D UF.ARKTS SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14. 101/3. 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.

After looking at pis credentials, of flclals at the penitentiary told Smith they could not receive him. and he was taken to the county jail.

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.” Recommends It to Ail Who Suffer From Kidney and Liver Complaints Mr. Clarence H. White, residing in that fa mous health resort city, Hattie Creek, Mich.. writes doctors failed to help him until he tried Warner’s.
