;:; ; Farm Tenantry, P. G. Holden, an expert on agriculture affairs who is nationally known for his observation, in an article in the Palladium Wednesday, pointed out some of the evils of farm tenantry. ; , He asserted that it kills incentive and discourages community development. ; In 1900, according to government statistic?, S3 per cent of the farms in this district were operated by tenants and by 1910 the number had increased to 37 per cent. In some states : he asserts," it is as high as 60 of 70 per cent. There is no reason, why there should be opposition to farm tenantry,, because in the last analysis both the tenant and owner of the land have one thing in common the greater production of crops. Mr. Holden finds fault with the tenant who takes no interest in the land. He looks upon this sort of tenant as a man who destroys the fertility of the soil.; . s A tenant who exploits land and takes no thought of the future fertility of the acres which he is cultivating, is a poorhian to have on a farm. Mr. Holden insists that the present system of i

year to year lease is to blame, as the tenant figures that it is not to his interest to conserve soil fertility, r Inf erentially, he argues for long term leases so as to protect both the land owner and the tenant. Many farm owners who reside in the cities will agree with Mr. Holden that this is the only cure. In many European countries, tenants not only stay on one farm for years, but their lease is handed down from father to son as a heritage. This sense of security which many European tenants have, accounts for the care which they bestow upon, soil conditions. Under no circumstances imaginable would they wear out the productive power of the land, because it would re

dound to their own disadvantage. It is easy to;

see how long land tenure is of a great advantage, both to the tenant and to the land owner under these conditions. Long farm leases are the exception in America. The evils of tenantry are becoming so apparent, and the manifest unfairness of the present system to owner and tenant are becoming so obvious, that the tenant is seeking for a longer lease and the land owner is willing to grant it, providing the tenant is a farmer who looks upon the soil with the same love and devotion that a sculptor looks upon a piece of marble. Mr. Holden suggests congressional or legislative enactments to provide forjong time leases so as to increase the personal interest of the farm tenant.

I what they want. They have set aside all law ex

cepting those which they have made for them

selves, and reports from travelers in Russia show

tthat the Bolshevik laws are as variable as the i'irad. ' VJ '" ; - . Trade unions, according to Mr. Hyde, are not exempt from the general process of destruction upW which the Bolsheviki are bent. They would jusi fas. readily destroy a republic as they would overthrow, the tyranny of Russia. They have no rega rd for law or order, writes Mr.- Hyde. As soar as they attain power, they at once open the jaili, turning loose on society the most depraved crinjinals and outlaws. J.nother interesting sidelight on the aims of the I Bolsheviki is to be found in a testimony of Dr. 'iW. C. Huntington before a senate committee. He .aid that the Bolsheviki spent ten million dollars last summer in spreading their doctrines outside lof Russia. Bolshevism is a social plague that has afflicted t lie world just as influenza has attacked the healllh of the world; and just as this malady must! run its course according to physicians, so Bolshevism will run its course of murder, arson and destruction before it dies down. Tie prompt action of the federal authorities in stamping out its first manifestations in the United States is as commendable as the action was drastic. v Society exists only by virtue of the laws which , its members, of their own accord, have create i! to protect themselves against wickedness and lawlessness. 's

In I act, laws do not antedate society, but are the safeguards which society has created.

Evctry attempt to overthrow these laws and to plurjje mankind back into the state that existed biifore the dawn of history, must be promptly checked. We cannot revert back to the jungle era, whim might was right, and where every individual warred on his neighbor, and the strongest survived only because of his physical prowess. Socictf y protects not only the strong, but also the weak. It gives both a fair chance to exist. This is die Of the primary aims of all governmental activity. Bolshevism, however, would destroy all national government on .the plea that it is unnecessary, which, in effect, means that the whole world would, be converted into a slaughter pen.

