VIII Pennsylvania Join the Elect:

Governor Wilson said in a speech at
HobOkcn. N. j., the other night that
when the people Of Pennsylvania ina
the persons to do the th.1gs they
want done there will be an earth
quake. The Philadelphia North Amer
lean tells what that prediction means
and upon what it is founded. 1t says
Governor Wilson knows that, ON
trary to general belief, Pennsylvania
at the core is radical" and that he
understand perfectly how the per
version of real protection. for the
beneft Of special interests in n
vania. has chlorOforned a normally
right public sentiment and p~lglrOned
civic conscience and proceeds to tel
how this sentiment is TO be restored to
is proper normal condition and how
the civic conscience is to be
ed. 1t is to be done by the speeche:
and teachings of such men as Cover
nor Wilson and Senators Clapp ana

audiences, and whose speeches win De

popular government and declares the

played by Pennsylvania audiences has
given the speakers greater hope than

the light of all this it asks IN con-

No one has even seen Mark Twain

behind a mass of tobacco smoke. But
there was a time when a beholder vas

book MARK Twain Archibald Hen
derson quotes the late Senator VIII
liam M. Stewart Of Nevada as to the
Senator's impression of Mr.. Clemens
at a time when that young writer was
very short for cash.
He was arrayed in a Seedy suit
which hung upon his lean frame in

But Edward Peron Kingston. auth

quotes Kingston to the effect that he
found in Twain, when the latter was a

listing circumstances COIne largely
from the soil. To bring about this
increment in wealth, three things are,
Of course. esscntial-first, to make and
keep our land fertile; second, to seed,
till and harvest crops most economic
ally; third. to market the crops in the
best possible manner No money can
be made from farming poor land; lit
tie return can be obtained from farm
ing good land in wasteful ways: a fine
crop marketed badly leaves small
profits.
h object, then, of teaching agri-
culture in our common schools, in our
high schools and in our colleges is to
secure these three ends. A trained
people will be an efficient people, and
efficiency makes wealth.
That such training in
and related arts will secure these ends
has been Conclusively demonstrated.
The wealth Of such countries as Den
mark, Germany, France and Belgium
has resulted from Industrial education
and it must be borne in mind that
these countries are far less happily
situated than America. In our own
country precisely similar results have
followed the farm training given in
Wisconsin, Iowa and other States.
The almost marvellous success Of
the boys enlisted in the corn clubs Of
our State furnishes ample proof of
what can be done by instruction. AS
is well known the average yield Of
corn in North Carolina is about eigh-
teen bushels an acre. The boys av-
eraged fifty bushels IN acre. 1t has
been estimated that il all our corn
growers made the same average as the
boys did, the increased yield from corn
would have added over 100000 900
to our State wealth..
Why did the boys SO far excel their
parents? Simply because by CONVEX
satiOn, by lecture, by circular letters
of instruction they were taught five
principles Of good farming. These
principles in addition to many others
Will be taught in the schools set apart
cor this purpose and can be and should
be taught in all our rural schools. The
State institutions are Offering courses
OF study to lit teachers for thi new
work. 1t is to be hoped that many
OF our best teachers will at once equip
themselves for the headship of these
schools and be leaders in the upbuild-
ms OF our soil and the creation of new
wealth.
In addition to the benefits derived
from increasing the wealth of the
state, the happiness of those engaged
IN farming Will be greatly augmented
by these schools. When a man is en-
gagged In a business of which he is a
conscious master and every detail of
winch is familiar to him, he Is far
happier than any tyrO can ever be.
Moreover, his acquired knowledge OF
Nature and her laws opens up thou
sands Of avenues of pleasure as he
watches with trained eyes the work
ings of those laws and X advan-
tage Of them in hts daily tasks. HI
sees the operation Of law where the
unskilled man sees only mystery. Hi:

The assured coming in North Caro-
lima Of Farm Life Schools and the
assured teaching Of the fundamental
principles of agriculture and domestic
science in our rural schools are open
ing new fields for Well-equipped teach
ers. This new field will be both use
ful n inviting, for there is bundant
necessity for such schools and the
introduction Of these subjects dealing
with nature Will be welcomed by
young people.
AS long as the population Of our
State remains as largely rural as it
now is, the most important economic
question before our people is the in
crease of wealth from the land. II

RECIPROCITY MEASURE GOES

Bill, Which Now Goes to Senate, Gets

Washington.-By the decisive vote Of

passed the Canadian reciprocity tariff
measure, marking the close Of elk
days fight.
Ten of the opposing votes were east
by the Democrats and the other 70
by Republicans. A majority of tho
Republicans in the house voted
against the measure. and the fears of
President Taft were realized. namely,
that the reciprocity measure would go
through by Democratic votes alone.
At the last minute the president sum.
moned a group of Republican oppo-
nents of reciprocity to the White
House and made personal appeal to
them. but without avail.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where strenuous efforts are to be
made. through amendments and other
wise, to defeat It. Announcements
that such was the plan of opposing
senators were made during the fight
In the house.
Most startling in their nature were
the explanations given by Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee. of plans that had been
adopted by great trusts. monopolies
and interests to defeat the reciprocity
bill. That fight is still on and will

TRAPPED IN SHAFT
TwENTY.THREE MINERS ARE EN-.
ToMsED BY EXPLOSION AT
ELK GARDEN, w. VA.
BELIEVED NONE ARE ALIVE
Great Masses of Debris Block Tunnels
and Rescuers Are Unable to Reach
Imprisoned Men-cause Of Aecl-
dent Unknown.

Elk Garden, W. Va.-As a result of
an explosion 20 miners are intombed
in the OFT mine No. 80 of the Davis
Coal and Coke company here.
There is not believed to be one
chance in thousand that any one
Of the men is still alive. Az tons Of
debris are blocking the way, 1t Is not
expected that most of the victims will
be reached for q day or two. One
body has been recovered.
The cause Of the explosion has not
been determined. That the disaster
was not even more dreadful is due to
the fact that digging of coal had been
suspended temporarily and reduced
force was cleaning the workings.
Whether the explosion was due to
gas or dust will not be known until
complete investigation has been
made.
AS soon as the. accident occurred
Superintendent Grant organized res
cue corps and entered the mine. after
notifying officials of the company at
the head offices in Cumberland, Nd.
The rescue parties had not ad-
vanced far into the workings before
they discovered the obstruction.
1t then was decided to erect an en-
trance nearer the probable point of
the explosion by cutting through the
wall of an adjoining mine owned by
the same company.
The rescuers have penetrated to the
No. 20 mime at a point about 1000
feet from the outside entry. There
still remained about the same dis
lance to go before reaching the
buried miners.
The OFT mine No. 20 is almost d.
fectly under the town of Elk Garden
which is on hill. The mouth of the
mine is about half a mile from the
town. down the hill.
