districts of Eastern Bengal The government
denies this.
The announcement of the great changes has
had at least one effect that is already arpar-
ent; it has immensely impressed Hindus and
Mohammedans alike with the power Of the
emperor Although King George stated at the
Durbar that he was acting on the advice OF MS
ministers, this seems to have been ignored by
the mass of his subjects, who felt that here
was ruler indeed whose lightest whim was
law, and who could change at a word the
foundations of government and the established
order of generations suppose that few off,
cial announcements have ever been more dra-
matte. Perhaps a dozen men out of India's
300 600 900 were in the secret, and to the rest
the declaration came with the surprising force
of a revelation.
It is precisely for this reason that anxiety is
felt over the ultimate reception Of the propos-
ais by the Indian people. When the awe
caused by the visible presence of the sovereign
has passed away, it is feared that fierce opposi-
ton may break out in many quarters. The
original partition Of Bengal was thought at the
time to be an innocent measure, but it stirred
up disloyalty in half of India, turned two
provinces into hotbeds of sedition and pro-
voked series of anarchistic crimes which has
not yet come to an end The present changes
claim to be purely administrative, but the Pc
culiarly secret and arbitrary way in which
they were determined may prove an excuse for
new discomfort. More than one English official
who was at the Durbar expressed the opinion
that the next year or two would see another
wave of anarchy and sedtion incomparably
greater than anything India has yet known.
The government does not hold this view. 1t re-
mains to be seen who Is right
Two important facts, in any case, have been
made clear by the publication Of the dis
patches. The first is that India is at last be-
ing governed once more from India and not
from London, as was the case when Lord Mimic
was viceroy and Lord Morley secretary of state
The entire scheme for the change Of capital
and redistribution of provinces originated at
Simla and was embodied in dispatch from
the central government to Lord Crewe, who
accepted the proposal without a change. 1t
would be interesting to know whether Lord
Hardinge or his council are principally re-
sponsible for the undertaking If the for
mer proves to be the case, current views OF
the new viceroy will have to be revised. 1t
argues more than a little courage and initia-
tive in a man who has been in India barely
year to risk his official reputation on such
hazardous measure.
The other fact disclosed by the dispatches
is an important intimation of Engand's policy
regarding the future government of India. Lord
Hardnge and his associates state in SO many

words that the only solution of the Indian sit
uation lies in the practical autonomy OF the
provincial governments. In other words, the
old bureaucratic regime which began with the
first victories of Give and the taking over OF
the Bengal diwani by Warren Hastings is
confessed at least to be a failure Decentral1z
alton is to be the watchword from this time
onward new India is gradually to be form
er. on the model on Canada. 1t will consist OF
a group of confederated states, financially IN
dependent and legislating for themselves IN To-
cal matters but subject to the control OF the
central government in imperial affairs. In
name there will probably be little change, for
the government of India is slow to move and
conservative yet this is, badly stated, the sig
MITIGATION of the plan. At the same time
further extension of the principle of sef-gov-
eminent is indicated. To judge from the words
of the dispatch, the central authorities are at
last alive to the fact that the government OF
India must not only be for the Indians, but to
a large extent by them, If it hopes to endure
Lord Hardinges words foreshadow a speedy
enlargement of the elective element in the leg
islative councils and are the most important
announcement in this respect that has been
heard since Lord Morley made public his dec
laration to grant his famous reforms
The general effect of the kings visit seems
to have been strengthening the loyalty of the
Indian people to a degree that surpassed
expectations. The wonderful spectacle or
the Durbar made a profound impression, and
when the king and queen later stood on the
wall of the fort in Delhi and received the
homage of an adoring crowd Of more than
100000 natives 1t is said that the scene was
indescrbable. Gray-bearded men bowed them
selves to the ground and others wept for JOY
and mothers held up their babies above their
heads to see and be blessed by the emperor.
An incident that happened at the laying of the
first stones of the new capital gained the king
a great reputation among the people. AS he
was about to touch one of the stones with his
golden trowel he noticed that It was not quite
straight and asked the master mason to bring
it into better alignment. The ceremony was
stopped for a few minutes while this was
done The story spread like wildfre through
the bazars, and was accepted an omen by
the natives who now firmly credit their en-
peror with almost supernatural powers Of dis
cernment and determination to establish the
foundations of his city SO surely that 1t Will
last through all the ages to come.
No seditious attempts were made on the life
of the king, although the murder of police
inspector in Eastern Bengal the night before
the Durbar gave eloquent testimony to the fact
that disloyalty still exists in some sections OF
the population The release or remission Of
sentence of over $50 political prisoners was
move Of the kings, which added to his popular
ity, while his concessions to the native army
and the grant of money for the extension OF ed

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the ResoIvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
it has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book. will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti.
cura," Dept. L, Boston.

