PLAYED CARDS IN GRAVEYARD
oid-Tims Practice Was Until Recent
" INDUCED In At Least One Place
In the United Kingdom.

There is churchyard in the Bor.
ough Of st. Marylebone, London, in
which tombstone is pointed out to
visitors as the one on which Hogarth's
idle apprentice" threw dice. Atten-
ton has Just been called to the fact
that this practice of gambling on
tombstones has come down to the
present day In at least one graveyard
In the United Kingdom.
A lawsuit Just decided has stopped
the practice In the churchyard Of
Dungarvan, an Irish village, where
some Of the inhabitants were In the
habit Of playing cards OH the slabs
placed over graves and Of dancing to
the music Of an accordion. The rep
resentative church body was the COM
plainant In the case. l sought and
obtained an Injunction against sixteen
persons, restraining them from tres
passing upon the battle-ground and
premises adjacent to the Church Of st.
Mary. The master Of rolls, who heard
the case, held that this privilege was
one OF permission. and not right. and
that a churchyard was dedicated to
the service of God, and not to the REQ
reation Of man.
In the days before the Reformation
authorities say, the parish churchyard
was used as public playground.
Games and revels were commonly
held there on Sundays and holidays.
At Whitsuntide there was sort Of
church fair, held in graveyards. at
which ale brewed by the church war

card-playing and bowls we're per-

dress to the Chicago convention. AT
different times and in many connec,

before. He made the mistake at the
outset in attempting to deal with too
many subjects, and in using too many
words in dealing with each. Thus
the address will appear verbatim in
very few papers. 1t is too long to
be admitted to the great journals in
the shape in which he wrote 1t. Elk

THE PRESIDENTS
VETOES.

Ogden Examiner: 1t is evident the
Presidents political enemies will try
to make capital out of the fact that he
has used the veto power a good many
times.
They are welcome to all the bene-
fit they can derive from that sort of
campaign
The constitution vests the Presi-
dent with the power Of writing his
disapproval OF legislation which, in
his judgment, should not become law.
In President Taft's judgment, these
bills that came to him, and went
back with his veto, were unwise. And
he did not approve them. He did
not take even the side stepper's meth
cd of letting them become law with
out his approval or disapproval-as &
weak or shifty man might have done
as a seeker for subterfuge would have
done; as player to the galleries
might have done. He vetoed them.
In none OF the veto messages Il
there word of Ill temper. In nom
is there the slightest tendency to &C

FALSE PRETENSE
ON TRUSTS.

Salt Lake Tribune: The amazing eff.
frontery of the Roosevelt campaign is
nowhere so fully in evidence as in its
deceptive claim that the Roosevelt,
candidacy Is against the trusts and
the combines, and in favor of re.eas
ing the people from their oppression
of these trusts and monopolies. When
we consider the fact that Roosevelt
was the man who agreed in deian, e
of the law that the Steel Trust should
absorb the Tennessee Coal & Iron
immunity from prosecution for vic.
lation of law, the absurdity of any
claim of service to the people as
against the trusts on Roosevelts
part is abundantly evident.
When added to this, we see that
the Roosevelt campaign, estimated
now to cost 100000 this being SC
enormously in excess of any expendi
lures in Presidential campaign ev
er made heretofore in this country as
to be dumfounding and when we note
that Mr.. Perkins, active spirit of the
Harvester Trust and a member OF he
executive board of the Steel Trust
Is treasurer of and is financing the
Roosevelt campaign, the effrontery o.
the Roosevelt claim OF opposition tC
the trusts is so startling as to be al
most beyond belief.
When we add to this the declara
ton of Col. Roosevelt that in his opin
ion the Sherman antitrust law wat
never meant to be enforced, a faiI
j. measure of the "trust.busting" to b,
expected from Roosevelt adminIstra
: ton may easily be taken.

VALUE OF FARM CROPS
IN THE UNITED
STATES.

