In a special article for The New York Journal of Commerce Mr. W. M. Hays, of the Agricultural Department, interestingly' directs attention to the changing balance between farm and industrial life in this country. Two generations ago two-thirds of our population was agricultural; now two thirds are engaged in pursuits other than agricultural and only one-third cultivates the soil. The balance has toen completely reversed. However, each farm Worker now produces twice as much as eighty years ago. He lia. more land, more scientific knowl edge and more machinery. Per capita consumption has undoubtedly increas ed at the same time, so that the net result is to quadruple the ratio of external demand for agricultural product. Notwithstanding the In creased production per agriculturalist, the farmer lias changed from a pur veyor primarily engaged in supplying his own wants to a purveyor for oth ers. Demand for his products, then very weak, has become very strong, and the higher prices which ha re ceives In consequence heneflt him enormously. How great the change in relation between supply and demand has been even within recent decades may be seen from an examination of the data taken from i ensus tables of 1P05 by Mr. Hays. While during the past generation manufactured prod ucts per capita of the country's en tile population iicirly doubled, agri cultural products Increased only one third more rapidly than the Increase In population, and during the present decade they appear to have positively fallen behind. Meat-producing ani mals, cralus, tobacco and hay have decidedly failed to keep the popula tion pace; i otton has continued well ahead. Increasing production per worker has not been able to keep pace with the decreasing proportion of workers. Hy the last decennial cen sus there were 4 4.3 per cent, of tha whole people engaged In agriculture In MHO. 31.1 par cent. In 1 890, and 3.',. 7 per cent. In 1 900. Any one who Intelligently peruses this statistical inattsr will find In it the full explanation of certain ob served facts which he possibly did not more than half understand before. When he considers, further, that sim ilar changes have been taking place In all civilized countries, that the pro portion of town dwellers to country dwellers luis eery where risen. he may gain increased insight into cer tain world-wide problems of econom ic, sociology and politics. Leaving him free to take a wider range If he so desires, we shall at present deal solely with the bread-and-butter ef fect of this rapid industrialization up on the L'nlted .States. It ha already become clear why many articles of food and wear were due a marked mho In price. Irrespec tive of trust activities, exceeslve tar iff rates, increased gold production or anything cjse. The trusts graft heav ily upon the whole country Hnd should be taken In hand, but it is true' be yond reasonable question that they are cursed for many and many a dol lar which really goe Into the pockets of the farmer. No wonder the neces sities of life are dear and remain dear practically without regard to business depression. They are likely to grow still dearer so Ion as the human tide from the farm to the factory and the -tore continues lare. It must be considered, also, that even upon this recently virgin continent expansion in cultivated land cannot go on indefi nitely, and, so far as the United States are concerned. th end Is not very far off. To keep the supply of agrleultti- ral products at all adequate there must i be learned the intensive farming ninth- j oils of Kurope. coupled with the ever Increasing store of valuable knowl edge which science offers the fanner. The day when the balance of migra tion will be In favor of the farm Is bound to come In time, but It has not come yet and will most likely prove distant. Here 111 the South the effects of In dustrialization have made themselves felt as vtroniflv as anywhere in the world, and nowhere in the world have they conferred benefits greater or worse needed. Kar more than the American farmer of other sections has 'ever been, the .Southern farmer thirty ,,., s,, was .1 pioducer without a I market worthy of the name. For the j mott JMrt. he had within reach no considerable number of people who were not farmers also. In the nu- nierous small towns and villages the population was so close to the sol! that the farmer could not have old them much even If they had been able lo buy. Cotton, tobacco and a few other crops he could alwajs sell at ! some price, hut It w as a wretched price and one which save him almost I no return for his labor. Land was a , ciruR 111 the market; every one w ho had m n h farming land was "land poor." The civil war had wrecked the institution of slavery without, as ivct, brtiiKini.