pENMARK's EXAMPLE.

After 8 study Of Danish schools and American rural conditions H. ". Fosht of the United States bureau of educa- ton reaches the conclusion that the Danish Folk high schools for grown urs" which have made possible the recent wonderful development in rural Denmark, can be successfully trans planted in modified form to this coun- try, and what they have done for the rural civilization in Denmark they can do for the United States.
 There are already few such schools in this country established by Danish immigrants, but it is probable that such difficulties as have been experi- enced by them could be overcome by adapting them to American life. Such 8 type Of school is particularly suitable for the region known as the South At lantic Highland, embracing all of West Virginia. forty-two counties i'll west ern Virginia, twenty-three in western North Carolina, four in western South Carolina, twenty y-fye in northern Georgia, seventeen in northeastern Alabama, forty-f1ve in eastern Ten nessee and thirty-six in eastern Ken~ lucky. Tn that section the peculiar local conditions demand some such institution.
 Where the Folk high school spirit has emancipated the agricultural pop- ulation of Denmark, made the country people the peers of their city 'breth- ren, made them leaders in affairs, in production, in distribution, in politics and taught them to think for them selves and to act independently of the industaal classes, there ought to be good results from the extension of such an opportunity in this country.

Why the Increase of Pests.

Mir. Editor: When as a boy I came with my father from Windsor, Vt, to Red Wing, Minnesota, birds Of all kinds found in the west were very plentiful. Quail, pheasants, praire chickens, blowers, grouse and millions of pigeons and small birds were to be seen and heard in every direction. No- body ever thought Of destructive in sects then, but how is it today? Wild game birds will be annihilated unless drastic measures of some kind are put into effect. States have their open and closed seasons, yet such is the slaughter during the shooting weeks that the poor birds are fast disappear ing. Several varieties have gone. Stopping the shooting part of the year will not do. All guns must be hung up for longer periods of time.
 Many of our farmers are beginning to realize that birds work for them while the average hunter does not care 3 snap how the owner of the land gets along. Many signs are being painted and hung forbidding hunters to tres pass. At first these signs were ig- nored but a, few law suits have caus- ed them to be better oteyed As it is insects are getting the upper hand and unless the birds have protection the insects win make all farms of no value.

of the opinion that the conditions in England and the conditions in Amer ica are so vastly different that the practibiHty of the proposition is altered to great degree.
 H. A. Murray, Agent of the Harvard crew, does not think the Henley dis tance a fitting continuation for Uni versity Crews rowing season. He be Ieyes the Philadelphia Henley is the nearest approach to the English and that this should be favored as much as possible by all the colleges. How ever, Manager John c. Paul. of the Princeton crew thinks the plan would put an end to a number of difficulties about the rowing championship and would be an ideal climax to the row well of the United States Naval Acad- of the Cornell crew and Coach Guerena Of the Leland Stanford crew have ex- pressed their favor for the plan. They believe that minor difficulties might be overcome If the colleges were to en- ter into the project with the proper spirit. Capt. DeneGre of the Yale crew believes that the plan is an excellent one. However practical difficulties would perhaps interfere with the sue cess of the plan. It is a big under taking. nevertheless. he would like to see the plan realized. The matter of the American Henley will be discussed and decided at the next meeting of the AssO citation which will be held at New Haven next month.

Peculiar After Effects
 of Grip This Year
Lsaves Kidneys h Weakened Condition

Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidemic of grip which has visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in 8 run down con- dition, particularly the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney trou- bles. Druggists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an at tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and, being an herbal compound, has a gen tie healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed in most cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton, \. T., offer to send sample size bottle of Swamp Root, on receipt of ten cents, to every suf- ferer who requests it. A trial will convince any one who may be in need of it. Regular size bottles soc and s1.00. For sale at all druggists. Be sure to mention this paper.

