vision" the idea being that revision"
is generally accepted as meaning re-
duction, and adjustment might mean
the raising of some schedules and the
lowering of others. But when Con

from washington, where he had con-
suited with Speaker Cannon and other

Berlin. March PA war between
two women is the cause of the attitude
of the kaiser toward the appointment
of DIR. David Jayne Hill as American
ambassador at Berlin, according to the
latest reports in this city.
1t is reported that i'll feeling has ex-
listed between Mrs. Charlemagne Tow
er. wife of the present ambassador,
and Mrs. Hill for long time and that
the former, having great influence with
the kaiser, has induced him to make
an expression of his personal regret
that Mr. Tower was to be replaced by
Dr. Hill.
This expression, Ii Is believed, formed
the basis for Mr.. Towers cablegram
to his government stating that DIR. Hill
would not lie acceptable to the German
emperor. II is believed that the effect
of the whole matter Will be- TO destroy
any chance of Dr. Hill being sent TO
Berlin. Mr.. Tower intends TO resign
within few months.
Kaiser Fond Of the Towers.
The kaiser is said 10 have remarked
Mt n diplomatic reception while dis
cussing with the Towers their with
drawal from the court and the coming

but they admit that. taken seriously.

No Official Statement.
That the intimatlon that Dr. Hill was

In which il Is denied emphaticaliy that

BRYAN OPTIMISTIC.
Says All Good Causes Are Progressing.
Greeted In Capitol.


Washington, March q. - That the
world is growing better and that every
good cause is going to be benefited by
the onward march of progress was the
declaration Of William J. Bryan in an
address under the auspices of the An
cient Order of Hibernians at Odd Fell
lows hall here. Mr.. Bryan gave as
one evidence of progress the intellec-
tual, political and moral advance which
is spreading throughout the world. Mr..
Bryan paid a high tribute to the Irish
race and to the Catholics for the part
they have played in the affairs of the
world.
Mr.. Bryan visited the house and was
cordially received by the Democratic
members, with whom he talked for an
hour and half.
Asked by the newspaper men If he
wished to reply to the assertion made
lately by well known magazine
writer that he had reduced the bust
ness of political campaigning to prac-
teal money making profession, Mr..
Bryan said:
''There is really very little in the arti.
Gle that could be called offensive. 1t is
true that have combined paid lectur-
ing with political politics and that l
have made money by lecturing and
otherwise speaking in public. But I
have not made nearly as much as has
been asserted. Politics is about the
only occupation that permits of lectur.
ing here and there in connection with
It. The lecture platform combined
with active politics has been assumed
Of late by a number of public men as
a means of earning the money Reces.

Cooperative Enterprises.

Business men understand the
value Of cooperation. Nearly all OF
the business enterprises we see are
made up of combined capital, No
stockholders has so great amount
but the number of stockholders IS
large. The farmers are learning
that valuable point, so essential to
their economical welfare. The large
ginneries which are going up, owned
exclusively by farmers, is an indica-
ton of the education along co-opera-
tive lines Other enterprises are be-
ing put on foot also. However slow
is the movements it is encouraging
Everything is deliberately studied
out. No rush is made.

merely the crumbs that drop from
the farmers table otherwise known
as agricultural eXports) have brought
MIN IN enough foreign money since
1892 to enable him, if he wishes to
settle the railway problem once for
all Dy buying every foot of railroad
in the United States.
such is our new farmer-a man
Tor whom there is no name in anv
language. He is far above the farm
er OF the story books as a 1908 tour
ing car is above a jinrikisha. In
stead of being an ignorant hoeman
IN barnyard world he gets the news
by daily mail and telephone; and in
c1dentally publishes 700 trade iour-
nails of his own. Instead of being a
moneyless peasant he pays the inter
est on the mortgage with the earn
lngs OF a week. Even this is less of
an expense than it seems. for he
porroWs the money from himself, out
OF his own banks, and spends the
bulk Of the tax money around his
own properties.
Farming for business, not for a
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 a higher way. He uses the
four Ms-mind, money, machinery
and muscle; but as little of the lat
ter as possible.
Neither Is he a Robinson Crusoe
of the soil, as the old farmer was
His hermit days are over; he is a
man among men. The railway, the
trolley, the automobile and the tor
buggy have transformed him into a
suburbanite. In fact, his business
has become so complex and many
sided that he touches civilization al
more points and lives a 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
country like the city, has it's slums
But after having made allowances
for exceptions it is still true that
the United States is the native lane
of the new farmer. He is the mos
typical human product that this
country has produced, and the mos
important, for in spite of it's ego
tistical cities the United States is
still farm-based Exchange
