WILSON REPLIES TO BANKS

Editor Times Republican.
The pessinlistic screed of Mr.. Banks
In the T.-R. of February "a brings
to mind that in the fourth Psalm
David cried out, There be many that
say: who will show us any good?,
Possibly the chronic "kickers' are stu
in a majority as Mr.. Banks claims.
Any casual observer will agree with
him. that very few of those most IN
need of agricultural enlightenment
make use of many opportunities al
ready available. So, too, do many vot-
ers fail to keep themselves well in
formed on political matters; and it
is said that in war not one bullet in
a thousand hits living mark. Never
theless the successful general keeps
firing at all ranges, and the shrewd
politician provides stump speakers,
brass bands and special trains If peo-
pie do not heed what they read, it
would seem an unpatriotic use OF
Washington's anniversary to write
letter so destitute of faith or hope.
AS a matter of fact it is likely to
prompt many to so to hear professor
Holden who is, in reality, a very mod
est sort of man, more anxious, as
rule, to acquire than to impart IN
formation, tho in such short talks as
can be given on these gospel trains"
he must necessarily dwell mainly on
the fundamentals. Some may be sur
prised to find him harping on the i'm
portance of perfect stand and the
means of securing 1T. There may be
a few at each station unable to learn
because of an excess of previous
knowledge; but it is safe to say that
nearly all can proftably study this
point under a specialist who, as sup
erintendent of the largest seed soon
establishment in the country, has had
more experience in one year than the
average farmer gets in a life time.
Others misled by Mr.. Banks fulmin-
alton, will be pleased to learn that one
Of Professor Holden's hobbies is urg-
ing a selective development of the best
local varieties of corn. Those who 90
not as matter of habit go off at half
cock many that well bred seen corn
as Professor Holden defines 1t, and the
pure bred" stuff offered by many
dealers are not necessarily the same
thing. Instead of being a promoter
for the dealers, there is no other man
in Iowa so disliked by the firms OF
whom Mr.. Banks and his neighbors
bought that poor seed. They are even
running opposition seed trains, and, IT
they see Mr.. Banks letter, some pap
ers in that section of the state noted
for big reported yields of corn and
notorious for much poor seed shipped
outu are likely to print it as evidence
that Professor Holden is failure.

STAY IN IOWA.

Just at present there is a consider
able movement from the north to the
south, attracted by cheap lands and
the florid advertising of southern i'm
migration bureaus. Especially since
the rigorous winter set in have the

the man with small capital. 1t is a
charming and attractive prospect-in
the prospectus.
The facts are that the glowing pic
lures of wealth and happiness in the
south fade into reality of swamp and
stump lands and worn and washed
hillsides and the dreams of easy mon
ey change into unceasing toll and the
bitterest economy. The poor man in
the south among the woods or on the
deserted cottonfields overgrown with
scrub and covered with a thin coating
Of productive soil, finds his hands tied

sufficient money to purchase large
tracts of the cheap lands, stock them
for grazing or to buy fertilizer, mules
and supplies for cotton plantations to

with the price of a northern half or
full section carry it south to multiply
his cares with, among negroes, upon
a thin soil or in the big woods?
Cheap lands are still plenty. There

had for a song all over the east-but
those who buy them cease to sing soon
after the purchase. There are thou
sands of acres in every state in the
union to be had at nominal sum,
wherein a family would starve to
death with $50 acres.
There are opportunities in the south
as in the north for the man with a lit
tie money, but most of those who ac-
cept the circus poster prospectus of the
cheap southern lands at their face val
lie are counting disappointment If
two crops are to be had in season
there is twice as much work and in
telligent management to go to rails

man with Start had best stay
where he understands conditions and
work out his salvation in corn and
hogs than attempt to adapt himself
to a strange society, entirely different
climate and methods. He will have
more and be happier in the long
run.

Good Horses Wanted.

Some farmers are Indifferent IN re-
gard to enlarging their horse breeding
operations, being disquieted as to the
perpetuity of paying prices, says the
Drovers' Journal. Other branches OF
live stock industry pay liEeral pro-
fits, and the raising of fine horses is
superseded by other classes of ant
NAL husbandry. While it is not good
policy for every farmer to devote all
his resources to horse breeding, rea-
sonable percentage of classified hors-
es should be bred on the farm annu-
ally in conjunction with other classes
of fine stock. There are but Few far-
mers but what have a natural lnSl.n-
alton and admiration for good hofs-
es. Among the first recollections OF
rural environments are horses. They
are paramount in the execution OF
farm operations. If horses were ex-
terminated it would be an insurmOunt-
able catastrophe to agriculture and IN
dustrial expansion.
Fine horses are in increased de-
mand in all the great cities. CONNER.
cial and industrial conditions are pre-
dieated in the use of horses. The i'm
mense department stores, coal and
transportation companies, express cor
porations, milk, butcher and grocery
delivery service is annually demanding
more horses to meet the normal ex-
pansion of the business. The brew
cry organization uses a vast number
of draft animals, and the consumption
of this class has been so comprehen-
sive in the past decade that there has
been no accumulation of surplus In
Chicago alone the demand in January
Of the current year furnished an OUT
let for 2,447 horses. If to the garden
city is added the consumption of New
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and 9TH
er municipalities of the first class, one
can form some conception of the en-
ormous demand for good horses In this
country. In January there were sold
1880 Horses at the Chicago market
20 per cent of which found sale on
local account. Every large mapufac-
turer and merchant whose business is
increasing is buying more horses.
A prominent feature in the increas-
ed consumption of horses is the de-
mand for better quality. The great
packing and brewing industries paid
as high as $1,000 for fancy matched
pairs, and $3.50 for exceptionally choice
single animals at the Chicago market
last year. While such draft animals
combined high show qualities with
general utility service, the lower
grades of good to choice offerings
found ready sale at $500 to 5000 per
pair. The fact that 1871 more hors-
es found easy outlet at the Chicago
market last month than We're sold in
January, 1904 clearly indicates that
the general demand for good horses
is on the increase. Farmers need not
hesitate to increase their breeding OPP
erations, providing they raise gooa
commercial horses, as demand prom

Breeding Mares Young.

