ONE GOOD THING
DONE BY UNIONS
Labor unions have been belabored
by every scribe able to hold a pen. and
often with justice. But now and then
a case comes to public view where the
union has done something to be ap-
plauded. An Instance of this rare splr
it of beneficence Is afforded by the ef-
fect of a decree o ft he New Orleans la-
bor council in abolishing an anclen
system of petty grafting on the mer-
chants of that city.
During the time the Spanish ruled
New Orleans, a practice sprang up
among the storekeepers of giving some
sort of small present to the slaves who
did the shopping for their masters. On
the counters were displayed Jars of
nvits, candles, cakes or raisins, from
which the buyer conld take la nlpa.
after he hail made his regular purchas-
es. From ia nlpa (the gift) the expres-
sion grew Into a regularly recognized
word "lagniappc." and It has signified
a gratuity given with each purchaso
from the day of the old Spanish re-
gime to the present. The custom was
one thai had developed great abuses,
but no merchant dared to discontinue
tho lagniappc.
There appeared to be no way to cir-
cumvent the crafty shopper who
bought sugar at one store, coffee at
another, salt at a third, and so on, get-
ting his small gratuity at each coun-
ter.
But the labor council In its great
wisdom i ondered the question; and It
decided that those merchants who
the most liberal lagniappo were
of necessity those who dealt In prison
made goods, or articles made by child
labor. They declared against the an-
cient Institution and all who supported
it. The merchants, therefore, showed a
surprising alacrity and unanimity in
ings of the pike "spieler." It Is St.
lx>uis that b^cks up a petition to these
Imported boatmen to cut out their re-
pertory that old, old favorite of the
summer gardens. 'The Miserere."
Doubtless the whole country will as-
sent to this blue-penciling of the grand
basin programs.
HOW A CRIME
OVERTOOK A THIEF
A California thief who stole, first
a garden hose, and later a small palm
from a garden, allowed a trail of dirt
to reveal his homeward route, has late-
ly had Its counterpart In Philadelphia.
Tills time the thief broke into a
grocery store aud abstracted three bags
—of onions, coffee and beans. It was
the bag of beans that proved the undo-
ing of the thief. Prom a small hole in
the cloth bag a slow trickle of white
beans left a trail that a Philadelphia
Sherlock Holmes counld not fail to
follow.
Suppose, however, the bean bag had
not leaked the question is. oould the
<tetertlves have followed the trail or
the onions? Or, again, could some
supersensitive Hawkshaw have suiffed
the odbr of Mocha and Java mixed and
run down the thief who was pulling
off his overshoes In a little bedroom
when the officers got to him. As a
sort of additional punishment, the
housebreaker found, when he got to
the city prison that a great bowl of
hot bean soup was ready for his
breakfast. He is said to have looked
at the food and muttered, dismally:
"Why, it was beans as brought me here
and now the first thing I butt up
against Is more beans! ''

One of the moat Interesting men who
attended the meeting of the Oklahoma
board of agriculture In this city thiw week
was Colons! R. E. Smith, nf Sherman,

the United 8tat«'* u.s the "Alfiilfa King."

culturist In the big state of Texas. Hia

ing several thousand acres. Is the model
for all farms of the southwest. There are
more than 1,0#© acres of alfalfa meadow
on it, and each year about 300 acres are
ievoted to grow ing |>oUtoes alone. The
fine horses and Durham cattle on Colonel
Smith * farm are a bhow for all lovors of
good Stock.
Colonel Smith has long advocated that
upon scientific and lutelIlgently-dlT^<ted
farming depend* the greatness and pros-
j.enty of the I'nlted States. To this end
lie has given much time to Institute work
and to the support of anything that will
tend to make farming more profitable
and more thorough. He haa studied and
experimented and learm*! and generously
given to the world the bem-nt of what he
hus acquired In the way of knowledge. Ills
articles In the agricultural press have ac-
quired that dignity which makes them
luthorlty. No other farm writer has been
more widely coplod and commented upon.
The demands upon Colonel Smith, for
addressee come from all directions. This
Is due flrst to his knowledge of farming
and business, and secondly to his happy
manner In speaking. He never reads a
paper to his audience. He never writes
re**. His addresses are none the
less carefully prepared and delivered with
to fitting the mental angle of j
his audience. Before a technical body the

In his uppearance both before farmers'
institutes and large commercial bodies

vote double the time allotted him. This
Is because his talks are suggestive of

more light. They ask questions. Their

Two States of New York.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Th New York legislature has before
tt a bill for the purpose of securing a ref-
erendum vote ut the next election on the
proposal to divide New York Into two
ntaten. Should the bill |mism. and should
the vote b« fa vol able, there would fol-
low no immediate practical reitults. .The
power of admitting new states Jnto the
Union rests wltn congress, and congress
could not take action bccauae the con-
stitution expressly provides that "no new
state shall he formed or erected within
the jurisdiction of any other atate."
The proposal is nevertheless an Inter-
esting one, and the real of the country
lot but hope that a referendum will
be had. so that the feeliug of both city
and country districts can be recorded.
The city-state, as tho bill Is druwn, would
Include not merely tha present greater
New York, but all of L,ong Island and two
counties north of the city on the east side
of the HudSun.
Should New York be divided In this
way the city-state would have about 4,-
ooo.ooo inhabitants, and the country-state
would have 3,700,000 Inhabitants. In point
of population they would be respectively
the fourth and fifth of the states in site
being jireceded by Pennsylvania. Illinois

that order.
