THE FARMER AND TRUSTS.
Rockford Register.l

Rockford ReElStef.l
In these days of almost universal
combination of business interests, we
note just two lines left out in the cold
the farm and the church. Each of these
is jogging along at the same old gait,
going it alone in the old competitive
way. while meeting the power of COM
bined interests at every point The
farmer today, is rocked to sleep as a
baby, in a cradle made by trust: he,
like enough. is raised on bottle made
by trust. He goes to work later on,
in trust made wamus. overalls shoes
and hat. He plows with a trust plow,
seeds with a trust seeder. drags them
with trust drag, cultivates his corn
with trust cultivator, harvests his
crop with a trust harvester thrashes
1T with a trust thrasher hauls his crop
to market on a trust wagon, has his
load weighed on a trust scales and sells
to a representative of the grain dealers
trust. He loads up in town with load
of trust lumber or coal, buys some trust
sugar and beef and tobacco, aud goes
home to sleep In trust bed. When
he dies he is buried in a trust coffin,
after being treated by a trust doctor
and laid out by trust undertaken.
About the only thing IN his whole career
not controlled by trust being the
funeral sermon by the denominated
parson, he, alone with the deceased
still. fights his way thru life free of
any religious trust. This state of
affairs should operate to turn the
granger's thoughts toward religion
when he finds that the trusts are too
many for him.

RATIFICATION IS ACCOMPLISHED.

The country will be relieved today
by the announcement of the passage
yesterday, in the senate. of the Panama
canal treaty. The ratification was
; made without change and without
practical opposition. Senator Morgan
made his last speech in opposition, the
various amendments and substitutes
we're voted down and the grave and
reverend senator's did what they might
lutte as we'll have done weeks ago.
Voted seventy-three to five to ratify the
sreaty. The vote marked the end of a
long and wearisome struggle that has
exasperated and taxed the patience of
The country at large.
While the delay in the senate over
lhis important public measure has
aroused popular Impotence, as such
lelays invariably do, there is danger
IN rules whereby majorities may rush
legislation and force measures with ra-
pidity and ease over the opposition of
! respectable minority. 1t is likely that
the right to unlimited debate has killed
! multitude of bad bills where it has
prevented the adoption of one good law.
Few public measures which have be-
hind them the determined support of
the people fail to crystalize in law.
Ereat measures need entire discussion.
Delay and debate attract public at
kention and scrutiny as well as arouse
public impatience. They bring out ia
4al weaknesses, If such exist. and ac-
eentuate the stronger points Of pro-
posed measures. It may be better to
adhere to method, however exasper-
nting, than adopt one SO totally dis
similar as to open a door for hurried
adoption of unwise legislation.
Senator's Allison and Plat, two Of the
oldest and most conservative MEM
beers Of the senate, favor a modification
Of rules which will expedite the bust
ness of that body. That there should
be limitation of debate sufficient to
shut off filibusters like Senator Morgan,
Is an evident demand. but in making
khis modification the rights OF the
minority should be carefully consid-
hreil

FARM HANDS SCARCE.


The farmers of this section of the
northwest are said to be up against
a real hard problem in the question OF
procuring help foir the work of the
farm this year. During the first half
of March the farmers are accustomed
to engage their help for the season
but wages of from $50 to $25 per month
with board, laundry, and private horse
and buggy, is a poor inducement for a
man to go to the rural regions to work
this spring.
one of the things which has conduced
largely to the general scarcity of help
on the farm is the fact that the far
mers' boys are leaving in large num-
bers for the city to live.
Joe Ayres, of Sioux City, who is an
authority upon agricultural subjects,
attributes the general rush of country
boys to the cities to the introduction
of the telephone, the daily newspaper
and other conveniences which
advanced civilization affords 10 the res
ident of rural communities.
The country boys get taste of
city life" said Mr.. Ayres, and they
want more of it. They become restless
and dissatisfied at home, and the first
thing you know they've got a job in the
city. Many farmers have sent their
sons to the agricultural colleges, only
to have the youngster go into other
business. when they have finished their
course.
The scarcity of the farmers own
boys has made a heavier demand for
the farm hard, but the majority of the
men who work as laborers, prefer to

again. The average laborer would
rather set up pins in Il bowling alley
at barely enough money to keep alive
than TO go 10 the country, where he
aill have an opportunity to live Well
and save some money. The allure
ments OF the city seem to please him.
The average farm wage in this sec
ton is So per month from March 1
to December /. After that only about
$40 Per month is paid because there
is nothing to do but the chores. Board
and incidentals are included. Young
men of good habits are treated as mem
bers of the family, and there are hun
,lreds of cases where farm hands are
fortunate enough to marry into the
family IL they conduct themselves prop
erly. Where farm hands used 20 go
into the field at and 5 O'clock in the
morning, they do not go now until q,
They take an hour a noon, and leave
the field at oi'clock in the evening.
That's about as good as they can do In
the city
1t is said that the season for the far
mers will be late this year. The
ground was wet when fall set in, and
now thousands of acres are hidden by
water.
The farmers are expecting good
year, nevertheless, Mr.. Ayres contin-
ued. There will be more hogs this
year than last year. The losses We're
quite heavy during the past year from
cholera. The prospect is quite good
this year. There is also a good stock
of cattle to start with. The sheep in
dustry is growing, and more farmers
are raising up to 100 head. The roul-
try business is growing more popular.
know a number of farmers families
which by the sale of eggs and butter
alone kept up the table all last year.
They sold butter for an average price
OF % cents a pound and eggs at an
average of Is cents a dozen In most
cases these commodities were traded
for articles that were needed"

The Kentucky farm where Abraham

The accumulative process is too slow
He looks for the situation that pays
most at the outset and passes by the
humber job that grows into mana

wholesale house are double or treble
the salary of the youngest clerk. The
porter remains porter. The clerk may

Before every young man of every

ON HIRED GIRLS.

williamsburg Journal TribuTe.l
The sharp demand for farm help
and the dilligent search, now being
made by many, for hired girls, all tell
their own story. A few years ago
men in the cities We're scarce hence
the migration from farm to city; the
same was true as to female help, city
wages We're tempting and the glare
and glamour of the town had the
same effect on the country that a
street lamp has on the moths Of sum-
mer time. With this movement came
the decay of the love for domestic
work for which the rural districts
once We're famed; the good old art of
housekeeping is perishing from the
earth, girls would now rather work In
a store or Office than to shine as
mistress of a kitchen wherein the
divine art of cooking should hold
sway. There is now more Importance
attached to embroidering dolly,
the working of a billy-goat on rug
or an Indian on sofa pillow than
there is to the broiling of steak or
the baking of loaf; and still Presi-
dent Roosevelt wonders at the in
crease OF bachelors.
