To Eioht Fire With Fire.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture doesn't enjoy seeing
7S. 600 splendid American farmers trek
out across the great north prairie
country into Canada. That is not the
sort of movement back to the soil that
he believes in He knows that there
is room enough for all on this side or
the line and grieves to think that so
much potential wealth is slipping away
from Uncle Sams census enunerators.
Naturally Secretary Wilson has been
casting about for means to check TINS
steady stream of farmers and farm
wealth He thinks he has found it..
We hope he has. The check he has
discovered is d counter offer of free
land for homesteaders. If that doesn't
stop them, nothing will.
Forest reserve lands have been
guarded very jealousy by their GUS
todians. The custcdians cannot be
blamed for that, for that is exactly the
spirit in which the lands were re-
served. Consequently when pros
pective homesteaderS have settled
upon good farm land in the forest re-
serve areas. they have not been warm
ly welcomed by the rangers. Some
have had the patience to seek to per-
feet their claims through Washington.
but the most of them have not cared
to 60 to that trouble and have i'm
proved the first opportunity to take up
land elsewhere. Many have been de-
tered from taking the plunge because
of the uncertainty that they would
ever be able to get clear title from
the government. Thus some excellent
farm land, entirely unnecessary for
forest reserve, has remained unde-
veoped 1t is this land that Secre-
tary Wilson proposes to open for set

The Rising Standard Of Living in the
Far East.

There is no longer any question but
what the far East is awakening to the
trend of Western civilization The
great strides made by Japan in throw
ing off the drowsiness of Orientalism
breaking away from the conservatism
of ages. and taking its place among
the modern nations of the world, has
had marked and far-reaching influ-
ence upon the life of China and India.
The yellow peril as it has been
viewed by the Western world, has been
largely in the marked difference in
| the scale of living that exists between
Western people and those of the far
East. 1t has been feared that the in

toned to living on few cents a day,
would prove disastrous competitors ii

argy and adopt Western methods OF

5000, 900 Nickeis Every Day.

The lowly moving picture ma
chine has not only become a
factor in the amusement field
but it may fairly be said u have
become the greatest factor in point
of attendance. 1t has advanced from
church parlors and village amusement
enterprises through the music halls
and small theatres of the smaller
cities. to specially equipped theatres
OF It's own and lately to some of the
largest and finest play houses of the
big metropolitan syndicates. The flood
of nickels and dimes, which their 5.o0o.
O0O patrons have brought each day to
the ticket offices, has caused many
promoter of more ambitious amuse-
ment enterprises to look with envy up
on his humber. but more prosperous
brother.

ton picture machine has taken pos

Square. Lincoln Square, Circle. MaJes-
tic. Yorkville, Savoy and Keith d

A similar state Of affairs exists in Bos-
ton. Philadelphia and other large cities.
The cinematograph, biograph or mo-
ton picture machine the name is not
materially has made such tremendous
inroads upon vaudeville and legitimate
drama ti.at managers are compelled
to reckon with it.
Already the popular combination Oh
vaudeville and motion pictures mas
been accepted as the standard for the
up to-date houses. Two or three acts
of vaudeville, as many pictures anu
an illustrated" song or two make up
the usual program. For TINS sort ol
the public pays a nick
ell. or a dime, and believes it gets the
worth of it's money. Inasmuch as
hundreds OF the high priced shows are
going to smash every season. the IN
ference is that the public thinks that
it gets more for it's money in the PIC
ture show than it does in the more
ambitious offering.
The bograph theatres already
support twenty or thirty stock
companies, who act before the
camera and appear simultaneously

ductions go out every week in a
million and a half feet of film, on
which Mr.. Edison gets d royalty

pie are thought to be in daily at

1t is a matter of public concern
what sort of plays are run on the
stage and what sort of articles are
published in the newspapers and
magazines. it is surely important
that the subject matter of the most
popular medium of reaching the
people be at least not degrading.

Popular Subscription To Raise the
Maine

A movement has been started for the
| erection in the national cemetery at
Washington of commemorative mon
| ument to the men who lost their lives
tied in all parts of the land and many
men OF national prominence have lent
their names to the enterprise.
There is u grave question as TO
whether the funds gathered should not
be used to raise the shattered hulk
which still rests in the mud at the bot
tom of Havana harbor. All efforts to
secure the appropriation of national
funds for the work have failed. The
attempt being made at the present
session of Congress promises 70 bet
ter results than those which have gone
before.
Undoubtedly there are thousands of
men and women in this country who
believe that the Maine should be
raised at once. Most of them feel
deeply enough on the subject to con-
tribute literally all their wages to q
fund which would be expended for
that purpose. Thus. if Congress Will
not appropriate thu. money, it could
be raised by popular subscription.
Undoubtedly it would have been so
raised long ago. if the people had had
the least idea that it was necessary.
Although there was neither hghtlnS
nor defence in the loss of the Maine.
for most of her dead were killed in
their sleep. it is now recognized that
her destruction caused a great spon-
taneous rally to the defence of the
flag by all sections, creeds and par
ties misunderstanding and distrust
were swept away and patriotism and
fellowship took their places. On these
grounds monument is needed but
no monument should be erected until
| the wreck is removed and the remains
of such victims as have not already
| been given decent burial. have been
removed and given proper intermen'
