conditions OF overcrowding and artifi-
cial standards and food and employ
ment inadequate TO the national needs
and so be In danger OF destroying the
stately temple once reared with the
highest hopes that ever animated hu-
manity. Which Is Il to be?
If We are to walk safely In the way
Of wisdom there Is much 10 be done.
u Is time TO begin. There must be,
first. "A return to conservative and
economic methods. a readjustment OF
national ideas such as TO place agri-
culture and it's claims TO the best in
telligence and the highest skill that
the country affords in the very fore
front There must be a national re-
volt against the worship OF manufact-
ure and trade as the only forms OF
progressive activity. and the false no.
ton that wealth built upon these at
the sacrifice OF the fundamental form
Of wealth production can endure. A
clear recognition on the part of the
whole people. from the highest to the
lowest, that the tillage OF the soil is
The natural and most desirable Occu-
patton for man. 10 which every other
is subsidiary and TO which all else
In the end must yield, is the first re-
quisite. Then there will be a check
administered TO the city movement
that lowered the percentage OF agricul.
tural labor TO the whole body OF per-
sons engaged In gainful occupations
Ia the United States from 44.3 in 1880
TO 377 in 1890 and 1857 In 1900 With
public interest firmly fixed upon the
future OF the country. In mere self
preservation We must give serious at
tention 10 the practical occupation OF
restoring agriculture to its due place
in the nation.

To Tell the Truth

Ii does cost good deal more than
one dollar year to print the Citizen

who wrote us few days ago "The

Of the work Of preparing the paper
for its readers were not given with
out cost, il would be losing money
all the time. One subscriber wrote
few days ago: i have been a cons

INCREASE IN THE COST OF LIVING
Government Statistics Show That
All Food Stuff is Higher
Than Since 1890

Retail prices of food in 1905
were at the highest point during
the sixteen year period beginning
with the year 1890 and ending
with 1906 says a government
bulletin just made public by the
Department of Commerce and La
Dor. The average price of % of
the 80 articles, " continues the re-
port, included in this compila
ton were higher in 1905 than in
1904, and the price of every arti,
Gle included in the compilation ex-
cepting coffee and prunes was
higher in 1905 than in 1S96-the
year of lowest prices during the
last sixteen years.
But" says the report. the
average wages per hour in 1905
were 5 per cent higher than in
1894, the year of lowest wages
during the period covered, and
weekly earnings were 16.7 per
cent higher. The purchasing pow
er of an hours wages was greater
In 1905 than in any other year
covered by this investigation, be-
ing IT per cent greater than in
1891. the year of lowest wages,
and l. 3 greater than in 1896, the
year of lowest retail prices. The
purchasing power of week :
wages in 1905 was 81 per cent
greater than 1894, but 81 per cent
less than in 1896. "
Continuing the report says:
The advance in bacon since 1896
has been 43.3 per cent, the adj
vance in Irish potatoes 49, per
cent, the advance in eggs Ills per
cent, the advance in dry or pick
led pork 80 per cent, the advance
IN flour 1913 per cent, the advance
in corn meal 2S.6 per cent. The
advance in food when each of the
80 articles is given a weight &C.

BE HOMES

The father who sends his boy
out into the world with this ad-
vice, Get money; get money hon
estly if you can, but get money"
IS but advising him Ito travel the
road to ruin.
It is hard at best for US to do
right at all times. Ii is hard to
deal justly and honest. 1t is hard
to pull up stream, to breast the
current, to contend with the storm,
not to look right nor left, but to
travel In the straight and narrow
path of duty and right. Our ma
ture is carnal and our hearts are
prone to think wrong and do
wrong.
1t is easy to float with the tide
to go with the crowd, to do as
the world does. But Oh. how
hard it is to face the world and do
right, be absolutely honest and
just. The boy who starts out in
world to make an honest, honor
able man has no easy task. 1t will
take all the manliness of his nature
to do it but the reward is worth it.
What is sweeter than to feel and
to know that you have dealt hon
estly and justly with your fellow
men; and what you have has been
made honestly -that 70 widow or
orphan is suffering hardships or
priyations as the result of your
rascality and injustice; that no
man, woman or child can Justly
charge that you have defrauded
them out of a cent. TO our mind
this is happiness. Clean hands,
an honest heart and feeling void
of otfense, hatred, envy and ma.
lice for any living man or woman
is the best religion and safest pass
port from earth to heaven 1t is
worth all the money in the world.
Yet the living of such life does
not necessarily mean that you
shall be poor. Some of the best
men we have ever known have
been among the wealthiest.
Some Of the wealthiest men in
the world have gained every cent
they have strictly by honest meth
DDS.
Don't be honest just because it
is best the policy, but because it is
manly, because it is God-like.
The noblest work of God is an
honest man, and the boy who
would rather be honest than rich,
will be rich before he dies.

D AVIS ENDORSES BRYAN'S VIEWS
Says Bryan is Right on Federal
Ownership of Railroads and
Raps Senator Jones.

Governor Davis gave out state
ment Friday to the effect that
there was nothing in the report
sent out from Memphis that he
was snubbed by Senator Carmack
of Tennessee while in Memphis last
wee k to meet Mr.. Bryan. Cover.
nor Davis admitted, however, that
they saw each other, but would
not discuss the subject, further
than to say there was nothing in
it.
There is said to be ii feeling
between Governor Davis and Sen
ator Carmack, growing out Of the
fact that Governor Davis gave out
statement favoring former Gov
ernor Bob Taylor Of Tennessee for
the United States Senate to sue
coed Carmack. An Associated
Press dispatch from Memphis
Thursday said that Senator Car
mack refused to shake hands with
Governor Davis when introduced
by friends at Union station in
Memphis, Senator Garmack turn
ing and walking away when Gov
ernor Davis hand vas offered.
ENDORSES FEDERAL OWNER
SHIP OF RAILROADS
Governor Davis endorses the
Bryan idea of federal ownership
of railroads. BRYAN is right
when he says that the only solu-
ton for the control of the railroad
question is federal and state con
troll of trunk lines, he said. /
am heartily in sympathy with his
views, and | think that his declar-
ations have won hio many friends.
lie Will be nominated by the Dem
ocrats and will be elected two
years hence.
THINKS JONES Is WRONG
Governor DAVIS disapproves of
the advice that former Senator
James X Jones of Arkansas is Civ
ing Bryan on the railroad question.
He said:
Jones has led Bryan through
two political graveHards by his adj
vice, and | think it Is time for him
to go away back and sit down. He
is now attempting to assume the
role of dictator, and tells Bryan
that his federal ownership of rail
roads is a dead issue and will have
to be dropped. Jones advice is
very poor. He could not be elect
ed constable in Arkansas. AR
