Horses On Public Domain Recent Legislation at the National Capital of Advantage to Settlers (From an Occasional Correspondent) Washington, April 29.—Through the passage of the enlarged homestead bill, the three year homestead bill, and other measures which have for their purpose more liberal treatment of citizens who desire to secure a home on the public domain, it is believed that the tide of emigration to Canada will be somewhat checked. In all of the public land states there has been dissatisfaction for a number of years over the manner in which the public land laws have been administered. It has seemed as if the intent had been to harass the settler to such an extent that he would abandon his claim and let it revert to its original condition. Then came the cult of the conservationist, who sought to prevent the passing of title to individuals or corporations altogether, and who wanted, and still wants to create a vast rent roll for the government, the idea seemingly being to give a bureaucracy control and to extend its power and authority. Now there is a very natural reaction. The government having disposed of its choicest public lands, it becomes necessary to make more reasonable regulations in order to induce the masses to get "back to the land." Encouragement for the farmer is also coming about as a result of the extensive work of the agricultural department at Washington, and the activities of its trained scientists who are working in all portions of the country to help solve the problems of the farmer and fruitgrower. Beside all this, congress is beginn- As to Mr. John Crosby's enterprise in running a five or six line advertisement in 1769, what would he think now to see the growers of oranges and lemons in California spending $150,000 in a single year and the growers in Florida making an expenditure proportionately large, to advertise their wares, and besides that distributing to the consumers in the shape of premium the entire product of one big silver ware factory? In all ages the eating of fruit has been recognized as an aid to health. Some of the more advanced dieticians advocate the use of fruit and nuts exclusively. The more reasonable plan, however, seems to be to eat "plenty of fruit," and that is the way Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the famed pure food expert puts it. He believes that everyone should eat fruit—say oranges or apples, and they cost about the same—every day. The nation seems to be following this advice. "It will save doctor's bills," says Dr. Wiley, and who should know better than he? But that is a fundamental fact which everyone should know from experience. It is pretty safe to say that the more fruit people eat, the better the health of the nation will be. So great is the demand for agricultural imports in this country that our sales abroad are falling off and we are importing large quantities. The recent shipments of potatoes from Ireland are fresh in everyone's mind, and we take considerable shipments from Canada and Mexico. A recent agricultural item in the con- The government having disposed of its choicest public lands, it becomes necessary to make more reasonable regulations in order to induce the masses to get "back to the land." Encouragement for the farmer is also coming about as a result of the extensive work of the agricultural department at Washington, and the activities of its trained scientists who are working in all portions of the country to help solve the problems of the farmer and fruitgrower. Beside all this, congress is beginning to look with a more kindly eye on the need of extending such protection as is afforded by the tariff to the farmers. At one time the latter seemed to be without the pale. Now the farmer, who made his voice heard when the Canadian reciprocity treaty was under discussion, has compelled the country to notice him, and in the future he will find little trouble in getting congress to listen to his petitions. Every person of mature years can remember when it was questioned whether fruit could be raised in many localities where it is now staple—for instance, in Kansas, Nebraska and most of the western states. Probably the same doubt once existed as to the suitability of New York for fruit growing—yet western New York is said to be the greatest apple region in the world; as to New Jersey and Delaware, where peaches and other fruits are now so profitable; as to the entire western reserve, most of which is so valuable for farming and fruit growing that the prices paid for farming lands would seem fabulous to those pioneers who burned up the black walnut trees to make room for their corn patches. The same doubts existed regarding Washington, Oregon and California, now famed the world over for their apples, prunes, raisins, walnuts, and especially for their oranges and lemons. Regarding the latter especially—lemons—it was many years before the growers, at much cost of time and money, learned what varieties to plant, how to cultivate them, more especially how to cure them for market, (for the lemon like the pear must be picked green and cured, always being handled literally with gloves, or "like eggs," as the saying goes), and how to ship them. Then it was found that the fruit could be imported more cheaply than the home producer could grow it. Finally the tariff helped that, and in time it is predicted the state of California alone will be able to supply all of the le- TAFT THE REAL TRUST BUSTER Record Discounts That of T.R., who, Longer in Office, Did Less Roosevelt orators and Roosevelt newspapers are making much of the colonel's record on the trusts during the time he was president. They have been making comparisons that they hoped would be damaging to the record of President Taft on the same subject. However, despite all their howling, denunciation and false statements, the shoe happens to be on the other foot. When it comes to the matter of prosecuting the trusts and illegal combinations of capital in the courts President Taft has predecessor so badly outclassed that comparison is odious to the colonel and his supporters. The administration of President Taft has broken all records as a trust buster. It has that of ex-President Roosevelt "beaten to a frazzle," to use the colonel's favorite phrase. In the three years that Mr. Taft has been president he has brought four more civil suits and fifteen more criminal prosecutions than were brought in the whole seven years and a half of the Roosevelt administration. But this is not the whole achievement of the Taft administration in the matter of trust prosecution. In addition to the suits, civil and criminal, that he has had instituted, he has disposed of sixteen cases left over by his predecessor. These cases were taken up, on the order of the president when he assumed office March 4, 1909, and carried to a successful issue. During the Taft administration, up to February, 1912, twenty-two civil In the republican form of 1908 strong made to the prosessory and illegal administration, and at the time that he had been a great hand in his speech of a statement that he are referring to the truth elected he would face of his predecessor and punishment of Mr. Taft has been three years and did has broken all re-buster.

