HUNTING FARM HELP
The Old Annoyanes to the Farm Still
HOLDS On.

'The summer Is over, but the farm
work ISN'T all done by any means"
said a farmer while at the County
Fair yesterday. AS a matter of fact
there is about as much hard work to
do in the fall as in what people are
pleased to call harvest time.
The potato crop is now being taken
up. the plowing Of sod for wheat is
going on, or preparation therefor be-
gun and fertilizers being spread, the
early corn crop is about to be har-
vested and silos are being filled. There
are many. other things which must be
done before real cold weather comes
along, so that farmers, especially
those who have the daily duties to
attend to, have plenty to do and ad-
ditional help is needed.
1t is a difficult matter just now to
find suitable farm help. 1T is
thought by some people that any per-
son can farm. but that isn't fact
said one farmer. "A man must have
experience to do things as well as in
other lines Of business. I have had
several city bred men who weren't
worth their salt on the farm. They
can't plow. cut corn, milk or eyep
pitch hay handily. They can pick potq-
toes. but not so fast as a farm grown
boy. But the country boys want to
work in the towns and be business
men. lawyers and such like. The
average Italian laborer can handle a
pick and shovel better than an Ameri-
can born man. but we aren't always
digging bitches, SO that they do not
make good farm help. Besides il is
difficult TO get them TO understand
what is wanted. The question Of farm
help grows more serious every year"
Farmers generally are busy al pres
ent, as crops are heavy.

Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1906-10-01

To the Herald's way of thinking
Senator Bailey goes into a great deal
of small talk in his speeches refuting
the charges made against him. No
one has ever questioned Bailey's abil-
ity, and no one who is fair will be
lieve that Bailey has been guilty OF
any small crimes, but the question
the intelligent people of the state
want answered is whether or not
Bailey can serve the trusts as attor-
ney and at the same time do his duty
as a senator representing this great
state. Mr. Bailey, instead of engag-
ing in so much small talk, should give
us facts and instances showing wheth-
er or not it is customary for the bet
ter class of United States senators to
accept such service from the trusts
while serving in office. If it is the
custom, then Bailey is no more guilty
than the common run of senators. If
it is not customary then he should
explain why these other senators
have not followed his example. Did
Reagan accept such services? Does
Culberson do it? Have the other pa
triotic Texans in the senate done it?
The answer is known to every man in
the state. How then can Bailey JUS
tify his peculiar position? Can he
do it at all? All of Bailey's small
talk is an avoidance of the proposition
before the people, and no one knows
it better than the senator. But it is
easier to refute these small charges
and devour the sources of them than
it is to justify himself on the one big
essential proposition.

The gilded Democratic press of the
country is after Hearst, and is pre-
dieting all kinds of disaster to the
party in New York as a result of his
nomination. Hearst may not be all
that good Democrat should be, but
when we consider the gang that he
is fighting he must be accepted as
the least of two evils. If ever there
was a crowd that needed putting out
of business it is the New York ma
chine, and if Hearst can do the bust
ness he should be hailed as a bene-
factor not only to New York, but to
the entire nation, and especially to
the Democratic party. Most of the
opposition to Hearst is born OF envy
and hatred of his influence. He will
be elected governor of New York.

pie of Texas will regard the plea set
up by Mr.. Bailey, but it is safe to
predict that the great majority of the
Democracy of the country will not
agree with him. 1t is impossible for
them to view with either admiration
or enthusiasm a senator who rises in

monopolies as inimical to the public
welfare and progress of the country.

J. ]. Blount and his alarm clock in
the last legislature are well remem-
bered incidents Of that interesting
body Well, Blount has another
alarm clock, and says he is going to
spring it in the Texas political arena

this new clock is a good story. Last
week, as is known, the merchants Of
this city held the first of the fall sea
son trades days, and among the pre-
miums offered was one lone alarm
clock, the offer of Kolstad Brothers.
Now among the thousands of buyers
who came to the city to trade during
these days was also one J. J.
Blount, and when the tickets were
shaken up and taken from the bag
what should happen but that Blount
should draw the clock. He accepted
the jewelry," and says he will make
it wake up the political world again
This time he is to use it as a mascot
in a race against Joe Bailey for the
United States senate. Mr.. Blount was
in the city this morning. and said
he would give out statement an
nouncing himself as a candidate for
senator.
