Wiae to Listen.

In passing, it is the wise folk who listen to friendly criticism, without a trace of indignation, Just as did the little fellow who heafd himself called all sorts of unw0lcome names and vent on as if nothing had happened at all For 1t is friendly criticism, in the home and among true friends, that makes us "see ourselves as others see us."

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

eTa oNIGHT, or Monday at the latest, should see the. end of
Ii the dreary and hopeless business at Chicago. Public
interest has all but departed from the Republican ma
tonal convention with the elimination of Roosevelt, whose final
decision now is to ignore the b~ossridden assemblage and rally
his progressive followers to his standard later in the summer.
His candidacy at the head of a new party will render more
certain, If that were possible, the downfall of the regular Re-
publican organization in November. President Taft's impending
denomination will be due to a majority obtained by fraud and
retained by remorseless tyranny. 1t matters little now whether
VicePresident Sherman is chosen to share his inevitable defeat
or some other victim presents himself for slaughter. Nor does
the nation care very much what will be the exact terms of the
reactionary platform to be adopted. 1t will only help along the
rout of the once grand old party, sacrificed to the vanity of Taft
and the lust of his counselors for power. The bosses and boss
let's who make up the national committee and whose transpar-
emily unfair decisions the fraudulent majority of the convention
is now engaged in ratifying care nothing for Taft. They are
fighting for continued control Of the party machine. They know
that by nominating Taft they are forcing Roosevelt and pro
gressiveism out of the party, and that is what they want. They
would have nothing to gain by supporting Roosevets just claims
TO a majority of the convention, whereas after the defeat of Taft
IN November they will retain the wreckage and have four years
in which to assemble the scraps into a new machine. They knew
that if they did not eliminate Roosevelt they would be elhmi
mated. And so the two irreconclable elements of the Republican
party have come to the parting of the ways.

OUR FARMS NEED THE IMMIGRANTS.

ID ESIDES objections already urged to the lteracy test in the
i'd Dillingham; immigration bill is that it would shut out a
large proportion of the class of immigrants that this
country needs most sorely, the tllers of the soil. Agricultural
laborers from Europe are more apt to be illiterate than city
dwellers. With our native population deserving the farms we
want every ablebodied agricultural worker that we can secure
by immigration. Moreover, we need a system of government
distribution of immigrants, placing them on farms instead of
permitting them to herd in cities and sums. Such a policy
will close the rapidly widening gap between supply and demand
OF food products and will do more to reduce the high cost of
living than any other remedy that could be suggested. Many
of these European rustics also understand intensive farming and
can make two blades of grass grow where only one grows now.
