age Land.
Columbia, Nov. 8-The an
nouncement made several days ago
that a boy Is years of age had pro-
duced 228 bushels of corn on one

State Conservation.

State conservation congresses have
been held In Missouri and Minnesota
and similar meetings are soon to be
held in Nebraska and Texas. The
movement for state cooperation in the
conservation of natural resources is
now well under way and more tangible
progress may be looked for. The
gathering of the governors at the ma
tional capital on invitation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was without question
most unique, and from it has come
wholesome enthusiasm for farAsighted
and patriotic effort looking to the
preservation of the heritage of the
future. The preservation of the
natural wealth we possess and a
healthy frugality in it's appropriation
to meet the needs of our physical and
social life is an object worth striving
for. +
Few countries on the earth are more
highly endowed by nature than is the
United States. Situated In zone in
which the vegetable kingdom has It's
most perfect, development, given a
topography unparalleled for its ar
rangement of mountain, plainj valley,
rainfall and drainage, enriched with
minerals and precious metals to a de-
gree almost incredible, this country
offers wonderful opportunities for
exploitation. and these opportunities
are by no means of the past, much as
we have neglected to guard our treas
UreE wisely.
Under the Influence of the conserva-
tion movement the people are more
clearly comprehending the situation.
The farmers are being awakened to
the waste of soil values incident to the
old fashioned methods of farming. The
lnmbermen are interested that the
forests may not be wantonly demol-
ished, and even mine owners are more
solicitous not to despoil the coal and
mineral deposits. The states must
have laboring oar in this work, for
they not only have exclusive control
within state boundaries, but are also
more closely in touch with the local
conditions and the people who must
be enlisted In 1t.

In addition to this, money spent on
the probation officers and Detention
home should, at least in part, be
charged up to charity, and would bring
the figure up over $4,000.
The total of tax collections for both
state and county purposes for the year
was $536,532, so that it may be said
in round numbers that one-sixth OF the
taxes collected by the county are paid
out for charity and charitable institu-
tions.
We are not prepared to say that this
is an excessive amount to be devoted to
these purposes, nor that there is any
fragrant diversion of the money in
tended for the unfortunate and needy
to those who are not entitled to such
relief. But 1t is question whether
the taxpayers are getting the best re-
suits out Of the county funds which go
for charity. The county store. for ex-
ample, in South Omaha, which cost the
taxpayers lilo, used up $799 in sal
aries, rent, telephone, stationery and
printing, or 33 per cent for admins
tration. The county store in Omaha.
does not show up quite so badly, and it
is impossible to figure on county hos
pital maintenance on the same basis.
1t goes without saying that 1t is the.
duty of the county to take care of the
INDECENT sick and the destitute in
county institutions and to, tide over
poor people oppressed with temporary
affiictions. but our whole charity busi-
ness should be moderniSed and sys-
temlzed. For the money we are de-
voting to charity We are entitled to
reasonable assurance that it is prop
erly fulfilling it's function.

The stirring events at Washington
have focused all eyes on the capitol
and the whole country waits for the
next move on the congressional chess
board. The question presents whether
the alliance between the insurgents
and democrats will be maintained in
making up the membership Of the new
committee on rules, which will be
vested with the duties of a steering or
sitting committee.
Congress in each Of it's branches is a
complicated piece OF mechanism for
which the new committee will be ex-
pected to serve as safety valve and gov
ernor The resolution provides for six
members of the majority party and
four members of the minority party,
and the real question will be which is
majority and which is minority. The
various votes would seem to disclose
a division into three groups-the regu-
lar republicans, the insurgent repub-
licans and the democrats--none of
which alone constitutes a majority
Insurgent republicans and regular
republicans, through their leaders,
have both been protesting loyalty to
the Chicago platform and the presi-
dents legislative program. If they are
sincere in these professions they will
get together with the president and
redeem the pledges on which all of
them we're elected. 1t is.by redemption
Of these pledges that President Taft in

ment of the laws which the president
has recommended conforming with the

luton in house procedure will Justify

order, destroys party cohesion and
overturns party responsibility, it will
make impossible the record of achieve

chancellor Day Again.

After keeping under cover for some
time Chancellor Day of Syracuse uni
versity has broken out again in a
brand new place. This erstwhile cham
pion of John d. Rockefeller is vieing
with Senator Rayner of Maryland in
delivering the funeral Grafton over the
remains of the constitution of the
United States. He sees in the calling
of representatives and senators into
conference, at the White. House an en-
deavor on the part Of President Taft
to dominate legislation and to dictate
policies and crowd congress off the
map. The president may be trying
simply to get something done, but that
fact is lost sight OF, because, according
to Chancellor Day his action is only
stepping stone to condition which
will send the constitution and the god
dess of liberty to the "demnition bow
vows"
The chancellor evidently had to
say something consistent with his
former utterances and the obse-
quies of the constitution seems
better suited to his temperament
than anything else, at least just
now. 1t does not seem to. make
any difference that President Taft was
seeking simply to get the various ele-
ments of his own party together in
order to keep faith with the people. A
little review Of the facts. and of our
history, would show that President
Taft is not the originator of presi-
dental program nor of this method of
pushing IT. The president is. a party,
under the constitution, to every meas
ure that goes on the statute books.
When the tariff was up Mr.. Taft was
criticised for not interfering more
vigorously, and now Chancellor, Day
would have him sit back in the dis
tance waiting motionless for bills to
come to him for approval or disap.
proval. In this matter Chancellor Day
will have fewer people to agree with
him than he had in his defense of out
law corporations.

