Madero is the first dreamer to have

believing rather in 8 slow process OF
reform in educating a generally igno-

system whereby the people may be ed

in many theories, but is not radical in
any. AS instance. Madero does not

Farmers Save a Railroad.

A small Iowa railroad needed $l25,-
600 to stave off financial ruin. The
president did not go to Wall street,
or to any other money center for aid,
perhaps, because he knew he could not
get it. He turned to a little group of
farmers in a section Of Audubon and
Cass counties, Iowa and got the help.
one hundred Danish farmers raised the
$4,000.
That is not great amount Of
money for 100 men to raise and their
raising It for this purpose, probably,
will promote their own interests in
the end. But just the same the Incl
dent shows that all the farmers of
Iowa are not losing money; are not
without money or sound credit. its
equivalent. An agricultural expert re-
Gently said that but for the farmer
boys the average Iowa farmer would go
broke paying wages. He also said that
conditions are so adverse that the aver
age tenant farmer in that state ac-
tually loses about $500 a year His
conclusions we're based upon the steady
rise in land and labor prices without
corresponding advance in prices of
commodities Land prices have, to be
sure, been steadily rising In Iowa for
ten years; in some instances they
have doubled. One result OF this is a
smaller number of husbandmen and a
diminished population. Young men,
unable TO buy this splendid. high
priced land, have sought cheaper soil
farther west.

erent testers for 10, these many years.
He tolls from early morn till dewy

and putteth new gaskets on defective
connections. Broken unions to him
are as childs' play, and the pipe-tongs
and the thread-cutters are in his hand
always. He useth solder as il it were
more precious than gold, yea, more
precious than much fine gold, and he
chargeth for it on his bill as IL it we're

and goeth under the sink to clean out
the same. OF his coming and going

1t is Hills Move Now.

The decision OF the Hartman lines
to expend 100000 in double tracks
within the next five years is but one
step in their aggressive fight for con-
quest Of the far west, the territory
which has long been the battle ground
of Hill and Hartman interests. Now,
the question arises what will Mr.. Hill
do? The Wall Street Journal inclines
to the belief that ne may disregard,
or seem to disregard this latest chal-
lenge from his rival gladiator for the
present and devote his time to recoup-
ing and mobilizing his forces. But that
James ]. Hill, or those who are to sue
coed him. will ultimately answer the
Hartman challenge cannot be doubted
unless one commits himself to the
strange notion that this old Titan is to
surrender and retreat under fire.
Even before the death of Mr.. Har-
riman these rival interests had shot
connecting lines into each others ter
ritory, but Hartman gained an ad-
vantage when he managed to hook up
with Seattle, Hills erstwhile exclusive
terminus, for Hill has not yet gone
into San Francisco, unless, indeed, we
have to believe the story of his alliance
with Gould in extending the Western
Pacific into this Hartman metropolis
at the Golden Gate. The Great North
ern and Northern Pacific are not seri-
ously menaced by this advance of the
Union and Southern Pacific. They
have expended millions In extensions
and betterments and have been build
ing up their tributary country, thus in
creasing their sources OF revenue. Dur
ing the recent panic, which began in
1907. MIR. Hin built $50 miles OF
Northern Pacific at a cost of $780,
900 and each year since he has kept
up his Improvement campaign.
OF course, should this action on the
part of the Hartman people lead to an
aggressive building program by the
Hills, then We may expect to see a
renewal Of the battle for reaching each
others terminals up and down the
coast. In the meantime the west will
be reaping valuable results from the

Fruits of the Land Show.

The practical results of the Omaha
Land show, recently conducted by The
Bee and The Twentieth Century
Farmer management, are early being
shown. One of the facts demon
strated during the exposition is that
Omaha is an excellent center for the
marketing of farm lands. In recogni-
ton of this fact seven great land
dealing companies have opened head
quarters in this city and are directing
aggressive campaigns from here. Ne
braska real estate dealers should be
guided in their action by the action of
these others. Nebraska still has many
acres of fertile soil unoccupied and it
offers as much attraction to the settler
as do the newer sections of the west
But Nebraska has not been so sys-
tematically and generously exploited
as have these other sections. 1t be-
hooves the dealers in Nebraska land
to get busy if they are going to share
with the others in the tide of immigra-
tion during the coming months.
