share in proportion to his numbers. These have been some of the methods sof discrimination. I believe that with more farmers in the councils of the nation, more farmers prepared to exert an influ- ence upon public thought through the pen and pencil and by the tongue, we shall have a change, and that that change will help to retard, if not to stop, the tendency now from the farm to the town. But what, my friends, is the danger or the concentration of our population in the great cities? I do not mean to say that the causes that I have given are the only ones that have tended to build up the cities Nearly everything that has contributed but these influences have all. when you trace them back to the cause, been operating, and the fact that the 1ar- mer's influence in legislation mas not been what it ought to have been is one of these influences.
 Rebate Evils.
 "Take the rebates that have built up great centers and destroyed the small towns. Why have they been given? Be- cause the farmer has not had a voice in the regulation of the railroads.
 q believe the farm is the great train ing school and l know that the people from the farm have strengthened every branch of business. but, my friends, believe as we get away from the country, as we get farther away from the soil, we are less and less impressed by those great laws of nature that ought to have a. controlling influence in our lives. Man as he lives close to the soil lives close to God. It is easy to teach religion 70 one who sees the miracles performed every day It is easy to inspire regard for the creator in one who sees every day the handiwork of the Almighty and labors constantly amid the mysteries Of natural life. And on these farms we have been rearing the men and women whose influences have helped to keep this country great and to promote the movements which have for their objects the welfare of the world.
 Law of Rewards.
 But there is another reason why am anxious that the farmer shall have great influence. As I have been study ing the causes of evil, as I have been studying the abuses that need to be rem edied, I have found that the fundamental trouble is a mistaken understanding of the law of rewards.

The New Fire Marshal.

After more or less uncertainty
and delay. during which time C. M.
Barnett and Stanley Milward were
both named as Fire Marshal only to
decline. a selection has finally been
made for this responsible Office. w.
F. Neikirk, a lawyer, of Springfield,
Washington county, has been ap-
pointed to the place and has accept
ed, promising to give his entire time
to the duties of the Office. The in
surance companies pay $4,000 a
year to maintain this Office. The
Fire Marshal gets $1,000 and the
rest is at his disposal for detectives
and for operating expenses. Mr..
Neikirk has a great opportunity
awaiting him. Three great raids
by night riders and numerous small
er acts Of incendiarism are still un-
puniskel. In the case of the Hop
kinsville raid. the investigation has
been only begun. 1t offers fruit
full field for further and systematic
work. If Mr.. Neikirk is a capable
man and will use the means at his
command he can do much effective
work here in Hopkinsville. What
Kentucky needs just now is Je5
rome, Folk or Francis j. ,Heney,
a man of courage, of keen intelli-
gence and legal ability, who can
take clue and work it to a con-
clusion, who can see into things like
Sherlock Holmes and execute like
Frederick Funston. If Mr.. Neikirk
is that kind of man, he has the op-
portunity of life time before him.
The Courier-Journal, discussing this
opportunity, says:
The task which confronts Mr..
Neikirk is no easy one. Some cav
illers will tell him he undertakes
the impossible and the hopeless in
embarking on the discovery and
prosecution of the night riders.A 1t
is just because the task is so difficult
and the odds so great that his sue
cess will make him the man of the
hour" Every man who has become
a peoples hero'has won lis position |
by overcoming the impossible and
the hopeless by forcing his way
through perils, unscratched. Ken
tucky's eyes are upon Mr.. Neikirk-
also the hopes of its law abiding citi-
zens."

New Ruling.

Under a ruling recently adopted
by the postoffice department, a great
change will be marked in the sub
scription list Of country newspapers.
The order is as follows:
ga reasonable time will be allow
ed publishers to secure renewals of
subscriptions, but unless subscrip-
tons are expressly renewed after
the term for which they are paid,
within the following periods:
"Dailies, within three months; tri-
weeklies, within six months; semi
weeklies. within nine months; week
lies, within one year; monthlies, with
in four months; bi-monthlies, within
six months; quarterlies, within six
months, they shall not be counted in
the legitimate list of subscribers, and
copies mailed on account thereof
shall not be accepted for mailing at
the second-class postage rate of one
cent pound, but be mailed at the
transient second-class postage rate
of one cent for each four ounces or
fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps
affixed.
"Postmasters should scrutinize
mailing of publications entered at
their office as second-class matter to
ascertain whether the publishers are
complying with the law and these
regulations.
Every postmaster having reason
to believe that a publication passing
in the mails as matter of the second
class is not entitled to the second
class mailing privileges, either by
reason of the character of the publ
cation itself or of irregular methods
or practices pursued by the publish
ers, is expected to report the matter
promptly, with any evidence or fact
in his possession, tending to support
such belief, to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General"

Little Bryan Leavitt Gave His
Grandpa an Awful Fright

New York, April 21.-William j.
Bryan's grandson, little Bryan Leav-
lit, gave the Democratic leader, a
bad scare today. Mr.. Bryan had
gone to the pier to meet the steamer
Minnehaha, on which Mrs. Bryan,
her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Leavitt and
two children were returning from
Europe. When the steamer swung
in at the pier Mr.. Bryan was one of
the first on board. He found Mrs.
Bryan and Mrs. Leavitt, waiting him
on the upper deck. His granddaugh-
ter, Ruth, also was there, but little
Bryan was no where to be seen. A
search which extended over the ship,
from one end to the other, was not
successful. Finally his mother found
him where he had hidden himself
under a berth in his mothers state
room. When he was drawn out of
his hiding place little Bryan threw
himself into his grandfather's arms
and the big crowd which had gather
ed on the deck watched the meeting
with enthusiastic appreciation.
From the pier the family went at
once to the Hoffman house. Mr.. Bry-
an was obliged to leave them at once
to fill an engagement in Trenton, N. J.
He will return to New York this even
ing, however, to remain with his
family until they leave for Nebraska
tomorrow. Mrs. Bryan and Mrs.
Leavitt said they had a delightful
trip abroad. They travelled extern
sively throughout southern Europe,
visiting Italy, Greece, Turkey and
other countries
