EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks of 1t, but Relies on the
Strength of Ia IN many.
Judge Parker says this

Judge Parker says this:
NV henever Il great question of public
Importance has arisen. it has been pre-
sented and championed through the press
and on the rOstrunl by the educated
thinkers of the country, who. for the
time being. are the real leaders. and
under whose banners the organiZat ton
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be ovcrthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
is true and right and sensible. But
what. after the expression of such an
opinion. is Judge Parker'S course: 1t is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af-
fairs Of the country. But what is Judge
Parker doing! Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State of New York: one OF the States,
the influence of whose electoral votes is
great in the results OF the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon au mn-Amer-
lean combination known as Tammany
Hall. 1t is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid OF this most cor
rupt organiza ton, in the greatest city
of the country-an organization that has
simply become an enormous tester upon
| the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all exiyencies, by the
Democratic party, which. to the credit Of
that party. is a little above Tammany.
How ridiculous. under the c:rc,im-
stances. is the attitude of the more or
less qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
pus: Think Of man who even talks
of the influence Of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success. in the
State OF New York, upon Il conglomera-
ton of the most uneducatetl and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making Of a political pool in a great
| city. 1t is hard to say it. but Mr. Park
er cannot even afford to be respertabl"
in his explanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
| educated influence back of him. or about
all that is good and broad and cult
waited back Of him because. without
Tammany back Of him in his own State.
| he has not the shadow OF ii, hope. and
Taulmany is the worst force there is
politically--a discrcdit to the country.

Value of Good Seed.

The writer spent many years in Min
nesota and the Dakotas in the grain
business and made special study of
grain production. We were always
convinced that crops were more the re-
suit of poor farming and poor seed
than climatic conditions. The manner
of farming has materially changed
and at the present time the quality of
seeds requires more attention than any
time in the history of the country. !.
We recommend that farmers give
this matter attention in their own way
to secure a good quality seed and
thus aid in securing a better yield of
better quality. This is simply bust
ness proposition and should not be
delayed. The present seed in many
localities is poor quality. They should
dispose of this by exchanging itafor
sound, plump seed free from smut
germ. The difference in value in
quality was presented forcibly this
year.
In every locality some farmers have
better quality of seed than others.
Do not let the best seed leave the
country and then be obliged to use the
poorer quality for seed. Secure a
cleaning mill, you can purchase one
for $500 that will thoroughly clean
your seed, then treat your seed with a
solution to destroy smut germ, that
will not cost to exceed two cents per
acre and with good sound, plump seed,
we'll cleaned and treated, on we'll titled
ground, and the result is increased
production, and of better quality.
In securing seed from distance if
there is no desirable seed in YOUR
locality, always secure seed produced
north of your locality it will for a
period of atleast three years produce
better results. Any elevator or grain
man will tell you how to treat your
seed to destroy smut germs, and now
is the time to exchange seed and have
it carefully prepared and ready. Your
land is becoming more valuable, good
productions will further increase it's
value. You have reputation to sus-
tain and you cannot do it without ex-
ercising care, and using good Seed

And saplings planted here and there
About the yard, and boxed with care

Around the rolling pastures spread, /
With;Woodland patches garlanded,
From which the breezes gladly bore 4

And from their covert in the vale i.
In plaintive pleading piped the quail.
With baskets and with pals equipped,

Athwart the pastures, down the road,
They trudged to learning's poor
abode:
The pink sunbonnet, broad-brimmed

The bare brown feet that knew no law
OF fashions last; the bundled forms
That laughed aloud at cold and
storms.
What tales the SCARED desks might re-

Of triumphs gained with book and

What lore the clapboards loose posses
Of feats at noontime and recess!
And doomed how oft the panes to see,
Back up the road, and DER the lea,
Haste boy and girl, new worlds to

Railway Accidents.

Granting that there is a greater
mileage of railroad in this coun-
try, the proportionate travel is
prof. Ably greater in England than
here. What, then, is the explana-
ton of the fewer fatal accidents.
or, rather, the almost total lack of
accidents in that country as com
pared with the frightful mortality
on our American roads? The ex-
act solution is probably not easy,
but the most natural explanation
that will come to mind is that the
British roads are better managed
and that they are held to a much
stricter accountability by the au-
thorities. Another reason also is
the total absence of all grade
crossings in England and the uni
versal employment of the best of
safety devices and signals, the
block signal system being practic-
ally universal.-N. o. Picayune.