While the democratic party is urg- ing new legislation in behalf of the Philippines for the purpose of placing greater power in the hands Of the Eil- ipi11os n1rWh significance must be at tached to ti1e letter which has been re ceived from tf1ose possessions by For 1ner President Taft in which one who is farniIiar with conditions both in the past and at present tells of the ef- feet which the changes instituted by the present administration have had in the islands. When it is disclosed that the introduction Of the democratic ideas has resulted in the overthrow Of former successful methods of govern tnent which operated to the develop n1ent of the islands and replaced them with a system that is causing demor- aliEation of government and stagI7ation of business, it should be realized that it is best to go slow before going any further in such talk es the granting Of independence to tho islands or tle establishment Of 8 greater degree of self government.
 The new policy has resulted in the creation of new and dangerous polit- ical parties, the replacement of ofn- ciaIs who are capable of handling the AIILpoFtdnC 4diIo AtdtIsiS OS A<AbANo pot- iticians, and the threatened busting of health authorities who are quail fled through experience for their work to be replaced by tf1ose in the islands who at their best can be only poor imitatorS
 The revelation of conditions by one who is thoroughly in touch herewith gives first hand warning of the ad- eisa biIity of going slow fin the govern , ment changes projected there. Stuff cient harm has already been done without piIing up more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Endorses What Brother Farmer Says.

Endorses What Brother Farmer Says.
 MT. Editor: I wish to congratulate Brother Farmer upon his letter which appears in today's Bulletin. I heartily endorse all he says and es- pecialiy that in regard to the represen- tation, or rather the lack of it which the farmers have in the General As seInply.
 Our system of town representation Is in theory a very fine thing for pro- tecting the rights of the small town but in actual practice is of almost no value in the securing of legislation beneficial to the farmer or the rural communities
 In the small towns the office of rep resentative is regarded as something to be passed around among the voters; as thing to which almost every roter is entitled to sooner or later. The fitness of the candidate for the office is given far too little consid- eT2tion. The idea, largely prevails the purpose of the official is for the bene- fit of the incumbent. have person. ally heard the argument advanced for q candidate that he was in poor cir cumstances and needed the money The duties and obligations of Q repre- sentative to his constituents arc large ly lost sight of when such theories as these prevail. Then, too, the political bosses in the cities shrewdly manipu- late the wires to nominate and elect such candidates as will best serve their purpose. Moreover, these politicians are able by various means to win many of tie representatives from the smaller towns to the support of their measures and schemes in the Iegisla- ture. do not charge actual corruption but these smooth gentlemen have many and Substle ways of ingratiating themselves with the rural legislators who naturally wish to bask in the smiles cf ff7n E'11io' faI1r,Ts-s
 As our friend states, the ouIy- way for the farmers to secure any Iegis1a- ton Of real benefit is to carefully se- lect for their representative men up- on whom they can rely to be such in reality as well as in name and not be hoodwinked by a lot of self-seei- ing politicians.
 Respectfully.

GOVERNOR HoLcoMg's MESSAGE.

By his message to the legislature in which he suggests the advisablllty or s7,,s king the counties and the towns of s+be state assume a greater resDons1- iriHtx when 1t comes to meeting the sior,stantly increasing bill of expense, sGovernor HoIcomb has started train fof thought which is not going to be tssdetracked whatever may 7oe the out scome,
 Governor HoIcomb brings attention tn the fact that while 1t may be pos sTble to talk economy and practice lavish expenditures at the same time, it is impossible to do so and avoid The much disliked state tax. There must be one thing or the other, either economy must amount to more than ita,lz or else the inevitable can be eS- spected. Those who are running the ldance must pay the fiddler.
 That state expenditures can be cut is known. That they must be cut and the revenue of the state increased is equally positive. Just how it is going .1o be worked out has not been estaio- 'lished. but it is q. goal which must be nsept constantly in mind. The advsn- irages which have been provided by the state have been steadily increasing but they cannot be had without paying for them and 1t is only common sense to see the way clear to meeting what is already existing before plunsing ahead into more. It is a false notion 10 get that the state is good for every thing without knowing where the funds h meet the expenditures are coming from Debts of course can be piled up for others to pay, but bonded indebt- edness is expensive.
 Whether any relief is goiug to be obtained by the taxpayers of the state ny shifting certain expenses to the county from the state will be a mat ter for study. It would certainly bring Ihe question of taxation nearer home 10 the people who must pay them but t is question whether such business cOuld be administered with as much economy and efficiency under the pres ent form Of county government as it can by a properly regulated state government. If such business is going to be administered by the county the people of the county should have something to say about the choice Of it's officials. When. how ever. each town is made to realize is responsibilities then will there be g different attitude towards the ad- nlnistration of such affairs in a bus inesslitle manner
 There can be no question, however, but what Governor Holcon1b has start ed something.