There IS perhaps nothing of which
the English farmer is more proud thar
a fine horse. In writing to the Lon
don Live Stock Journal an experienced
breeder said: "In selecting a good
breeder that will generally meet 9
ready sale with quick return, this
being the chief thought in a farmers
mind, believe nothing better than q
mare of sixteen hands, well proper
toned, with good feet and legs, thick
back. good sloping shoulders and pos
sessed of fine action. In these days
there must be an animal that can do
a lot of work in little time. In choos-
ing sire, one of the smallest should
not be chosen, but obtain the service
of one Of the best.

REMARKS AND RESULTS.

Raymond, in the Chicago Tribune,
has telegraphed from Washington some
political gossip that will contribute
some light upon the question raised
by Senator Dolliver as to the compsra-
tive Importance of remarks and of re-
suits in pleasing the public mind. Re-
garding the probability of an extra
session and tariff revision and the in
fuence of remarks" by Governor
Cummins, Raymond says:
Governor Cummins has been here a
few days in advance Of the Inaugural
ton. He was largely responsible in
conjunction with Governor LaFollette.
of Wisconsin, and Governor Van SAINT,
of Minnesota, for pushing the railroad
question to the front. They came to
Washington just at the psychological
moment.
The interstate commerce commits
sion was hearing sensational. testimony
In the Santa Fe case, and the pres-
dent, who had been interested in the
railroad situation for years, had de-
terminfned on his own account to in
corporate plea for legislation in his
message, and the three governors, rep
resenting the Interstate Commerce Law
Association, furnished the necessary
medium between the people and the
president. All things were combined to-
gether, and railroad rate legislation
caught the fancy of the people, and
today some real reform practically is
certain within year from this date.

demand for tariff revision. 1t is a
conglomeration Of separate selfish IN
terests. Governor Cummins however,
Is not the man to conceal his point
of view, and in his calls at the white
house she has undoubtedly gone over
the tariff situation. That the president
is In receptive mood on this subject
Is evident, from the reports of CONVEX
sations made by congressman who
come out OF the white house.
Just prior to the opening of con-
8ress in December almost every repre-
sentative and senator who called on the
president was asked by Mr.. Roosevelt
what the sentiment was at home on
tariff revision. The leaders generally
advtEd against bringing up the tariff
at arr ct q short Session. They argued,
and with great propriety, that the time
was too short to accomplish anything
and that the only result would be
disturbance of business, conditions,
without any possible gain in the direc-
tion of more equitable schedules.
"Fhersupon the president stopped
taking tariff with his callers and began
TO discuss the railroad question. Re-
Gently, however, he has returned to the
tariff, and hts congressional advisers
are much impressed by this fact and by
his frank tntimation that, while he
was willing to concede the uselessness
OF bringing up the subject at the short
session Of congress. he has not changed

RACE PREJUDICE IN DIES MONIES.

When a Polk county farmer who had
grown well-to-do recently attempted
to buya dwelling in University place
In Des Moines, he found himself unable
to secure the deed though he had the
purchase money in his hand. The
farmer is negro and the owner refus-
ed to sell to one of his color. He
bought the place, finally, in the name
Of a white agent, who then turned the
property over. Since then he has been
notified anonymously by mail that mig
gers" are not permitted to live in Uni
versity place and that he would be
burned out" He still occupies his
mansion in the fashionable quarter I'M
disturbed by fire bugs.
Now this occurred in the capital of
Iowa, not in Louisiana. Mississippi or
Alabama. 1t shows that race prejudice
is alive in one place as in others and
that negro equality is as unacceptable
in Des Moines as it is in Baton Rouge.
That the negro remains in undisturbed
possession of his property is proof Of
the law abiding instinct of the north,
not of any greater liberation of his pro-,
pinquity.
The negro farmer has a legal right
to reside in University Place and
should be protected in it. Any citizen,
white or black, has right to own prop
erty and live there. But the citizen,
who stands entirely on his legal rights
is likely to have sorry time of it.
The observance Of social law means
as much in many respects as observ-
ance of the statutes. The negro may live
between white neighbors who despise
him and thus make life miserable for
himself and the community that aches
to get rid of him. 1t may satiate a silly
pride and foolish tenacity of his legal
rights, but what does he get out of it
that makes life to him worth living on
University place? He would have been
happier on his farm. A residence
without neighbors is only house. He
could move among his own people and
be respected and followed. He can
stay ON University place and remain
niger"
What the colored race needs is the
common sense to distinguish between
legal and social rights" and an added
measure of self respect for their own
race; sense enough to quit 'honing"
for social recognition by the whites and
perseverance, enough to compel bust
ness recognition. So long as men stay
white and black the social line will
fence the races apart with bars of
STEEL Let the negro learn not only
the habits Of thrift that accumulate
property, but the good sense to herd
by himself and the negro question will
be well on toward it's solution. But
those who "butt-in" where they are not
wanted win little for themselves or
their race.
