FARMING THE WAY OF REASON

In the light of the facts as to the
growth of population in the nation,
the tagging production of the farms
and the swelling prices of the product,
the cry, Back to the farm" has
more than a sentimental reason and
more than a social reason. Advice
Is resented by most men; they follow
their own liking unworried over the
general good; but when they find that
there is more money to be made on
the farm than in the town, then there
Is hope. The man in the shop may
in time let the high price of butter
and eggs dig into his thought as it
does into his pocket. He may reason
In slow process that he ought to
be on the other end of the butter
and egg market. Having gained that
conclusion, if his habits have not
robbed him of capacity for initiative
he may go out and find the farm that
awaits him. But he should not wait
long. Let him move soon.
The price of the farm is moving al
ready. New England farm lands are
easily worth double what they were q
score Of years ago. Instances Of re-
ally productive lands selling at three
times their former price can be cited
There are regions where $40 is being
paid by thrifty Polish people for the
years use of an acre of land that
could have been bought ten years ago
for 800.
The reason for this state of things
is not local nor provincial; it is ma
tional In one decade the population
Of America increased 81 per cent. In
the same period the total valume of
all farm products increased about 2
per cent. But in the same period the
value Of those farm products increased
$50 per cent. This sort of thing did
not come about in ten years. Con-
slider what thirty years did-increased
the amount of wheat growth 40 per
cent but increased the people to con-
sumo the wheat In double that ratio.
Statistics gain the force of compell-
ing argument when they talk like that
They put in the gross what is COM
ing home to men in their own af-
fairs. They describe the need of Or
ganized movement in nation and state
and city TO present the farm attrac-
tion, the substantial! inducement to
the town-dwellers who have all TO gain
in getting back to the sosil. Stats
tics get their greatest force as plain
instruction to men that they are vic
Tins of an unbalanced distribution OF
energy. In time their direction will
be needed. What public-spirited or
ganization can do is to accelerate the
process.-Christian Science Monitor.

CURRAY WOULD TAKE MEXICO

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 90
American Intervention in Mexico is
imperative-it must come now or la
ter" declared Representative Curray
Of New Mexico, at the White house
today. Treatment accorded Ameri-
can citizens and their interests in the
southern republic at the present time
and during the past years is a de-
mand for action by this government"
Curray admitted that the United
States should at once throw adequate
military force into Mexico, capture
Mexico City and then wage a cam
paign for the three rich northern
states of the republic-Senora, Chi
huahua, and Coahuila, looking to their
annexation to the United States.
Rear Admiral Bronson, who called
on President Taft today, declared he
was opposed, absolutely to American
invention in Mexico.
"It would take take 100000 troops
years to capture Mexico, and mean the
expenditure Of billion dollars" he
declared. al believe that is the view
Of the situation taken by President

SPEEDY JUSTICE IN MISSISSIPPI

GULFPoRT.. Miss, Feb. 2O.-No
ground for complaint of the delays Of
the law is to be found in the case
of Percy Newkirk, negro, who is
under sentence to be hanged here to-
morrow. Just four weeks will have
elapsed between the murder of which
the negro was convicted and his exs-
cution. On the morning of ain. 81,
Newkirk shot and killed Chief of Po-
lice Charles Dickey. He was imme-
diately arrested and confessed to the
crime. Within three hours he was
placed on trial and an hour later he
was convicted and sentenced to death.
The jury was out less than three min
utes. The speed with which the trial
was conducted was due to the desire
of the authorities to avoid possible
lynching.

PARCEL POST PAYS IN DENVER

DENVER Feb. 20.-The parcel post
department of the Denver station has
been so lucrative venture Of Uncle
Sans in the first forty-five days fol.
lowing its Inauguration, that Post
master Harrison favors 25 per cent
reduction in rates.
In this, he takes a similar stand te
that of the postmaster general, who
only the other day recommended te
congress- lowering of the prssen,
rates and an extension of weight.
'If the record Of this office is q
criterion l am sure that the presen,
rates are too high by from 20 TO 81
per cent" said Harrison.
'In many ways George Kindel IL
right continued the postmaster

him one better and told him that al

Another big item of consideration
for the Denver patrons of the parce
post is the designation Of its twenty
six so-called contract stations as par

SENATE DEADLOCK IN ILLINOIS

PEORIA, ILL.,, Feb 2O.-New com.
plieations are expected to arise in the
senatorial deadlock at Springfield, Ill.
as the result of the publication here
today of letter from James Hamil-
ton Lewis, Democratic primary choice
for United States senator, in which
Lewis criticises Woodrow Wilson fol
his attitude toward Colonel Harvey
editor of Harper's Weekly, and othei
men who helped him win the nomina-
tion and election. Lewis, it is alleged
wroter the letter to Leigh Reilly OF
the Chicago Post, dated Nov. 20, but
it never was published.
Lewis says Illinois Democrats at
tempted to get Wilson to promise
Lewis an ambassadorship if he would
withdraw from the race in Illinois, q
proposition which Lewis declined and
denounced.
Lewis begins his comment with a
discussion of Wilson'S treatment OF
Colonel Harvey of Harper's Weekly
He says Harvey with the North
American Review, brought Wilson ou,
as candidate for the presidency; that
Senator James w. Smith spent $4,000
of his money in electing Wilson gov
ernor with the understanding that
Wilson would support Smith for the
senate; that Wilson'S friends saw 8
chance to make bid for popularity
in the west by supporting MARITIME
for senator in obedience to the pri.
mary and respect for the will of the
people.
The letter continues:
at is stated that those who are now
controlling President-elect Wilson are
his new found friends and are those
who were either for Bryan against
Wilson, ready to nominate Bryan il
the convention, or of those who fought
Wilson under the guidance of Hearst
ceaselessly and only lately became hi:
advocates. All of these things are
being referred to in detail and it i.
being prophesied that Wilson will
prove to be what Grover CLEVELAND
was in the first ADMINISTRATION
president who appointed to office new
found friends whose particular recorc
was the want of activity either fol
the man when he was a candidate fol
the office or for the candidate wher
he was seeking election. 1t is charged
that President-elect Wilson will take
the position that Cleveland took, tha
political activity of a partisan ma
ture robbed the person of the equilib
rum and impartial attitude of mine
necessary to that official. Many mer
who have been so active in the matter
of the nomination of Wilson have late
ly been snubbed in their efforts tc
seek recognition"
