Committees Get Busy.
Tho republican congressional COM
| mittee, as we'll as the democratic. is
busy sending out campaign literature.
Already. the republican committee has
sent out over 100000 copies of
speeches. The speeches that have been
widely distributed thus far as by
Payne. Dalzell, Rodenberg of Illinois.
and Pollard, of Nebraska. The Dali
zell speech, in which he defined the
republican attitude on the tariff and
various questions, Is in great demand.
Representative Burleigh of Maine, had
10000 copies printed for his own use.
Other members have had 1t printed in
liberal quantities, in addition to the
large number that has been printed and
distributed by the congressional COM
mittee. THE democrats are distribut-
ing speeches by John Sharp Williams.
Champ Clark, and others OF their
ablest leaders.
About the first Of July, the republic
can campaign textbook will be is
sued This will be month or six weeks
earlier than usual. The work Is nearly
in type. 1t needs yet the addition OF
the Chicago platform and the bio
graphies Of the two candidates, Taft
and Sherman, It Is not likely the let
ter of acceptance Of Secretary Taft will
be awaited. The textbook issued by
the republicans will be a strong one
from the republican standpoint. 1t will
be a more complete publication than
usual. Every important question of the
last four years will be discussed 1t
will contain a comprehensive resume
Of the work Of the various executive
departments. 1t will contain discus
sions of an exhaustive nature on the
tariff, on currency, on the labor Ques-
tion and other questions. The anti-in-
junction question will be dealt with
among other things. 1t is expected
about 100000 copies Of this Textbook
will be issued. It is not intended for
general distribution but mainly for the
use of speakers, newspapers, campaign
officials and the like. Still, the policy
is never to refuse to send q copy to
anyone who applies.

Economy as a Fad.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was talking
to a member of the famous Bible class
about economy.
..But economy, like everything else,

teller.
"There is farmer out near Cleve-

cry time he drives into town he car
ries a hen with him tied to the seat Of
his buggy.
"a friend rode with him one day and
found out the use Of the hen. When, at
noon, the farmer lunched under tree
he gave his mare a feed from a nose
bag. The hen, set on the ground, ate
all that the horse spilled from the bag,
and thus there was no waste"

Only the most athletic imagination can
conceive Of such torrl1t Of wealth.

Such is our New Farmer.--a man for
whom there Is no name In any LAM
guage. He is as far above the farmer
Of the story books as a 1908 touring
car Is above jinrikisha- Instead Of
being an ignorant hoeman In barn
yard world, he gets the news by daily
mail and telephone; and incidentally
publishes 700 trade journals of his
own. Irstead OF being moneyless
peasant he pays the interest on the
mortage with the earnings of a week.
Even this is less of an expense than 1t
seems, for he borrows the money from
himself, out OF his own banks. and
spends the bulk OF the tax-money
around his own properties.
Farming for q business, not for q
living,-this is the motif of the new
farmer. He Is a commercialist,--a
man Of the twentieth century. He
works as hard as the old farmer did,
but in higher way. He uses the four
Ms.--mind, money, machinery and
muscle.
Neither Is he Robinson Crusoe Of
the soil, as the old farmer was. His
hermit days are over; he is q man
among men. The railway, the trolley,
the automobile, and the top buggy
have transformed him into subur-
banite. In fact, his business has be-
come so complex and many sided that
he touches civilization at more points
and lives larger life than If he were
one of the atoms of crowded city.
All American farmers. Of course,
are not Of the new variety. The coun-
try, like the city, has its slums. But
after having made allowance for ex-
ceptions, 1t IS still true that the Unit
ed States is the native land Of the new
farmer. He is the most typical human
product that this country has pro-
duced, and the most important, for, in
spite Of its egotistical cities, the Unit
ed States is still farm-based nation.
