controlling their steel business. More
useful to average humanity is the
construction of the yacht Carnegie
with bronze substituted for iron
work. This does not defect the nee
die of the compass as iron does and
promises much more accurate data
and measurements of the sea.
The institute expects to be able to
give soon a formula for the manufac-
ture of Portland cement or concrete
from materials found in all parts of
the world and this, if not bought up
by the cement trust, may reduce the
cost of this kind of work. So prac-
teal as well as educational benefits
may follow this liberality of Mr.. Car
negie Mr.. Carnegie hopes to live
until Prof. Hale has taken a good
look into the skies with the 100 inch
lens and if he continues to give with
the same lavish hand while he
waits everyone will hope his wish
may be gratified.

OUR RURAL POPULATION.
Views of a Back Hillsman-Boys
ON Prosperous Farms are Will
ing to Remain at Home.

The recent census makes a rather
serious decline in the population of
strictly rural New Y ork. That this has
been the case for years is shown by
former reports and amply verified
by writer's and observers generally
who have a chance to notice or are
at all familiar with conditions in
the 'sback'' country. Deserted
houses, even in the better communi-
ties, are too comon to cause COM
ment, while the population of the
remote hill districts is yearly .becom-
ing smaller and the farms poorer.
All this results from death, immi-
grafton and light birth rate among
the native population and almost
negative immigration to the rural
communities of foreigners or town
people, in spite of every induce
ment of cheap lands, good markets
and careful advertising by state
and private endeavor.
Census figures, while accurate as
to town and city population, as
we'll as state and county figures,
hardly tell the whole story. Pop
ulation of strictly rural commute
les is figured right in with smaller
manufacturing towns or with large
cities if they hapen to be included
within county limits. Where cities
and towns gain at the expense Of
the surrounding country this repre-
sents the total we'll enough, but
hardly shows how the population
divides itself in urban, suburban
and strictly rural residents.
To get at the exact facts, census
figures should show the actual
farm population as we'll as farm fig
ures on crops, livestock and aggre-
gate ia RIM wealth Tn tha absence
of exact figures city people or any
not born and raised among rural
conditions can hardly realize the
change that has taken place within
the memory of even such of US as
are yerging on toward middle age, OF
more so with those who show the
gray of the older generation. Con
ditions as we of the back hills know
them would certainly surprise the
superficial observer from trains OF

Many New Senators.

Eighteen state legislatures elected
United States senators last week and
of this number only five senators
were reelected. One of these was
John Bankhead, democrat, of Ala
bama. The others were republicans
as follows: George A. Sutherland of
Utah, George T. Oliver of Pennsyl-
vania, Moses E. Clapp of Mime
sofa and Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas
sachusetts. The return of Sen.
Lodge had the most interest in this
section and his return makes him
the senior member of the United
States senate after the fourth of
next March. Being still in the prime
of life and a man whose honesty is
not questioned his seniority will
that body.
In at least five states democrats
were elected to succeed republicans
and in nearly every case prominent
republican leaders. In Indiana Sen.
Beveridge gives way to John w.
Kern. In Maine Sen. Hale is sue
ceeded by Charles F. Johnson, a
man without legislative experience.
Missouri elected James A. Reed to
succeed William Warner and Nebras-
ka elected G. NJ. Hitchcock in place
of e. J. Burkett. In New York Sen.
Depew will be succeeded by a demo-
crat, if the democrats get together.
In other states there was no
change in the political faith of the
senators elected but some very
strong men gave way to new sena-
tors. In Connecticut Sen. Bulkely
is succeeded by George Payne Nc
Lean Michigan retired Sen. Bur-
rows and elected Charles E. Town
send and Rhode Island elected Hen
ry F. Lippitt to succeed Nelson w.
Aldrich.
With men of the standing of those
named going out of the senate it will
be recognized that a great change and
loss has come to the senate. The
new men are an unknown quantity
but it seems safe to predict that the
country will have the opportunity to
determine whether a senate more
susceptible to popular sentiment is
a stronger or safer body than the
old senate which decided questions
upon it's own judgment and accord
ing to fixed principles instead of the
temporary desires of the people.

negie expressed. his enthusiasm over

complishing. Prof Hale at the OBJ
servatory on Mt. Wilson in Califor-
MIA has discovered $4,000 new

Nature Revolts.

