Sunday Not long since a jury sentenced
1’reaching Sargeant Manley of the State
National Guard to life imprison-
ment for running a bayopet
through the body of t he deputy,
county clerk of Dallas county on
the occasion of President Taft’s
visit to Dallas last year, and
the verdict created a great fur-
ror among the various mlllitary
organizations of the State, many
of whom threaten to quit the
service if the verdict stands. ,
Manley was placed on guard
duty and instructed to prevent
anyone from crossing a wire
that had lieen placed in position
to keep the crowds back. A
crowd of men, among whom
th^ Sabbath j was thc (lePuty clerk- camc-to
the wire and expressed a desire
to cross in order to catch a
street car. Manley ordered
them back, a few words follow-
and the body of the depu-
ty clerk was thrust through by
a bayonet attached to an army
gun in the hands of Manley and
from which wound death
suited.
Civil authorities arrested the
sMdiei, the grand jury found a
bill and recently he was tried,
convicted and sentenced ns
above stated. No! small number
of the State National Guard
have uttered their unqualified
disapproval of the verdict and
intimate that it was aa insult
und a degredatiou (jo that body

to cross one of their lines, and

Modernizing the Farm.
The continued warnings by
James J. Hill, that the food sup-
ply of the United States is in
imminent danger of shortage,
have finally aroused thinking
people to seek remedy. Agri-
cultural experts, including Mr.
Hill himself, find it it in greater
production from each acre. The
Chicago Tribune created the
Uni ted States land und irrigation
exhibition to show more people
how to get back to the land.,
T h e resulting-city-to-country
movements fills up the waste
places and augments the ranks
of the producers. But our needs
are enormous, increasing more
rapidly than either method will
suffice to meet. Mechanical
power applied to the heavy work
of the farm enables larger areas
to be handled and production to
keep pace with demand. Even-
tually it will supply everywhere
the great excess of power needed
to plow more deeply in season,
the greatest present obstacle to-
maximum yields.
There are now 15,00 0,000
horses ami mules on the farms
of the United States. Ten mil-
lion more are necessary to keep
up thc supply. At present prices,
their food alone costs the enorm-
ous total of $1,250,000,000 an-
nually, equlling the total income
of over 2,000,00 average fami-
lies. Of $5,7000,000,00 worth
of crops produced in 1909, over
one fifth, nearly one fourth, the
entire value was to prod nre farm
power. One acre in five is with-
held from supplying the wants
of thc human race by the use of
the horse which Thomas A. Edi-
son calls the most inefficient
motor ever made. The oilpult
