The Question of the Hour
In the United States during the
ast two years twenty five thousand
saloons have been blotted out With
m average frontage for each saloon
of thirty feet a total frontage of
one hundred and forty two miles has
been swept away At last also the
consumption of drink shows a sub
stantial decrease After an appalling
yearly increase in beer consumption
for four decades in 1909 the flood of
beer receded 2400000 barrels At
three feet to each barrel there was
a falling off last year of a row of
barrels one hundred and thirty six
niles long The hard liquors whis
tle brandy and other fierce spirits
atere fared still worse The slump
iiu consumption began in 190S with a
decrease of 15000000 gallons
IfiTCihg a lineal foot to the gallon i
leave the country as drunken as be
fore Let all temperance
be encouraged to believe we are now
iisaged in a war which will conquer
md utterly abolish the liquor traffic
Jhess are grounds for our hope A
advancing civilization must
leae the saloon behind IrspioveJ
sanitary and humane regulations now
forbid spitting in public places pro
vide sanitariums to prevent the
spread of the white plague inspect
ihe meat and milk supply and de
stroy infested food forbid the em
ployment of young children and com
iel their attendance at school Cru
elty to the brute is also prohibited
iiy law In the atmosphere of such
js sentiment of carefulness for the
igfsts of all created things such a
exnSe source of crime poverty and
lisease such a monstrous social
ainmercial and moral peril as the
Ioon cannot long survive
The contest is made a universal
and constant struggle With Catholic
and non Catholic orders acting to
gether wonderful results have been
achieved and are sure to be increas
ed When members of both political
n
Pi
parties forget their inferences and
together sqite the liquor traffte
ihen we see the lawlessness checked
Brewery 3tocks are rapidly declin
ing New plans for both moral and
legal suasion are evolved as they
are needed The banners read All
at it and always at it UNITY PER
SISTENCY VICTORY These are
the sources of power the promises
of permanency and the pledges of
final and universal victory
This is not a wave or tide with a
flow and ebb It has the steady and
boundless power of a broad deep
and all conquering ocean current
The liquor traffic is doomed

BOLD HUNTER OF CRIMINALS
Methods Uced by Thoma3 F Byrnes
to Convict a Murderer
Trobably no muu was better known
In the world of police and none more
feand in the underworld than wus
Thomas F Byrnes formerly superin
tendent cf police and head of the de
tective department in New York who
died at his home in that city
Courage shrewdiiess and persistence
advanced him from the ranks as a po
liceman to the head of the department
and gave to him International fame as
a bold aud successful hunter of crimi
nals He It was who made Mulberry
street the peer of Scotland Yard and
spread the fame of his creations the
dead line aud the third degree to
the four quarters of the earth
In his methods there was nothing of
the Vidocq but he had traits which
the detective of Gctioii lacked His
own story of how he got the evidence
to convict young Michael E McGloin
of the murder of a Frenchman in New
York shows how he effected what ap
peared to be impossible
I knew he committed that murder
said Byrnes but how to prove it was
the question I even hired a woman
to keep him company for six weeks
and she would have lost an arm before
she would have given him away if she
had known what I wanted him for
But all she had to do was to keep me
Informed as to what he was doing
where he went and whom he associat
ed with At last In desperation I
played my last card I had him ar
rested and I arrested his three ac
complices each being taken separately

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
World Gathering In Washington Ex
pected to Be Largest Ever Held
The Worlds Sunday School associa
tion is to meet in trieunial convention
in Washington May 19 24 The plans
Include so many unusual and spectacu
lar features that there seems to be
warrant for the confident expectation
of the enthusiastic leaders that this
will be the most impressive demonstra
tion of organized Christianity the Unit
ed States has ever seen
It is a far cry from the obscure and
sneered at ragged school of Robert
Raikes little more than a hundred
years ago to the Washington conven
tion with a president governors sen
ators congressmen supreme court jus
tices and world famous business men
in attendance not to mention the hun
dreds of representative Christian lead
ers from all climes
One of the spectacular exhibits at
the Washington convention will be an
array of letters from the foremost pub
lic men in America reciting their per
sonal relationship to the Sunday school
This -will be a rather astonishing
showing the convention leaders de
clare revealing a real connection be
tween Sunday school training and suc
cess in life A great parade of mem
bers of adult Bible classes will pro
ceed down Pennsylvania avenue It
is expected that several thousand men
will be in line A childrens parade
for one afternoon of the convention is
also projected
A womens mass meeting and a mens
mass meeting are other program items
The afternoon sessions will be devot
ed to hearing from the foreigners and
these will be called a congress of the
world
The 1910 gathering in Washington is
expected to be the largest of all

