notification of Mr.. Hendricks was timed
to take place when the season was at
its height.
The notification of the head of the
ticket was overshadowed by the so
cial trimmings that We're attached to
the notification of the tail. A CORE
spondent of a Chicago newspaper who
was present telegraphed among other
words that "the old Atlantic rolled in
majesty before the scene as Mr.. Hen

the hurry incident to making up a
newspaper in the early morning hours

have occurred when General Hancock,

Hancock for president. A Missouri

THE woRLp,s aRANARY

In an address recently delivered to
the bankers of Iowa, Dean Curtiss of
the Iowa state college, pointed out
that one hundred years ago, 80 per
cent of the population of the United
States lived on the farms. Fifty
years ago, two-thirds OF the popula-
ton was in the country. Today we
have scarcely one-third of our popu-
lation living on the farms. AS our
manufacturing and commercial enter
prises expand. the proportion of peo-
pie in the cities in relation to those
in the country has steadily increased
and Is certain to increase still more.
There is nothing in the situation
alarming, as Dean Curtiss sees it,
provided the farming is of the right
kind and the land holders heritage
is not destroyed. Unless proper farm
ing is done, we will be put to the
test Of feeding our own people within
the next ten or twenty years. Even
now we are importing foodstuffs The
nation is exporting raw material need
ed here. with every 100000 coo
OuoACio Vi Nh0dt tudL We CApOI We
give to foreign countries 10000, 900
worth Of feedstuffs, $15.O00,o00 worth
of fertility, and sS,o00,O00 worth OF
labor insmilling. This is a profligate
waste of capital and labor. If we have
a surplus we should export only the
-four, and retain the feedstuffs, fertil-
lity and labor for the enrichment OF our
own land
The solution OF the problems pre-
sented, Dean Curtiss argued is In vo-
cational training The establishment
of vocational schools he said would
stop rural depopulation and reverse
the tide from the country. to the city.
They would put our crop yield on a
par with those of foreign countries,
1 from 25 to 80 per cent above present
yields They would check the decline
| in soil fertility and help to keep Amer
lean farms for American boys and
girls instead of for foreign tenants
/ They would become centers for rural
social life and organization They
would contribute to the contentment
of rural life and thereby give stabil-
ity to the nations best citizenship

The New Railroad Idea.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat Benja-
min F. Yoakum of the Frisco system
is saving, in interviews, public adj
dresses, and articles written for publ
cation, that his company has dropped
the politician and taken up the farm
err. Such a statement by railway
manager includes several volumes OF
history. The one fact most plainly
appearing in it is one which the Globe-
Democrat has repeatedly stated in
answer to the short-sighted talk of
anti-railway agitation having been
promoted by politicians The one
obvious answer to such a blinking OF
facts well known to every man famil-
lar with our railway development, ex-
ploitation and management, was that
the politician had promoted the cru
SADIE only in the sense that his corrupt
work for the corporations against The
public had brought it on.
After the storm broke the polite
ians, of course, sought cover They
then became the worst OF the howlers
and demagogues crying out against
capitalism. This might have been
foreseen by railway managers, and
probably was foreseen by those of
large caliber. Those of smaller cali
Der are those given to the talk of
politicians being responsible for the
continuance of new legislation. These,
no doubt, can be. fooled again by the
politicians after the worst is over, and
led again into encroachments and ex-
cesses which would bring on another
storm, of greater fury, IL such folly
could ever again become as common
in railway Offices as it was a few
years ago. The words of Mr.. Yoakum
are assurance that it never can be.
The farmer will be found a splendid
substitute for the politician. We take
lit that Mr.. Yoakum speaks of the
+, farmer not only as an agriculturist
but as a shipper, and that he means
to have all shippers brought into closer
contact with management than when
the sons-in-law of state. senators and
the nephews of governors made CANT
/ let the sneering line of which must
be run by any shipper wanting con-
ference with a responsible head of a
traffic department. In dealing with
business men instead of politicians the
ltest of merit will be applied in all
railway posts from top to bottom. The
fittest will survive. The unfit must go
to the wall when politics can no
i longer save them,

MY PRAYER.
Let me be true to meet each honest
eye,
Yet If a friend whose sorrowed
heart has been undone
Asks me for comfort where In truth
there can be none,
Then let me grasp his cropping hand
and kindly lie.
And II my neighbor does those things
/ think are Ill,
Let me not Judge! Who knows what
tangled haunting skein
Fate may have woven to have mesh
ed his heart in pain
Would have smoothed the evil knot
with half his skill?
Since must play the game of life,
this is my prayer,
Though may lose, let me preserve
a smiling face,
Let me not scorn the weak who fall
ter in the race;
Let me be merciful-let me play fair.

