SCIENTIFIC FARMING
BY The Better Farming Publicity Bureau
To Teach Elementary Agriculture

To Teach Elementary Agriculture
Within the next few years. every ap-
plicant for teachers certificate. not
only in the country schools, but in the
public schools Of our cities and towns,
must be prepared to pass An examina-
ton upon his or her ability to teach the
elements Of scientific agriculture In the
public schools.
That there are no adequate facilities
for supplying these teachers with the
necessary knowledge provided by the
state agricultural colleges is we'll
known fact. We don't mean by this
that the agricultural colleges have not
the facilities, but that these facilities
cannot be taken advantage Of by the
rank and file of the teaching force. The
average teachers cannot afford to spend
two or three years in addition to the
time that they have spent In high school
Or normal school preparing for their
duties a. teachers in tho public schools
in order to fit themselves for this new
and exacting obligation that will be
placed upon them.
To meet this necessity, Campbell Soil
Culture Publishing Company, publish
ers of the Scientific Farmer, have pre-
pared complete course of scientific
soil culture and are supplying the same
through . system of correspondence to
all who may wish to take advantage of
it.
This course is especially adapted to
the needs of the teacher. AZ there are
no suitable text books to be used in the
public schools for the purpose of in
struction, the necessity for the teacher
to be we'll informed on the basic princi-
pies governing the growth of plants
and the preparation of the soil becomes
imperative. The phenomenal success
Of the Campbell Correspondence School
of Soil Culture is an evidence of its ef-
ficiency and the fact that it was given
out at the psychological moment.

A Union of States.

The most important fact in connec-
ton with the admission of Arionza
seems to have been generally over
looked
The broad expanse of the United
States is now an indisSoluble union of
indestructible States. No more Terri
tories exist, except beyond our boun-
daries. We have become a great ma
ton, with all the Commonwealths out
of their swaddling clothes. From sea
to sea, from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico, there exist forty-eight sover-
eighties, each Independent and yet all
forming the most powerful national
structure known to the world.
From a few weak colonies upon the
eastern coast of the Atlantic, this re-
public has spread westward until it en-
braces an imperial domain. Gradually.
it has solved its problems, stesdfastly it
has maintained its ideals, gloriously it
is achieving its wonderful destiny.

BRYAN GROWS SARCASTIC.
Wants the President to Appoint
| Criminal Lawyer as Justice.

rloIn Lhe NommoncFs
Mr.. President: We. the burglars Of
the United States. beg to call your stten-
ton to a grievance. For years we have
suffered injustice at the hands OF the
courts. There is a law which by its
terms prohibits every combination for
the commission Of burglary. We most
respectfully ask that the rule OF reason
be applied We submit that the Law
should be construed to prohibit only un-
reasonable burglary. To this end, We ask
for the appointment as justice of the
Supreme Court OF criminal lawyer with
a record which will assure US that he
will sympathize with our efforts to rob
the public to a reasonable extent
We need not present our arguments
in favor of our business II is natural
development OF our civilization. II we
have not established as many colleges
and libraries as the trust magnates II
Is because we have been hampered by
a construction Of the law urged upon
the court by demagogues and disturbers
of the peace who have appealed to the
passions of the mob and arrayed the
people against us. Knowing OF your
sense of fairness and appreciating what
you have done for the trusts, We cherish
the hope that while we do not collect
as much as the trusts, you will put US
on the highway 10 the prosperity which
they now enjoy. Respectfully, &C.,

End of One Investigation.

The mountain has labored and
brought forth a mouse. The special
committee investigating the sugar trust,
having spent months in making the in
quiry and expended 4 considerable sum,
has submitted its report 1t consists
mainly of platitudes which might have
been written before any witnesses were
heard
1t did not take great wisdom to de-
termine that trust existed. 1t would,
however, have demonstrated the exist
ence of constructive craftsmanship in
the House if the investigation could
have resulted in the presentation of
remedial measures. On the contrary,
the committee, having marched up the
hill, now solemnly marches down again,
burdened only with a mass of testimony
which. will sink, as similar volumes al
ways %. into quiet oblivion.
1t is also worth while to note that
the special committee refers the entire
question to the standing committee for
further action. Having no remedy to
offer, it shifts the responsibility to other
shoulders and allows the disappointing
episode to reach most appropriate end.

Russia's Reprisal.

Russia, too wise to engage in war
fare upon ancient methods, has planned
its reprisal upon the United States for
the action of this country in abrogating
the treaty of 1882.
An appropriation of $z75,ooo is to be
made to extend the cotton-growing dis
trict in Turkestan, in the hope that
eventually the Russian empire will be
spared the necessity of purchasing the
staple in the United States. Steps have
also been taken to supplant, as far as
possible, the use of American-made ag-
ricultural machinery by implements
bought elsewhere.
The wars of the future will be COM
mercial wars. Russia's programme is
indicative of international policies when
blood and slaughter are relegated to
the past

oNE-CENT LETTER POSTAGE.
Government Makes Big PROFIT In
First-claHs Mail.

