OF the learned professions the
greatest opposition to Socialism
comes from the clergy and the
lawyers. The first because they
feel that Socialism is absorbing
the functions of the ministry and
the church; the latter because
with the institution of socialism

cupy small place in our economic
organization. Self-interest rules

and facility in commercial and
monetary transaction, we can not
lose sight of the obvious fact that
they get all their. powers from the
people-6rst from the laws under
which they operate, and second
from the savings that are placed
in the banks for safe keeping. The
best interests, therefore of both
bankers, and those who deposit
their money in banks, will be
served by making laws which will
protect both alike. In Chicago
last week the national bankers as
sociation went on record against
the postal savings bank and the
national bank guarantee legisla-
ture, yet they have every evidence
before them that the people insist
on having one or the other.

they choose, as they did two years
ago, but after all it is correct.
Powerful as the banks are and
able as they were to lock up the
money they were not strong
enough then, and are not now. to
make the people have confidence in
their stability or willing to leave
matters uader their control. The
people want something more re-
liable than the present system.
Until they get it there will con-
tinue to be a lack of confidence
that will draw the money out of
the banks and send it into hiding
every time there is a cloud in the
financial sky.
One of the things wanted, the
one the most definitely outlined
and agreed upon, is the postal
savings bank, where the savings of
the people may be deposited with
feeling of confidence, from which
they will not hasten to withdraw
them whenever there is suspicion
of trouble in the financial world.
This is the one thing the people
are absolutely sure they want, and
when this state of assurance exists
it becomes an irresistible force.
If the present Congress is prevent
ed from taking action by mani
pulation of its controlling forces,
the Congress next to be elected
will have a large number of lis
members pledged to the bank be-
fore the votes are cast. Irresisti-
BILE force does not necessarily mean
velocity, but rather the slow but
all-crushing advance of the glacier.

Seed Testing For Missouri Farmers.
A seed testing labratory for the
benefit of Missouri farmers and
seedmen is being operated at the
Agricultural College at Columbia,
in cooperation with the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The
farmers of Missouri are wasting
annually thousands of dollars in
buying seeds of poor quality and a
large share of this could be saved
by having all seeds tested at the
laboratory. This work is done
free of charge and it is to the ad-
vantage of every farmer to have
this work done.
Seeds should be sent in care of
the Seed Testing Laboratory
Columbia, Mo. For small seeds
like grasses and clovers a table
spoon full is sufficient. For large
seeds such as wheat, oats, etc.,
three or four tablespoons full
should be submitted. These sam
pies should bear the name and ad.
dress of the sender and letter
should accompany them stating
whether purity test is wanted or
whether the seed is to be tested
for both purity and termination.
Where a purity test is desired,
report can be returned within a
week. Where termination test
is desired, it takes a few days |
longer.
The number of pernicious weeds
that are being distributed over the
state in the various kinds of grass
IS, cIovers and other seeds are
many of them dangerous pests and
it is to the interest Of every man
to know exactly what he is sowing.
He should also know the germinat
ing qualities Of the seeds he uses.
This information is at the disposal
Of the farmers of Missouri, with
10 cost to them. It is frequently |
possible to secure samples of seeds |
from the various sources, have |
hem tested, and then buy on the
results of the test.

ON THE SURFACE.

Imagine our surprise the other day
when a certain man told us that it
required no thought, energy or effort
To read and digest the cpitomc of the
worlds daily doings rs contained in
the newspapers of the land: that it was
all hollow and meaningless and the
cream was on the surface.
II there is anything more deep and
hard to- understand than the principles,
causes and effects OF the acts on the
daily stage of life we would like to
know what it is. Back of each word.
each act and each deed, hidden from
view there is some influence and some
motive there is an under-currcnt. 1t
is not the mere passing OF the incident
itself that should interest us. but the
cause and the effect.
The present i, just as deep study
to the reflective mind that strives for
an intelligent understanding as the
past.
To all intelligent minds the princi

our greatest statesmen and diplo-
mats often hesitate.
The surface man takes everything in a
literal meaning.
He reads that Bryan was defeated,
but cannot tell you why.
He reads about tariff legislation and
only knows it hy name.
He reads that the Western States
were prevented from "narting Anti
Japanese Legislation but does not re-
aIlHr the deep feeling of Sclf-preServa-
tion against the "Iellow peril.
The surface man is waited about on
every little popular wave and ny
every little wind. He may ret more
praise and more abuse while he lives,
but he leaves nothing to show that he
has been.
But he thinks different, of course.

HAYTI,
ARBOR DAY.
MISSOURI,

We are informed that Arbor Day
will be observed 10y the school, and
we would like to see the day observed
by the entire town.
We can never have Il beautiful and
inviting city until we make it so.
In the far west it is the custom to-
put down concrete walks and plant
trees before even an attempt is made
to sell the property.
In California the renters of city
property are furnished with hose and
water and are required to take care of
lawns. trees and shrubs.
People back east seem to- care far
less for comfort and beauty than the
people of the west.
What would our people think on
going out into the country and driv-
ing miles along rows of fir. pepper,
ucalyptus, palm. and olive trees, in
terSperSed here and there with hedges
of roses. century plants and flowers?
Would ten-milr drive along an
oleander hordered roadway br in
viting? OF course we must use trees
OF a more hardy nature here, and
suppose all our streets and avenues
were lined with our native maple. cot
tonwood and sycamore, don't you
think it would be more inviting on a
summer Gay, and don't you think the
people travelling through our city
would be more impressed?
Eleven years ago We tried to get the
people to plant trees on the square.
and strange To say, nothing ha, been
done until this spring; but trees
should have been planted on this
square when it was dedicated in lS9J.
Suppose trees had been planted then.
Today they would have been large and
pleasure of them through all these
years.
\ sma II effort ON the part of each
individual will soon make a beautiful
city.
"When we are in Rome we do as
Romans do.
Let few citizens go to work and
heautify their homes and their neigh
hurs are sure to follow.
BY all means let's plant trees on the
square this >pring-it will soon he too
late and lets go To work in earnest to
make Hayti city of beautiful homes
and beautiful city for homes.
Let : begin on Arbor Day.
