Hampton, Oct. 13.-"These are great
years for the farmer ;" is an assertion
very frequently heard from those en-
gagged in other occupations, and many
examples of it's truthfulness may be
recalled by everyone. Just ait he
, present time there is a fine farm a
few miles from this town that is a
good Illustration. About a hundred
head of high grade Shorthorn cattle
Craze in a large pasture in which there
is a luxuriant growth of blue grass.
| Large sized shocks of corn thickly
| cover a field free from weeds and
| grass, indicating careful. intelligent
~husbandry. A large fine dwelling occu
pies the center OF d neat, Wellkept yard
back of which is a fine orchard The
farm is a large one and worth many
thousands of dollars. The man who
lives there and owns it came here years
g with very little means II by
hard work and good management has
made himself it's possessor.
Only two or three miles away is an
other farm. 1t produced no crop this
year except one of weeds and quack
! grass. Severa men nave failed to
make even a living on the place, altho
it offered the same opportunities for
profitable cultivation as the adjacent
ones. Several men in this vicinity,
renters heretofore, are this year on
farms of their own, while a number
who have spent many years in farm
ing are now living in town, working at
whatever they a find to do. Truly
these are great years for the farmers
some of them.
After the corn husking season has
begun some record breaking yields
will be reported from this section of
! the country. Unusual care was exer-
cised last fall in saving seed corn
a good stand was secured this year,
and all agree that the heaviest crop
in q long time will be husked this fall.
K. II. Klaus, east Of town, has a 35-
acre field that gives promise Of max
ing IS bushels per acre. The land last
year was devoted to g beets. w.
| H. Harrison northeast of here a few
| miles, planted % acres May IL and
IL on a piece of sod that had been
in pasture several years, n some of
his neighbors have estimated that the
field will average somewhere from so
to 80 bushels. Charles Soantlebury,
west of town, also planted corn on an
old sheep pasture, about 16 acres, drill
ing it in rows 3 feet 4 inches apart.
Turnout the entire field the stalks
average n to about every ten inches,
an unusually thick stand. The whole
piece "a carefully "suckered" and was
given the best possible cultivation. He
counted the ears in one of the rows
the other day, and allowing 100 ears
to a bushel, the field will average a
little more han 103 bushels per acre.
The ears are good sized and remark
ably uniform SO that it is reasonably
certain that this unusual yield is not,
In this case over-eStimated. At 60
cents a bushel two crops like this pays
for the land, even Iowa land, and in
Franklin county.

The stock feeding situation here is
peculiar this year a year there was
a lot of soft unmarketable corn raised
and many fed it all to their hogs and
cattle finishing them with high priced
| corn shipped in from other parts of the
country. This a with a good crop of
sound corn these same men see an
opportunity to get back some of the
none they sent to Missouri and
southern Iowa last year and stock feed
ing here, usually practiced extensively,
will be a SHIN affair.
On the big Mott farms east of town
are more than 1000 head of feeders but
here while the other old-time cattle
feeders of the vicinity who will be act
i've the coming winter may be num-
bered on the fingers of one hand with
some fingers not counted. If nobody is
going to feed anything what is to
maintain the demand for high priced
corn and how high a the price of
meat go before the will quit
buying meat are questions that are in
teresting many of the farmers
stockmen of this locality at the present
time.

A group of men were talking in a
hotel the other day. The subject re-
lated to the coming presidential cleo
ton. 81 am willing to bet" said one,
that if Taft is elected, four months
from the day of his Inauguration at

an excited listener, and that right
away too,' and for a moment it
looked as if a wager was to be con-
summated on the spot. Finally the first
speaker advised the believer in re-
| publican policies to ascertain the exact
date to which reference had been made
and with the remark That's a new n
to me-" the latter decided that he dldn't
care to bet that way.

As a pleasant contrast follows "Ths Courage of Kittic," by Lillian Bell, re. vealing how society girl, full Of grit and humor, cures aud captures diff cult person as ialher.lu-lsw, "The Better Right" by John Morton is a very strong story with a new and ano motif.
 Other well.kuown writers are repre- sonted in this 'ssue,
 The French story by Michel PrOvinS is one of powerful patho, In that eSquis- ite style which has gained for him the laurels of his countrymcn.
 Altogether, the September Smart Set more than justiGes the title.

