A Transcontinental Telephone.

Completion OF connections by tele-
phone between New York and Denver
via Omaha marks another milestone
In the utilization Of this great inven-
ton. Yet the spokesman for the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company says the lines will soon be
connected up from New York to San
Francisco. That will give us q COM
plete transcontinental long distance
telephone. This is making rapid head
way, for the telephone is still In
it's infancy. Although 1t was in 1887
that Page of Salem, Mass, observed
that an iron rod suddenly magnetized
and demagnetized would produce GER
tain sounds, 1t was not until 1878 that
Alexander Graham Bell developed the
idea to 9 stage OF practical usefulness
Within the lifetime of a young man,
therefore, this marvellous invention Of
the telephone has been brought to its
present development, its lines crisis
Crossing the country like cobwebs,
stretching over mountain and valley
and stream, into the remotest hooks
and corners Of the earth. And now
we are to have the contamination of
the enterprise in single circuit car
rying the human voice from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
1t is fair to expect that talking at
distance however great will become
an ordinary business transaction and
that the rates can and will be made
popular just as has been the case with
the telegraph.

Taft at His Best.

People who admire a man with the
courage of his convictions, whether
favorable or opposed to Canadian re-
ciprocity, must applaud the answer
given by President Taft to the delega-
ton of the National Grange remon-
strating against the reciprocity agree
ment. Mr.. Taft practically told his
visitors that the time for discussing
the merits of reciprocity 80 far as he
was concerned had passed; that he
had looked carefully into the subject
before he acted; that he had con-
WINGED himself he was right and pro-
posed to go ahead regardless of per-
sonal or political consequences in the
Thorough belief that a short expert
ence with reciprocity would prove it's
value to the country as trade stimu-
lator and it's harmlessness to our own
people. In other words, the president
is willing to stake his own political
future on the wisdom of his action in
negotiating the reciprocity treaty with
Odhdud, dAuB WASlhCI Llbhl VI WlOASy
is determined to fight it out along that
line without wavering or turning back.
This declaration of his position
must, as we have said, command for
the president unqualified public ap-
proval. All must agree that unless
he was thoroughly satisfied that he
was making the right move he should
never have started with his reciprocity
proposals, and having started and
brought them this far, 1t would be Ia
mentable weakness, for fear of polit-
zeal disfavor, to back up or to leave
the reciprocity agreement to an uncer-
tain fate between a democratic house
and a republican senate. The only
reason for the extra session was to Sc
cure action by congress because the
regular session had failed to act one
way or the other. Having fathered
the reciprocity treaty, the president
has assumed responsibility and stands
up to say that it is a responsibility he
will not finch nor shirk.

MOTHER.

You may sing me your song Of golden hair.
You may sing OF raven tresses,
You may sing OF sweetheart young and
fair,
To whom your heart confesses;
But I'll sing OF one whose feeble step
In the valley fainter growing;
OF her silv'ry crown
Who wanders down
Where the setting sun is glowing.
You may press press to your heat the wind
And cover her lips with kisses.
As you proudly exclaim The world Is
wide
But there is no love as this is!"
Yet the love of maid will oft prove vain,
Hearts growing cold that once seemed
tender:
That CLEANS from afar,
AS time recedes. like the ebb Of the tide,
And the waVe-sWept shores left dreary,
When gone in youth with its insolent pride
And the soul from the struggling weary,
It's then, again. would comfort seek
With thou trembling arms about me-
How that gentle smile
My worries beguile!
Nor troubles, nor cares can flout mel
Then quatf. it you will. to her head of
or drink to those raven tresses,
And drain your beaker, like lover bold.
To whom your heart confesses;
As for me: here's to her whose feeble step
In the valley fainter seeming;
To her silvry crown
Who wanders down
Where the setting sun is cleaning.

Affinity Laws.

The Columbus Journal believes
Ohio should follow the example Of
Kansas in enacting a law Furnishing
men who desert their wives and fam
lilies. 1t holds up to public approval
the so-called anti-affinity law enacted
by the last Kansas legislature as a
model. This law provides that where
a man abandons his wife and elopes
with another woman or not he shall,
upon conviction, be imprisoned in tho
state penitentiary for felony. The law
makes provision also for a reconcilia-
ton, in which event, upon proper
proof of his intention to support aud
care for his wife and family, the
erring husband may escape the PEN
atty of the law. "It is the only such
law in the country" says the Ohio
paper.
In which it is wrong. This Kansas
law is doubtless a good one It must
be, for it has many earmarks of the
Nebraska law enacted by the legisla-
ture OF 1903. in operation now eight
years, whereas the Kansas law has
been operating about eight weeks.
The Nebraska law makes punishable
as felony the abandonment, not only
of a wife, but of child or children
and fixes the penalty at year in the
Ipenitentiary or six months in the
county Jail. And like the Kansas law,
1t makes provision for restitution, 30
that If after conviction the man shall
give a sufficient bond in court binding
him to live with and maintain his
family, the court may suspend the
sentence.
But the Nebraska law, apparently,
is even wider in it's protective meas
ures than the Kansas statute, for 1t
applies to a recreant wife or mother
as we'll as to deserving husband or
father, imposing on her precisely the
same penalties as upon the man. This
is nothing more than right, for often
it has developed that women have for
saken their homes. If Ohio is looking
for pattern 1t probably can do no
better than to use Nebraska's, which
takes precedence over the Kansas act
| by reason of his age.

Madero and His Army.

