1t would seem, therefore, that the

long-armed man. It is a curious fact
that coiners have remarkably short
arms.-London Globe.

The Criminal Arm.

According to DIR. Lombroso, the
criminal is creature whose charac-
teristics approach those of the anthro-
poid ape. One of the chief points in
the chin1panzee, the gorilla, and the
rest is the enormous length of their
arms, all of them having arms which
reach below the knee. Therefore we
should expect the criminal to be dis
tinguished by the length of his arm,
and the question being one of some
interest, DIR. Charles Perrier, French
medical man, undertook to examine
into it. He conducted his investiga-
tions in the provincial prison at Mines,
and has just published some very
curious results. He discovered that
the great majority of prisoners have
arms which are rather shorter than
those of the rest of the population, a
fact which seems completely to upset
the theory of DIR. Lombroso. But the
objection vas made that criminals
are of all sorts and kinds, and that
some distinction must be made be-
tween them. DR.. Perrier therefore
classified his subjects. and found that
the ordinary criminal, whose offenses
against the state are those of cunning,
usually has short arms, but that muir
derers and those who commit crimes

LONG ROAD BACK TO THE FARM

Great movements are not born nor accom- plished in day, neither are national tendencies changed or turned backward by wave of fairy wand. For hundreds of years the men who titled the soil were slaves or serfs. For generations the boys of this country have been trained away from the farm.
 It is but few years since every boy had his ambition turned toward the city. He was to be doctor a lawyer, merchant or anything ex- cept farmer. His parents, his teacher, every body, urged him to effort that he might live in a city and become, if not president of the United States, then an alderman or possibly, mayor.
 If he was bright at school, his teacher exploit ed him for professional life; he would be writer or orator. But only the slow drudge was left to the farm, and it was the broken-d down hack of the city, the man who was failure at every thing else who, as last resort, was condemned to the soil.
 We are wiser now. Farming has taken on different aspect, and has another appeal. To be farmer, the boy must be trained today, not just to hold the blow and make straight fur row, but to know the soil, to analyze it, that he may raise the crop to which it is suited and feed it what it lacks.- He must not merely know how to milk, but must know the COW, how to care for her, to measure her feed, to judge her qualities and to develop her usefulness
 Farming has become science, business and profession. It has taken high rank among the occupations demanding mental ability, keen ob- servation, manual skill and an all-around equip ment equal to those demanded by any other vo cation. But the boy cannot be made to appre- ciate this in one generation.
 The century-old tendency cannot be changed in a few short years. It is in process. Much has been done The farm schools and colleges, the agricultural departments of state and nation, are powerful agencies in this. In time they will accomplish what is no less than a revolution.
 Another generation may see the flow back to the land as great as it has been to the cities. It may find the farmer ranked with the other pro- fessions, as it should be. To have the most pro- ductive and most scientifically developed farm will rank the owner with the skilled physician and lawyer, as it should, and the boy will have this pictured to him as the highest ambition and worthiest field of usefulness

ALDRICH GOES OUT-WHO GOES IN?

Inat NelS0n w. AldTlcn, united States sen ator from Rhode Island and boss of the republic, will retire from both places at the end of his present senatorial term is no longer open to question. He admits it himself
 The news is heard with varying degrees of pleasure Big interests whose plans have been Jeopardized by the popular outcry against /" Aid richism' will join in glad rejoicing with those who believe Aldrich to be alone at fault for the sins of Aldrichism.
 So hated are Cannonism and Cannon Aldrich- ism and Aldrich, that the danger is that too many people will believe that the problem is solved and liberty restored to her throne when Aldrlch and Cannon are retired, as both soon will be-
 Aldrich will retire, but the system that gave Aldrich his power and that kept him in power will remain if the battle of people against priv iege slackens when Aldrich steps down. Sen ator Crane of Massachusetts, for instance, is said to be quite as capable as Aldrich and much more crafty and subtle. Indeed, of late years he has been the silent power behind the Aldrich- ian throne. He does not propose to retire, nor does any one of several others who can be de- pended upon to step into Aldrich' shoes and do Aldrich's service for the great interests when Aldrich is gone.
 
 Will Cannonism be dead then? Not by jugful Tawney, or some other as serviceable to the pow CTS of privilege, will slip into his place unless the people remain on guard.
 When a king dies those who hate monarchy and love democracy do not rejoice. They do not hate the monarch so much as they do the mon- archy, and the passing of the monarch gives them no satisfaction. The king dies, but the prince succeeds. The king is dead long live the king!
 Indeed, if the dead king made himself and the monarchy hated, his passing may do harm to the cause of liberty. The new king may be fairly decent sort whose benevolence will lessen the force of the fight against monarchy. He may do the same evil things which the old king did, but he may do them in more crafty manner dis guised under pretence of kindliness. Thus he makes it easier for the next tyrant, and fastens the chains tighter on people who ought to gov ern themselves.
 The people need have care that it is not the same when Aldrich and Cannon retire. Learn ing lessons from the implacable and stupid ar rogance of these two puppets of privilege, the powers that prey by prostituting democracy will pick men of fine methods to succeed them.
 The fight is against the system, and not against the individuals who are transients, and whose lives are but incidents in the history of human progress. The fight is against the sys- tenn which permits one man to rule the senate and one man to rule the house, both of whom di- rect their respective branches of congress to the service of those who prey upon the people, s necessities.
