FARMER HOPE OF COUNTRY.

According to the opinion of Secretary
of Agriculture James Wilson, the fin
ancial fate of this country lies with the
farmer. In an address at Westchester,
Pa, on the 18th inst, he said:
1--WE are passing through the most
remarkable panic that this world has
ever known, and yet these are prosper
Gus times for farm produce. The farms
Of this country raise enough money to
build all your public buildings, and in
land waterways and half dozen other
things.
The farmers are the hope of the
country, and the farmers must be educ
ated. Education in agriculture is what
the country needs. The grange, the
State college, the work of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, all these bend to-
ward the scientific training of the farm
err"
Just as long as the farmers continue
to receive good prices for their products
the panic will remain what President
Roosevelt termed it, 1.-THE gamblers
panic AS long as labor is profitably
employed prices for farm products will
remain good.

MODERN DEMAND FOR SILENCE.
German Newspapers Protest 1t Is Be-
ing Carried to Extremes.

How the times changed" says a
writer in the Frankfurter Zeitung an
the days of our fathers no description
of a homelike. cosy room was COM
plete without a reference to the tick
ing clock. It was this gentle sound
which emphasized the quiet of the
place. People had no nerves in those
days. To-day the thought of a ma
chine ticking OF the seconds and strik-
ing the hours is a source OF worry and
distress. Time is going, but they do
not wish to be reminded of it continu-
ally; no clock is better than the tick
ing machine. And now to meet the re-
Quirements of the nervous people, a
factory at Schramburg is making a
noiseless clock" In an article on the
same subject another paper says;
The anti-noise craze has made disa-
greeable and uncomfortable some of the
noises which once were music to us,
and soon we will find a way to silence
the birds and to muffie the sound Of
the rustling leaves"

Sunday Observance.
(Springfield Republican.

It's certainly adifficult problem which
the Saobatarian confronts in attempt
ing to impose his attitude in relation to
sunday upon any of our larger Ameri-
can cities. The average FOREIGNER
knows little or nothing of such Sun
day, and the position of the native citi-
zen has undergone large modification
from the time when people made of
Sunday serious time of church-going
and of reading and reflection at home.
Nor is this changing popular attitude to-
ward the day the result wholly of the
changing and more cosmopolitan char
acter of American urban populations.
/ Changing industrial conditions have
played doubtless a much larger part,
and the closer confinement of working
men causes an accommodating repression,
through the week which stimulates to
pretty broad relaxation on the rest day.
Furthermore, among the poorer classes
of the people in city like New York
very little of relaxation and diversion
are to be found in the home That has
become mere sleeping place, and this
is true also of larger numbers of the
middle class who live or bunk in a few
little rooms dignified by the name of
apartments" and whose leisure time
Is chiefly spent in the streets and round
about the places of cheap amusement.
How the old-time Sunday is to be
forced upon people living under such
conditions we do not know. The prob
lem obviously can not be treated from
the religious standpoint alone. 1t has
become more than such question. 1t
must be recognized as a part of the
great economic problem of lettering the
material conditions of the poor and of
the great social problem of population
congestion in the cities.

A 6iftless Christmas.
Savannah News.)

What would Christmas be without
gifts, without those remembrances of
courtesy and affection that have become
so firmly affixed in association with the
holiday? The Chicago Woman's Club
has started movement to do away with
the giving of gifts at the Yule season.
1t will not succeed. 1t deserves not to
succeed. The essential part of the spir-
1t of Christmas is the giving of plea
sure to others, and as yet human beings
have devised no better scheme for ex-
pressing kindly sentiment than by the
giving of gifts.
AT the same time there can be no
question Of the need of reform in the
matter of Christmas giving. The best
gift is that which has real value; that is
useful to the recipient of it. Millions
OF dollars are wasted every season in the
purchase of trinkets and fol-de-rols
that are actually not worth the room
they occupy. They may be pretty to
look at for the moment, but thew are
without utility. The only possible good
in them is the fact that their manufac-
ture, sale and delivery affords employ
ment to a certain number of working
people for a short while. The articles
themselves, after they have been deliv-
cred, represent only so much money
that has been practically wasted. This
does not refer to children's toys, which
are intending sources of delight, and
are probably worth all they cost. The
pleasure that is bought for children at
Christmas is beyond computation, and
nobody wants to diminish it in the slight
est degree. But we have in mind the
presents that are exchanged between the
grownups. There isn't any good reason
why they should be foolish or wasteful.

A PARTY OF OBSTRUCTION.

Democrats in congress have resum ed
their old tactics or, rather, have fallen
back to their old lack of tactics In
stead Of presenting some coherent, de-
finite plan of currency reform and push
ing 1t before congress and the country.
they seem to be intent on picking flaws
In the Republican management. They
demand an inquiry into the bond issue,
measure which was taken in an emer-
gency, was necessary and will be justi-
fled by the common sense of the corn-
try. They had very much better devote
their attention to trying to do something
than to trying to find fault with what
somebody else has one.-Richmond
News-Leader.
1t is an undisputed fact that wat r
cannot rise above its level. Soft is with
the Democratic party, and its represen-
tatives in congress. For the past fifty
years it has been a party of obstruction.
1t has waited to see what the Republi-
can party was for, or offered to do, and
then has planted itself against any mea-
sure or policy introduced by the Repub-
cans. If the Democracy ever was q
constructive party, it has long since
ceased to be so. The advice of OH
Richmond contemporary to the Demo
cratic representatives to do something
is useless.
