They whose hearts are whole and strong.
Loving holiness,
Living clean from soil of wrong,
Wearing truths white dress
They unto no far-off height
YEARLY need climb;
Heaven to them is close IN sight
From these shores of time.
Only the anOinted eye

Clean of wave, and tint OF sky
Heavenly blossomings.
To the hearts where light has birth
Nothing can be drear
Budding through the bloom OF earth,
Heaven is always near.

PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT.


Ii is authoritatively stated that
the precautions taken to protect the
President from harm during his re-
cent trip to st. Louis included, in ad-
dition to the L. S. troops acting as
escort, 1923 guards and secret serv-
ice men. 1t seems deplorable, indeed,
that in this country, where freedom
is our watchword, and where our
chief magistrate is the choice OF the
people, that such precautions should
be necessary; and yet the people OF
this country, from sad experience
know that they are, and they hearth
ly approve Of such expenditures OF
public money as are made necessary
for the protection OF their chief exec
utive on such occasions. The de-
plorable fact in connection with such
affairs is that anarchy has pervaded
our shores to the extent that when
the President desires or is invited TO
visit any section ofthe great country
over which he presides he must be
hedged about by guards, secret serv-
ice men and soldiery for his prOtec-
ton. OF course there are cranks and
insane persons in every country to
be guarded against; We expect these
TO he present everywhere, but in a
country like ours, where the greatest
amount OF freedom and liberty is the
right OF every man so long as he does
not trespass upon the rights OF
Others, it is strange indeed that
those creatures who oppose all gov
eminent should have ever found
Judgment therein. Ii is perhaps the
very freedom which they enjoy here
which has given them footing in this
country. If they had been suppress.
ed in their speech, and arrested and
punished wherever they were found
sowing their nefarious doctrines, we
would probably be rid OF them. 1t is
carrying the doctrine Of liberty too
far to allow any man to preach
against law and order, and all such
persons should be arrested and dealt
with severely.

THE FARMER AND WHAT he
PRODUCES.

The report OF the Secretary OF Agrl
culture. recently transmitted 80 the
President. contains some startling
figures as to the value of crops pro
duced by the farmers OF the country.
and causes us to wonder why 1t Il
that the farmers are not mi,lionalres,
or to reach she cOnclusiontha other
persons are getting Immensely rich
from the farmers labor.
The corn crop OF 1904, he states
yields a greater farm value than ever
before, end the proceeds from this
single crop would pay the National
debt, the interest thereOn for one
wear and considerable portion OF
the Government yearly expenses.
The hay and wheat crop combined
are about equal in value to the corr
crop, and the cotton crop Is only
slightly behind is. Horses and mules
raised and in hand during the year
are valued at one thousand, three
hundred and fitsy-fOur million dol
lars, while the farmers hens are said
TO have laid one and twO-third bill
lions of dozen eggs. The Secretary
estimates the value OF all farm crops
for 1904, exclusive of those fed &c
live stock, at four thousand and nine
hundred million, or nearly five billion
dollars. Some interesting compari-
sons follow, in which the Secretary
saws "the farmers of this country
have produced in two years wealth
exceeding the output Of all the COLO
mines OF the entire world since Colum-
bus discovered America. This year,
produce is over six times the amount
OF capital stock OF all the National
banks, - and is three times the
gross earnings from the operations
of the railways"
This is substantial evidence that
the farmer is the backbone OF the
country, and produces more wealth
than any other industrial class, and
in view OF the fact that he saves for
himself such small proportion Of
the great wealth he produces, be is
the most liberal class and the great
est benefsctOr of mankind in the
land.
