Making Il Mistake.

The decision of the British gov
ernment to send to Canada the Duke
of Connaught as her new Governor
General. seems to us a mistake. The
object. that Of strens thening the tie
between Canada and the motherland.
is from an imperial view praisewor-
thy, but it is doubtful If it will sue
ceed. In fact it is liable to work
the other way The Duke is doubt
less a good fellow and to certain
extent popular, but he Is not cred
tied with any democratic leanings.
On the other hand the Canadians.
though loyal to the crown. are d
democratic people and are not likely
to view with much favor the estab-
lishment OF royal court in Ottawa.
Besides, the tendency Of the civil
lized nations Of the world are TO
more liberal and democratic govern
ments, and Canada will hardly be 4
reactionary. She is located too near
the greatest and most liberal demo-
cratic government on earth to be
anything but democratic herself.

A Menace to the Negro Race.

The crime of Will Ellison, the
Tampa negro, who crazed with CO.
caine, killed three members Of his
own race, wounded two others, and
also II policeman, and then commit
ted suicide, an account of which is
published on the first page of this
issue, should, as The State says
''serve to bring home to the negroes
the danger to which the use Of this
drug exposes them. Measures to
prevent Pthe sale and use of cocaine
K moe DIFFICULT of employment
than is the regulation Of the whis-
key traffic. The obstacles in the
way of convicting the cocaine blind
tigers in Southern States have been
proved by the experience of the last
few years to be very great. A drug
gist conducting legitimate traffic
in hundreds of articles and an UNI
lawful traffice in one can not be ap-
pretended with anything like the
ease with which the illicit whiskey
seller who deals in only two or three
articles can be detected. The CO.
caine habit is snsidious AMI its APP
peal to the ignorant is powerful.
ITO build up public sentiment
among the negroes against the habit
is task beyond the reach Of their
white friends. Few negroes, COM
jaritively, are readers of newspa-
pers, and they are dependent. IN the
main, for information upon their
preachers and teachers. Hundreds,
thousands of these are good men, and
the earnest and Intelligent teachers
and preachers who have the better
nent of their people at heart should
assume the work of continually
warning them against the drug that
is making such ravages in the ranks
of the race" !.
The hope of the negroes foc pro-
lection from the cocaine and other
vices, as The State points out, lies
in their leaders, in the intelligent
black man who commands the cOntl-
dence of the masses, and these should
perceive the instant Importance Of
their mission to fortify their people
against the cocaine menace. The
Tampa tragedy, the tragedy of a
negro quarter in a Southern State.
beginning in a negro church, should
habe the effect of powerful and i'm
pressive sermon to the colored peo.
pie everywhere. and it ought to be
reiterated and reinforced In every
negro church and schoolhouse."

Who Is a Democrat?

The New York Tribune, President
Taft's chief organ says:
Champ Clark says he wants to
see the Democrats win. If he is in
earnest, he can assure the party's
success by going abroad and keeping
his mouth shut for about four
months"
This hit at Mr. Clark calls forth
the following comment from the
Richmond Times-Dispatch. Repub-
lican paper that hasn't the courage
Of its convictions:
"Mr. Clark can hardly be expect
ed to welcome party success if it
is to be, achieved only at the cost
Of such self-suppression. The Con
stitution itself deprecates the infic-
tion of cruel and unusual punish
ments, even on politicians.
The Columbia State says the
Democrats in the lower house OF
Congress elected. MI Clark leader
and they represent the tremendous
majority=of the Democrats in the
United States. If the Richmond
Times-Dispatch has been endowed
either by, nature or training with
wisdom TO advise the Democrats OF
this Republic, signs of its gift have
been strangely lacking. Nevertheless
it is one Of those wearing the Demo-
cratic insignia on the lapel of Its
coat and therefore is Of constant

ers. Were Mr.. Clark and Democrats
whom he represents to withdraw
from active participation in party af-
fairs and deliver the party to The
Times-Dispatch and the coterie who
think with it, the arrangement would
be promptly ratified by the New
York Tribune and approved by old

There Is Much to Learn.

From all accounts the average
farmer in this country does not more
than half farm his land. That is,
he does not get from the land more
than one half OF what he would get
il the land were properly cultivated.
1t is said that the yield per acre OF
wheats, oats and other crops is not
one half of what the European farm
er gets. Some may say that this is
due to difference of climate and soil.
But that does not account for it
considering that in almost any dis
trict in this land experience shows
that a farm Systematically and thor
oughly cultivated will produce often

The Probable Result.

How much good. if any. results
from the Ran-American conference
being held at. Euenos Aires remains
to be seen. The prospect for any
practical outcome is not very encour-
aging. Doubtless there will be some
sentimental resolutions passed and
some eloquent after dinner speeches
made, but that viii! probably be the
sum total of results. The fact is,
and it cannot be disguised. that some
of the Central American states are
avowedly hostile to this country, and
that several others are jealous and
suspicious Of its motives. Greatly
as this is to he deplored such a feel-
ing is not unnatural. Small powers
are usually suspicious OF great
power. especially if that power over
shadows in every respect the total
of the smaller powers. Then. too.
differences of race. speech and GUS
tom accenuate this feeling. Be
cause of these and other causes it
is not reasonable to expect that the
Conference will have much practical
value. Doubtless in time the pres
ent aocfness will disappear. but no
nation can force it. To attempt 1t
would work untold mischief. 1t is
only BY better understanding re-
sulting from freer and fuller inter-
course with each other that suspl-
cions are allayed and confidence pro-
noted. BY and by the Latin-Amer-
lean states will realize that this ma
tion has no sinister motives In seek
ing closer relations with them.

twice as much as the adjoining farm.
The one remedy, apparently. is to
get back to the land, have smaller
farms and go in for intensive farm
ing. This plan is being adopted by
many :p,rmers with profitable re-
suits.
Take the cultivation Of corn, for
instance. In the last few years great
Improvement has been made along
that line, which has increased, the
Yield more than double. Not long
ago an old and very successful far
mer told us that he had just begun
to farm, although he had been farm
ing for forty years. This was true,
and he has yet much to learn.

The Progressive Farmer says the
whole farm looks different when it
is set off by a prettiiy painted farm
home. and it seems to us that 1t
must make difference in the spirit
of every member of the family. A
pretty home inspires ar atmosphere
Of pride and cheerfulness which will
not give young and old certain
added dignity. but also make every
body on the place do better work.
If a farmer has a beautiful home
die is likely to begin to improve his
farming methods and quit any pid-
diins and shiftless ways that would
be out of keeping with his house.