From the Albany Journal
1t is believed in Washington that l.
cent letter postage will be a fact within
the comparatively near future.
Not long ago, James ]. Britt, Third As
sistant Postmaster General, speaking at
Cleveland, let it be understood that just
as soon as readjustmsnt Of postal rates
can be brought about. the 1-eent rate
for letters will be possible.
The government is making per capita
profit OF S. cents a year. according TO
Mr.. Britts estimate, through the postal
department on the carrying Of letters
The departments actual profit on this
class Of mail is estimated at S., 03l, ,s9o.6S.
The loss occasioned by the distribution
OF other classes of mail under existing
rates is estimated at $50. 6.sS6s27S.
THE United States post-ofice touches
the door Of every person in this coun-
try" declared Mr.. Britt. in his address.
The department caters directly to every
man and woman in every class up to
the great business houses which send
out millions OF letters each year. No
other trifiing expenditure carries with 1t
so much significance as the purchase and
use of a postage stamp.
There have been many difficult prob
been brought face to face, and which We
have attempted to solve. Those respon-
sible for the administration Of the postal
establishment feel that II should receive
sufficient revenue to pay its own way.
There is every reason why It should be
managed so that II will be self-sus-,
tanning.
Since 1855. postal rates have been woe
fully out OF joint. First-class mail, con-
sistinE chiefly OF letters. has paid enor-
nous profits TO the government. On the
other hand, other classes Of mail have
been handled at an equally enormous
loss.
In mailing a letter. all are required
to pay 2 cents, despite the fact that the
government can carry IT for little more
than half that sum. Users of other
classes of mail pay but a fraction of
the cost of carrying their product. Why
should one class Of mail users be re-
quired to pay more than others? This
has been the great problem the officers
OF the Post-ofice Department have been
graphing. The department has no an
linus toward any class Of mail. 1t has
no desire TO antagoniZe any person using
the mails. IL has been inspired by a
single purpose-to do its duty toward
citizens generally.
You pay more than 50 cents per pound
for carrying letters about the United
States. although Il costs about half that
sum. To correct this manifest injustice,
we intend to ask Congress so to adjust
other rates as to put them on cost
paying basis, and then letter postage
may be reduced to ! cent"
Mr. Britt said that the chief reason
why 1-cent postage should come Is
business reason, and that is that ali
classes Of mail should be carried at cost
The officials OF the department are seek
ing to work on that basis

GETTYSBURG CELEBRATION.
PennsyIvanIans Desire IL should BE
n Notable Event.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
Gov. Tener is being urged by the civil
war veterans of Pennsylvania to lend his
utmost influence to make the celebration
Of the semI-centennlal Of the battle Of
Gettysburg the most important event OF
the kind in the State since the PhiladeI-
phia centennial in 1876
We believe that this is the wish not
only Of the veterans. but of a majority
Of the people of the State Such ex-
hibitions and celebrations cannot be or
ganized at any time or in any year. They
must be based on something. The affair
in Philadelphia commemorated the one
hundredth anniversary Of our national In
dependence, which was proclaimed in
that city.
The object of the celebration at Gettys-
burg is to observe in a fitting manner
the half-century anniversary OF an event
which determined that the Union should
not be destroyed. The whole United
States is interested in 1t and the throngs
that would flock TO that famous old town
to see the reunion OF the Blue and the
Gray upon the field where they met in
deadly conflict would come rom every
State and every section.
No better opportunity for a national
exhibition win ever be offered 10 PEN
sylvania, for. while We may celebrate
events In the future. It must be without
the strong attraction OF the presence Of
the human actors in those events.
The estimate of 200 as the appro-
priation necessary to finance the celebra-
tion satisfactorily Il too small. rather
than too large. when we consider the
attention wo could command through the
expenditure.

HOW 40 END MONEY TRUST.
Organization of National Banks In
to Association the Remedy.

VI
to Association the Remedy.
From the New York Globe
The money trust" as II is called. will
not be got rid Of by one Congressional
or two. or a dozen. The
inquiry, II II is carried on in a suffi-
ciently sensational and disturbing way,
can do much harm; but, so far as curing
the evil complained Of is concerned. they
will do no good. When the noise is over
the money trust" will be found doing
business at the old stand. 1t may change
its methods or form, but the substance of
the inIquity, II It be an Iniquity, will
remain.
What is the money trust?' II is the
fruit OF an Informal understanding among
prominent bankers 10 do business in q
certain way. 1t exercises a supervision
over the money market that is indlspens-
able-performs a function that in a high
ly organized financial community must be
performed by some one. Our bankers
would resent It If they were called So
cialists, and lsud the principle OF indi-
vIdual initiative and independence: yet
they know what, in more than one in
stances in times of panic, would have
happened II there was no concert Of ac-
ton and no leadership. When things
must be done, and they are not done in
a proper, regular way, they are done in
another way.
In other countries. institutions, estab-
lished and responsible to the government
exercise a control over discounts, re-
serves. and cognate matters that here are
left to congeries OF powerful banks.
Things that must be done will be done.
The money trust has usurped a gov
ernmental function because the govern
ment, because Of our faulty financial sys-
TEN. Is justly called the worst in the
world. Congress, from ignorance, or
sloth. or prejudice, has steadily declined
to enact legislation asked for by students
of the monetary problem.
Then what is to be done IL the money
trust is to be eliminated? The answer
is obvious and easy. Authorize the associ-
alton Of the T,J00 national banks of the
United States, as is proposed by the bill
Of the Monetary Commission now before
Congress. Then there will be no vacuum
in the country's banking system for a
money trust" to occupy. Until this is
done. cliques Of capitalists will enjoy what
Is properly deemed dangerous power.

directors Must Direct.

From the Newark Star.
That directors Of corporations must di-
rect or suffer the penalty for misdirection
is good law. 1t has been established again
and again by judicial decisions. The Comp
troller of the Currency. the official in Inn
mediate authority over all national banks,
now lays down the same rule. He an
nounces that directors Of national banks
who vote for excessive loans must make
good any loss to stockholders and depos-
itors that may result, and boards OF d.
rectors must tell bank examiners how the
vote stood on loans. Such a policy rig
orously enforced viii render banking safer
and the calling Of the dummy director
risky.
