The Zeal Ioy Of Farm Owning.

/ am not gentleman farmer, with a
great estate over which ! ride once in a
while, and leave all the real work to my
underlings | cannot think there would
be great fun in this. No. ! like TO take
hold with my Portuguese man, and plant,
and spray, and trim and prune. To be
sure, he does more than his share OF the
rough work, and much of the year ! must
be cultivating other kinds Of fields than
those that grow cabbages and turnips'
but the fun OF farming comes from being
q real farmer while you are one, getting
close TO the soil, becoming intimate with
every living thing, whether il be a plant
or animal, loving your tomato vines and
raspberry bushes, taking real pride in
your eggplants and your brussels sprouts,
whether you get a prize for them at the
country fair, or not.--Rey. DR.. Francis 4.
Clark. in the Countryside Magazine and
Suburban Life for February.

the familiar one of the rule against new
legislation on appropriation bills \
single objection, ii the chair holds that
the protested clause falls under this head,
is sufficient to throw IL out. II IL the
common practice TO add numerous such
provisions TO appropriation bills N inc
hope that they will be aequiesced TO by
the entire body, or that their character
will escape undeteeted, or that their m
cIusion can be successfully defended by
splitting parliamentary hairs. After they
have been struck out, however, 1t remains
possible for the majority when the pre-
liminary discussion OF the bill is complet-
ed, TO have so.called special rule rs.
ported from the rules committee and
adopted by vote of the House, restoring
such provisions and multiplying the point
of order; otherwise the Senate mdy be
looked to.
Mr.. Mann has always been stickler
for procedure At the time of the re-
volt against Speaker Cannon and the
successful attempt to liberalize the rules
of the House it was Mr.. Mann who en-
deavored to block the new rules so far as
he could, not Tor the purpose OF achieving
any definite end in legislation, but Tor
the vindictive purpose of showing that
liberalizing the rules was thing that
could not be done.
But those who now criticize Mr. Mann
for his recent objection are too impa-
tient; there is value in proceeding ac-
cordng to strict form even though IT
takes time and makes little more trou-
BILE for everybody. The rule against "new
legislation" on appropriation bills is o
sound one. 1t makes it possible for a
single vigilant member to hold up new
propositions until general attention has
been called to them and their effect Civ
en- at least some consideration. Such a
check is desirable. The demonstrated err
rors of the legislation with which Mr..
Mann's name is chiefly associated, the
so.called Mann white slave" law, tech
nically one of the most faulty measures
ever enacted illustrate the perils of hasty
lawmaking. --Springfield tMass.l Republic

"BAcK TO AFRICA" BAD MOVE
Chief Sam and Followers Are In Hard
Luck.

New York. June 1.-THE steam
ship Liberia, chartered by Chief" Sam
and the Akin Trading Company which
sailed from Galveston early in 1914 as
the announced forerunner OF q widely
heraided back to Africa" movement,
is reported as having been picked
up by an English cruiser and taken
Dakar, on the west African coast.
Word of !, the Liberia has been
brought here by Bishop Isiah 3. Scott,
negro bishop for Africa of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, who was pas
senger on the steamship Buenos Ayres
from Spanish ports. Chief Sam and
twelve of his diciples, selected from
about 500 of his followers who had
gathered at Galveston ready to sail
to Africa as commission to spy
OUT the land. are now scattered
among the African coast cities. the
bishop said.
THE, movement to take American
negroes back to Africa is a failure,
said Bishop Scott. I'm the first place,
Africa is no. place for them, and,
again, the British government does
not encourage such immigration"