ANOTHER FRUIT PEST.

A new and dangerous fruit pest has
appeared in New York state. This IS
the pear thrips, one Of the most dread-
California, where the thrips first be-
came noticeable. The outbreak of the
insect in New York is one of the mys-
teries of entomology, since California
and New York are about as widely sep
arated as two states in the union can
be; yet the thrips appears in both and
not, as far as known, in the interven-
ing territory. It's ravages in New
York are largely confined to small
area in the Hudson river district, but
It is known to be present in several
other localities. and may be more
widely distributed than is realized It's
work is of a peculiar nature, often mis-
taken for frost injury or blight, and
the insect itself is too small to at
tract attention unless present in large
numbers. Its attack, however, Is upon
the blossom buds, so that where
abundant the prospects for crop
rapidly disappear.
All the pear growers should be
awake to the necessity of recognizing
and combating the thrips as soon as it
appears. Only prompt, thorough
Ispraying with a contact insecticide,
like the nicotine preparations, will
prevent damage; since the pest soon
gets into the eenters of the buds,
where it can net be reached effectively

-
In an interview given In Chicago to
correspondent of London paper for
mer United States Senator Chauncey
NJ. Depew complained that the Taft
forces in the convention, of which he
is member, are under the command
of General Principle" and in the
rough and tumble Of convention
fight General Principle is poor
leader. He went on to say:
"A, tions that would kill any other
politician are precisely the best assets
of Colonel Roosevelt, If Taft should
come here it would kill his chances
utterly, but Roosevelt has come and
the people are shouting Bully for
Teddy Where Roosevelt goes no
man can stop him, for the devil helps
him and the Lord doesn't interpose.
It's that damned charm of his as was
said OF the other woman in Barries
What Every Woman Knows
All the unrest pcrvading this coun-
try is attributed by Mr.. Depew to its
excessive prosperity:
1.-THE working men all have good
Jobs and tremendous wages and they
want still better jobs and higher
wages. The radicalism so much talk
ed of is artificial and somewhat harm
less. Bryan tried to do the trick
three times but there is this distinc-
ton between Bryan and Roosevelt.

how he was going to do and we were

According to the Electrical World.
the average man dissipates about 2.5
kilowatt hours of energy per day in
motion, muscular action, mental exer-
ton and heat radiation. This is equiv
alent to continuous expenditure at
the rate of about 100 watts, or the rat
ing of one-eighth horsepower motor.
In spite of his high body temperature
1856 degrees Fahrenheit-an large
radfating surface, mans heat losses
are surprisingly small about fifty
watt hours per hour, or about one-half
of the total energy expenditure. As
heating device the average man is
thus about equal to sixteen candle

GIANTS AND YANKEES MAY
SHARE THE POLO GROUNDS
John T. Brush Invites Highlanders to Use
New York Nationals Park on Memorial
Day, and Lease Talk Follows.

NEW YORK, May 21.-It became known
yesterday that John T. Brush. the presi-
dent of the New York National League
team, had offered the Polo Grounds to
the Yankees for Memorial day, when a
double header is scheduled with the world
champion Athletics, one game to be play
ed in the morning and the other in the
afternoon. 1t is further said that this
may eventually result in both clubs using
the same grounds for all home games.
The invitation for Memorial day has
been extended to the American League
club on account of the superior acommo-
dations Of the Polo Grounds and the bet
ter facilities for holding and handling the
large crowds which always turn out on a
holiday. In this way Mr. Brush hopes to
show his appreciation Of the courtesy ex-
tended to him last spring when the stands
at the Polo Grounds burned down. and
Frank Farrell, the president of the
Yankees. at once offered his park to the
National League club. The Giants used
American League park for more than a
month at that time.
Neither Mr.. Farrell nor any one con-
nected with the Yankees would say yes
terday whether or not the invitation
would be accepted, those in authority de-
claring that it had not yet been received.
However, it was distinctly implied that
the invitation was expected and would be
accepted, so that the fans will have an
opportunity to see the worlds champions
and Yankees at the Polo Grounds.
This invitation and the attitude in which
it has been received has given substance
to a rumor that has been current several
weeks that next season or the. one follow
ing both New York clubs will use the
