With some it was the first sight of
the mu oh wrote Of Panama soil and
peculiar and varied we're the sensa-
tions that went fitting through our
mind. The day was quite hot, SO
much so that the perspiration drip
ped while we retained our coat on
The low shore had driveways along
them like unto the shell road of the
Mobile Bay shore t'rascati route, on
ly these were lined with beautiful tall
and shapely cocoanut palms. The
sight of steaming engines and roll
ing freight and passenger cars pro-
claimed that in this far eff spot the
machinery OF commerce was busy as
in our distant homeland. After a
bit our steamer was swung alongside
the wharf and the gangway let down.
Tlen came the examination of the
ships papers by the Port officials;
the putting off Of the mail to the ca
gee wagoners waiting TO whirl away
with it, and amongst a babble of vo-
alterations from hotel and baggage
rooters we set foot on dock. The
Panama custom officials soon riffed
our satchels and we push through
the great throng in which the faces
and dress of Americans, Spaniards,
Indians, other races, mongrels and
negroes variously show.

This one agency-the telephone
has done more. perhaps, than any
thing else to promote the business
and home welfare of all the farmers.
Through all the great mediums of
publicity the truths concerning its
power for good have been told to the
country population. The Western
Electric Company, the largest man
ufacturer of telephones in the world,
distributed instructive literature on
the farm telephone subject throughout
the rural districts. Farmers were
shown how easily rural lines are
constructed. and how great a re-
turn such line gives when viewed
only from the standpoint of an in
vestment. For not only does a ru-
raj telephone pay; there are times
when It's presence confers d benefit
that could never be guaged in terms
of dollars and cents. For instance,
when physician physician or a.
veterinary is wanted in hurry, the
telephone is the only reliable and
quickeI- than lightning m sSenger..
The telephone really increases the
efficiency of the farms.
President Taft is merely emphasi-
zing the stand of Mr. Roosevelt, who
said: IF there is one lesson taught
by history, it is that the permanent
greatness of nny state must depend
more upon its country population
than upon anything else. No growth
OF citiea, no growth of wealth. can
make up for a loss i'll either number
or character OF the far n in G

PRECEDENT OR LAW, WHICH?

The Greene County Herald can see
no reason why the President of the
United States should stay within the
borders of his country. 1t sites the
fact that the crown heads of Europe
go where they please That's so. Bro.
Faux, but the founders of our coun-
Try constructed a republic and not "a
MONARCHY: they gave US constitu-
ton and it is violation of that con-
stitution for the President to leave
the bounds OF bis native land while
It's chief executive and the constitu-
ion should be added Senatobia
Democrat.
Waving the discussion Of the sim
aIIty and difference between the
head of this republic and the Crown
ed head of the limited Monarchies OF
Europe. we consider the question of
the Presidents continuous resldency,
during his tenure in Office. While
no pretense is made by us to lawyer S
abilities, yet we believe We have
sufficient familiarity with the Con-
stitution of these United States of
America, to be able to assert that
its quite silent on that point. Ifonr
friend S. can point US to the clause
on which be SO confidently relies for
his assertion, we shall be glad, as its
our desire ever to be informed. Our
editorial which he challenges only
dealt with the temporary absenting
OF the President from our borders as
a question OF precedent, and we still
maintain that that was the only
principle involved, if 1t should be
allied principle.

A Psalm Of Farm Life.


Tell me not in broken measures.
Modern farming does not pay:
For a farm produces chickens,
And the hens-do they layf
Eggs are high and going higher
And the price is soaring fasts
Every time we get to market
It is higher than the last
In the broad and busy faYmyard
Struts a rooster now and then.
But the shrewd. bewiskcred farmer
Only notices the hen.
Trust NO rooster. howe'er snowy
Be the feathers in his tail;
Pay attention to the biddies.
And your wealth will never fail.
Lives Of farmers all remind rs,
We may roll In wealth some day
II we hustle to the market
With the eggs the pullets lay.

PRESIDENT TAFT ON COUNTRY LIFE.
tBy D. b. Broymer OF New York cit4l


81 congratulate the people Of
North Carolina that, neat to the
state of Mississippi, it has pop
ulation ,aore devoted to the soil and
its cultivation than any Other state
in the United States. You do not
have large cities, and do not think
that defect atal in your civiliza-
lion. The fact is that the tendency
toward concentration of population
in the cities is n tendency That
ought to be restrained. '
Country life ought to be made
more comfortable and attractive.
The pursuit OF agriculture, the pro-
fession of farming to-day, may well
attract the mental and manual ac-
tivity OF men Of the highest educa-
ton, OF the highest educatisn. of the
highest culture and the highest am
bition."
1t was in these words that Pres
dent Taft, in the course of his fa-
nous swing around the circle, F"
addressed the people at Wilmington,
North Carolina. With the facility
OF all public men for touching upon
something locally OF vital interest,
he picked out q subject that is very
near the hearts of the great rural
population. lie was following the
lead Of MS strenuous predecessor in
Office, who focused public attention
upon the farm problem less than a
year ago. when be appointed com
mission to investigate and report on
conditions Of country life. In the
opinion of many, Mr.. Taft in again
awakening the farm life problem.
has hit the nail on She head. .
How TO keep the boy on the farm,
this is but one phase Of the great
question that has so long occupied
the attention of men in public and
land private life. The movement TO
the city of boys born and bred in the
country has always been viewed with
considerable alarm. Such q move
ment if it became too general would
result in two result in two great
evils-overcrowding in city sums,
and lowering the standard of work
Oh the farms.
What's to be done? If you young
people are disconnected at home, and
think more opportunities are to be
had in the cities; il they find farm
work q drudgery and the social life
OF the country lrksome and mOnOto-
nous, is there not some remedy? Ic
remove the cause OF discomfort would
seem the best solution. 1t may be
recorded here that SO successful have
been efforts TO make life oq farms
more attractive and profitable that
danger OF any serious exodus 10 the
cities is thing of the past.
The farms to-day have many advan-
tages that q generation ago were not
known. Most OF them are reached
by the rural mail, the good roads
movement has spread wonderfully.
and farm journals have
their educative influence,
and the rural telephone has organized
the great DCdy of farmers and
brought them to a better knowledge
Of each other.
