EARTH CONFUSION
RAISED OCEAN FLOOR
CABLE SHIP DISCOVERS BED
OF OCEAN HAS RISEN TWO
MILES IN 20 YEARS.

LONDON.-Discovery by a cable
repair ship that the bed of the ocean
in the vicinity of ST. Helena had risen
two miles during the last 20 years has
led to a belief among scientists that
the whole southern Atlantic ocean
bed is undergoing vast CONFUSION
The discovery of this strange phe-
nomena was made recently when il
was reported by the Eastern Cable
Company that their cable between St.
Helena and Capetown was broken at
spot some 800 miles north of the
Cape. The cable had been laid in 1899
and had been in constant use.
On its arrival at the designated spot
the cable repair ship reported to Lon
don that, instead of the depth of the
water being 200 fathoms, or just
over three statute miles, as stated on
the chart, it was only a little more
than three-quarters of mile deep.

WILSON'S VIEW OF
ARTICLE 10 KILLED
ONLY NEGATIVE VOTE OF
PERSIA PREVENTS RENUN-
CATION BEING OFFICIAL.

GENEVA.-The Wilsonian inter
probation of article 10 of the league OF
nations covenant has been virtually
killed.
Article 10 lost its teeth in the league
assembly Tuesday in roundabout
but effective manner, when a vote was
taken on the Canadian amendment
proposing that each state should de-
eide for itself its degree of military
participation in fighting the battles of
the league.
Twenty nations voted for the
amendment, thirteen minor states sig
nihed their disapproval by abstaining
from voting. Persia was the only state
to vote against the amendment. Tech
nically the one negative defeated the
proposal, as unanimous approval was
necessary.
Will Act Accordingly.
The assembly, however, in view OF
the narrow margin or rejection trans
mitted the resolution, and the favor
able vote to the league council, init
mating that the council should guide
itself accordingly on the question OF
sending troops to the aid. of another
nation.
Thus, if subsequent league policy
follows the overwhelming sentiment
of Tuesdays meeting, it is clear that
league membership does not involve
sending troops to the aid of other
league members-unless nation de-
sires to do so of its own accord
Ex-President Wilson's attitude was
that the moral obligation of league
membership entailed the rendering OF
military aid when called upon by the
league.
On the basis Of Tuesdays opinion
it is assumed that henceforth article
10-the preponderant factor in keep
ing America out of the league-will
be Interpreted in such way that
league members can do as they please
in then question OF military participa-
ton
Remuneration of the Wilsonian in
depreciation may eventually be made
official as the Persian delegation is
querying its government for permits
sion to withdraw its negative vote.

CHARLES W. BRYAN'S
PRESIDENCY BOOM
WILL HIS BROTHER WILLIAM
BACK 1T, OR INITIATE WILL
SON? POLITICIANS ALERT.

WASHINGTON, D. Cone Of
the questions which have never been
answered is whether or not the judg-
ment OF former President Wilson ia
vors the nomination of his son-in-law
| William G. McAdoo, as the democrat
ic national standard-bearer 1t is pos
sible that the curiosity of the public
and the politicians as to this matter
will never be satisfied. 1t is well
known in political circles that the for
mer president was cold toward his
son-in-law's candidacy for the presi-
( Dental nomination four years ago,
Another question of relatively in the
political armament is shaping up with
regard to Brother Charlie" Bryan,
the present governor of Nebraska
Gossip in well-informed political cir
cles here is that Governor Bryan is a
serious prospective candidate for the
presidential nomination by the democ-
racy next year, and that the ground
work started many months ago. What
the public and the politicians will soon
be wanting to know is whether or not
William Jennings Bryan, himself
three times the democratic nominee, is
backing his brothers boom.
1t may be that the attitude OF the
more famous of the two brothers will
not be revealed until the democratic
national convention proceeds to ballot
candidate of the democracy can avoid
showing his hand for a long time, IT
he desires; for example, consider his
sudden shift from Clark to Wilson
during the balloting at the Baltimore
convention of 1912.
There are some who believe that
"the Commoner" is more formidable
when backing the boom of another
than when he is an outright candidate
himself. How his influence would be
affected if the other candidate were
his own brother is a matter of con-
lecture.
Many experienced politicians, if not
the most of them, are of the opinion
that it would hurt Mr.. McAdoo's
chances if his father-in were to
advocate McAdoo's nomination. As
suming that they may be right in this
view, it does not follow that Brother
Charlie" would be hurt by Brother
William open aid
If the Bryan strength in the coming
democratic convention should be gath
cred around Brother Charlie it might
be handled with much greater effect,
even though somewhat reduced, than
il scattered and without organization.
II might get the vice presidential place
on the ticket for the younger Bryan
brother. Second place would be spe-
cially worthy of considering if man
of the ripe age Of Gov. Ralston, of
Indiana, should be nominated for first
honors.
How much is William Jennings
supporting Charles W.? Is he going
to go the limit? That's a question for
political Einstein.

