We don't know how this plan would work out, but we certainly would like to see it tried in South 3 Carolina, for here we tax a man's en- ^ ergy and improvements. It would t; seem to be a good principle of gov- ^ eminent that if a property owner would not sell to some one who ^ would improve it, that he should be j, taxed because of his lack of progres- r siveness. [ Logic in Railroad Rates. A veteran traffic man for one of d the important railroads of the United States says: "What is needed more than anything in the readjustment t] of freight and passenger rates is a 1 little bit of logicT It is scarcely logi- ti cal to allow some travelling freight c man to make a rate between two t] points on certain freight subject to c< the approval of the general freight * agent alone and at the same time to ? require the president of the railroad a / to sign a requisition for a feather e duster. . C "From another point of view it t< does not seem logical to place the s . burden of increased rates on one P particular class of freight without in- o creasing all rates. The burden must be distributed. It isn't logical to i ti charge the passenger without bag- fi gage the same rate as the man with n . two trunks or other pieces of lug- is gage. Neither is it logical to charge s the same rate per mile to a passenger e in a light coach that is charged to the t passenger in the heavy steel Pullman n car. Rates should be made scientifi- c cally under the direction of the high- tl est traffic officer of any railroad line." ti ?Wall Street Journal. A Vanishing Kace. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus, of Harvard, says that there is a / lack of power and vitality in the a American people which the immigrants posess; that they have, for ex- a ample, the power of reproducing their own kind while ten classes of Har- n vard graduates failed to reproduce nm eol tli& ? V*J. The generations that follow the immigrants Americanize, but- the i change in the racial stock of the country must be very great, if not t< very important. It is noticeable in the cities and in the country also. P Forty years ago Chicago was a city of American stock, with the principal b additions from Germany, Ireland and the Scandinavian countries. It has p taken in many foreign nationalities since then, and the percentage of persons of remote American ances- a try must have greatly decreased. There are country districts in which a the .American farming communities have disappeared to give way to peo- E pie from north, central and southern Europe.

Irs, Pickerell, 74, Says the Spine- I less Variety Will Pay. A woman 74 years old is to es-! \ ablisii the only spineless cactus j p anch in tl e Southwest. She is Mrs. n u. V. Pickerell. of El Paso^ and she j r ntends to go into this peculiar busi- j i: less on a wholesale scale. She is en- h husiastic over the proposition, and s las but recently returned from Cali- h ornia, where she thoroughly studied md investigated the spineless cactus, 1< ts growth and uses. Mrs. Pickerell I las ordered 700 Burbank samples, tnd will plant these on her farm near CI Paso, and later increase the imount. Each plant will grow 3 5 ;labs a year, and make excellent and a heap fodder for horses, cattle, hogs, md even poultry. Little has been a lone with the plant so far except in m experimental way, but Mrs. Picke- * ell sees xan opportunity to make it >ay. ^ The spineless cactas is a semi-tropcai plant and will not grow or thrive e '/here the temperature reaches zero, "hat low temperature, however, is a arely reached in El Paso. In addition o the slabs used for forage the plant lso bears a fruit that is pleasing to he taste. It resembles the orange, "he plant also may be cut into strips ^ nd fried or boiled. Those who have t! ampled the cactus food have found t appetizing. Luther Burbank not .. ong ago gave a banquet, at which all p ishes served consisted of the spinea ess cactus cooked in various forms. A test was made at the Burbank 1 anch recently with the cactus. One ow was pastured on the spineless actus and another was fed on alfalfa. 11 "he animal which ate the cactus prouced one-third more butter than the lfalfa-fed cow. To prove the value f the experiment the cows' food was w hen reversed and with like result.. ^ logs fatten when given cactus alone. -San Antonio Express. tl Buffalo Increasing. a . b Announcement that at the end of I he current year New York will send n 4 buffalo to stock the Wind Cave ^ National park in South Dakota leads ^ he New York World to cite some p ifcroctinor anH fipniTAS rp1?tiVfi 0. JL u. v_/ VW MAA\* % - ? - o the downs and ups of the North s mierican bison Forty years ago arge herds of these animals still a oamed the western plains: 15 years f< iter the total number in the United S1 Pi tates was said to be less than 1,000, nd early extinction was freely pre- a icted; now we are told that the buf- a alo tribe is again increasing. P Ten years ago The World tells us tie specimens in captivity numbered C( ,119, while it was estimated that here were 34 running wild in this ountry and 600 in Canada. Today he number is put above 2,000, not o ounting the half-breed "catalo, "with rhich experiments have been made, 'here are about 50 in New York nd smaller numbers in other east- C rn cities, while various western and e 'anadian reserves contain from 50 ^ o 100 each. In Europe there are ^ pecimens in some of the public arks and a small herd on the estate f1 f the Duke of Berforu " That the present increase will con- c, inue is no apparent reason why buf- ir aln raising shall not be made a com- ? ? " 1/ lercial venture. If the precaution E ; taken of checking in breeding and a o keeping the herds in health, by .J xchanging specimens from time to C ime, buffalo, as we are told, are j early as easy to raise as ordinary a attle, while the claim is made that 1 he "catalo" is even more hardy than he Texas steer.
