stated that they would solve the problem of rural industrial ed ucation.
 Prof. I. s. Stewart, of the Uni versity of Georgia, in charge of the department of secondary education, and who is one of the leading fac tors in the success of the district schools, relates many instances relative to their practical value.
 "The students of all of the schools are happy in their work, and proud of their school. They seem to appreciate that what they are learning is going to make them useful, and faithfulness to duty marks the record of all, Y" said Prof. Stewart, after a recent tour of the school.
 Mot long since boy drove me out to the school near Carrollton, and told me that he was working at the livery stable at SS per month to save up enough money to attend the district school next September. He said his brother was there then, and that he wanted to go, too, be- cause it was a school where they were doing things. ''

tends to lift the front slab and make the cutting slight, while a longer hitch, causes the front slab to sink more deeply into the earth and act on the principle of blow.
 If a furrow of earth is to be nov ed, the doubletree should be at tached close to the ditch end of the drag, and the driver should stand with one foot on the extreme for ward end of the front slab.
 There is one condition in which special attention should be given. Clay roads under persistent drag gings frequently become too high in the center. This may be cor rected by dragging the earth towards the center of the road twice and away from 1t once.
 There is no question as to the economy of this road-making i'm plement, either in first cost or in operation. Some figures furnished by F. P. Sanborn and R. H. Aish- ton, general manager of the Chica- go and Northwestern Railroad, have revealed the wonders of this simple device. MT. Sanborn said "the least expense per mile per annum for split-log dragging was SI. 50, tue greatest little over S6, and the average expense per mile for 5H miles a little over s. l have lived along this road all my life and never in 40 years have l seen it freer from mud and dust, despite the fact that during the season we have experienced the extremes of weather conditions.

The Agricultural Schools Accomplish a Great Work

schools not only train boys for agriculture, but are no less helpful to the state in training girls for successful home making, continued Professor Stewart. This includes household architecture, home san itation, dressmaking, cooking, the care of sick and other topics with a view to raising the general stan dards of health and morals among the people, Many of these girls will go into the rural schools as teachers, and thus aid changing these schools to more practical lines"
 The proposed increase in fertili- ger tags does not increase the cost to farmers in Georgia, as the fer tilizer people prorate the tax for all the state, and charge the same per ton, plus freight. For instance, the present rate is;
 South Carolina, 25; Alabama 25; North Carolina, 25; Florida, 35; Virginia, 35; Georgia, 10. The total I55, divided by 6, makes . cents the average cost of the tax. Our farmers are now paying the tax, but not getting the benefit Atlanta Constitution.

purpose of bettering the condition of each other and the country at large and therefore we think the first lesson to be learned now is the one that will teach us to quit being the purchaser and learn to be the seller of all this tremendous amount of feed stuff. Our land will produce the corn and hay and corn and hay will produce the meat. With this condition exist ing we could be an independent, happy people, but with the alarm ing figures above confronting us, showing our dependency upon other sections for a living, we are made to ask, "Aint we cotton wi1d?" And even under this state of affairs 1t is a matter for us to get our people to reduce the acreage planted in cotton. These are bare facts and it does seem to us that the figures are alarming enough to put us all to thinking and should be sufficient to convince every farmer in the country that organi- zation will not benefit you unless you practice what you preach.
 To reason along the lines justi fled by the above figures, our farmers this year instead of selling to the outside world for consump- ton will be the purchasers of not less than three or four million dol lars worth for the necessities of life in corn, wheat, hay and other stuff and that too in the face of the fact that our state abounds in fertile land that would produce any ordi- nary year sufficient corn, hay, meat, etc. to do us with careful management at least three years. Now, brethren, before we get any madder about conditions made so by the speculator upon the one hand let's turn our attention to our neglect and To, these figures DOT tend our own destruction and ask ourselves the candid question, When are we going to change the condition?" A careful perusal of this article will, while poorly written, lead you to the light where you can see the all impor- tance of the farmer taking hold of matters differently. We cannot neglect ourselves in one particular and succeed in all. We have con- tended for years that any farmer could raise sufficient corn, hay, meat, etc., to do him and if the figures above mentioned don't prove conclusively that Arkansas farmers have got to do 1t or con- tinue to suffer, we can't read our title clear. Therefore we hope that each community will examine into this condition and through your organization plead with the people to change it and not go cot ton wild any longer. er.-Arkansas Union Tribune

JUDGE SMITH MCPHERSON IN
THROWING OUT DAVENPORT
CASE SAYS MULCT LAW DOES
NOT LICENSE SALOONS.
SIMPLY A PLAN TO
ESCAPE PROSECUTION
FEDERAL JUDGE IN TEST CASE
SAYS THERE HAS NOT BEEN A
LEGAL SALE OF LIQUOR IN
STATE FOR THIRTY YEARS.

