In 20 years the averuge mortgage per farm has increased from $1,224 to $1,715. Hut the average faun is worth almost twice as much as it was 30 ye-, s ago, and the proportionate! burden of the mortgage lias ■Increas ed. Tile substitution of tenant farm era for proprietors of the soil, is not to lie regretted, in bis confession el faith. Mi Roosevelt declared that it must be stopped, but lie did not ex plain how it could be stopped The fanner who is getting on in years, whose sons have gone to the cities,' whose daughters have married and moved away, or with their mo'her pre fer to live in town, and whose faun that cost him a few hundreds, is worth many thousands of dollars, rents it to a farmer who has not capital enough to buy such a farm outright How Is Theodore Roosevelt going to stop that? it is a mistake to suppose that farm mortgages mean the poverty of farm ers. Nor does the increase in the amount of tenant-forming giean the degradation of the agricultural class, though It does involve a regrettable loss of independence. Farm mort gages are not negotiated to meet liv ing expenses; they ai" placed as an incident of buying property. The cul tivating class contains a steadily growing class of tenants, not because fanning does not pay, but because it does pay; it pays so well that tin value of farms constantly is rising. It takes much more money to buy a farm now than it did in or 20 years ago. and for that reason those culti vators who buy a greater proportion must borrow money. In addition to this the more profitable fanning Is the more land the well-to-do farmers seek to acquire, and they buy on credit be cause they can buy more land than than they could pay cash for. for. Of farms operated by their owners one-third are mortgaged and two thirds are free. The number of mort gaged fann8 have increased 17 per cent., and the number of clear farms has increased more than I per cent. More than 2,200,000 farms were ope rated by tenants in the last census year. The farms both mortgaged and clear, operated by their owners, num bered 2,948,722. and the number op erated by tenants was 2,254,676. The increase of tenant farmers in 10 years was 16 per cent., and tin- tenant farms constitute more tan 27 per cent. TRADE TSATEMENT. A trade state incut issued by Argen tina shows that the imports of that country from the United Kingdom in tile last fiscal year sliglitl} decreased from the preceding year. There was a much larger decrease from Germany, and a small increase from France, while there was an Increase of per cent, in the imports front this country. That is certainly a flattering exhibit for us. n nddoes not indicate a press ing need of greater governmental as sistance to our foreign trade. It is true that Argentina imports more from the United iugdoni and Ger many than from us. bu those coun tries also take more Argentine pro duce than we da, and all the Protec tionists assure us that the comniooi tioes of England and Germany are much cheaper than ours Tills should be a sufficient reason for Argentina’s buying more from them titan from ns. Our exports to Argentina art in creasing very fast, while those of Franco increase I it little and those of England and Germany decline. ONE BONA FIDE. One oil dissolution lias occurred which is undoubtedly bona fide The Standard Oil people have sold their holdings In the Water Pin e - Company to Mr. Pierce, and he is now wholly independent of them. 11} holding a majority of the stock in this concern the Standard Oil attempted to elect directors and control the smaller com pany. Pierce fought this on the ground that it was a violation of the decree ot dissolution, and lt<- insisted that the stock held b} Irlusf. or the late trust, should not he M-cognized in the election. Over this point litigation lias been proceeding Finally the Standard people have given up the contest and ended the suit by selling tip ir hold ings. The trust magnates are very slow to keep the settled policy of the people to break up the combination and enforce conditions of competition. It is encouraging to find the Plea gradually percolating through the Standard Oil tuind. GOV.

The McCombs telegram brought tile Governor the news that he bad await ed so anxiously to hear, that lie prob ably will be backed up at Washington by a Democratic House of Represent atives and Senate, without which be lias often said In hts addresses he could hope to accompt*3ti little.

Then he went quickly over to Ills desk lo get some papers. He was whistling ab sent ltiindedly. You could tell, on looking at him closely, that he dido I realize he was doing it. And none of the correspondents bad ever heard him whistle lik,- that before. Always Thoughtful of Others Just at that moment the telephone bell rang, and Mr. Malone called to the Governor that charge placed in the basement failed to ex plode. The damage is about 8200.
