FARMING UP-TO-DATE,

The agricultural exhibits in the agri-
cultural show call the attention Of the
onlooker to the fact which few enough
of us realize, that Richmond lies in one
Of the most fertile agricultural districts
in the middle west.
But there is more to it than the mere
fertility Of the soil-it is the man be-
hind it all. The Indian lived on this
same ground and eked out his living,
off the products of the woods and
stream with little patch Of maize in
the clearing.
Today. Cleared fields, fine houses
| we'll filled barns, granaries and corn
cribs. That is the work of the modern
farmer.
Nor is all. Mere quantity is not
| enough for the farmer. The process OF
selective breeding is not confined to
live stock but to everything the farmer
| raises.
The wonderful productivity of Amer.
| lean soil is not the only reason why
the American farmer supplies the
world with food stuffs-this year the
country has over a billion dollar crop
There are those who say-the fertil.
ity will be exhausted-the country can
not keep it up.
| But present methods do not indicate
this. The farmer by fertilization and
crop rotation is putting pack in the
soil what he got from it, and is learn.
ing better methods.
Moreover, in those portions of the
country in which it has been necessary
intensive or truck farming has snowr
that the American farmer can pla,
that game better than the other coun
tries, which have had to rely on it TO,
their very life.
What does all this prove! Only THU

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

1t has been urged by Mr.. Bryan
that the principal reason for revision
OF the tariff and bringing the tariff
for revenue only into existence is the
trust question.
His theory is that the removal of
the tariff will restore the country to
atoms.
But will 1t.
Surely the removal Of the tariff will
work greater hardship on the small
Ter concerns in that particular indus
try than 1t will on the corporation,
which controls the largest share of
the trade? 1t stands to reason that IL
the tariff reduction is one which will
destroy the largest. concerns in one
industry that same disastrous effect
will spread throughout the industry.
That the tariff has not much or any
effect on the formation of trusts Mr..
oi Oil VIII hdfS q ndiu tlfue 10 snow
in as much as there are quite as
many trusts" in England which has
free trade as there are in this country.
Further more the Standard Oil COM
pany which is regarded as the most
maligant of the trusts, would not
be affected by a tariff revision nor
would the anthracite trust which has
no tariff protection what so ever.
1t must be recognized that there
are certain trusts which have profit.
ed by the tariff but so have the small
Ter concerns in the business,
1t must be clearly distinguished
that Mr.. Bryan's objection to the
trust Is the crushing of small com.
petitors. Now the tariff has nothing
to do with this-that is a matter
which is due to other abuses. How
can a trust crush company by the
tariff when that same company en-.

joys the same tariff.

JOYS the same tarll1.
No Mr.. Bryan, the remedy for the
trusts does not lie in the tariff but
by other legislation.
The fact is thai Tariff revision is
necessary on certain articles. but not
for trust extinction Trust extinction
sounds well-but it means business
extinction if it is to be accomplished
by tariff changes.
There is no question that the tariff
must be revised. but not on the basis
suggested by Mr.. Bryan. 1t must be
revised to help business and not to
kill it. 1t must be done by scientific
methods and not by crowbar and
sledge hammer methods.
Any attempt to kill business in this
country will be resented and justly.
The excrescences must be topped off
the diseased tree but the purpose
must be to kill the disease and not
to kill the tree. What is the differ
ence in the end if the remedy is as
bad as the disease?
Remedial trust legislation is not
tariff revision and the two should be
kept separate.

COSTLY IS LESSON
HaIer Sent to Jail for Not
Appearing in City
Court.
MAY SERVE AS WARNING.

Florence Haler now is appearing in
the light of the awful example" He
has been convicted of the charge OF
contempt of court and sent to jail. The
Judge added to that a ten-days' SEN
tence and this with his fine. makes
Haler's stay at the county boarding
house twenty-one days unless some one
pays his fine.
A few weeks ago Haler had trouble
with Charles Muth. He rushed over
to police headquarters and stated Muth
had struck him. He said he wanted to
file an affidavit charging Muth with as
sault and battery. He was granted the
privilege. Muth was arrested and ar
raigned. He plead not guilty and the
case was continued until the next day.
Muth and his attorney appeared in
court, but Haler did not show up. The
court suspected Haler might have had
reason to leave the city and ordered
his arrest upon his return. He was
taken into custody a few days ago.
Haler told the court that his mother
was lying at the point of death and he
went to her. The court could not see
why he did not notify the police and
seemed to have a shadow of suspicion
as to the authenticity of Haier's story
1t is a fact that in the past number
of affldavits have been filed, but never
prosecuted, because of the failure OF
the affiant to make his appearance in
court. The judge believes such action
tends to put the court in disrepute and
has determined to use his efforts to
stop it.
