' j “The Supreme Statesmanj >*»......,...____.........______ From the London Times. When Lord Grey of Fallodon was speaking recently at the Armstrong college, Newcastle, he allowed his “Thoughts on Public Life” to travel back nearly 40 years and found that in 1884, before the franchise was fully developed, the dominant questions of poli tics were simpler than they are today. Whoever looks yet4farther into the history of England will discover at least apparent reason to believe that it is a record of problems which have become suc cessively more cqmplcx; Yet to speak, in this connection, of sim plicity and complexity is to risk misunderstanding. It is a trueism among military historians that a campaign seen in retrospect has sometimes so deceptive an air of simplicity that a gift of chance may be mistaken for the reward of foresight, or a fault in local tactics be wrongly regarded, because diraster hap pened to follow in its train, as significant of strategical error. The eye bent upon the map of history is an Olympian, not a human, eye. It sees the ultimate wreck where an admiral saw only the bow wave of a frigate leaving harbour: it measures the distance between Moscow and Borodino with the help of a pair of dividers; and, turning from battefield to parliament house, is able to dis tinguish, among the detail and passion by which contemporary vision was obscured, the prevailing motives that inspired statesman and the inward spirit that brought political causes to triumph or decay. So it will be when the eye of posterity considers the present age. It will perceive in the turmoil of contemporary Europe a dominant issue stripped of administrative complexities. <Hir prob lems will seem simple then. It will be understood, in the light of events concealed from us, at what stage the development of public opinion is now arrived, Ts the name of supreme statesman which, as Lord Grey said., has been applied to it, to become more truly applicable? Is the problem of our age what he conceives it to he— the education of this great force so that upon the existing basis of representation, it may be not only supreme, but statesmanlike? Or are we to look, as some would have us look, to Russia,' and say that public opinion is dead, or to Italy, and believe that public opinion is entered upon a new phase, in which it shall no longer depend upon the representative machinery for its expression? Is our task to perfect an old instrument or to invent a new one? r~-~- - - - - -—— i I j A Farm for Everybody. t 2 Vernon Kellogg in The Philadelphia Ledger. The United States department of agriculture, Avhich issues many useful bulletins from its various scientific and economic bu reaus, every noAV and then issues an interesting one. Such a one is Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1,271—that number, by the Avay, suggests how vigorously the department is giving first educational aid to the farmers. This bulletin is devoted to pointing out and describing the land in the United States still a Available for settlement and to telling the prospeethre settler something about the conditions he may expect to meet, the types of farming prevailing in the different districts, and the agencies to Avhich he may apply for information. There are, one learns, about 1,000.000.000 acres of these United States not in farms. Probably the author of the bulletin does not mean to suggest that most of our cities are to be scrapped so that their acreage may be tilled, or that all the rest of these billion acres are aArailable for farming. In fact, he points out that “40, 000,000 acres of this large area are absolute desert, other parts are too rugged for cultiAation and some of it is covered with infertile soil.” But most of the rest of this large acreage is suitable for some£ kind of agricultural use. Of the arable land, about 270,000,000 acres are forest and cut over land, or land needing drainage or irrigation, or other unimproved land. We have approximately 113,537,000 acres of land, most of it in the south, noAV too wet for cultiAation, but 91,543,000 acres of this land can be reclaimed for agriculture if Ave will spend the money to reclaim it. Also, Ave have 51,000,000 acres of irrigable land, mostly in t*he Avest, of Avhich a considerable part is already under irrigation. More money Avill irrigate more of it. About 600,000,000 acres are in the semi-arid Avest and fit only for grazing purposes. “HoAvever, there is no lack of acreage for the would be farmer who Avishes to acquire raw land.” Very encouraging, this, as to the supply of land. Less encour aging, perhaps, is the outlook for “Would be farmers.” There seeyi to be, in recent years, more Avould be frequenters of the urban bright lights than shouters of the “back to the land” slogan. Or if they shout, they let it go at that; they don’t really go back. HoAvever, Avith some millions of acres of still unused farm land, Avhat with government farm credits and Avhat with a con gressional “farm bloc” Avith a lively eye out and a solid vote ready for the farmers’ interests, the American who really wants to be farmer seems to have no valid reason for dallying longer where the bright lights burn but do not Avarm. Uncle Sam still seems to have a farm—and a farm credit—for everybody. I believe in prohibition. Sober America in the future will be a most dangerous competitor in commerce of all nations. In the future, it is either sobriety or commercial de cadence of other nations.—Thomas A. Edison. The more William H. Anderson. New York state superintendent of the anti-saloon league, reiterates his charge that there is a “wet” plot on foot to get him, the more one is con vinced that the charge is a smoke screen devised to hide what use was made of the $24,000 and more of the league’s funds which the New York district attorney is trying to trace. Anderson’s assertion that Raymond B. Fosdick is concerned in the plot is absurd. For the good of the pro hibition cause, it seems, Mr. Ander son should be handed his hat.

The fading of colors in dyed materials and wallpapers is said to be caused by j the invisible ultra-violet rays in sun- ! ligh*.

No, we nre not referring to birds, we mcnn that shy creature, the flying squirrel. He was the first aerialist and was the forerunner of the para chute and the flying machine, asserts a writer in Our Dumb Animals. It is probable that he taught enrly experi menters as much about flying ns did birds. Do you know any other four footed animal that flies? Tills squir rel is by nature a fly-by-night, ns he d >es most of his flying after dark, al though he will fly in the daytime if oc casion arises. Woodsmen sowing down trees have seen them • appear from a hole in a dead limb and fly out to safety before the tree fell. This little animal uses his tall as a rudder to guide him in his flight. He 1r nblo ' i fly becnuse of'membranes connect ing feet nnd legs on either side. Some flying squirrels are reddish colored, while others are gray. They are said to make good pets.
