Why Boys Leave the Farm

To the advice ofPre-ident Jesse
of the Missouri State Unive1 sity
that boys study agriculture, O..
P. Stur1n, editor of the Saline
county, Mo-, Index replies with
approval of the suggestion, but
doubts if it will be extensively
followed by farm boys who have
a chance to get a liberal educa-
ton. Editor Sturm is of the opin-
ion that the reason why boys
leaves the farm is that they i'm
agine themselves socially at a
disadvantage as compared with
the soft-handed, faircheeked city
youths they chance to meet in
the parlor of their lady friends
on Sunday evenings. They fancy
that, like Maud Muller, their
country sweetheart prefer the
young men of the city and would
like some other life than that of
the farm. Even in college, Mr..
Sturm says, the young women
seldom turn their smiles and ap-
prevail toward the farmer boys
in preference to the law student,
the civil engineer or the medical
student. What influence, he asks,
could be more potent?

There is a measure of truth IN
this explanation, but also an adj
mixture of error. The country
bows who amounts to much is at
no real advantage IN competing
with a rival from the city for the
love of a sensible girl from either
city or country. He may not al
ways win but his chances are
good and in most cases a little
better than those of the city
youth. He is more vigorous ar
dent and jealous wooer; is prone
to over estimate the Importance
of the small talk" the compli-
ments and polite attention of his
rival and for that reason often
rushes at the citadel of the favor
tie young lady's affections and
carries it by storm while his
dainty city-bred competitor is
dallying with doubts and play
ing the part of an earnest triher.
Young women admire manliness
character, brains and energy;
and nowhere is this truer than
in the college and univer1ties
where characters and ability are
the standards by which all are
Judged and boys from the farm
get the best that is going.
Young persons OF both sexes
who have not the good sense to
look beneath the surface to the
true element of manhood and
womanhood are often carried
away by appearances; and stylish
clothes and softness of hands or
tongue may count more with
such persons than the weightier
considerations of solid worth,
bit this is simply a phase of all
human nature and not a trait
peculiar to rural life AS a rule,
like seeks like in marriage, and
the elective affinity of character
for character is not neutralized
by trifing causes.
We are in a transition period
on this subject. The vocation of
farmers is rising in character and
Importance. 1t is respected and
honored by all men and women
of discriminating judgement. 1t
also gains in zeal attractiveness
as country life gains, through the
telephone the roural mail delivery
the trolly line, improvement OF
roads, better methods of farming
and the building of better farm
homes the attractiveness Of life
in the city. generation hence
will see country lille esteemed
more highly than life in the city
and if the country-bred young
man shall ask for an advantage
over his city rival in his quest Of
a wife it will certainly be his.
But in our judgement the
young man from the country can
to day give his rival in courtship
odds and beat him in nine cases
out Of ten The Tenderness OF
young people to seek the city OF
leaving the city to return to ma,
ture, are grounds in deeper prin-
! cipals Of human nature than
those brought to light in the by
play Of social life. They are
largely of an economic character
but there are many other elem
ents entirely into the problem

that with you folks down to
Madison, and now | guess our
town don't get a ternal cent OF
our boat tax. and we have to
paw all the taxes ourselves tor
making our schools and roads
and things.
l am writing you now, Bobby,
to tell you a plan to do big
thingfo for us farmers and get your
self out of this political hole
and all of us onto your tax re-
form band wagon. IF you only
do as I say you'll get there as
slick as grease and as plump as
a goose egg in a loafer's face.
Now what you've got to do,
Bobby, is just to promise to get
this marine tax law applied to
our farms and farmin' things, and
let us pay three cents a net ton
in place of all other taxes just as
you fixed for steam boats and all
other vessels on the water. Three
cents on a net toni That's what
we want. There is no use for us
farmers to pay such big taxes to
run the government as we now
have to when the "devils rich"
only pay three cents net ton.
If we farmers are a part OF Gods
patient poor" Bobby, give us a
slice OF three cents a ton and
we'll vote for you like smoke!
Ny old lumber wagon is good to
carry a ton yet-tax her three
cents! At first sight it may seem
difficult to apply your met ton"
ideal to farmers property, cause
there is lots of things don't carry
any thing and there amt no met
tons" to fgger on. But it is all
just as easy as tunblin' off log
if you will tax us for the net ton
produce we grow on our farms.
Now the met tons on the farm
is what we have left after we get
our Twin out. If we grow ten
tons of hay and our stock eats
nine tons of it our tax would be
three cents on one met ton" 1t
we grow five tons Of grain and
its all consumed on thetarm there
isn't any met tom and we don't
have a cent to pay.
And, Bobby, yov promise to let
us register our met tons with
you folks down to Madison and
paw our little three cents to you
just as the boat fellows do and
then we will have chance to
hely you when you need the chink
for your fight against the rail
roads, insurance companies and
other corporations.
Now, dear Bobby, let yoar war
cry be three cents net ton for
all farm taxes and you'll get
there with two feet and a straw
hat on, and we'll all love you
just as cat loves soft soup!

