THE FARMERS STATE CONVEN

The F1AhMEhS' STATE CONVENTION.
The Minnesota farmers held their con-
vention in the State House at St. Paul,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
March 19, 10 and 20.
The address of welcome was made by
Gov. Hubbard, after which a committee
on permanent organization was selected,
of which Hon. John Frank, of Mower
county, was a member.
They reported the name of S. A. Adams
of Wright county, for President, and
among others, the name of J. j. Fur
long, of Mower county, for Vice-Presi-
dent.
The principal topics discussed were the
system of grading wheat, the methods of
conducting the elevators, and railroad
freight charges.
In the evening Vice-President Furlong
presided, when the discussion turned on
third party movement in the interests of
the farmer.
The second days session opened wi tn
Viee-President Furlong in the char.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
advocating the passage of the bill now
pending in Congress for opening up
the agricultural lands of the Red Lake
Indian reservations in northern Mime
sofa. Also another resolution that it was
the sense of the convention that the sub
ject of corporate taxation should be care
fully investigated, so that all railroad
properties should be equitably assessed.
In the afternoon, Prof. Whitney, of
Michigan, gave an interesting address.
He stated the four great sources of raw
materials were mines, 1921, 900, 900, fshe-
ries, $43,000,000, lumber, 1888, 900, 600,
farming $9,913,ooo,0oo.
In Minnesota the farms were valued at
$259, 100000 Theirproducts $50, 600, 000
Manufacturing, $32,O00,0OO. Certainly
the farmers have rights.
Among the numerous resolutions adopt
ed was one insisting that our representa-
tives in Congress use their influence to
have the present existing tariff reduced as
low as possible consistent with the support
Of thegovernment.
Thursday morning the names of the
committee of rs to carry on the farmers
campaign, five from each congressional
district, were reported and ratified. J. J.
Furlong, Austin, Mower county, secre-
tary of committee. The name Of Hon.
John Frank, Leroy, occurs as member
and secretary of the first congressio nal
district committee.
The convention considered the subject
of free passes, wheat grading and eleva-
tors, and looked little after the custom

SENATOR SABIN.

We deem it to be due to the eminently
successful record of Senator Sabin in the
political affairs of our state, as we'll as to
his conspicuous position as Chairman of
the National Republican Central Com.
mittee, that he be chosen to head the
Minnesota delegation to the Chicago con
vention. Minnesota, if she would play
an influential part in the deliberations OF
the convention, should not fail to avail
herself of the prestige of Senator Sabin.
The delegates from Mower should give
their united and urgent support to Sena
tor Sabin as Chairman of the Minnesota

DEFEAT OF THE BONDED WHIsKEY

March 81, the whisky bond bill, so long
pending and so desperately fought for by
the parties interested, was overwhelming
ly defeated in the House Of Representa-
tives by the surprising majority Of 100.
The bill involved the payment of $780,
600, 900 tax upon whisky in store. 1t Is a
victory scored by the temperance senti-
ment of the country. Its defeat was Sc
cured mainly through southern votes,
where the temperance feeling, strange to
relate, is more pronounced than in the
intelligent, moral and frugal north. The
most pointed speeches in opposition to
the bill were made by southern men,
especially by the members from Alabama.
Plymouth Rock and Fanuel Hall will
have have to look out for their laurels

Some Hints on Female Education in Con-
nection with Interests of the Dairy.


Somebody has said that this nineteenth
century will go down in history as the age
of female emancipation. Emancipation
is broad fair sounding word, admitting
of divers applications, if it can lie made
versal liberation of woman from the
bonds of ignorance, that were indeed
"A consummatiOn,
Devoutly to be wished"
That the world is moving in the matter
of female education, none will deny. That
something is felt to have been lacking in
the past is evident; that strenuous efforts
are now being put forth to supplythat lack,
is equally plain. In addition to the great
ly enlarged opportunities now afforded
by public schools, we have female semi
nar1es and women's colleges colleges fer
co-education, opening wide their hospita-
bic doors with impartial hand and even
our most venerable conservative institu-
tons, compromising with the spirit of the
times, by providing "Annexes" into which
woman finds welcome admittance, and
where she may enjoy ample advantages
of instruction. Practically, no woman in
these days is debarred from any field of
knowledge she may desire to enter, save
by the limitations of her own ability. OF
tAC StuuCAGS AO" CAAOAAOu IA AAAACIA-
can colleges, at least one sixth are
females. .....
AS the outcome of these broadened ia
cilities, we have large and most useful
army Of female teachers, q have female
Professors of Arts and Sciences, female
physicians, lawyers, lecturers, editors and
authors. In all these lines of labor, they
are acquitting themselves, at least with
average responsibility, while some have
conquered success in no stinted measure.
But it is not in any or all of these d.
rections, that the thoughtful observer
will look for the highest results of female
education. The homes of any people are
the opponents Of their civilization. What
ever other stations or occupations woman
may fill, home is her kingdom, where she
| wears her rightful crown. To be the
heart and center of well ordered home,
is the henored sphere for which she was
created; in comparison with which all
other positions are empty and unsatisfy-
ing. She was heavens last best gift to
man" to this end that she might human
ize his savage instincts, soften his asperi-
| ties. refine his roughnesses, and heighten
all his joys, by the hallowed influences of
home.
Just here, there is felt by many to be a
weak point in our present methods of ed
ucation, as tested by their fruits. The
arts of home making, home thrift, heme
comfort, home industries and home nice