When Was the St. Pan I 's L utheran Church Organized

St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church was organized In 1852, by former members of the congregation of St. John's. , For many years the history of the young church was a Btormy one. Born of a protest against narrowness and dogma, one of the articles of its constitution provided that no minister of a synod should preach In the church. Political refugees, liberals of all kinds, , "and even infidels," were among the first members of the church, and independent ministers were the first pastors.. In 1854, Rev. J. D. . Severinghaus became pastor, and from that time the church grew in power and influence, uniting with the general synod in 1877. The present church building was completed in 1857. :Many improvements have ben made since that time. The bell tower, the organ space, the chapel besides many other improvements, are all additions to the original structure. .'.-. Synodical pasters of the church have been Rev. J. D. Severinghaus, H. Wickemeyer, G. W. Enders, I. I. Young Huber, and F: W. Rohlfing.

What is Bolshevism Henry M. Hyde, special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune in London, was asked by his newspaper to set forth the aims and purposes of the Bolsheviki as understood in the European cities. His explanation of this movement which is alarming the whole world because of its radical elements took up almost a full column. "Bolshevism," writes Mr. Hyde, "means that church, home, school and all the institutions we call civilized shall be destroyed; the banks shall be looted of all cash and all debts, public and private shall be repudiated, that marriage shall be outlawed and free love the rule." Among other aims he sets out are that the Bolsheviki are willing to assassinate on a wholesale scale ; they are willing to wipe out the whole middle class including everybody who" owns the least bit of property, if that is necessary to get

Earl C. Dodge of Boston, who has lived some .years in China, said in a recent after dinner speech: "Anyone who doubts the wisdom of the Chinese should read their proverbs. The Chinese have a book of 10,000 proverbs, and they are all as wise and true as the first one in the volume, which says: " 'It is safer to pull a tiger's tail than to call a lady's attention to her first gray hair'," "German statesmanship,", said Senator Smoot, "is so transparently crooked that it Is laughable. It reminds me of the German waiter who was ordered to bring a bottle of Medoc to the man he was serving. He brought the bottle, but instead of Medoc it was labeled Chambertin. v " 'But this is Chambertin,' the guest pretested, 'and I ordered Medoc' " Ach, der stoopid donkey. I distinctly told Fritz to put ar Medoc label on dot old bottle!" A shy young hostess in an effort to be genial led aside the comparative stranger whose name, somehow, eluded her.

"I am sorry, madam," glared the outraged guest, "but I am the Clever friend in question." A pre-war hostess was giving a luncheon. Observing that one of the guests had eaten all her portion of ice cream, she said: "Mv dear Miss Lane, do let me

give you some more of the ice cream!" J

"Well, thanks," said the young woman. "I will take some more, but only just a mouthful, please." "Hilda," said the hostess to the maid, "fill Miss Lane's plate."

N 1806, Jeremiah Cox built a brick house in the middle of woods, which later became "Cow Patch" and which is now. called Fort Wayne Avenue in Richmond. This house is still standing and is the oldest residence in

Richmond. The Cox family was the first to settle in Wayne county. The house is now 32 Fort Wayne avenue. The road which was cut to this place 112 years ago brought many land hunters to the home of Jeremiah Cox. In a very few years the neighborhood around this house was settled rapidly. Jeremiah Cox and his family lived there and with others were looked upon as the leaders in the Society of Friends. - The family of Jeremiah Cox was the first Quaker family in Wayne County. , The house was built on land that Oox had purchased from Joseph Woodkirk, who in turn had purchased it from John Meek who had entered it. - Ffter the death of Jeremiah Cox, Sr.,

the house belonged to his daughter, Jane. For many years she lived there. When she died the house was bought by the Episcopal church, which owned it for many years. It was sold to a man named Thompson who is now the owner and occupant. Little else is known of its history. Mrs. E. C. Dickinson, - 10 Fort Wayne avenue, whose husband's family owned the second oldest house in Richmond, said she remembered "Aunt Jane" Cox, saying twenty years ago that the Cox house was the oldest

in Richmond.

