The Auto on the Farm.

Some day, in the not very distant flu
ture, the automobile will be found on
many farms the country over, and the
farmers will rank near the top in the
classification Of callings using the motor
car in practical way. This is at least
the opinion Of John Carson Of Chicago,
banker, and president Of an automobile
club, who has given much time to the
study Of the automobile and its posi-
bilities.
So many difficulties have been over
come, in the work Of developing the au-
tomobile, that it is entirely reasonable
to suppose that still greater ones can
be overcome, and it is by no means an
impossibiity that the agricultural ma
chinery manufacturers may In time per
feet an auto-reaper' or electro
binder or some such hyphenated con-
trivance. Already the motor is driving
big freight trucks thru the streets Of
Minneapolis, and while the application
of locomotive power to machinery in

sorts Of ground and all cond itions Of

Saturday E evening.

smooth roads or paved streets, there is.
atill no reason to doubt that this will
one day be brought about.
Then we shall see the farmer driving
his auto-plow, or whatever it may be
around the field, and it will not be more
wonderful than was the operation Of the
binder and mower when first these ma
chimes came upon the market.
This opens up a wide field for specular
tion as to the advantages Of light autos
for use on the farm, and for running
into town and back. and it suggests
consideration Of the effect Of such In
creased use Of the auto upon the horse,
and the business of horse raising.
Before any Of this can come about,
however, the auto must be cheapened.
There is room for almost illimitable ex~
pansion in the business Of manufacture
ing automobiles, but many fields must
remain barred, until serviceable ma
chine can be put upon the market for
less money than it now costs.

Who GorkY Is.

Ale1ei Maximovitch Pyeshkof is the
family name Of the Russian author,
Maxim Gorky, who was arrested in con-
nection with the revolutionary move
ment at st. Petersburg on Sunday two
weeks ago. He is Of the school Of
realistic writer's and has accumulated
the material Of his novels by extensive
wanderings over his native country as
q tramp. The varied scenes Of his
vagabond life among the lowest class Of
the population have furnished him with
the material for his subsequent literary
work. It is everywhere tinged with
the note of pessimism, as might well be
the case with Russian sincerely con-
cerned for the future of his country and
his people.
Whether his arrest shall result in his
deportation to Siberia is among the mys
teries Of the present situation in St.
Petersburg. The grand dukes have nc
use for literary men, especially those
who dare to speak for the people as
Gorky has done.

bate. When the president wished TO
put some measure thru the house. he had
only to secure the cooperation OF the
committee on rules. But when 1t came
to the senate, every member had to be
considered satisfied.
The senate has thus, from q CO.
ordinate branch Of the legislature, adj
vanced to the position Of keystone Of
the government. This might have been
not SO bad had the senate maintained
its ancient standing. But the senate
has grown to q body Of ninety members;
its character gradually changed by ac-
creations from new, raw states and by
the subtle change of its personnel.
From a great body Of statesmen It has
swelled to q large body Of special agents
Of commercial and industrial lnstltu-
tions. The railroads, the sugar and oil
trusts, the bloated benefciaries Of the
tariff today have a majority OF the SEN
ate.
They are enabled to maintain this
ownership mainly thru the method
|of electing senators by legisla'
lures. The senate rules do the
rest. It is only by herculean
efforts that the people in any
state can elect reform senator. It is
only by methods akin to revolution that
they can blow trust-ridden senator out
of his intrenchments.
Their has grown up demand for the
J direct election of senators on the prin
ciple that if they are the representative
of sovereign people, let the sovereign
people elect them. The allied Interests
that now control the upper house cal
be relied upon to fight this reform to tn
LAST ditch.
It is reform which means much. I
is the first step toward bringing the sen
ate into a proper subsection to the OK
pressed will Of the people. But i
can be brought about only by a deman,
from three-fourths Of the states askin,
for constitutional amendment. If tn
people understand their stake in tn
character Of the United States senat
they will make that call.

