RAILROAD TROUBLE.

Somerset, KY, March 13.-AIl
traffic on the Queen and Crescent
Rouet" between this city and Chat
tanooga, Tenn, is at standstill to-
day as the result of the armed clashes
between the striking firemen and
strike breakres, in which eleven
have already been killed and a dozen
or more wounded.
The strike resulted from the refusal
of the railroad officials to give assur-
ance that the white firemen should
have preference over negroes in the
matter of promotion. Since then the
efforts of the railroad officials to fill
the places of the white strikers with
negroes has resulted in daily armed
conflicts.
Those killed include nine negroe
strike breakers and two white deputy
sheriffs. All were fred on from the
mountain sides as they were riding in
the cabs of passing engines. James
Carl, another white detective, was
fatally wounded last night as the
train on which he was riding pulled
into Glngary, Tenn.
Five negro firemen had been killed
at various times since, but the climax
came last night when -four other ne
groes and the two deputy sheriffs
were killed in fierce shooting at
Somerset and Glengary, Tenn. Since
then all traffic on the road south of
Fere base eased.
The two deputy sheriffs killed are
ii. M. Holloway, who was found shot
through the head near the same
place. The names of the negro fire.
men who have been killed are not
known.

Preach Health on Farmer Train

Richmond, March 14-Virginia
farmers are being told how to protect
themselves from disease as well as
how to protect their crops from pests,
through the lecturers who are now
running farmers trains throughout
the State. While representatives of
the Agricultural Department are
preaching on alfalfa and corn in one
car, an officer of the State Health
Department is telling the farmers
how to prevent typhoid fever and
hookworm disease.
The Health Department was repre-
sented on the last train which toured
the Southern Railroad from Danville
to West Point, and had also a small
exhibit showing the proper construc-
tion of the sanitary conveniences of
the home. In addition, DR.. Allen w.

livered lectures before many gather

Freeman, who feels so much encour.

EXTRAVACANCE +?

Reproduced in the Lynchburg
News, we find an editorial article
from the Charlottesville Progress on
Democratic Extravaganza" in Vir-
ginia. The Progress quotes from that
journalistic jeremiah, the Richmond
Evening Journal, the familiar wall
that the State is ruined and bankrupt
and adds:
"This state of reckless extrava-
gance will continue as long as the
people continue to send representa-
tives to the legislature who are more
interested in creating new judicial
circuits, adding to the number of
state officers and increasing the Off
cial salaries, than they are in reduc-
ing taxation and legislating in the
interest of the mass of the people.
The voters have nobody to blame but
themselves for the threatened bank
ruptcy of the state treasury, and for
the fact that Virginia has the most
expensive form of state government
in the South.
We have seen utterances like these
from the Progress before now, but it
is coming nearer bill of particulars
than ever before. Now let it go on
and give us details. They are what
we have been begging. 1t is easy to
talk of extravaganza. Let us get at
where the extravaganza and waste
are. AS we Judge, the Progress
thinks we have too many judicial cir
cults and too many State officers and
pay them too much salary. Now let
us have at it.
The Progress is supposed to be an
intelligent and we'll informed newspa-
per. 1t is supposed to know at least
as much as those representatives in
the legislature whoseE acts it, criti-
cises. Let us tell specifically which
judicial circuits it belivees are unnec-
essary and should be abolished; which
state officers it thinks are unnecessary
and should be abolished; which sal
aries are too high and should be re-
duced.
One of the largest items of in
crease in appropriations was for in.
situations of learning, from STA, 900
in 1899 to $500 in 1908, a !
difference of 1892, 600. We would
need to abolish good many judges
and state offices to save that sum.
Does the Progress object to this in
crease, including the part of it that
went to the University of Virginia?
We want some specific, direct,
itemized facts on this extravaganza
business. We want the P orgess or
somebody, to show US where the ex-
travagance is. We want them to tell
US what are the appropriations, sala-
ries and expenses to which they OBJ
ject and exactly where they think we
should begin to cut down. People are |
not and should not be satisfied with |
or convinced by mere general talk of
extravaganza. 1t is good, con.
venient, mouth filling word, but let
us have explanation of where it is
and in what it consists.
Certainly it is one of the privileges
and DUETS and should be one of the
pleasures of newspaper to give the
information and suggestion for which
we ask. Roanoke Times.

OUR WOMEN SMUGGLERS.

