great audiences completely filled the different places of meeting The Town Hall the John Street United Free church and St Andrews hall On June 5 one hundred and twenty-five pulpits in Glasgow were filled by the delegates Surely on that day gospel temperance had its say Probably the most picturesque meeting of the convention was the childrens demonstration Several thousand children marched in proces sion to the town hall flying banners and accompanied by bands of bagpip ers and fifers in Highland garb In the hall there was a chorus of five hundred children to lead in the sing ing and when all in the hall were The children vociferously cheered those who addressed them All of which recalled the saying Tremble King Alcohol we shall grow up Another picturesnue session of the convention was the evening devoted to the young peoples branch usually spoken of as the Ys There was a large chorus of young ladies ac companied by twenty five or more joung lady violinist The speeches made by young ladies among whom as Lady Dorothy Howard the daughter of the Countess of Carlisle She said she rejoiced in the fact that her mother had from her child hood given her a temperance train ing A superb white satin banner was awarded to the Ys of Japan for having the largest proportion of increase in membership during the last three years The last session of the evening wa novel and most interesting One hundred speeches of one minute each were made by one hundred women Mere are a few samples Why dont you shut up the liquor instead of shutting up my husband asked a soman in New Zealand who was ac

A special resolution was passed against the sale of opium and intoxi cants to native races Also a resolu tion was passed asking that the con ference of nations at the Hague use its influence to induce Great Britain to release opium treaties with China and thus make it possible for the Chinese to liberate their country from the opium curse Another special resolution Avas pas sed pledging loyalty to the observance of Worlds Temperance Sunday on th date named by the International Les son Committee The holding of the great conven tion should be a decided benefit to Glasgow for out of it should come uplift for the drunken women who are to be seen standing on street cor ners in idle listless attitudes ragg ed and forlorn and whose cries are to be heard in the streets at all hour of the night Some of the delegates of the convention held meetings among them and quite a number were desirous of giving up drink The W C T U of Glasgow is working bravely for these women and the con vention will bring them much re enforcement The officers elected by the con vention were president the Countess of Carlisle vice president Mrs Lilia M N Stevens of the United States secretaries Miss Agnes B Stack and

gives the commission power to initiate an inquiry although uo formal complaint has been made It confers on the commission the power to suspend for ten months a proposed advance in rates and to prohibit such advance permanently if found to be unreasonable and unjust This provi sion went into effect at once in order that it might apply to the proposed in crease in freight rates recently

proper security 5 per cent shall constitute a reserve fund and 30 per cent may be invested in government bonds In cases of ex traordinary emergency however the president may invest all the funds in government bonds Western senators protested against the bond buying fea ture of the act and against the security required from local banks on the claim that these provisions would operate to throw the postal funds Into Wall street Statehood and Conservation The act admitting Arizona aud New Mexico as separate states provides that the people of these territories shall proceed to the formation of constitu tions which shall go into effect when ratified by the voters and approved by congress and the president There was some hitch as to voting qualifications in Arizona but this was fixed by a broader suffrage than that now recog nized i the territory It is probable that the two new states will be in the Union by 1111 making forty eight in all and using up all the territory in the United States available for state hood purposes This of course is ex clusive of Alaska and our Island pos sessions It is time to put two more stars on the flag Originally President Taft recom mended nine conservation measures Two of these passed The land with drawal act empowers the president -to withdraw from entry temporarily any lauds now in the possession of the United States but provides that land containing metalliferous minerals shall be subject to entry under the mineral land law The act was criticised by such conservationists as Gifford Pin chot because it failed to validate the withdrawals of President Roosevelt and by implication at least threw a doubt on their legality and because the provision as to the mineral land law and that concerning homestead entry left a loophole for the private acquirement of water power sites and other natural resources The other measure enacted which was not strictly a conservation act but was related thereto was the reclama tion bond bill This was originally put at 30000000 but was cut to 20000 000 A fight was made on the provi sion requiring army engineers to pass on irrigation projects which was thought to reflect on the reclamation service and possibly to mean the sup planting of Director Newell who had testified against Secretary Iiallinger It was finally compromised by provid ing that the president must approve such projects and it is presumed that he will use army engineer- to investi gate them The purpose of the recla mation bond measure is to raise money to complete irrigation projects already undertaken by the government Campaign Fund Publicity The campaign publicity law which the president advocated although it was not usually classed as one of the Taft policies requires that candidates for congress shall file a statement of election icceipts and expenditures aft er election The Democrats made a fight to compel publication before elec tion and a provision to this effect was included in the house bill but was aft erward stricken out in the senate The president also succeeded in get ting an appropriation of S2 O0j0 for the tariff board witi avowed in tention of having it iiMTtc th - of production at

Broad cast Over the World Issued by the Nebraska Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics From 64772S2 acres planted to con in 1909 Nebraska gathered a crop ot 169179137 bushels worth 98123871 That crop if loaded into standard freight cars 1200 bushels to the car would have made a freight train long enough to reach from Chicago to Den ver 1040 miles with 175 miles of corn filled cars left over to adorn the side tracks There are millions of acres of corn land in Nebraska that have never been touched by the plow In 1909 Nebraska harvested 50313 COO bushels of wheat from 2564379 acres an average of practically 20 bushels to the acre This wheat crop was worth nearly 46000000 If that wheat crop had been loaded into stand ard freight cars it would have made a train long enough to reach from Omaha to McCook on the Burlington or from Omaha to North Platte on the Union Pacific There are millions of acres ot wheat land in Nebraska that have never been touched by the plow The duty of Nebraskans who de sire to assist in the work of develop ing the state is to call the atten tion of home seekers to the oppor tunities that are offered by this great young state There are 100010 quarter sections of unoccupied land in Nebraska that may be made into profitable farms The soil is fertile the rainfall quite equal to that of other sections that have become agriculturally rich and the transportation facilities far su perior to what the more favored sec tions had a dozen years ago There is room and opportunity for the accumulation of a competence for 250000 more farm owners in Ne braska The hardships of the early pioneers need no longer be endured by new comers They will have the advantage of schools and churches and railroads and markets right from the start Their only capital needs to be industry frugality and honesty Some of Nebraskas most prosper ous farmers today were renters ten or fifteen years ago What they have done a hundred thousand more men may do within the next ten or fif teen years The same capital the same soil and the same frugality necessary to acquire a competence in the Canadian northwest would mean ample riches after an equal length of time upon a Nebraska farm For years the Argon ants traveled across the plains of Nebraska in search of the gold and silver of the mountains unmindful of the fact that at the grass roots in Nebraska lay a greater store of gold and silver than were hidden in the mountains in all the ages of the past eternal mines of riches that grew more fruitful as the days went by From the grass roots in Nebraska in any one of the last ten years has been mined more wealth than the famed gold fields of Alaska have yielded in a decade and the men who mined their wealth from the soil of Nebraska endured no hard ships compared to the hardships of the Alaskas Other thousands are being lured to the bonanzas of the northwest un mindful of the fact that greater rich es and greater opportunities lie in bthe soil of the great state of Ne braska There are millions of acres of gov ernment land in Nebraska all of it good for something most of it good for general purposes and much of it good for anything in the line of agriculture suited to the temperate zone - The hundreds of growing cities and towns offer inducements for mer chandising and manufacturing The mechanic may find employment in the smaller cities where the cost of living is comparatively small and where the opportunity to become a home owner is greater By and large from east to west and from north to south Nebraska offers more inducements to the in dustrious frugal and honest home seeker than any other similar ex panse of territory on the North Ameri can continent This truth should be spread to the four corners of the earth