movement sponsored by philanthro
pists of the United States and recent

ization of the National Farm Homes
association with Governor Herbert S
Hadley of Missouri as president has
met an immediate and popular re
sponse throughout the United States
Governor Hadley long has been an
ardent advocate of a return of city
dwellers to the farm and for months
has been working out the details df a
plan which he believes will solve
the high cost of living problem and at
the same time bring about more scien
tific farming
His plan is made up of the best fea

two of these fort- acre farms will con

School of Scientific Farming
Each colony also will include a cen
tral farm presided over by an expert
agriculturist who will oversee the
work on the farms the proper rotation
of crops etc Tenants will be given
ample time to pay for their farms and
their proflts have been figured out by
Hadley as averaging 3500 a year
Each colony will have a school
where scientific farming will be taught
in addition to the usual curriculum
Each group of thirty two farms will
cost complete it is figured 30000
thus allowing twenty colonies or GGO
farms on the original Investment the
number of farms to constantly Increase
as the tenants pay off their indebted
ness
Applications for farms will be pass
ed on by a committee appointed for
that purpose
Governor Hadley arrived In Kansas
City the other morning from St Louis
bringing the news of the wide interest
in the movement Before leaving St
Louis the governor received hundreds
of letters from persons interested in
the movement and a telegraphic In
quiry from the Canadian parliament
indicating that the Canadian govern
ment has been impressed with the
Idea
A Large Fund Not Needed
I was surprised tho governor said
at the tremendous interest shown in
the movement at the outset It shows
the great need for some such organ
ization as we have launched and the
big possibilities that are wrapped up in
its successful operation
It is not ray Idea that this organiza
tion shoulld collect a vast amount of
money for carrying out its purposes
I believe as a matter of fact that it
can more successfully serve its pur
pose as the machinery for carrying
out the desired ends in the movement
back to the soil
A philanthropist for example who
has 30000 he desires to Invest in the
encouragement of farming can turn
the money over to us and we can car
ry out his wishes and pay him 4 per
cent interest on his investment or a
man who has a large tract of land
similarly can turn it over to us on sat
isfactory terms We can plant the
land and handle it and place men and
their families on It The fine results
of our plan ought to be the difference
between success and failure to the in
dividual farmer
We will furnish the experts on our
central farm and the facilities and the
man who otherwise would fail being
isolated from these things would suc
ceed Besides giving those who other
wise could not obtain farms a chance
to procure them by an easy payment
plan we furnish through our central
farm unit the further incentive of
schools churches libraries and social
Intercourse the lack of which is driv
ing so many from the soil and discour
aging those who undertake the life
Our community plan will obviate the
feeling of isolation that Is the great
drawback now
Around the World on Horseback

continue his journey making his way
by lecturing and giving exhibitions of

occupied three years Hicks was a

Heres Something Worth Knowing
One of our farmer subscribers near
here tried a new wrinkle this week
In cleaning his harness He cleaned
it with Old Dutch Cleanser and saya
the result was all that he could de
sirethat it took off every speck o
dirt and didnt crack or stiffen the
leather Now his wife is using Old
Dutch Cleanser to clean the cream
separator milk pans and pails He
says it takes off all the grease re
moves all odor polishes at the same
time and leaves no taint to spoil
the milk as It Is free from all acids
and caustics This Is quite a dis
covery and our friends will realize
that it means a great lessening of la
