Not an arrest nor In tntarceration in
the city bastile on Thanksgiving. This
certainly speaks well for good citizenship.
Those ten prisoners who died at Manila
as a result of an experiment with
cholera virus, may have known they
were dying in a good cause, but that don't
excuse those in charge for using virus
infected with bubonic plague.
A poet in the New York Sun says of
the negro troops, "They followed the flag

Russia has evidently taken pattern from
America in the roboery of the relief funds.
Tne graft in the San Francisco funds was
doubtless the tip they attempted to dupli
cate. It is to be hoped, however, that
Russia will set us an example in bringing
the thieves to justioe.

The Southern educational association
will soon take the first step looking to the
introduction of agriculture as a part of
common school work. It has secured
from the university of Tennessee an
agreement to establish a chair of agricul
tural pedagogy, providing the association
will furnish the salary of the professors.
Thruout the country attempts in'various
ways are being made to teach agriculture
in some of its many forms as a part of
regular school work. These efforts are
seriously hannicapped, and in many cases
nullified, by the lack of teachers fitted to
teach this subject in addition to the reg
ular courses required . It is to overcome
this defect that the proposed chair of
agricultural pedagogy is to be established.
It it first proposed to send the occupant
of this chair to places in this country and
Europe where agriculture is being taught
to children, to study in detail methods
used. This is to be followed by the organ
ization of a -school in which agriculture
will be taught to children in the best
manner possible.
When this school has become an estab
lished fact, courses will be offered in
agricultural pedagogy for teachers, and
those who begin this course will be given
the opportunity to take part in the instruc
tion in the already established school.
Prof. W. J. Spillman. agriculturist of the
United States department of agriculture,
is deeply interested in this plan. His well
known enthusiasm, and his practical ex
perience in organizing investigation work
will give this movement a splendid impe
tus. The work needs endowment that
will bring an annual income of about
$3500. The working out of this plan
will be watched with keen interest by
educators all over the country, including
the west.
Land frauds have finally reached Utah
and not a few of the prominent men have
their reputation at stake and in view of
the convictions in Oregon the moment a
man is suggested of having been mixed
up in a land fraud transaction, the public
c.mvtcts him in this state long before the
case comes to trial.

There were many homes made yester

A violent agitation has been caused in
New Zealand by the government's effort
to eract a law providing that, hereafter,
no individual or corporation jnay own or
lease more than 1000 acres of first-class
land, or 6000 acres of second-class land
ar.d any individual, firm cr corporation
owning unimproved land exceeding $250,
000 m value, must sell all in excess of
such value within ten years from passage
of t-e act. This is the most drastic plan
which any government has yet sought to
enact. It is hemg sternly resisted bv
'arje landholders and other property
nterests, and yet some of this very class
are jo'ning the rest of the public in favor
irg the plan, If it wins, the result will
