Caledonia Journal: Automobiles
will always be a terror on country ruads
until every farmer can afford to have
and does have an auto running and
thumping and emitting its peculiar
smell in or about his barn, barn-yard,
field or pasture every day in the year
that time, we think, will be many years
| hence.

This slow fire can be secured bv barely

Pittsburg Gazette Times: Local op.
| tion is not designed to extingu,sh tie
liquor traffic in places where the ma
jority wants it to survive. 1t simply
gives to the people, in places where the
majority does not want the saloon, 1he
right to exclude it. Is this unreason
able or in any way hurtful to the So
ciety? The champions Of universal
and untrammeed traffic in liquor Will
fiud it a difficult matter to prove it so.

ceiye what arguments they can adduce
to this end without insulting public
intelligence.

can farmers are in different pusition
from that of the period of depression
in 1898. Many Western farms at that
! time were hopeaessly mortgaged, and
one of the main reasons assigned for
the financial difficulty was the failure
to meet these obligations as they fell
due. Prices were low, work was scarce,
and many industries were suspended.
A great number of farmers we're run
ming behind. Now they are unusually
free from debt, their production is
largely increased and prices Oh the
whole are better than ever before For
several years their chief obstacle has
been to secure as much labor as they
can apply to advantage.
