SAYS FEDERAL EXPERT
Pacific Slope and Southwest States
Have Areas Like Holy Land and
Can Learn of New Plants and Old
Methods of Great Value.
/^OLONEL JOSEPH II.
ACKLEY, of Nashville,
who has been appointed < ‘hief
Game Warden of'the United
States. Me will assist in the
enforeement of the migratory
bird law.
The agricultural possibilities of Pal
estine. and especially it* potentialities
as a soun e <.f enrichment of agricul
tural knowledge and agricultural de
velopment In thin country, are pointed
nut in an article on Jewish coloniza
tion In Palestine, written by (J. F.
(’ook, «»f the Bureau of Plant Indus
try at Washington, for The Popular
Science Monthly. After telling about
the work of Aaron Aaronxohn, the
young director of the United Htates
Agricultural Station at Haifa, who
discovered no-called “wild wheat."
which will grow on arid soil* where
present-day wheat could not thrive,
Mr. <"ook nay a:
"Even among those who have urged
ihe colonization of Palestine for rea
sons of philanthropy and national pa
triotism. there ban been a rather tardy
appreciation of the Importance of sci
entific exploration and Investigation of
agricultural neounen there.
"There in a special reason why thin
agricultural knowledge in likely to !>•
much more valuable In the United
Htaten than in Europe, for we have in
our Pacific. Coast and Southwestern
Staten en<*rmoun agricultural re
source* ntlll undeveloped under nat
ural conditions that are much more
Asiatic than European.
Need Asia's Knowledge
• In other words, we have need to go
hack to Asia to g**t the remainder
of the agricultural plants and agricul
tural knowledge that were not carried
to Northern Europe because the Eu
ropean conditions were unfavorable.
Thus the establishment of colonies in
Palestine by European Jews has had
the entirely unexpected result of
opening the country to agricultural
exploration In the Interest of Amer
ican agriculture.
"The tendency has been to think of
Palestine as a refuge for the oppress
ed rather than as an opportunity for
developing a new agricultural civili
zation. But If the colonization move
ment continues it must be only a
question of time when the traditional
Idealism of the people will assert It
self in agricultural lines, as it has In
so many other forms of human ac
tivity.
"In spite of all that has been said of
the devastation of Palestine," contin
ues Mr. Cook, "the country has rich
possibilities of agricultural develop
ment. The prevailing notion that the
Promised Land Is now a hopeless des
ert rests largely on the impressions of
travelers who con flue themselves to
flu regular tourists’ route from Jaffa
up to Jerusalem, and then down to
Jericho and the Dead 8es.
Geographer Shows Ignorance.
"The districts visited on such a trip
give about as correct an Idea of the
country as might he obtained If a vis
itor to this country were to land at
Eos Angeles or San Diego, and then
travel over the mountain* to Indio
and th Halton Hea. Even the most
recent account of Palestine written
by a professional geographer shows a
very Inadequate appreciation of the
factors that determine the agricultural
possibilP 1 '* of the country.
"Whether any ordinary system of
formal education in schools will have
any practical results In Palestine
seems very doubtful. Some parts of
the country are already overstocked
with different kinds of charitnble and
religious Institutions, many of them
engaged in educational work, but ap
parently with as little relation to the
requirements of actual life as similar
institutions In Europe and America.
"For effective agricultural education
In a country like Palestine there must
be places where men, young and old,
can acquire correct habits of doing
farm work, become accustomed to the
atmosphere of farm life, and learn
something of its possibilities. Agri
culture Is a habit and a method of
life, not merely a science to he studied
or an art to be pursued for profit
alone.
Schools Fail.
"Agricultural education, in the nar
row sense of formal scholastic Instruc
tion in agricultural facts, commonly
