John Murray Forbes, of Boston, who
died in the year 1898 at the age Of SO
years, was one of the most trusted OF
the advisers of President Lincoln, was
the creator Of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad, achieved fortune
as a merchant In the China trade be-
fore he was 40 years of age, and was
regarded by John A. Andrew, the
great war Governor of Massachusetts,
as the greatest intellectual force, at
least in the world of affairs, that New
England had produced.
Mr.. Forbes was Of invaluable assist
ance to the Federal Government In
many ways during the Civil War. lie
was the originator of the United States
Sanitary Commission, which did SO
much to alleviate the hardships and
sufferings of the Union soldiers. 1t has
long been known in inner government
circles that It was chiefly due to John
M. Forbes that Great Britain was per-
suaded to stop the sailing of the rams
which had been built in British ship
yards for service in the Confederate
navy, and would had they been permit
ted to go to sea, have destroyed the
navy of the United States, which was
Mr. Forbes was very warm per-
sonal friend of the late George S. Coe,
of New York, who was for many years
president of one of the leading banks
of the United States and who was the
banker who entertained the Secretary
of the Treasury, Salmon p. Chase,

early months of the Civil War to Sc

Forbes for assistance and wise coun-

the Civil War;" Mr. Coe said to me five
years before the death of Mr.. Forbes.
MIR. Forbes was fertile in resources
and expedients by means of which the
government would be able to borrow
the money it needed to carry on the
war. / will tell you little incident tC

THE RECALL.

ClAMUEL w. MCCALL, a veteran Congressman
- from Massachusetts,, in an article in the At
lantic Monthly mentions the fact that the initia-
tive and referendum and recall-the substitution of
direct government for representative govern
ment-is not new
The ancient Greeks knew all about il, says Mr.
Mccall The recall banished from Athens Aris-
tides a foremost citizen.
Athens won victory in battle, but the dissatis-
fed politicians persuaded the people that the vic
tory had not been won cheapy enough. Six of the
victorious generals we're recalled" and put to
death That was exercising the recall with ven
geance. But Athens didn't win any more victories.
They had a way of dealing summarily with pub
lie men in those days
But if the people dealt severely with the gen.
erals absolutsts were as cruel without the recall.

able to sell government bonds in any
large amount.
Mr.. Forbes answer was that ne
thought If the government would offer
bonds in denominations of one hundred
dollars an upwards, with a rate of in
terest fixed at such figure that even
a schoolboy could make the compu-
taiton in his head after a moments
thinking, then there would be no diff
Guilty about selling government bonds
TO the plain people. Hitherto, let me
explain, the face value of government
bonds had been one thousand dollars.
Secretary Chase was at once struck
with the plan and asked Mr.. Forbes
how he would arrange it.
1t is the simplest thing in the
world said Mr.. Forbes. Fix your In
terest rate at two cents a day on a
hundred dollars Any schoolboy can
figure that if 1t is two cents a day on
hundred dollars it will be seven
dollars and thirty cents year Then,
when you issue the bonds, call them
seven-thirties, and it's my opinion
they'll go like hot cakes
Secretary Chase Immediately rec
commended to Congress a loan of this
kind, received the authority of Con-
gress to issue it, and within month
after the loan was offered it was found
to be the most popular loan the gov
ernment had ever put into the market
Thousands of persons who had hun
dred dollars each to invest gladly

was talking about the seven-thirties.

WATERWAYS CONVENTION.

IF ENERGETIC persistence counts for anything
4 it should not be long before Congress pays SER
ious attention to the demands of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association for the construc-
ton of a deep water inland channel from Cape
Hatteras TO Boston Harbor.
The convention at Richmond last week unani-
mously adopted a resolution calling for immediate
action by Congress with that end In view.
The, resolution declares that the loss of 2,200
lives and 5000 vessels valued at S40OO00O0 could
have been prevented by such waterway while the
people would be relieved of great deal of the S.
O00OOOOO0 annually expended for transportation
Upon channel thus constructed nine-tenths of the
existing commerce along the Atlantic coast could
be conducted.
Delaware delegates took an active part in the
proceedings, and former Senator Higgins of this
city presided at one of the sessions.
The Chesapeake and Delaware canal would be
part of the system and this state is and has been
vitality interested in the progress of the movement.

them look at the matter of education

from now on visit the public schools

selves if the room is properly heated,
If it is properly ventilated, If the
child is not over crowded, that the
room Is clean, that the teacher knows
how to teach school, as we'll as how

will be better results in the rural

BOTTOM LANDS
Commercial Club Of Regent
Will Conduct Experimental
Farm

Regent, N. d., Sept. S.-The COM
mercial club Of this city has decided
to construct an irrigation project on
the bottom lands Of the Cannon Ball
river. adjoining town. They have
made arrangements for the lease of
about thirty acres of land and will
install a centrifugal pump with a
capacity Of fifteen hundred gallons
OF water per minute, raising the water
from the river with a gasoline trac-
ton, about twelve horsepower being
required for the work.
State Engineer Atkinson recently
laid out the bitches and advised the
immediate installation of the pump
and the irrigation of the land in the
latter part of October or the first of
November, as in his judgment, il the
land is filled with water this fall it
will be In much better condition for
breaking and seeding In the early
spring.
The land on which the irrigation
will be done Is all unbroken prairie,
and the irrigation demonstration
which will be shown will be very val
liable to the farmers Of the county
and to everyone along the Cannon
Ball river, and will show fully the
great benefits to be derived by using
irrigation water on the land wherever
it is possible to do so.
1t Is the intention Of the CONNER
cial club to make one of their men,
bers manager Of the proposition, and
through hi instruct account will be
kept of the cost to deliver the water
IN the land and the profit per acre.
A considerable portion of this irri-
gated land will be seeded to flax which
will be cultivated in the same manner
as the irrigated land with the excep-
ton that no water will be applied.
This will demonstrate very fully the
difference in yield between the irri-
gated and non-irrigated land; they
will have very valuable information
to give to the farmers along the en-
tire Cannon Ball country.
In addition to the fax which will
be seeded there will be a few acres
put into potatoes. some Of which will
be irrigated and some non-irrigated.
They will also seed about one acre of
garden truck. so that a complete dem
onstration farm will be carried on
for the next few years.
State Engineer Atkinson is very
confident that from this first years
crop the commercial club will receive
sufficient returns to not only pay the
cost of the development project but
q good profit besides.
