Thla country la Buffering more from tainted politlca than from any other malady at the preaent time. There la scarcely a campaign speech made, a platform demand written or a mea sure enacted Into law that does not carry the taint of personal gain of aome politician or political faction thereof. There Is more "blue sky" In cam paign promlsea of many politicians running for office than was ever con tained In the prospectuses of the bold eat promoters of chimerical business schemes There are more secret com binations formed by politicians In the name of "My Country" than were ever formed under any and all other aliases. There are more political re bates hidden in the phrase "Be it en acted" than were ever concealed un der any and all other disguises. The Inordinate thirst for political power and unrestrained passion for mastery has caused more distress In thla nation than the greed for gold, and It ought to bo regulated by law. No business combination ever pursued their competitors as relentlessly or visited more heartless cruelty upon their customers than a political party that aeeka to make Junk of an In dustry, or cripple a business for party suocess, through tariff measures, po litical supervision and ofttlmes de structive legislation Many political platforms are aa alluring to the voter aa the story of the rainbow with Ita pot of gold and their consummation about aa far-fetched. Self gain Is the first law In politics There are many men In office today who, If they could not shake pluma off the tree of American liberty or cut a melon taken from Uncle Sum's commissary, would inn .. less desire to serve the public The country la aurfeltlng with patri ota, who will bare their breast to bul leta In defenae of their country, but there are few men In public life who will bare their breast to voters or run the gauntlet of party disfavor In de fenae of agriculture or Industry. No representative of the people, who will permit personal prejudice to dethrone Justice, party success to disfranchise reason or the rancor of a political campaign to Influence Judgment can render capable aervlce. The preservation of our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty In government, and the Amer ican voter ahould seek these attrl butea aa Implicitly aa the Wis Men followed the Star of Bethlehem and they will often be found to rest over the stable; the plow or the staff of the Shepherd. The surest cure for tainted politlca and machine rule la fresh air and aunahine and theae Im portant elements are moat abundant upon the farm, and when farmer, bankers and merchants are elected to membership In legislative bodlea, much of the trouble In government will dis appear IrtREOJpRITIES y Peter Radford. Much haa been said and more writ ten about the evils of watered atock In big business concerns and tbo farm era of thla nation believe that every dollar written Into the life of any business organisation, ahould be able to say "1 know that my Redeemer llveth," but farming la the biggest business on earth, and there is more water In Ita financial transaction than that of any other Industry. There Is as much water In a farmer's note drawing eight or ten per cent Intereat when other Hues of Industry secure money for four or live per ceut per annum, aa there la in a business pay lng a reasonable compensation upon the face value of securities repre seating an Inveatment of only fifty rents on the dollar. The only dlf ferttneo Is, the water la In the lutereat rate In one Instance and In the secur ities In the other. The promoter ofttlmea takea chancea and bis success la contingent upon (he development of the property in volved but the neurer, aa a rule, takea no chancea and his suoceaa cripples the property Involved. There may be industries that cry louder but none that suffer more severely from finan cial Immorality In both law and cua torn than that of agriculture. The farmers of America today are paying $200,000,000 per annum In usury on real estate and chattel loana, and thla Intereat capitalised at five per cent, represents $4,000,000, 000 of fictitious valuea which the farm er la paying Intereat on. This sum of money Is almost equal to the annual value of crops produced In the United States. The earning power of the farmer's note baaed upon his Interest rate very nearly divide likes the earth's aur race threefourtha water and one fourth land. The largeat body of wa ter that floats upon the financial hem isphere now reels upon the farma and ita wave are daahing and Ita billows are rolling against seven mil lion homes threatening ruin and die aster to the prosperity of the atloo. Will our public servants who under stand how to drain the liquid off In dustrial properties turn the faucet and let the water off the farma? It la an admitted economic fact that there can be no