The crimes and ehoqtings and
rings and pools and syndicates are
not found whore the farmer tolls
under he summer's sun, and the
winters cloud, and why then
should he stand back when black
guards, hlGckmailers and embez-
zlers show their unblushing faces
end scheme new ruscality? The
quiet retiring, long suffering
farmer is wanted in the active
world To aid honest men to put
down raseality and to bring back
once more something of the purity
and sacrednass Of the earlier days
OF our great Republic-Er.

We commend to the consideration
OF our readers some thoughts OF
AdelinesiE. in the Rural New
Yorker, as,to why SO many Of oul
youths are eager to leave the farm
instead of following the calling Of
their fathers and mothers. In the
first place, they are not brought up
to love the country; they are early
accustomed to hear both father and
mother grumble aboutthe hardships
of farm life. Then there is too much
work and too little play for them.
The boy works in the field all day,
and his little opportunity for amuse-
ment in the evening is cut short by
a long range Of "chores" till bed
time; meanwhile the sister has much
