Fears Germans Are Not Popular.

Stuttgart Germany at the Shoreham last
night, but I am afraid Germans are not
very popular in this country" The young
nobleman is travelling in the United States
for pleasure. this being his second visit
here. He is a reserve officer OF the Ger
man army. and said that for this reason
he could not discuss matters pertaining
thereto or to the navy; nor would he
say anything concerning German politics.
THE reason I think Germans are not
popular in America is founded on the fact
that when I was in New York visited
a concert garden one evening with some
| friends. and while there our table neigh
bors, discovering that I was a German,
began to sing about the Dutch He was
very bhisterous, and used the word

The Fake Promoter.

With the revival Of business after the
panic of 1907. the get-rich-quick men
began TO advertise literally. and soon
It became apparent that they were doing
a fourishng trade True the Post-ofice
Department issued fraud orders. but the
men named in them changed their names
and addresses and put out more stocks.
State authorities, on the other hand, in
trying to check these bogus transactions
and to save the cash Of easy victims,
found that the only law on the statute
books by which these men could be
reached was to prove them guilty Of
false pretenses, a charge easy to evade,
for nothing is more difficult to prove
than fraud by intention The last an
nuaI report Of the Postmaster General
discusses this abuse of the mail privilege
and contains cry for help. Mr. Hitch
cock says:
"It is estimated that the eighty i'm
portant cases recently brought to a head
represent swindling operations that have
filched from the American people in
less than a decade fully a hundred mil
lion dollars. Not only have they swim
died many thousands of credulous peO-
pie out of money fOOlishlv invested, but
to a large extent they have shaken con-
fIdence in legitimate enterprises. The
stamping out OF these frauds IS, there
fore, as important to capitalists engaged
in lawful business undertakings as it
IS to investors
= Acting upon this suggestion, State
Senator Tinkham, OF Massachusetts, has
offered a bill in the general court OF
that Commonwealth dealing with this
subject radically. This is what his bill
provides:
"Any person who with intent to de-
fraud makes or publishes or causes to
be made or published in any way
whatever, or permits to be so made or
published, any book. prospectus. notice,
report, statement, exhibit, advertisement.
or other publication of or concerning the
affairs, financial condition, or property
of any corporation, Joint stock aSSocia-
ton, partnership, or individual, which
said book, prospectus, notice, report,
statement. exhibit, advertisement, or
other publication shall contain any state
ment which is false or wiIlfully exag-
gerated, and which shall have a tendency
to give a less or greater apparent value
TO the shares, bonds, property, or assets
OF said corporation, Joint stock aSSo-
ciation, partnership, or individual, or any
part Of said shares, bonds, property, or
assets, Than said shares, bonds. property,
or assets or any part thereof shall really
and in fact possess, shall be punished
by fine of not more than 5000, OF
by imprisonment for not more than ten
years, or by both such fine and imprison-
ment"
Brief as it is, the measure is effective
and closes many loopholes by which,
under State law, victimizers of the ig-
Dorant manage often to escape punish
ment Other States have taken similar
action recently. Nevada, for instance
seeks such a law, because, being a mining

MORE CORN, FEWER CRUISERS.
President of New York Central Road
Urges Education for Farmers.

IOE
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
President Brown, of the New York
Central Railroad, believes it would be
wiser to spend money from the Federal
Treasury in providing better education
for farmers than in building more battle
ships The farmer is about the hardest
worked man in the country, but heavy
percentage of his work is thrown away
because he does not know how to get the
best results out of the land he tills
Properly trained, the farmer would make
the farms doubly fruitful, and his ad-
vantage would be common advantage
Big crops are the nations largest asset.
Mr.. Brown is a strong advocate of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement He in
sists that in a few years we shall be
importers of wheat. and Canada will be
the near source of supply. It will inter
est practical farmers. who know to what
extent continuous wheat growing has di-
minished the fertility of lands in the
Western States. that Mr.. Brown thinks
we should grow more corn and less
wheat Wheat robs the soil, giving little
back. He declares it would be better if
much OF the land now devoted to that
crop throughout the corn belt could be
used for pasture and for raising corn.
which, in turn, should he fed to cattle
and hogs on the farm. There are many
farmers who are in thorough agreement
with this reasoning. They have aban-
doned competition with Western farmers
for furnishing the daily bread supply.
They find greater profit in the diversi-
fication Of their industry and in helping
to bring about such changes in our
tariff system as will cheaper those neCes-
saries of life which the farmer has to go

Death Turks in City Dust.

DR.. V. B. Shanafelt of Philadelphia,
who is at the New Ebbitt, said last
night that the smoke-laden atmosphere
Of Philadelphia is responsible for con-
siderable share of disease and nearly
per cent of the deaths OF that city.
Some of our people, who live in dis
tricts where there is more than the ordi-
nary amount of smoke. will have an
cxpeCtoration as black as ink he said.
"As a matter of fact, the average adult
dweller OF Philadelphia has as much coal
pigment in his lungs as the coal miner
who works in the heart of the mines.
But the condition of the city man is
worse than that of the mine worker, for
in addition to breathing in about as much
coal dust and smoke, he also breatheS in
the more dangerous particles of dust
from the street, the house, and the office,
which are laden with infectious germs
Particles Of ordinary sweepings from
public halls and buildings, introduced
into the blood of a guinea pig, will pro-
duce tuberculosis with absolute certainty.
Strange as it may seem, the dust par
ticles that we breathe in our homes are
more dangerous than those which come
from the street. Outside dust is more
distributed. 1t is subject to the steriliz-
ing influence of the suns rays, but inside
or house dust is never disinfeCted."

Texas Wants Settlers


Samuel W. Phillips, Of San Antonio.
Tex, who is at the Riggs, said last night
that Texas can support millions by its
agricultural resources.
Texas can find room for all Of the
surplus population of the North for many
years to come" said Mr.. Phillips. This
State contains almost 266,OOO square miles.
We could support a population Of $500
600 if Texas were populated as densely
as New York, of 80. 10000 If our ratio of
population TO area were the same as in
Massachusetts. Texas is bigger than the
German empire. which has about s.. 900 100
inhabitants. Land is cheap in Texas.
conditions are desirable, and there is
room for millions Of people.
1T is not many years since good Texas
land could be bought for ; cents an acre.
and later the price went to 3 cents Still
later the State sold millions OF acres
at the uniform price OF 81 an acre on
forty years time Only one-fortieth Of
the purchase price was paid down, and,
interest on the remainder was at the rate
Of per cent. As the State did not know
what TO do with such large sums, If paid
in lump, the ranchers merely paid in
terest, as rule, after the first charge
! of less than 3 cents an acre. To this
! day there are tracts of enormous size
| that never have been paid for.
"On account of our large acreage, the
amount of land under cultivation is com
| paratively small and values in many
| places are low. Texas is now importing
more forage than she grows. We have
many truck farmers, but they do not
supply more than One-third of what is
