HAZING La Toilette seems to be
attended with some uncertain
ties. The old stagers in the
Sc ate set out to do things to
him last year because he thought
his term as senatOrical repre-
sentative of his state actually
began when he took the oath!
But somehow at every turn they
had reason to ask "whO is doing
this job, Bob l.. Or us?" He
made them do things to the rate
bill they didn't want to do, but
be had gotten the roll call cinch
on them and they are getting de-
Iicate on the sebjpct of roll calls.
But they saw thei.' chance in the
bill for limiting the hours a rail-
road employee can be required
to labor without rest. They
would stand him on his head
and make him gia1 to quit play
ing senator for a while, at least.
So they threw amendments at
him and by artful % lodges,
mixed things SO that even them
selves were so tangled that they
saw no way out for LaF'Ollette,
neither could they complete the
record for themselves, and there
they we're. LaFolIette quietly
abandoned the bill they had so
targIed presented substitute
h. had drawn up and to their
C agrin they found be had got
TIN them into parliamentary
C .rner where they had no choice
but to face a roll call on the issue
as between the railroad manag-
ers and the people! They took
their medicine and rather than
to let him read roll in his next
seasons lectures showing them
As being for the roads as against
their constituents. by a vote of
seventy to one they passed his
bill which is more drastic than
the one they had spent SO much
time in mixing up They have
discovered that the new men is
somewhat of hazer himself.
We wait with considerable in
terest to see what the next move
will be. -Medford Star News.

OPPOSED TO LOCAL PROGRESS.
Journals That Help TO Concentrate
Business in Large Cities.

There are thousands Of so-called az
ricultural papers published in the
United States. all Of more or less
merit Yet few are all that they should
be There is an Inconsistency about
them that invites careful study. While
they are supposed 10 represent the
best interests Of the great class OF
workers whom they gain support from
in the way Of subscriptions. the ma
jority Of them apparently work against
the progress Of farming communities
by becoming the mediums. a part of
the machinery. which draws from
country towns the support which they
should have.
1t Is to be regretted that many of
these so-called agricultural papers are
merely published for the purpose of
circulating the advertisements Of con
Germs which seek to secure trade from
residents OF farming districts TO the
detriment OF the home towns. These
establishments take money from the
rural communities to the large fnan-
cial centers. The thoughtful man or
woman can see hon injurious IL

ton and study TO understand that 10
a great extent farm values are de
pendent upon the importance OF the
nearby town. and that any system
that takes away its business. will re.
suit in a decrease of farm values
Such papers as advise the farmers To
patronize other than home institutions
and which advocate systems that are
opposed TO the up-building OF indus.
tries in agricultural districts are not
worthy of support.

TO THE FARmER-soY.
His Chances Are Best in His Home
Town Rather Than In the Big City.

My boy, the farm is all right Some
times you may feel that its environs
are too narrow for you. its life too
much OF a humdrum. and that you
would prefer 10 be one of the residents
OF the biz city or town. There have
been hundreds and thousands OF 9TH
ers just like you. and with just such
ideas They have started from the

years have regretted their youthful
resolutions Others have succeeded:
have won laurels in the professional
field in business. in craftsmanship,

innate that few can attain in the large
towns.
OF course there are times when YOU
think there is almost an unbearable
dullness about existence on the farm.
Were you a resident OF the city there
would be times when you would long
for the quietness and the pleasure that
the farm affords. Hours Of work may
be long riding the pillow. or harvesting
the grain. but far superior is the work
than that the great majority of the
city youths are compelled 20 follow.
and how much greater the compensa
ton? How would you like 10 stand
behind the dry goods or grocery coun-
ter from morning 10 night for the
small wages that the city clerk re
ceives? Year after year the laborer
lives in cheap boarding houses and
rarely save sufficient to engage in
business. His is a mere subsistence.
