Business Changes.

The tonsorial parlor, owned
by George Toy, at this place,
was purchased by John Coyle,
of Madisonville, Monday. Mr..
Coyle has retained the workmen
employed before the deal and
will doubtless receive liberal
patronage, as he is we'll known
in this city, having been en-
gagged in this business here be-
fore. Mr.. Toy has made no
definite plans as to what he will
do in the future.

The Beaaar Prince. .

Knights of Pythias week at Oak
Summit Park opened yesterday in
fine style, and the Beggar Prince
Opera Co. succeeded In drawing
two capacity audiences. No better
pleased audience has been in the
theatre this season, and each men,
beI of the company, Individually
and collectively, made the greatest
kind of hit. The company num-
bers about twenty-five and includes
well-drilled and exceptionally
pretty chorus. The commedlans
are of more Than ordinary ability,
and succeeded in getting plenty of
laughs during the evening. "The
Beggar Prince" or "The Mascot
which was presented at both per-
formances yesterday, affords plenty
of opportunity for good, clean come
DIV acts. The entire performance is
almost one continuous langh. The
roles were IN the hands of
Harry Lea Velle, Allen X. Foster,
Fred GOdding and Eleanor Burton,
aud all acquitted themselves admir-
obly. The costumes were all new
and very pleasing to the eye. Each
act was set in an admirable manner.
and the performance was as good as
many seen locally at high prices.

1896 who feared that Bryan was not
worshipper of court as political
deity.
The president urges the passage
of law prohibiting corporations from
contributing to campaign funds. This
is good as far as it goes, But the
president forbears to indulge in a long
lecture upon the subject. He. does not
care to excite the people into serious
thinking over the immortality of cor
poration contributions to campaign
funds in view of the fact that he has
not yet seen fit to order Cortelyou
and Bliss to return the money that
was stolen from the policyholders of
our life insurance companies by their
officers and used to aid in his own
election to the high Office he now
holds. The message contains much
that is good. Perhaps upon the
whole it is as good q document as we
have a right to expect from any re-
publican except it be from LaFollette
alone.
1t is a matter of regret that the
president is unable to confine himself
to giving the country an annual re-
view of his stewardship, and make
his recommendation to congress,
without indulging in long school
boy essay upon every topic men
toned, thereby making document
too bulky to be printed in the average
newspaper. AS it is, not more than
one-quarter Of the papers have space
to print 1T, and but few people have
the time and patience to read it
through with care and deliberation.

A NEW ERA IN FARMING

That new era in farming has been
fairly entered upon that is destined
TO elevate that calling to it's rightful
position in respect to reward and
honor is at last finding general recog
milton among men. This fact is evi-
denced by the appearance of a new
class of purchasers for the higher
grades of farming lands, class pos
sessed of great intellectual acumen
who have heretofore looked with dis
favor upon land for legitimate in
vestment purposes.
The Independent again repeats it's
oftimes admonition that high grade
farm lands are cheap at present
prices, and again urges upon those
of our readers who own good farms
to hold on to them, and also urges
upon those who do not own a good
farm and are able to purchase one
to do so. even though the price may
seem high. Land values that seemed
high ten years ago appear now to
have been ridicu1ously low. The next
ten years can hardly be expected to
show SO great an advance in price,
but our highest priced lands are sure
to go much higher, and good lands
that are now comparatively low
priced, on account of obscure location
or of being overlooked for any cause
are sure to net purchasers large
profits.
Chief among several causes that
are operating to enhance the value of
good lands is the advance in knowl-
edge that not only enables the up-to-
date farmer to more than double his
former annual income but has elevat-
ed his vocation from plane of dull
unintelligent drudgery to one Of sur