to sell intoxicating liquors. In Prohibition
states it is frequently far from a correct test
of the number of people actually so engaged,
for the same ''hole in the wall" may have
four or five different proprietors in the
course of year, each of whom pays the gov
eminent tax when he starts in to try to do
business and figures in federal reports as a
"llquor DEALER although his amount of bust
ness may be very insignificant.
But in event law should be passed for
bidding the issuance of these certificates,
that is to say, forbidding the collection of
the tax from liquor dealers who are not law
fully engaged in the business, we fail to see
wherein it would be largely beneficial in the
enforcement of local or state prohibitory
laws. The result is likely to be that the
United States government will simply with
draw its revenue collectors from the districts
concerned and will neither demand the tax
nor prosecute for selling without the pay
ment of the tax Indeed, no ground for
federal prosecution will remain since the
man who is unlawfully selling liquor will
then not be subject to the federal tax and
hence not subject to prosecution for selling
without the tax certificate.
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-13

We very much fear that some of our good
friends who are looking for great assistance
in the enforcement of state and local Prohi-
bition laws by the passage of a bill in Con-
gross which will prohibit the revenue officials
from issuing the United States tax certif-
cate to would-be liquor dealers who are with
cut state or local licenses, are doomed to dis
appointment. The tax certificate, while in
point Of fact giving no authority to anyone
to engage in the sale of liquor, being merely
what it's name indicates, has been commonly
called government license" and has been,
in sort of moral sense, protection against
prosecution. Comparatively few liquor deal
ers have run the risk of selling liquor with
cut paying the tax when it has been asked
for, although it is a notorious fact that the
government officials, instead of prosecuting
where individuals have been found selling
without tax certificates, have accepted the
tardy payment of the tax
AS result, the number of tax certificates
issued in any given territory is, generally
speaking, fairly good testimony of the num-
Der of people who are selling or attempting

In the second place, no vote that can now
be taken in Chicago this spring will settle
anything in the matter. Should $4,000 or
100000 people vote for open saloons on Sun
day, it would mean that that many people
are in favor of law violation. That is all
it would mean, for the law commanding
the saloon to close On Sunday stands and still
would stand. The only power that can re-
peal that law is the legislature that sits at
Springfield. An appeal for Sunday opening

AN APOLOGY TO ROOSEVELT

Our apologies-we almost had said "our
abject apologies" due and hereby ten
dered to President Roosevelt.
Some months ago, when the letter was
made public which showed Mr.. Roosevelt
calling the Methodist ministers who pro-
tested against the notification of law at the
hands of President Mckinley "fools," we
thought and said hard things Now we
apologize-we repeat it, we almost abjectly
apologize.
According to the press dispatches, the
Methodist ministers of the city of Cincin-
natl in resolutions recently adopted, have
presented a memorial to the throne at Wash
ington 1--WE speak after the sounding i'm
perial manners of the day., declaring that
President Roosevelt is ca greater force for
righteousness than all the preachers in the
world"
And this laudation his Imperial Majesty,
Theodorus Primus (who made the campaign
on the booze train in 1900, who keeps the
division" open in Washington, who osten-
tatiously drank the champagne at st. Louis,
who is the godfather of every gin mill dive
on the Isthmus of Panama, who stands spon-
sor for the imperial expansion of beer in the
Philippines and the system of regulated vice
in Manila who introduced the beer drinking
bouts in the White House,, has graciously
accepted with thanks.
Under the circumstances, we sincerely
apologize to Mr. Roosevelt for what we
thought and said when he called the Meth
odist preachers "fools."
After-thought:- If this apology does in
justice to anybody, we stand ready to apollo
gize again.

February 10, 1908

Such men, by the misfortune of our way
of looking at things, get comparatively little
attention in the world; bouquets are not
thrown at their feet; garlands are not hung
for them; we decorate them with no crosses
and we fire no volleys over their graves, but
JOHN W. BARRUs was the kind of man and
had the kind of mental and moral qualities
to make him fit for the highest honors That
stamp Of men are they who hold the bridges
and keep the passes and storm the heights
and hold out on the weary marches and defy
the starvation Of the winter bivouac, every
where in history.
And you who read can hardly fail to be
impressed, as we are impressed who write it,
that what we have said of Mr.. BARRUs, we
might, with equal propriety, say of scores
and hundreds of those who still live and Of
those who have gone marching on into the
Unknown. One of the richest rewards that
has come to some of us who have been in
position to make our acquaintance as wide
as the nation, has been the opportunity to
know and admire the men who make the
rank and file of the Prohibition party, the
men who, more than the so-called '1eaders,"
more than the champions" who have stood
at the 'front.' have made the Prohibition
movement in America possible.
In spite of the fact that we see a great
army Of young men rising up to take their
places, we cannot shake off the feeling of
sadness as the old heroes drop out of the
ranks. If somewhere, sometime, in some
other glorious service, the battalions are to
be formed again, we will ask no higher re-
ward than to go marching on, shoulder to
shoulder, with such men, forever.
