= There is tendancy towards more
farming, which is healthy sign. A
good farming country knocks spots out
of the public works idea, as a
wealth producer. The farmer works
for himself, whereas if he abandons
his farm and goes to digging coal or
working in shop he is working for
the other fellow. We reiterate, more
farming is healthy sign.

Pleasant Ridge.

SpSc'd/ 10 The Ne7US
Well, Mr. Editor, the Ridge is quiet
and nice. There is nobody talking
much and everybody is staying at
home.
Most everybody up here has the grip
or the grip has them
Robert Pickett went to Whitwell
Sunday to see his brother, of course.
Ye writer was in Whitwell the other
day and heard several parties com
planning about paying the doctor. Ev-
cry man who works for the company
has to pay the doctor whether he uses
him or not Every man that has a
family has to pay 81 90 and every sin
gle man has to pay 75c month. If
they don't pay the doctor they lose
their jobs. Looks to me like this is
too compulsory. Heard union man
say the other day that doctor in
Whitwell told him that now was the
time for the union to organize. Bet
ter be careful, doctors, you might get
boycotted if the company catches on.
A Mr. Bryant from near Tatesville
was on the Ridge the other day and

Politics are being talked considera-

want Ed Carmack for Governor, and
Bryan or Roosevelt for President. Ye
writer don't care who is elected presi
dent, if they won't have any more
money panics.
There are several parties up here
that would like to be tick inspector.
Think the committee ought to appoint
a man that can tell the people what
kinds of oil to use as several people
that have used black oil claim that it
don't do any good. Well we don t
think that it makes any difference
what kind of oil they use, as Mr., Tick
will be here as long as there are any
cattle l think the tick law, the dog
! law and the present school law are
frauds on the peonle and l will be glad
to vote for the party that will knock
them out

The Cincinnati Post hardly ever fails
to have a readable editorial They are

This is a sample of one of them and
it's worth reading More editorials of

before the time you were starting for

sion of builders and teamsters and
plumbers and painters and carpenters
and bricklayers and roofers and other
kinds of workmen and they all pulled
off their coats and grabbed some archi-
tect's plans (which hadn't cost any
thing, either) and fell to work so fast
that you could fairly SEE the house
rising up. BY night it was finished.
Then they said:

dumb Animals" of Boston, Mass. ;,
prints this week two articles for and
against vivisection, which received
the prizes in their contest for the best
articles on those topics. Vivisection is
fad certain class of doctors have for
torturing and cutting up animals alive
to observe the workings of the mus
Giles, the interior organs, and arteries,
and other parts. One learned doctor
even devised a machine to drive pins
through a living animal to see the
effect of torture on the blood and
nerves, and complacently called his in
yention Fthe tormentor" And there
are hundreds of cases of even greater
cruelty and what good will result from
it we fail to see. After reading the
articles we feel that the vivisectionists
should be forced to take dose of their
own medicine, and that a certain num-
Der of them should be chosen by lot
each year for vivisection purposes.
This undoubtedly would diminish the
crop, and there would be less of those
fanatics who profess to learn how a
man wiggles his legs by watching the
movements of the muscles of live
rabbit laid bare for inspection.

That was a sensible view taken by
the lockwood miners. The depression
in business had cut off the sales of ir-
on, and the company was at loss to
proceed further unless under decreased
cost of operating their mines and furn-
aces. A strike seemed eminent but
when the matter was fully understood
by the men they decided to ACCEPT the
reduction and go to work. 1t was a
very sensible piece of business all
around The company had sense
enough to state their condition fairly
to their men, and the men had sense
enough to work. with them to keep
things running. Good, honest sense
sometimes counts lots, both on the part
of employer ami employe, but some
companies, like some of their en-
ployes, lack this quality and pursue
the rule or ruin policy. lockwood
will benefit by this display of good
sense.
