and means at his command. lie can
get the largest amount of Immediately
practical information in the least time
by taking one of the shorter courses.
He can secure longer training and a
scientific foundation, together with
fuller practical information, through
the Middle Course. or he can obtain a
broad, liberal and thorough training
through the Long and the Graduate
Courses. By reason of the association
of these especially agricultural courses
with large university, he can secure
literary and scientific schooling of al.
most any degree and kind.
While thus providing amply for the
schooling of the farmer-youth, the
system gives exceptionally large at.
tention to the development of agricul.
tural science, which is the great cor.
ner-stone of the whole system, and 70
the education of those to whom the
days of schooling, in the ordinary
sense, are passed.
The work of the college is exeep-
tionally specialized. All literary and
purely scientific, non-agricultural
work is by other and appropriate de-
partments of the University, freeing
the agricultural department of this la
Dor and rendering it wholly Ggricut-
turdL.
The attention of farmers, and of
citizens generally, is invited to this
comprehensive scheme of agricultural
education, and their cooperation is in
vited In extending a knowledge of its
merits and in securing to themselves
the benefits it offers.

THE natural aversion of democrats
to anything looking to the control of
elections is coming out strong in OppO-
sitiOn to the election bill now pending
in congress. All that is contemplated
by the bill is fair elections in all parts
of the United States. We believe that
no one has the audacity to claim that
elections in the south are in any man
ner fair or equal. 1t is not claimed
that nearly all of the votes are cast, or
that those cast are fairly counted.
This condition in the south is a nation
al scandal and disgrace. The south
has been made solid for democracy by
fraud, intimidation and murder, and
without which the democracy could
not hope for success at the polls. The
charge that the bill is sectional is mere
bluff. 1t will apply to the evil wherever
it exists. The evil is sectional, forsooth,
but the remedy is universal so far as
this government is concerned. 1t has
been repeatedly stated that the republi-
can party would not deserve to be per-
petuated if it did not remedy this evil
when the opportunity occurred. Let
us hope that false modesty will not de-
ter congress from making law which
will throw protection around the bal
lot box and permit every citizen, black
or white, north or south, to cast bal
lot according to his own free will, and
will see that such ballot is counted as
cast
