PEOPLE DRIFT
TO THE CIr'I'.r.'o' C1'Il!'I''..' :.
T;sc. 4dI qBldg
Loss Of Rural Population Presents
One of Great Economic Prob
lens of this Country

The last census showed that about
so per cent of the people of the United
States resided in cities of 1900 people
or larger, a condition tnat never before
existed in this republic. One hundred
years ago nine out Of every ten per
sons resided on the farm and since
that time there has been gradual
drifting to urban centers. This ques-
ton was discussed by the members
of the Fortnightly Literary club on
Friday night, DR.. G. T. Thuerer pre-
senting a paper on "Loss in Rural
Population" and S. A. Pelton one on
Solution of the Farm Problem" The
club was entertained at the home Of
Mrs. e. NJ Hoag.
DR.. Thuerer stated the drift to the
cities in ancient times was for a. diff
ferent reason than at the present
time, now the question meant one of
social adjustment. He took Ohio and
showed how the cities have been grow
ing since the days of the Civil war,
until at the present time but seven
counties in the Buckeye state have
rural populations greater than cities.
There are a number of causes for this
condition, among them being:
Rapid rise in living conditions.
Little free land in the west-no
great movement in that direction.
A slight movement of population to-
ward the east.
Only one of family can remain on
farm-others must go elsewhere,
Greater attractions in the cities.
Hours of labor less in cities not on
duty SO early in morning or late at
night.
More companionship.
Neater clothes.
Hardships in city not so great.
Housing conditions better.
Amusements more attractive.
College educated young people sell
dom return to farm.
Those who are not. a success on farm
drift to cities.
In conclusion the speaker urged a
more kindly feeling between urban
and rural people. He said that all
should realize all walks Of life must
be filled, a necessary condition for the
good of humanity.
Solution of Farm Problem
In opening this subject Mr. Pelton
said the cost of crops depended large
ly on weather and wages; that the
cost must be less than the
selling price Farmers do not often
make big profits and are at the mercy
of the large marts of trade.
Recently farm product prices fell
fifty per cent in ninety days, and the
sneaker claimed, according to farm
journals, this was due to no credit.
The banks had loaned money to the
farmers some months ago but would
not extend credit, forcing sales of
stock and grain. For this reason 26
banks closed in North Dakota, he said:
farmers could not pay notes All
records for the receipt of stock at the
Chicago yards were broken on No
vember Is, this being large element
in causing a downward trend to pri-
ces.
Some farm heads urge legislation
to favor the farmer others urge or
gam zation. The remedy seemed to
be in better selling, better distribu-
tion, fixed prices.
In his investigation he found the fol-
lowing figures compiled short time
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1921-02-10

1t will be seen that hay was the
only product that showed a profit.
In the Discussion
In the discussion it was shown that
not only the farmer but many lines
were caught in the recent collapse.
Banks have not only refused credit to
the farmers but to the wholesalers as
well, many sugar merchants and 9TH
ers going to the wall. The question of
supply and demand is world wide and
with Europe not buying, it stands to
reason prices would be low. Some
voiced a sentiment not in favor of
legislation for any class, soviet ideas
not beng best for the majority. 1t was
pointed out that the majority of far
mers have more property than the ma
jority of people in the cities. While
there are some phases of his life not
attractive yet this is true of almost
all work. 1t was further held adjust
ments usually come IN due time and
that there is as much sunshine as
storm in this work-a-day world

He went through the house investi-
eating this and that. and finally he
came upon shiny and well oiled re-
volver in a. bureau drawer in his
fathers bedroom. Salvatore picked 1t
up. brandished 1t about his head and
liked the feel of 1t. He rushed with
II into the room where Angelina was
still tearing the old geography and
littering the floor with the pages

He raced about the room astride an
imaginary bucking bronco, brandishing
the revolver. while Angelina squirmed
and giggled In excitement. But finally
Salvatore stopped in front Of her, placed
the gun against her head and pressed
the trigger. He had intended to say

bronco. because. Of course. he had no
idea that the revolver was loaded. But
he never said It. The gun exploded as
soon as he pressed the trigger and the
heavy bullet ploughed deep into Ange-
iina's head. killing her instantly.
The little girl fell to the floor, and
Salvatore stood staring at her for .
moment. He hardly realized what he
had done. He was greatly confused and
frightened by the noise, and then when
his sister fell he called to her TO know
what was the matter. He didn't know
what to do. But when he shook An
gelina and received no answer from her
ne became terribly frightened and ran
into the street and didn't come back for
half an hour.
BY that time the house was filled with
neighbors and policemen, all OF whom
began to question the frightened boy.
He told them what he had done. and he
was at the height of the telling when
his mother came home. She tainted as
soon as she saw the body Of Angelina
and had to be attended by DR.. Brody.
Then the policemen took Salvatore to
the rooms of the Children's Society. and
he will be arraigned In the Children's
Court this morning.

Supreme Court Justice Edward r.
Finch handed down a decision yester-
day restraining Police Commissioner

at the $3.50 pension of chief inspec-
tor. The action was begun by william

Union. as taxpayer. and was judged
on the pleadings of counsel without
trial.
Justice Finch held that when the
defendant on January "a. 191S was ap-
pointed Police Commissioner he ceased
to be a member OF the force" Mr.
Enright has contended that he was
still a lieutenant on leave OF absence
from active duty until a few months
ago. when he resigned from the uni

pensioner.

CRAIG WINS MAYER
CONTEMPT APPEAL
Sentence of 60 Days in Jail
Imposed by Judge Of District
Court Set Aside.

Circuit Judge Martin T. Manton yes
terday sustained the writ of habeas
corpus obtained by Charles L. Craig
City Comptroller. from a judgment OF
contempt OF court adjudged by Federal
Judge julius NJ. Mayer. and granted his
petition for discharge. Judge Mayer
had sentenced the Comptroller to serve
sixty days In the Essex county Jail IN
Newark
The decision, which was composed oil
twenty-three typewriter pages, is based
on the conclusion that Judge Mayer ex-
ceeded his jurisdiction. It holds that
there was no criminal contempt in the
Craig letter. which was the basis of the
litigation.
When the writ was argued before
Judge Manton nearly two months ago
Francis G. Caffey. United States Attor-
ney. stated that the prosecution would
abide by the courts decision. Mr.. Caf-
fey refused yesterday to comment on the
decision. but 1t was reported that he
would place the matter before Attorney
1t be referred to the United States Su-
preme Court. Judge Mayer also refused
to comment on the decision.
The contempt proceeding grew out of
a letter written by Mr.. Craig on October
s. 1919, to Lewis Nixon, then Public
Service Commissioner. In II Mr.. Craig
criticised Judge Mayer Tor his ruling on
transit matters involving the operation
OF tire Brooklyn Rapid Transit and In
terborough companies.
In his decision Judge Manton said:
The. conclusion is Irresistible that the
court exceeded It's jurisdiction by an
excess Of power in adjudging the ae-
fendant guilty.
There is no divinity about the office
or duties of judge which makes him
free from criticism. The statute re-
auircs a misbehavior which causes an
