farmers Of the northwest do not take
kindly to diversified farming.
With the vast extension Of farming
operations, the stock raising industry
Is on the decline. and dairying barely
holds its own. The number OF hogs
received at Winnipeg decreased from
l45.269 In 1908 to 85.157 in 1911. al
though the Winnipeg packing houses
have never received enough animals
to employ their full capacity. The re-
ceipts of sheep increased from 30,775
in 1910, to 43,614 in 1911. but there
vas no increase from western Can
ada. as the additional sheep were
brought from st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. The abandonment Of many cat
tie ranges will soon force the importa-
ton Of beef.
With Europe the only outlet for his
wheat and other cereals and climatic
conditions unfavorable to diversified
farming, e--cept in the s~outhernmost
districts. the Canadian northwest
farmer will evidently have something
to occupy his mind during the COM
ing five or six years besides merely
sowing the seed and harvesting his
crops.

David Belasco has been criticised be-
aus of his recent activity in vaude-
willie lines. Some critics have said that
he is STOPPING to a branch of the the
alter world that is threatening the fu-
ture of the American stage and drama.
But 1t this true? Is he not rendering
a service that will prove of lasting
benefit to the future drama?
Vaudeville has come to stay. It has
already made great inroads into the
legitimate. 1t has taken some Of the
greatest actors and actresses in the
country. But 1t took a producer of
David Belasco's skill and foresight to
see that the vaudeville theater can be
made to enlarge and better the Amer
lean drama.
So David Belasco went to work to
give the vaudeville stage something
that was worth while, something that
would turn the patrons of these insti-
buttons to higher and better things.

mutiny in India. This play. written
by Austin Strong, made such an i'm
preston On AOnQon InedIeESOerS that
1t was kept at a prominent theater in
that city for upwards Of two years.
Both these plays have had a Won
derful effect on vaudeville patrons.
They have been made to realize that
there is something besides the toe and
whirlwind dancer. something greater
than the rapid fire talk of a comedian
and his singing partner. Moreover,
they have encouraged aspiring au.
thors to greater efforts. and have
opened the way to the real school Of
playwrighting.
David Belasco has long been known
as one Of the greatest producers in
the country. He has. more dramatic
ability than any Of the managers. For
proof Of this witness the number of
successful plays he has written. fore
most among which is 1.-THE Girl of the

he is possessed with an unusually
great amount Of dramatic foresight in

POLITICAL DOPE

Candidate McCandless IL carrying
on an early and very active cam
paign for Delegate to Congress. One
of his first reported steps has been
TO employ "a Hawaiian runner in each
of the precincts of this island The
duties OF these runners include u
house to- house canvass for the pur-
pose of reporting on each voter and
also to pledge as many as possible.
Among the Hawaiians first pledge
Is usually kept. when 1t comes to tho
show-dow of the secret ballot, and 1t
is on this basis that McCandless'
forces evidently hope to make inroads
on the Republican vote. ,They are
banking on the Frear forces to knife
kuhio, and II McCandless men can
get enough Hawaiians they think they
have 1t. So far as known, the pres
ent Republican committee Is doing
nothing to offset this. The claim Is
made that the generally accepted Of
fetal organ Of the committee Is de-
voting considerable of its space to fac
tionel condemnation of Stephen Desha
and others associated with him. This
is merely arousing many of the Ha-
waiians to n feeling of bitterness
against the present organization of the
committee and widening the breach
which ought to be closed.
