to the department of agriculture the re-
suits of his experiments with the seeds.
But now this practice is unnecessary,
The experiment stations and the profess
sional seedsmen have made it useless.
Let the whole senseless practice be
abolished and relieve the postoffice de-
partment to that extent.
Attempts have been made to influence
newspapers to take stand against the
free seed nuisance on the ground that
the abolition of the practice would re-
suit in increased advertising on the part
of seedsmen. Reputable publishers will
resent such efforts. 1t is not question
of advertising or personal gain for any
one. 1t is question of right. The free
seed graft is wrong, and that is reason
enough for any right-thinking, patriotic
man.

| Not long since party of friends were
discussing the subject of how best to
get the men of the family to attend
church. In the discussion the question
arose whether, when couple married,
the man belonging to one denomination
and the woman to another, it was best
for the man to give up his church and
attend the one to which the woman be-
longed or vice versa. 1t was argued that
if the man gave up the church he was
accustomed to attend and went with
his wife, that after short time he lost
interest and finally quit going altogether,
which in measure is true. Still we do
not believe woman, who is conscien-
tious member of the church, should
waive her rights to attend that church.
AS rule the church in which she is ac
customed to worship is in measure
her home. 1t is enough for the man to
expect, if she gives up the home of her
childhood, the name under which she
has been known, her former modes Of
living, and adjust herself to an entirely
new state of affairs, without asking or
expecting the further sacrifice of adj
justing herself to his religious belief
If the man has any Christianity worthy
Of the name, he will adjust himself to
his wife's way of thinking in this re-
spect. If he doesn't attend church after
ward he wouldn't attend any way. The
probability is that he has only been at
tending for the purpose of going home
with the girls, and as that is now a
thing Of the past the main incentive for
his attendance is gone. If he is truly
Christian he is not going to let few
words Of conflict in creed interfere
with his church attendance.

AMERICAN SAILORS
RECEIVED BY POPE
Urges Them to Be Loyal to Pledges
and to Be True and Faithful
Citizens.

Rome, February PA detachment Of
fifty sailors from the American cruiser
squadron now at Naples, arrived here
today accompanied by Captain Theodore
II. Love of the Brooklyn, Chaplain
George L. Barnard, DIR. James l.. Belk-
nap, Lieutenant Commander Frederic c.

and John Fitzpatrick. The Americans
spent the morning sightseeing
The sailors We're received by the Pope
this evening. The Pope presented each
of the visitors with a medal. Then he
delivered an address thanking the Amer
leans for coming to Rome for the purpose
of saluting the head of their religion and
urging them all as defenders of the Am
erican flag to be always loyal to the
pledges they had taken, to be true and
faithful citizens and to be respectful to
their superlors and obedient to discipline
in performing their duties. Thus they
would not only be serving their country
but would be following divine instruc-
tions, insurlng a supreme reward.
The Pope then blessed all of the Amer
leans and their families and the religious
objects which the sailors had with them.
Before leaving the Pontin shook hands
with the American officers and the sail
ors gave three hearty cheers for the
Pope.

FOLK SAYS ANTI-GRAFT
WAVE SWEEPS COUNTRY

the abuse of wealth The people do not
oppose riches honestly acquired, but they
do object to the abuses whereby some
obtain great riches. They encourage
legitimate industry and are not unfriend-
ly to corporations that obey the law,
but they demand that corporations obey
the law just like any one else. The an
arehy of capital breeding lawlessness Is
no more eountenanced than the anarchy
of labor breeding riot and disorder
IF 1t is right to put a stop to official
grating and place stripes upon the ofri-
cial boodlers with their thousands gained
unlawfully; If it Is right to break up
the grating of the insurance gang with
their tens Of thousands unlawfully and
dishonesty acquired, Is 1t not right to
stamp out the monopoly grafters the tar
iff grafters with their millions of Ill
gotten wealth wrung from the people
by means of special privileges given them
by the law?
Fortified behind the wall Of protec-
tion, gigantic monopolies have sprung
up. But for the tariff barriers to foreign
competition they could not exist, but for
these same barriers they could not stlfie
competition at home Nor does the gov
ernment derive any benefit from the pro-
ceeds.
a new born American patriotism must
set its face against this policy. Legalized
graft and subsidized legislation are twin
denominations, sprung from a common
stock. They stand or fall together, and
until they are simultaneously attacked,
1t will be idle to hope to prevail against
either"

Topeka, Kas., February 22-The meet

here today followed tonight by the an

Throop. The feature of the evening was
the address of Gov Joseph w. Folk of
Missouri, who discussed the tariff and
other issues of the day. Governor Folk
said:
a political revival Is going on all
over the land today on the subject OF
graft. The people of Philadelphia, Gin
einnati, Pennsylvania and Ohio have
been fighting to regain the government
they had lost. The people are beginning
to awaken to the realization of the
fact that the government of city. OF
state and of nation belongs to them and
they can take the government into their
own hands whenever they WISH This is
the idea true democracy stands for-the
rule of the people.
THE moral awakening that is now
sweeping over the country is simply
the patriotism that comes from the hearts
of the people. determination to stamp
out the things that dshonor in public life
and the things that oppress in public
life-a firm resolve that government
shall be representative of the good and
not of the bad.
This movement against graft Is not
a movement against wealth, but against
