The American Farmer.
The Oldest Agricultural Paper in
America.
Published at 1929 New York
Avenue. Washington, D. c.
Price. only 80 Cents a Year.

THE AMERICAN FARMER is o great Ma
tioual agricultural paper. It circulates in
every part of the country, and represents the
| interests of all the farmers in the Nation.
Being located at the seat of Government
and the only agricultural paper that is
it has special facilities for getting informal
ton of real interest to all farmers of all that
goes on affecting them in Congress, or in
| any of the Departments of the Government
This will be of particular importance to all
farmers this Winter, when there will be o
prolonged and bitter struggle in Congress
over the policy of protecting farm products.
THE AMERICAN FARMER is on the side of
the farmers, and bitterly hostile to the an
nounced program of placing wool on the
free list aud reducing the duties on other
agricultural products. 1t denounces this as
making the farmers bear the greatest part of
the weight of the alleged tariff reform, and
protests against this sacrifice of the farmers
In favor of other interests. Every one who
favors justice and right to farmers and
not political buncombe, should rally to
its support and give it the utmost strength
by doing what they can to extend its circula-
ton.
Now is the time to do this, before Con-
gress takes up the wool and farming products
schedules.
The paper is large eight-page quarto,
printed in large type, on fine white paper,
and plentifully illustrated. 1t is filled with
matter of great practical interest to all
farmers.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will be sent
with The american Farmer for one year for
$l.25. Present subscribers to THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE can have The american Farmer
for one year by sending % cents additional.

WHAT a mans elemies cannot do to ruin
him, he usually does himself. Nothing that
the enemies of ex-Queen Lii said against her
hurt her Que -hundredth part as much as the
words out of her own mouth. The idea of
the depraved old mongrel insisting on being
allowed 10 behead hundreds of highly-in-
telligent and respectable white men, and
confiscate their pro- erty, because they were
opposed to her making the beautiful Ha-
waiian Islands a sink of in,quity! 1t makes
one shudder to think of what the people
must have endured under her before being
goaiied into revolution.

THE only evidence that the President has
to support his reiterated assertions that
American sailors and marines assisted to
dethrone the Queen, is the statement of the
discr.dited Blount. Against this is an over
wbelning mass of evidence by our naval
officers, and everybody cognizant of the mat
ter that the Americans were only landed
long after the revolution was an ac-
complished fact, and that they attended
strictly to their legitimate duty Of protecting
the lives and property of American citizens.

Teaching the Children.

was asked of one of the greatest of instructors.
He hesitated as he answered, because, as he ex-
planned, There has yet been devised 10 per-
feet method for that great end: the end fathers
and mothers most think upon. But" be
added, what i think / would do would be
this: / would get pictures of the greatest his
torical events and of the greatest historical

ture short, simple description telling what it
ali meant and the bearing Of the thing on his
tory. ! would have the pictures good ones SO
that the ebild's artistic sense should be uncon-
ciously developed while facts were learned,
and would SO make the youth Of either sex
familiar with what bad happened and where it
occurred. l would make the great buildings of
the world, and those famous because of what
had happened in them, or of those who had lived
in them, as familiar to the child as could be the
nearest neighbours house. So | would make
children developing into manhood or woman
hoed--without hard study or conscious effort,
but merely by interesting them with something
striking-better learned than are many who

THE TIMES is CANDID

We want to give tho Times credit
for its editorial on the LaMuurc en-
pulslon matter. It, accepts the
logic of the situation. randidly and
fally. lie says 1.-The l,.ic of the en-
pulsion is just what The EXPRESS
finds it to he, namely: That all re.
pub'i;ans who voted for Benton,
Roach and other democrats are trai
tors to their party AID deserve the
punishment injected "ui for the crime
OF high TREASON" "a political party
eau be compared toa le,dy of soldiers.
These soldiers are c#i ,:rd in a Ger.
tain cause and are G,lims l..t.Ic for
certain truths. For una uf that army
to desert and join the enemy ON the
eve OF battle would lie considered rs
an act Of rank treas Ii and subject
thc person to the pcnai!v nf death"
New that is precisely what the state
Committee acting as "nurt martial
did. They found Mr.. l.aMourc AND
OTHERS guilty of high treason strip
ped them OF their insignia of Office

as We said from Mr.. lIagcr's stand

follower of Alex. Mel; ruzic, aud his
personal feeling against Mr.. La

gers editorial is candle! and logical.
But, does Mr.. IIagar go the full
length of This logic? n,cS he accept
the position in which Ills places the
very members of the court martial?
DacS he realize and accept the fact
that MIR. EIansbrough. Mr.. Mckenzie,
aud even Mr.. lIagcr himself, are
equally guilty Of dcserllon of some
one Or another of republican candi-
dates at one time Or ;lHuthcr: Is Mr..

for Il democrat? Aud has lie any
idea of the vacuum that would lie
created in any plrty's ranks if this
doctrine were carried out.
But Mr.. lIagcr is wrong, in one way.
AS he says, the committee found that
