since 1t established the right of
the inhabitants of each Territory
to decide for themselves whether
the state should come into the
Union free or slave.
Immediately after the passage
of the Kansas Nebraska bill. the
political cauldron began TO bub-
BILE and boil; Kansas became the
storm center of the conflict of
border ruffianism and free
soilism; propaganda clashed with
propaganda In actual battle, pro-
slavery being in the ascendant
one day and anti-slavery the
next, until finally the ants won
out and Bleeding Kansas took
her place in the Union as a free

u. S. Should Not Be a
Workshop or a Re
formatory.

Each one of these qualities may
be determinative within certain
limits, but without answering the
full requirement.
Still less ought our country to
be regarded by us or the rest of
the world as hospital for the
sick, Il poorhouse for the impecu-
NOUS, workshop for the unem-
ployed, a retreat for the oppress-
ed. an asylum for the fugitive or
a reformatory for the depraved.
Unwise altruism is as deplora-
BILE as sagacious selfishnessI
No man should be received
from abroad who is physically, in
tellectually or morally below the
average tone Of the country.
Every such one lowers the tone
of the nation and to that degree
dlsqualifies it for fulfilling it's
mission to the world.
So the principle we are con-
tending for is not urged from
motives of self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
but in the interest of wider and
more efficient beneficence.
1t is this principle that is in
sisted upon in every wisely ad-
ministered household.
The private house has it's doors,
which are kept shut and locked.
No one is allowed to cross the
threshold from outside without
careful personal inspection.
And still more is no one al
lowed to become more than
transient occupant of the home
If of a character to depress the
quality of the home or infect in
any way any of its members.

We Should Do Proper
Thing Without Be
ing Made.

The commandments ordained
in Scripture and in one form or
another re-enacted by Legisls-
ture, constitute the cages in
which, like so many wild beasts
in a menagerie, we are severally
Gagged. Every time that man
refrains from doing what he
would do we're there no restraint
put upon him by the laws of God
or of the State or of his own
conscience.
He is simply in the situation OF
a captive lion pacing up and
down before the iron grating in a
geological garden and peerins
through the stats half hungrily
and half resentfully.
He may not voice his impa'
thence and resentment in howls
as undomesticated hyena-s do but
in spirit he bowls, even if he hat
too much respect for himself and
for society to make his tribula-
lions audible.
Till We take so much pleasure
in doing right that no legal or
moral restraint becomes neces-
sary we are still in the ZOO.

MAN AND MONKEY.

T. c. F.-You are mistaken in
maintaining that Darwin taught
the doctrine that man sprang
from the monkey tribe, Darwin
nowhere says any such thing.
His teachings, while resting upon
the development" or evolution
theory nowhere assert that
mankind sprang from the simian
breed, except in a way that need
give us no alarm. The consan-
guinity is so remote that no blush
need come to our faces in think
ing upon the subject 1t is high
time that the great English think
er was cleared of the vulgar in
situation that has for so long
been thrown out against him.

By DIR. CHARLES H. PARKHURST

TIME idea has been earnestly
cherished by great many
of our people that the Unit
ed States exists for a world
wide purpose; that our destiny
will not be accomplished by
merely becoming a great nation
ourselves, except as that great
ness becomes an influence and an
inspiration telling upon all the
rest of the nations.
This ambition, which is GER
tainly a laudable one, stands in
very distinct relation to the ques-
ton of immigration, and to the
policy which, as a nation, we
ought to adopt relative to the in
PRODUCTION or the exclusion of the
foreign element.
Professor Fairchild, of Yale
University, has recently discuss
ed this question in a fashion that
is broad and statesmanly. Immi-
grafton is one of our great ma
tional problems that need to be
solved in the light of considera-
lions that are CORRESPONDENCE
great.
The doors of admission to our
country ought not to be opened to
an applicant on the basis merely
Of the money which he can show,
nor of his physical or intellectual
productiveness, nor of his ability
to meet the industrial demands of
any section of the country. Not

An Anticipated Rule.

