have the same disease as he has. the |
money disease, and we would be no bet
ter than he is in the same situation.
Perhaps we make too much of the
strenuous life in this country. There is
too much adherence to the pagan doc
trine of the survival of the fitiest. We
are Spartans in secret. while openly
protesting to be Christian. We are
worse than the Spartans because they
made no secret Of the fact that inferior
children were to be destroyed. We pre-
tend to be the followers of a higher
code, but really we believe in the SUR
vival Of the strongest and we act on
that assumption The result is that the
weakest are being pushed into corner,
where it is either crime or suicide.
The weakesr have the same ideal as
the strongest; that Of getting and hay
ing for old age. None of slives today
We are all going to live tomorrow or
some other time, when we have made
our pile" Mere lucre lures one man
away from job which meant fame and
place in history. The love OF money
makes smiling hypoorite of the cru
dite and popular Chauncey M. Depew.
The greed for gold causes Mitchell and
Burton to drag the er;aine of the senate
through the barnyard,
The graft exposures in this country
have been such as to make people afraid
and ashamed, but they do not appear to
have lessened the evil materially The
gangs which are waiting to plumber
cities are only waiting. They are ready
to form chemical combination for
plumber whenever the wave of reform
shall have spent its force. How are
they to be kept down? Only by eterna
vigilance Oh the part of the press and
pulpit and by the active cooperation Of
all good men. Above all. there need
to be some cruel and savage punish
ment for men in high places who hav,
t forgotten themselves. Examples ar
needed. Exchange.

Is There a Graft Disease?
Graft aft,

Grafters reign where'er we go.
Graft in stocks,

Many men who are not naturally OPP

hands in despair when they see about
them so many evidences of the surrender
to greed: United States senators using
their Offices to swindle; great officers of
great insurance companies. men with
millions already, using their trusteeship

abroad; trusted employees of the govern

An interesting experiment is being
conducted at the Colorado station, the
object of which is to breed up type of
carriage horse with size, beauty, finish,
gait and speed, having all these com.
bined with that indefnable thing called
quality. The intention of those who
have charge of that experiment is to I'M.
port certain number of Coach and
Hackney mares and stations so that
the new type of horse that is to be will
be a cross bred animal. Mr.. w. A.
Helsell, of Odebolt, Iowa. takes issue
with this plan in the current issue of
the The Farmer and Stockman. He
points out the unsatisfactory results
that have come from the crossing of
breeds, and claims that there is to be
found among standard horses today the
exact type of the animal sought for in
this experiment. The many good
things that are appearing from week to
week in The Farmer and Stockman,
would seem to justify the placing of
more names of farmers in this commun.
ity, upon the subscription list of this
paper. To this end we would be pleas
ed to have you call the next time you
are In town and see about having it
placed there.