Pocatello Tribune: A report from
Washington says that the total val.
ue of the crops of continental United
States in 1909 was in round numbers
IS, 4S7, 100000, as compared with ST..
999 ,0O0, 900 in 1899. The increase was
thus $2,4SS,OOO,O0O or SO per cent,
according to a statement issued today
by e. Dana Durand, director of the
bureau Of the census department Of
commerce and labor. The tabulations
showing these total results we're car.
ried on in the agricultural division of
the bureau of the census, under the
supervision of l.. G. Powers, former
chief statistician, and ]. l.. Coulter,
expert special agent. A bulletin upon
which this advance statement is based

duction and value of all crops for the

sued at an early date.
In the case of some crops( such as
maple sugar and syrup and forest pro
ducts of farms), it is impossible to Sc.
cure disable figure showing acreage;
in certain other cases (such as orch.
ard, fruits, grapes, tropical fruits and
nuts), the number of trees and vines
and not of bearing age is secured in
lieu of acreage. The value of the
crops for which reports of acreage
/ $4,953, 100000 or nearly nine-tenths OF
the value of all crops. At the census
of 1900 the corresponding value was
( S2,721 100000 or about the same per
cent of the value of all crops. The
total acreage of crops with acreage
reports in 1909 was 81, $4,000. In
April, 1910 the land in farms in the
I United States was reported by the
census as 67S,79S,000 acres of which
47S,452,000 acres were improved. The
crops with acreage reports therefore
occupied 35.4 per cent of the total
land in farms and 65.1 per cent OF
the total improved land. The same
crops in 1899 occupied 2S3,21S,00C
acres, which was 1873 per cent OF
all land in farms and 6S3 per cent
of the improved land. While the to
tai acreage of farms increased As
per cent, the acreage in these crops
increased 90 per cent between 1895
and 1909. The improved land not oc
cupied by the crops specified consists
chiefly of land in improved pastures
land occupied by fruit and nut trees
and vines, for which acreage was no
reported, improved land lying fallov
and land in house yards and barn
yards.
The total value of crops in 1906
was equal to 1896 per capita of tn,
population of the United States, Will,
the value per capita in 1899 wa

were 6,361, 500 farms in the Unite,

tain to catch the fancy of the thought
less, who will not stop to consider in
what direction the progress Is to be
made. or whether it leads to prosper.
ity o. straight to bankruptcy
But certainly in California, at least
the progress" is to be along very
crooked road, for while proclaiming
themselves "Progressives"-w whatever
that means-and declaring their in
tention to defeat the Republican par
ty II they can, they still propose to
use their power to steal and make
use of the name Republican to accom-
plish their ends.
And the only justification which
they make of themselves is the as
sumption that the fact that a major.
ity voted at the primary for Roosevelt
as a Republican candidate is evidence
that that majority was ready to bolt
the Republican nomination II their
candidate was not nominated.
Nobody can truthfully call that
honest or fit to be done by any one
pretending to be honest. Even If IL
were true that majority Of Repub
leans in Idaho were ready to leave
the Republican party, those who re
main are entitled to the Republican
name and its exclusive use on tho
ticket at the general election.
Colonel Roosevelt announces that
every Republican nominee must
pledge himself to vote for him should
the election be thrown into the house
under penalty of being opposed by
candidate who Is so pledged.
That is a fair example of ''Progres.
sive" methods in overriding every law
which stands in their way. Under
the law of the United States, eny
candidate for congress who shall 50
pledge himself would commit fell
ony. and would go to prison instcp''
of congress. But all seems to be fish
which comes to the Bull Moose net.
The whole Roosevelt movement is
based on accusation without proof, or
even attempt at proof, of a great
body of American citizens whose
character and integrity are equal to
that of any other body of citizens.
There are no specifications to which
definite reply can be made, but merely
general assertions that both the old
parties have become tools Of corrupt
interests" and that the Rooseveltians
are the only honest people left in
the United States.
And they boldly proclaim that
wherever they can they will steal an
other partys name and do politics
with It.
The Tribune emphatically denies
that all the Republicans and all tie
Democrats are either corrupt or me
tools of corruptionists.
