Woman RufTrsgc carried in Montana and Nevada and waa defeated in Neb raska. MiRRouri, Ohio, North ami South Dakota. The drya carried Oregon. Waahinfton Colorado and Arizona, while Ohio and California went wet. Ohio adopted a home rule amendment ami MiRRouri de feated a county unit ayatem. OrKon elected all republican officers but the senator and Idaho all the state officers but the governor. It la eaay to understated why Haines waa defeated in Idaho but not ao eaay to figure out how Oregon voted dry by auch a large major ity and then voted for Chamberlain who has always been a drinking man, ignor ing Mr. Ilooth who has been a worker in the dry ranks for years. In the county election the county seat uestion overshadowed the county offi cers in most of the county, Weaver for treasurer waa the only republican elect ed. Incomplete returna indicate that the county seat will lie retained at Vale for another four years. The election has many surprlsea aud mix upH ami returns are hard to anal yse, but it ia generally conceded that the tear argument gave the victory to Vale, through sympathy. The .lull- is to be congratulated on having thrown olT the West collar in part, by electing James Withycombe, who will do much to regain the lost prestige of the slate. There ia every prosM-ct that when the eople have simmer opportunity nicy win selcrl s republican to represent them in the sen ate. Kverylliing indicates that at the next general election there will lie a return to republican rule and the protection of the American Farmers, recovering from the progressive contagion.

AGRICULTURAL LEG ISLATION NEEDED The Farm the Place to Study All Legislative Problems. By Ptr Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The principal function performed by government today Is to coUect taxes, keep records and prevent and punish trim... but that la not sufficient. Gov ernment should tip its hat to the God dess of Opportunity a courageously as it draws a sli shooter on a train rubber. We ought to encourag thrift as well as restrain greed. We have been baaing legislation upon the ex tremes of human life -the classes high and low, the depraved and the talented let us now reach the masses and the extremes will more nearly disappear Our atatutes are filled to overflowing with pity and revenge let u add opportunity. The slogan of the Farmera' Union Is co-operation. Not only among In dividual farmers, but between all legi timate and useful occupatlona. We want to sit around the hearthstone of Industry and talk over problems of mutual Interest with our neighbors. We want to Invito thoa who ar earnestly aearchlng for Information on public question to get baok to the soil with their investigations where, In the stillness of nature, they can climb the mountain-top of wla dom, eiplnre the dp canyons of knowledge and stroll through th 'iniet valleys of understanding There Is no problem In civilisation that cannot b found In It native tat on the as mi The labor, du rational, financial. transportation. home building and all other problems are there We will discus a few of them. The Labor Problem. We bow to the dignity of labor No one would be willing to do more to lighten the burdens. Increase the safety, comforts and profits of those who labor In commerce and Industry than their fellow . toller In agricul ture. But how about the farmer who bows bis bark to feed and clothe the world, and who works from sun until sun? Is he not also entitled to an Increase In pay and a shortening of hours Much has been aald about the women lu the factory and behind the counter but how about the woman In the field, drenched In perspiration, gathering the harvest, the little chil dren, their lips wet with mother's milk, tolling by her side? Are they not also entitled to consideration Is not the man who digs In the ground entitled to the same consideration aa he who tolls at the forge, weaves at the loom and works behind the count er? The farmer has been bearing hi bin. lens as patiently as the beast he plows, but Is patience a bar from lue tic? Tbe labor problem of Virginia today la on the farm, and the first attention should be given those who labor In the field The Ned of Chaap Mny. Agriculture has never been proper ly financed Til farmer pay a much higher rate or Interest aa a nil than any other claaa of borrower and hi property, especially that of farm prod acts. Is not so readily accepted as a basis of credit aa the property of other lines of Industry of equal mar ket value. A rural or land credit ayatem I needed that will enable a farmer to buy a home on long time at a chaap rate of Interest. A statute based on sound buslneee principles that will enable the land- less to buy and encourage the large laud owner to sell. Is much needed, and one that merits the moot serious consideration of our law maker The financial problem of the state aud nation is on the farm, and first attention should be given those who create the nation's wealth. It is an admitted economic fact that there can be no permanent prosperity without a permanent agriculture. An up-to-date farmer must have aa accurate knowledge of today and a clear vlalon oi tomorrow. In this age of advancement In agri cultural science there is no excuse far soil depletion to further menace the nation's prosperity. Soil la not a dead, inert eubstanee. as many suppose It is an active, virile force, full of energy and power and the farmer should know his soil If he would maintain Its product! sjsmm Playing with a shotgun, believed to have been not loaded, Krueet Braudtl, 6 year-old sou of John C.
