Washington, D. C.-Admiral Dewey
May / celebrated his eighteenth ami.
versary of the battle of Manila hay.
No plans had been made for any spe-

Admiral Dewey was at his desk as
usual giving personal attention to the
duties of his office. Admiral Dewey,
who is 70 years old, is in his usual
good health.

In a stirring speech on the floor of
the senate at Washington, Senator
Husting Of Wisconsin demanded con-
gressional investigation into the flood
of kilograms pouring into congress on
the German-American situation.
/ Secretary Lansing announced at
Washington that the United States had
sent another note to Great Britain de-
manding the release of the 3S Aus
trians, Germans and Turks taken from
the American steamship China by a
British cruiser off Shanghai.
The state department at Washing.

dor to succeed Henry Morgenthau,
whose resignation has been accepted
by President Wilson.
The latest British note in answer to
the American protests against allied
interferences with neutral trade, made
public at the state department at
Washington, contends that the prac-

sound and Valid" and that the relief
which neutrals seek is rather to be OBJ
tanned by the mitigation of necessary
hardships than by abrupt changes"
Henry Morgenthau, American am
bassador to Turkey, has rendered his
resignation to President Wilson at
Washington. 1t probably will be ac-
cepted. Abram l. Elkus, a New York

A LAND PROBLEM AHEAD
(FRoM THE PEORIA JouRNAL.)

The Nebraska State Journal calls at
tention to the fact that Uncle Sam s
opening of a 4.000-acre tract in the
North Platte irrigation district for set
tlement practically winds up the free
and distribution of the nation. It
adds:
Free or cheap land has been
the American safety valve. A
population straining for self-bet-
terment has had it's own remedy
to go west and grow up with the
country. With the government
reduced to advertising an opening
OF forty-three farms, the safety
valve may be considered forever
closed. The expansive energy for
merly eXerted outward, must here
after work itself out intensively.
Increasing land speculation, with
rapidly rising prices of land and
proportionately increasing dissat-
isfaction among the landless would
seem inevitable. The tone of our
politics and the intensity of our
social problems cannot but be vi
tally changed under the strain of
dealing internally with a social
pressure which hitherto has had
the wilderness to vent itself upon.
Land hunger will soon become a
reality in this rapidly growing country
and the constant pressure of popula-
tion. increasingly higher than the ratio
OF production, is bound to bring US
face to face with economic problems
that we have heretofore considered re-
mote. The far-sighted statesman and
publicist must devote his thought
earnestly to the consideration of these
questions If we are to escape the ex-
tremes which curse the older nations
Of the world"
In the above will be found one of
the reasons that the Canadian Govern.
ment is Offering 100 acres of land free
to the actual settler. There is no
dearth of homesteads of this size, and
the land is Of the highest quality, be.
ing such as produces yields of from 80
to 60 bushels of wheat per acre, while
oats run from fifty to over hundred
bushels per acre. 1t is not only mat.
ter OF free grants, but in Western Can.
ada are also to be had other lands at
prices ranging from $12 to $50 per
acre. the difference in price being
largely matter of location and dis
tance from railway. If one takes into
consideration the scarcity of free
grant lands in the United States it is
not difficult to understand why there
has been most material advances in
the price of farm lands.
A few years ago, land that now sells
for two hundred dollars an acre in
Iowa. could have been bought for sew.
enty-five dollars an acre or less. The
increased price is warranted by the
increased value of the product raised
on these farms. The lands that today
can be had in Western Canada at the
low prices quoted will in less time
than that taken for the Iowa lands to
increase. have proportionate in
crease. In Nebraska the lands that
sold for sixteen to twenty dollars pei
acre seven years ago, find a market al
one hundred and seventy-five dollars
an acre, for the same reason given fol
the increase in Iowa lands. Values
in these two States, as we'll as in 9th
ers that might be mentioned. show
that Western Canada lands are poins

DEPUTY GETS MAN AND
SACKFUL Of DRINKS
jim MITCHELL HAD A BAD NIGHT
WHEN HE ALleHTED FROM
NORTHEASTERN TRAIN.

When Jim E. Mitchell, negro mer-
chant at Palmer's Crossing, alighted
from a northbound New Orleans &
Northeastern passenger train last
night, with gunny sack across his
shoulders, and started for Buschman
street1in hurry, he was a surprised
man when informed that the very
same sack contained 81 half-pint bot
Ties OF whiskey and gin.
Jim thought it was groceries. The
man that gave him SO cents to take
it from the train for him told Jim 1t
was groceries. and the negro suspected
nothing.
That is the story he told Deputy
Sheriff B. j. Bradley, who made the
arrest, and Justice Of the Peace Clark,
who tried him this mornias. e. ~
old story of the liquor not being owned
by the person in whose possession it
was found, has been worn threadbare
here of late, and Judge Clark told the
negro that he should have fixed up
some new and original explanation.
Jim said he had spent the day IN
SIfdell, and was returning home, when
negro man gave him SO cents and
told him to assist in carrying the sack
from the train. Jim said the other ne,
gro alighted on the opposite side OF
the train from the deputy sheriff, It
SO happened that close watch was
being kept on the train, however, and
the conductor, fiagman and the police
say that Jim was the only man to gel
off the train in Hattiesburg.
Judge Clark fined the man $3.50 and
sentenced him to 80 days in Jail. The
negro said he would appeal.