passing interest, that affords an agree
able scope for his higher faculties.
The cultivation of the soil has been
rescued from the realm of blind ex-
pertinent and divested of its weari-
some uncertainties and placed secure
ly upon scientific plane where the
intellect finds unlimited scope for its
activities and reward commensurate
with it's desert
The number of pupils in attendance
upon our agricultural schools, the able
professors in charge, and the curri-
culum in use suggests the revolution
that is so rapidly Transforming Amer
ican farm life from dull drudging pc
nury into life of interest and CON-
parative affluence. 1t is imposs ble
to note the resuks of in telli gent effort
at any of our school farms without
becoming an enthusiast over the far
reaching consequences of the work
they are doing, and rejoicing over the
triumph OF intellect in this new and
absorbing field.
The farm with all Of It's hardships
and shortcomings has ever been the
recruiting station the business and
professional world has had to draw
upon for human material to uphold
their standards of excellence the pro-
ducts of city and town having signally
failed in that respect. The habits
of industry inculcated on the farm, the
symmetrical development of body and
mind gained in the activities of farm
life and the ambition born of the un-
bounded hope and courage impaired
by honest nature to the heart and
intellect of the country lad have ever
constituted the only unfailing source
of supply of strong men to fill the
manifold requirements of life, civic or
military. If, then, the farm in the
past, with all of its manifold short
comings, has been the breeding
ground of the worlds great men, what
vistas must open before the farmer
boy of the future under the more
favorable conditions of broader intel-
ligence, greater intellectual activities,
and the richer rewards of a more per
feet co-partnership with nature

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Precedent counts for nothing with
President Roosevelt, who in his mes
cages to congress departs from the
beaten path of his predecessors and
fnjectB schoofroom lecture to the
courts, congress and the people gen
erM into those erstwhile formal and
: dfgnffied documents His recent mes
: Enge to congress contains substan-
tally a repetition of the lecture on
morals and living included in former
messages, together with an extraor-
mary assortment of suggestions, not
less notable for what is said than
for what is left unsaid, constituting a
state paper upon which the charac-
, teristic Inconsistencies of It's author
are strikingly impressed.
The one thing about the message
that is most notable is the docility
and mildness with which the president
, tiptoes through his discussion of our
relations with Japan. The terms of
, appreciation, bordering on endear-
ment, with which the Japanese are
applauded as exemplary in everything
suggests q nature as mild as suck
ing dove and banishes from memory
ell thought of the thrilling rough
Eider. The big stick that with one
swipe flnttened out the little republic
OF Colombia seemed. to slip from the
presidents hand, and fall to the bot
1 tom OF the well, when making reply
! to f1ne unreasonable demand of Japan.
The subject of swollen fortunes is
approached in q manner that is both
tremulous and apulogetic, ending with
the suggestion of graduated inherit
.ance tax and ''if possible a graduated
income tax at some future time"
The president refers to fortunes
swollen to an unhealthy size, and he
evidently scents danger to the future
In their perpetuation, but he is as
sifent as the grave regarding the tariff

prices for its products, while under |
selling all foreign competitors at the
very doors of their factories, are still
held to be sacred by the president,
who is not yet ready to deprive his
party of the ample source OF campaign
funds available to it from the trusts
that are sheltered by the tariff
The referency to currency legisla-
ton in the message is most unfortu
nate for the president in disclosing
the muddled condition of his mind
upon that subject. He notes the fluct-
uadon in interest rates in New York
and infers that the currency is in
some way responsible therefor. This
seems to mark the limit OF his ca
pacity in solving the problem pre-
sented- He appears as obivicus of
the causes affecting interest rates,
either temporary or permanent, as he
is destitute of remedy therefor.
He notes no difference between the
artificial condition of the money mar
ket resulting from heavy pool opera
tions in stocks and the tension upon
currency caused by preparation for
semi i-annual dividend payments, or
from the extra demand at crop NOV
ing time After foundering through
the mazes of backing, filing and
embarrassing himself in an attempt
to point out currency trouble and a
remedy therefor, he finally confesse5
his ignorance of the. subject, throws
the responsibility of finding out what
ought to be done and how to do 1t up.I
on congress, and ends By suggesting |
that the banks be empowered to spas
medically issue notes against GER
tain per cent of their banking capital
and that the people be deprived of
their only safeguard against general
values being raided by an organized
banking pool, by repeating the law
that limits the retirement of national
bank notes to three million dollars
per month.
The presidents reference to our in
sular possessions is creditable to him
throughout His plea for larger
measure of justice for the peoples we
h. Il ~, ,loc an
in heads and hearts of all true
Americans. The country will rejoice
ground upon the matter. The prob
lens presented by our island posses
sions in the Pacific are difficult and
fraught with dangers, some of which
are of nature that the public vel
fare forbids a public discussion Of
by the responsible head Oh The gov
