FARMING THATPAYS.

That immortal Englishman, Burke,
wrote a most readable treatise on the
subject Of farming, to which another
added: "This is magnificent, but it is
not farming, and you Will easily be-
lieve that Burke's attempts at farming
were more costly than productive.
Farming, if it is to pay, is a pursuit
OF small economies, and Burke was far
too Asiatic, tropical and splendid to do
with small economies. His expendi-
ture, like his rhetoric was in the grand
style.
"Small economies" admirably sum
up the whole success Of farming, and
this doesn't mean that the farme r
should be stiugy, but 1t does mean as far
as possible to pay cash, to utilize the
working hour, to buy best implements,
to keep fat horses, to use good seed, to
have warm shelters, TO provide big
wood piles, to be ready when the sea

The New York Mail closes quite a
caustic lecture to the Southern people
with these words: "The first business
Of the South after the election is look

can not revise the opinion it is alleged
to hold Of him."
The truth is that the South just can't
issue a revised edition Of Theodore
Roosevelt. He must do that himself,
and when he does the South will care

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AT THE EX-
POSITION,

In common with the liberty-loving
people Of this Union Of States, we re-
joice that the President attended the
St Louis exposition, and returned to
his official home unframed.
During the delivery Of one of his
most important addresses he quoted
freely from his illustrious predecessors,
and then added:
"Those were the words OF Lincoln in
1864, and l feel that any man who
even tries to be fitto be President Of the
United States should approach his du-
ties in that spirit; that any man worthy
OF serving the people, not merely in
that position. but In any position Of
weight in public life, should have that
sense Of elatiOn that anything person
al in his triumph does not lessen the
sense Of infinite responsibility thereby
cast upon him, and the weight OF duty
he owes to all his fellOw-citizens, and
he should realize that whatever the diff
ferences among our people before cleo
ton, once the election has taken place,
the President is the President Of all the
people Of every section socially, Of
every section industrially, OF all the
people Of the North or South, East or
West and that he is bound, again TO
quote the language Of Abraham Lin
coin, with malice toward none, with
charity toward all, seeking after the
light as God has given him to see the
hight to strive so to conduct himself
toward all Of them and toward his
manifold duties as those duties arise,
then the results Of his efforts may be
for the good Of our common country"
These are words we'll chosen and well
spoken. All we of the South ask is
that he shall be president Of every
section socially" This-H Of far more
to us than that he should
be president of every section industri-
ally" and now that we have his word
we are going to rely upon it comfort
ably and with confidence.
An unusual number OF soldiers,
national and local, guarded the person
Of the President while he was in the
great city and crowded upon by great
-hrOngs, and the necessity Of this old
world custom we very much regret.
The first man Of the Nation should be
IS safe in the hands Of his fellow
as is the humblest. The
