that their places on the farm cannot be
taken or supplied by men from the cities.
AS have heretofore stated, the man ac-
customed to city life is wholly unframed
and inexperienced in the matter of per-
forming the duties of the farmer. AS
little as we think about it, there are no
more skilled, artistic, and, in many in
stances, scientific laborcrs in the land than
the successful tiller of the soil. The sue

There are statistics in plenty of the
work being done and the workers sum-
moned thither to do it. But tits not the
purpose here to deal at length with them
The point to be made is that the fact
that there is new Washington and a
real capital is in the air; you feel it every
where, as you just walk the streets, or
cross the great squares that face the
White House and the Capitol. 1t is in
the air as spring is in the air, this new
sense of power and pride. The lovely
older buildings of the government havs
taken on new look of solidarity and age,
and the white shaft of the Washington
Monument seems to pierce newer,
higher blue. And all American history
wanders by upon the breeze.

WHEN You Dine Out, You

everybody has people in to dine. There
is a difference, and it is an admirable
change. You go out to dinner only Sec

1t is out of the question that any one,
even the lightest minded, should talk OF
anything else. There are, it is true, dark
rumors of an old unregcnerate gay SET q
relic of ante-bellum days, which stu
meets to talk nonsense and accomplish
folly. But these reunions, if they 90 take

politics. He first entered Parliament in
1880 as member for Tipperary that was
the beginning of tempestuous career.
Three times, it is reported, he was i'm
prisoned for his public utterances or acts,
first in 1882, again in 1888, and the third
time in 1891. The usual charge against
him was that of melting Irish tenants to
resist payment of rents.

Mr. BORAH-That would be a very
good solution. If they feel that they do

of the Washingtonian social body which
has not been stimulated by the arriving

in Washington has increased so that his

there is no need to go on with the list;
there is in Washington not enough of
