CANCER OF LANDLORDISM
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Entirely timely is the disclosure made before a national association devoted to so- ciology that rural tenancy is reaching such proportions as to constitute a menace to that element of the population devoted to agriculture It was stated that 31 per cent of the farms in this country are rented or worked on shares by men ln immediate charge. The last of the cheap government lands are rapiGly approaching occupancy, thereby hastening the time when the prob lem must be solved.
 LanGlordism. present or absent, has never worked well wherever tried, and the natlon can have no confidence in future which includes the prospect of g vast number o1 -onant farmers. In degree 1t resembles human slavery, the effects ot which are most disastrous to the proprietor class
 In the establishment of the federal rural credits banks is seen an effort to prevent the extension of tenancy by making It eaS- fer for the small farmer to become the owner of his holdings If this is not sufficient in itself then other means of assistance must be found, because as every student of pO- Etical economy knows, the decay of the pcasantry is followed by the ruin Of the nation It is unpleasant to learn from cold and heartless statistics that as an industry farming in the United States pays the av- craze farmer something less than day wages. No drift of this question should be permit ted If the unnformed denizens of the cities is skeptical concerning the serious aspect of diminished production let him view the conditions in the war torn nations abroad, where the greatest crisis is not in men nor ammunition, but in the food supply.
 At the risk of seeming to favor class legislation and administration, everything that makes for agricultural development should be promoted with the same zeal that military enthusiasts are now striving for larger army and a greater navy.

TERROR OF TEDDY'S NAME
 0UELLS BLACK REVOLUTION

Dispatches have been received at Wash ington, D. C., from San Domingo which in dicate that Roosevelt's name carries terror to the black men of the island, and that the mere mention of it quelled revolution.
 The reports state that the instruction in San Domingo had assumed dangerous proportions. Natives were focking to the standard of the bandit leader, Chaca, and it seemed probable that large force of marines and soldiers would be needed to dsperse the little army.
 While this situation was supposed to be growing worse with each day the com mander of the United States marines Was greatly surprised to have the bandit leader announced as caller. When he was brought in he said that he had come to surrender himself On being questioned a3 to what ,cd him to do this he said that he and his men had heard the news thEt General Roosevelt and his rough riders were soon 10 come to San Domingo, au1 that there was no Use in fighting against him ard his demons.
 The bandit said that his followers had dispersed in all directions to mountain fast nesses, and could not be induced to fight against man who killed lions and tigers with his bare hands and ate whole bull lock at one meal.
 The terror of the blacks IS stated in the dispatches to have been genuine, and the mere name of Roosevelt Is said to inspire fear amongst them.
 The United States commander states that he doe3 not know how the rumor was spread among the revolutloni5ts, unless it started from chance remark which was made a5 joke by some of the marines, and wao re- ported to the bandits in the hills by their spies.

A QUESTION ANSWERED

Water is, for all practical purposes, in compressible; consequently its density is not increased by the increase of pressure due to depth; therefore iron. the density of which is many times greater than that of water, will not float in it even at great depths. While 1t is true that at great depth the pressure on the under side of a body is very great, it must not be forgotten that the water also presses greatly on the top of the body, and the one balances the other so that the tendency to rise or fall remains the same.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

ALASKA'S GREAT SHOWING

The annual report of the commercial and industrial activities of Alaska during the year 1916, lately issued by the customs de partment confirms the generally accepted optimism over Alaska's present condition and future prospects. The commerce of the territory it appears, last year reached the sum of Sl20000,00 indicating an increase of S37 7,O0000O over the record of 1915 It is interesting to note that, though gold is keeping practically at the level of produc- ton in former years, it has been surpassed oy both copper and fish in point of value of annual output. In 1916 Alaska copper 7roduct;on took the lead in the value of out0ut with an aggregate of S35,53t039; canned salmon was second in point of in portance with total value of S21,53S, lI3, while gold and silver yielded $1G,332, 2,117- The territory last year added SS40O0 900 to the wealth of the world, a wonderful showing from district possessing popula- tcn of G5,000 to 70,OC0.

ACCIDENT BRINGS PROBLEM
Keller Not Provided for soldiers Who
Die in Railway Wreck.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
TOXIC, Jan. 1S-The worst rail-
road accident in the history of Japan
occurred December l as n result of
a collision between troop train and
freight. Eighteen soldiers and
three railroad men were killed, sol
dieys were badly injured and about
80 others slightly hurt. The troop
train was transporting S43 recruits
to join their regiments and to begin
their military service. they were all
young men, from is to 20 years of
age.
The train was on its way from
Sendai to Hirosak, the headquarters
Of the Eighth army division, and just
before midnight while travelling at u
high rate of speed it crashed into the
freight. which had left AomOri a few
hours before.
As the recruits had not vet formal
ly enlisted in the army, neither the
families of the dead nor the injured
recruits benefit by the military law
which accords relief to men who have
died or who have been injured In the
service of their country
