How little power the King of
England really has, outside of senti-
ment is shown IN the capitulation the
House of Lords to the demands OF the
Commons. The King is the head OF
the English nobility, yet is powerless
to save them from virtual reduction
TO a secondary position. It is one OF
the greatest achievements for popular
government which over took place in
England or in Europe. The Lloyd.
George budget, with it's radical
changes in the fiscal system making
taxation more equitable, was the rock
1pon which the Lords drove to de-
sIruction. They rejected it. and the
people, rejected them. The con-
sequences to England and to the world
are momentous. We boast of our
great advance IN many lines in this
country, yet many OF the reforms in
practical operation in European coun.
tries in Australia and New Zealand,
would seem almost revolutionary here.
Indications are however, that we will
not long lag behind. The demand fol-
reform is too strong to be ignored OF
set aside. It will come and we will
move along side on: progressive
brothers throughout the world and sur
pass what they have done.

Startino the Stoned,


One day an old farmer borrowed
mule from his neighbor. After he had
finished his work he sent his fourteen.
year-old boy to take it home. The boy
had gone about half mile when the
mule stopped and positively refused
to go any further. After the boy had
almost pulled his arms off trying to
get him to go an old doctor came along
and asked, '''Why, my son, what is the
matter with your mule?"
"Why, sir, can't you see, he has
balkedv' cried the boy.
"Well,'' said the old man, opening
his case and taking out a bottle la
beled carbolic acid, "we'n see what we
can do for him." and he poured some
Of the acid on the mules back, and in
much less time than it takes to write
1t the mule was galloping down the
road at a rate he had never gone be-
fore.
The boy looked up in surprise and
said, Doctor, have you got any more
Of that stuff"
eyes," answered the man.
swell, doctor, are you sure you have
got whole lot more of it?' he asked.
Il think I have plenty. What did
you want to know for?" he asked, with
q smile.
"Well, wish you would pour some
on me, doctor, for I've got to catch
that mule" answered the boy.-Nation-

TARIFF REVISION INEVITABLE.
The truth is that the people OF the
United States are determined to revise
the tariff. The more swiftly they pro-
ceed the better it will be for all in
terests concerned. Tariff boards can
be useful in their modest statistical
way, but they are OF only slight conse-
quence In an emergency like that
which now exists As these pages
have more than once set forth, the
tariff commission method is Repub.
lican proposal rather than a Demo.
cratic. and It presupposes gradual,
scientific reduction of duties from the
standpoint of the republican protec-
zionist policy. The republicans held
out this olive branch to the voters of the
country last fall, and the voter re-
jected it with an emphasis that could
hardly be mistaken except by those of
dull wit. The people Of the country
believe that there is quite enough in
formation about the production and
cost of wood and wooden goods to
justify tariff action. There are very
few people who believe that as matters
now stand the tariff board,-with its
statistical tables which are to be held
in reserve until next December, could
affect thu course of practical legisla-
ton or divert the current Of public
opinion, as respects the wool tariff

1t is generally admitted that Mime
sofa is far behind its sister state of
Wisconsin in practical, constructive
is not controlled or exploited by inter-
ests and their political following. Of
course the interests and their myrmi-
dons are in Wisconsin,, as they are
everywhere, but they have not been
able to prevent beneficial legislation
from being enacted and enforced. What
a contrast to our North Star state
And why is it? Because some twenty
years ago the powers in control in this
state received a shock and scare in the
growth of reform movements, and
cunningly seized the opportunity to
save themselves by the enactment of
pseudo-reform Legislation, laws pre-
tending to eradicate certain evils. but
which we're really fakes. They were
thus able to roll back the tide and de.
ceive the people with their pretenses.
Wisconsin did not get so severe q
shock, nothing was done, and the bur-
dens finally became so intolerable that
the people revolted, and this explains
why Wisconsin, which fifteen years
ago was much more hopelessly boss
ridden and in the hands Of gangster
politicians than Minnesota, is today as
far in advance. iaFollette had more
to do with putting Wisconsin on its
proud emlnence than any other man.
It is nearly time for Minnesota to pro-
duce LaFollette. The people would
not care much where he comes from,
or what he calls himself How long,
Oh Lord, how long.

:. Swat the Fly,

(. @
g.. I Hubby, do the same as She
Swat the fly. s.>
Riddles, like your parents act,
Lest with switches you be whacked
For your woeful lack Of tact
: Swat the fly! ,''
The common housefy, It has been
discovered, is one of the most perilous
pests to which civilized man is sub
jected. The fly is not merely a null
sance: it is a distributor of disease
germs and thereby a slayer Of man.
kind. Flies alight in and walk through
all kinds of filth, which adheres to
their feet and legs. They carry it away
and deposit it upon food, both the raw
and exposed materials and the cooked
product placed upon the table. They
deposit the filth wherever they alight
upon the human body or elsewhere
The fly. therefore. is not only disgust
ing: it is distinctly dangerous.
The crusade which has for its slogan
Swat the fly" is growing In force
The latest phase of the anti-fy cam
paign carries the fight into the enemy's
country and makes it aggressive as
we'll as defensive. A New York physi-
clan urges the fly swatting operation
to go on outside the house as we'll as
indoors. He proposes public fly traps
at every street corner to catch the
pests. 1t is this doctors hope that city
and town authorities may take up the
matter officially and make the swat
ting Of the fly municipal as we'll as a
household matter.
Indications are that in a few years
the swatters will become almost as
active as the flies and that Mr.. and
Mrs. Housefly and their myriad prog
eny will be reduced to comparatively
small family. This is consummation
most devoutly to be wished. Swat the
fly.

Man Is q Social Animal.

Man ls a Social Animal.
Nearly half the people in the United
States live in incorporated towns or
cities of $500 or more inhabitants, &C.
cortling to the latest census statistics.
The returns for 1910 show that when
the census was taken 1853 per cent of
the population was urban and 53.7 per
cent rural, the latter classification in
Guiding those who live on farms or in
towns Of less than $500 people. From
1850 to 1910 the percentage Of urban
ties increased from 4O.5 to 1853, and
twenty years ago only 36.1 Of the total
population vas classed a prbank
These figures show that IN spite of
the opening of millions Of acres Of
new agricultural lands the city popu-
lation is increasing faster than the
country population. This is also de-
sn:te the fact that in the past twenty
Years the telephone, the trolley and
the rural mail delivery system have
been extended to the farms in thou
sends of communities. These improve
ments. it would seem. should make
farm life more attractive and turn the
tide of population from city to coun-
try. The reverse being the case, what
are the causes for such an apparently
anomalous situation? A satisfactory
reply to this question would go deep
into the domain Of sociology. but a few
surface explanations may be offered
In the first place. while there are
more farms there are also more cities
and towns than there were twenty
years ago. For instance, Oklahoma
City in 1890 was a mere village a few
months old. Now it is thriving city
Of about $4,000 people. In Oklahoma
and other western and southwestern
states are many cities and towns
which were not on the map 4 score Of
years ago. Wherever new agricultural
regions are populated new towns must
spring up. and this accounts In part
for the increase OF urban population
But the older cities and: towns also
show unusual growth for the moss
part: hence the problem is reduced to
the final analysis by: recognition the
fact that man IL" a social animal and
