PROBLEMS OF FARM DISCUSSED.
Ex-President Roosevelt Speaker at Y. M.
c. A. Banquet in White River juno


tion.
The need of turning attention to the
welfare of farmers-"the people of the
open country"-was the subject of an
address by eX-President Roosevelt be-
fore a get together" party of 800 Yer
mont people and guests in White River
Junction Wednesday night. Other spe-
cial guests present were Gov. Mead, DR..
F.. S. Lee of Columbia university, who
acted as POSTMASTER, Congressman
Plumley, Judge +. b. Adams of st.
Louis. President Butterheld of the Mas
sachusetts agricultural college, Albert f.
Roberts of New York, international sec
retary of the Y. NJ. c. A, Dean G. +.
Emerson and Prof. H. E. Key of Dart
mouth college. The dinner was held un-
der the auspices of the Windsor county
Y. NJ G. a. Col. Roosevelt was induced
to come to the gathering through the in
fluence of Wallace Batchelder of Bethel,
lawyer, formerly of Brattleboro. Mr..
Datchelder served in the Rough Riders
in the Spanish American war and later
was a lieutenant in the Philippines. DR.
Lee was toastmaster. In closing Col
Roosevelt said:
THE farmers themselves must take
the lead in meeting changed conditions
and overcoming the new difficulties, but
all other citizens must join in helping
them, for the welfare of the work
er is vital to the community as a whole.
Not only must the farmer have the best
practical application of scientific knowl-
edge in the management of his farm,
but he must be able to combine with
his fellows in marketing his goods and
moreover, in addition to putting the farm
on n paying basis there must be a
steady effort to increase the social op-
portunity of those who dwell in the open
country, both the church and organiza-
tions like the Young Mems Christian as
SOCiatOu having an aDOunQiQg field for
usefulness in working along these lines"
President Butterfield of the Massa-
chusetts agricultural college also spoke
at some length, urging cooperation as a
means of placing agriculture and coun-
try life on a new basis.

London.-Much interest was aroused
in the report of the London traffic
branch of the board of trade recon-

Herbert Jekyll couples the scheme
with the provision of new garden
suburbs" in the districts traversed by
these roads. He urges its immediate
adoption on the ground that, heavy
as the cost will be now, 1t will be
twice as heavy seven or eight years
hence. The report thus opens the
prospect of what London may be like
In 1920.

soon as possible. They would find

warranted sufferings of animals. But
they are fighting a monster that does
not exist"
The speaker said that one of the
main cause of distrust of medicine
and doctors. which, he said, had exist
ed since ancient days and was still in
force, was 1.-The appalling ignorance
which people possess of their own
bodies and bodily processes.
The ordinary man feels certain
symptoms" said the lecturer. but he
does not understand their real sig
nificance. He knows not whether they
are important or unimportant. or
whether or not they demand a doc
tors knowledge. He trusts blindly to
the hope that if he neglects them they
will pass away. If they persist, he
diagnoses his own case and attempts
to treat It. II, at last, he is forced
to appeal to the doctor, he learns that
of the real significance of his disease
he knows nothing, except what the
doctor may tell him."
After the lecture. it being the con

impromptu reception to Doctor Lee.
Doctors and medical students, as well
as lay members who were in the audi

the doctor she was seventy-four years

missed one of his lectures.

TO OPEN BOTH vEsTIBULEs.
Railroads Of State Are Opposed to Com
missions Plans.

~
Jackson.-One of the most strenuous
fights anticipated by the Mississippi
railroad commission for it's June session
is that which will undoubtedly be waged
by all the railroads in the state against
a proposed regulation of the commission,
enforcing the keeping open of both YES
tibules of all coaches while admitting
passengers at station points throughout
the state.
The matter has been discussed with
prominent railroad officials in the state
and they have declared themselves as
unalterably opposed to the intended ac-
ton of the commission. 1t will mean,
they say, the addition of trainmen to
each passenger crew, an increased ex-
penditure thereby becoming imminent,
with no possibility Of additional reye-
nue. to overcome this expense.
All rail lines in the state are at pres
ent keeping only n vestibule open of
each coach, thereby delaying the admis-
sion of passengers to the coaches until
all Of the outgoing passengers have been
accommodated.

