The Farmers Club.

EXCELLENT promise is given by the Farmers
H. Club of Minnesota, which is distributing its
first yearbook to members all over the state With
the modest sum Of 81 900, allowed for the first time
by the legislature last year for, the work Of the
club it is providing for experiments in farm meth
DDS to be conducted on farms all over the state.
These tests will prove the value of seed selection
crop rotation, different methods Of corn planting
and cultivating, and feeding Of stock etc. The
results will be of value in general way added
information for scientific farmers, but they will
give greater and direct benefit by their in
fuence on the community where the experiments
are conducted. Farmers who have not had the ad-
vantages of expert training will be brought in direct
touch with methods, and will see for themselves
farms. Such object lessons will lead many farmers
to get out Of the old ruts, to think for themselves
and to apply some of the once-despised "book-
farming' methods to their work. ~
The county farmers meetings, along the same
line as the farmers Institutes will contribute to
this same result. They are deserving Of special aid
and encouragement .sas.
The first yearbook bears much evidence Of the
growth Of cooperative movements among the farm
ers. They have been cooperating in their cream
cries, in their elevators and their rural telephone
lines, and have worked together to insure their
crops They are talking of consolidating school dis
tricts, which is another form Of cooperation, and
writer's in the year book favor cooperative fire
surance and cooperative laundries in connection
with the creamery plants Now if all will join in
for cooperative good roads, they will increase the
value of Minnesota farms several dollars an acre
and add vastly to the welfare.

Editorial Section.
Civil Pensions.

@OOD GOVERNMENT, the official publication OF
~ the National Civil Service Reform league, says
that there is before the council Of the league the
question of approximation and retirement OF pubic
servants and several bills pending in congress Fhe
general purport Of these measures is to provide TOR
the retirement Of aged federal servants either with
or without pensions.
It is the frequent claim Of the opponents OF the
merit system that one Of the inevitable consequences
Of that system civil pension list and IT IS as
sumed that civil pension list is necessarily an evil
One of the plans for the retirement of
clerks is the Brownlow bill, which would create
retirement fund made up Of deductions from the
salaries Of employees the fund to be administered
by the federal government but not contributed to by
the government. Another permits the payment Of
small salaries to persons IS years Of age, but
provides for the retirement Of all servants who in
the year 1913 shall be over 70 years Of age. This
is the measure which has aroused SO much antago-
nism in certain Grand Army circles because it would
arbitrarily retire veteran employees of the govern
ment.
The civil pension is exceedingly unpopular
proposition in this country. While it is conceded
that pension list may be all right as to certain
classes of public servants, such as exsolders and
members of police and fire departments, who incur
peculiar risks there is reason why other people
in the public service should be petted and provided
for in their old age any more than if they were IN
the employ of private commercial institutions.
Everyone working for hire is expected, during the
years Of his best strength and efficiency to provide
for the time when he may be longer able to earn
living salary. It is manifestly to his advantage
that he should feel that necessity It will increase
his efficiency and develop his selfrespect both of
which are likely to suffer seriously when he becomes
a dependent, relying upon system which provides
for him permanently without responsibility on his
account. &C.,. . , ~..s -= A.-. ~. Z"
Furthermore, there is an injustice in favorins
public servants at the public expense when they
have, rule, been better paid for lighter service
than the average man and woman doing work Of the
same class for private employers. If public serv
ants wish to contribute from their salaries to re
liable annuity companies thus providing for perot
of enforced idleness in old age there is no reason
why that plan should not be generally adopted ant
effectively carried out without any participation
the part Of the government whatever. There are
no doubt, Of enterprise and business capacit
who would be glad to handle the old age insuranc

employees wish to avail themselves of such a pro
vision against want and suffering in their days

Educating the Filipinos.

u SUBJECT Of peculiar interest touched upon
n by Mr.. Bryan in his weekly letter today is
the interest taken in education by the Fipinos The
large increase in the number Of students and the
wide interest taken in the establishment Of schools
must, he says, be taken into consideration by anyone
who attempts to forecast the future of the island
There are more people speaking English today in
many communities in Luzon than could ever speak
Spanish. In some cases the school attendance is
so per cent Of the school population show
ing that adults are avang themselves Of the school
privileges provided by government. Indeed the
difficulty is to find teachers for the villages which
are willing to erect schoolhouses. 80
It is the one department. of our governments
work in the Philippines according to- Mr.. Bryan
which has not encountered serious criticism and he
employed the fact, that our government is doing
50 much to educate the people, in support of the
theory that the United States can never intend TO
treat the people Of the islands otherwise than fairly
or to withhold from them the privileges and powers
of self government when they have fitted them
selves for the responsibilities Of citizenship. An
educated people cannot long be deprived Of their
full political rights and the people of the United
States understand this thorcly. If the Americans
were not inclined to give the Filipnos the largest
practicable measure of self-government they would
not be 50 ready to lift. the general intelligence and
educate the masses, which was very fair and
s proper thing for Mr.. Bryan to do and shows that
he has profted by his visit to the Philippines, as
most anti imperiafists have. 81
