FRIDAY, AUGUST D, 1007.
WAR SCARE COMPLETELY DIS?
APPEARS.
People seem to have forgotten that .
there was a Japanese war scare with
active press agonts n few weeks ago.
The determination ot two nations to
avoid war makes it very hard lo bring
about hostilities. The governments' ot
Japan and the Culled Stillos do not
want war, und they will be able t<
(ivpid n clash, however much others
may waul to see a bloody and expen?
sive conflict. Ii may be said as a re?
futation of this assertion tl-.at the
governments of the United States und
Spain did not want war and yet it
came. Rut It musl be rjumomborod
that one entire political party de?
manded war, or what meant the same
tiling, the freedom of Cuhn. Joined
with this parly was enough of Iho
other party to make a majority In botA
houses of Congress. Congress bus the
power to declare war and it wan Con?
gress that took action which brought
on the conti lei with Spnin> it is to
lie doubted very much whether there
Ik a single Individual in Congress who
would favor any action in reference
to the Japanese which might cause ?
COIltllCt, unless perhaps members id
the California delegation. They do
not want war, but they do want a
wore vlgbroue policy adopted toward
the Japanese nnd favor such a policy
even if war should bo the result.
ONE MAN WHO DIDN'T LEAVE
THE FARM.
Every once in a while there breaks
out n discussion in the press us to
tho cause <,f the restlessness of young
men on the farms ami In the small
country towns. and the remedy
therefor. A great deal is said about
the young men who rush away to the
cities or go roving about the world,
and n great deal Is printed about tho
men who, grown tollworn and weary
in tho cities, long to gel back close to
nutate as life's evening draws to -t
close. The rolling stone that gathers
no moss Is discussed, und the roving
ninn who makes millions la held up as
n product of our later civilization thai
shows humanity at its liest ns n pro?
ducer; but little or nothing Is said of
the fellows who stick close to home,
nnd do their life's work within the
limited circle of their own Inglonook,
or their own little village or town.
But it Is accepted as a truism thai
"they also serve who only stand und
?wall," and certainly this old gentle?
man seems to have stood a good deal
and to have waited a long while. His
one hundredth birthday was cel.
brntcd a few days ago, nnd all the
peoplo of the little village or Middle
town springs, Vermont, participated
jin the celebration, Just as though he
were ? great general or a statesman
of vast Influence und power or a
scholar who has added vastly to the
world s store of knowledge. There was
A dinner to whic h every man, woman
and child in the plane was Invited.
Then there was a band conceit, foi
which a good hand was brought from
a city at the expense of the people.
In fact, tho whole celebration was a
tribute to Mr. Alphcus Heynes, who
was bom in Mlddletown Springs a
hundred yeara ago, hits never been
out of the little town, has been a dea?
con or the Presbyterian church for 71
years, voted at 1ft presidential elec
Hons, am! never tasted tobacco or It
quor.
NEW YOR,( TO LOOK INTO FARM
QUESTION.
Now York State Ih at last awaken?
ing to the fart that there are some
Illings In tlm commonwealth to he
considered hcside the cities which It
contains, it has been the policy of
New York in the past to advance In
every possible way tile cities to the
neglect of the country districts ond
the result lins been thai today tlm
.stale has about i^.noi) abandoned
farms on its hands and that In many
agricultural districts the population
lias d< creased from 40 to 50 per cent.
While some of the New England
stntes have realized for some lime
past that something must he done to
hold people in the country. New Votk
has allowed the mutter to drift along
umII now It has become almost a
menace to certain portions of the
stale.
The people of the stale are going
to hold u convention for the puipiiso
of ascertaining if possible some rem?
edy for the evil, If such It enn be
called. The farming Industry in that
slate has fallen In valuation within
the past decade or so $170,006,000.
That is an enormous amount oven
for a stale of the resources of New
York. The theory has beeil hdvanc-l
c<| thai the soil has become exhaust?
ed, hut exports Buy Unit thin is not
I rue and ihttl the soil Is good as over.
What the real cause Is the conven?
tion win endeavor to iimi out.
A farm lllllld in the northern part
or New York Stale arose at I a. ill.
isjid u very short time afterwards
lightning struck the bed which ho
had just piled out of. Tile lesson
is striking but still most men will
take the chance of remaining in bed
just a bit longer.
