foundation."
"In Illinois," soliloquised the
"Sucker" son as ho strolled down
tho street, "the rain brings out the
the' subject of finance which was ! grass; In Oregon It brings out hu-
elgnd, hy "A Farmer," and It did so,
ii n' i ecause it believed tho present
an opportune time to discuss that
very delicate and troublesome ques
tloif, but because it regarded an ob
jecUin, from "a farmer" to any phase
of t; present condition as somewhat
of a curiosity. Not that a man,
whether he be a farmer or banker, or
n mrqlianlc, may not have his indi
vidual views, but when he comes to
sign his objection by the designation
of his, calling, he Is supposed to speak
for hie brethren of tho same calling.
Now the funnel a, at present, have lit
tle cir.use as farmers to object to the
financial situation, or the proposed
ub&ct, currency plan of the bankers,
as. anybody. It Is a fact that they
nrcv the country over, not only in
herently independent, but financially
free. They arc for tho most part, out
of dttbt. They are receiving largo
prices for what they produco and
their complaint against the railroad
companies la about tho only tenable
one,
Hut Is It fair to trguo against n
farmer's objection to given legisla
tion,' by pointing out that ho Is the
leas hurt by it, and therefore tho
lease entitled to object? While tho
nnsTr should bo in tho negative, tho
bad fact still remains that modern
civilisation is governed by the power
of "Interests" although theoretically
wo hug tho delusion that wo have
luiui'taod suffrage and manhood gov-
m or.
"YES," for four days wo went
without anything to eat" "How's
that?" Interrupted the casual dropper
in.
"It happened in Dakota," said
Mrs. Stutsman, retelling the story for
tho benefit of the newcomer as the
latter ensconsed himself in one of
tho roomy chairs which go so far to
ward contributing to the general
atmosphere of hospitality which per
vades the ofllco of this particular
Marshfleld real estate firm. "We
were enrouto from Illinois to Spo
kane and crossing the Dakotas," she
continued, "and were sixty miles
from any station when one of those
snow storms struck us. At the be
ginning of the storm we had what
they call a complete Pullman train,
but tho snow kept piling up and they
kept cutting off coaches until at last
wo had a day coach and a smoker.
Even these proved to much for the
engine and we stuck fast. It kept
snowing and freezing and we kept
sticking and fasting. There were
about eighty people on the train and
the commissary department had
nothing but bread and butter which
by frugal management lasted us
about twenty-four hours.
"Wo became so hungry that we
couldn't sleep and still tho hours
kept dolling themselves out. At last
eminent. Tho peoplo ns a whole ' tUo fourth day came around and with
c:ow!'d,e the right to shape financial
li'gtstxtion to tho bankers and big
juoii.yed interests. Tho only ones
who usually object are tho debtors
and. they arc ultimately silenced by
tho need which forces them to ap
peal '.o the moneyed interests for help
And the necessity for such an appeal
is made all the more evident by tho
utter. Indifference of tlioso who hap
pen to bo out of debt. From 1893 to
11)00 the fanners were loudest In
their outcries and tho most deeply
in debt. But tho panic of 1907 was
not a farmers' panic. Tho cities
whtr.h have witnessed tho return from
roiirtructlon work of hordes of
wlillijin honest workers' now called
"hollos" and "tiamps," are tho debt
ors And natural objectors. But what
do- they know or care about asset
currency? Most of them, whllo liv
ing' u night mure aro dreaming
drl-aHis of Socialism and Impractical
Ideals, and rather hope tho worst
legislation may bo enacted. Thus It
is highly probablo that tho moneyed
lute ests will have n clear Hold, with
out '.ho notice of tho ono radical elo
mciit or the .mention of that other
most Intelligent and conservative of
out' xVnierlcan peoplo, tho farmers,
who aro just now prosperous, out of

it came a rescue engine. It had been
working for hours trying to got to us.
When It finally coupled on we started
on our postponed journey. Tho
nearest railway station was sixty
miles away and the engine fought Its
wny. through tho snow and Ice for
what seemed an ago. At last wo
reached it and could hardly wait un
til the train slowed down. And what
do you think was the first thing that
greeted us in that station. A big
sign, "Fifteen Minutes for Dinner".
Having seen tho party safely back
to civilization and sustenanco tho
"the mayor will be here in four
minutes and fifty-eight seconds."
"How's that?" asked a comparative
stranger to the council meetings and
who may have been inclined to a
shade of posslmlsm on the subject of
a man who possessed such superlative
methodical traits as the alderman's
remark inferred.
"Oh nothing," said Mr. Savage,
"only you can set your watch by the
mayor's time of appearing at the
council meetings. Nqw watch that
door."
Thus admonished the stranger
watched the door with Intense fascin
ation. As he watched he realized how
the people felt who waited for the
second hand to announce the return
of Jules Verne's hero in "Around
the World In Eighty Days." Seven
fifty-six, fifty-six and a half, fifty
seven, fifty-seven and a half, fifty
eight, fifty-eight and a half, fifty
nine, and the last fatal count began.
Second after second the watch ticked
off and then on the second as the
watch hands Indexed seven fifty-nine
and fifty-eight seconds "Doc" made
his appearance, walked to the table,
assumed the official chair and as the
watch ticked 8 o'clock tho Mayor's
stenotorian tones called out, "Meet
ing will come to order." The stranger
relaxed Into a limp heap from the
strain. To his surprise he noticed
that the mayor's punctuality caused
no excitement, if it was noticed at
all, among tho councllmen. The
stranger was no longer a pessimist
but through his mind ran the
thought: What if the Mayor's watch
should stop while the telegraph wires
are down?
The public responds "In kind" to
s'ore-advertislng. If it Is big, im
portant, full of significance to thrifty
people it will "pull" it will impress,
It will create trade, accordingly.
