THE FARMER OF TODAY.

The farmer is more favored by the
advance of science and by govern
mental action than any other in
diyidual today. The progressive
agrlculturist is more and more the
leading factor in the country's devel-
opment and upbuilding as the seasons
go by. More investigation has been
undertaken by the government in bis
behalf. and more successful expert
ments have been made in the effort to
improve his condition, both mental
and physical, than for any other bust
ness or profession. The government
has been kind to the farmer and has
helped him not only in raising his prod
uct but in finding markets for it.
BY the improvement Of highways,

THE REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

Many of the republican editors of
the state were in council yesterday,
considering topics relating to their
interests as publishers and to the well
fare of the party. With many of
them were their wives, who, no doubt,
are in large measure responsible for
the gratifying progress which repub-
Iican journalism has made in Indiana
the past twenty years. These repub-
lican editors and publishers are class
Of men who rarely receive credit for
the work they are constantly doing for
state, county, town and their party.
Their duty to their party is to proclaim
the party principles anc polity. Do
ing this day after day or week after
week, they constitute the most poten-
tial influence in the party with that
very large portion of the party and of
the people who read and think.
Other workers come into the fight as
election approaches, but the editor is
on the firing line year out and year in.
The orator may enthuse the smaller
portion of the party voters during the
few weeks preceding an election, but
the editor breaches the party faith
and fights the party battle to the tens
of thousands of voters every week in
the year. The republican editors

of the land, needs not the orator nor

flict. The man who takes and pays
for his local republican paper is never
enrolled in the list headed doubtful"
when the canvaSSer makes up his roll.
Generally the party editor in the
country is in touch with the more in
telligent men Of the party. Conse-
quently his views, reflected from the
intelligence of the party, are the
wisest and most patriotic. In 1896,
when the great battle for sound cur
rency was fought in Indiana, it had
been practically won by the republic
can editors before the campaign orat-
ors and the makers of campaign liter
allure had reached the battlefield. AS
a whole, the republican editorial judg-
ment of the state as to party policy is
safer than sometimes seems TO prevail
in Washington, for the reason that it
is the intuitive opinion of the reading
and thinking element of the party
And yet the party editor is often
much-abused man because he does not
make every mans fight his own or
does not support men in whom he has
no confidence. 1t may be added that
the influence of the party editor will
increase with the broader reading
constituency that is coming to the
party paper. 1t is this influence which
has made Indiana a republican state as
much as any other instrumentality.
If men of character and ability are put
in nomination the wide-awake republic
can paper will be very sure to bring to
their support that large, but silent. ele

attention during campaigns, but which
can be counted on for the support

Progress IN the South.

The south is evidently ceasing to be
an exclusively agricultural community.
but is acquiring diversified industries.
with the new modes Of thinking that
such change implies. New ways of
looking at things are always evolved
by contact with new interests. and
new policies prevail. New ideas of
banks and thanking, of money and of
standards OF value, are likely to de-
velop when more money is handled and
local examples abound. Already the
orator begins to lose his pre-eminence
in public life. The lawyer takes on
new varieties in the state legislatures,
the corporation lawyer helping to curb
the fisry zeal of the rustic attorney.
The cotton mill owner. the mine own
err, the iron maker, the lumberman,
and the banker and broker find their
way more frequently than formerly
to the "halls OF legislation" an to
state offices. The ''horny- handed
farmer" still predominates to the pub
lie advantage, but he gets new ideas
from rubbing up against the represent
atives CT new interests. Thus more
conservative views are taken of public
questions. Discuss on mOditieS Opin-
ions, and rash decisions are avoided.
Progress is, therefore, the striking
feature in the south at present, in pub
lie life as we'll as in Industrial affairs
