baler cuts quite an important figure in his
business he may be prejudiced in its favor.
but he quotes statistics to show that his
statement is correct. He says: Hay is
the cheapest crop a farmer can raise. One
acre will, in a year like last, produce about
two tons. and at Sc a ton the farmer is
making S12. off of an acre-not a large
amount of money but still large enough
for the amount of labor it requires and the

Most farmers now put up hay with i'm

tedder, loader and fork that in handling
the crop very little hard labor is required

in day, which is about all the labor re-
quired, and all the capital required is in
the aforementioned tools. He can SOW the

Farmers have learned this, and lot more

the principal export from this county is

ADMITTING STATES AND ANNEXING
TERRITORY.

1t has been suggested that If the Senate
should not ratify the Hawaiian annexation
treaty, which requires a two-thirds vote,
annexation may be accomplished by joint
resolution, which would require only ma
jority vote of each house. The suggestion
recalls the fact that the Constitution is
silent in regard to the mode of admitting
new States or annexing or acquiring ter
ritory. The only provision on the subject
is that new States may be admitted by
the Congress into this Union, but no new
State shall be formed or erected within the
jurisdiction of any other State, nor any
State be formed by the junction of two or
more States or parts of States without the
consent of the legislatures of the States
concerned, as we'll as of the Congress" The
trainers of the Constitution did not give
much thought to the future expansion of
the Union. They evidently thought it pos
sible that some new States would be formed
from the unorganized territory in the West,
but they were willing TO leave the manner
of their admission into the Union entirely
to Congress. AS for the annexation or ac-
QUESTION of new territory, no provision
whatever was made, probably because it
was not supposed the question would ever
come up. Yet in less than fifteen years
after the Constitution was adopted we ac
quired by purchase and treaty from France
the vast Louisiana territory. Congress has
never prescribed any fixed method for the
admission OF States, but the almost uni
form practice has been to pass an enabling
act on the petition of Territory. author
izing the people to frame a constitution,
and after its adoption to pass an act adj
hitting the State. The admission of Flor
ida and Texas formed an exception to this
rule, they having been admitted by joint
resolution. In every instance where we
have acquired territory by treaty the
treaty has been ratified by the Senate, as
every treaty must be to give it validity.
But in the case of Florida and Texas there
was no treaty. Spain coded Florida to the
United States after we had practically cap
tured it, and Texas had been an independ-
ent State several years before the United
States annexed it, In these two cases there
was no treaty to be ratified. and the work
of admission or annexation was done by
joint action Of the two houses of Congress.
Texas was quite as anxious for annexation
as Hawaii is, and the movement hung
fire. several years. In her case the joint
resolution, adopted by the House Jan. %,
1916, declared that Congress doth consent
that the territory properly included within
and rightfully belonging to the Republic of
Texas may be created into a new State. to

Had l been born royalist a thousand
years ago and been educated in Europe or
Asia L should probably have agreed with

OF politics from all institutions and places

ant classes; but, having been but recently

Americans can consistently exclude politics
from our common education.
Were / a great and ambitious man, pos

or a great country, to bend it's people to
my will and profit, what could better aid
me in such wish than trained ignorance
on the part of the people, such ignorance as
would hide my base plots and motives, so
etfectually, perhaps as to render me a
or country?
1t seems to me that the liberty or freedom
for which republic stands demands that
political instruction should be given to all
men from youth up, in all institutions or
places where people gather together for
mutual enlightenment or education.
Whence the evil spirit that has whispered
against enlightened citizenship of our coun-
try, and induced our civil and religious in
structors to so zealously oppose the intro

many of the young men fresh from college
could be safely trusted as public instruc-
tors on political economy, as editors, lee
turerS and preachers?
Had politics been a part of our common
education no man could go into office upon
his personality in our time. Magnetism,
money and local interests would have been
subordinated to great issues, and the gen.

THE IMPORTANT ISSUE AGAIN.

There can be little doubt that the Demo-
cratic managers in the central West and
South will make the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States, indie
pendent of any other government, the issue
next year. They do so because they hope
to win with such an issue. If a presidential
election were at hand, it may be that hey
would not be SO positive in deciding to fight
the cause Of the silver-mine owners. These
managers count upon two or three elements
to assist their silver issue The chief of
these is Republican apathy and the reaction
which comes to a victorious party two
years after electng President. In connec-
ton with this apathy they count upon more
or less dissatisfaction, chiefly among those
who are usually active in campaigns. The
Democratic managers count so much upon
Republican apathy and dissatisfa elton that
they would lose all hope if it should be
taken from them. After the campaign of
1896 and the campaigns in Iowa. Maryland
and Ohio this year, these leaders do not
count much in making converts from those
who voted against Bryan in 1896, out they
do count upon their apathy and a conse-
1t is not necessary to say that no issue
can be so important to the American people.
Even the raising of the issue again will
tend to destroy confidence as it did during
the summer and fall of 1896. The question
involved is always full of danger and the
discussion of 1t will always produce more
or less uneasiness if not of alarm. More
over, it is a question which involves the
interests of every man because it is, so far
as the advocates of the free coinage of
silver are concerned, a proposition to change
from gold, the money basis of the real ma
tions of the world. to silver, the money basis
of China, India and Mexico--to double by
coinage the market value of silver bullion,
the production of which can be doubled and
the quantity of which is so great that its
price has rapidly fallen the past ten years.
Such change means panic indeed advo-
Gates of the change have confessed that
such would be the immediate result. 1t
means that the dollars in which all salaries
and wages are paid shall lose much of the
purchase power which the present dollar
has.
There cannot be more important issue.
The tariff is not to be compared with it. All
questions which irritate, like the civil-serv-
ice, federal patronage, postoffices. are not
even trifles compared with the momentous
issues involved in a change from a gold to
a silver basis. Such change involves the
upheaval of all values, of Accommodations, of
daily wages and traffic.
AS the reckless Democratic leaders are
determined to make this the issue and to
devote their energies to forcing free silver
upon the country, the friends of sound mon
ey and all those who desire the general pros
perity of the country above party success
should forget every other issue in politics
to fight the disaster which the independent
free coinage of silver involves.

DR.. r. II. Johnson, of Brunswick, Ga,
a colored man, has an article in the Medical
Record in which he says that the race to
which he belongs is suffering from physical
degeneracy. His figures from nearly three
hundred towns show that the death rate of
the colored people is double that of whites
in the same communities and that the
birth rate is smaller. He declares that the
day of the stalwart negro is passing, If not
already gone. DIR. Johnson attributes this
degeneracy to carelessness and want of
forethought. The physical superiority of
the black man during the days of slavery
was due to the fact that the master regard
ed him as property and looked carefully
after his health. Against the views of DR..
Johnson appears the report of the surgeon
general of the United States army, who
says that great improvement has taken
place during the past few years in the sam
itary condition of the colored troops, which
improvement has been more rapid than
among white troops. the colored troops
showing a smaller death rate. If DR.. John
son should extend his investigation to
Northern towns in which there are many
negroes he might be less respondent than
he appears to be.