The smuggling business is nOtswhat
| ii used to be. The customs officers
are too viligant. Every few days a
new scheme to evade the duties is
laid bare and slowly and surely the
leaks in Uncle Sans revenue source
are being stopped. Indignant society
women declare after each exposure
that the suspicious of customs house
men are indignities which ought not
be tolerated in a free country.
There apparently are great num-
ber of women who can not see the
wrong in smuggling. Women. ospe"-
tally. cannot seem TO see why they
should pay duty on certain imported
articles. Some men are in the same
class. These persons bitterly de-
nouncc the officials for performing
their duty.
These officials do not try 10 be Of
fensive. They try TO get through
with an unpleasant duty without caus
ing trouble. and at the same time do
their work thoroughly. There is no
reason for women TO object in such
terms as some noted society women
have used recently.
According TO their own stories they
received little rough handling. They

TO TRAIN SOCIAL WORKERS

Only within the last few years has
social work been recognized as pro-
fession worthy of study and scientific
training
The first organized effort to train
charity workers began in 1898 when
the New York Charity Organization
Society offered 4 summer course for
persons engaged in prisons. poor
houses. hospitals. insane asylumns and
similar public institutions. From this
has grown 4 more extended course.

thropy was established and was later
endowed by J. s. Kennedy, the we'll
known philanthropist. Schools similar

Illogical side of Hobo Day" Articles
setting forth the merits of this stunt
have flooded the viewpoint column fOr
the last few days signed by everyone
from a dignified "Alumnus" to the de

In these articles more attention is
given 10 rhetoric than TO thought. They
have alluded to the misleading star OF
the writer of a previous article and
have insinuated that the rounding up
of dozen or two "'bOS" has ediIca-
tiOnal value. Perhaps the people OF
Columbia have had an education too.
They were besieged for days by these
beggars wanting handouts and old
clothes. They We're subjected to the

In their stunts the students were
associated with these failures. These
men whose idleness makes them so
cial outcastS We're made the heroes OF
a day. Hundreds of students-tomOr-
rows men of affairs-were dressed in
emulation OF their example. and like
them begged handouts.
The "HobOes" We're not imported
for the purpose of studying them from
a sociological standpoint. but were
brought here as an advertisement of
the day-as means of increasing the
receipts that contributed to the pur-
chase of a picture and TO the purchase
of banquet.
Hobo Day originated as student
stunt and as such was all right. but
the desire OF students to form a more
detailed acquaintance with the causes
of their idlenesS may lead to their
learning the knowledge first hand. Ii
is all right TO study the social coIdi-
tions of the present day. but To at
tempt to learn from such a class OF
men is more than idocy.
The thirst for knowledge was not
half so strong as the disgust OF the
many who Went TO see common sense

FOR A GREATER MARKET.

The merchant that has the largest
field from which TO draw his trade is
the one most likely to prosper. 1t is
so with person engaged in any line
of industry, and the same principle
applies to trade between nations.
Canada offers TO the United States
a great market-One of the greatest
in the world. In the five years ending
June 80, 1910, the total trade between
the United States and Canada exceed
ed one and one quarter billion dollars.
The balance in favor of the United
States was a few millions under a half
billion.
We sold Canada So ZOO, 900 worth OF
farm products more than we purchas-
ed from it, and practically all of The
$22.000.000 worth of corn which 1t
consumed from our FORMS We sold
Canada nearly s5,0O0.OOO worth of
wheat, while we purchased from il
less than half million.
If this enormous commerce can be
carried on between two countries I'M
der the handicap of high tariff, one
can only speculate on the enormous
size TO which this trade will grow
under free trade. But even then the
balance will remain in favor OF the
United States and thus We will reap
the greater profit from the change.
The farmer wants to sell his pro-
ducts at the highest price, and
greater market makes greater prices
and greater prosperity.

AMERICAS SWAMP LANDS.

Americans like to form an estimate
of the yastness of this country by COM
pairing single states TO European ma,
tiOns. A more startling comparison
than this has been made by Frank
G. Carpenter in his article on draining
American swamps.
He points out that government cX-
perts have estimated the area of Amer
ica's swamps at being seventy-seven
and seventy-nine million acres. Al
their lowest estimation, he adds, they
represent a country larger than Great
Britain and Ireland and equal to the
three states of Indiana, Illinois, and
Ohio. Moreover, he shows that the
soil of these swamp lands is richer
than that of Holland and that their
size is ten times as great.
After glancing over these cOmpari-
sons one realizes more fully the m.
developed wealth of this country. aIr.
Carpenter estimates that the draining
OF these lands would bring into cul-
tivation new soil which would fec
more than fifty million persons and
would create new real estate
sand million dollars.
