A Lesson From a Swamp.

When Newport News man travels to Rich
mond and reads in his newspaper about the
high cost Of meat and bread and vegetables,
he cannot fail to be impressed with the fact
that the railroad runs through miles and miles
of waste lands, some of them swamp lands
which produce nothing but frogs. snakes.
mosquitoes and malaria.
We are paying famine prices for farm pro-
ducts yet 1t is stated in recent publication
that only sixteen per cent of the lands in this
country are actually under the plow
The publication referred to appears in the
current number of Every bodys Magazine, and
there is story about certain swamp lands in
Iowa which has peculiar interest for the
ago there was slough" in that State along
the banks of the Mississippi Il miles long and
containing $4,000 1t good for
ducks. but for nothing else of value. and the
death rate from malaria for those who lived
within the radius of its influence 52.5 per
thousand in 1870
We haven't the space to teH-the whole
story of the manner in which this swamp was
drained and the lands reclaimed. Suffice ii
to say that the work done by means of
dredges and pumps and the big swamp which
was a menace to life has been converted into
one Of the richest farming sections in the
State.
1t cost 1891 per acre to drain the swamp.
The lands reclaimed have increased in value
from nothing to $3.50 and 5000 per acre.
Isn't that lesson for Newport News and

Newspapers Working For Amendment.

The newspapers of the state are beginning
to take a lively interest in the proposed amend
ment to the constitution, which, il adopted,
will give Virginia cities chance to adopt the
commission form of government. The Norfolk
Virginan-Pilot in the course of strong edt-
torial urging Its readers to support this amend
ment, says In part:
1T is in order therefore to remind the pub
lie that besides to choose a president Of the
United States to succeed Mr.. Taft the oppor-
tunity viii devoye the Virginia electorate
at the Forthcoming November election to tete
on the proposed constitutional amendment
which passed the general assembly of 1910 anu
1912 allowing the Legislature prescribe forms
of commission government for cities, to be-
come effective when approved by the people
Here will be the chance for the cities OF
the State to secure genuine emancipation from
the clumsy, wastefu and ineffective form of
government to which they at present
chained. Under the terms of the amendment
as 1t win be presented to the suffragans, the
general assembly may depart from the form
or organization and government OF the cities
and towns, as now prescribed by the cohstitu-
ton and may PROVIDE from time 70 time ter
the various cities and towns of the State such
forms of municipal government as II may deem
best subject to the condition that form
so adopted by the general assembly shall be-
come operative except to such cities or
towns as may thereafter adopt the same by
a majority vote of its qualified electors at an
election to be held may be prescribed
therefor by law.
We regard the popular ratification of TINS
proposed change in the constitution as sec
end in Importance TO no issue which the Nir-
ginia people will be called on to pass at the
November election
We have no excuse to offer for frequently
calling attention to this matter. II Is OF vital
importance and we want our readers to be-
come thoroughly familiar with the import OF
the proposed amendment before election day in
mber.--Fredericksnurg Free Lance.

of These measures are useful, but extreme care
must be observed in their operation. They arc
as dangerous as the sharp knife of a surgeon in