II Madero ever had real control
over his rebel forces in Mexico he
must have lost It, as shown in the dis
orderly assault upon Jaurez. He did
not order the original attack, it seems
and says he gave no orders to ad-
vance, although press correspondents
say they heard him issue such orders
some time after lighting had begun.
No matter about that, his army APP
parently did as it pleased, with or
without, by or in spite, of any COM
mand from him. The descriptions
agree that it became an "uncontrolla-
BILE, uncontrolled and biood-thiTsty
mob" and they probably have not
overdrawn the facts "Insubordina-
ton and a lust for the fight of which
federal concessions apparently had
deprived them" is given as the animus
that drove the rebels onto Juarez.
It is manifestly tersely told truth
here was a pack of hot-blooded, ad-
venturous Mexicans about to be dis
appointed in their hope of getting to
shoot-not a well-trained, systematic
army, but an incoherent mob of men.
Madero is chagrined, disappointed.
The day before he had impulsively
fastened messages Of felicitation TO
President Diaz upon his avowed inten-
ton to resign.
Another thing forcibly emphasized
by this attack on Juarez is the reason
for President Diaz's determination to
resign only after assured that the
danger OF anarchy as consequence Of
his retirement has passed. 1t will
take a strong hand to maintain order
in Mexico Madero has not yet shown
that he possesses the necessary
strength. The situation is not en-
couraging. We see now how hard it
is to stop war of this kind, in coun-
try of this kind. Talk Of American
Intervention continues. The circum-
stances have imposed a strain upon
Washington diplomacy, but we may
expect the reins to be firmly guided
there.

INCREASE IN AGRloULrURE.
Striking Figures ON Improved Acre.
age and Land Values.
New York Sun


Preliminary reports of the bureau of the
census indicate that the number OF farms
and their aggregate acreage are little
greater than they were ten years ago
Partial returns are at hand for about half
the states, and general conditions appear
to be much the same In the east and the
west. New York had 22e,72o farms in 1900
and n4660 In 1910; the number of improved
acres was Is, $4,000 and l4,s25,OO0. In Illinois
farms were 264,15l and 250s53 and the i'm
proved acreage was 27,6e9,0OO and 280O5,00O
In many states there has been loss in both
number and improved acreage, as In New
York, and in others only a relatively in
considerable change, as In Illinois. Kansas
farms have increased 3 per cent. in num-
Der and per cent in improved acreage.
Minnesotas farm acreage increased per
cent and Missouri's per cent Pennsyl-
vania lost per cent. The notable gains
have been In the northwest, though even
there they are not evenly distributed
North Dakota farms advanced "a per cent.
in number and 112 per cent. In improved
acreage; South Dakota, II per cent. and 10
per cent. and Idaho 70 per cent and 90
per cent.
In the entire area reported there appears
an increase of less than per cent. in the
total number of farms and about Is per
cent. in the total improved acreage The
most salient figures In the returns are those
showing the rise In the value of farm
property, especially in the west. Selecting
states in different regions the advances in
the value OF farm land and buildings have
been, in percentages: New Hampshire, 70;
Massachusetts. q; New York, 80: New jar
sey. 81; Pennsylvania, Is; West Virginia,
IS; Illinois, 80; Wisconsin, Is: Kansas, 1853;
Minnesota, IS; Missouri. 100: Nebraska, 214;
Oregon, 24a; Colorado. 80; North Dakota,
S14; South Dakota, s5s. and Idaho. I7s Only
less striking are the figures showing the
increased expenditures for labor. an In
crease entirely out of proportion TO the
increase In cultivated acreage. Not less
than 70 per cent. more money was paid for
labor in 1910 in the states reported than In
1900. This is a partial explanation Of the
higher cost of farm products.
In Missouri where there was a decline
of per cent. in the number Of farms ant
gain of per cent In improved acreage
the amount spent for labor was SO per cent
larger and that for fertilizers was IS pei
cent. larger. In Kansas, with a per cent
increase in farms and 10 per cent in acre
age. the labor expenditure went up 30 pei
cent. In Illinois. with per cent. decreas,
in farms and per cent increase In acreage
labor expenditures increased 80 per cent
In New England, where there was an &C
tual decrease in farms and acreage, labol
expenditure increased 90 per cent, ant
practically the same condition appears II
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
The eastern states have also gradually en-
larged their expenditures for fertilizers.
There Is much that is encouraging ant
nothing that is alarming in the farm condi
lions of the United States.

Advertising for Mayors.

IT is hard to know Just when TO
take humorist seriously. For here is
Adam Bede declaring in a speech at
Pittsburg that the best way for a city
to get mayor Is to advertise for him
In the newspapers and that there is
mo reason why one man might not go
from city to city, successfully acting
as the mayor of each. He thinks the
day is coming when we shall have
men specially trained for governing
municipalities, just as we have now
for managing great commercial insti-
buttons. And the speech leads a
paper that knows Colonel Bede quite
we'll to remark that while he is a
humorist, he has said something seri-
Gus for onceA
Well, perhaps Minnesota's funny
man ia right, at least as to the latter
proposition he sets up, for 1t is a
method praetieed by German cities.
Certainly there is need In this country
for skill and experience In the gov

the affairs admit that our chief weak
ness is in city government. II 1t could
be arranged to turn over our city at
fairs to men OF proved integrity and
trained powers and have them run on
Ia purely merit basis, why, of course.
it would be a splendid improvement,
but the trouble there Is that old
human nature stalks in again.
AS to the getting Of mayors by means
of newspaper advertising, that is pre-
cisely the way many cities have been
getting their mayors and there lie ample
evidence TO convince fair-minded mon
that. many a city has been getting
the short end Of the bargain. Ct
course Bede's method Of advertising
differs q little from the one that has
been commonly pursued. HIS theory
may not be impeached n we might
pick our mayors to be Judged.