WANT BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

The sending or the friendly notes by 1his country to both Great Britain and Germany pointing out the position of the United States as 10 the attitudes which have been taken by those coun- n- tries relative to the use of the Amerf- can flag and the protection that the vessels of this country are entitled to receive, is only what might be expected While it is recognized that the use of a neutral flag must be re- Earded as 3. trick of war, it is but reasonable to expect that the country so using it must have some consider sz1iOn for the effects such continued nse must have upon American vessels. especially when it means the directing of suspicion towards what would otherwise be neutral traffic and go un- nolested.
 The note to Germany is one of in uuiry- This. as well as other cor1n- tries. is desiToUs of throwing what dangers it's commerce Is going to have forced upon it and it must be apparent that the torpedoing of an American vessel would he accompanied by se- E-ious complications. especially if no attempt was made by the DelIiEerent vessel to make absolutely sure of its action before attempting anything rad 5cal
 Being of a friendly nature the corn- snTntcacions will undoubtedly be re- reaped in the spirit that they are sent. The reasonableness of them must be recognized else any trouble that might z-riss from future operations would leave this country in a peculiar posi- ticr. even though these notes cannot be looked upon as protests. They will, however, serve as precautionary ad- kno1zirsons and open the way to bet }@r understanding.

Today. if Lincoln were granted twenty-four years on earth to con- plete the Biblical allotment of three score and ten he would have to devote most of his life extension to reading if he sought to review all that fias been written of him. There are today nearly 1000 books and pamphlets which have appeared as distinct issues relating to the life Of Lincoln. Scores of them are in foreign ases-Ffench, Ger man. Italian, Japanese and Modern Greek-Ef1ich Lincoln would never be able to read at all. There are also over 1000 title entries to arti- cles in ma gazines, covering every range of his life and character. but he would search almost in vain for traces of that hostile criticism which he read of himself in his day. so great is the mass of appre- ciAtion

THEN--and-NOW

Fifty six years ago today, when Lincoln was celebrating hts fiftieth birthday and was within six years of his death, he was so little known to Fame that he did not appear among the biographical books of the day. Two books of 1880, sur veying the field of some fifty representative living men named him only once, casually in connec- ton with the Douglass debate. Bs- ginning with his first presidential term some impromptu Biographical sketches apS7eared, mostly in pam pa11et form, but it was not until his assassination in 1885 that the flood of Lincoln literature began It continued fur half .. century at the rate of nearly a score of books & year, includIng every available word o& LAnce1n'x own writings.

BULLETINS SPECIAL YALE LETTER
Fund of $2o0000 fof Creating Graduate Course of One Year-Yale College in China-CaIs Soon to be Issued for Crews-New Stmuant for Yale Songs Needed Proposition for Annual Regatta on Henley Order.

New Haven, Feb. 11,-As was an
 nounoed some months ago, through the generosity of two graduates of the Shenfeid Scientific School of the class or 1875 $ and 1887 s a fund of S200,
 coo has been created, with a view to developing Q graduate course of one year, and if possible, two years, as an addition to the present undergraduate Select Course in the Sheffield Scienti- nc School, with special reference to f1feG1arat ton for a, business career. For tlsa purpose of iuaugurating this grad uate year of study at the opening of tt1e next college year @ committee from the Governing Board of the School, of which the active members have been Professors Callenter and Bishop. has already arranged 9, scheme of studies Tor the first year. This tentative scheme of study for the first year includes Industrial Organization and Management, Commercial Organiza- ton and Problems of Marketing, Bus mess Finance and Insurance, Account ing, Statistics, and Business Law. In considering this scheme of studies, the committee has endeavored to give the students as thorough 8 Knowledge of the more important features of busi- n one year of study. Naturally no attempt has been made to provide in struction for any particular calling. Such training. if 1t were to be given, shoEld follow general studies. ConSe- quently, in this proposed year of graduate study only those subjects are included which have general utility.
 Further, it Is to be noted that the courses offered are quite different from those which have long been given in colleges and universities by the de- partment Of economies. such as money and banking, transportation. monopo- lies and trusts, tariff policies and fin ancial history. The courses here of rered have a different purpose. Their point of view is that of the business man rather than the public spirited citizen. While the above scheme of studies has been planned with special reference to the Select Course and is designed to complete the undergrad uate training, some Of the above courses will be open to other students in the University who are properly 1 qualified to take them. It is proposed to admit graduates of the engineering courses, graduates of other depart ments of the University and Seniors in
