Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunities ft National Crime.
By Peter Radford.
Thero novor was a time In the bis
lory of this nation when we needed
atatosmon moro or agitators loss than
at tho present moment. The oppor
tunities now afforded us on land and
sea demand tho best Uioro la in stato
craft and tho possibilities that aro con
fronting us call for national Issues
that unlto tho pooplo, build industry
and expand trade. Tho agricultural
and Industrial development of tills
nation has oufforod soverely at tho
hands of agitators who hnvo sent
torpedoes crashing Into tho port side
of business and whoso neglect of tho
Intoranta of tho farmer makes them
llttlo loss than political criminals. Wo
want no moro of thoso aril spirits to
predomlnato In government. Too long
tholr hysterical cry has sont a shlvnr
down tho spinal column of Industry
Too long havo tho political agitators
capltalliod strife, pillaged progress
and murdored opportunity. An Indus
trial corpso Is not a dcslrabla thing,
a crippled buslnoss an nchlnvnment or
nogloct an accomplishment about
which any reprosoutatlvo of tho gov
urnmont has a right to boast.
Issues that Dread Agitators Should be
Eliminated.
Tho political agitator must be ellm
Inatcd from public Itfo boforo thought
ful consideration can bn given to a
constructive program in government.
Tho liquor quostlon Is tho most pro
llflc brooding ground for agitators and
whothor pro or null, tho hatch Is
usually as undesirable. This article
lit In no sonso a discussion of the II
quor question but deals solely and by
way of Illustration with tho political
products of that Issuo. Other sub'
Jucts will bo donlt with in tho order
of their Importance
In tho history of our government
tho liquor Issue has novor produced
u constructive statesman worth men
Honing and it novor will. It has sent
moro froaks to Congress, Ulllputlnns
to tho Honato and Incompetents to
oftlco than any othor political Issuo
under the sun.
Tho rocont oxporlonco of tho Kiik
Hah Parliament which lashed Itself
Into a fury over tliu liquor question
has a lossun that It is well for the
farmers of this nation to observe; for
tlm subject In Hoinn form or other Is
constantly boforo tho public for solu
tlon and ofttlmos to tho exclusion of
moro Important probloius to tho Amer
ican plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards.
I.loyd-Ooorgo, the Prohibition leader
of Kuropo who led the prohibition light
in Kugland, has declared that he will
never again tako a drink politically
and thoro aro many American polltl
clans pro and auti -who would render
tholr country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing a pledge
of political toinperonco. Too often
our legislative halls are turned Into
political barrooms and many of tho
members become Intoxicated on liquor
discussions. Wo havo too many pollt
leal drunkards pro and anil In our
public uffutru. No one who Is a slave
!to the political liquor habit Is quite
so capable of dealing with tho bus!
ness affairs of government as the
sober nud Industrious, We have few
Ipubllo men In this day who are strong
enough to resist tho temptation of
.strung drink politically nud when the
-demon Hum ouco becomes firmly en
trenched In the mind of a politician,
be Is loss capable of meeting the de
Luanda for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
Wo hnvo In this country too man)'
red-nosed politicians both pro and
auti. A candidate with political dell
rlum tremens, a preacher with .polltl
cul suakes In his boots and an agitator
drunk ou the liquor question are the
saddest sights In civilisation and they
should all be forced to take the pollt
leal Kocley Cure.
It Is far moro Important In govern
ment to make It easier for those who
toll to eat than to make It more dif
ficult for a few topers to drink. There
Is not one person In one hundred of
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but we all eat tbrse times a
day.

Thero novor was a tlmo when
prvachcrs mid politicians formed an
unholy alllanco that civilisation did
not shriek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning of gov
ttrntneiit, politicians hnvo sought to
decoy the ministry Into the meshes of
politics and make them carry bauners
In political processions. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain-
top of power and offered to make them
monarch of all they surveyed, and
-while most of them have said, "Oet
theo behind mo Satan," a few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit in Christendom.