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
Of all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, big margin of profit.
OF course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and fax marketed to the 1st of
January, 1912, there was gross rev.
enue Of $75, 384,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to SOL $4,000 or Fl million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 90 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another siXty-five mil
lion dollars following for inferior
grades), besides about $50 million
bushels Of oats to say nothing Of bar
ley and fax, which would run into sew
eral million of dollars.
There is a great thrush Of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards of $4,000 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go SO far away as the
demonstrating area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early spring, it
is safe to predict a record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure copy.

From the point of view of climate also,
there Is no doubt that Delhi possesses great ad-
vantages over Calcutta To the newcomer In
India Calcutta is described as having one hot
month and eleven-hot months, whereas the
cold weather of Delhi is delightful
Another important feature OF the proposed
change is that the position of Delhi will re-
move the headquarters of the government from
the environment of what is known in India
as the Bengal element This type Of super
educated Indian native has undoubtedly been
responsible in no small measure for the aglta-
ton caused by the partition of Bengal This
innovation was initiated by Lord Curzon ano
though the agitation against it was never really
popular or in any sense national, yet this noisy
2engali element succeeded in raising clamor
quite out of all proportion to their actual num-
beps, aided as they were by the vernaculaF
presa The further partition of Bengal re-
Gently announced, may have the advantage OF
further decentralization of the unwieldy ma
chine of teeming millions already divided by
Curzon's action.
Another great advantage in the change OF
the capital is the fact that Delhi is undoubted-
Iy much more in the center of the fighting
races than Calcutta. The great native princes
much more easily can assemble there. The
Shikh and the Rajput princes are nearby
the Maharajah of Kashmir, the Gaekwar of
Baroda the important NiZain of Hyderabad,
and the head of that well governed state of
Mysore, are mostly at great distance away,
and these all undoubtedly will welcome the

These are questions which Indians and Eng

made by the king as anything but final, there

GREAT ERA OF PROSPERITY EVIDENT.

The election of Woodrow Wilson as president was long
ago discounted Early last spring when the machine OF
the regular Republican organization showed that it was
the purpose of that organization to subver the will OF the
rank and file of that party it became evident that the
Democratic nominee, whoever he might be, would be
elected the next president.
That view of the political situation strengthened
and made certainty when the Chicago convention deb-
erately aside the will of the people and frauduenty
gave the nomination for the party to Taft After Roose
welt was made the nominee of the Progressive party be-
came cerainty that he would receive vastly greater
popular vote than would Taft but there at time
came certainty of his election There strong lndl
cations of landslide in his favor and in that event his
friends hoped for his election The landslide did not
sufficient proportions and the result was that those
who preferred to condone and forgive the theft OF
nation and vote for the beneficiary of that theft out OF
feeling of loyalty to party which superior to loyalty
country loyalty to honesty and morality made the
election of Wilson certainty
Because of these plain political conditions business
many months ago became reconcied to the approaching
change in governmental affairs and there has been
business disturbance and is safe to say there will be
none but that the contrary there will be gradual but
steady improvement all along the line The railroads
have enjoyed such traffic they have to handle
the country their rates high enough to them
great profits they able to pay their employees good
wages; all other business in the country is the hum
there greater demand for all classes OF manufactured
goods than the factories supply and conditions gen
orally are in a like condition.
Never, at rate within recent years. has there
before been national election fought out with little
disturbance to business The issues moral and
social than otherwise and business perhaps for good
reasons felt that the less butted into the ARRAY the bet
ter it would be for the business
Conditions ripe for OF the greatest perma-
nent and substantial prosperity that the country has
known and there why Idaho should not share
in proper proportion with the rest Of the country.