Brings Friends to See Southland.
Jackson.-Headed by former Lieut.
Gov. Joseph A. Trautman of Kansas, a
party of a dozen Northern capitalists are
spending several days in jackson investi-
eating the possibilities offered to pur-
chasers of Mississippi lands, and their
visit to this city will undoubtedly re-
suit in the sale of valuable tracts by
local real estate men within the next
few weeks.
The visit of the Northern gentlemen
to Mississippi was instigated several
weeks ago by the purchase of Mr.. Traut-
man of a large tract of land immediate
~ south of this city, for speculative pur-
poses. Mr.. Trautman returned to To-
peka, his home town, with such brilliant
reports of the progress of the Southern
states, that his neighbors expressed
their doubts as to the validity of his
claims, to all of which Gov. Trautman
offered the simple invitation to Come
and see!"
The party was accordingly made up
and intend visiting all portions of the
state for the purpose of making a COM
parative study of the u of the
state. The delta will be visited and
should prove all attractive proposition
to the Northern investors.

Jacksonville interesting of northern
and eastern capitalists and financiers in
the colonization plans of various devel-
opment organizations throughout Missis-
sippi is causing a sudden appreciation OF
the homestead possibilities of the state,
according to information received in the
office of Register j. Jay White, OF the
United States land office in this city.
The colonization plans include the
bringing of thousands and thousands of
immigrants to the unsettled portions
the state, providing them with subs
tial farms and letting them pay for the
lands after they have tried their powers
at cultivation. This class of colonists
will be comprised mainly of Dutch, Ger
man, Swedes and Italian farmers who
have come to this country to pursue
their agricultural vacations in the new
land.
There are 10000 acres of land still
available in Mississippi, however, under
the homestead laws of the United States,
and these are being eagerly inquired for.

is, perhaps, not surprising that opposi-

purposes is holly maintained by a few
individuals. This opposition some
times wilfully denies the value of ami
NAL experimentation in scientific ad-
vances; it sometimes u the ex-
treme and officially ~indefensible atti-
tude of denying the right Of a man to
use animals at all as experimental OBJ

the establishment of legal restrictions
against the practice. These var in
degree from slight limitations to total
prohibition.
THE antivivisectionist view is
psychologically of great interest. 1t
rests on a low intellectual and ethical
level and exhibits in an elemental sim

FUN Meeting of the Committee at the
Little Rock Reunion.

Headquarters Confederate Women's Mon
ument Committee for Mississippi,
Rosedale, Miss, May ], 1911.
To the State Committee, and all Missis-
sippians Interested in the Building of
a Monument in Honor of the Women
of the Confederacy:
\. Pursuant to an order issued some days
since BY Gen. w. A. Montgomery, there
will be a full meeting of II committee
at the Little Rock reunion, and it is i'm
portant that all Of the funds that have
been subscribed and collected for the
monument should be sent, prior to that
time, to Col. Clay Sharkey, our treas
urer, OF jackson, Miss. We understand
that perhaps there are some contribu-
tions that have not been heretofore Tor
warded, because they are small in
amount, and the parties are holding
them, thinking it good policy to delay
reporting, with a view Of materially IN
creasing the amounts, and making a
more creditable showing.
We want to say, for each member OF
the committee, that this monument is
intended as a love offering from all OF
the people of the state who want to
honor the women of the Confederacy,
and the small amounts are especially APP
preciated for that reason. SO no one
need hesitate to send in their contribu-
tions, no matter how small they may
be, and we viii especially appreciate
prompt attention now, as we are anx-
ions to show, as collected, as large a
sum as the facts justify, when we make
our report to the United Confederate
| Veterans, at the Little Rock meeting, on
the 10th inst.
After sending in whatever sum may
have been collected, the proper efforts
can be made to get additional contri-
buttons, which can be sent forward from
time to time, as may seem best.
Asking that the state papers copy
this notice and that it receive prompt
attention in all parts of the state, we
ere, yours respectfully,