AL Autlq ltGCeu hule.
The Anticipated rule of unlimit-
ed parliamentary debate has rest
ed for a long while on the argu-
ment of precedent. The prece-
dents OF the world now, intellec-
tual and parliamentary are all
against the folly and injustice of
It. The precedents in each of the
New England States. in every
Atlantic State, in every Gulf
State, in every Pacific State, in
every Rocky Mountain State, in
every Mississippi Valley State,
and in every State bordering on
CaEada are against unlimited de-
bate or the minority veto. What
Senator from any OF these States
will venture TO say that the prece-
dents of his State are unsound,
unwise and clamoring for repeal?
The precedent of every munich
pal government. big and little, in
the United States is against the
right OF minority veto by inter-
minable debate.
The House Of representative
is against it.
The rule CT the majority is the
rule Of all English speaking par
liaments. Gladstone was its adj
vocate in England.
In France the cloture is moved
by one or more members crying
La cloture!" from the floor. In
Germany the ma jority rules, and
30 members can order the clo-
ture. in Austria Hungary mo-
tons for the close of the debate
are put to vote at once, without
question, by the president. 1t is
the same N Belgium, Denmark,
the Netherlands. Switzerland and
Spain.
We are behind all nations in
tho power given our Senate to
ohstruct. Let the people join

credited power.

C1oture Vital in the Senate

TT is not. within our American
House of Lords, a popular.
but It is an essentially vital
reform that finds it's sponsor and
spokesman in Robert L. Owens,
the dauntless Senator from Ok
lahoma.
For the last five years-since
the beginning of the Taft Ad-
ministration-the has been
gathering among the people an
increasing protest against the
enormous waste of the peoples
time and the criminal delay of the
peoples business through the
present rules. customs and prece-
dents OF the American Senate
This silent protest is ready now
TO align itself definitely and pow
erfully behind a public movement.
And Senator owens has
preached in the Senate a brave
and timely sermon from the text,
THE MINORITY VETO IN THE
SENATE MUST END. THE Or
STRUCTION OF THE PUB
Lie BUSINESS MUST CEASE.
THE POWER OF A SENATOR
TO BLACKMAIL THE SENATE
MUST 'BE TERMINATED"
The text tersely summarizes
great national evil Tho three
abuses have had frequent and la
mentable demonstration. Senators
consuming three days in a single
speech, single Senators under the
rule Of courtesy or privilege hold
ing for days and weeks the vital
business of the country in abey-
anec. and fractional tllibusters of
the minority thwarting or defeat
ing popular legislation altogether.
1t Is. indeed, time to call a halt
to such disastrous rules and such
unsanctified traditions

GARDEN TRUCK FOR MARKET
Preparing Fruit and Vegetables ls
Most Important operstlon-Uni-
formity Most Desired.

The most important operation in
preparing fruit and vegetables for
market is the grading. The work
should be started in the field with the
growing OF crops. Careful cultivation
means fewer culls and less expense
for sorting and grading Uniformity
is the principal requirement to be
considered in grading and packing.
Growers should not attempt to han.
die and market their crops unless
they pack them in uniform packages
and grade them so that they will pre-
sent a uniform quality and general
appearance. Produce put up in good
shape will appear to the best advan.
tage at the time Of sale. Markets
are seldom over supplied with good
fruits and vegetables; It is the un.
evenly ripened, poorly developed, bad
ly selected produce that INJURIES the
sale Of the better products.
Produce of all kinds should be sort
ed so that in each package each spe-
cimen is as nearly like the others
as is practicable. The efficient grader
has in mind the appearance Of the
whole package, and not the individual
specimens. This work can seldom be
overdone, for the more rigid the grad.
ing the greater will be the profits at
the time of sale.

and any similar operation might be
included under soil tillage; but, in the
usual acceptance Of the term. soil til

essary to the preparation Of cultivable
soil for the planting Of crops, and to
the subsequent processes necessary
in bringing these crops to maturity.
The principal reasons for all care and
tillage Of the soil are: To provide q
home or growing place for the desired
crop; to liberate plant food; to con-
serve soil moisture; and to destroy
weeds. With proper tillage we are
able to overcome or modify adverse
climatic conditions. and by 1t we may
improve conditions already favorable.
