1.-THE CULTIVATED MAN.
Assistant superintendent of Colored
Schools Addresses Bethel
Literary Society.

President Taft was held up as con-
crete example of 'the cultivated man"
by Roscoe c. Bruce, assistant superin-
tendent of colored schools, in an address
before the Bethel Literary and Historical
Association, at a meeting last evening at
Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church. Mr..
Bruce's address was on 1.-The Temper of
the Cultivated Man." He declared mere
verbal definition was not enough.
Mr.. Bruce also cited Booker T. Wash
ington as an example of the cultivated
man and a man of good judgment. He
referred OHM as 1.-The greatest oppor-
tunist of our time-an opportunist who
looks before and after-an opportunist of

SCOPE OF EDMONTON
Canadian City Metropolis for
Province of Alberta.
SUPPLIES BIG TERRITORY
Nearly Two Million Acres of Land
Now Under Cultivation.
COUNTRY is GROWING FAST
Population Has Increased Greatly in
Recent Years-Plenty of
Room Remains.


EDMONTON, Canada.
The province of Alberta contains about
2S1, 900 square miles of territory. more
than half of which is susceptible of agri-
culture, and capable of producing an
nually more wheat than is harvested in
the entire United States and the Argen-
tine Republic combined. Beyond these
wheat fields lies an empire stretching
away to the Arctic circle in one direction
distance of 1000 miles, and westward
to the Rocky mountains and beyond
distance of 400 miles. All of this terri
tory will be dependent upon Edmonton for
supplies Of every description and Edmon-
ton will be the market for its produce.
The immediate contributary area, known
as Central Alberta, the richest and the
most fertile and the earliest portion of
that great area to be developed, includes
about 10000 square miles. and. at the
present rate of development, will be alive
with wheat farmers within the next ten
years. Within this territory this season
nearly two million acres or land are under
crop, an increase of more than 60 per
cent over the area harvested last year.
According to the official reports from the
Dominion department of agriculture the
last day of August, the winter wheat will
average twenty-eight bushels per acre
twenty-eight bushels, oats Sixty-five
bushels and barley thirty-eight bushels.
Many people will be interested in
comparison Of the acreage of the different
grains harvested this year and last year
in that far-of province:

We Have Business Before Us.

We should not take it for granted
that we are going to get statehood as
an inevitable consequence of the
adoption of the Nelson amendment
and its approval by the president.
OF those two things we are sure. and
we would be sure of the rest but for
apathy on one hand and overconfi-
dence on the other, for undoubtedly
4 very large majority of the voters
of Arizona earnestly want statehood;
an overwhelming majority of the
voters of this county does.
But we must not be ignorant of the
fact that there has always been a
large though not a noisy element
which has never wanted statehood
and which does not want it now on
any. terms. That element will now
have an opportunity TO vote against
admission by voting against the con-
stitution as it viii be submSted. The
opportunity to oppose statehood at
the polls was. never before offered.
1t was not presented at the time of
the ratification of the constitution,
for nothing decisive could result from
that election. But now, if the consti-
tuition, as it is TO be presented again.
should be rejected, the result win be
decisive
There IS a large socialistic element
in Arizona which may be expected to
oppose the constitution in its present
form. Its opposition will be based
on principle, which is of greater i'm
portance to theorists than are any
material benefits which would follow
statehood.
To this element may be added the
more radical of the so-called pro-
gressives, who will doubtless be en-
couraged to opposition by such out
siders as Bourne, Bristow and other
insurgents who would seek to make
capital out of Arizona's ultimate loss
of statehood.
Then there is the rebellious citizen
who is not yet ready to acknowledge
the right of the president and the
congress to force upon him consti-
tuition that is not exactly what he
ordered
All these classes, together with 9TH
ers who would profit from the delay
of statehood constitute. of course,
only a minority Of the electorate. but
in most elections a considerable part
of the strength of the electorate is
latent, SO that it often happens that
the minority wins.
IN 50 mOmentous a matter as the
ratification of the constitution, a sur
prisingly small percentage of the en-
tire vote was cast In that election
nobody had any interest in the defeat
of or rejection of the constitution,
but in the coming elections many, as
we have pointed out. will have senti
mental or material reasons for its
defeat.