- anything in return; war land reconstruction, destroying prop- erty. credit and organization, had made the poor poorer and the wealthy or well-to-do poor. Then began to ronie. a step at a time, the deliverance industrial de velopment, which was hut the revival of earlier enernles stifled by slavery. II was necessarily a slow process, and there wre sharp setbacks, notably, of course, the hard tini'sa of the middle nineties. In polltlrs the Southern farmer proved his own worst enemy; snd by Joining In the dejjtorably rnls-. guided cry for free silver he helped to bring on. Intensify and prolong the !st acute stage of his troubles. Oth er scH-Uons, happily, aaved the South snd the country from the danger threatened by this and kindred delu sions, and since that time Southern farmers have reached a permanently higher leval of material well-being. Factories draw from tha farms multi tude of "croppers' and other people - . . ' .- " a who, living hard life themselves, had been cheapening agricultural la bor and agricultural product, and bettered their condition greatly. Tha farmer's competitors were constantly turned Into customers. Thriving towna and cities, hungry for his products and rendered able to buy them with out stint through the production of wealth In other forms, arose on every hand. Farming became more profit able than ever before. To-day It must seem almost incredible to any rational man that but a short time ago our Populist friends were array ed In a class movement against the towns as the farmer's natural ene mies. To-day what owner of farming land can possibly hold such a view? H is town and factory development which has made farming profitable in North Carolina and every other State of the Industrial Kouth. For a long while hard pressed to find markets, the American farmer now has markets absorptive in the extreme. Demand leads supply and gets further In the lead every day. The man on the soil Is, we are heart ily glad to say, coming Into his own. . APPEARANCES MAY MISLEAD.. The public should not Jump to con clusions with regard to the condition of affairs found to exist In the office of the Insurance Commissioner but wait for disclosure of the facts. There is no evidence of wrong-doing and The Observer for one has no idea that there has been any. The worst that thus far appears Is a hopeless tangle, due to inefficient bookkeep ing or practically none' at all. This Is rjot to be wholly wondered at in view of the fact, for long well known, that no department of the State govern ment I3 so short of office help as this one has been for years. Not nearly so strange is the state of affairs in the Insurance department as is the fact that ever since the occupancy of the Kxecullve Mansion there has been paid out regularly to the Incumbent Governor, whoever he might have been, fit) a month for house rent when the .State was already providing him a house. Thla law wb made for the benefit of Governor Jarvis, who had no house and lived at a hotel; perhaps for the benefit of his prede cessor, Uovernor Vance, who did likew ise, and was not repealed when the occasion for Its enactment passed, doubtless for the reason that nobody thought about It. Throughout all the-e years a wrong lias undoubtedly been done, but here again no wrong has been done consciously. ST ATI's AS TRirrfT-Bl'STERS. In the Waters-Pierce oil rase Texas set out to oust the Waters-Pierce Company from Texas on the ground that It was a conspiracy In restraint of trade; to throw the corporations Texas properties Into the hands of a receiver named by the Ktate court, with authority to sell them; to fine the corporation nnmewhat over $1,- 600,000 for violation of Ktate laws. AH those thiiiKs Texas has done. The de cision of the l'nlted States Supreme Court Is n highly important Statea' rights victory and one which enables tho States to proceed effectively against trusts without regard to any action alone the same lines which may be taken hy the national government. Texas nntl-trust legislation will be tho subject of earnest legislation by members of Legislatures for some years to come. The ability to do a thing, however, does not Imply that It should he done. States need to keep in mind the prac tical dltntulties arising from their powertessness beyond their own bir ders. The example afforded by. the Texas victory would none tho less be hard to resist but for the almost universal disposition to venture upon nothing radical during a period of business recuperation. Two years hence it will almost certainly he heard from in more States than one. The proposition that the legislature re-open the c,hlld labor question with a view to a new agitation of It, would be unceremoniously kicked out of court if the mill men who are observ ing the present law that Is to say the vast majority would unite with the healthy public sentiment of the State in behalf of such amendment of it for Instance factory inspection as would compel observance of the law by the small lawless minority. On the North Carolina there has been installed for Mr. Tafts use a tjath tub seven feet one inch long, forty-one Inches wide and weighing a ton. It will hold four ordlnary-slxed men and is said to be the largest ever made. We suggest that if any doubt arises whether the North Carolina can get out of Charleston harbor heavily laden Mr. Taft and his hath tub might be taken across the bar in tow.