Then it was found that the fruit could be imported more cheaply than the home producer could grow it. Finally the tariff helped that, and in time it is predicted the state of California alone will be able to supply all of the lemons consumed in the United States, "and then some," and that the price will go so low—it is now dropping—that the foreigner will not find this market tempting except to unload his surplus on it. Advertising is an art that has grown but slowly. Some of the old files of newspapers that are kept stored away in the congressional library are of the greatest interest because they give as nothing else can certain aspects of the times in which they were printed. The house beautiful has found in one of these old newspapers some quaint little advertisements and among them is one of the little shop where lemons were sold in Boston by John Crosby. He called it "The Basket of Lemons." This was away back in 1769, and Citizen Crosby modestly asserted that his lemons were "as large, in general, as lemons commonly are," and that they were sold "at L4 per hundred, or ten shillings per dozen." That would be from ten to twenty times the present cost. And yet one of the free trade advocates in congress had the assurance last year to charge publicly that the high cost of living was due to the tariff on lemons. But this is not the whole achievement of the Taft administration in the matter of trust prosecution. In addition to the suits, civil and criminal, that he has had instituted, he has disposed of sixteen cases left over by his predecessor. These cases were taken up, on the order of the president when he assumed office March 4, 1909, and carried to a successful issue. During the Taft administration, up to February, 1912, twenty-two civil and forty criminal suits have been brought against the trusts. As a result of these actions there have been more than twenty indictments. Eleven of these involved no less than eighty prominent capitalists who have been closely identified with Big Business. There have been a number of convictions and there are still many cases pending in the civil and criminal courts. The president is anxious to continue his record as a trust buster and to show Big Business and Wall street that for once there is a man in the White House fearless and independent enough to "beard the lion in his den." Brief reference to some of the trust cases may prove of interest to those who are seeking light and information concerning the president's record thereon. A study of the suits show some of the obstacles the government has encountered in its effort to make the rich malefactors amenable to the law and to make this a government of equality as well as of opportunity. One of the prosecutions brought by the Taft administration carries the American people back to the time in 1903 when an effort was made by a coterie of prominent speculators to corner the cotton market through bribing govern- ment officials. This case dragged along without action until Mr. Taft became president. The corner resulted in the price of cotton being raised throughout the country by restricting the output and was in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The punishment meted out to the offenders as a result of the president's activity is well known to the American people. Another of the notable achievements of the department of justice under the Taft administration was the dissolution of the wire trust. During the Roosevelt administration the wire industry was pooled. The president ordered the attorney general to bring suit against the trust with the result that it was dissolved and eighty-three men involved in its formation were indicted, prosecuted and found guilty. One of the most outrageous violations of the Sherman anti-trust law was that committed when the glass trust was formed. This also occurred during the Roosevelt administration. Practically all the glass manufacturers, eighty-three in number, formed a pool and immediately the price of glass went up 100 per cent. The indictment of the men responsible, their prosecution and conviction are of such recent occurrence that repetition here would be superfluous. The dissolution of the glass trust is one of the trust busting achievements of the Taft administration and has resulted in bringing the price of that commodity back to a normal state. In the republican national platform of 1908 strong reference was made to the prosecution of the predatory and illegal trusts under the administration, and it was declared at the time that the Sherman law had been a great force for good in the hands of a conscientious official. of the farm school, and its 800 acres of rich Sacramento valley land. Ten universities and colleges will be represented in the conference track meet at University of California on May 4—the universities of California, Stanford, Washington, Nevada, Southern California, and Oregon, and Washington State Agricultural college, Santa Clara, Pomona, and Occidental college. This will be the most important intercollegiate track meet ever held on the Pacific coast. The University of California will establish a temporary outpost this summer in the Yosemite valley. At the conclusion of the summer session (which extends from June 24 to August 4) the summer students of botany and zoology will go to the Yosemite for two weeks. The botanical students will put into practice the training received at Berkeley, by field studies on the classification and zonal distribution of the flowering plants and ferns in that portion of the Sierra Nevada. Meanwhile all those who have had the summer session courses in zoology will study the habits and characteristics and ways of life of the mountain birds and mammals of the Yosemite region. For five weeks