ment is going to do anything for
the old soldier it is about time.
In ten years more a soldier of the
civil war will be a curiosity.
His last days should be made
cheerful and full of comfort.
But, some day that the passage
of more liberal pension laws
would give pensions to men who
not deserving. For the sake of
argument we will admit this,
but would it not be far more HUI
name to err in that direction
than to make a worse mistake
by denying pensions to the thou
sands who are actually deserving?
The senator's who voted to kill
the pension bill which would
give more of the necessaries of
life to the old soldiers in order to
save some little pet appropria-
ton which might give them more
votes in some favored locality
should go home and stay with
their shame. How can they look
an old soldier in the face? How
can they explain to the old soldier
why they voted against helping
him out in his declining years?
But Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts killed the bill. He said
the United States could not stand
the expense incident to increas-
ing the pensions, although it
would not have meant more than
thirty millions a year for a few
years, and as there are rules in
the Senate which permit of fill
clustering and time killing, Sem
ator Lodge got in his work, and
the chance of the old comrade
getting any relief from this con-
gress is gone.

Red Tape--PenSiOns

The Snlloway pension bill has
been killed BY a lot of senators
who were afraid some pet part
of the big appropriation bill
would be cut out unless the PEN
sion bill could be sidetracked, so
they agreed to the sidetracking
of a just measure to get a meas
ure through which is always
very largely unjust. The apprO-
priatiou bills passed by congress
are largely graft, but then, you
know, the pets must be taken
care of, and it would seem that
the old soldier is not a pet of the
government any more. Time
was when he was very necessary,
but Il seems as his days are num-
bered he Is not a necessary ad-
junct to the government any
longer. When III: country was
in danger the soldier was called
on and he respOnded-not for
thirteen dollars dlmouth, bat be-
cause his country needed him.

Land SpeCuIatOr and
Good Farming.

II
a renter thanks as for what W,
have said to help renters, bu
wants to know why we do no
get after the land speculator
or, as he puts it, zone who il
driving the renter from one farm
to another every year."
How we wish we could settle
this land speculatorl He is nc
possible good to agriculture, but
a damage.
We do not mean by this the far
mer who buys a farm for a home
with the hope, and we might
say the positive assurance that
it will rise in value, if bought
cheap enough, and in this way
make him as much money every
year as he can possibly make by
farming it. We are speaking of
the man who lives generally in
town, though sometimes in the
country, who believes that land
is going to advance, and buys
land not mainly for farming but
for the advance for speculation.
Like the speculator in improved
stock, that fellow does no good
to agriculture, but always harm.
If he succeeds, he simply loads
up the fellow who farms it in
the future with a big invest
ment. He is simply working
for the unearned increment.
This condemnation of specula-
tors, however, should not be too
sweeping, for there are specula-
tors and spectators. There are
spectators who buy farms, rent
them on long leases to good men,
and are wise enough to improve
them properly and maintain the
fertility; but the average specu-I
lator does nothing of the kind.
He does not spend a cent on inn
provements that he can help, be-
lieving that he will never get
pay for them. He rents on one
year leases, makes the hardest
possible bargain he can with his
tenant. He puts money in his
own pocket, but there is not an
altruistic hair on his head. He
gets all that he possibly can out
of the tenant. makes his invest.
ment as small as possible, and
sells for as high a price as he |
can possibly get.
We can not stop him from this, |
nor can public opinion stop him.
He will keep on until he sees no
more speculation in buying land.
Then he will stop; and when
he does there will be a very great
in agriculture. All
that we can do is to advise ten
ants not to farm on a SPECTATORS
land, if they can possibly help
it. Rent of a landlord who has
a long vision for the future, who
is wise enough to see that the
real benefit lies in maintaining
the fertility of the land and in
making such improvements as
will justify a good tenant in
on the farm.
ALI that we have said about
speculation in the corn belt is
more than true of speculation
outside the corp belt. Specula-
ton in new lands, however profit
able it may be to the SPECTATOR
who makes no improvements,
simply loads up the man who
farms it in the future with a big
ger investment, and makes it
all the harder for him. There
is plenty of money in it, we
know, and that's the reason why
so many men speculate in land.
By and BY we will get settled
down and begin to study how
best to develop the resources Of
the country, wherever the land

