was 20,011,0O acres, as compared
with 20,342NO0 in 1900, loss OF 3d.
600 acres, or per cent. A decrease
of considerably more than 100000
acres is recorded in the farm acreage
in counties in the mountainous part of
the state where much woodland and
other unimproved land reported as
in farms in 1900 was not so reported
in 1900. These decreases were Offset
to some extent by important increases
in other sections of the state.
More improved Land.
The improved acreage was returned
in 1910 was SO, as against 81 in 1900,
acres, as against 10,246,O00 in 1900, an
increase of $4,000, or per cent.
The improved acreage formed "a
per cent of the total acreage in 1910
and 80 per cent in 1900.
The average acres per farm reported
in 1910 was SO, as againsa 81 in 1900,
a decrease of acres, or 10 per cent.
This decrease is due to the disap-
pearance of more than 5000 farms
exceeding 100 acres in size, the de-
crease of SS1, 900 acres of farm land
accompanied by an increase Of nearly
$1,000 new farms.
The average value per acre of farm
land and buildings in 1910 is stated
as $2397, as against $13.O3 in 1900,
rise of $10.94, or "a per cent.
The average value per acre of farm
land alone in 1910 was reported as
$1S.53, while in 1900 it was 1898, the
amount of gain being $500, or 81 per
cent.
Color of Farmers.
OF the whole number, 245,509, of
farms reported in 1910, there were
2O7 ,260, or "a per cent operated by
white farmers, and 3S,249, or 16 per
cent, by Negro and other non-white
farmers as compared with the total of
1923 in 1900, of which 190,72S or S5
per cent. were conducted by white
farmers, and 1886, or 15 per cent by
Negro and other non-white. The in
crease in the number of white farm
ers during the decade amounted to
1852 and in the number of farms of
Negro and other non-white farmers to
1854.

SEN. SUTHERlAND'S
GREAT SPEECH

The power Of recall, 1t is seen, in
cludes all officials-legislative, execu.
tive and judicial. Attempts have been
made to show that the recall is not
a new thing in this country, and we
are referred to Article v Of the Ar.
ticles Of Confederation, which re.
served to each state the power to re-
call its delegates at any time within
the year for which they were appoint.
ed and to send others in their place
for the remainder of the year. Pass
ing by the distinction between an of.
ficer elected by the people and a
mere delegate appointed by a state
to represent its interests in what
was little more than a general con-
vention, 1t is sufficient to say that
the whole scheme of the Confedera
ton was found to be so utterly inef
fective that 1t was abandoned at the
end Of few years, and the enduring
National Government which we now
have put into its place. The trainers
OF the Federal Constitution as an un.
wise precedent to follow, and 1t found
no place in that great instrument, as
for more than 100 years the ballot
box recall found no place in the plan
OF government Of any state.
The inevitable tendency Of the re.
call will be to give us set of weak
and spineless executive and legisla.
tive officials, no longer having the
courage or the inclination to act up
on their own initiative and RESPONSE
bility, but with their ears always to
the ground to catch the first indica-
ton of the popular drift in order to
anticipate it. They will soon cease to
distinguish between the settled, de-
liberate judgment Of the people to
which they should yield a willing
obedience, and the passing within of
the moment, against which the ulti-
mate best good of society may de-
mand the assertion of sturdy OPP
position. Such provision, firmly
believe, is more likely to result in
the recall of good officials than OF
bad ones, because the time-serving,
INSCRIPTIONS politician will be swift
to conform his action to every shift
ing opinion of his constituents, while
the official Of honesty and integrity
and courage, who prefers his duty
to his office, will stand for what he
believes to be right and sound and
wise, even though for the time being
he may stand alone. 1t has happened
very often that the governor of a
state or the mayor of a city has in.
CURED the violent opposition of a
temporary majority by the announce
ment of policy which, when put in.
to operation, has been found to work
to the advantage and upbuilding Of
the community. With the recall In ex.
istence, such an officer would have
been swept out of office in response
to spasmodic impulse, afterwards
found to be wholly unwarranted. II is
far better in the long run that our
public officials be permitted to serve
out the short terms for which they
are elected, unless they so conduct
themselves to become amenable to
removal by impeachment or by i'm
prisonment under specific provisions
of law.

nation and disapproval of It.
The Senator from Oregon-not the
father of the composite citizen" but
the juior senator. Mr.. Chamberlain
In his speech of April II last, asks:
But as an abstract proposition,
why should judicial officer be In.
dependent of the wishes of his con.
stituents?"
All, Mr.. President. much of the vice
and fallacy of the argument for the
right to recall judges rests in this
assumption that the Judge. like a
congressman or legislator. repre-
sents constituency. What is con.
stituent? He is a person for whom an
other acts. A constituent implies as
a necessary corollary. a representa-
tive who speaks for him. A Judge has
no constituents; he is only in a re.
stricted sense a representative officer
at all. The people who elect him can
with propriety make known their
wishes only thorugh the laws which
they enact. The Judge is the mouth
piece OF the law. His constituents are
the statutes duly made and provided.
If his decisions are wrong, the rem
edy is to appeal to a higher court
not to the people. The scales of JUS
tice must hang level or there is an
end of justice. The recall puts into
the scale, upon one side or the 9th.
er, in every case where strong public
feeling exists, the artificially induced
anxiety of the Judge for the retention
of his place. Bound by all the sacred
traditions of his office to decide i'm
partially between the parties accord
ing to the law and the evidence. he
begins the discharge of his high du
ties with a personal interest in his
own decision.
The judge represents no constitu
ents, speaks for no policy save the
public policy of the law. If he be not
utterly forsworn, he must at all haz
ards put the rights of single indi
vidual above the wishes of all the
people. He has no master but the
compelling force of his own consci
ence. Every circumstance which dim
inshes his independence and his cour
age, which closes his ears to the
righteousness of the cause and opens
them to the voice of clamor, make fol
injustice.
If charged with incompetency, dis
! honesty, or corruption, common fair
ness demands that he should be tried
in the open before an impartion tri
bunal, where he may be heard, not
with a limitation of 200 words upon
his defense, but in full, and where he
may face his accusers and test the
truth of their accusations by those
orderly methods of procedure which
the experience OF centuries has de
monstrated are essential to the as
certainment OF truth. But the recall
institutes a tribunal where everybody
decides and nobody is responsible
where at least 25 per cent Of the
membership have already, as the
judges accusers, prejudiced his case
and from whose arbitrary and un
Just findings there is no appeal. II
