When President Roosevelt turns from
the trusts and the tariff to the debt of
the nation TO the farmer he gets upon
ground occupied by all intelligent read
/ ers of American history. There may
be room for difference of opinion as to
. effective remedies for monopoly and
as TO what we should do for Cuba. but
when 1t comes to the contribution of
the farmer to our craftsmanship, 10
our scholarship. to our commercial in
tegrity and financial solidity, to the
moral fiber of our citizenship, there can
be no ground for controversy. What
the farmer and the farmers sons are
doing for the preservation of those
ideals that lie at the basis of the re-
public Is not a political issue. That the
Presidents eloquent tribute to the
farmer on the fair grounds at Bangor,
Me-. will not be challenged in the whole
wide republic is no reason why such
tributes should go unspoken. 1t is fit
ting that the Acknowledgements of the
nation to the influence and power Of
the agricultural classes should find pub
lie expression. While the business Of
agriculture has changed along with
other systems of industrial endeavor
the influences which breed the strong
men in finance, commerce and state
craft are still ut work in the country.
Touching this phase Of the country life
the President said: Conditions have
nhon iy, IN 20, ho,
they have changed In the city, and in
consequence there has been little
breaking away from the methods of life
which have produced the great major
ity of the leaders of the republic in
the past. Almost all of our great Pres
idents have been brought up in the
country, and most of them worked
hard on the farms in their youth and
got their early mental training in the
healthy democracy of farm life. The
forces which made these farm-bred
boys leaders of men when they had
come to their full manhood are still at
work in our country districts" Farm
ing has progressed along with other
lines of productive industry. Old meth
DDS have been discarded. Farming
grows more scientific every year There
Is greater diversification of crops, and
farming is no longer the life of monot-
onOus drudgery that 1t was in the ear
lier days of the republic. 1t is the most
Independent and satisfying vocation on
earth, and with the great number of
labor-saving inventions that mechani-
cal genius has contributed to husband
ry 1t is In many respects the most en-
joyable. But the country has not
changed. 1t is the same healthful at
mosphere. the same uplifting environ
ment. And 1t is from the farm that
the republic must continue to draw
most of the strong men in commerce.,
politics and in society.

where they can get at it. Bury filth;
keep garbage in proper receptacles, and

ARTISTIC TIN VASES.

Several women In Germany are now
making beautiful and artistic orna-
ments and household utensils out of
tin Apparently the first to utilize
her talents in this direction was Frau
Clara Hoppenrath, of Berlin. She fash
ioned artistic tin vases, and since then
she has made a beautiful imitation of
n cluster of silver thistles. which has
been bought by the King of Roumania.
Tin is an easy metal to manipulate.
and any woman who is a good artist
will have little difficulty in shaping it
as she desires. The design must first
be carefully drawn on the tin. or rather
punched In it, and then as carefully
cut out. Only few tools are needed
for the work. and the necessary skill
in their use can soon be acquired. AS
decorations for articles of majolica and
wood delicate tin ornaments are now
becoming popular in Germany, and al
most all of them are made by women.

His cabin is one-room affair in the

A department has been established in
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nolOgy to reduce TO an exact science
the prevention of fires. This may be
accomplished, first, by planning the
construction of buildings in such Il
manner as to reduce danger of fire to
Il minimum; second, by devising means
for the rapid extinction OF any blaze
that gains headway. Considering that
the fire waste in the United States has
been increasing for the last five years
in the face of Improvements in the
fire departments and equipment, and
that the loss last year was S1j0.OOOUOO,

President Roosevelt has decided to
recommend that Congress authorize the
Commercial Cable Company to lay Il
cable across the Pacific to the Philip
pines and thence 10 China. According
TO the terms of the provisional agree
ment the government is to reserve the
right to control the cable in time of war
and to buy the franchises and property
of the Gable Company in the Pacific
cable at an appraised valuation, to fix
the rates for messages, and to prescribe
the speed at which messages shall be
transmitted. If Congress approves the
agreement we shall have a semi-private
cable that may become public wher-
ever the government chooses to exer-
else its option.

''In this life, as rule, the job that is
easy to do is not very well worth the
doing" Few more pertinent epigrams
than this have ever been voiced. The
speaker was President Roosevelt,
whose life proves that he has followed
the axiom which he voices. Along these
same lines are the words of George w.
Perkins. who is right hanl man to !.
Pierpont Morgan, and who said recent
ly: TOO many young men in this coun-
try don't want to work hard. They pre-
fer to take things easy-stay up late
at night and lie abed too long in the
morning They never can get ahead in
that way. Times and conditions may
change, but the old rule remains that
there is no success without everlast-
ingly keeping at It," The trouble with
the majority of young men is that they
get the swelled head. They achieve n
little success and then believe they can
neglect their duties and that things
will naturally gravitate their way. The
histories of all successful men prove
that they are persons who have contin-
ued ut work. they watch little things
and big things, and they keep everlast-