falls to accomplish Its Intended pur
pose of Improving life on the farm. At
the same time that the boys are being
Instructed in agricultural knowledge
they may be losing their Agricultural
habits and becoming less adapted to
agricultural life.
"After their course in agriculture
they are more likely to enter some
other line of activity Involving less
responsibility than agriculture and
more similar to th** work and life of
the school to which thev have be
come thoroughly accustomed. The un
intentional training In town life usual
ly has a stronger Influence then the
formal instruction of the school.
"The event proves the boy has been
educated aw'uy from agriculture rather
than to It. Whether agriculture or
other subjects have been studied
makes little difference In comparison
with the c hange of habits of life. Thus
WANTS TIE CUT
Lillian D. Post and George L.
Lary Considered Wedding Cere
mony Only as Betrothal,
the general effect of agricultural
schools and colleges In the United
Htates has been to take more of the
boys away from the farm, or, in other
words, to rnnk» our civilization more
Industrial and commercial, rather than
more agricultural. Even less can he
expected In Palestine than In the
United States from the establishment
of agricultural schools of the ordinary
sort, because of the lack of previous
agricultural contacts In the life of
the student."
Litigants Dead When
Court Finally Acts
FINDLAY, OHIO, Dec. 13.—A strik
ing example of the Inx speed In law
suits was learned when the Supreme
Court handed down a decision In a
case where defendant, plaintiff and
one of the counsel had died since the
Inception of the litigation.
Borne years ago Miss Margaret
Knapp, a stenographer, sued William
H.eckert, of Toledo, for $5,000. Miss
Knapp lost in the Common Plea.-.
Court, won In the Circuit Court, and
now ihe Supreme Court has upheld
the circuit court.
In the meantime Miss Knapp. Heck-
ert and an attorney in the case, Judge
W. Seney, have died.
NEW YORK. Dec. 13 Miss Lillian I
D. Post, of No. 151 Central Park
West, lived for ten years within two I
blocks of her husband without ever
suspecting she was married.
In fact a Supreme Court referee
decided yesterday that she never was
married, although she has been a wife
all the time. The paradox is ex
plained by her assertion that she
thought the marriage ceremony was
only a formal betrothal.
The referee, William W. Hoffman,
yesterday recommended an annul
ment decree, because the relations of
Miss Post and her husband, George
Lester Lary, of No. 252 Fourth street,
Jersey City, have always been pla
tonic.
Miss Post—-she has always gone by
this name and even her meet inti
mate friends have never known her
as a wife -testified at the secret trial
as follows:
Bridegroom Wa* III.
"I was 1ft on November 1ft. 1903.
and had Just graduated from the
high school. Mr. Lary was then
20 years of age and had been calling
on me for two years. I ha Ye always
lived In Jersey City and arn only
temporarily In New York. Mr. Lary
had an attack of typhoid fever and
afterward pneumonia and then had
another relapse of typhoid In 1903.
After he recovered he came In my
home.
“He said that we could go to New
York and go through a formal be
trothal ceremony. I was sort of sorry
for him, as he was quite ill at the
time."
Never Thought It Marriage.
Miss Post told how she and Lary
went before the Rev. Dr. Hartley,
pastor of the Hope Baptist Church,
on 104th street, and were married.
"No, I did not consider it a mar
riage,” she testified, “because 1 al
ways supposed that two people who
are not residents of a State and don’t
Intend It to he a marriage are not
really married."
It was not until six weeks ago that
Mrs. Margaret Post, mother of the
bride, heard of the ceremony and
suggested an annulment.
Deer Chews Tobacco
Six Days Each Week
Intelligent Animal Knows Store Is
Closed Sunday and Observes
the Sabbath.
SPOKANE, WASH . Dec. 13. At leant
two persons whose veracity goes un
questioned among their fellow* have j
brough' to Spokane a story of a pet

