for the farming portion of it. More
over, the labor saving appliances
which can be use,' to advantage by
the larger farmers, and by which one
man can do more work than two did
twelve or fifteen years ago, is also a
factor in cutting down the population
of the farming region of the Older
states of the big valley.
The fact, however, that the value OF
the property owned by the farmers Is
growing at a high ratio is the con-
sideration of greatest significance.
And for this growth the republican
party deserves credit. The demo.
cratic party in 1896 attempted, by it's
free silver policy, to cut the value of
the dollar in two, and if it had sue
ceeded the farmer would have been
the principal sufferer. The repub'
lican party defeated this plot, made
gold the standard of value, and kept
the dollar up to the 1OO-cent level.
BY the Morrison and Mills bills of a
third of a century ago and of more
recent times, and by the Wilson-Gor
man act of sixteen years ago, the
democrats assaulted the republican
idea of protection. In the former
case the republican party defeated
the assault, and in the latter it re-
bealed the democratic legislation just
as soon as it re-entered power. The
corn burning by the farmers in the
democratic days between 1893 and
1897 was ended sharply as soon as
the republican Dingley law of the
latter year went into operation. In
the democratic period, corn brought
such low prices and money was so
scarce that the farmer found it more
profitable to use corn as fuel than to
buy coal. In republican days the
farmer has a good market for every
thing that he wants to sell. Mort
cages on farms have been paid on,

THE FARMERS ARE LARGE GAIN
FRS

Some decidedly cheerful figures re-
Eating to the agricultural holdings of
the Middle West are soon to be given
out by the census bureau. A sum-
mary of some of them has just been
published. They will reveal gains in
farm values in the states of this re-
gion ranging from so to more than
100 per cent in the past ten years. In
iowa it is shown that there has been
IAN increase of III per cent in the
value of farms and farm property.
Everything belonging to the farms,
from the lands and buildings to the
products has made an immense gain
In the decade. In the outlay for labor
ION the farms there has been an in
GREASE of abou, SO per cent, which
means an expansion of practically
that amount in wages per person, for
the number of farm workers has
probably not increased The state
census for 1905 showed a slight de-
crease in the aggregate population of
Iowa since 1900, due altogether to a
falling Off in the agricultural regions.
In the cities there was a small gain
h is altogether probable that the
farming districts of Iowa will show
some decrease of population for the
decade, although the cities are ex.
pected to do there as St. Louis and
Kansas City did for Missouri and save
the state as whole from receding.
Tts: increase in the value of the farme
shown by Iowa, is said to be repeated
in Missouri, Illinois, Michigan and the
other states of the northern end of
the Mississippi Valley.
While these figures are intended to
be non-partisian they must make votes |
for the republican party. In the |
farming regions of the states of the !
great central plain the population is
making slow growth, but the value
of their property and the rewards
which they receive for their labor are
at high speed. Hundreds
Of thousands of the smaller farmers
i'm the states north of the Ohio and
north of the southerly boundary of
Missouri and Kansas have sold their
holdings to their neighbors and have
gone into Oklahoma, Texas, and the
states west of the Rocky mountains,
where they have bought farms two
or three times as large for the money
which they have obtained for those
which they vacated. They got into
newer locality, and grow up with 1t,
pru0ting by the big increase in the
salue of the lands which is sure to
come to them. This is how it happens
hat while the agricultural districts of
Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and others of
lie older states of the Mississippi
Valley are at standstill, Oklahoma
ncreased 100 per cent in population
i the past ten years, Arizona IS Pc

lille Texas, which is not yet re-
,orted, viii probably show a gain OF

pect Place, right arm broken.
The bottom of the Montclair avenue
hill cuts across the tracks of the Mount
Prospect avenue trolley, and at this
point the big sled attained a speed of
more than forty miles an hour. AS the

DIES PLAYING GAME.
Neuark Schoolboy Stricken in
q Basketball Contest.

Death interrupted a game of basket
ball in the New Jersey Interscholastic
League in the gymnasium of the Young
Mems Christian Association, in Newark,
yesterday, when Guy Lyons, a forward
on the Newark High School team, was
stricken with heart disease.
The local team had for its opponent
the East Orange High School five, and
Lyons fell unconscious to the floor when
the excitement of the game was at it's
height. He was carried into an office in
the building, and two physicians were
soon trying to revive him.
The game was being watched by hun
dreds of girls and boys from the two
schools. 1t was at first supposed that
Lyons had tripped, and a substitute was
put into his place. The game was con-
tinued, and the two fives were in the
midst of a scrimmage when word of
Lyonss death was brought to them.

hill several times and was on its last trip
when the crash came.
Miss Ballard occupied a seat on the
front of the sled, Miss Tobey sat next
to her, Moran had the third place and
Banks was on the back, steering. The
hill was a glade of ice and the sled was
ITdNelllnS at a speed eStlrOdleQ at a nile
a minute, when it suddenly swerved

and crashed into the electric light pole.
Miss Ballard struck the pole head first.

stantly. Miss Tobey was thrown fifteen
feet and landed on her head.

when she was picked up, and was rushed
to the hospital in an ambulance, where
four doctors found that she had received
serious injuries about the head and
breast.
Mr.. Moran was taken to his home with
both legs broken and other serious in
juries. Banks escaped with only a few
bruises, and was also taken to his home.
Miss Ballard taught in the kinder
garten at the Hillside School, and her
home was in Niagara Falls. Miss Tobey
is a teacher in the ohatterton Hill
School. and her home is also in Niagara
Falls. She has taught in this village for
a few months only.
Mr.. Moran is the youngest son of ex-
Postmaster James H. Moran, and he
lives at No. 21 Church street, which is
within a short distance of the scene Of
the accident.

