burg Dispatch. Only the other day it
was commented on that the opening of
an electric road In western Pennsylva-
nia had enhanced the value of farms,
formerly offered at |100 per acre, to an
asking price of $750 to $1,000. The
same result has been observed in other
cases. It Is quite possible that these
advances may in some cases prove to
be overdone, as the spread of electric
roads Is bringing a vast range of farm
property into the market. But it Is a
notorious fact that this lmprovemen
of local communication increases the
ability to make farm life pleasant, so
that it brings a large element of new

The farmers' union favors good
roads and everybody else ought to.
If you haven't a union in your neigh-
borhood go to work at once and have
one organized.
The constant aim of the union
should be to educate its members in
the best methods of farming.
The farmer who raises his own "hog
and hominy," hay, corn, vegetables
and fruit Is the one who has money in
the bank.
One reason so many boys and girls
leave the farm is because they re-
ceive less care and attention than the
other fine stock.
Unionism is no new thing. Every
class of tradesmen, wage workers and
professional men are organized, and
why should not the farmer keep
abreast of the times?
To "love your neighbor as yourself"
is a hard thing to do, but if you are
both members of the Farmers' union
It makes the task a good deal easier.
One man can do but little; one
onion can do more; but all the unions
working together along the same lines

State Offices Shifted.—The moving
of the supreme court and the state li-

offices at the state house. Insurance
commissioner McComb has moved in-
to the offices vacated by the clerk of
the supreme court. Miss Kate Bar-
nard,' commissioner of charities and
corrections, has taken the insurance
commissioner's former office, while
the labor commissioner has added the
room vacated by Miss Barnard to the
ones which he formerly occupied. The
board of agriculture, now in a down
town store building, will In the near
future take the rooms occupied by the
state library and the judges' cham-

May Tie up School Land Dept.—It
is learned from an authoritative
source that Attorney General West is
contemplating filing a suit to enjoin
the commissioner of the school land
office from paying any money out of
the revenues from the state school
lands or from interest on the cash
fund except upon an appropriation
made by the legislature. If such a
suit is filed and the court takes the
view of the matter that has already
been expressed by Attorney General
West in an opinion to the legislature,
the school land department will be
tied up, as no money was appropri-
ated by the legislature recently ad-
journed for running that department
of the state government. Such a suit
probably would make it impossible for
the school land commissioners to sell
the public school lands provided for in
Senate Bill No. 1 and would tie up
indefinitely the sale of those lands.

The New York Medical Journal says
that there Is a decided reduction In the
number of medical students as com-
pared with the Immediate past, and at-
tributes it to "arbitrary standards In
medical education." The decline Is
probably due to tho fact that during
the past decade there has been a great
outpouring of young doctors from the
various medical schools, with a rapid
multiplication of "shingles" of practi-
tioners and a corresponding splitting
up of the business from a financial
standpoint. The same has been true
of the bar. There has been too great
a rush to the professions, with a conse-
quent overstocking of the marketB.

feet that the flne Imposed by Judge
Landis can be reduced to $720. The
grounds upon which Judge Anderson
bases this ruling Is that each settle-
ment between the railroad company
and the Standard Oil Company consti-
tuted one offense, whereas Judge
Landis ruled that each carload on
which a rebate was granted consti-
tuted a separate offense. If Judge An-
derson's ruling Is correct then the law
Is a farce and was evidently made to
catch tho small shippers. If this rul-
ing is in accordance with the law then,

Standard Oil Company might violate

the law a thousand times and In a

stopped In his mad career by the
strong arm of the law, and asked to
