Thp Io npprl nnt disturb itself over this New York situation It has nothing whatever to do with na tional affairs or policies Ou the part of Woodruff it is an effort to retain control of the New state organization Ou the part of the immediate friends of Roosevelt headed by Griscom it is an attempt to wrest the control from the Woodruff coterie There is nothing else at stake So we may leave the strife between individuals in New to take care of itself confident that it can have no bearing upon the greater problems that confront the nation and assured that be tween Roosevelt and Taft there is noth ing but friendship and mutual confi dence Nevertheless what Taft sought to ac complish a complete understanding as to platform and in New must in some manner still be brought about if the Republican party is Jo carry the state and give that indorse ment at the polls to the Taft adminis tration which the administration so richly deserves ROOSEVELT TO THE ARMERS The address which Colonel Roosevelt made on Wednesday of last week to the farmers of New York state who live in the neighborhood of Utica was one that was of more particular interest to the farmers themselves He declared at the outset that there are no two questions of more vital importance than the prob lems of conservation and of the better ment of public life but his discourse was without significance from a political standpoint spoke scientific farming and of the necessity of making country life attractive We do not suppose that anyone is go ing to quarrel with Colonel Roosevelt over the ideas which he advanced When land was cheap when there was plenty of it when the cities that afford ed markets were sparsely populated sci entific information was not of prime'im portance But in these days more farming is becoming a necessi ty Cities expand More produce is needed There is a market for every thing that is grown Europe calls for wheat The farmer who can make one acre do the work of two who can meas urably increase his output is the one who is going to profit Labor saving machinery has come into general use With it has come the slow but steady development of scientific investigations until farming is becoming a business ruii on business principles Not yet has this country learned all there is to learn about farming Indeed in many respects we are far behind The scientific treatment of land and crops makes for larger outputs but we have by no means except in scattered instances reached the point of farming such as is carried on in Europe where every acre of soil is made to produce to the limit There is unquestionably a great fu ture for farming With the constantly increasing population and the steady advancement in the knowledge of meth ods the farm is going to become an asset of tremendous value The young man born on the farm if he will but grasp the opportunities now offered for secur ing a scientific education has far better prospects for independence and fortune than has the average city born youth ROADS AND THE MAILS It is learnedrom the and Trade issued by the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor that au tomobiles are in regular use for carrying the mails in the vicinity of Birming ham Eng and that the postal authori ties are now instituting a motor service connecting London and Birmingham The to be used will car ry a maximum load of 5000 pounds and will travel at a speed of 12 miles per hour It is proposed to use the roads at night for the purpose of transporting the through mails the arriv ing at the terminus at an early hour in the morning The English roads are admirably adapted for the motor mail service and it is confidently expected that the Bir mingham London experiment will lead to a vast extension of the system The American postal authorities are greatly interested in the experiment but are doubtful as to its practicability in this country owing to road conditions It is apparent that with modern roads the mail delivery service could be greatly extended and many points given the prompt service they are now denied ow ing to the lack of steam railroad facili ties It is a striking commentary on the difference in road conditions in the two countries in the fact that the English postal authorities do not need to consid er any other phase of the question than that of adapting the motor car to their requirements The road question has long since been solved in England and there has been prompt and decisive ac tion taken to adapt the highways to the wear and tear of the automobile The mail service is but another argument for the proponents of good roads in the United States I MOORHEAD BROTHERS STETSON HATS MANHATTAN SHIRTS 1 fo: Jk I Al few i i iwjpii CT I BsWSWfWwM fetf ff Si fl II 7 wMM a wfrtWMMr Yf Yi'"