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER TO MIR. PINCHOT
"BY YOUR OWN CONDUCT YOU HIVE DE
STROYED YOUR USEFULNESS" HE SAYS

he himself may examine the evidence as
to the validity of the claim.
These facts understood, the plain in
tImations in your letter are, first, that
had reached wrong conclusion as to the
good faith of Secretary BaIlinqer and
the officers of the Land Office, although
you and your subordinates had only seen
the evidence of CLAWS, the accuser, and
had never seen or read the evidence of
those accused or the records that they
disclosed which were submitted to me;
and, second. that under these circun-
stances, without the exploitation by
Messrs. Shaw and Price in the daily.
weekly and monthly press of the charges
OF CLAWS, the administration, including
the President and the officers of the In
terror Department and Land Office,
would have allowed certain fraudulent
claims to be patented on coal lands in
Alaska, although the matter had been
specifically brought to the attention of
the President by the CLAWS charges.
You solicited the opportunity to make
such declaration in Congress for the
purpose of offsetting, il possible, in the
public mind, the Presidents decision in
the CLAWS case, supported by the opin-
ion of the Attorney General, after full
examination by both of the evidence ad-
duced by the accuser and the evidence
on behalf of the accused, while the lat
ter evidence you and your subordinates
had never seen.
You did this against the advice of the
Secretary of Agriculture, without notify
ing him that you intended to do so and
without comforting with me at all. Your
letter was, in effect. an improper ap-
peal to Congress and the public to ex-
cuse in advance the guilt of your subor-
dInates before ! could act, and against
my decision in the CLAWS case. before
the whole evidence on which that was
based could be considered.
J should be glad to regard what has
happened only as personal reflection,
so that ] could pass it over and take no
official cognizance of il. But other and
higher considerations must govern me.
When the people of the United States
elected me President they placed me in
an office of the highest dignity, and
charged me with the duty OF maintain
ing that dignity and proper respect for
the office on the part of my subordinates.
Moreover, il were to pass over this
matter in silence, il would be most de-
norslizing to the discipline OF the ex-
ecutiVe branch of the government
BY your own conduct you have de-
stroyed your usefulness as a heIpfuI
subordinate OF the government, and il
therefore now becomes my duty to di
rect the Secretary of Agriculture to re-
move you from your office as the For
ester. Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM n. TAFT.

thirty or forty years ago, died tonight in

Washington, Jan. 7.-President Taft's
letter to Clifford Pinchot informing him
of his dismissal follows:
The White House.
Washinqton, January 7, 1910

Washington, January 7, 1910.
Sir: The Secretary of Agriculture in
forms me that on the 28th of December
your associate forester, MIR. Price, went
ground that he had been engaged with
Mr.. Shaw, assistant law officer, in insti-
eating the publication in various news
papers and magazines attacking the good
name of Secretary Ballnger and charg-
ing the Interior Department and Land
Office with corruption. The Secretary
thereupon wrote note to you, under
date of December 20, asking for your
recommendation in the premises. You
did not answer, but on January you
had conversation with him in which
you said you wished to make a state
ment which should be read in the Sem
ate at the same time that my message
transmitting the record in the CLAWS
case reached there. and that you thought
you could induce Senator DolliVer to in
troduce the statement for you. The Sec
retary advised against such course;
but asked you for recommendation as
to accepting Prices resignation, in order
that he might bring the matter to me,
to whom, he told you, it must ultimately
come, because had considered the
CLAWS charges and had passed upon
them.
Without further conference with the
Secretary, and before making report
to him, you succeeded in making public,
by having it read in the Senate, letter
from you stating that you had sufficiently
disciplined Messrs. Price and Shaw by
reprim anding them and that your recon-
mendation would be that no further pun
ishment was required, and this before
that recommendation was submitted to
the Secretary and me, whose power and
duty it was to determine upon Prices
admissions as to his comolicity what ac-
tion should be taken with respect to his
resignation.
In order to understand the full purport
of your letter, in which you admit the
completely of Price and Shaw in the pub
locations of the press, it shouts be said
that the graVamen of the CLAWS charges
was that Secretary Balineer and the
others were all affected by a corrupt
wish to patent thirty three so-called
Cunningham claims upon coal lands in
Alaska; that the question whether these
claims were fraudulent or not remained
to be decided upon the evidence after
both the United States and the claim
ants had been heard; that every patent
as an executive act is completely within
the jurisdiction of the President to di-
rect the withholding of it in order that