permanent proaperity without a permanent agriculture. Agriculture it recognised aa the greatest of all lndustriea and a proa porous, progressive aud tn lightened agricultural population If the tuieet eelofUATd, of drillaaUotl. Thezrgus, $1.00 the year. THE PENALTY OF CARELESSNESS By t. W. tngllsh, Firs Prevention Kxpcrt. Every time you hear the cry of "Fire!" you can be almost absolutely safe In thinking that someone has been careless. Fires don't happen. They are the Inevitable result of combinations of preventable things. When analyzed to the last equation It will be found that carelessness !s I the root whence spring nearly all fires. What a penalty Industry pays to carelessness! Fire is the grent de stroyer. The wealth of a generation can be wiped out in but a brief hour. Why not fight fires before they tart? Why not so conduct your habits and so keep your premises that when the fire demon wants to offer your savings a-; a sacrifice he will psss you by. Just as those of Egypt of old were passed over when the sign they had been told to place over their doors, were seen? Too often when those who are responsible from fire cry out they are the victims of bsd luck, they are but paying the natural penalty ior their own carelessness. If you want to keep down your fire Insurance rates, wage eternal war fare against those things that ever broed fires. RURAL SCHOOL TERM SHOULD OE EXTENDED By P. P. Claxton, V. . Commissioner of Kducatlon. In most States school days for country children sre fewer than for elty children. The average length of school term In cities of the United States It one hundred and eighty five daya; In rural communities one hundred and thirty-eight days, a dif ference of forty-seven daya. In some States the difference Is much greater than thla average. In many counties the overage length of the rural school term Oa less than one hun dred days, and In some districts It is less On the other hand. In the states of California Now York and Connecticut, the country schools are In aeealon one hundred and eighty days In a year, and In several other states almost aa long The country schools of Kbode Island are In aes tlon one hundred and ninety daya In a year. If all children are to have an equal opportunity for education we must even up the school terma of the country and give to all country chil dren at leaat at many daya aa are now given to city children. One hundred and eighty five days of schooling a year for all children will not be too much There are coun tries In which the schools, both for city and country, are in session from two hundred and twenty to two hun dred and fifty days or more In the year. American children need aa much education as those of any oth er country, and this applies to the rural aa well aa urban districts. AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL By T. N. Carver, Prufrwr of Kconumlc. Harvard I'Blv.rali, Bvery city haa its chamber of com merce or its Hoard of Trade. The purpose of such an organisation la to study economic und business op portunities of the city and promote enterprises which will help to build the city Does any one know of a good and sufficient reason why ev ery rural neighborhood ought not have a similar organization? In Germany they already have such organizations They are generally called the "landwlrthschaftarath" or agricultural council Home students of the problem of rural organization art strongly of the opinion that such an agricultural council is necessary before much can be doue for the bet tering of rural credit or the market ing of farm produce There is no object, for example. In having more capital in a farming neighborhood unless the farmers know without any guesswork Just how to use that capi tal ao aa to increase the production and the profit of their farms If all the leading farmers of a neighbor hood would lay their heads together and talk over the situation and study the opportunities for new investment, they would be less likely to make mistakes than If they work secretly, as separate individuals. CIVILIZATION' GREATEST TRAGEDY Extract from article by W O. Lewis. president Texas Farmers Inloii, op posing woman's suffrage: "We are willing to Join in every ef fort to elevate woman but will assist In none to drag her down The de scent of womanhood is the most awful tragedy in tivlllutlon As she sinks she may, like the -. King sun, tint the horizon wtlh the rays of her depart ing glory. She may tenderly kiss the mountain tops of her achievement farewell; she may, like the sinking sun. allure the populace with her beauty aa she disappears for the night but when she steps downward, the earth is aa certain to tremble and plunge into darkness aa death la to follow life" The Argus, 11.00 the year. THE BUTTLE OF THE TIRES Afrleultural and 'ommrrlal Press Brvlcl ft Is interesting