AN OPEN LETTER
To the Governor From a Door CouH-
tY Farmer.

The following letter was sent
to Gov. LaFollette by a Door
county farmer and was published
in the Sturgeon Bay Advocate.
It makes excellent reading and
we reproduce it:
DEAR BOBBY:
There are lot of fellers in this

less there is something done about
it you will be the under dog in
the fight here sure. My sympa-
thies always goes to the under

fight, and | am feeling for you,
Bobby, right smart. | am some
like my old neighbor Abe when
he sent his boys to hoeing corn.
He told them to pull up the big
stalks and give the little fellers q
chance! Your political cornfleld
is full of big stalks, Bobby, and
some weeds o chokln' things aw-
full. After all you've done for us
with your mouth) we farmers
ought to help vote you into Of.
fee again.
Now, right here in our town
there are some fellers sayits agin
you cause you approved that
marine tax bill and made it law,
and that it is millyun miles
from bein the tax reform you're
howlin' about. And it does seem
as if it favored somebody besides
Goods patient poor" that you
tell OF, if you look at it the way
them fellers do.
The other day had to stop on
the drawbridge across Sturgeon
Bay while two boats went
through. One side was the lit
tie fish tug Annie d. and on the
other side was the Bonita that
is owned by your uncle Ike over
to Marinette. And the little tug
is worth about four thousand
dollars and the Bonita cost about
forty thousand. The tax on the
Bonita is one dollar and forty
seven cents, and the tax on the
Annie D. is about the same. On
board the Bonita were women,
and girls and boys with nice
faces and hands and they looked
as sweet as new blown roses.
And on the fish tug were men
with rough clothes and grimmy
hands and the whole outfit was
awful smelly! Probably the men
were some of Gods patient

to pay nearly as much on his lit

ers have to pay m ore than a hun

value in our farms. Right here
in our own town before you
signed that marine tax bill and
made it law we used to get three
hundred and fifty dollars tax

Lowell frequently asserted that true New
Yorker would live north Of Fourteenth-str and
he made his own abode in Washington Square
the most desirable spot in town. Lowell was
OF the family of the poet, and so not a New
Yorker himself of course But no one knows
better than the New Englander how little New
England is appreciated by its own inhabitants.
So perhaps, Lowell felt he had very good right
to speak for Neyv-York being an alien. At any
rate he never went into the residence wilder
ness Of the great upper West Side without greet
ing IT, curve Of the Broadway Cartracks at
Fourtecnth-st. as marking the portal of Home,
and he came to believe that something more
than chance lay behind the fact that almost all
his intimate friends. the people he loved to be
with, lived as he did, south Of Union Square.
There were the artists in Macdougal Alley, the
R family On the north side Of Washington
Square whose door bell was frequently rung by
mistake for the Mayors; the poet in Nlnth-st'
the oasis Of aristocracy and charming women
still blooming in Lafayette Place. the friends
who served tea of an afternoon in grave. quiet
rooms overlooking the avenue and the two
brown churches and talked Of other things than
the theatre and soothed excited nerves, and.
finally, the college colony who so largely occu-
pied the building where Lowell himself lived.
With these people so near him, though the town
reared to the north and south. the east and
west, he was conscious OF a neighborhood feel
ing; he was assured that in this almost isolated
part Of the town home, II anywhere in Man
haitian. was possible. Sometimes. indeed. as he
looked out of his western windows and saw the
sunset burn over the Jersey hills and the lights
fare out in the windows OF his friends home on
the north Of the square. when he strolled up
the avenue and met the familiar faces at even
song he was almost persuaded to call Washing

a suburb OF New-York- It's atmosphere was too