during the summer a party of summer session students will be encamped south and east of Mount Diablo, engaged in collecting fossils, identifying extinct animals of which they are the remains, and also mapping the faunal zones which record the changes of species over periods of uncounted hundreds of thousands of years. Still another summer outpost of the university will be the summer school of surveying, at Camp California, near Swanton in Santa Clara county. Here some 200 men will be learning how to make maps, survey is one of the trust busting achievements of the Taft administration and has resulted in bringing the price of that commodity back to a normal state. In the republican national platform of 1908 strong reference was made to the prosecution of the predatory and illegal trusts under the administration, and it was declared at the time that the Sherman law had been a great force for good in the hands of a conscientious official. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Taft stated that he approved the plank referring to the trusts and that if elected he would follow the footsteps of his predecessor in the prosecution and punishment of Big Business. Mr. Taft has been president but three years and during that time he has broken all records as a trust-buster. Ex-President Roosevelt, during the seven and one-half years he was in the White House, brought 18 civil and twenty-five criminal suits against trusts and corporations. During the three years Mr. Taft has been president he has brought twenty-two civil and forty criminal suits against illegal combinations. In other words, President Taft is a better trust-buster than Roosevelt was, four to one. In view of these indisputable facts, does it not seem presumptuous for the men who are backing Roosevelt for a third term to talk about his achievements as a trust buster? Taft headquarters continue to receive the most encouraging reports in regard to the president's campaign throughout Southern California. Indications point to a large vote to be cast in the presidential primary May 14th and with a continuation of the present enthusiasm it is more than a reasonable certainty that the president's vote south of the Tehachapi will be exceedingly large. It is probable that with the indications in central and northern California overwhelmingly for Taft, and with Southern California held anything like normal, the president will capture the delegation for the republican national convention from this state.

Still another summer outpost of the university will be the summer school of surveying, at Camp California, near Swanton in Santa Clara county. Here some 200 men will be learning how to make maps, survey lands, run railroads and canals, and lay out irrigation and drainage systems. A monumental "Guide to the Mexican Archives," a volume of 600 pages, fruit of ten years of investigation in the archives of the Mexican government and the civil and ecclesiastical archives of the provincial capitals, is to be published in June by Dr. Hebert Eugene Bolton, professor of American history in the university of California. The Carnegie institution of Washington issues the work. Scholars the world over will find it a mine of information as to documents relating to North American history awaiting the researches of the historians. Much of the history of the west will need to be rewritten when these newly discovered sources have been explored. Among the visitors who have given lectures or addresses at the university lately have been William Faversham, the English actor; Wilhelm Paszkowski of Berlin, director of the academic bureau of information; Professor Bliss Perry of Harvard, long editor of the Atlantic Monthly; R. M. Searle who began life as Edison's office-boy and is now head of the principal public service corporation of Rochester, N. Y. (Mr. Searle gave personal recollections of Edison and told of two of his recent inventions—a phonograph free from the usual scratching noise and a machine which combines the phonograph and the moving picture apparatus, so that one may sit at home and see and hear a grand opera, with music and picture perfectly synchronized); Mrs. E. S. Simpson, who told of newspaper work as a career for women; State Forester G. M. Homans; and Arthur Rugh, for the past six years secretary of the Y.M.C.A. in Shanghai, who talked on the revolution in China. James A.

On April 29 a United States army inspector inspected the university cadets (all male students are required to drill for two years.) From April 29 to May 9 the final examinations will be in progress. The commencement festivities will begin on Friday evening, May 10, with the annual "Senior Extravaganza," this year to be "Ephraim," a humorous rejoinder to Professor Charles Mills Gayley's book on the problems of the university life. "Idols of Education." Ephraim was written by C. Nelson Hackett, '12. Its action, choruses, dances and spectacle will be participated in by several hundred members of the graduating class on Saturday, afternoon, May 11, Verdi's Requiem will be sung in the Greek theatre by the Berkeley oratoric society, the chorus and the orchestra being conducted by university choragus, Paul Steindorff. That evening the class banquets will occur. The same day the fourth annual picnic will be held at the university farm at Davis, an event which will bring several thousand farmers and their families together, to see the flocks and herds, the experimental fields and gardens, and the varied equipment and near a grand opera, with music and picture perfectly synchronized; Mrs. E.

"Modernity, you know, is always valuable. A man's wife said to him on his return at 4 o'clock the other morning: "'There, there. Don't put your shoes in the bureau and your necktie on the floor.
