But now it seems that the pendulum
has turned and is beginning to swing

raRETFRs' INSTITUTES

Reporfs from portions OF the stale
,.-I,era farmers. Institutes have thus far
baen held indicate a far greater inter
est IN these meetings than has been
manifest In the past. Not only is the
attendance better, but the farmers at
tending show a far more intelligent IN
terest in the subjects discussed than
heretofore.
This is the farmers institute season.
The work of 1905 Is over, barring posi-
bly, the gathering Of a portion Of the
corn crop, and the farmers are plan
ming and preparing for 1906. They are
not so busy now but what they can al
ford time to attend such gatherings as
these institutes now and then, and the
long winter evenings afford them an
opportunity to study over the ideas
suggested Therefore the agricultural
instructors at Manhattan are busy now
going from place to place in the state
addressing farmers institutes.
The farmers institute IS already a
force in the agricultural life Of the
/ country, and 1t is bound to become more
and more so. It certainly is good
thing for the farmers of any communi-
I ty to come together once or twice a
year to hear discussed advanced ideas
and the results of scientific investiga-
/ ton of things agricultural by men who
make such things a study. The expert
ences of the farmers themselves throw
considerable light on subjects from
a practical standpoint. and the ex-
! change of ideas is helpful all around.
/ Then. too. these discussions arouse the
mental faculties Of the farmer and he
studies his work in a new light.
A few years ago the great majority Of
/ farmers scofed at the idea of science
having anything to do with farming.
! They despised book farming and re-
+ fused 10 listen to the experts from ag-
/ riculturaI colleges. But that day has
past. There are still far too many
farmers Of the old class, but they are
/ rapidly learning the new ideas. The re-
cent corn gospel" train that Travelled
over the Rock Island lines in Kansas
did much to allay the prejudice Of the
old farmers against scientific ideas. and
each year farmers are coming more and
more to farm with their head instead
of with their hands alone. Muscles are
essential in doing farm work. but
brains are also a good thing to direct
/ them

a pIvTsIoN II THE 1870.

Not many days ago comment was
made in these columns concerning the
allegation Of John Sharpe Williams, the
gifted Democratic leader IN the lover
house Of congress. that President
Roosevelt is simply following the Demo-
Gratis IN his advocacy of rate regula-
ton; and incidentally the suggestion
was made that Mr.. Williams claim TO
leadership might be well founded-that
the president is following him in the
matter Of rate regulation Just as the
engine follows the COVE catcher.
But now comes that old and esteemed
bulwark Of Democracy, the Philadelphia
Record. and repudiates the COW catcher
idea It attacks the rate regulation
programme as "socialistic'' and tays:
The advocates OF state socialism and
Capitalization have their leader. without
going further, In the president Of the
United States. whose latest message
amply reveals that he regards concen-
tration Of the powers Of the federal
government as the only cure for every
real or imaginary social and political
evil."
The Record further denounces this as
unDemocratic and goes back to the days
Of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton to prove 1t. It does not act
ually quote the late Mr.. Jefferson as
making a speech against rate regulation
by the government. but it leaves the I'M
misfakable impression that Jefferson
would have made that sort Of speech
had opportunity been afforded
Il must be somewhat painful for
Democracy to be so divided on this pro
position. Mr.. Williams and few other
leaders insist on riding on the cow
catcher; others are content with riding
In the vanished cars; but the staid old
Record and its adherents sadly stand on
the depot platform and shake their
heads. refusing to ride on any train
going in that direction. particularly
when Republican president has MS
hand on the throttle. Still. 1t is likely
that some of them will catch on to the
caboose as 1t comes by, and they VIII
come in later by freight.