Toxic, Japan.-The notorious Yo-
sAiwari, the principal quarter of Toxic
Inhabited by the licensed hetairae, was
Destroyed by fire. Many Of these hous-
es were almost palatial in appearance,
and a thousand of them were burned
In a little more than three hours. Six
thousand female inmates were rem.
dered homeless.
The Yoshiwari is conducted under
government licenses, which provide
for the establishment of hospitals, and
several of these institutions also we're
burned. The fire spread over a vast
area. 1t was famed by a strong
southern wind, and the flames were
swept to he surrounding structures to
the north. Altogether it is estimated
that 5000 houses are in ruins, cover
ing an area approximately four square
miles.
A large number of women were Sc
verify injured, but SO far as is known
no deaths have occurred. Five hun
dred troops are guarding the territory.
When the wind died down on the clear

Toxic were ablaze from the glowing
embers. 1t is impossible at present to
estimate the total loss.
The world-famed Yoshiwari lies
about one mile to the north of Asakusa

tacle probably unparalleled in any 9TH
er country, but reproduced on a small
err scale in the propincial Japanese
cities, with it's gorgeous structures,
guarded by iron bars. directly on the
street line, and it's thousands of gaily
bedecked residents.
This whole quarter is under special
municipal surveillance, with the result
that at all times perfect order pre-
vailed, enabling strangers to observe,
while walking through the streets, the
n in which the Japanese have
solved, in their own manner, n Of
the vexed questions of all ages.
During recent years several serious
fires have occurred in Japan. In Au-
gust, 1907, a conf1agration at Hako-
date destroyed 1900 houses, with an
estimated loss of about ST., 100000. In
March of the following a fire at
Noda Soy, near Toxic, destroyed 400
houses, the damage being $4,000, 900,
and a few days later 1000 houses were
burned at Nygata.

havana, h driving OF
the last few interlocking steel piles
OF the last of the 20 caissons forming
the enclosing wall of the huge basin
or cofferdam surrounding the wreck of
the Maine, the first stage in the great
work of exposing and ultimately re-
moving the shattered remains of the
hattleship sunk in the harbor of Ha-
yana on the night Of Feb. Is, 1898, has
just been brought to a successful con-
olusion.
The work was accomplished with a
rapidity fully up to the most san
guine expectations Of the army engi-
neers in charge, and its progress was
unmarked by a single mishap or hitch
until the introduction of the final pile,
which failed to interlock properly
with those on either side. This gave
rise to a rumor that the stability Of
the caisson was endangered, but the
replacing Of three piles served to re-
pair the damage.
The second stage of the work, that
Of filling the caissons with Oud, clay
and rock dredged from the harbor
bottom, has been going on for some
time, and, now that the ring of the
caissons Is completed, is being pushed
forward with the utmost rapidity. The
steam dredge Norman Davis, loaned
to the government by the Huston.
Trumbo Dredging company, and the
United States army dredge Barnard"
are dumping hundreds of tons of ma.
terial into the caissOns, the work 60
ing on as it has from the beginning,
night and day.
1t is expected that the filling of tho
caissons will be completed by the end
of April, and after that the second and
most interesting stage Of the work
that of pumping out the great basin
and leaving exposed the hull of the
%battleship in precisely the condition
she was on the morning after her de-
%struction 13 years ago-will be pro-
ceeded with.
AS soon as the wreck is fully ex.
posed, the work of exploration in
search of human remains will take
precedence of every other ~considera-
ton. 1t is practically certain that
when this stage of the work is reached
a United States man-of-war will be or
dered to Havana and will lie close to
the wreck to receive the bodies.
After that will come an exhaustive
scrutiny of the shattered wreck by ex.
perts who, in the opinion of engineer
officers, will be able to determine be-
yond all future question precisely the
character of the agency whereby the
destruction of the Maine was effected.
Probably many months will lapse
before the final stage of the work
the extraction and disposition of the
wreck-will be begun. So far, the
plans are merely tentative, everything
depending on what the condition Of
the wreck proves to be.