Money for Missions.

The work of raising money for for
eign missions, as it is being carried on
by the Laymen's Missionary associa-
tions over the country, has assumed
tremendous proportions. Where
churches gave hundreds of dollars in
former years they are now giving thou
sands. Where laymen heretofore gave
almost nothing, except through the
churches, they are now giving large
amounts willingly and in some cases
jubilantly. 1t has been a source of
wonderment, to the churches and to the
laymen themselves, that the collections
are really so large. The result is that
the missionary work of the world has
never had such financial backing rs at
the. present time.
Missionary work has for many years
been looked upon by business men as a
sort of to-be-tolerated effervesoence
simply because II was work of the
church and giving a lot of impractical
people something to do. But this last
year has seen great change Of senti-
ment on this subject among hard
headed business men, who are awaken
ing to the actual work being accom-
plished in the missionary field. The
money spent annually for this work
aggregates millions Of dollars, and the
amount being poured in TO the treas
uries for the work is increasing every
day. In China, India, Japan, all parts
Of Africa and in the islands of the sea
self-sAcrificing young men and women
are working for what they believe to
be for the good OF humanity and for
civilization in general. That the work
they are doing is acknowledged as
practiUal is demonstrated by the splen-
did recognition accorded the Laymen's
Missionary movement
The increase in the endowment of
missionary work foreshadows a great
increase In missionary activity. The

Give the Soldier His Rirhts

A measure is before congress max.
ing it misdemeanor to discriminate
against persons wearing the uniform of
the United States. 1t should pass, and
doubtless will. The immediate occasion
for its introduction is the rule of GER
tain theaters in the larger cities
against the admission of soldiers in
private uniform.
The United States has spent years
eleVating the standard of its army and
1t has achieved flattering success. The
young men composing the American
soldiery will average up mentally and
morally with the young men of most
any pursuit of life and surpass them
physically Why then permit anyone
to discriminate against them? Why
deny them any right or privilege ac-
corded to any other respectable citizen
of the country? IL would be a strange
government to tolerate such contempt
for its dignity, and insult to its de-
tenders. The government that is negli-
gent OF the rights of its own soldiers
could never expect to maintain de,
cent personnel in its army. Congress,
in all probability, viii waste little time
enacting into law this measure which
has been submitted in each house in
twin form. And when congress does
act its action will be the best kind OF

MIR. PINoHOT AS A WITNESS.
Testimony Strengthens the Position
OF the President.

y
Mr. Pinchot forester and as the chief
advocate of conservation has, as the presl-
dent wrote him last September, rendered
the country Immense services" and the
country is thoroughly appreciative. Mr.
Plnehot. as both witness and chief prose-
e1tOr IN the Ballinger investigation, did
not make good showing. He hurt him
self, and he helped rather than hurt Bal
dnEer. This also the country has seen
clearly; for the country has, after all, some
sense 1t was mistake to preface his
sworn testimony with a too sweeping un-
sworn announcement OF what he was going
to prove. 1t was worse mistake to ac-
cuse Ballinger in that announcement OF
having deceived the president with three
false statements OF fact when 1t was
bound to appear later that those three
misstatements were not really Ballinger's,
but his former law partners, and when,
al Mr. Pinchot had to admit he himself
knew that Ballinger had correctly stated
those very facts TO the president before
showing him the incorrect statement 1t
was worse still that Mr.. Pinchot should
have had to admit further that he himself
had made three important Tnisstatements Of
fact in letter 10 the president. TO he too

Mr.. Pinchot's discontinue as a witness

strictly on its merits. The only man whose
case before the people is really strength

letter of last September to Mr.. Pinehot.

THE PEsS1M1sT.
.ssImlstie plnhead

A pessimistic pinhead
May cause lot OF trouble
And frighten people half to death
BY saying that a bubble
Contains a million typhus germs,
Bacilli and such,
And he may rant and rave and tear
And swear to beat the Dutch,
About the germs in fathers socks,
And cen in mammals hair
And In the water that we drink
And even In tho air;
But, try his best he cannot keep
The bubbles all from bubbling
Nor kill the festive typhus germs
Or e'en prevent their doubling.
And socks and hair he finds beyond
The comp0s Of his sphere;
SO then he gives II up at last "a
And sheds a private tear.
The world moves on then Just the saR5
As 1t has moved before
The pessiniist stirred up some dust
lust that. and nothing more
But, Ho! What now? We hear the cry
"A greater danger still
Is lurking in our midst today,
Awaiting chance 10 kill."s
No germ Is this, but tangible
And pointed thing we see.
Our pessimist gets hold Of II,
And laughs IN ghouilsh glee.
The hatpins that the ladies wear
To keep their hats on straight,
Are dangerous he says, 70 life,
And should be out of date.
He thinks that now he's found a foe
That he can surely down,
And straightway tries to pass a bill
To rule them out OF town
But pinhead eouneilmen will find,
Without his host he's reckonad
And when the fight comes off he'll find
That he is only second,
For pinheads are but little things
TO cen with hatpins Cope
Our pessimlst we think has reached
The end now Of his rope.