The land was laid into lots in 1811, and it was at this time that the deed was patented. Jeremiah Cox laid out an addition in 1818. The second oldest house in Richmond is 24-26 Forth Wayne Avenue. It is not known who built the house, but it was bought by Solomon White Dickinson almost 100 years ago. Dickinson was a tinner. After his death the house went to his brother Edwin Dickinson, the uncle of E. C. Dickinson, 10 Fort Wayne avenue. It then went to Solomon Dickinson, a grocer, the son of Solomon White Dickinson. It now belongs to a member of the present Dickinson generation. For a century it has been in the Dickinson family. This house was the scene of many festivities in the Dickinson family.

Mr. and Mrs. Solomon White Dickinsdft celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in the house. Clara Dich-

inson was married to Lewis Zutter-

master there, Phenia Dickinson to

Charles Gates and Sarah to Charles

Fry, all of whom are living.

Birthday anniversaries, weddings,

and holidays were scenes of large fan

ily dinners in the Dickinson house.

Mrs. Solomon Dickinson 90 years old, mother of E. C. Dickinson, of Richmond, is now living in California. The house was rebuilt about six years ago.

Peace Conference Differences Not Serious

From the New York Times.

Wlr T E should be concerned for the success of the

Peace Conference at Paris if the negotiations did not develop tiffs and differences. They are an indication that the statesmen engaged in the work have definite opinions, that they have formed plans. Naturally they do not hold the same opinions, they have not formed the same plans. It is tho business of statesmanship to reach international agreements by well-con-tidered conciliations. Peace conferences always breed rows., Czar Alexander was continually threatening to withdraw from the Congress at Vienna. He scolded the emperor of Austria about Metternlch, demanded that he be reproved and curbed. Caetrefeagh was much objected to, and many titled personages were glad when he went home. Upon Hardenberg, Stein and Von Humboldt mnily black looks were cast because of the truly Prussian piggishness of their desire for tho annexation of the greater part of Saxony. Vials of wrath were continually poured upon the head of Talleyrand, who triumphed over them all. At one time during the progress of the Conferenco at Paris, in 1898, the Spanish commissioners packed up, declaring they would return at once to Madrid. The United States soothed their agitation by agreeing to pay. to Spain $20,000,000, given, not in payment for the Philippines, as some have supposed, but to oil the creaking machinery of the negotiations.' Count Wltto at Portsmouth, know-J tag that Japan could not long continue the war, that she

must have peace, made threats of withdrawal from the conference a part of his tactics, and thereby won many points for Russia, insomuch that the final treaty was looked upon as a triumph for him and his government. The reported ttireat or hint that the conference may be transferred to some neutral capital because of the attitude of certain French officials and the tone of the French press is not to be taken seriously. Premier Clemenceau's intenKiew expressed agreement with the proposals of the Llnited States and Great Britain rather than dissent. The brilliant writers of the "French press may now and then "ruffle the sensibilities of the members of the conference, lut that would be a poor reason for clearing out of Parife. France has needs as well as views, she has suffered mtch by the war, she has been impoverished. She wants reparation. But it is probable that she will be able to secure a larger sumfrom Germany under Mr. Wilson's plan t&an under the possibly sterner measures she may now fbvor. If Germany is to pay, she must be permitted to eami money for the payment. For another thing, France ioes not want to be put to the cost

of maintaining a laige army for defense against a possibly re-established and Still hostile Germany. 'Clemenceau gratefully takes) note of Mr. Wilson's assuring words on that point, and tlie establishment of the Leaguge of Nations should remote the danger and quiet her fears. But the conference ought to conclude a peace with

Germany at the earSest possible moment. From delay in making peace danger is to be feared more than from

ttny other source. '

The London health board rules state: "During epidemic of influenza, it is important to spend as much time as possible in the open air. It is advisable for the public to stay indoor."

Our expert opinion is that a movie star ought to know how to serve In that capacity with grace, bearing and eclat. A Magyar artist sojourning In New York says the American beauties lack aristoracy.