Davenport, Sept. 19--In throwing
ont of the United States circuit court
yesterday the petition Of the United
Rreweries Co., of New Jersey against
the Davenport Civic Federation, Judge
Smith Mcpherson declared the Iowa
Liquor law which permits saloons to
be run by paying the so called "mulct
tax of $500 a year, and complying
with certain strict regulations is i'll
sense a license law. The Iowa
prohibitory law, he ruled is still in
effect, the mulct system simply Civ
ing the saloons a defense against
providing, he said shall not be con-
sidered in any way as legalizing
saloons.
No License Law Says Court.
"The compliments are wholly mis-
taken when insisting this is license
system" said the court. "There is no
liquor license system In Iowa, and
has not been for quarter of cen
fury.
For that length of time there never
has been lawful sale Of liquor in the
state. No person today can lawfully
sell liquor as beverage.
Simply Plan of Escaping Prosecution.
"All sales of liquor as beverage in
the state of Iowa are unlawful. Of
course this court will not discuss the
propriety of state legislation.
1.-THE legislature of the state has
the power under our constitution to
oh ~, "a 20 ~,
use or sale Of liquor as beverage.
Under the Iowa law the mulct system
is not legal system, but an abso-
lutte compliance with its provisions by
saloon simply gives the saloon-keep.
ers and clerks a method of escaping
criminal prosecution"
Denies Injunction Writ.
The decision was made in suit of
the United Breweries company of Chi
cago versus the Civic Federation of
Davenport The compliments charged
the federation with a conspiracy and
sought to enjoin them from abating
property on which saloon had been
closed Judge Mcpherson denied the
application for a writ of injunction.
Saloon Tax is $500.
Under the mulct law Iowa saloon
keepers have been paying $500 an
nually as tax with the understanding
that it legalized their sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors and gave them relief from
the old prohibitory law, which is
still on the statute books. The d. s.
ion is the most sweeping ss&W lie
in Iowa affecting the liqur B.suon.

agement of the party.
The New York Post printed the
following editorial in today's issue:
Mr. Bryan, in his Philadelphia
statement of yesterday, showed that
Mr.. Taft's shot Of the day before had
hit the mark 1t has had the interest
Ing result of calling forth an analysis
Of the old Bryan by the new Bryan.
Yet we fail, somehow, to find that full
and frank declaration of the new
Bryans attitude on the old Bryan's
economic vagaries which the occasion
seems to require. Does Mr.. Bryan
still hold, for instance, his former be-
lief in free silver coinage whenever
political sentiment seems to favor it?
We cannot tell. "The money question, .
Mr.. Bryan says, has been taken out
of politics because Of the unexpected
discoveries of gold" what seems to
rankle particularly, however, is not
the charge of silence on his old be-
liefs, but the charge of stiffness. "He
accuses me-" the interview proceeds,
"of being changeable and abandoning
issues and forthwith government
ownership of railways comes into
sight. On this, we are informed. the
new Bryan and the old Bryan are one.
Neither wanted it. 81 do not desire
government ownership" all that he
ever said was that government
ownership will follow If the railways
prevent regulation" Is it so? Who
was 1t, then, that declared in Madison
Square Garden, on August 80, 1906, 81
have already reached the conclusion
that railroads partake so much of the
nature of monopoly that they must
ultimately become public property
and be managed by public officials
adding, by way of broader elucidation,
Il prefer to see only the trunk lines
operated by the federal government
and the local lines by the several
state governments" If this was the
language Of statesman shaken with
regret at a catastrophe which he felt
himself helpless to avert, one must
admit that the words were singularly
i'll chosen.