TENANCY INCREASE HAS REACHED IT'S LIMIT IN THE SOUTH

crease in the number of tenants, but
that the proportion Of tenants to own
ers is smaller.
In the south 37.3 per cent if the val
lie of all farm property is i'll farms
operated by tenants. Tenant farms
have 39.7 per cent of the value of farm
land in the south, 23.4 per cent of the
value of all farm buildings, 22.2 per
cent of the value of implements and
machinery, and 1873 per cent of the
value of the live stock.
The foregoing figures indicating the
extent and trend of tenancy in the
south force the opinion that our prob
lem is not necessarily one of prevent
ing the increase of tenancy, for il
seems to have about reached its linn

ture it will probably be small.

PREDICT FIREWORKS
IN NEXT CONGRESS
SESSION WILL BE A STORMY
ONE WITH RADICALS HOLD
ING BALANCE OF POWER.

Washington will witness lot OF
fireworks when the lawmakers OF the
country gather in December to con-
vene the sixty-eighth congress OF the
United States
Indications are that the coming leg
islative session in the national capital
will be one of the stormiest in the
history of the country
Test for President
Congress will afford the first real
test of President Coolidge. A number
of radicals are packing up for the trip
to Washington and they are bound
to make some trouble for the presi-
dent, who is decidedly a conservative.
The sixty-eighth congress will be
known as a republican congress, yet
the republicans will not be in control.
The last house of representatives was
composed of 298 republicans, 100
democrats, socialist and vacancies.
The next house will consists of rs
republicans, 203 democrats, indie
pendent, l farmer-labor member, l
socialist and 4 vacancies.
There are enough radical republl-
cans in the house to offset the repub-
1ican advantage by voting with the
democrats. A like condition prevails
in the senate. The old senate had So
republicans, 81 democrats. The new
senate will have So republicans and AZ
democrats. Should six republicans vote
with the democrats the latter will
have a majority.
1t is altogether likely that on quite
a few issues there will be six repub-
licans who will vote against their par
ty. These are Senators LaFollette,
Brookhart, Norris, Frazier, Laid and
Norbeck.
Evenly Divided.
AS between the republicans and
democrats, pretty evenly divided, the
radicals will hold the balance of pow
er. A regular administration program
of legislation will be impossible dur
ing the next session OF congress IN
view OF this condition.
The radicals will undoubtedly wish
to put through farm legislation and
there is talk already OF numerous
probes" which will be agitated.
Standard oil, the beef trust, the rail
roads, the water power trust and ev-
erything that smacks of bigness in
business will be investigated.
"Blocs" and the bloc idea" will
likely prevail. immigration, the rail
roads, the tariff, the merchant marine
and the world court will furnish grist
for the lawmaking machinery, and
with great divergence of opinion on
all these questions and no party sit
ting in majority there is bound to be
lot of verbal action in the legisla-
tive chambers in Washington during
the coming winter.

A study OF the distribution OF farms
in the United States according to ten
ure for each of the ten-year periods
since 1880 reveals the fact that the
greatest increase in tenancy took place
from 1890 to 1900, says the Progress
sive Farmer.
In that decade the number of tenant
farms about doubled, their number IN
creasing much more rapidly than the
number of farms worker by owners.
Since 1900, however, the increase IN
tenant farms has slowed down great
w. and from 1910 to 1920 the increase
was only 49, per cent. In 1880 only
one-fourth OF the farms in the United
States were operated by tenants; IN

For TIE south as a whole the per
centage of tenancy in 1920 was the
same as for 1910 namely, 400 per
cent; and among the sixteen states
counted as southern by the census bu-
reau only six showed an increased
per cent of tenancy; Georgia, North
Carolina. South Carolina, Arkansas,
Louisiana and Texas. Georgia with
900 per cent OF her farms operated
by tenants leads all states. Tennessee
and Mississippi show the same per-
centage of tenancy in 1920 as in 1910,
while Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky and
Oklahoma show a decrease ranging
from a traction OF l per cent in Ken
lucky to As per cent decrease in West
Virginia. This decrease does not nee
essarily mean there was an actual de-

1890, 28.4 per cent; in 1900, 1858 per
cent; 1910, 81 per cent, and in 1920
1871 per cent.
In the south a larger per cent OF
the farms are operated by tenants
than in the country as whole. There
are 3,2O6,664 farms in Greater Dixie
and of this number 1911 or 400
per cent are worked by tenants. How
ever, this number of tenant farmers
includes 561,O91 troopers, who in one
sense of the word are not tenants but
merely hired hands. There is no great
difference between a cropper and a
hired hand. One of them receives his
pay in share of the crop and the
other in money, but neither one eNer-
cises any appreciate control over the
handling of the land. The farm owner
decides what is to be done, and both

If troopers were not considered as
tenants the percentage Of tenancy in
the south would be reduced from 400
per cent to $50 per cent, for troopers
make up IS per cent of all the tenants
in the south However, the largest
tenure class in the south is the share

who composes about 81 per cent of all
tenants. Cash tenants make up IS per

while the other 5 per cent is compos-
ed of share-cash and unspecifed ten
