Report of the Department of Agriculture. Of all the various departmental reports which are made at the beginning of congressional sessions that of the department of agriculture is usually most full of common homely interest to us all. Secretary Houston's report is no exception in this and should be read by all the farmers in the land as well as the rest of us. He gives us a little scolding for having been so prodigal with our natural resources but excuses us to some extent because we have been kept too busy developing the continent to pay very strict attention to the details. But now since that big task is nearing completion he warns us to take heed to our wastefulness lest it sap our strength from us and leave our big continent worthless on our hands. He reports interesting returns from those 55,000 letters sent out some time ago to as many progressive farm wives throughout all the states. It seems that the women asked federal aid in almost every form of agricultural activity. But most of them seemed to have a very lively desire to secure an increase of pin money and asked help to swell the returns from butter, eggs, and milk. Whether that is thought to reflect on their husbands will depend on one's point of view. Farmers' wives, like town folks' wives, face the problem of help. Over-work is breaking down many buxom country housekeepers because there are no girls to be had. To keep them on the farms, and also the sons and daughters that now seem so anxious to make for the city, the country women ask help in making rural life more attractive even suggested moving picture shows, libraries, clubs, etc. Mr. Houston thinks that farmers have not been as efficiently served by our financial system as other classes and urges some form of agricultural credits that will enable beginners to secure enough land and sufficient utensils to begin with. As land grows in value and becomes scarcer this grows more and more impossible to the average young farmer unless he can negotiate long time loans. Among more specific things the secretary asked that congress establish food standards ; he finds it as difficult to judge of the adulteration of foods without set standards as a grocer would find it difficult to weigh sugar without scales. And he wants the word "drugs" defined, for the same reasons. Here is a chance for lexicographers. He holds that if the federal government fives any assistance to road building it should only be to a state that will co-operate and pledge itself to develop such a system as will make government expenditure worth while. That congress would empower his department to help various states drain their water sheds was another request. It seems that many large territories suffer not only from floods but from the poisonous water that flows down from these ill-cared-for divides. He winds up his report with a request for another paltry million to carry on the increased work of his department. In the face of a billion dollar congress one wouldn't want to see him refused a little bagatelle like that.

Holland Rejoicing. The Dutch over the whole world are jubilating this week in honor of the hundredth anniversary of their freedom celebrated with great pomp last Saturday. The people of the little Netherland country with its marshes, its dikes, its picturesque wind-mills, its market gardens, its fat cattle, and its flaming tulip beds, are justly proud of their liberty wrested from France and their constitutional monarchy erected on the ruins left by the revolution of 1793. And to this their just pride in building canals that would do credit to the engineers or Mars or even to Goethals the Great, their successful holding out against the pressure of the Triple Alliance on the one hand and of the Triple Entente on the other and to the clever and somewhat clandestine blandishments of Germany's war lord on top of this, their shining success as colonizers and merchants, their everywhere admired stability and thriftiness, their passion for freedom, and we can understand something of the typical Dutchman's pride in his little wet country that lies by the northern seas. Yet, spite of this passion for freedom so characteristic of Dutch history and which led them to follow the lead of William of Orange who pushed through marshes of blood to the overwhelming of the greatest world power of his time, they have a most hearty admiration and love for their queen, Wilhelmina, coronated in 1898. This loyalty has been won by the gifted queen solely by her own high character and qualities. Her predecessors were not as well liked. William I., Wilhelmina's great-grandfather, was the son of the last statholder of the old Netherland republic. The French drove his family into an exile that, for him, lasted eighteen years. Taking refuge in England he and his

Prussian wife (this lady was not popular with the French conquerors for reasons easily imagined) were given a residence at Hampton court. Not finding life in England to his taste he joined with the Duke of York in an unfortunate effort to reconquer the Netherlands. After that he went to live with his Prussian kinsfolk and fought in the Franco-Prussian war, being wounded at Wagram and present at Leipsic in 1813. Some weeks after this he was recalled to Holland, made king, and set up in office on his pledges to guard all the constitutional limitations demanded by the people. But, politician like, he soon forgot these promises and fell from the good graces of his people to such an extent that he was forced to abdicate in favor of his son in 1840. But this son, William II., was even more unpopular. He had been educated at Oxford and trained in the English ways, and even commander of the Dutch and Belgian contingents at Waterloo, but still was rejected by the Princess Charlotte of Wales, daughter of George IV., to whom he paid suit. Later he married a Russian lady, the Grand Duchess Anna Paulovna, sister of Czar Nicholas I. She became in time as insane as her father, Czar Paul. William was crooked, as we would say, and was even accused of stealing a million dollars' worth of his own wife's jewelry. The thrifty Dutch soon lost all confidence in such a worthless wight and they would have compelled his abdication had he not had the good sence to die at the right time. He was succeeded by his son, William III., father of the present queen, who was so licentious that even the un-prudish French dailies scored him ceaselessly. It was he, everybody will recall, who formed a questionable relationship with the famous Miss Misard of Pennsylvania and lavished such attention and money on her that after being compelled by the Dutch to flee the country she was able to outshine the Empress Eugenie in splendor at Paris. At sixty-four the death of his only brother and also only son, so revealed to the king the danger of extinction for his line that he married the Princess Emma, then but 21 years of age. From this ill assorted match came Wilhelmina, the present popular queen, who as said above, has regained the old Dutch loyalty for the crown and will be succeeded unless the unexpected happens, by her daughter, Juliana. Since Holland is one of the key logs that holds back the outrush of Germany toward England the whole world keeps a solicitious eye on the Dutch and prays for their continued prosperity and growing strength. But we Americans have a peculiar regard for these people nourished on the memories of their stand during the Revolution and of the excellent colonists wrho helped give the United States the right kind of a start. Long life to them and may they continue to produce Wilhelmina's, tulips, high-bred cattle, windmills, Hague Conferences, and dozens of Roosevelt families.

A New Use for Books. "O he has mere book learning," is an expression one often hears. It suggests the old time book-worm who buried himself in a cell called a library and poured over yellowed tomes written by dead peoples. Such a one of course was always impractical and out of joint with his own day. But there has come to be a new kind of bookworm. He is not a recluse sunk in the depths of a Turkish rocker with cob-webbed stacks of volumes standing round, he is one of the foremost of the professional classes in this day. And he is a new kind of book-worm because he uses a new kind of book. Have you been reading any of these new books ? They are quite different from the old. The old writer made a book for its own sake (which is a very good thing to do in some circumstances) but the new writer makes a book for the sake of another purpose. His are a kind of tool which enables a man to accomplish more than he otherwise could. Many of these new books are records of what has been done in bettering city government and in developing municipal affairs. They aren't compiled by dreamers who vaguely guess at things but rather are written by successful and practical men who have made good in these new lines. The object of these books is to enable others to profit by the experience and becomes more practical themselves. The Morrisson-Reeves library has recently added to its former stock of these new books many other interesting and useful volumes. It is the Palladium's intention in a day or two to give a list of these volumes. Watch for it and mark the books you need to read. If you are a citizen as you should be you will be sure to find one or two that deal with that part of citizenship in which you are most interested.
