Literature and the Farm.
(KokomO Dispatch.) }

The day has gone by when we need
to address the farmer with bum
combe. He is just as smart as any
body else and a good deal smarter
than some Of us. He doesn't need
an appeal to anything but his rea-
son, and the truth is that he is
reading and thinking as much as
anybody else. One needs only to
examine the variety and excellence
of the publications devoted to rural
life to realize that literature has
found an appreciative and under
standing consumer in the rural dis
tricts. He doesn't need to be called
the honest" farmer-he knows
what he is as well as the next man,
and he appreciates the motive OF his
associates. Altogether the farmer
has taken hold on life as fully as
ever the city man did-and we can
get over the idea that he hasn't as
fast as our common sense will let us.

WOMEN FAVOR SILENT
ANTT-RUM CAMPAIGN
New Jersey Federation Prom
ises Also to Make War for
Higher Wage Scale.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 7.-Support for
local option, warfare against the mini
mum wage for the sex, warning against
women going to the Panama Exposition
In San Francisco and early hints of n
stormy session with the resolutions on
woman suffrage to be introduced at the
closing meeting, were offered at today s
sessions of the New Jersey Federation of
Womens Clubs, representing 1876 organi-
cations of the State, or II 800 members.
The 900 delegates offered unanimous
support in the present dry" movement,
furtherlng the waging of SILENT CAM
paign rather than the spectacular method.
Committees have taken the matter up
with State Legislators and some encour-
agement was offered, but chalrmen re-
ported that the liquor interests Of the
northern section were too strong to be
overthrown in day, and the battle must
be wagered for years before the much
coveted goal could be reached.
Manufacturers and business people en-
ploying women and girls at ridiculously
low wages may face boycott from the
feminine customers rs the outcome Of the
resolutions offered here.
"If the employer sees our work as
efficient as that of men, why should we
not get the same salaries?" asked the
speaker 1.-THE convention should be
called up to do something and drastic
action is necessary to force living wages"
The warning was sounded against
women attending the Panama Exposition
in San Fransico in search of work. Com
mittees read that at present there were
1000 unemployed stenographers at the
Coast and hundreds in other fields
Mrs Charles w. Stockton, of Ridge
wood, in a paper on sociology, urged the
Frightening of the almshouses to prevent
mental deterioration.
Indications this afternoon foreshadow an
actual split in ranks on the suffrage
question, and conservatives on both sides
are canvassing overtime to avoid the
tilt
The first inkling of the prospective trou-
BILE came this morning when n resolution
for the support of suffrage was placed
before the one urging neutrality. 1t nearly
caused n stampede, and In the excitement
both were voted deferred until tomorrow
at the closing session.

IT'S ALL GREEK TO GREEK
WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
Main Question Now Is, Who Put
Money! in Greeks Shoe?

Money in Greeks Shoe?
Greek met Greek In a cigar factory at
1000 Germantown avenue, and, as might
have been expected according to the old
proverb about such circumstances, some
thing happened. In this case 1t was a
mystery. Straits stamus, chief Greek in
the Greek drama, did not call It that, but
he said today that the matter was all
Greek to him.
What, indeed. was he to think when,
after placing $500 In bankbook hiding
1t on q shelf and putting s4OO in another
passbook and hiding that on another
shelf he found $500 missing? He accused
Gus Louis, a fellow-Greek of stealing the
money, only to find the money in one OF
his own shoes under his own desk
Gus Louis. IS years old, came to this
country three months ago and got q job
In Stamus' factory A few days ago
Stamus sold another factory for 5000 and
put the money away as described. When
he missed it. yesterday, he called In
Policeman Kerwick, of the Ridge and
Midvale avenues station who arrested
the young. innocent-loolSing Greek.
Today Gus faced Magistrate Grells. No
sooner was the case called than Stamus
and a lawyer whom he had brought with
him. jumped up to ask that the charges
be withdrawn. No money had been found
on Gus person or in his belongings.
That's all there is to the story, except
the mystery: Who put the money in the
Greeks shoes?

CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED
IN ROOSEVELT STRIKE TRIAL
Case Transferred From Middlesex to
Mercer County, N. ].

TRENTON, May 1.-The Supreme Court
IN an opinion handed down today. granted
the application of Attorney General John
w. Wescott for a foreign jury to try tho
cases OF the deputies indicted In Middle
sex County for the Roosevelt strike MUIR
ders.
I'VE think" said the court. that the
evidence in this case requires the con-
clusion that fair and impartial trial
cannot be had before a Jury of Middle
sex County. We ara aware OF the serious
nature of our action and are most reluo-
tant to take It,"
The opinion further states that such a
course ought not to be pursued unless the
case is a clear one. ',rhe newspaper clip
pings submitted to us show that there is
a disposition on the part OF the public
press In New Brunswick to try the case
outside OF the court ROOM" the Supreme
Court declares. and adds that such a con-
dition tends to inhame the public mind
against the State.
I'VE think, therefore. that a venire
should be issued TO the sherifr OF the ad-
Joining County OF Mercer, In accordance
with Section 70 OF the Criminal Procedure
Act" the decision concludes.
