The Poor Farmer.

The presidents action in appoint
ing commission upon the amelio-
alton of the condition of the farmer
is about the first intimation which
many persons have had that the
farmer is particularly needy or
downtrodden. Hosts of men have
been envying him his prosperity
and freedom during hard times. 1t
would be unfortunate if the presi-
dents letter upon this subject
should give the impression abroad
that the American farmer is a pow
erty-stricken peasant.
If there is any class of citizens
which needs sympathy it is the
farmers, adds the Abilene Reflec-
tor. Their condition is truly sad.
They have nothing in which to
live but large, handsomeahou
Nothing for furniture except up
to-date fixings, with pianos on the
side.
No way 20 talk to their neiehbors
except by telephone.
No way to get mail except by
daily rural delivery.
No way to come to town except
in rubber-tired buggies or in auto
mobiles.
No way to pay their debts ex-
cept by checks on their bank ac-
counts.
No way to get more money ex-
cept by selling some Of the alfalfa
or wheat or stock on hand.
No way to take a bath except in
a porcelain bath tub.
No way to heat their dwellings
except by furnaces.
No pleasure in travel except one
or two trips to the east or to Cali
ifornia each year.
No prospect in the future to es-
cape becoming plutocrats and CAPT
talists except by dying or giving
away their property.
By all means let US do some.
thing to ameliorate the condition Of
the farmer. Quincy Herald.

up-to-date New York aristocrat.
