TWENTY ACRES AND LIBERTY.

Dr. Maurice Francis Egan, the Amer
lean minister to Denmark, says that
II intensive farming, coupled with CO.
operation, could be carried on in this
country with half of the scientific ap-
plication of the Danes, the high cost
of living would soon cease to be a
problem. He ventures to say that II
the abandoned farms OF Massaehu
sets alone could be put under the
direction of competent Danes, they
could be made to yield food enough to
supply the whole of New England, says
the Philadelphia Enquirer. This is
high praise, but there is no doubt that
it is deserved The climate of Den
mark is among the poorest in Europe,
but in spite of that great disadvantage
the farmers of that country have
tackled the problem eourageously, and
nave triumphed. One of the rea-
sons for this lies in scientific cultiya-
ton of small farms. The tendency in
Denmark is to cut large estates into
small farms and to work these inten-
sively. AS a consequence it is as
serted that a family in Denmark can
take a 20-acre farm and make com
Portable livelihood. Each member of
the family has his work cut out, and
the general results are entirely salts.
factory. The simplicity of national
life is against display. and all that
is possible is done for the poor. Min
lister Egan is authority for the state
ment that in Denmark the wealth per
capita is greater than in any other
country in the world

that nothing in the antitrust laws
shall be construed as forbidding the
existence and operation of farmers
organizations and labor unions or as

The much debated labor sections of
the Clayton bill, in addition to limit

straint of trade. They also provide

A medical journal urges some regu-
lation of the protruding hatpin as a
great menace to the eyes Of the gen.
eral public. This remonstrance is
justified both by the facts of the case
and the imminent danger involved.
Women ought to be educated up to
the peril of this fashion, but educa-
ton in any matter takes valuable
time, and during its progress some
swifter means must be devised to
save possible victims. If fashion or
convenience refuses to take this dan
ger into account, some measure of
compulsion is not only justifable in
the case, but also necessary.

An ancient mariner of San Francis
co had the top of his head decorated
by a South Sea Island tattoo artist
when the departure OF his hair left it
bare. The simple islanders hailed the
seaman as their prince, and he be-
CAME the pet of tribe But this
sailorman's hair continued to come
out, until the original design no long
er sufficed to cover his bald spot. Then
he recognized with great anguish of
spirit that the state of his pocketbook
would not permit him to have more
tattooing done. At last reports he had
just been released from prison where
he had been committed for a minor
offense, and goes about now sad
dened man with curiously notified

THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1914.

The police department has received
a warning from the federal officials
calling special attention to a gang of
land swindlers which may be expected
to begin operations in this section of
the country any time. If there is any
new scheme in the way of land swind-
les that is clever enough to warrant
especial attention from the government
experts it must be wonder. They
have occasion to deal with every known
game about every day in the year.

The city officials will be with the
saloon men in any fight that may be
made against forcing them to return
to the old system of furnishing per-
sonal sureties on their bonds The
bonds secured from the recognized
surety companies which are now furn-
ished by ninety per cent of the men
who apply for retail liquor dealers IL
censes are perfectly satisfactory to
the city authorities, the security is as
good or better than that of a bond
given by the applicants Cor licenses
with personal sureties and the bonds
are much easier to check up. There
would be lot of work for the COM
mittee on bonds of the common council
involved in any return to personal
surety bonds, for the sureties on all
Of the hundred or more licenses issued
by the city would have to be care
fully investigated by the committee.
The decision of the attorney general
that surety companies cannot go on
the bonds of applicants for saloon IL
censes is based on technicality and
will not be accepted in this city if
it can be avoided. There is no case
on record of any of the surety com
panies seeking to avoid any liabilities
on these bonds on technicality in
Kenosha and the city officials are not
seeking ways Of making trouble and
extra work for themselves. Until
there is court decision to the con
trary these surety bonds will probably
be accepted in Kenosha.

THE GERMAN FLEET

and battle cruisers of Germany, num-
bering sixteen ships in ALL, and it's
second line of twenty-three dread
noughts has not ventured out to en-
gage the British fleet in the North
sea, there is little doubt that it has
been actively employed in attacking
the Russian Baltic fleet and the var
ious Russian seacoast cities and ma
val bases; also there have been en-
gagements between sections of the
Russian and German fleets. The ac--

these operations are limited and

This is an age of upIift Our right
Of action must always be balanced
with the ever recognized privilege Of
doing all the good we can.
Demanding our rights as the soc

Brotherhood is a phrase, mainly to

The great advantage Of the cam

This city is a representative one;
our city enthusiasts have been work

But the more desirable campaign
is to make this city better; give
to our people a higher ideal of life,

doing it, and a better method of
