Tfctl population of the world in
rroaeae. but Its area due* not In
rreMd Thla la one reason why the
problem of feeding the people of the
world growg bigger every year
Not only doea the area not Increase
hut there libb conic an alarming ten
dency to desert the fields and crowd
to the cities. Thla la the real reaaon
for the great movement to give agri
cultural pursuits the same encourage
ment that Industrial pursuits are get
ting.
Agriculture U not declining It I*
on the eve of a tremendous develop
maul, because we are all finding out
that the decline of agriculture means
nothing more or leas than knocking
out the foundation of nearly every
other Industry In the world
But one of the great causes for the
exodus from the TieldH to the cities
Ilea la the difficult lea of farmers In
organizing for their own advancement
and protection They are not firm
compact organizations, standing or
failles together In tlier demand for
rights and privileges aa do the trade*
unions, the railroad man, and the
whole industrial construction
The lonely ranchers and ‘.he mil
lion* of farmers find li all hut linpoa
Bible from their outlying stations to
join together for mutual defense and
advancement. This lack of cohesion
and solidarity places them at the mer
cy of all sorts of combination* among
middle men and produre gambler*
Thla is the riddle In the great scheme
of development, which la engnglug
able minds today. How to give to th#
foundation of other Industries suffic
ient resistance to bear up under tne
pressure of these solidified organiza
tions and combinations.
Thla government Is preparing to
guard the Interests of the farmer
against thla pressure for the purpose
Of lending free encouragement to the
greatest and surest source of wealth
the world know*.
When It pay* as well to raise pro

think hr Is wrong, think so furious
ly
It la the old problem of the right of
Individuals versus other rights. In
this case. It is the right of the gov
ernment to secure efficiency In con
flict with the right of naval officers to
guide and direct their own conduct.
We don't pretend to defend (Secre
tary Daniels against the charge that
he la autocratic in this order We
don't pretend that Ills order nhould
not be expected to give offense to the
naval officers. We readily see how
such an order would he resented, hut
at the same time, we believe that the
navy and army would both be better
for enforcing strict temporane* among
the men and officers that compose
these bodies.
Admiral Braisted In his letter re
commending the action of the secre
of the navy said:
"If there ie one profession more thau
any other that calls tor a clear head
and a steady hand. It Is the naval pro
fession '
No doubt. Secretary Daniels is con
vinced that the United States govern

la becoming generally recognized that

There is no affront In this demand by
business organizations, ticca use It la
a clear case of protection against In

man who buys work wants to buy
the best work and he knows that the
steadiest and most long running work

abstain from alcoholic stimulation.

BURN TRESTLE
ON BRINSON S'!
R Y Officials Think Destroyed
By Strike Sympathizers.
Train Was Derailed at Way
nesboro. Send For Sleuths.
Savannah, Ga. Detectives from one
of tin- bureaus with a national reput.i
llun have been summoned hy the offi
cials of the Savannah and Northwest
ern Route, formerly the Krinson Hall
way, In hope of apprehending those
who have been guilty- of depredations
■luring the strike of the conductors on
the line. This was the announcement
made this morning hy Mr. R. It. Mor
gan, general manager of the company.
To Meet Situation.
The company hopes, through tho
tectlvea to arrest those who have been
destroying the property along the line
and lying up their trains. The sleuths
will he here in a few daya, the officials
say. The railroad hopes ti*,mect the
all oat mu w ith strike breaking crews
within a few days.
A trestle Iwo miles south of Ht.
HI ('lair was burned last night. It Is
believed hy th* railroad officials
that the trestle was destroy
ed hy strike sympathizers, or some
of the strikers themselves The burn
ed trestle seriously Interferred with
the operation of the trains at that end
of the line this morning. Train No. 2.
due to leave St. I'lulr at 7 o'clock, was
unable to run. Instead the train was
operated from Waynesboro.
Train Derailed.
This Is the only trouble the railroad
has experienced since the derailment
of train No. 3at Waynesboro last
night. This train left Savannah at 3
o'clock and ran into an open switch
as It entered Waynesboro. It is be
lieved hy the railroad officials that the
switch was opened by aoine of the
strlko sympathizers.
The company la using the available
men on the trains as conductors. It Is
therefore hampered In repairing th#
du/uage which has tieen dune to the
property. It was stated this morning
that the locomotive of train No 3 was
still derailed. Tin- officials are In
hopes of having this trouble remedied
during the day.

OF PICKPOCKETS
Going to Have Photos, Finger
Prints and History of All on
Record in U. S.
New York,—Police of all the larg ■
cities In the country were asked today
lu help rid New York of pickpockets.
The local authorities seek photo
graphs, finger prints and histories of
all pickpockets on record in the Unit
ed States.
The crusade was launched here on
account of the systematic way In
which the light fingered fraternity of
late have escaped punishment. Police
magistrates and representatives of the
police department today decided that
the best way to stop this was to per
fect their rogue's gallery records and
take advantage of a decision of the
court of appeals which makes it legal
to use the sworn testimony of a com
plainant even though the complainant
fails to appear in court This would
frustrate the favorite scheme of pick
pockets under arrest who send friends
to buy off complainants or Intimidate
them.

Newark, N. J.—Captain John Hanson, master of a stone barge, was
knocked Ino Newark Hay yesterday afternoon and drawn into a gov

inch pip.- two thousand feet long out into the Newark meadows. In pass

The barge Madison was being towed from Newark to New York.
In posing through- the draw of a railroad bridge the barge butted into a
stone pier and flic Jolt threw Captain Hanson overboard.
An hour after he had fallen from the bartro men working in the

pipe with the flood of sand and water.
The sections formed a complete man's body In a pocket papers