The deer la a 9-month-old buck ani
mal which domiciles near Coolln, Idaho,
and his biographer* and sponsor* are

chandise store at that town, and Charles
Boon, a well-known Spokane hotel clerk.
Mr. Paul say* the deer appear* at his
store every day in the year, except Bun-
day* and makes himself a general nui
sance until given a chew of tobacco.
"The Intel Igent anlqial ha* come to
realize that the store Is closed on Bun-
day." said Mr Paul, in Spokane to
day.

Man Made Pig What
He Is To-day’-Psters
BOSTON, Dec. 13.—Offend not th
finer sensibilities Of your pigs, if you
have any. 1* the advice of Dr. Austin
Peters, of Harvard.
"The pig is naturally a gentleman;
it is man who ha* made him what he
is. The popular idea that broken
glass, empty cans and tin covers are
appreciated as a diet by swine la one
of the popular fallacies.
"Neither do they appreciate lemon
rinds, orange peels and banana skins.
The pig should havo a dean, dry bid
to sleep In. Its pen should be ke^t
clean, and it should be properly fed.”
Dr. Peters asserted that hens, -is
well as -'ivs, need clean surroundings.

twenty years.
After looking at pis credentials, of
flclals at the penitentiary told Smith
they could not receive him. and he was

his final defeat by r the grlngoes.
Mr. Haldeman, who is local superin
tendent of the tire alarms, is the in
ventor of an electrical treasure finder.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. -That the
Filipinos are in no way fitted for I
self-government is the statment made |
by W. Cameron Forbes, ex-Governor
General, back after nine years on the
Islands In executive capacity.
"Is there any slavery In the Phil
ippines as Dean Worcester has
charged?” he was asked.
"Of course there is—plenty of it,
and there always has been.
"It is not slavery In the sense of
being particularly oppressive and the
natives do not mind it. for they can
go free whenever they desire, but still
it Is slavery in the sense that men
and women are bought and sold and
are not paid wages.
"This condition exists in every
province and we have been unable to
do much with It because we have no
laws to punish slave dealers.
"I klio* of more than 100 cases,
but I.could not venture to guess*how
many slaves are in the islands—they
are everywhere.
. Worcester Accurate.
"The principal slave markets are
near Manila—in Tarlac, the next
province, and in Pampanga, which is
not far away. The slaves are practi
cally all negrltos and often are sola
by their parents to the dealers.
"Dean Worcester is absolutely ac
curate In his description of the con
ditions in this and every other re
spect."
Speaking on the unfitness of the
natives for self rule, Mr. Forbes said:
"The natives are unquestionably
not fit for self rule. Any step toward
a present autonomy is premature;
the natives are fitted neither by edu
cation nor habits to entirely govern
themselves, and this must work out
gradually. It must be by a process of
evolution, and no step should be
taken that can not be retraced if
needs be.
"To leave the islands to themselves
right now would be an entire aban
donment of the duties of the United
States and could only result in harm
to the people themselves.
Progress Is Slow.
"I do not know how long it will
take for the Filipinos to get around
to the point where they can safely be
left to govern themselves, and I do
not know that they will ever so de
velop. but certainly it must be a
gradual process and not an over
night affair.
"We now have 3.000 public schools
with 9,000 native and from 600 to 800
American teachers, and at that the
schools will take only about one-
third of the children of school ago.
"The pacification of the islands is
complete. I think that it compares
favorably with the United States, and
the troops are needed only for the
occasional outbreaks, Just as they are
needed in the West to control the In
dians.
Trade Well Divided.
"The trade now is distributed
among many nations — Americans.
Spaniards. English, German and Chi
nese, and very few Americans have
come in during the last few years.
“Generally speaking, the most im
portant work of my administration
has been in the civilization of the
savages and the inducing of them to
give up warfare and to take to peace
ful employments; the principal credit
of this is due to Dean C, Worcester.-
"I know' that the United States is
fully capable of and has governed
the Philippine Islands most efficient
ly and I have every confidence that
such will continue If the present sys
tems are undisturbed.
"I am not prepared to say what
will be the outcojne of a complete
change of officers in the islands, such
as it is rumored that the Wilson ad
ministration contemplates.”
