WORTHLESS FARMS.

American agriculture shows a strange
contrast. With the price of farm prod
ucts higher than ever before, farm
land has deprecated in value, and the
number of abandoned farms steadily
increases. Figures gathered by the con-
servation commission are surprising.
IL is shown that there are 10000
square miles of abandoned farms, chief
southeast and the middle central states.
That is, there are in the United States
at present 10000, 900 acres of abandoned
farm land-an area as large as the cul-
tivated part of the Canadian north
west 10 times the size of Rhode Is
land, four times the size of Connecti-
cut, twice the size of Massachusetts,
or half as large as Ohio, says Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. OF the many rea-
sons advanced to explain this deser-
tion of farms, two or three are espe-
cially worth noticing. Most impor-
tant of all, perhaps, is the wasteful sys-
TEN of cultivation that has so long
prevailed in the United States. A
fertile soil has in countless cases been
exhausted by taking everything from
1t and returning nothing to it. Add
TO this the fact that there is a marked
trend OF population from city to coun-
try, and that farm labor has become
so expensive as to leave little profit
from the work of laborer, and it is
little wonder that so many owners of
farms do not care to cultivate them.

Splendid Words for Arbitration.

Platonic advocacy of peace and arbt-
tration is now fashionable even in
quarters that have no intention of ia.
king real step forward in the direc
tion of armament limitation and re-
duction of the staggering war or
defense burdens. But President Taft
made some declarations before the
American Peace and Arbitration
league that are significant and pro-
gressive-that should, and doubtless
will, have great moral effect They
will at any rate. inspire and crafty
all the active peace workers of the
world
1t is no small matter to secure sub
mission to arbitration of questions in
volyng construction OF treaties and
differences over individual claims or
minor property rights. 1t would be a
much greater victory for reason, good
Will and humanity to secure the sub
mission of questions involving ma
tional honor" or vital interest" The
ordinary arbitration speech or article
expressly discaims the idea of in
Guiding such questions, but Mr. TAFT
tells the world that personally he sees
no moral or practical objection to the
arbitration OF matters of honor and
vital interest. He is prepared to go
beyond most men, and all the rules or
men so far heard from on the subject,
in favoring arbitration before and ly
proper tribunals of all international
disputes without exception or limita-
tion.
Kings, presidents. premiers and for
eign ministers will recognize the i'm
portance of this personal" opinion of
the head of the United States. 1t

The Party's Pathway.

Congress must push ahead with
constructive legislation if a political
revolution is to be averted. The
promises of the Republican platform
must be kept, in letter and in spirit,
if the country is to be turned back
from the road to Democratic control
of the federal government. The best
brains in the Taft administration and
the highest courage must be given full

to be won for the party in power

Relic hunters have been breaking
into the church where President Taft
worships in Washington During the
past year it has been twice necessary
to rebuild the presidents pew, and it
is no longer safe to leave the hymn
books in the rack or the cushion
on the seat after the chief executive
has attended services, says Chicago
Record-Herald. So many books and
cushions have been carried away that
officials of the church now take every
thing that is movable from the pew as
soon as the president finishes his de-
votions. Cannot something be done to
lessen the hardship that is thus put
upon the relic hunters? Why not fur
nish plank for the president to sit
on when he goes to church, and then
leave it for the relic hunters to whittle
up and divide among themselves? q?
BY having it made of some kind of
soft wood the comfort of the presi-
dent and the convenience of the relic
hunters would both be provided for
We are a great people and ought TO
be able somehow 20 keep our relic
hunters from feeling that they are be-
ing deprived of their rights.

KEEP TARIFF PEACE
DISAGREEMENT WITH CANADA
TO BE AVOIDED.
Anything in the Nature of Struggle
Would Have Been Most Unfortu-
nate-Important Field for
Our Manufacturers.

