Beans Will Pay for Fruit Lands.

Many Of Western Michigan orchard
man is paying for his land while wait
ing for his trees h come into bearing
by the growing of beans. Beans do
wonderfully we'll upon the Western
Michigan soil. The experience OF
Lawrence Marsh, while above the
average, makes clear what can be ac-
complisbed. On three and one half
acres OF orchard ground near Luther
Ia Lake county, he raised from select
ed seed, 100 bushels Of beans, which
we're sold as they came from the
threser at 50 the bushel without any
expense OF bags, carriage or freight.
This was a return per acre of 45.7 bus
els aud $9l.42. Each acre besides pro-
ducing the beans gave sufficient nour-
ishment TO 100 fruit trees 10 allow
the trees TO make good season s
growth. There are thousands of acres
in Western Michigan today that ca n
produce as abundantly as the above
place and these acres can be had at
less than one-half Of $91. 40.

THE DIVORCE QUESTION

Gaskill and MacVItty will produce
at Temple Theatre. Wednesday Nov.
10th, VIM. Anthony McGuire's STIR
ring play The Divorce Question"
which ran l07 performances at Nc
Vickers Theatre In Chicago and re-
ceiyed the unanimous support alike Of
press, public and clergy.
The them Of the play is an argu.
ment against Divorce, the main idea
being that the nGxt generation must
be considered In laws enacted by the
present generation, taking the stand
that the purpose OF marriage In the
PRONUNCIATION OF humanity by the
production OF children and the de-
finite and mrefuted idea contained is
that every child has a right TO its
parents.
The story OF the play shows that
pathetic phrase Of life wherein mar
rige has been adopted as the legitl.
mate means Of adulJry and wherein
two children are sacrificed To the sell
tishness Of the new moral code.
The degradation to which the poor
homeless children fall-the horrible
agony of the homeless. pareDtless girl
who becomes victim OF white slav-
cry and who cannot he received later
into the homes of her parents because
OF their subsequent marriage and
children.
This condition is only equaled by
the wild grief of the boy who has be-
come addicted to morphine in order
to drown coguszance or terrible ex-
istance.
The depth TO which these poor
children have fallen seems more ter
rible when the priest produces statis-
tics TO show that they are but two Of
million and u half Of such cases
brought about by divorce.
The remOrse or the parents upon.
seeing the result OF their actions also
becomes pitiful, but their selfish ideas
of life prevent them from undoing
what they have done, until when al
most too late they see the enOrnity
of their offence and through the
efforts OF the priest strive TO save the
remnants Of their flesh and olOod.

FAV0RS SHORTER BALLOT
Wadsworth, Before Congress
Club, Urges Other Reforms.

James W. Wads sworth, formerly Speaker
of the Assembly. addressed a large audi
ence. which included many members Of
the Congress club. at the United Congre-
gational Church, in Williamsburg. yester-
day afternoon on the subject of "A More
Effective Democracy"
One of the greatest evils now faced by
the people I'm their attempts to get ade-
quate representation at tho polls. said Mr.
Wadsworth. was the present system Of
voting. lie suggested as remedy a
shorter ballot. and said that this could
easily be secured by a change in the state
elective and appointive offices.
On the same principle as that on which
the President. elected To Office selects his
own Cabinet. composed Of the men who
he believes may best help him in his ad-
ministration, the ex-Speaker advocated
the cutting down of the state elective of
fees to three-those OF Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor and Controller. The Con-
troller would act. he said. as effective
check upon the generous tendencies of the
Governor, and the filing Of the other state
Offices by sppointees would place all re-
sponsibility directly at the door Of the
chief executive.
Mr.. Wadsworth made n brief reference
to the recent elections. and gave II as his
opinion that the direct primary would re-
quire considerable reconstruction before
II became a serviceable system.

ENGLISH VIEWS ON LABOR
Harry Phillips Advocates Govern.
ment Interference in Strikes.

Harry Phillips. first honorary president
Of the Coal Porters' Union OF England.
made a short address yesterday afternoon
10 the members OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association at the West ed street
branch on the subject OF industrial peace.
Mr.. Phillips who for years has been as
s0cated with labor unions OF all kinds in
England. said that there were two ways
o. settling disputes between the employer
and the employed. Labor war. or strikes.
resulting i'm the loss Of work to hundreds
Of thousands Of men. he said should he
stopped and all differences should he set
tied peacefully between the master and
his men by conference.
Corporate ownership and co-partnership
between an individual or firm and the
workers. according to Mr.. Phillips. is the
surest way Of doing away with strikes.
This. he said. has been tried In England,
the workers having a share in the firm 3
stock and sitting on the board Of direc-
tors. taking an interest in the work from
which they derived both salary and diyi-
dends on their investment.
II really believe" said Mr.. Phillips
that in the great dock strike In England
last year, and i'm this coal strike. the gov
ernment would have been justified IN step.

.PINCH0T'S DEMOCRATIC TALK
Advocates Policies Enunciated
by Bryan Fifteen Years Ago.
[ From The Tribune Bureau.


Washington. March 3l.-Gifford Pinchot,
speaking in behalf OF the candidacy Of
Theodore Roosevelt for the Presidency, ad-
dressed an audience in Morgantown W.
Va. last Monday night. The New Domin
ion" the Democratic newspaper of Nor
gantown, in it's issue of Tuesday morning,
March 26. says:
Mr.. Pinchot made the best Democratic
speech heard In Morgantown In many wears
and with a very few, II any exceptions
contended strongly for the policies and prin-
ciples enunciated by Mr.. Bryan twelve Or
fifteen years ago. His remarks were large.
ly In the nature of scathng arraignment
Of the Taft administration and the Taft ar
titude on public questions. He saw no
virtue whatever In the policy OF the Presi-
dent, and declared that he would prefer a
progressive Democrat as President in place
of President Taft, provided. OF course his
friend and patron, Colonel Roosevelt can
not be nominated and elected.
Mr.. Pinchot was very clear and positiye
on this point, and did not hesitate to max.
his position 30 plain that none can misIIn.
derstand II. He Is unalterably opposed to
the election OF another President of tho
Taft type, no matter with what ticket his
name Is coupled. His declarations in favor
OF reforms were so clearly I'm line with rho
contentious OF Mr.. Bryan that the Demo-
Gratis I'm the audience were most freouentIy
stirred TO applause.