EASTERX DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.

To the Editor of The Observer- As the Democrat have never been able to name a Federal Judge in North Carolina since 1810. neverthe less the condition are stuch, especial ly since the creation of the Circuit Court of Appeals, a to enlist the deep concern of ail patriotic and thoughtful citizens, ot all parties, as to the man ner of man who is approved to sit as district Judge for the eastern district of North Carolina. Think of It for a moment. North Carolina hag about 2,000,000 people, and the district' judge for eastern North Carolina is the sole Judge (with certain exceptional instances) ' who sits In that vast territory to try and determine all causes criminal and civil causes, causes in equity and ad miralty, at law and In bankruptcy. A generation ago the business of the court was not a tithe of what it is now. Centralism In Federal ad ministration has tended to enor mously expand and draw Into the Federal courts caaes of great Import ance end In continually increasing numbers. 90 that Brooks and Sey mour, of former decades, if alive, would hardly recognise the docket of to-iay. Besides, in comparatively recent years, Congress has created a Circuit Court of Appeals. Five States are in cluded in thia, the fourth, circuit. There are only nine of these Circuit Courts of Appeals In the United States. This court in Jurisdiction, and In power, ranks second only to the Supreme Court of the United States. What Is the composition or per sonnel of this high court of appeals for the fourth circuit of West Vir ginia, Maryland, Virginia, N'orth Carolina and South Carolina? It Is composed of three Judges. It may have on It Chief Justice Fuller and the two circuit Judges, Goff and Prltchard. But FuHer rarely ever sits. It may be composed of one cir cuit Judge and two district Judges. Or it may be composed of three dis trict Judges. in ability, learning, those elements of mental grasp and legal lore that make up a very powerful tribunal, it often falls below the Supreme Courts of tho stutpq Rut urn In thn irrpat questions in equity, constitutional law s, great property Interests as to these no court in the land is called Mr. Bryan is one of the most re upon to pass on questions of more vl- markahle men of the day. Here he tal concern to the corporations, the i i declaring, after observing the trend business Interests and the general I of events, that If the election were to welfare of the citiien than those con- I conic off now his plurality would equal stantly before this court. It usually j that of Mr. Taft. Fact is If the elec sits with one of the two circuit Judges 1 Hon were to come off now Mr. Bryan presiding and two district Judge3 as I couldn't carry Georgia and he would associates. Never before In the history of this ?overnment was it of uch Vital im portance to the whole people, irre spective of creeds, parties or race, to have on the Federal bench law yers of renown, of unquestioned pro bity and Inflexibly Just. Here is one of our points of danger lavmen who do not study law and w ho therefore do not have time to see the trend of government along the provincial. Judicial way, often fail to realize 1 . . until too late that all the people are j lexaa uiaadenea. profoundly interested and affected by I Houston Post. these Judicial appointments and The Charlotte Observer revoke's that hence fail to exert themselves to get ; statement that the last cocktail was suitable men appointed.

If the constitution of the l'nlted States could be respected, and was permitted to have force and effect as to theso Judicial appointments, at least, the Stale would have some guarantee that men whom the State can hold responsible, would advise proper selection. Such appointments. says the constitution shall be made. ' hy and with the advice and consent of the Senate." There are two Sena tors from North Carolina in the Son ate. If the President would take their advice he would no doubt ap point a man tit to elt on the Circuit Court of Appeals. But it is given out from the press that he got the advice not of the Senator but of ex-revenue officers and of certain gentlemen at the head of the Republican machine. The great office is made a football of po litical scheming. The President had a big stick In each hand. With Duncan ha knocked down one of the Sena tors and with Judge Prltchard, the other.
