So If we wouldn't use the vote we couldn't cast ballots all day and bring ourselves to that awful picture that they draw. They also tell us that when all the women want the ballot we can get it.

 Miss Gordon was roundly applauded at the conclusion of her remarks. Mrs. Jacobs next requested Mrs. W. l..

She said in part as follows ''I have had few experiences in my life more inspiring or beautiful than the re- gently adjourned conference of the Ma tional Child Labor committee, and l have | come home fully determined tot arouse the state committee into active effort again to present a child labor bill to the next legislature. I wish that l might share with you some of the many things 1 that l learned but the scarcity of time will not allow me 10. do so just here. Tt was not a meeting of petty, foggy school teachers and cranhs but a coming | together for the purpose of discussins child labor conditions in this country. There .were, eminent educators, Uni,ed States Senator's, the United States commits sioner of education, the president of the | United Moulders union and many other thinkers and leaders in the national move ment.
 Two significant facts in connection with the conference impressed me. One was the universal advocacy of equal sue- | frage. The other was the announcemen: made that young college bred men and | women are offering themselves in the cause of child labor. They are going into I the factories and department stores as employees to learn at first hand the con. ditions there and will report their investi- cations to the National Child Labor com mitte for, their use, This to my mind is more noble than going to the foreign fields to convert an unwilling heather, foi we have conditions ta be lighted here in our midst.f

AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.
Value of Yearly Farm Production has More
than Doubled In the Past 16 Years.


After 16 years, record of service in
the Cabinet, Sec. of Agriculture Wilson
submitted, Dec. 9Th, to President Taft
the last annual report he will make as
head of the Department of Agriculture.
The report is more than review OF the
past years work; it contains summary
of the agricultural advance of the coun.
try during the venerable Secretary's
term of public service.
"The record of 16 years has been writ
ten" he says. cit begins with yearly
farm production of $4,000. 900, 600 and
ends with 1852, 900, 600. Sixteen
years ago, the farmer was joke of the
caricaturist; now he is like the stone
that was rejected by the builder and has
become the head stone of the corner.
During the past 16 years the farmer
has steadily increased the wealth pro-
duction year by year, with the excep-
ton of 1911. During the 16 years the
farmers wealth production increased l41
per cent.
"Most productive of all agricultural
Aears in the country has been 1912. The
earth has produced its greatest annual
dividend. The sun and the rain and the
fertility of the soil needed not the hu-
man controversies, but kept on working
in cooperation with the farmers efforts
to utilize them.
''The total production of farm wealth
is the highest yet reached by half a bill
lion dollars. The grand total for 1912 is
estimated to be 1882, 100000 This is
more than twice the value of the farm
wealth in $780,"
The most effective move toward re-
duced cost of living is the production of
greater crops, says the Secretary, and
this move, he declares, is due to the
work of the Department of Agriculture,
the agricultural colleges and experiment
stations and to the help of the press in
publishing every movement to help the
farmers.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S RECOMMENDED
TIONS.
He Will Leave the Tariff to Wilson.

President Taft will make no further eff
fort to haveCongress reduce the tariff. In
genera" message to Congress, submit
ted Dec. 5th, the President clearly indi-
Gated his intention of leaving further
tariff revision to Mr.. Wilson and the
Congress just elected.
Mr.. Taft came out strongly against
independence for the Philippines, pro-
posed, he said, in bill now before Con
gress. He deprecated the new policy of
one battleship year instead of two and
urged that three battleships be begun
this year to restore the old policy. He
Endorsed again the sche me of currency
reform proposed by the National None
tary Commission.
He declared that no radical change in
the Sherman antitrust law is needed,
and praised the Supreme Court for it's
recently announced changes in rules of
equity procedure. In this connection the
President asked Congress to pass legis-
lation which would allow the Supreme
SouLt " 1Olululdtt rules VI PROCEDURE
under the common law in Federal Courts,
and predicted that such action would ia
cilitate justice in those courts and re-
duce the cost of litigation to the public
The Panama Canal was dismissed in a
few words, the President prophesying
its opening in the latter half of 1913. He
took occasion, however, to declare that
Congress should reward the work of Col.
Goethals by an appointment as major
general, with the provision that he be-
come chief of engineers when the term
of the present incumbent expires.
The President urged the passage of
the pending Militia Pay bill, designed to
make service in the militia more entic-
ing, and showed that the hone Army
will be nothing more than 'Fskeleton"
until Congress provides that it be con-
centrated in fewer posts than are now
maintained.
He urged also the passage of another
bill, now before Congress, designed to
raise quickly volunteer Army in case

and few years later took up tract of land
and became of the incorporators of the

however, cannot be substantiated, says that he
was member of the Boston Tea PARTY, and

By means of Davis Landmarks of Ancient
Plymouth" the ancestry of Elnathan Lucas
may be traced back to Thomas Lucas, who emil
killed in Philips war in 1876 also to many
other Pilgrim and Puritan emigrants, includ-
ing Richard Warren, Francis Cooke, Stephen
Hopkins and Edward Dotey, signers of the
Mayfiower compact; also to George Morton,
financial agent of the Pilgrims in London, and
author of the first printed account of the Ply
mouth Colony-"Mourt's Relation" His wife,
Lydia Cornish, was descended from Richard
Cornish, who was in Plymouth in 1887, from
Richard Warren of the Mayfower. and from
the Rev. John Lothrop,in whose church sprung
up the first Baptist society. Lucas is suppos-
ed to be Huguenot name, SO presumably the
English family came originally from France.
The children of Warren and Elvira Lucas
have already been given in the Pottle records
and it would be interesting to have the family
records of the other children, if anyone can
furnish them.

One of the greatest evils which con-
fronts this country today is the growing
disregard for all laws, due to their non
enforcement. Buglaries and thefts are
committed, and on restitution being
made no legal action is taken, although
the parties to such transactions are guilty
of compromising felony and themselves
liable to punishment. Notorious offend
ers are tried and found guilty, only to
have their cases mol pressed or sentences
suspended. Newspapers are found to
espouse the cause of the worst criminals
and to urge their pardon when after
fair trial they have been justly sentenc-
ed. Here is case in point, cited by the
Boston Herald, in which the notorious
Gov Blease of South Carolina figured:
Addressing a turbulent crowd of his
supporters last summer, he declared that
he would release any convict whom the
people wanted to have liberated. The
audience shouted the name of a murder
er whose freedom they would welcome.
The Governor, on the spot, said he would
pardon the man, provided prosecuting
attorney whom he did not like was beat
en- at the polls for reelection. TIE pop
ulace took the hint. The prosecuting
officer was defeated and the Governor
honorable man that he ls-made good
his promise. Here was the initiative,
the referendum and the recall with
vengeance!
