GOOD Governments.

The Christian Endeavor society
has given much attention to the
subject of good citizenship. This is
an important question at the present
time in all lands, and particularly in
our own. It is very desirable that
the young people in the church shall
have clear ideas of the needs of the
times and of their duties in supplying
those needs. The Christian part of
the community should make more
decided impression in the political
affairs of the nation and municipal
ity. Corrupt methods and measures
are shamelessly pushed and evil is
alarmingly aggressive. The only
hope of the times lies in awakening
the Christian conscience and arous-
ing to action those who desire the
rights of all rather than personal
gam and greed.
Some time should be given in
every chapter to study of the
duties of citizenship. Oar young
people of both sexes should know
more of the machinery of govern
ment. Get some man in public life
to give an evenings talk explaining
the mode of conducting elections.
the way the city and town are gov
ernod, the manner Of assessing aud
collecting taxes, the different de-
partments of public service and the
scope and limits of their work.
1t is a good thing also to have
clearly set forth the use and abuse
of the party in politics, the "ma-
chine"-the difference between con-
tracts and 'jobs. " Another need
is to discriminate between legiti-
mate criticism of men and their
public deeds and partisan fault
finding for the sake of public gain.

AGRICULTURAL COLUMN

AGRICULTURAL COLUM N
MIR. EDITOR,
Dear Sir; Farmers seem to disagree
in my section of Pike County in re-
gard to the law concerning estray
stock. Some say that if you find
some of disagreeable neighbor's
stock "raising cain" with your
crops, you should drive the erring
stock over to said neighbor and claim
damages. Others say that you
should retain the stock until dam
ages are paid. Now as both ways
can not be right, we are interested
to know which way is. If you
would kindly reply to this in the
good PREss, doubtless you would al
so oblige others of your numerous
readers, besides the undersigned.
| should like to know the best course
to pursue, both when it is not known
to whom the stock belongs and also
when the identity of the stock own
er is known. We suppose that some
lawyers might consider a reply to
this hurtful to their business but
you do not seem to belong to that
class of attorneys that we farmers
can get nothing more out of than
''hcw do you do, before they see
the eamonnt of our ready cash Also
what course should be pursued when
the owner refuses to pay just dam
ages for crops injured?
Very truly yours,
A WEsTFLL FARMER
do farmers expect that lawyers
should give advice free gratis for
nothing? Or answer legal questions
without compensation? Lawyers are
obliged to spend years of hard study
and expend hundreds of dollars for
books in order to fit themselves for
their profession, and enable them to
answer legal propositions Do farm
ers dump bushels of potatoes, pounds
of butter, or dozens of eggs, on their
porches, good fellows though they
are, at the bare hint that they are
short of these necessities? Don't
the farmer want the ready cash for
his products from the lawyeras well
as from any body else? Are the two
cases in any wise different? The
lawyer sells the product Of his brain
and the farmer the result of his toll.
Both are commodities having a
money value to those in need of
them. However, in reply generally
to the above questions, we may say
the act of 1889 repealed the first Sec
tion of the act of 1700 and now own
ers of cattle are required to fence
them in, or be answerable for their
trespasses. An owner in order to
prevent recovery for damages done
by his cattle must show that he kept
his cattle in, or tried to, by a suffic-
cient fence. fla person discovers ON
his inclosed land, stray cattle, and
the owner is not known, he may
take proper steps to have them adver-
tised and sold. The general prin-
ciple is that the common law in re-
gard to cattle now prevails, and the
owner is required to take care of
them or pay damages for their tres
passes. If the owner of stock re-
fuses to pay damages, sue him. We
do not uude rstand however that any
one has the right to shut up cattle
found on his lands, if the owner is
known, and retain them until the
damage is paid. The damage is the
same as any other debt which must
be sued for and recovered.

FiFTY-CENT

The Financial Record has dropped
upon a stubborn fact. 1t says:
The price of wheat IS bound 10 have
an immense influence upon business
conditions. 1t is. we believe, fair to
say that with wheat at IS cents III

point of Production. only about so
cents per bushel. which in turn does
not represent ordinarily so cents per
day for the labor put INTO it. Fifty
cent wheat, therefore, means so cent
labor, AMI portends a proportionate
valuation on all other thing that rep
resent labor. Therefore, from this
time OH, the market course OF wheat
should be carefully watched as a
guide
We trust that the Chicago Tribune,
the Globe Democrat and the Portland
Oregonian will not keep still under
a shown like that. Col. Bryan will
soon have his uniform off and will b.
in a position to be questioned about
the relations between the price of sill
yer and the price of wheat. Last
spring when the Letter deal vas on
all those journals importuned Mr..
Bryan daily to explain why his theory
had broken down. When a farmer in
the Mississippi valley sells wheat At
so cents per bushel, he does not real
ize 50 cents per day for his labor. He
does not clear as much as does the
poor and despIstd Mexican. who works
for IS cents per day in Mexican
money. The proof OF that is that the
Mexican does pretty we'll, while the
American farmer has not made a CEN

REVERENCE FOR VALOR.
To be continued.

Let this be our anniversary of rev.
erence- reverence for fortitude, patri-
otism, liberty, union, for the supreme
surrender of home happiness, life
and love which those who died in
these wars endured. They had faith.
They died for their faith. No higher
tribute can fall upon their graves.
With them, for us at least, there is no
death, no departure, no separation.
These honored dead are with us as
when We cheered the resolute column
which went sweeping to the wars.
They will pass in review before the
shades of their mighty captains as
they did in the old days. What they
did is our own. Their achievements
are our heritage. Their valor is our
pride Their example is a legacy be-
yond that of ransoms or principali-
ties. The one tribute we can pay
them is in the generation with which
We approach their graves. And from
this yeneration let us likewise take
and cherish that noblest lesson of pa
triotism for which they gave their
lives.-John Russell Young.

As il floats through the valleys SO

An the hills with glad echoes are

Rolling back in an anthem of glory
Bold melodies wave after wave,
And they tell TO all nations the story
How Columbia doth honor her
brave.
Garlands. fresh garlands are blending
All their tints with the Red. White
and Blue.
And the sky, in the glow OF the sun
light
Sends back from above every hue
All nature is decked with adornings-
The faireSt that God ever gave;
And she joins with nation TO honor
With her splendors the graves of
the brave.
Veterans are marching with banners,
Shoulder 10 shoulder they tread
Up the long streets that are leading
To the beautiful homes of the dead
Sadly they step 10 the music
And their faces are sober and

WE KEEP MEMORIAL DAY.

When the May has culled her flowers
for the summer waiting long,
Ana the breath of early roses woos
the hedges into song,
Comes the throb of martial music and
the banners in the street,
And the marching of the millions
bearing garlands fair and sweet
It's the Sabbath of the Nation, It's
the floral feast of May!
In remembrance of our heroes
We keep Memorial Day.
They are sleeping in the valleys, they
are sleeping meath the sea,
They are sleeping by the thousands
till the royal reveille;
Maidens, fair maidens and matrons
And the children-God bless them,
are there
With the fathers and sons and the
brothers,
And the choicest of offerings they
bear.
Orations, grand eloquence breathing,
With the chants of dead and the
grave.
Rise up in an incense of glory
Der the last resting place of the
brave.
Land of the free, on thy honor,
Keep sacred this day in thy trust,
Remember the deeds of thy heroes,
Forget not where slumbers their
dust.
Bring garlands. fresh garlands in
spring time
And stravv than with tears Ger the
graves
The blessings of God will rest ever
On the land that is worthy her
braves.
