ANOTHER BUMPER YEAR

A reassuring note regarding IN,
agricultural situation IS sounded by
President e r. Erwin i'm the annual
Lord and Thomas crop report There
viii be no hard times, says Mr. Err
win. as far as the agricultural situa-
ton is concerned. The farmer will
have another prosperous year. for
while it IS true that i'm some sections
Of the country the crops have fallen
off 10 some extent, the prices are more
than correspondingly higher. so that
the actual value of the crops this year
will be greater than last.
The annual report prepared by
President Erwin is always awaited
with interest for it gives a birds eye
view Of general crop conditions I'm
the country that is necessarily of no
inconsiderable value It is CLEANED from
agricultural papers and individual au-
thorities i'm all the big farming states
and is consequently as accurate as it
can reasonably be made In giving an
advance indication Of what the coun-
try may expect agriculturally Mr.. Err
win is performing a very valuable
service.
The report itself covers in detail
conditions I'm the various states and
fully bears out tho optimistic tone oil
Mr.. Erwin. I'm some states il is found
mat conditions compare, as regards
production, very favorably with those
of last year In others where there

over last year it is shown that the
added value more than makes upl
cor the lighter yield ON the whole the

his products this year than ever be-
ore.

MApERo FOR REFORM.

Now that Madero has been elected
to the presidency Of Mexico by an al
most unanimous vote, il seems odd L.
hear him talk of the unfairness and
linadequaCy of the Mexican ballot sys-
TEN, and promise that it's reform shall
be one of his first enterprises. Yet
such candor is apparently charac-
teristic of the man. lie holds that ne
has been chosen of the Mexican people
to establish real Republic i'm place
Of the dictatorship that Diaz built and
maintained.
A secret and free ballot is an indis-
pensable basis for representative gov
eminent. and Madero promises to make
this one of the first reforms under
taken. The land question lay at the.
d. tom of the revolution. Some Way
must DE found To put a fair share Of.
the burden of taxes ON the great land
holders. and eventually to break up
their holdings into small farms for the
people. But what can be expected i'm
this direction from "a Congress whose
members are selected by the very land
holders whose interests will be so
much affected by the proposed re
forms? Evidently the Mexican people |
must come into their suffrage rights, |
before much else can be done.
Madero very frankly admits that
with the present open system of vot- |
ng, where every mans ballot is read |
aloud. there is nothing to prevent the
great rancheros from debating abso-
utely TO their employees how they /
shall vote II is still a question 10 be
'esolved whether the Mexican masses
re capable of governing themselves,

eases of childhood. Practically every
family is visited by them at some time,
but they are ordinarily considered
rather annoying and troublesome than
serious. Most OF Us have not yet
learned the Importance Of protective
measures against the supposedly mild
forms of disease. We accept whoop-
ing cough and measles as natural all
mcnts Of childhood, like the Group and
of no more importance than we con-
slider a cold Even cold may prove, as
a forerunnor of something else, very
serious, but measles and whooping
cough actually deserve, i'm their own
right, the utmost care, both for cure
and for prevention.
The regulations of the state board
of health provide that children who
have whooping cough or measles or
who may Ice exposed to the disease
shall not attend school or any other
public gatherings. But this is a mat
ter not for the authorities alone but
for the parents. A child with whoop-
ing cough or measles should be given
as careful attention by parents and
physicians as a child with scarlet fe-
yer, both for its own protection AMI
for the safety Of others. The same
precautions should be taken against
any other contagious diseases. No
deaths from them should be charged
up TO carelessncss or neglect.

Dogs Trace Criminals.
The Prussian Government has re-
gently called on the police authorities
of towns which keep bloodhounds for
tracking criminals to report as To their
success in using them. The reports
sent in indicate that the police au-

suits.

bloodhound was put on the trail of

ing his arrest In many such cases
the criminals were so surprised and

From some towns that introduced
bloodhounds it is reported that a re-
duction In the number of thefts, bur

that the police expect stil better re-
