Mr. Newell continued: In reeAru
10 the first question, Is government
reclamation a failure? No. il Is not a
failure II Is possible that too much
was expected and il is probably true
that results have not been as rosy as
was predicted by some OF the more
enthusiastic forecasters. particularly
the writer's of prospectuses for prl-
vately owned irrigation enterprises.
The answer TO the question. so far as
the government project is concerned,
is found In few facts and figures.
For instance, there are now $4,000 ir-
rigation farms being worked. This
means that there are $4,000 families
living on irrigated lands. This repre-
sents a general farm population OF
about $4,000 people. exclusive OF the
little town settlements which have
grown up and are dependent upon the
rural industry certain measure or
success is indicated by the fact that
these people are getting their living
in this way They will, OF course,
eventually become that many thou
sand owners OF farms producing an in
come great enough 10 support each an
average family: In other words. these
families will at the end OF 10 years
have achieved economic indepen-
dence. In what other line OF indus
try can a man or woman-for women
do IL too-start with two or three
thousand dollars and al the end OF
10 years be certain OF economic indie
pendence?
You ask how many farms are I'M
settled, that is, how many are ready
for settlers which have not been
taken up Our last report shows that
there are only 44i, and for these
farms, If we made any effort In the
way OF publicity, We could have a
thousand applicants within a month.
But the great problem now Is to get
good settlers The trouble with this
proposition has arisen from a desire
OF many Of the people who took up
these farms TO speculate. Thee want
ed TO cash in an unearned value, as
people have done so often In dealing
with other lands. 1t is hard to get
over the habit OF specializing In real
estate values. Some Of them did NOT
want TO become permanent farmers,
or TO settle and work permanently on
these lands, yet that Is the only way
In which these farms can be made .

THE VANISHING QUACK.

There are 10000 fewer medical students today
than eight years ago. There are fifty less medical
colleges-so -socaed-than then.
Yet the death rate is on the decline and the stand
ard of health is higher.
Translated. it means the quack is passing, the
fake medical college is being outlawed, and medical
science is being used to prevent disease rather than
cure it.
The physician is always the butt OF jibes and in
many cases the object of suspicion, yet there is not
profession or calling that is more unsel6sh and
more ethical.

There Are No Dead" by Sophie Rad

unusual. being messages from departed
spirits set down and written in an un-
usual way. but it has the rare distinc-
ton OF being indisputable even without
an attempt of proof on the part of the
author-for the simple reason that no
one in all Of the world knows the truth
about this matter to the satisfaction of
all of the other inhabitants.
Whether these utterances were really
heard, or whether they are the fruits
of a most wonderful imagination, can
not be said-they come from the lips OF
many persons of note, now residing on
the higher plane. and all reiterate the
promise OF a life beyond.
The terrible sense of remoteness and
desolation which possesses the hearts
and minds of those whose friends have
departed is sought to be destroyed by
this work, by showing that from pur.
poseless slumber. the dead lead a life
of activity and helpfulness. One must
be quite an enthusiast, however. to be
able to take the De Meissner book with.

started she is lloyd georgng it at steadily acceler
sting pace The arbtrators appointed to fix value
upon the National Telephone Company have just
agreed on S62,5oo,o00 as a fair price. 1t took
seveny-three days of investigation and arguments
by counsel to arrive at this result, and henceforth
the telephones of England will be under government
ownership and management. Thus does the socaliz-

IS A TooTHLEss AGE AHEAD?

More trouble! In 200 A. D.. according to the
prediction of the Norwegian dentist who addressed
a clinic in Minneapolis, man will be toothless and
jawless. Even marsnmallow will be beyond his
powers of mastication. ~,
Eating too much soft food and cutting meat into
tiny bits with knife in the luxurious dining rooms
of pampered civilization gives the back teeth no
exercise Lifting the food with a fork prevents the
front teeth from performing the normal function OF
tearing.
One way of averting the evil consequences, it is
pointed out is to teach no table mauers" to chill
dren until tey are thirteen or fourteen years old
II they have used their molars and ncisors like little
animals up to that period, they will be pretty safe
from the dentist and can then be taught the con-
ventions of society.
This last piece of advice is in line with what pfy
sicians and dentists throughout the country have
often advised, although the age limit is usually put
much lower. If very young children were permitted
to tear their food more, and were not allowed te
acquire the candy habit early, the number OF pain
full interviews with the dentist in later life would
be materially decreased.

NEW BALKAN SITUATION.

The overthrow of the Turkish ministry and the
riotng which has broken out in Constantinople and
elsewhere cannot very we'll save for the Ottoman
rule any of the European empire that has already
been lost On the contrary, the state of affairs
is very sure to provoke vigorous action by the great
Powers Sir Edward Grey, British secretary of state
for foreign affairs has already urged the ambassa-
dors of other governments take hold of the matter
In any event Turkey will not gain anything by
what might be called the revolution against peace.
What is to be expected though military operations be
renewed. is not so much a new lease of European
life for Turkey as later complications in the settle
ment of affairs in the Balkans some basis incud-
ing intervention BY the great Powers. In other
words. a new Balkan situation as regards Europe,
but not Turkey.
Out of the prolonged naggling that led to the
London surrender has the patent fact that the
Powers had determined to eliminate Turkey from
consideration in the Near Eastern question. For
wears her presence in Europe has been regarded as
an evil necessary to the maintenance of general
peace. Now new local superintendency of Balkan
affairs has been decreed Revolution or no revolu-
ton. consent or dissent Turkey must swallow her
bitter international pill.
But by the new turn of affairs there is sharpen

WHY COURTS ARE CRITICISED.

MARYLAND has just produced one more of the all
too numerous justications for the current dsposi-
ton TO criticse the courts and entertain misgvngs
concerning them.
In August, 1911, almost year and half ago,
primaries were neld in Maryland The old political
machine swept the Democratic precincts OF Balti-
more on the face of the returns. Later, charges OF
gross irregularity led to the examination Of the bal
lots and it proved that the returns as certified by
the election officials bore relation whatever to the
votes cast the judges and clerks sent in the figures
that we're needed carry the town for the machine
The ballots might just we'll not have been cast at
all so far as concerned their influence the figures
The grand jury indicted 244 election officials,
and in due timerather, in overdue time, for 1t was
not till a year after the offenses-a small group of
the officials were tried, convicted, and given heavy
sentences
Then, of course, the cases were carried higher.
Now the court Of appeals has sent them back for
retria and Baltimore is going through fit of pro-
digious disgust The retria will be before another
Judge than the one who imposed the stiff sentences
following the former trial.
1t is not very material, the public views such
affairs, whether the blame for such miscarriage of
Justice lies with the court the courts officials, the
procedure, or excessive devotion to technicalities
The point is that year and half after the wrong
was DONE the matter stands just where it did at the
beginning. The expense must 60 on, the delay will
continue, the chance of guilty men ultimately escap-
ing adequate or any punishment will be increased.
Is it any wonder tnat courts are no longer i'm
mune TO criticism?