to watch the forces of civilization battling for supremacy. The struggle now going on between the rubber and the iron tire promises to be the liveliest contest of the Twen tieth Century The struggle la a silent one and there are no war correspondents to w i lie vivid descriptions of the con-1 filet but the results are more far reaching to present and future gen erations than the war of Europe. The rubber tire has been maneuver Iiik for point of attack for several years and baa captured a few unlm-' portant positions In traffic, but it haa now pitched a decisive battle with Its Iron competitor by hurling a mil lion "Jitneys" at the street railways and the battle Is raging from ocean to ocean. Upon the result of the struggle depends tho future of the rubber tire. If It Is compelled to re treat, its doom Is sealed, hut If It wlna tho battle It will revolutionise the transportation methods of this nation. If the rubber tire conquers the street tralfic Its next struggle Is with the railroads of the country, and then the greatest battle between economic forces ever fought out on the face of this earth is on, for Iron is the un disputed master in transportation, and la fortified behind billions of dollars, and millions of men. Stephenson applied the steel tire to an Iron rati In 1814. but It waa 1889 before the golden spike waa driven at Promontory Point, which bound the country together with bands of steel. It took the Iron tire fifty-five years to creep from ocean to ocean, but the rubber tire while warm from the creative mind of the Inventive genius sped across the continent like an arrow ahot from the bow of I'lya ses. The roadbed was already pre pared and therein I es the power of the rubber tire over that of Iron, for government builds and maintains the public highway. Hut Iron Is a stubborn metal and It haa mastered every wheel that turna; haa fought battlea with every element above and beneath the earth aud has never taated the wormwood of defeat, and when rubber hurls Its full force against this monarch of the Mineral Kingdom, It may rebound to the factory atunned beyond recov ery. The rubber tire first made Ita ap pearance on the bicycle, but It proved a (rivo)oue servant and waa dismissed for Incompetency. It haa always been too much Inclined to revel In luxury to be tsken seriously as a utility ma chine and Its reputation la not one to inspire confidence In heavy traffic performance. Hut to those who care to waft Into dreamland, It la enchanting to note iii.it there will be a marvelous differ ence between a rubber and an iron age. The rubber tire will scatter the cities throughout the valleys for with transportation at every man's door, why a city? It will traverse the con tinent with a net work of Macadam highways as beautiful aa the boule vard built by Napoleon. It will par alyse the law making bodlea of this nation for how could the legislatures run without the railroads to operate on? FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL y Pstr Radford. The recent Investigation of the United States Commission of Indus trial Relations brought together the extremes of society aud has given the publlo an opportunity to view the rep resentatives of distinct classes, side by aide, and to atudy their vlewa In parallel columns. Capital and labor have always been glariug ut each other over gulfs of mlsunderstaudlng and If the Federal Industrial Commission attempts to bridge the chasm. It will render the public a distinct aervlce. The farmer haa been sitting on the fence wutculug capital and labor fight for many years and Incidentally furn ishing the sluewa of war and It It luitii gratifying to tlud them talking with, lustead of about, each other. When holiest men smile und look into Mi h other's souls. It alwuya makee the world better and far mure satis factory to the farmer, who in the end, bears the burden of conflict, than resolutions, speeches or pampbleta containing charges aud counter charges. The love for justice makes the whole world kin. I'nderstuudlug lean arbiter far more powerful than the mandates of government, for there la no authority quite so commanding aa an honest conscience; there la no de cree quite so binding aa that of the HupM-ine Court of Coffituun House and no sheriff can keep the peace quite ao perfect as I'nderstandlng. We suppose the time will never come when capital and labor will uot be i.i -' .uinn.iily blinded by the light ning flashes of avarice or frightened by the thunder peala of discontent. But Understanding ia a Prince of Peace that ever holds out the oltve branch to men who want to do right. A man's Income is always a sacred tblug for in it are the hope, ambition and opportunity of himself, and fam ily, but there la nothing lu a human heart quite so divine as Justice and Understanding la ita bauduiaideo.
