EHERIT1vS ADHICE.

= PRESIDENT ETERITIyS 4DHICE.
. In the October number of Up-to-
Date Farming there appears an ex-
haustive article on "The Marketing
Machine of the American Society OF
Equity" by J. A. Everitt, president Of
the national association. Mr.. Everitt
talks, plainly and gives the farmers
good sensible advice. He tells them
that it may require years to revolu-
tionize the old order of things, and
that they cannot expect to accomplish
much until the membership of the So
ciety exceeds 100000. He concludes
his able paper by cautioning the mem
bers of the society against attempting
too much. We quote in full the last
two paragraphs:
"The reader will notice that this
plan contemplates marketing direct
to the consumer when the consumer
wants to buy that way. But it does
not declare for such exclusive market
ing. It will be all the producers
should expect to get their price by the
plan that involves the least trouble.
expense and delay. If they attempt
now to cut out the middlemen they
will not accomplish their object in
many years, yes, will say, they will
fail utterly in building up their society
and accomplishing the first object. It
is a big enough undertaking if they
follow the line of least resistance.
The attempt to put the great distribut-
ing houses out of business, in the
present condition of the society will be
like a fly trying to eat an elephant:
the houses will hardly know that any
thing is doing. =
"But we can control the supply,
and, having done this, we can dictate
the terms for handling which will be
much better than to assume the enor-
nous financial and other responsible
tiles of owning the utilities and oper-
ating them. Also remember that it
has been proven that the A. S. of E. s
simple, practical and effective system
can be established, while any other, at
best, will be an experiment with nearly
every chance of success against it
and without the remotest possibility OF
it becoming generally effective before
many years.. 49,

Now comes the story that the ''pro-

formed a combine for the purpose OF
advancing their interests. They claim
that they are greatly underpaid for
performing the onerous duties of at

are persons, male and female, hired
by the relatives of those who die to
attend funerals as substitutes for such
relatives and. weep at the obsequies.

Well worth perusal is the following
appeal for the farm contributed by
Governor Hughes of New York to
Leslie's Weekly:
"When you get out where a man
has a little elbow room and chance
to develop, he has thoughts Of his
own. His thinking is not supplied to
him every night and every morning.
and he is less of "a machine and more
of a man, SO that I do not think that
the farmers need to be looked upon,
or want to be looked upon, as depend
ents of the state. They do not come
to the state government asking aims.
They are self-reliant, they are intelli-
gent. What we want in connection
with agriculture is what we want in
connection with every other field of
noble effort. We want training. we
want intelligence, we want scientific
method, we want direction, we want
the way shown, and then the man can
walk in it. There is no reason whv
the same care and attention and skill
and scientific consideration should
not be devoted to agriculture as to in
dustry and the technical trades. The
men who are running away from the
farms too frequently make mistake,
and some day in New York the
day is rapidly approaching-our
young men, in larger numbers, will
wake up to the fact that they have a
pretty good chance on the farm, and
that they may be to greater degree
independent and happy in life if they
stay where their happy lots we're cast
in connection with their fathers farm
or another which they may be able to
procure. "

POLITICAL PARTIES Essential.

Minneota Mascot: Some of our
friends would have us believe that po-
litical parties are a thing of the past,
that men alone are now the issue.
Sober thought should lead people to
see that this can not be so. While
here and there a man may arise who
is able by his strong personality to
win against strong odds it does not
mean that the country is to be turned
over to these men to run as the y
please. Different programs of ad-
ministration will appeal to and be ad-
vocated by different men, and these
different schools of political thought
are going to rally under separate
banners in the future just as they have
done in the past and no individual
"personality" is going to be strong
enough to force any other result as a
permanent condition. Men of like
thought and like ideas will band to-
gether and parties will contend for
political supremacy just as long as
government by the people exists. And
it is we'll that this is the case, for only
under such conditions will the health
of the body polite be preserved. To
keep up a healthy circulation of the
political blood we need strong con-
tending parties. Neither will always
be right but either will keep the other
from going far wrong. Give us strong
opposing parties, give us honorable
competition, but save us from one
man rule or one man worship.

Anent the car supply for the fa]

Anent the car supply for the fall
and winter shipments of crops, coal,
etc., President Louis Hill of the Great
Northern road, is quoted as saying:
"We have AZ per cent more engines
than we had eighteen months ago,
which means very much larger per
centage of increase in power, and in
the same period we have added 10000
cars. to our equipment. Whatever
congestion there may be the coming
fall and winter will not be due to an
insufficient supply of cars and en-
gines."
From this it would seem that the
Great Northern has put forth an effort
to avert a repetition of car shortage
such as prevailed on it's road last
winter.
