with the federal authorities he had
been the victim Of some damn Dad al
vice. z -
