the farmer may prefer.
ITO this end l advocate that the
government provide an immigration
land fund to be placed under the
care and direction of the secretary
of the interior. That he shall in
conjunction with the immigration
bureau inaugurate such machinery
as is needful to select and determine
as to frugal and worthy immigrant
farmers Those farmers who shall
choose irrigated lands shall be
placed under the care of the reclama-
ton service, and those who desire
to locate on dry lands shall be under
the care of the secretary of agricul-
ture, for arranging their settlement
upon the lands chosen.
Il expect that some proper ar
rangement could be made by. our gov
eminent with the governments abroad
SO that those farmers who purpose
coming to the states could have their
standing vizied by some proper Of
fetal in the country of their nativ-
ity. This immigration land fund
should be revolving in character; of
reasonable size at the outset and
suitably enlarged as time matured
and the plan was discovered as en-
inently wise. l trust that the Of
ficers of the nineteenth national irri-
cation congress converting in Chicago
in December next will give all posi-

In the midst of his coy hot fire,

And his eyes filled up with hot tears,
So he took down his ledger and tur-

Dated back about six thousand years

through his book,
I am doing the best that can,
For my business shows a gradual in
crease
Ever since the creation of man.
I've cribbed rich harvest for six
thousand years,
And should be content with the weld,
And give my opponent permission
to get
me cleaning I've left on the field.
I've gathered a very diversified crop
Of merchants and farmers galore,
I've bound politicians in bundles
until
My fingers are everyone sore
I've doctors, and gamblers and insur-
ance men,
I've murderers, forgers and liars,
I've filled up the furnace with the

Till they have actually put out the

UNIVERSAL UNREST.

Not for many years in the history
such a universal unrest among the
nations of the earth, and such a ten
dency to engage in war. Revolution
is going on in various quarters of the
globe, and if it is not attended with
blOOdshed, it is revolution of peace
with the end in view of evolving high
er and better social and civic forms.
In China the rebels are fighting to
overthrow the Manchu dynasty and
establish a republic. Here at least
is good per cent of the people seek
ing to abolish an Imperialism dating
far back into antiquity, and in its
stead erect a government which will
give a wider recognition of human
rights. No nation on earth has been
bound to it's traditions and it's ancient
forms to greater extent than China.
but the rebels, the prOgressives in
Il word, are trying to catch step with
the worlds onward movement and
break away from the old order of
things.
In Japan within recent years the
government has been pOpularized to
q great extent, the nation has become
prosperous and progressive, all ac-
c0mpEsh with but little bloodshed
The revolt of the royalists against
the republic in Portugal was of short
duration anc came to naught. The
young Turks in the Ottoman Empire
are trying to do away with the
ancient despotism and put the nation
in the progressive column Their eff
forts in time will bear fruit. Such eff
forts always have if properly directed
In our own country revolution,
peaceful revolution is taking place.
1t is in the direction of giving the
people the particulars in the affairs
of the government contemplated by
the founders of the republic. The
tendency to bring the government
closer to the people and give them a
more active part in it's administration
is found throughout the country.

DAMS SIN OF OMISSION.

Alderman J. F. DonOhue of Wilkes
barre, Pa, held Daniel Reardon under
bail to keep the peace because he did
not kiss Mrs. Mary Burke, a neigh
Dor.
Mrs. Burke then had him arrested
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
Alderman Donohue asked Reardon if
he had kissed Mrs. Burke, and when
he said he had been unsuccessful, the
Alderman gave one of his timely lee
lures.
He said: ''Reardon, all members
of the female sex, from their infancy
up, like to be kissed Oscillation is
one of the necessities of life. 1t is
the beginning of love; it is the stamp
of devotion | do not consider you a
gallant in having asked this woman
for a kiss and then not taking it,
have found through experience that
old women as well as young like to
be kissed. 1t rejuvenates the old and
makes the young take an interest in
life. When you asked this woman
for kiss, why did you not quicker
up your lips to show your sincerity
at least?
For your lack of gallantry in not
kissing, | will hold you under bail to
keep the peace and order you to pay
the costs of the prosecution or serve

"Carrying Goals to NEWCASTLE"

A carload of long staple cotton,
the first shipment of it's kind ever
consigned to a New Orleans factor
will arrive here via the Southern Pa
cific railroad during the latter part
of this week. 1t comes from Ell Cen
trO, Cal, one of the neWly-settled por-
tons of the far-famed Imperial val
ley, and is the first carload of Cali
fOrnia cotton ever sent to this market.
The shipment attracted considerable
notice among railway men, as bring
ing cotton to Louisiana is something
in the nature of carrying Goals to
Newcastle" especially when it is
brought from distance of more than
1000 miles. The samples of the cot
ton received here by H. r. Gould, the
factor who made the purchase, are
said to be superior to anything
brought here in long time The I'm

Will be very heavy, and it is more

HERE'S A SURE THING.

Should Uncle Sam attempt to write
prospectus concerning his property
he could confine himself strictly to
facts and yet exceed the widest
statements of the imaginative writ
ers of promotion literature 1t may
be. that in a short time as a few
thousand years the natural resources
of the country will be exhausted,
but many of us will be dead by
that time and unable to say that
Uncle Sam had claimed perma-
not proved true. 1t is refreshing oc-
casionally to review some of the
actual facts. The following figures
are taken from one of the latest bull
letins of statistics at Washington:
The area of the continental Uni
ted States was S43,255 square miles
in 1880, advancing to 1874, $50 square
miles in 1910; to 2,995,536 square
miles in 1850; and 3,026,7S9 square
miles in 1853, since which date no
change in area is shown. The popu-
lation, which was five and one-third
millions in 1900, was ninety-three and
three-fOurth millions in 1911. Pub
lie debt, which was eighty three mil
lion dollars in 1900, reached two
thousand six hundred and seventy
five million dollars less cash in
treasury in 1865, the figures of 1911
being one thousand and fifteen mil
liam dollars. The per capita debt,
which was $15.03 in 1900 and in
1865 was $76.98, is in 1911, $10S3
The interest charge per capita, which
amounted to sixty-four cents in 1900
and $4.12 in 1866, was in 1911 only
twenty-three cents; and the total an
nual interest charge, which was in
1866 one hundred and forty-six mil
lion dollars, was in 1911 twenty-One
and one-third million dollars. Money
in circulation, stated as twenty-six
and one-half million dollars in 1900,
per capita circulation, which was in
1900 $4.99, was in 1911 $34.35. De-
pOsits in all banks in the country
cannot be shown earlier than in
1920, at which time they are set
down as a little over two billion dol
lars, and in 1910 they were over fiji
teen billion dollars. The number of
depositors in the savings banks in
1920, the earliest year for which fig
ures can be shown, was a little less
than nine thousand, and in 1910 over
nine million. Government receipts,
which amounted to $2.04 per capita
in 1900, were in 1866 $14.65, and in
1911 $745, or about one-half what
they We're in 1866. Exports of do
mestic merchandise, which amount
ed to thirty-two million dollars in
value in 1900, were over two billion
dollars in 1911; and imports, which