degree to them, but that evil was i'm
measurably increased by years Of care
less cultivation Of the soil, and chiefly
in utterly ignoring natures law Of ''the
survival Of the fttest" by culpable neg
lect to select none but the finest quail
ity grains for seed.
In the eighties No. hard was the
contract grade; in the nineties No hard
had become so scarce that No. northern
was made the contract grade; in the
succeeding decade No. 1 northern has be- i,
come so rare that for the past three
years there has been increasing agita-
ton by large section of prominent
grain men to have No. 2 northern sub
stituted as the contract grade.
Thus has the quality of spring wheat
been deteriorated and by reason Of lower
vitality became a ready prey to the at
tack of black rust.
Mr.. Nelson has qua1ms as to What eff
feet the dumping of the offa1 on the do
mestfc market would have on the value
Of oats and barley" He should know
that the best grades of barley are always
IN demand for mailing purposes. and
that the market price Of inferior barley
! and oats is governed by the price of
corn, these three kinds OF grain when
mixed being converted into ground
feed" But wheat offal, consisting of
bran, shorts, ETC., is termed mill feed"
These two kinds Of feed possess such
| separate and distinct economic values as
foodstuffs that, practically, they are non
| competitive
Thru increasing demand In recent
years the price of all feed has risen over
400 per cent, therefore, as to the effect
on prices Of this prospective dumping"
any Of the army of dairymen, teamsters
| and stockowners could reassure Mr..
| Nelson.
Every farmer must know that the
| worlds ultimate wheat market is Liver
pool, and that the price of wheat in
every part Of this and every other ex
porting country Except at milling CEN
/ ters) is the price made in Liverpool. less
freight, ETC., to that port, by the compe-
tition Of wheat from all quarters Of the
globe with our export surplus.
i Even spectators and corner manip-
ulators have to base their calculations
on the Liverpool price, -
:, When farmers learn to view these in
disputable facts from personal instead
Of partizan standpoint; when they
cease to confuse politics with political
! economy, to their great pecuniary loss,
then, and not until then, will they under
stand that, when the price of wheat
rises above the export market price. the
increase Is caused by temporary and alb
normal conditions; also that such prices
cannot continue without reaction upon
our agricultural prosperity. g Il
Il Should we have a succession of poor
! or rusted crops, which seems probable
from past experience, the superior Cana
dian grain will inevitably supplant our
exports Of wheat and flour.
This would be calamitous to, and a
permanent reflection upon the business
;. qualifications of the American farmer.

The Senate Is the Boss.

The rules of the United States senate
do not provide for closure Of debate. |
No measure can pass that body until
each senator has had the opportunity to |
debate it to his heart 8 content. It is |
thus within the power of small minori-
ty or one senator to block legislation
almost indefinitely. Examples of this
are common in the annals Of the senate.
The theory upon which such power is
vested in single-handed senator is that
each member represents in himself the
sovereignty. Of a state and that until
that sovereignty is satisfied proceedings
should not proceed. Some efforts have
been made to change the rules Of the
senate, notably the campaign of Mr..
Mason q few years ago for closure. He
accomplished merely his own extinction
from politics. The theory of sover-
eighty and the traditions Of the senate
were too strong for him.
Similarly in the house until Reeds
time the minority by means Of the rules
could hold up an important measure in
definitely. This was accomplished
usually by tedious speeches on every
thing but the question Of the hour, to be
followed by dilatory motions, involving
tedious rollcalls which wore out the
members. When every other form of
obstruction was exhausted, the minority
would flee to the cloakrooms and en-
deavor to leave the house without quo
rum. These tactics when successful ne
| cessitated a call Of the house and more
tedious waiting.
When Thomas B. Reed became speak
er, he announced that he would count as
part of the quorum those members
were present. There was at once a ter
rible outcry from the minority, but the
speaker stood firm, and his ideas of par
liamentary law were eventually incorpo-
rated in the rules Of the house. In a
succeeding congress when the democrats
had majority, and elected Judge
Crisp Of Georgia speaker, the Reed
rules were abandoned. The house i'm
mediately fell into anarchy, and the
democrats were forced to restore them.
! This was the end Of the flibusterer.

house as a legislative body declined UNI

came more machine for registering

The Demand for Gold.

changing our position sufficiently to
cause rise in money rates. Never
theless, an outward movement Of gold,
in appreciable quantity, is not good
