To a farmer who complained to biui pi-nut the taxes and asked wh would rale corn at 40 ceiiLs and other :ops to feed the state "when yu get oll tbxji boy that education" Clarffijor Hyde ha-'i written a reply that to Vits the caj?e about as well as it can be coYered in brief fonu, says the St. Louie oiobe Democrat. "Nine of every ten of the famUles that moTe to t.wn fiom the country," says the governor, wlll tell you that they moved to get their children into a better school." He makes the point that the farms need these families and declares that better farm conditions, better schools, and better roads would do more than to check this Injurious movement. It would, he predicts, turn the tide the other way and cause, thousands of families now llvin In the towns to nioie back to the farma.

KNICKCROOCKER TlMpD , Erasmus of Ilotterdam once dec! a f Amsterdam that he knew a city j
whoe inhabitants dwelt on the top of trees like rooks. It was his countrymen ho founded the New Amsterdam which was afterward to develop Into the New York city of our own times. But one catches again a flavor of the Knbkerhö'-ker times In the astounding proposal to turn New York luto a real Amsterdam by reclaiming six miles of the harbor from the Battery to within a short distance of Stuten Island for the commuter. The reclamation idea, which is intended to keep "down town" where it Is and not let it continue its unseemly course uptown as at present, will, If ever it Is carried out. rank with the Zuyder zee project fur daring of design and vastne of result?. The Battery would vecotne the real heart of the city, as fhe Dntch forefathers probably iu;enled it to be, remarks the Christian Science Monitor. But where will down town" begin when the marvelm new skyline extend all the way u Statexi and turns the statue of Liberty luto a kind of u; the-river how piare? Is the Hook to be the sea-frout of the New York of tb future? And what will the Hudson river of Washington Irving have to say r.bout the metamorphosis?
Hecently there have been many huddering glances at the possible rivalry of the black races with Kurope, or of I.Iam. There may be risks of destruction by violerice from these sources, if Kurope is foolish enough to wreck itself internally; but it does not seem likely that either of those groups could beat the brain power of Kurope. Islam, at least in its present form, has too great a drain on Its growth of mind iu the memtrizlug of the Koran mechanically. This atrophies the reasontie jMwer; and the type of this sucred took does not favor clear or lo?icnl thinking. The ideals -hown by what is revered suggest that Islam will never surpass the activities of lnii;i, 'hina or Jewry, writes Flintier. Pttrie the Tale Review. The gnaf intol-
iranve of Mohammedanism, und the , tower position accorded In law und practice tn women, will always be a Sir to Its surpassing In civlllze.tjon tbs European races. I

THE REASONS
Kgypt Is looking for better times n the strength of a tradition that ' nroajterity always comes after seven t vau years. S?he has just ffune j through the proverbial seven years und j return of prosperity Is anticipated 'ji a flood of tourists. In thsse seven j
'ears, however, great changes have taken place ha tber matter of the water supplies of souäe of the larger cities and alto in the matter of transportation. Travelers will find U much more "orwforfable to get about than heretofore. The motor car has been extensively Introduced and the -main r"ads have bten Improved f(r them.
When wt? cnlder some things bad ioys do, remarks the Houston Post, e wonder at the milk-and-water, pa"iital and school policy that abolished he (dd-tlme Ftrap that produced such ne results iu ihe cases of George .Vashington, Getieral Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and 10 times 10,000 other men vho had the devil dusted out of the ients of their pants at the psychological moment.

Some people admire red hair, and
others have lt. V j Red-headed people are better look-' Ing than other people. If they are. J Some are ugly as mud fences. 'f The horse dealer calls red-heuded people sorrel. The cattle n:?n call them Devons or
