"BAcK TO THE SOIL"

without doubt there are more people
studying the possibilities Of going back
to the land just now than at any other
time in the history of this country.
The thing that Is known to be within
reach is seldom greatly priced. UP
to a comparatively few years ago,
every man in America knew that he
might acquire farm, merely by reach
Ing out for it. Now there is a pre-
vailing belief that lands have become
scarce and expensive-and that they
are no longer obtainable on advan-
tageous terms.
In response TO the demand for acres
and what many men conceive to be a
larger measure of liberty. President
Louis w. Hill of the Great Northern
railroad has published figures show
ing that there is no foundation for the
fear that there is no longer an abund-
ance Of land. His statement has to do
with the northwestern states, mainly
with Montana Washington, North Da-
kota and Oregon.
AS President Hill Is a railroad man,
there may not be an entirely disin-
rerested spirit in his announcement
but his facts stand for themselves.
| There are still millions of acres which
may be had on remarkably favorable
terms. Nor is 1t impossible that other
railroad magnates might make SIM
ilarly hopeful showing. in those Sec
tions of the country which their roads
traverse.
1t is certain that nothing would prove
more interesting and hopeful just now
than a general exodus into the remote
places. If men might be persuaded to
study farm problems-the science Of
TIE soil-as assiduously as they do the
mechanical contrivances by means of
which millions make a livelihood. there
can be little doubt that greater returns
would be won. 1t is just as certain that
existence in the cities would become
more bearable-and this without work.

BEDFORD WOMAN SEEKS

BEDFORD, Ia, Dec. 2-(Special Mrs.
Mary Walker Of Bedford is fighting the
will OF her father, the late Rufus

Mr.. Clark died in that city In September
and his fortune OF nearly $4,000 was
largely bequeathed TO the Clark Missionary
and Training school In West Africa.
The daughter is seeking to have the will
set aside on the grounds that her father
was suffering from insane decisions and
prejudices against herself and mother,
brought about by the missionaries who
surrounded him.
BY the terms of the will Mrs. Walker
was left $4,000 and her mother a like sum

acter. Born In Connecticut eighty-seven
years ago, he ran away at the age of Il
years and went to sea, shipping as a cabin
boy from Bar Harbor. Ne, and for fifteen
years obeyed the call OF the sea-" In 1856

LONDON, Dec. 2-There IL a possibility
OF an unexpected result in the attempt
by A. J. Balfour. the oppos. ton leader.
to remove tariff reform from the immedi-
ate field OF politics. The question looms
larger than ever in the campaign tonight
so that Mr.. Balfour himself. in a speech
at Reading. was fain TO explain that his
party had not altered its views on this
subject and that tariff reform was stin
chief plank in the party's constructive
policy; but he explained the unionists
needed to obtain the formal and explicit
consent OF the people thereto. The policy
Of the referendum, he said, was con-
sistent with the true idea Of popular gov
eminent.
Mr. Baifour's pronouncement on Novem-
Der % that no was willing to submit tariff
reform to a referendum, has rather sur
rendered than knit his party and supplied
the liberals with another effective argu-
ment against tariff reform. namely that
Mr. Balfour has been compelled to side

could not imagine a greater caricature Of

stract questions to the people without
concrete embodiment OF their proposals.