Even nature revolts at the long
legislative session. A special provi-
dence came along today in the form
of a freshet at Montpelier. There
were no signs here of such phe-
nomenon. Water poured into the
State House, inundating the base
ment rooms and sending the solons
scurrying up stairs and out of the
building and to their homes. One
man wanted the body to adjourn
Failing to move the body he ad-
journed himself.
We cannot help thinking that this
revolt of nature was to protect the
old commonwealth from bankruptcy.

of fisheries and game. It is a fact
however, that wild fowl, once so
abundant, are fast becoming scarce.
A recent report of the chiefof United
States Biological Survey states that
the time seems to be rapidly APP
preaching when wild fowl will no
longer be available either for sport
or for food. This state of things is
attracting. wide attention, and
among other remedial measures the
possibility of rearing wild ducks in
preserves is being discussed. The
food supply Of these birds has an i'm
portant bearing on the problem and
the department of agriculture is
making quite complete investigation
of this question.
This last fall witnessed more or
less duck hunting on Lake Cham
plain by means of power boats.
This is not only Illegal but devoid
of any of the distinguishing quail
ties which mark a sportsman The
department of fisheries and game in
vites the cooperation of all good
citizens in stopping this illegal hunt
ing and all other violation of laws
designed to protect and preserve
the fish and game of the State. All
communications to the department
are treated as confidential when so
desired by the writer's.
In this connection it may be in
teresting for our readers to know
that Hon. John w. Titcomb, State
commissioner of fish and game, is
at present In correspondence with
a party of New York men who pro-
pose buying or leasing tract of
land in some desirable location in
Vermont, for the purpose of estab-
fishing a fish and game farm. They
propose to invest from five to ten
thousand dollars in the enterprise.
This shows how hunting and fish
ing may be made to help attract cap
ital as we'll as tourists to Vermont.

rule the farm boy makes good any
where Most men past the thirties
today own their farms. Land is
cheap and money easy, and any one
who cares to can have his own place
| if he chooses, provided that he is hon
est and willing to work.
The modern system of education
has done much to eliminate the farm
| boy from home and country life
/ OF course only the brighter minds
aspire to an education or college
course, and while occasionally boy
works his way through, and so
makes good, the soft handed lad
who spends his dads money is
done with manual labor as repre-
scented by farm life. Where one puts
in his younger years walking behind
/ the plough he is quite likely to be
averse to steady labor, like pitching

ings. All such gravitate to town
life as naturally as water runs
down hill
To those who have not these
chances the steady decline in pro-
duction of these old lands is likely
/ to discourage the best of them.
Many of these old farms have been
cropped until they will not pay for
the labor of ti1lage, and where the
young man puts in long days of
hard toll for little results he is likely
to throw up his job and look for
something that will return the cash
when the work is done. In my
first experience here, land that was
carefully titled and sown to buck
wheat failed to produce straw long
enough to cut, and a large acreage
of beans just paid expenses. The
boy from that farm is enjoying shop
life, while the aged owner hardly
makes living by letting fields to
other neighbors who are not wise

farms seem to take naturally to

ductive lands seem to like farm

Republicans Take Notice.

The Republican managers are
now beginning to count the politi-
cal cost if the case is not decided
in way to square with the opin-
ion of the country. Item.
The foregoing relates to the
Lorimer case. How many more
warnings does the republican party
need before it will be understood
that the stand-pat, reactionary wing
of the party must go to the rear
and the progressive element placed
in the front ranks to promote
those governmental policies that the
progressive spirit of the times de-
mand. There is a sentiment abroad
in the land, which transcends party
lines and all political considerations
which demands that this case of
Senator Lorimer be not settled on
technicalities.-Eno Standard.

Good Showing for Farming.

Victor H. Olmstead, chief of the
Bureau of Statistics in the Depart
ment of Agriculture, after making
an investigation, says: 1.-The value
of an acre of the farmers crops in
1909 was 1921 per cent more than
in 1899, and the cost of articles pur-
chased increased about 12.1 per
cent, the purchasing power of the
produce of / acre in 1909 was about
"a per cent greater than the pur-
chasing power of the produce of /
,acre in 1899. An acre of corn hav-
ing increased 1876 per cent in value,
its purchasing power increased so
per cent; an acre of wheat having
increased ia per cent, its purchas-
ing power has increased 81 per cent;
and an acre of cotton having in
creased 65.6 per cent, it's purchas-
ing power has increased about 48
per cent The farmer certainly
ought to prosper and get his sons
interested in farming under these
conditions.
