CITY AND COUNTRY LIFE.

HERE is widespread interest in the back
to the farm movement In almost every
newspaper one picks up one finds the matter
discussed. 1t was brought up at the recent din
per Of the Sons Of Delaware at Dover, at which
Kent countans warned the sons of the state who
have left us that, if they want to get back on
Delaware soil, they had better hurry in purchas-
ing it or they may be shut out by the advancing
price OF the land
A young man recently wrote to the Kansas
City Star asking the opinion of the editor as to
the opportunities for young men as farmers conlS
pared with opportunities in the cities.
The Star thinks that the tide of migration
which has been running from the country dis
tricts to the cities is certain to diminish in force,
even if it does not go in the other direction.
But il must be confessed that the tide to the
cities has not halted in a manner noticeable,
Young men from the country districts are seek
ing the cities in large numbers, but there is no
general movement of young men from the cities
TO the country The social and other life OF the
city is too much of a lure. The independence of
the farm is surrendered without a whimper by
most young men for the pent up city because
the compensations of city life are considered
more desirable
It seems reasonable to suppose that the profits
OF Farming viii increase. In the census of 1910
II was shown that o2 per cent. of the population
Of the %nited States lived in the country. on
farms or IN villages of fewer than 5000 inhabi-
tants. Today probably not more than Ok per
cent. arc living under such conditions. With
fewer men producing and more mouths in the
cities to feed, prices Of farm products must natur-
ally increase. And with this increase sooner or
later there will be return of laborers 10 the
country 1t they find the cost of living in cities too
expensive
With farm products gaining in value as the
years go on, and with farm life made increasingly
comfortable. the Star concludes that the counfryy
Is offering great opportunities TODAY. greater N
many ways than the CITY
a peculiar thing about the question is that
most Of the matter exploiting tbe ad,an-
tages Of farm life is put forward bv the men N
the cities. The farmers themselves do not talk
so much about their advantages Probably If
they would tell some of the drawbacks of coun-
try hte, they would more than offset the opin-
ions OF the men who in small city offices picture
the aurements Of the country.

New York World.

New York World.
From Yonkers to the New York City
Han should be only pleasant forenoon
stroll to-day for the wonderful old man
who recently walked seventy miles on his
SEVENTEEN birthday. Starting from Los
Angeles to cross the continent in ninety
days, Mr.. Weston has thirteen days to
spare. His average has been about forty
miles a day. frequently under conditions
Of great difficulty.
AS a physical feat this is remarkable.
Again and again young, strong men have
accompanied Weston for a few miles of
his long tramp and have retired nursing
chafed feet and stiffened muscles. No wise
horseman would undertake to ride a horse
across the continent at a longer average
Of daily distance. Horse psychology does
not compass such control of mind over
muscle, Of grit over effort as weston's.
One reason why men walk less than
they used to do was illustrated on We'd
nesday when a scorching automobile
struck Weston, injuring his ankle Auto
mobiles, bicycles and trolley cars have
decreased the necessity for walking and
speed maniacs have new means of maxi
ing It unpleasant and unface. But armies
still walk as did Hannlbal's and Alexan-
ders. Poets. philosophers and statesmen
still walk for thought. Mr.. Weston may
see to-day a Mayor who walks daily a
moderate number Of miles. and finds in
the exercise the sane restorative of
strength and poise for tasks at whose
weight feebler men marvel.
To walk, to run TO swim and to row OF
paddle a boat are primitive accomplish
ments that wise men will never neglect.

INVESTIGATING NEWSPAPERS.

nj r. VIII Irwin, who is investigating the
= = newspaper situation" in this country,
for Golfers, finds the most discouraging thing
about it is the control of many newspapers by
business men who wish to use them in the inter
est OF other business investments. Such control
OF newspapers, he thinks. means the colorine of
news to favor private interests.
Many newspapers, it Is true, are so owned but
often they are not successful as business enter
prises and their character Is well known to the
public Rich men may own newspapers as a
plaything to advance their own private interests
or to vent their own queer ideas. or to settle
grudges which they may hold against business
or social rivals or imagined rivals Often these
papers sail under false colors Of so-ealled "inde-
pendenceP that they may the better accomplish
their own ends.
And yet the problem is not difficult of solution.
The general public may easily discover such
papers; In fact they are known in the community
just as political newspapers which are controlled
by politicians for the purpose OF advancing this
or that scheme are known.
1t these newspaper organs of politicians or o
private individuals were not read by the public
their owners would soon become weary Of con
duoting them. The people in newspapers, as ir
everything else, get what they want.

Reports from Massachusetts say that everything
is not smooth sailing for Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. the scholar in politics" who will come
up for reelection before he next legislature.
MIR. Lodge has held his place in the Senate for
many years. and at no time during his term has
his leadership in the old Bay State been seriously
disputed He can hardly be called reactionary,
although he has not been in sympathy with the
progressives He has been a firm political and
personal supporter of Mr.. Roosevelt But con-
siderable opposition has developed to the return
of Senator Lodge. 1t may be that this opposi-
ton is but a reflex Of the sentiment that has been
spreading throughout the country in favor OF
the retirement of some of the conspicuous leaders
