KitChin Doesn't Want Democrats to As.
SiSt Taft.

Representative Claude Kitchin, of
North Carolina, who will be one of
the Democratic members of the ways
and means committee in the next
House, gets rufi1ed every time he
even thinks Of legislators in his party
being willing to help President Taft
and the Republicans in Congress to
enlarge the duties of the tariff board.
Mr.. Kitchin says that when he
first found that Representative
Champ Clark had voted for the bill
relating to the board he was SO sur.
prised and upset over the informa-
ton that he felt like resigning his
seat in the House.
81 thought" he went on to ex.
plain, "that if prominent Democrats
were beginning to favor any such
scheme as that there was little, il
any, hope in the near future for reaI
tariff reform in this country. Any.
thing that Speaker Cannon, Presi
dent Taft, would advocate in refer.
ence to the tariff should not, in my
opinion, be endorsed in the slightest
degree by Democrats.
| Mr.. Kitchin insists that Presiden1
Taft's tariff board, which will really
be composed Of nothing but protec
tionists, will necessarily be under
the domination of higher power!
whose sympathies and antecedent'
are all antagonistic to Democratic
policies. and that no Democratic
Senator or Representative should
either directly or indirectly give hi
support to this administration
measures.
Claude Kitchin is generally recog
nized as one of the strongest debat
ers on the Democratic side of tn
House. His speech on the tariff
during the extra session in whicl
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law wa
passed was given wide circulation il
the campaign Of last year, for it wa
considered one of the most convinc
ing arguments against the Republi
can so-called revision that wer
made during that memorable strug

OUR DEPOPULATED FARMS.

This decline in rural population is
very far from being due to a lack of
prosperity. On the contrary ,ssays E.
Dana Durand in the Worlds Work for
January, the agricultural statistics col
lected by the census bureau show an
enormous increase in the value of
farm property in this great territory
since 1900, and show also that the
yield of the principal crops was at
least as great in 1909 as in 1899 and
the value of that yield far greater.
Particularly remarkable are the
agricultural statistics for Iowa in COM
parison with the population statistics.
| Despite a considerable decrease in the
rural opulation. the value OF farms
| (including buildings) increased during
the ten years no less than lib per
cent. The average value of farm land
per acre increased about two and one
third times during this short period.
| Every one knows that the farmers in
| this north central section have been
growing rich, that their homes are
more comfortable, and that they have
more conveniences than ever before.
Why, then, is the rural population de-
creasing?
Perhaps it may be that this very
prosperity OF the farmers accounts Tor
the decline in population. With the
| higher prices which they have re-
ceived for their products. they could
afford to buy better machinery, which
reduced the need for labor. Again, it
is likely that many farmers have felt
unwilling to divide up their land
among their sons; instead they have
| been able, by reason of their prosper
ity, to send their sons to newly opened
agricultural territory in the west or
4 southwest, or Canada, and furnish
them the means to start for them
selves on a larger scale than would
| have been possible at home

THE WEATHER..

-''Why not write a piece about the
weather we've been having of late?"
Suggested /. friend an hour or so ago
in that naive sort of a way that is
conclusive proof he would walk off
with the championship honors in the
cheerful idiot class. Why not write
a piece about the weather, indeed :?
OF what will it avail to say anything
about the weather except to waste a
few words. Nothing that might be said
will influence either the weather man
or the gas man. They will continue
to pursue the uneven tenor of their
ways regardless of anything in the
shape of words that might be directed
at them.
so why even waste words on the
weather? Why emphasize it; disagree
able conditions by mentioning them
Why regard the weather at all? 1t
will be what it will be- Although
maybe it is not what it is. For there
are some people who insist that every
thing is a creature of the imagination.
Maybe there isn't any cold weather at
all. Perha ps the many and divers
atoms of humanity in this particular
portion of the mundane world are the
victims of hallucinations Maybe it
hasn't been cold at all. It's possible
that the atmosphere is baInly like it
is around the latter part of May or
the first of June. 1t may be that these
seemingly chilling blasts of wind are
in reality like the gentle zephyrs
which watt this way in the spring.
Perhaps the suns rays are just as Wig
orously warm as they are when the
corn is ripening.
Indeed, there is just a chance that
almost everybody is agreed that it is
cold and has been terribly cold mere
1y because this is the season of the.
year when the calendars. the astro-
nomical experts and the goose bone
weather prophets insist that there
should be winter weather. Wouldn't
it be a great joke on the common
herd if this should turn out to be the
case? But it will be more difficult
work than ever to convince them of
such a possibility when the bills be-
gin to come in from the plumber for
thawing out frozen water pipes, and
from the coal man for nob1y rushing
in and doing his duty in providing a
substitute for that tickle thing which
travels under the name of natural gas.
Then there will be a rude awak-
ening. The bitter, the unpalat-
able truth will be forced home that
during the opening days of the new
year 1911 some cold weather with
memorable and almost fearful charac-
teristics made it's appearance. But it
won't do any good to find fault with
the weather now. Nor will it do any
good to find fault with it at any time.
So grin and bear it.
