Farmers Problems.

Farmers Problems.
Under this heading the Farm Jour-
nal prints some paragraphs that will
furnish food for thought to our read
ers. If you are a voter your wishes
will have weight with the member of
congress from your district and also
with the senators from your state.
Let them hear from you and let there
be no doubt as to what you want
done.
We have received the following
from a subscriber: Farmers com
plain of a scarcity of laborers, and say
it is difficult for them to house their
crops for want of help. AT the same
time, lawyers, doctors and bankers
from the cities are securing the coun-
try for servant girls. Why these con-
ditiOns? Is it because we enact anti
immigration laws prohibiting servant
girls and IabOrers from coming into
our refuge for the oppressed land
of the free keeping out of the shadow
of old Glory the poor folk of Poland
and China who would be willing to do
some of our work for a little of our
Overplus of the needfulT'' w. *.
In the Farm Journal will be found
the advertisement Of McClure'S Maya
zine, which means that the Farm Jour-
nal approves of that publication, and
is willing to help circulate it, all the
more so because the publishers are,
like the publishers. of the Farm Jour
nal, very particular as to the charac-
ter of advertisements taken. This is
what Mcclure says on this point:
There are certain shops that can not
be found in this magazine; i. e., there
are no saloons. You will not lind the
best champagne, the best beer or
the best whisky; no cigarettes.
There are no enterprises in. it where
you can invest money at from twelve
to twenty per cent. per annum. A
sufferer from cancer must go else
where; when we are able to announce
in the text cure for cancer, we may
be willing to make similar announce
ment in the advertising pages. There
are no places where badness can be
cured, neither can patent medicines
be purchased"
So Mcclure is helping us solve the
problem how to place in the hands of
the American farmer and his wife
literature that does not have to be
carried out of the house with the
tOngS, to prevent the children from
becoming contaminated and their
parents from being swindled.
"
Now that our national lawgivers
are in session at Washington, why
don't they enact laws that the people
want? For instance, why don't they
give us Postal Savings Banks, so that
our people can have a safe and con-
venient place to invest their savings?
Such banks would teach economy and
thrift, and rural folks would not be so
likely to be swindled by get-rich-quick
schemes. Our country is supposed to
be, and ought to be, ahead OF the
effete mOnarchies of Europe in such
matters; but is it? Let us take Aus
tria and see what it has:

IN MOBILE COUNTY
CANDIDATE CONFER CONTINUES HIS
 CAMPAIGN.
Addresses shop Men at WhistIer and After Walsh Has Spoken, Loud Calls Made for Max
 Hamburger.

Mobile April 5.-(Special)-B B Conner. candidate for governor of Ala bama arrived in Mobile early this morn | ing He was billed for speech at Rosters this afternoon at 4:30 but passed there one hour earlier and did not stop much to the disappointment of about twenty-five persons who were | assembled.
 At five thirty he appeared in Whist | Ter accompanied by several Mobilians, | including candidates for the legislature and newspapermen. When the Mobile and Ohio railroad shop men filed out of the works he mounted the freight depot platform and made talk along l lines similar to those used in his pre- vious visit He reviewed his troubles as railroad commissioner in his endeav- or to regulate freight rates and said his failure was not due to his efforts. He told his hearers it would be futile to ask him to have legislation in their interests unless he could have a gen eraI assembly in accord with him. He complimented the Mobile and Ohio and some of its official in a high manner. He urged the candidacy of Walter F. Walsh for the state senate and was followed by that candidate who said he appreciated the fact that he was in the home of his opponent. Max Ham, burger Jr. He said however. he was with MT. conner Tn the matter or Idll- road rate regula lations.
 Speeches were made by Saffold Berney Eyere Damer and r O. Hoffman, the two last named being candidates for the legislature. Al the conclusion of their speech making calls were made for Max Hamburger. who was near by.
 The young newspaper man responded saving had the meeting been held in leased hall he would feel q delicacy in responding The speaking being under the broad canopy of heaven, however he felt at liberty to talk. He realized he said that he was meeting his enc mics on his own heath and therefore would only deal with the leader,
 He read from a paper where 1t was quoted that MT. Conner had amassed large moneys from child labor in his mills He declared that he had been ap- preached with an open letter and been asked to sign it. being guaranteed the endorsement of the Committee should he lfiix his signature thereto. He said the paper was one which would make him subservent to MT. Corners bid dings He declined the paper.
 Robert F. Gordon, a local attorney and an avowed Comerite, read Mir. Hamhurgcr's reply to the proposition and advocated, MT Hamburger's candi- dacy, saying he would vote for MT, Hamburger for the state senate. The Conner party remained in the tallyho until the conclusion of MT. Gordon $ remarks and then drove over to Ma poleonvillc, where MT Conner addressed large audience tonight

Odd Fellows. Constitution.

Judge C. J. Semmes, supreme rep resentative for Alabama in the Stu preme Lodge Independent Order Odd Fellows. has returned from Birming- ham, where he went to be in attend ance at a meeting of the committee on revision of the constitution and by laws of the Grand Lodge of Alabama. Judge Semmes is perhaps, the most enthusiastic Odd Fellow in this state, and his enthusiasm is always directed towards the advancement of the Or der.
 Of the work of the committee, during its deliberations Judge Semmes spoke of only two matters-reduction of representation in the Grand Lodge and increase of fund for the proposed Odd Fellows Home for Alabama.
 The present law governing the Grand Lodge allows" said the judge, one representative TOT each Lodge in the State and one for every fifty mem bers after the first nifty. There are more than four hundred lodges and the expense of the grand lodge ses- sions are necessarily very great be- cause of the large representation. The committee will recommend that this representation be reduced. In order to do this" continued Judge Semmes Tit was decided that the lodgessh ould be districted in order that the repre- sentation be reduced to 200. In de- stricting the lodges and allowing one representative to each fifty members the desired end would be accomplish ed"
 Judge Semmes was asked about the proposed Odd Fellows Home. At pres ent. said he. the fund for this purpose is allowed Is per cent of the 80 cents per capita of the several lodges. To increase the fund the committee will recommend that the assessment be made Is cents per capita fat. He figured that this would give an increase of cents per member to the fund. The move ment looking to the establishment of this home is receiving very great en- couragement and already the fund has splendid basis.
