Mans Faithful Friend.

We have not word to take back
or change of all that we have written
against the worthless ours that cost
the state so much. We believe in a
heavy tax on dogs with such penalties
as will insure its collection. We are
ready TO endorse the idea of CORES
pOndent of one of our exchanges, that
was that the fax on the first dog be
S1.00 and on the second $1,000. the
tax on females to be at least $500
Yet we also know that there are
hundreds of really valuable dogs in
the county. Farmers need each one a
good dog. but the trouble is that most
of them are not of any account. not
worth the load of shot that is needed
to kill them.
The Farm Stock Journal prints an
anecdOte. which may or may not be
true as concerns Senator Vest. but
it is certainly true so far as the de
scription of the fidelity of the dog is
concerned.
Senator Vest. of Missouri. was once
attorney for a plaintiff whose dog had
been shot and who demanded 5000 in
damages When Vest finished his ad-
dress to the jury, after two minutes

Yes. and how could the city people

stand. then, for the open country for
its affairs. for the trees that grow
there. for the heaven above, for its
men. for its women, for its institutions.
In the stress and racket of your cities
you forget the quiet, patient lives away
yOnder on the hills and in the valleys,
and still beyond on the plains. But
they are more numerous than all the
families of all your great cities. They
are my people; with them 1 was born
their problems are my problems; for
them 1 mean to labor as long as |
have strength and life"
Taking New York as an example
Prof. Bailey was not quite correct in
saying that the farmers were more
numerous than the families of the
great cities. The population of that
state is over $500 900. but that of New
York City is $4,000 900. or more than
half that of the entire state. The
case is nearly the same in Illinois.
where Chicago has over 100000 of
the population of that state is over
$3.50, 600. 900.
He had some sensible things to say
about the boys leaving the farms, that
we wish we had room for. He puts
the question this way: "Why should
the boy remain on the farm?' Let
parents and friends think of some
answers to the query. They will be
very likely to think of some of the
reasons Prof. Bailey gives. One fact
he states in his lecture. startled us
little. He said that 30 years ago it
required four and One-half hours of
labor to produce bushel of corn while
now it requires but Al minutes: then
he says it cost So "a cents TO produce
a bushel, now it costs 10 ID cents
Our grandfathers had hard time
getting along. according to these state
ments. for we will remember when
corn sold for from Is to % cents a
buShel. and it has not been many years
since it could have been bought in
the prairieS of central Illinois at 10c
per buShel: but the reason for this
was that the roads were so bad it
could not be hauled to the railroad
stations and there were not hogs
enough to eat it up. of course he had

Other nOtings made are these: ''There
are three human agencies that teach
the young, the parents, the preacher,

father or mother compare farming dis

tiOns." Other men put forward the
advantages of their business. farmers
are prone to put forward the disad-

the duties imposed upon me, to any

archives of the state, it being a fact
that these records have never been at

Railroad commissioners of nearly all
the states of the Union have, where
the powers given are judiciously eX-
ercised. proven of great benefit to the
general public. and there is no reason
why Florida should be an exception
to the rule. Experience has pointed

The State of Florida has wonderful
possibilities before it. and in my
humble opinion no agency can be such
a potent factor in its development as
the railroad commission. For this
reason the voter should weigh careful

Women Of Sweden.

The Swedish woman is the most
Amazonian Of her sex in Europe,
according 10 Marc Helys, who is SO
deeply impressed by the fact that he
writes 10 article in lie Correspondent
(Paris) about 1t, He reminds US that
in early days a %jsvelin was included
in her trOusseau, and on her wedding
day she was expected to burl this
through the window, "siguifying, by
this symbolic acl, her readiness to
take part IN the defense Of her hearth
and home" During the wars OF
Charles XII. The women plowed,
sowed and harvested the grain, we are
told, and according 10 the ancient
Swedish Law a woman married f'in
order 10 be mistress in her house., -
and was to have the same rights as
her husband over ''the bolts, locks
and keys Of the home" 1t is
therefore no wonder that feminlsm,
the principle of woman's rights, has
made great progress in Sweden. The
occupation OF women in civil and
professional life, says Mr.. Helys, Is
well night universal; she not only
teaches, or undertakes the manage
ment of a bank, but learns marks
manship and military drill, a great
advantage, says the writer, in a
country Of so small a population, as
in case of foreign war the women
could defend the land when it is
stripped of male garrisons.-Literary

Department of Education Notes.

The recent Safe Teachers Associa-
ton was the fourth largest ever held
there being about 500 in attendance.
1t was a most representative body.
Young men from nearly every county
OF the state took active part, Missouri
has cause to feel proud of its leading
teachers. Citizens commented on the
contrast between this body and that
larger gathering in the State Capitol
10 1897.
Supt. ] NJ. Greenwood Of Kansas
City is the first president of the State
Teachers Association to have a
second term, He was president in
1875 and elected the second time
thirty years later. 1t is fitting for
him, the Oldest active member of the
ASSOCIATION, to preside at the semi
centennial celebration next year.
The association was organized in
1856; no sessions were held during the
Civil War. The Lext session will be
the forty.ftth.
College professors and presidents
had a warm discussion on school
athleLlcs at their recent meeting in
jefferson City. All stood for clean
athletics. Some we're in favor Of very
posi- i've rules prohibiting foot ball as
now played. Others stood for such
changes as would reduce risks. The
people demand that all brutality be
eliminated or the game prohibited.
State Superintendent Caring on is
making a thorough aud extensive
investigation of teachers salaries.
In his forthcoming report, be will
give figures to show that teachers
salaries are less than those paid clerks,
stenographers, policemen, street
cleaners, hotel walters and others.
Missouri teachers are in earnest in
demanding adequate compensation for
service rendered.
After a thorough discussion Of each.
the following things were done by
the State Teat hers Association: ~
Appointed a committee to investigate
the assessment Of properly and sources
of school ~ Requested
the State Superintendent to make
special investigation of teachers
salaries and repor. to the association.
(S) Advocated longer tenure of
position for teachers, especially for
superintendents of city and town
schools. az Asked that agriculture
be made u requirement for any grade
of teachers certificate. (5) Com
mended the compulsory attendance
law but asked for amendments to
make it more difficult OF evasion. (6)
Recommended large appropriations
and liberal policies toward the new
Normal Schools at Springfield and
Maryville.