1t is good news that tariff peace
with Canada is practically assured.
The time limit for an agreement was
almost reached before the difference
between Washington and Ottawa
were adjusted, and a failure to come
to such a conclusion would have been
costly to both countries and in every
sense unfortunate.
The Dominion is one of the best
customers for American products, not
withstanding the fact that the two
countries are rivals in the markets of
the world in disposing of many i'm
portant staples, chiefly agricultural.
The rapid growth of Canada is add
ing enormously to the purchasing
power of Canadian trade centers, and
the value of Canadian patronage is
fast increasing.
In fact, the rate per cent. of expan-
sion in the international trade of the
Dorinion is higher than the rate of
growth in the foreign commerce of
the United States. The figures are
bigger on this side of the border, but
the rate of increase is lower.
In February the expansion of the
foreign commerce of the Dominion
was nearly 20 per cent. In the first
IL months of the Canadian govern
ments fiscal year the rate of gain
was more than 20 per cent. The ac-
tual increase was over $104, 900, 900
There is nothing small about the
Canada of today.
Such a country, separated from this
republic by a boundary 1000 miles
long and mainly nothing but an imag-
mary line, must be one of the most
important fields in the world for
American manufacturers and export
ers of all kinds to cultivate. To main
tain friendly and favorable trade re-
lations with the Dominion ought to be
settled policy of the United States

Stop "cussine" and Begin Thinking.


Gentlemen who insist on "cussing"
the tariff for the high cost of living
should take copy of the new tariff
law in one hand and price list of
groceries and meats in the other and
inform themselves. Maybe they will
find what the philosophers call food
for thought.
For example, it will be noted that
the tariff rate has been increased on
figs pineapples, dates, hops, split peas,
grapes in barrels, buckwheat -four
and all of these things either remain
at the old prices or have been reduced
in cost to the consumer.
And we only see one chance for the
"cussing" gentleman to reply He
may say he doesn't care for hops any
way.
On the other hand, the tariff has
been reduced on beef, bacon, mutton,
veal, pork, ham, barley, green peas,
dried peas, cream, starch, cabbage,
lard, cornmeal and sugar, among other
things-and on all these things, or
nearly ali of them, the prices have
gone up.
There is no question of the high
price of living. But it isn't fair to
charge the tariff doesn't do it-as the
facts and figures show.
Living costs more and more because
more and more the people who pro-
duce have quit producing and have
gone into the consuming class. And
there is little hope of the cost of liv-
ing getting down to old-time prices
until the tide of population turns from
the mills and the cities, and the mil
lions now depending on wages-or
charity-turn to taking care of them
selves by raising what they need for
food, and little for the market.
Then things will get down to the
normal-and not until tten.-Salt

LIVING HERE AND ABROAD
Words of Samuel Gonpers Good Evil
dence as to the Benefits of
Protection.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, gives
some interesting facts as follows:
81 believe | may assert that whether
the cost of living in Europe or in
America is greater to the working
man depends entirely on the standard
of living he adopts while in America
If he voluntarily lives a life of self
denial in this country that he com
pulsorily lived in his native land, his
outlay in money will remain about
the same. Even then he will hardly
escape gaining some from the superior
supply of the good things of life in
America. Living is cheap to the
wage worker in Europe only because
he does without what in America soon
becomes a necessity to him-food in
good quantity and quality, present
able clothes, and a comfortable home,
and, in general, a larger and freer
life Meat is usually from 25 per
cent. to 100 per cent. higher in Eu-
rope than in the United States. The
immigrants coming to America finds
that he can buy in quantity, and Tin
cases where he need not) his flour,
potatoes, fuel, sugar, coffee. salt-the
essentials for his plain table-all cost
less ordinarily than in the land he
left. The cheapness and abundance
of many varieties of fruit and of our
melons and tomatoes is a surprise to
him. Closely after the most pressing
necessities come a line of things
cheaper than in Europe, such as cot
ton clothing. jumpers and shoes. Fine
wool and silk stuffs, furs, laces and
kid gloves cost less abroad than in
the United States, fact, however,
which bears as lightly in an inquiry
as to the conditions of the masses as
does the tariff on the masterpieces of
art. The main conclusion as to hous-
ing is the same as that relating to
food; if the immigrant who comes to
tlis country is willing to continue
living here at the same level he was
obliged to accept in his native land,
he can find it for the same money"
