ed by Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey in speech delivered at
the Staten Island Country Fair.
Governor Wilson suggested as a
remedy a closer cooperation among
American farmers, using the country
church as a medium for bringing this
about. He added:
Now the moment the farmers of a
community begin to draw together
they will form associations to study
the methods of production and form a

all unite in discovering the bes. mar

THE FRENCH CHARACTER.

O Paris, Aug. 19.
It is little hard to take Paris seri-
0usly, because Paris refuses to take
herself that way. There is a cheer
fuheSS and a playfulneSs about the
French folks that is hard to appreciate
from the calm viewpoint of an Eng
lishman or American. Our standards
are different along so many lines that
comparisons are unfair without ex-
plantations, and who cares for long
winded explanations. According to
all the rules that are laid down in the
books of American etiquette, the peo-
pie Qf this city should be behind the
rest OF the world in all the serious
and necessary works of life. And yet
French generals have fought and de-
feated larger armies with their French
g soldiers. French engineers have per-
formed marvellous feats, French scien-
tiss are authority, French musicians
command the highest prices, French
business men do great things, the
French people are wealthy, and when
1t comes to literature and ant we in
America are really small potatoes.
The fact seems to be that the French

the other day. At the union depot he
CHANGED to meet two very earnest
men who had been to North Dakota
looking for land, but had failed to
find any for some reason. They
found that Shafer was from Topeka,
whereupon one of them remembered
that he lived in Wichita himself and
the first thing Shafer knew he was
having just the chummiest kind of a
time with the pair.
And then In swung those curious
Etle half length doors and a third
chummy man insisted that it was his
turn to buy. Shafeer's money was
counterfeit, so far as he knew. He'd
lived in Kansas himself and anyway
anyone that was with his friends be-
came his friend automatically. Have

The third man Just happened to be
CT his way to a secret poolroom to
bet on the third race at the Hamline
fair at Minneapolis. Sure he'd bet a
dollar for Shafer and back he came
with two dollars for Shafer before
long. Then he took s. for Shafer and
then s35 and won every time. And
so ii happened that one of the origin
al pair thumped the bar with his fist
and wasn't going to be a "piker.
Here was a chance to win a fortune.
The third man could Just take his
$4,000 and bet it. Then back came
the third man with the $4,000. He'd
won again.
That was getting money even fast

The bet. But then supposing they
had lost would Shafer have been able
to pay the $4,000? Certainly he
would. Here was his check for $1O,-
900, as far as that went. But he
kept the check and went with one of
his chums to hotel for the night.
Shafer awoke about O'Clock the
next morning, and the early morning
you know, is a great time for clear
thinking. He used his head so well
that he left the noon, locked his bet
ting friend in and called the police.
And, so Shafer says, the joke of it
was that he only had $3.50 in the
bank on which he was going to show
a check for $1O,OOO.-K. C. Star.

modern statesmen are neophytes in
comparison with those of fifty or
seventy-fve years ago. The public
schools are responsible for this. For

South, which had not instituted a
public school system, but relied upon
the old field schools, which were far

has II sENAr TIE BECOME THE LOWER HOUSE?

RI n all former legislatures the rule was for the House To wait
upon the pleasure of the Senate. There was ever an air Of
superiority on the part of the upper house. \ common ex
perience when an important House bill was sem 10 the Senate
was the framing and passing of Il Senate substitute, which the
House WAS compelled 10 accept. The substitute bill is an old trick
IF the Senate, and Senate committees have ever beer the terror OF
assmbymen with bills they were anxious 10 have passed. Those
committees were grayeyards of hundreds of House bills. But the
relations of Senate and House seem to have been reversed in this
wear of topsy-turyy politics and legislation. The Senate now defers
to the House. Soon after the present session convened the Senate
passed important bills, among them a primary election BILL Those
bills have been hung up in the House ever since. After eleven
weeks of delay the House has passed the Record ieran primary bill
as its own and sent il to the Senate. taking no further notice of the
Senate bill stalled in the House. The same course is proposed TO
be taken by the House in other matters in which legislation in the
two houses runs counter. The Senate committee in charge of the
House bill even makes haste. \ Republican majority conference
on the bill IS to be held tomorrow. something altogether nnprece
denied. But let us not too hastily assume that the New Jersey
Senate has lost its traditional characteristics. together with its
dignity, and consented to play the role of the lower house. The
Senate. as a Senate. is vet to act on the House bills.

NEW USE o JERSEY CITY PENN. STATION.

cts HE Pennsylvania railroad never discloses its plans until thew
are ripe for execution. Since the opening of the great ter
minaI in Manhattan it has been understood that the Penn.
sylyania railroad station in Jersey City would be turned over to
the Central Railroad of New Jersey. \ report was prevalent yes.
terday in Philadelphia, where the home Office of The PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company is located, that both the Central and the Lehioh
Valley will use the jersey City terminal after The Newark rapid
transit line has been built, the Pennsylvania abandoning the jersey
City terminal for both its local and through trains. This report
as it relates to the Lehgh Valley, has a significance in connection
with the plans of that company i'll relation 10 the new canal basin
at Jersey City, which is now used by the company u S a railroad
terminal. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company scored posses
sion of the canal. by lease, with two objects. namely, to extinguish
canal competition in The transportation of coal and TO secure an
outlet on the Hudson with Il terminal there. These objects were
attained, but the company realizes that as it is only a sqnatter on
the terminal property it may at any time be dispossessed by the
State if the canal charter shall be forfeited. The railroad company
would then have TO move or submit to any terms the State might
impose. In view of these contingencies the acquisition by the com
papy of the ownership or lease of the Pennsylvania railroad ter
ninal at Jersey City looks like a stroke of policy.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
That it has been officially decided to
have a safe and sane GLORIOUS Fourth
is a cause of congratulation for every
body but the small boy, who doesn't
know, of course, in the innocence of
his immature years, that it is the best
thing for him also to get rid of the
powder and fireworks idea on the ma
tional holiday.
The Chinese way of celebrating holi-
days with firecrackers, torpedoes and
other noise producers will soon be, hap
PLY. q thing of the past in this sober
and sensible nation. And what should
be more fitting than hat the very
antithesis of noise, music, should take
its place.
| noticed in your paper the other day
that one of the largest of the country's
fireworks concerns has gone to the
financial wall, largely because of the
spreading safe and sane" idea. Its
loss is surely others gain. and the
people, as a whole, will reap TIE benefit.

right in lining up with the action of
other civilized communities in prefer
ring music to noise. q.
