AMERICAN FARM SCHOOLS.
Times Democrs

Times Democrat:
In agriculture, as in other lines, we
in America are often told that "they do
things better abroad" An American
commission is now in Europe studying
the foreign system of farm credits
and other American investigators are
abroad studying other features of the
farming problem. 1t is pleasant on
this account to learn that a party of
Englishmen has been in this country
studying the American agricultural
schools and to find them pronouncing
these schools the best of their kind in
the world.
According to the New York Journal
of Commerce member of the visiting
party declares that the American agri-
cultural colleges must be duplicated in
England. He is particularly impress
ed by the work of Wisconsin's great
college, and declares that "the unrival-
ed position of Wisconsin in the produc-
ton of cheese and butter is the direct
result of scientific teaching happily
welded to prudent legislation" He
finds the "book-teaching" of agricul-
ture thoroughly practical" and admits
that it is adding millions to the wealth
of the United States.
The development of agricultural
schools in the United States has been
surprisingly rapid. Just a few years
ago the book-taught farmer was one of
our stock jokes. To-day the agricul-
tural college no longer satisfies the de-
mand for farm training, and agricul-
tural high schools are being establish
ed in the farming states. The frugal,
Industrious foreign farmer can still
teach us a good many things that he
and his ancestors have learned under
the pressure of necessity. But he owes
most of his labor-saving farm machin-
cry to American ingenuity-and the
coming generation of book-taught
American farmers not improbably will
be able to beat him in the very lines
wherein he seems now to hold mar.
gin of superiority.

WANTS MERGER DISSOLVED.

Attorney-general Collins of Missis.
sippi will try to break the merger be-
tween the Illinois Central and the va
zoo and Mississippi Valley railroads.
He files bill in chancery at Clarks-
dale, Coahoma county, attacking the
legality of the merger and consolida-
ton of these lines. The bill alleges
that the merger is a violation of the
antitrust laws of the state; that it is
combine and trust; that they are
parallel and competing lines; that they
are injuring the country through which
they operate; that they are injuring
the cities of New Orleans and Memphis
and all towns between; that the Illi-
nois Central is using the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley as tool; that all
the rolling stock is owned by the ILL
nois Central and is operated to the
detriment of the valley road; that the
valley road is used as money-maker
for the Illinois Central, contrary to the
laws of the State of Mississippi and in
violation of section 4057 of the Code,
which states that "it shall be unlawful
for any railroad company to colsoli-
date with parallel or competing rail.
road company or to allow it's affairs to
be in any manner managed, regulated
or controlled by any such parallel or
competing railroad company, or permit
it's affairs to be so managed, regulated
or controlled by the same person or
persons, etc."
He claims in addition other viola-
tons of the Code.

GOVERNOR, THE STATES AGENT

Lake Charles American Press:
Former Governor Sanders was fond
of describing himself as the business
agent of the people of Louisiana, and
the phrase accurately describes the
governors duties. A business agent
whose subordinates openly defied his
policies or labored secretly against
them, would be foolish to tolerate
them a moment longer than he could
help. The governor of Louisiana has
enough open political foes to combat
without exposing himself to political
assassination from the inside. Of
course the patriots who are ousted
grieve vociferously, but the public is
beginning to comprehend the basis of
such grievances.

N. o. States:
Those persons who opposed a tariff
commission will find justification for
their attitude now that it is known
that the "insidious lobby" had it plan
ned to control effectively any tariff
commission, and thus delay tariff re-
duction. But the thing that the aver
age citizen will think most about will
be the revelation that men of culture
and ability and of refinement and high
standing in the business and social
world were willing to secure dictator.
