He profoundly believes that he's a

KEEP THE BOYS ON THE FARM.

is one Continued round of unalloyed
pleasure, financial ease and prosper
ity, and got the spleen out of our sys-
tenn, we thought we were through for
awhile and would feel better, but now
comes one of these commercial farm
papers, $1.0O year, whose publishers
allow their travelling agents the dollar
for getting the farmers name so they
can be reached by advertisements Of
the great mail order houses that fl
nance these farm papers, and in it we
find a vicarious sloshlng of fearful
rhetoric pathetically imploring the
farmers to keep their boys on the
farm" and vigorously insisting that
if a farm boy breaks away from hoe
ing corn and digging potatoes the sta
bility of the nation and the perpetuity
of our free institutions are threaten
ed.
May the Lord bless their decripit
bodies and benighted souls. Don't
they know; don't everybody with
two grains of common sense
know, that the farm is the great res
ervoir of raw material out Of which
nation builders are created.
There are at the present time 96
senators and 435 me.noers of the
House of Representatives and rs per
cent of them spent their boyhood
days and young years OF manhood on
the farm. Practically every member
of either the Senate or the House who
has exercised any authority over the
affairs of the nation in the last half
century were farm boys; farm born
and farm bred.
Take it in the matters of finance,
education, literature, politics, religion
and just little Investigation will dis
close the fact that 80 per cent of the
leaders, not only in these, but in ev-
cry department of the worlds af-
fairs were boys who "lef. the farm"
seeking wider fields Of influence and
attainment.
If the advice of these papers were
to be literally followed, and all the
farm boys were "kept on the farm"
every line of national activity would
be so blighted that the nation would
perish with internal dry rot.
So, Mr.. Farmer, if your boy loves
the open, is a friend o. everything
that breathes, is profoundly interest
ed in the greatest of all mysteries.
plant growth, and in order to enjoy
these inclinations is willing to work
for small remuneration, keep him on

boy, you could not drive him off the
farm with club. On the other hand
if he feels within himself a strong de-
sire to mix and mingie with the big
affairs of men, is ambitious for great
wealth, longs for power and influence,
is eager for fame, is not satisfied
with farm environments and wants to

Democratic Leader Underwood Pre-
sents Figures Which Gives $50.
100000 Surplus for Year.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-For with official
figures from the Treasury Department
Democratic Leader Underwood told
the House Saturday there would be no
deficit in government finances and
that any prediction OF one was a
dream based on wishes springing from
political antagonism.
In an analysis o. the government s
financial situation. he announced that
the total receipts of the government for
the fiscal year ending June 30 would
aggregate s733.000.000. leaving a sur
plus of s3O.OOO.OoO and that with only
half years operation OF the income
tax.
That did not include Panama expen.
ditures, estimated at s35.0O0.000. Next
year. he declared. Panama expendi-
lures would practically pass away and
the canal receipts would pay running
expenses.
Cnderwood's speech was in support

islative appropriation bill to increase
the treasury fund for collecting the
income tax from 100000 to N.5eA-

Underwood explained that the increase
was for the collection OF the income
tax from persons and corporations
trying to evade 1t.
For next year." he predicted. I'VE
can be assured OF collecting more than
800. .000.0 900 from the income tax even
II no more proportionately Is collected

Underwood said customs receipts
were producing the current year S22..
100000 more than the administration
had expected. and that the Treasury
Department had reported to him these
figures OF the total revenues for the
current year lust ending:

Salem. Mass.-Twelve million dol
lars is the estimated property loss as
result of a conflagration which ragged
in this historic "old witch" city from
early Thursday afternoon until early
Friday. More than 1000 buildings OF
Salem were laid waste.
The burned district followed q
rough semicircle three miles In length
and varying in width from half mile
to mile and half The loss of life
80 far as known was restricted to three
persons.
Mrs. Jennie Cunningham, whose
body was recovered from her tene-
ment home on Lafayette street.
Samuel p. Whitney, burned to death
in his home on Prescott street, to
which he had returned to save some
personal belongings after he had once
escaped.
A third body, found in the mill dis
trict but so badly burned that it was
impossible to determine the sex.
At least 10000 persons, fourth Of
the city's population. were made home
less and thousands passed the night in
the open. Many hundreds were shell.
tered in schools. churches ani public
buildings in this city and Beverly.
Before the fire had been fairly
checked. relief measures and plans for
rebuilding were under way. Governor
Walsh. Lieutenant Governor Barry and
Secretary of State Donohue spent the
night here. The governor announced
that 5000 tents and 10000 rations
would be shipped to the city at once.
In the midst of the gloom. caused by
the staggering blow to the city, resi-
dents found cause for thankfulness in
the fact that the more noted buildings
and the museums with their priceless
collections OF antiquities were saved.
The birthplace of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. the House of Seven Cables"
and the old custom house wers threat
ened for a time and the flames ap-
preached dangerously close to the
Peabody Museum and the Essex Insti-
tute. but. none OF these structures was
damaged.
From o'clock Thursday afternoon.
when a terrific explosion occurred In
the factory of the Korn Leather Com
pany at Proctor and Boston streets.
the flames ragged practically un-
checked until midnight. The explosion
is thought to have occurred among
chemicals used In the manufacture OF
patent leather. This factory stood near
the foot OF Gallows Hill. famous as tho
hanging.place OF witches in the early
Colonial days. at the western end OF
the city. a high wind carried the
flames through the manufacturing dis
trict and thence southeastward to the
heart OF the city and across a tnickly
populated tenement district to the wa
ter front.
Measures for the relief OF the $4,000
persons made homeless In the confla-
grafton proceeded rapidly. More than
$500 were directly dependent upon the
relief committee for shelter. while
1900 waited In bread lines Friday for
the food which streamed into the city.
