member OF the family takes some ac-

cupy the same relation to each other as
two glass tubes standing in tank of
water; the water stands at the same
level in each. The quantity OF the ag-
riculture on any farm may be judged
from the kind of home on that farm
and v;ce-versa. This would, possibly
not b. true If as much had been done
for the home in the way OF educating

that our population will double in the
next twenty-five years. When we con-
slider that today we are within two
hundred and twenty-five miles OF some
thing like twenty millions OF people, we
have some appreciation OF our posi-
bic markets in the next generation.
While much has been accomplished by
transportation facilities, it is impos-
sible that space will ever be entirely
annihilated. and the task OF supplying
a large part OF the perishable food TOR
the great market that is, and will con-
tinue to be, at our doors will fall upon
us. Our chief concern then will be
not to find profitable market for our
products, but to find products for our
markets. As these conditions develop
the fitest of us will adapt ourselves to
them and gradually establish an agri-
culture that will be upon permanent
basis. We shall try to raise the maxi
mum amount OF food stuffs upon a
given area, and, at the same time,
maintain high state OF soil fertility
This will mean intensive cultivation. A
large working capital compared with
capital invested in land. 1t will also
mean larger and more certain returns
than is now possible under conditions
that obtain on too many of our pres
ent day farms.
Second. The Comforts OF Agricul-
ture. Any calling or vocation to attract
on its merits an energetic, we'll trained
class OF people, must today give some
assurance OF being able to furnish most
OF the comforts and few OF the luxur-
les OF life. There never was a time in
the history OF agriculture when farm
crS lived better than at the present
time. yet there is mu"h to be desired.
Daily and weekly papers, telephones,
good roads. rural mail delivery and i'm
proved machinery have done a great
deal to make farm life more attractive.
MI these agencies are playing an i'm
portant part i'll putting our agriculture
upon more permanent and more ideal
basis
There are, however, two other agen-
cles to which | would like to direct
your attention that are as capable of
doing as much for the advancement of

combined.

STEEL BARONS ACCUSED
Big Plants Denounced as "Hu-
man Slaughter Houses"

A congressional investigation OF steel
works IN the United States was de-
manded by Arthur r. Holder. legisla-
tive representative OF the American
Federation of Labor. while appearing
before the senate committee on public
health and discussing the owen bill
to create department OF public
health.
Mr. Holder asserted that steel mills
OF Ohio and Pennsylvania are slaugh.
ter houses where men are MANNED
and crippled for life because OF care
lessness and overwork, and declared
that murder IS actually committed In
hospitals TO which these unfortunates
are sent for treatment.
Speaking upon information which
has recently been impaired 10 him, Mr..
Holder stated TO the committee that
an investigation would probably dis
close that In the hospital attached TO
one OF the steel plants patients are
murdered on the theory that a dead
man Is not as much trouble az Grip

SPITzER PARDONED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Tells Court Of Fraud In the
Weighing Of Sugar.

At New York the trump card
In the prosecution OF Charles r. Heike,
secretary OF the American Sugar Re
hning company. was played at the OPP
ening Of The sugar trust underweigh.
ing conspiracy trial when Prosecutor
Stlmson called as the governments
first witness. oliver Splitter, superin-
tendent OF the Williamsburg docks,
who some months ago was convicted
OF underwelghing and sentenced 10 two
years in the penitentiary at Atlanta.
When Splitter took the stand John
B. Stanchneld. for the defense. claimed
that under the federal statute Splitter
as a convicted man. could not testify.
The sensation OF the trial was then
created by the declaration in court
that Splitter had been given uncondi-
tional pardon by President Taft.
Heike is on trial In the United States
circuit court with FIVE former employees
OF the American Sugar Refining com
pany on the charge OF conspiring 70
defraud the government by under.
weighing cargoes OF sugar imports.
Splitter demonstrated TO the court
the workings OF the fraudulent devices
by which the government was cheated
out OF millions Of dollars by false
weights. II is alleged.
Splitter went back 10 the years 1894
and 1885, when he said. an investiga-
ton he made developed the fact that
the checkers we're affecting the weight
on raw sugar by placing small bags
OF lead on the beams OF the scales
causing the recorded weights to drop
below the actual. often as much as for
dy pounds on each draft.
In edition Splitter said IL was also
the practice TO stun paper underneath
the floors OF the scales for the same
purpose. He said that when Deputy
Surveyor Vail took office these devices
we're abandoned and the use OF the
steel corset spring instead was begun
and continued.
Splitter demonstrated TO the court
the use OF the bags OF lead. He walked
over TO the sample scale, which is one
of the governments exhibits In the
case. and indicated on the beam the
place where the bag was suspended.
The Jury and the defendants and
every body in the court room followed
his demonstration with the closest at.
tention.
Splitter also showed how the steel
corset spring was used 10 make the
scales record underweight

TRIAL or BROWNE
is ON IN CHICAGO
Surprise Sprung by the De-

Asyeral days ago to quash the indict-
ment and Immediately entered a new
motion TO quash.
The prosecutor was taken by sur
prise. as the states attorney was pre-
pared TO begin at once his defense OF
the indictment against the first at
tack OF Brownies lawyers
The new move was declared by the
state an attempt TO delay the trial, al.
though the defense had declared that
Il was ready TO have the case hurried

The second motion TO quash the in
dictment was entered for a technical
cause. not explained by Attorney For
rest, who. however. informed States
Attorney Wayman that the defense
would continue to rely upon the points
TO quash the indictment that had been
furnished the prosecutor.
I'VE ask that the defense be allowed
TO yacate the motion TO quash entered
several days ago, without prejudice TO
the defendant" Mr. Forrest said.
Attorney Forrest then began an ex-
PLANTATION OF the first point on which
the defense will attack the indictment
against Browne In the new motion.
"The contention OF the defense Is
your honor" Attorney Forrest said.
that the crime charged against the
defendant in each count OF the indict-
ment does not exist in this state or
in any English speaking country. The
Indictment charges two crimes-the
crime OF giving a bride to an officer
and the crime OF an officer accepting
a bride"
Browne appeared In court few min
utes after 10 o'clock. The defendant
was greeted by several friends in the
court room, and instead Of taking a
seat al the counsel table he sat at the
bar Enclosure TO escape observation.
While the Browne case was being
argued In court the special grand jury
