Porte the ki:mek A 'a-'-ier is an individual who works 13 hours a day for a iiin?; If the undertaker gets him before h-; is 5" he don't even set itei He works from 5 in the morn'n until noon to pay his taxes and In '.ores ; he works all afternoon to pay the hired man and after supper he kg, out and work. till dark to try a:id save enough to get his wi'e a new dress and hat; which she BUM! h;ve every five years, whether sht? neel it or not. Some folk:! farm because they like to .iiid cannot ileep after 4 o'cloc ,:i the morning; others bfnii 1 i-: have to, and nobody cares a cuss about the rest. Th farmer warns up in the morning in spring time amid the beautiful notes of the song birds and in the fall he wakes up as the other notes are due In the good old dajs he raised barley and hop?) to add a little joy to life Now in order to get a little joy he must have home brew and this neces sitates catching a grasshopper, driv ing it a few miles and gathering up the hops. A farmer raises a big family to help him farm; when they are young they can't help and when they grow up they go to town to drive a street car or work in a bank. Thf-re are two kinds of farmers: Check look farmers and grass root or dirt farmer.". The former have perfume on their handkerchiefs and the latter on their overalls. One makes his money in town and spends it In the country the other in try ing to save enough In the country to pay for what he has already -pert in town. A farmer tried to go through bankruptcy a short time ago and when his attorney told him that it would take $lfn to make the trip he said he couldn't afford to and would have to farm another year. f, s.- Cheer up. The snow is gone, the sun i shining, the MM are out back of the burns scratching for a few frewh worms and we'll have fresh eggs for breakfast anyway. "TeriMvcrotis Tim'' in The Nortbfield News. ERXMK3 i .,llf Individuality and state's rights like personal liberty, are things which have, to a very large measure been thrown into the discard on Be-, count of government supervision. Local self-government is largely a thing of the past and our morals ud vi-,iiL. reisonal likes and dis hes, o.ir whools, public welfare, ;arm aft i s. are all supervised today by bureaus each with ita army of inspectors, all on the pay roll, and n addition lo their iiernonal unpopii-; larity, idd la the cost of upkeep. The fed'.ral government of the United State-! has gone fa- be.on-l the tnoughts and desires of the orig inal iramers of the constitution and little is left to the individual or me local community or the state. Quoting from a recent editorial in the Boise, Idaho. Statesman on thh subject, that paper says in drawing jl comparison, "If ya blow a baloon too bie she busts'" That is small coy talk but good sense The people of the I'nited rfiates ate becoming restive under too much supervb-on and board control. Tne power i t.vi-u b constitutional a a etidme i put ov- by busy minority which has a selfish and ptr.-fbnal in terest in people who are so busy at tending to their own affairs that they have not time io seek to tell other people how they shall and must live, and what they may and may not do. The statute books are jammed with laws that disregard the con stitution. The history of the world is replete with the spory of many governments and people who and which have fal len from that, very fault. Germany, under fiismark and the late Kaiser; i France under Napoleon, the nations of Rome and Greece. The idea of the framers of the con stitution were that the people of the various states might well handle their own affairs and one state be free from the domination of another so far as their private affairs are con cerned. States were to handle the details of local government while the federal government was to concern itself with foreign affairi. the army and navy and the relations between states. "Year after year" to quote Senator Borah, "congress is lashed into pass ing laws which are manifestly un constitutional and it has become to be a settled principal, apparently, that congress should disregard the. consiitution and leave the supreme court alone to protect It. Congress and ihe courts have given to the federal government powers to the point where restlessness on the part of Ihe people is the result, peo ple who are tired of b- lng regulated, controlled, censored and told what to do. Every government which has tried it has failed. "If you blow a balloon too big she busts". VINE NEW IAWH PROPONED Besides all the legislature will en act, nine measure will confront the voters at the November election. Scottish Rite compulsory educa tion bill, under which all children between the aues of 8 and lfi years would be compelled to attend the public schools, and elimination of all private schools.

Interest rate amendment, limiting the legal rate of interest to 6 per cent and the contract rate to 7 per cent.. Two constitutional amendments to permit Linn and Benton counties! to levy special taxes to pay outstanding warrants. The state will probably vote NO on all of these bills but the Portland Fair bill.

FIRST - The Presbvterian Church commits a folly and sin if he permits infamous here tic who deny the deity of Christ I'd the infallibility of the Bible to t .!. in her ranks and to occupy her s S- RPLLD -Jfj AjroissnK pulpits. I insist she has no right to allow such enemies of God, of home, and of government to carry her name. I think a Presbyterian minister who denies the deity of C hrist or the infallible Word of (iod and continues to occupy a Presbyterian pulpit is drawing his money under faLe pretenses. We bait- all taken oath to teach the deity of Christ and the infalli bility oi Gocfl Word, and for that we recede position and compensa tion. SECOND The Presbyterian Church commits a folly when she becomes a meal ticket fur faddists and place-hunters who constantly devise -cheme and plans and or ganizations to increase their power, patronage and patrimony. They live and work exclusively that they may subsist upon such efforts. THIRD The Presbyterian Church commits a fofTy when she permits her enemies to begin to build machinery and centralize her government. thereby detracting irom her power. I don't believe Presbyterians will -ubmit to centralized power nor to dictation by agents and machines. They crushed that kind of power once. I hope they will crush it again. It must be crushed in gov erniue.its and it must be crushed in the church. Th.- Presbyterian Church should return to the sovereign ty and power and supremacy of her Pres byterian goicrnmeni and to the control by her presbyteries. Hear my plea! Awake, grand old Church of liberty, righteousness and evangelism. ' & UNCLE JOHN .' - MK AU WiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaW JL MJKJLt J- PHILOSOPHY tiiiiul.
