Mr. Elmore contributes the following
satire on the kissing bug:
This Is freak as We have found.
While walking in the park,
That ladies pass their kisses round
When 1t is growing dark.
This bug has plenty of cologne,
And smells like foaming beer:
He feels himself so much at home
When on a ladys ear.
Now, ladies. you should guard your mouth,
AS you have had some tips
Or this vagrant viii break in your house
And kiss your rosy lips
In his new book Mr.. Elmore writes most
touchingly Of The Frog" He says:
1.-THE frog sits on the old mill dam
And catches bugs and flies,
And when he hears noise at hand
He just leaps in and dives.
You can see his kicking legs,
AT which you're sure 10 gaze,
And see the moving Of the dregs
In little, cfrcIing waves.
And when he reaches the other shore
You'll hear him haloo again:
II may be like some distant roar,
OF like the heating lamb 8"

What do you think of 1t? l asked.
That it is a string of glittering general
tiles which are not true in fact and which
can not be realized in practice. Even the
constitution should be revised, because we
have outgrown it. The days of the town
meeting style of government are almost
over The conditions of hundred years
ago have ceased to exist. And 1t is GER
tain that some change must come.
Do you mean n revolution? l asked.
Well, call it that, he rejoined. What is
the use in mincing words. Call a spade a
spade. 1t is as well first as last to be
plain spoken. The country is ripe for a
change, and you can net deny that thugs
are irreparably wrong under our present
system. See, for instance, our million
aires and their millions seeking refuge in
Europe because America is not country
where gentleman can live, See our cities
paralyzed by strikes, and business ruined
Tn some trivial pretext by the unions. See
our thrifty citizens robbed by taxation that
is dictated by voters who never pay taxes.

that they ruined the Eastern Roman en-
pire and that they are destroying the
French republic. Then see how helpless
the reformers are. The conservative forces
in the country. the business interests, the
bankers interests, the manufacturers in
terests, all the trusts and all the railroads
and other great servants of the public are
united in favor of change that will place
the better classes on the top, and present
our government no longer under the form

The disclosures recently Of mismanage-
ment and OF outrages In number OF

than the exceptions.

The vote is four to one for the ira
ditional American policy OF non-in-
reference and expansion in the
Western hemisphere II anywhere.
There is no installing the great
significance of this notable canvass
of opinion among the farmers. In
the Northern States this class has
formed the backbone of the repub-
lican party. 1t has stood little
apart from the interests and ambi-
tions which have been shaping the
course of the administration, and
its attitude has been in doubt.
There IS no reason to question the
representative character of the vote
taken, and in that case the great
majority of the farmers of the Ma
ton are not fevorabiy disposed to-
ward the administration career of
conquest, But if Mr.. Mckinley can
not look for hearty support in that
quarter where is he to find 1t? The
German Americans who largely
voted for him in 1896 are nearly
unanimous In opposing his present
course. Organized labor is against
it. Many of the native business and
manufacturing republicans of the
cities are against it. Where are
the votes which are to carry i'm
perialism in triumph over Ameri-
canism? We must evidently look up
to the syndicates to find them.

for Women at Hudson. New York; in the
state institution for Feeble Minded Chill
dren at Syracuse and even in a ward at
Bellevue for the insane, the most shocking
revelations have recently been made.
Across in Trenton, New Jersey. ut the
girls industrial home outrageous. almost
inhuman, conduct was cody admitted by
the matron to the governor and the latter
passed 1t off with smilel
From Hartford, Conn, comes, as the
New York Herald says, "a horrible mar
rative' about the temporary home for
children-unsanitary conditions. lack OF
food and medical attendance, and the
choking. beating and claiming UP of mere
Infants!
1t Is impossible in the space OF an edi-
torial to give the array of CHASTITY facts
which have been published in full in the
Eastern papers, but they lead the New
York Herald to exclaim in contemplating
them:
Has brutality suddenly become epidemic?
No: il is certain that these terrible abuses
are OF long standing. but are only now be-
ing brought to view. The searchisht OF IN
yesttgatiOn must be thrown INTO tNcTy uuTh
nook and Granny of these institutions. Res
ignation or removal of the guilty is not
enough. The sworn evidence should be laid
before the grand iurles that indictments may
be found and exemplary punishment visited
upon those who have wreaked their brutality
uron feeble and helpless beings whom thoy
are paid to care for and protect.
This Is an ugly record to come from
the North where so many vigorous dia-
tribes are heard against brutality" and
the oppression" of the weak and igno-
rant. II there is brutality in the South
1t is generally of the open and fearless
kind and we have yet to make such start
ling discoveries as ,hese In the East!
Still such revelations as these in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut where
the utmost confidence was reposed in
boards and in superintendents, should in
spre the governors of all the States,
whose appointees these ruling powers at
the State institutions are. usually, to keep
a close, even If secret, watch upon the
States great public charities and see to it
that all of them are at least humaneiy
managed. A policy of thisekind, generally
adopted, might result in startling revela-
lions at times when least expected.

straw vote of unusual extent and
significance has bcenstaken by Farm
and Home of this city among the
farmers of the United States on the
question OF Americanism against I'M
6erialism. Some 10000 legal voters
exnress their views. They are To-
Gated in all sections and belong to all
classes of political opinion, though
IL is safe to say that the large ma
jority are republicans. They must
thus be considered as fairly repre-
sentative of the great agricultural
class. Most of the postal card bal
lots were mailed to Farm and Home
in May and June. when the Philip
pine situation appeared to be far
less serious than has since developed,
and no effort had been made in the
columns OF the paper to influence the
vote either way.
What, then, was the attitude OF
farmers In May and June respecting
the course of the administration?
Here is one of the questions and the
vote upon 1t by sections: Should the
Filipinos be held in subsection to
the United States, or should they be
allowed to form an independent
government?

WHERE THE FARMERS STAND
Significant Canvass of the Agricultural Glasses of the
United States on the Subject of Expansion

1919 replied In favor OF independence.
against 1862 in favor of annexation.
The majority in every section is pro-
nounced for the fulfilment of the
Nations pledge, upon which 1t went
to war, but which has apparently
been forgotten by those in charge OF
our Cuban policy. AS Porto Rico
seems to be willing to be annexed
majority favor annexation In that
case, but a very large majority
would make the island a territory
within the United States, rather than
colony without, II annexation is to
stand.
The most significant vote Of all Is
that on the question: in general,
should the United States adhere to
or depart from its former policy OF
interference with nations beyond
either ocean," This seems to have
presented the issue OF Americanism
versus Imperialism more clearly to
many farmers than the Philippine
question, and brought an even more
overwhelming verdict. The vote by
sections:
