tain. Such discomfort Is hcalthful when 1t does
moi lend 10 lawIessness and revolution The
farmers are not to be blamed for trying to bet
fer their condition; quite the contrary We
are all trying to do that. But they are far too
sensible to suppose that they can better their
condition by pulling down the whole social
fabric To do so would be as foolish as to
plough ip field Of corn because few hills
failed to attain the average growth OF the field.
DO farmers of the present day realize the hard
conditions which the old pioneer farmers had
TO face? In 1887 there appeared tale OF
early pioneer life in Illinois, entitled "Zury.
by the late Major Joseph Kirkland, OF Chicago.
From literary and artistic point OF view the
book deserves high praise. But Its greatest
merit is the fact that 1t gives lifelke picture
of the hardships which the enrly Western farm
ers were obliged to endure, and which, by their
grit and tcnacity, they triumphantly 0vercalne.
'Zury Prouder began life with nothing except
heavily mortgaged. unilnproved farm IN inc
midst Of q wilderness. But he worked as rev
men, whether farmers or business men nova
days know how to work. No matter how niue
money he made he always made 1t point 10

II. Markets were few. and transportation was
slow and expensive. TO develop farm under
such circumstances and make II pay made
necessary life OF constant drudgcry that IS
almost inconcevabe to-day. But 'Zury set
himself TO the task with all the vim and vigor
OF his nature There were no POpullsts TO tell
him that he was a victim of the money power.
and if any such had come to him he would have
kicked them Off the farm. For he was deter
mined some day to become money power MIN
self. and did so eventually in spite OF the diffi-
cnlties that he encountered. 1t Is true that in
reachlng the goal Of his ambition he developed
some unlovey traits Of character. and, on ac-
count Of his unrcenting hardness in money
matters. he came 10 be known as THE meanest
man In Spring County.
The point we wish TO emphasize here, now
ever. Is not the evolution of 'Zurys character,
but the fact that he was able to succeed as a
farmer under conditions far less favorable than
any that confront the poorest Western farmer
no-day. The modern farmer has his ups and
downs like everybody else But. however great
may be his hardshps. his life is luxurious com
pared with that Of the brave and sturdy men

no memorial Of him is preserved in the land. No

his bloodthirsty cruelty il commemorated in a CO.

charged to arrest, for the life Of the officer was
undoubtedly in danger and he might have been
killed himself by the gang which endeavorcd
