census of 1910 shows these facts for the
continental United States:
FER cent Of total land area in farms. is. 2
Per cent OF land in farms improved .5i,&
Per cent. OF total land area Improved. .2t.l
Some of the outlying land may be
mountainous, desert or swampy. but IL is
preposterous TO say that only one-fourth
of the land of the United States can he
made to produce. A man who has been
through Europe and seen the cultivation
of land there. extending almost to noun
tain tops, as In the Rhine valleys and In
Switzerland. will find himself astonished
on returning to this country to see the
vast extent of untitled land In tho midst
of so-called farming regions.
Georgia, the largest State east Of the
Mississippi River. uses only 32 per cent.
OF its land for crops. Georgia has the
same area as England and Wales, which
have 80. 100000 people. Texas, the largest
State west Of the Mississippi. has as much
land as Austria-Hungar with 10000. 900.
or Germany and England with 100, 600. 900
people. Only Is per cent. OF Texas land
IL under cultivation. In both States
three-fourths of the land will produce
food.
We are confronting the agelong prob
lem that has arisen In all lands with the
struggle for subsistence. Increased popu-
latlon demands increased production. and
we shall solve this problem even as the
older nations have solved II before us.
except that with modern methods we shall
do 1t great deal better. Science has
done wonders with production In a gen.
Grafton and the Government Is at Its best
In pointing out these methods TO the
farmers. The man who sits In the seat
Of the scorner and sneers at progress is
only fossil stranded on the shore of
time. What the country most needs IL
to encourage the efforts being put forth
in Indiana and in the South to Increase
production.
Rather let US proit by the inspiring
example OF the stout hearted people OF
Denmark. where. with short crop SEASON.
and long winters in which some days
have only six and half hours the farm
ers make the land produce food enough
for man and beast. raise cattle. horses
ana swine and export millions of pounds
OF butter and thousands of animals
Those people coax from the soil a sub
sistence for 1s4 persons n square mile, or
SIN times as many as we have In the
United States. With such an example
before us we can realize that America is
still the land of opportunity

The legal doctrine thus clearly stated
by Senator HoAR has been entirely re-
versed In later years. The Supreme
Court Of our country and the different
courts Of the country, following the
leading Of its highest tribunal, have
declared that any such pool agree

Mark the essential feature and the
monstrous injustice that has governed
both the policy Of Attorney G Generals and
popular sentiment on the point. Senator
HoAR declared that employers had just $
much right to combine for their mutual,
protection as laborers had, but while
a construction of the law denying this
right OF combination has been enforced
with the utmost rigor against employ
ers, there never has been any pretence
OF enforcing such construction against
employees. Manufacturers in every
line and firms of every description
have been pursued by the fire and
sword Of the law and so harried BY day
and by night that they know not
where to turn or lay their heads: but
laborers and labor unions have been
openly allowed to make ARRANGEMENTS
as to what they will do and will not
do as mass. and to take counsel in
the very eyes Of the public as to
methods of stopping every railway In
the country and absolutely destroying
not only business and Industry but the

GOOD HITTING AND SPLENDID
PITCHING BY ROLAND WON
GAME FOR VOLS
Wat HARRISON HIT HOMER
Two runs of Columbia were scored
in the Frst-Locals Hit Detroit
$4,000 Beauty Pretty Frequently.
Costly Errors Lost Game.

The Nashville Volunteers and four
rank errors by the locals were too
much for RUDE Marshall Wednesday
afternoon. The result was that Co.
lumbia got licked to 2.
Marshall pitched jamup game, and
with the same kind of support tnat
Boland got, he would have tied it up
Only one run was earned from his de-
livery. This came in the fifth when
Lindsay and Gibson tripled in success
sion. The others were the result of
errors that were hardly excusable.
The Vols started their run getting
in the first. King, first up, singled
over second, was sacrificed to Sec
ond, took third on a muff of a fly by
Harrison, the sun getting in his eyes,
and scored when Sloan drove hot
one at Burns on first, which he fooz-
led Another was added in the Sec
ond on strikeout by Gibson, the ball
hitting the base and bouncing away.
He went over to third on Boland's
single and scored on hot drive,
which carromed off Marshall's leg to
Burns at first.
Three counters were made in both
the third and fourth. After Dodge
had flied out to right field. Burns sim
gled, but stretched it into a double
when Armstrong failed to put the ball
on him for an easy out. Sloan was
out from second to first, but Will
liams singled, Lindsay doubled, and
both scored on Rogers boot of Glib
sons roller. In the fifth King flied
out to deep center, DIAMOND gol
life on an easy chance whicn Arm
strong muffed, Dodge singled to CEN
ter, Burns got another double to left
field, tallying moment later on
Slona's sacrifice fly to right.
The last run was made in the fifth
on successive triples to center by
LINDSAY anu gibson.
The locals put over their two coun-
ters in the first frame. After Schmidt
had struck out, Hunter walked on
four wide ones, and Hardison, who
followed drove a singer down the
first base line which rolled over the
right field dump and went for a hon.
OF.
Boland though tapped for eight
safeties, always had the game well in
hand when men got in bases. He
struck out nine men. His smoke ball
worked finely and the locals had con-
siderable difficulty in getting their
clubs around in time to hit it.
The visitors put up a fine game and
tried all the way through as if it were
game for the pennant. Capt Otto
Williams, who had charge in the alb
sence of Bill Schwartz, the regular
pilot, kept them working in the ninth
as they did in the first. There was
no slowing up by the Vols. as the Bill
likens did in their games here earlier
in the season.
