RECLAIMING OLD FARMS. A tendency to buy tip cid deserted farms and reMirr.e cultivation of the soil is reported from Main This is a pood sign not only for Mair.f but for rill cf New Ensrland and perhaps othrr lonc-se-uie l repion. During the put 2."i yrars our of th facts most frequently commf-nhfl on ly travelers throut;h the mral districts cf tho attorn iart of th" country has been tho gTeat number of iWortfd farms. It haa hen urped hy many thouRhtful pf-rsons hat thero was littl u.p in opening up np? farming rfions hy mans of expensive reclamation projects when fo many al-andonoil farms wert' a vailahlo in rifions closo to big markets. All thes.- farms needed to make them prosperous was a little proper care. In New England, lime and manure used in conjunction with up-to-date farming methods would restore jnany an old farm area to prompt rity. There may be various factors working toward the rpftoratlon of thoi-e farms to active cultivation. There are better roads today than ever before con-iicti-' them with tho markets of tho srreat eastern cities. There i? more cientiflc information at hand about the preservation of the best qualities of the .soil, rotation of crops and the u.se of agricultural machinery to lighten drudgery. Perhaps, too, the general national prosperity is helping to speed up this work of renewing the deserted farms. "Whatever the cause?, the results are excellent. If other sections follow Maine's example it will be a pood thing for th whole country.

GOOD HORSELESS ROADS. -!

Stati?tics showing tlie gradual decrease in the number of hor.M-s to be gern on city streets no 'onjrer bring surprise-. Horst wr slowly decreasing before the war, and that world-upheaval speeded up their disappearance. There is a little surprise, however. In the statement made by a WiscortMn small-town newspaper. 'At a meeting of farmers hold in thLs vicinity recently," reported th? papr, ''there -wer but two hor-drarTi reifies. aH-e-riaat nearly 200 automoUles." ' - , WTio can douUt that the- fjivmers of this and the tomtnff yrneration are going to be jut as interested in good roadi, and as willing to pay for them, an .tlieir fcllow-worKers of tlie cities? Th horse had BHiy Ttrtue. but ho watt patient to a fault. Dobbin mode ra Httlo fus about had ro.uk that nolnuly botKerod rauch to rtx tlieni ni for his greater cotnurt, esifety and spcr-d.

ppa!Utkm centers.

ffiilX THE HUMBLE MAJORITY.

n Their are two fides to thL "extravagant spendinp" buslnfrs. Onot fide has bten given at lenpth in tho last few week?, by representative of nearly 11 th? Yak industries. They hive explained floOUntly thit people iniHn on high prices, and will not buy anything priced low, so that dealers have, had to ttop ordering soodn to sell at moderate rate?, and manufacturers h.rve hd to stop making them. The other aide is givtn by a traveling salesman, who write; "In the past year I h:ve hen travvllinu', and 'I Ivnow how people arc prospering and what , thjy think cf busine. conditions, what tbev buy and cor.ume, and I do know that in all my ear' sperience among such peoplo they never lived on shorter rations al such high cash price j. and hem never wo a n time when the niajori'y i Tly sought for buvpriced Roods of rvtry kind." Consumers with plenty of mony have certainly been ?pendir.e their money with reckless abandon: end their thriftbss example has had a pernicious induence on others v.-ho could les afford the rxptnditure.

ii a vi : tiikv n n;i:i? ( Dearborn IiulcHmlent.) Tlnie was a very hitter tiht in the lepublican convention at Chicago in Ifll'. Tue battle surged about 'Mr. Roosevelt. The colonel had served the unexpired part of Fres't McKinley s term and four additional years; then had turned the prosidency over to Mr. Taft, for four years. Mr. Roosevelt didn't like the company Mr. Taft kept; he didn'i like the reactionaries who had surrounded the Taft administration, and went out to whip them. Names were called and rpitlwts hurhd. Many Koove( !i supporters were induceil to leave iiim and by a narrow margin Iloos vc It lost out in the pjrty whose standard bearer he had been. Then lie organized a new party, went out and '.-eat the party that had beaten him. ami Woodrow Wilson became president. Tho hi each was healed somewhat in lldti. but not fully er.M'.Kh to prevent Mr. WllPon's re-Hertion. And now they ure lining up for l?20. And there l likely to be a contest. Thrt uro men who' love the republican party beCftUSo they believe It to be the party of action, the pnrty that düf things for the general betterment of the republic. These eame men believed that it fell in evil hands in 1912, and many of them expressed their disapproval by voting for Roosevelt on the progressive ticket in that year. Many who left have, returned; some are governors, like Henry J. Allen of Kansas: a good number are in congress. It does not seem possible that I hey have lost their ideals, but with what wonderment must they read the committee appointments the naming of men who will manage the republican convention that will choose a candidate for the presidency this year? It reads largely like a roster (if the 1012 convention, for in the list are many men who bumped Roosevelt in that year and wrecked the party. Among them, now and then, is found the name of one who protested the action of the reactionaries. Can it be that men advanced in years have learned a lexson and changed, or is there a concerted effort again to make the party, the tool of the interests? Will those who protested then fall in line now? Is there to be another struggle for the ma.tery of the party? It is point: to l.e a most interesiir.ir development to watch.

;1VH I S TEACH. NOT OllATOKV. V (Dourborn Independent.) America poured out its young manhood to win a war. America gave freely, lavishly, of its wealth to save democracy. Thore was no rik too great, no sacrifice too large, for America. Freely all was given for what ." Was it to inaugurate a debating society in Washington? Did more than 4.000.000 young men take up army, nd did lOO.t'oO.noo people .subscribe billions upon billions of dollars that will take years upon year of sacritice to pay that partisan leaders might jockey lor pordtion in a coming presidential campaign? What this great land of ours wants and needs is peace real peace. The gtins of war ceased firing more than a year ago but the guns of oratory boom on. Financially. Industrially, we are still on a war lais, paying war prices to war profiteer. Amt ri can manufacturers and business men and professional men and laborers and housewives want ; know just where thoy stand, on just what to count. What this nation needs is to turn its mind to the arts of peace instead of haggling over the terms of var. Rres't Wilson was and is right, absolutely right, in wanting a League- of Nations which provides that nations shall Ftop and think before they erah a gun. The president knew that the general plan of a League of Nations had tho open and avowed approval of en. Lodge, chairman of tho senate foreign ivlations committee. The president knew. too. that the league could not become a reality without the consent and approval of the senate. Rut fo sure was he of the justice of his position that he went ahead, to a grat extent ignoring the bo-y to whom he must finally submit hLs work at least not taking any of them to Pari with him to participate in the deliberations, to learn tivst hand the reason fur and motives back of many p rovisior. And then that body balked. And then the people got oratory instead of a peace settlement. Mr. Lodere f ergot hi pro-lcaue arguments made before the Wilson document was formulated and stubbornly opposes a settlement, contlnir.g his attacks to ilt tails of the covenant. What America ru-eds right now is not oratory for political effect, teat a peace .ettiemeat and an atUnt'.on to domestic affairs that will give the housebolder coal and son.e sucur at reasonable prices and an adjustment of industrial affairs that r-iU avoid the business and industrial stringency that generally follows a wnr.
