A Farmers GrOwl.

aA Odsdh
The general ignorance Of agriculture shown
oy third and fourth class politicians is one OF
the more hopeful signs Of the times. A signal
instance occurs in The Voice, an ultra temper
ance sheet, with which the mail was flooded by
whoever it may concern, just before the cleo
ton. In passing, it may be we'll to say that
farmers are pretty woll touehened to free
documents. They are minded in a general way
as snow-dakes and rain-drops are. But this
New York Voice, as an especial sop to agricult-
ure, undertook TO advocate. in its crusade
against city saloons. fermeuted food for cattle.
Now be it known to the Voice that the farmer.
pure and simple, may endure saloons, fermented
fodder and even this voice occasionally. because
he can't help himself. He doesn't fret about ac-
ciderts foreign 10 his business. He may ample
the goods offered in his city market, fermented
or other. but he is as little likely to put his
farm stock upon an exclusive diet of fermented
food to make 'buter ten cents a pound" and
milk one cent n quart as to put his family on
a fermen,ed dietary for the same purpose. He
never was-barring scattering experiments-and
never can be that kind Of a man.

man and a leading member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South. Blair from the North
and Colquitt from the South are Senators who
have a good deal in common.
Alfred Holt Colquitt was born in Walton

Representatives aud the Senate at Washington.
He was educated at Princeton College, where he
was graduated in 1914. A year afterwards he
began the practice Of the law at Macon, Ga. He

elector on the Breckinridee and Lane

federate army, and rose to the rank OF brigadier-
general. At the close of the war he entered the
insurance business. His appointments in 1865
and 1870 as delegate to the national Democratic

An Appeal to Arbitration.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2I-The North Chicago Roll
ing-mill Company has given notice of Is or 20
per cent. reduction in the wages OF its employees
in the blast furnace at South Chicago. It is
understood that the men have taken O decided
stand against the reduction, and have placed the
matter in the hands of the executive board Of
their national organization. Several stormy IN
terviews have occurred between Mr.. E. c.. Pot
ter. vice-president of the company. and the ex-
ecutive board. The interviews eventually re-
suited in the two sides agresine to place the
matter in the hands Of q board Of arbitration

upon both employers and men. The arbitrators
have not as yet been selected, but it is under
stood that Mayor Roche will be asked to act as
