GET TO THE FARM.
Topeka Plaindealer.)

The Springtlme is coming, and as the buds
put forth we hope the Negroes in the various
states will look towards the farm. There are
several opportunities in that direction that
will be of great benefit to those who follow
that pursuit. Persons with FIVE acres of land.
lncubators, alfalfa, and other cereals TO feed
to the chickens can make 1t profitable. earn
good livelihood and grow independent. The
salvation of our people now is to rear their
sons and educate them to advantage TO till
the soil. The man who follows that occuna-
ton in life is always the one who is indepen-
dent and can express himself more liberaIlv
and freely on matters of importance than
those who hang around the city and live
from hand to mouth. There are too manv
young men around the cities who live nm 70
every nickel they happen to earn, and idle
away most OF the time in useless and unprof-
liable occupation. If the young men who
are walters in hotels, and porters and en-
ployes in railroad shops would form corno-
ration among themselves, and buy up land
ana select one from among them to MANAGE
IT. the others continuing to work and bnv
cattle and hogs to stock the farm. as The
value increased, they could divide up and
another could be selected from the same cor.
Poratlon who would quit these Jobs in hotels
and go to the farm, where they could con-
hnue to grow wealthy as well as those ,vbo
are associated with them. In that wav hun.
dreds could be benefited in few years.
There is no beating about the bush. The
salvation of Uncle Ephraim,s desc.rdou..
lies IN riding behind farm horses and mules
IN the corn and cotton fields. When he is
cultlVatng his own land, and gathering the
products thereof, he can then be dubbed =,
independent American citizen. We would
IKE to see the Negroes make special effort
o own and control larger proportion of the
and IN some particular counties in Mississ-
PPl, Louisiana and South Carolina. If isan
outrage ior men to continually cry and howl
or their rights, yet make no preparation to
leiend the same. The only way to become
nan Is to surround oneself with all that is
necessary to defend the rights of a man.
Negroes must get land and learn to cultivate
and grow cattle, hogs and other things that
nd ready sale on the market Hogs and
hickens require very little capital, and they
re things which the Negroes mostly con-
lme' yet they raise very few Of them for
lemselves or the market. If they would
dapt themselves to raising these things, pro-
-lng thereby, they could take their places
sslde the white man, where they belong.

The endorsing of the republi-
can ticket by the Lincoln Dav
Club at the recent election, no
doubt puts that organization in
line for considerable prestige, not
only with the incoming admins
tration but in all future contests.
The sarcastic filings and inuendos
of its foes will have no weight as
the organization on the even
tenor of its way went on record
by endorsing the republican ticket
from top to bottom, and its work
stands out in bold relief against
all statements to the contrary.
People of this day admire and give
credit to those who do things and
there is no question of the prestige
of the Lincoln Day Club.

Very little do we hear of thei
valor. No country claims them

From that far away home il
Bethlehem down to the present
day comes the cry of the mothers
And women have been fighting
these battles increasingly day by
day. They have no place upon a
map, but are being fought by the
mothers of men, each hour,-aye,
each minute in the day, and will be
until the end of time. No powder
or shot IS ever used,-nor sword
or pen is ever brought into action.
Nor yet with eloquent and stirring
words from lips gifted with beauti-
tul speech. But as every mother
can tell,-from a deep, walled up
woman's heart. Women who will
never give up, who will, in silence,
bear bravely her part in this fear
tul struggle and fight. Her heart
is the battlefield. There is no.
gathering of troops, no waving
banners. No trumpet's sound, but
the heart-throbs that only a mother
can know and feel. These, and
these alone, are her insignia. And
we mothers know they last from
the cradle to the grave. You hear
40 shout, scarcely a groan but
she keeps on to the end, fighting
oravely. Then silently and unseen
goes down.
If children, especially the young
men, would only think,-quietly
hink, of the anguish, anxiety,
sorrow, cares, and woes of their
Mothers heart, | am sure there
would be less broken mothers

The great interest which the people
OF Bakersfield, Cal, have taken in the
rescue of Hicks the entombed miner,
and their preparations for extensive re-
joicing are complimentary to them and
to mankind generally. 1t only needs
something extraordinary like this case
of Hicks to arouse the good in US. We
are prone to callousness, made so by
the miseries which are so common
about US. But something like this case
of Hicks brings to the surface the sym

A PLEASANT AND PAYING
BUSINESS.

The Republicans subscription con-
test. which will end tomorrow night
has been of twofold value to all the
boys and girls who have taken part in
it and will be of three fold benefit TO
most of them-that is, to those among
whom the eight prizes will be distrib-
uted. From all points of view the
contest has been much more successful
than even the sanguine circulation de-
partment imagined it could be. The
results have been beyond expectation.
1t was not apprehended that the con-
testants would throw so much vim into
it. or that they could find so many
persons who had been deprived of the
advantage of reading The Republican.
As a matter of fact, the field of OPP
erations at the beginning Of the con-
test was not an apparently fruitful
one. 1t had already been rather close
" reaped over so that the contestants
went forth in the character of CLEAN
ers. But people kept coming into the
valley. and they were at once seized
upon and enrolled on the subscription
list Hundreds of subscriptions have
been received from non residents TO
whom the contestants by means of lit
tiers or through friends, have success
fully pointed out the advantage of be
ing regular readers of The Republican.
We can not now think of any recent
enterprise in the valley which has
been SO solidly beneficial to all parties
concerned. the subscribers. the con-
testants and The Republican.
We began by saying that this con-
test has been of two fold benefit TO all
of the competitors, and of three fold
benefit to most of them. The business
training they have received, the devel-
opment of their self confidence. the
larger acquaintance with human ma
ture and human persons they have
formed will stand them in good stead
throughout an active life. They are
much better fitted by it for the edu-
cational courses which they will have
earned in the same contest and
through which they will be fitted for
useful lives.
Then, last and least. but by no
means unimportant, is the money
which they have each and all received
in the way of regular commissions on
subscriptions. Many a man supporting
n family has earned less money in the
last two months than some of these
contestants. 1t has been a paying and
pleasant business all around.
