MIGRATION TO THE COUNTRY

Recently the agricultural depart
ment of the United States has been
sending out circulars telling OF the
march. constant they would have US
believe. of the city dwellers back to
The farm. Statistics. always uncer-
tain as substantiation, are given vol
uminously Then finally is plea
for the country life and therein,
probably, lies the meat OF the whole
matter
The government officials see from
their vantage point a need for re-
setting of things. They see the pros
pect of congested cities, condition
which would probably tend to regu-
late itself as long as there is the
open country.
Many appear to believe that the
Malthusian theory. that the popula-
non VIII increase so much faster
than the means OF subsistence that
there will be shortage in food, is
about to work out. But they over
look the vast eXpanse of the west
and Of the south and the north which
are as yet to be reclaimed by irriga-
ton. and which will give thousands
of farmers good producing tracts of
land.
In these days OF high prices when

does not know which way to turn

becoming more than vision tc

many of those who have been living
in the cities who are taking theil
families and settling in the country

which must be met.
But the question OF living is al
ways present and it is apparently
matter of some concern to the gov
ernment and subject of specula

THAT PANAMA LIBEL

IL is apparently with a sigh OF sat
,sfaction. despite the front or eonil-
ience which they assume, that the
indianapolis News and the New YORK
World look upon the decision OF
Judge Hough OF the United states
district court of New YORK dismiss
ing the Indictment against the own
ars of the New York World, charg-
ing libel by that paper against GER
tain individuals interested in the
Panama canal affair
The indianapolis News is likewise
scored. it will he remembered, by
former President Roosevelt. under
whose hand the weapons of the gov
ernment were turned against these
papers and whose caustic remarks at
that time, heaped upon the World
and other papers, brought back hot
editorial shots for him from the press
al over the country.

l-RBAN AND RURAL POPULATION

or more than usual interest ar
the statistics which have been pr e.
pared by the government regarding
the city and farm population Of the
United States In a study of the ,l-
ble several interesting IactS are not
ed. 1t is seen, first of all, that Mas
sachusetts with her 5000, ,000 pop
ulation has more than 2,000,0uO liv-
ing in the cities, and that New York
with her more than 100000 has
100000 in the cities. while Penn
sylvania with her 100000 has 81
100000 in the country.
The largest country dwelling state
IS Texas. The Lone Star state has
population of 100000 and OF
these but 100000 live in the cities
Colorado has a population of $4,000
and of these 100000 are in the cit

ship unsurpassed by any other peo-
pie. and because Mr. Satiricus is
not acquainted with them in Gree
ley Ia no reason they are not able
to teach him much about his Bible.
The debate l have learned is not
between these two men but between
two strong churches, each more than
one hundred thousand strong. repre-
sented by trese two men.
And another commendable virtue
is that the Seven Rules of Hedges
Logic" will be binding throughout
this discussion, and one OF these
rules demands that each speaker en-
ter the discussion in the spirit of
meekness. conceding that II is al
ways possible that he may he In the
wrong and his opponent in the right,

bate. Not even the speakers can
enter the discussion with the spirit

that Il am right and my opponent
wrong, and all he can say and prove
cannot change me from my present
convictions"
The best men In Biblical history
are men whose deep-rooted convie-
tions were changed by an investiga-
tion OF the Word of God. or such
was Paul. the apostle. Can it be
that Mr.. SatiriCus is indeed not sus-
ceptible to further teaching and en-
lightenment from the Word OF God ?
Does he now know as much as God

uated in divine knowledge Does he
tion AZ men who have for many
years debated the question In all its
phases and defended their respective
sides of the question from every con
ceivable opposition!
The truth is. our MIR. Satiricus had
no adequate conception OF what the
discussion will involve. and he clear
ly demonstrates this when he inti-
mates that the discussion is for the
purpose OF determining which OF the

or the first day of the week k,-should
be regarded as the Christian Sab
bath. have recently understood
that two Sabbath days will not be
claimed at all. and this mention
that Mr.. Satiricus may know that he
should attend the debate at least
long enough to understand what is
going to be claimed before he pro
ceeds to give us his pre-conceived
opinions regarding the question to
be discussed!
Just such guesscd-at conclusions
as this-conclusion- formed before
inyestigation--are responsible tor

In the matter OF the litigation nov
pending between the Union Faelh'
on the one hand and the city oI Gree
ley. the Burlington, the Denver, Lar
annie X Northwestern and the Gree
ley and Denver railroad companies
on tha other, sight should not be
lost of the fact thar only Insofar as
Greeley is protecting her rights
against The usurping road il is wei

war that has begun So long rs the
city has right or Individual citi-
zaus OF Greeley have rights upon
which the Union Pacific is trespass-
ing, then the fight should be made,
But IL should end there,
The city should not lose sight of
the fact that what the Union Pacific
is doing today the Burlington or any
other road will be doing tomorrow,
or on whatever day they shall have
the power
Greeley is nothing to any of them
except inasmuch as she can produce
something for them and add to their
eNcheluers.
As it happens, the Union Pacific
Is on top among the roads, hence the
tight. II tomorrow the Burlington
shall be on top, Greeley would prob
ably be no better of. All OF the
roads are looking out for themselves
and themselves alone. and anyone
looking for altruistic motives in a
corporation has a job on his hands

Perhaps cut-throat game between
them on rates for time. then a
pooling together of all these roads

BOLD ATTEMPT
TO PLUMBER
PIKEv|LLE BANK

While one of their number endeavor-
ed to blow open the safe of People,
Bank at Pikeville Saturday morning,
about 3 o'clock, two confederates OPP
ened fire on the town with their pis-
tolls to keep the citizens from interior
ing. This is the method of procedure
by gang of safe blowers who attempt
ed to break into the safe of the bank
ing firm mentioned. The safe resisted
all efforts and after large amount of
nitro glycerine had been used, the
would-be robbers abandoned the job
and retrested to the mountains west of
the place. Blood hounds we're secured
from Chattanooga but the chase was
fruitless.
Mr.. Merriman, who is brakeman on
the Chattanooga Accommodation, tells
the story as follows: He has room
over the bank and was awakened by
the explosions and shooting He slid
out of bed and crawled on the floor to
the window and cautiously peering
over, saw a man beneath him, who
was blazing away with pistol at the
houses nearby, or wherever a light
showed the inhabitants were aroused.
Not having any firearms Mr.. Merri-
man kept perfectly quiet, and was not
discovered, otherwise it might have
gone hard with him.
The safe was supposed to contain a
large amount of money due stockgrow-
ers in the county, as some large pay
ments have been made for cattle re-
Gently. The safe was badly damaged
by the explosions Three strangers
who claimed to be hunting and fishing
in the county previous to the attempt
ed robbery, are said to have disap
peared.
