A Sudden Change.

One of the most remarkable in
stances Of a sudden revival of party
popularity and prestige is being wit
messed just now in Great Britain.
Up to a few weeks ago the liberal
ministry was rapidly losing ground,
and the bye elections went so steadi-
ly against the party that no seat was
considered safe. Now all is chang
ed and the wizard who has brought
it about is Lloyd George, and the
instrument Is the budget.
Meeting with a dubious reception
when introduced it is now the most
popular budget in many years. 1t
has caught the peoples fancy, bye
elections now go in favor Of the min-
istry. Lord Harmeworth, the grea.
newspaper man, after posing as j
tory now comes out boldly in favor
of the budget and, to all appearance,
the liberals will remain in power
for years.
That which has wrought the
change is the proposed tax on un-
earned values. The people rejoice

StaT on the Farm.

Telephones, good roads and rural
mail delivery have greatly reduced
the isolation of farm life, formely
one of it's greatest bugbears. In
many other ways also life IN the
country has been made more pleas
ant, and yet there is the same stream
of migration from the farm to the
city. The allurements of the city,
however Elusive some may be, are
so many that it is exceedingly Diff
ficult to check the desire for urban
life.
In many instances the best remedy
will probably be found in shorter
hours of labor, except in special sea-
sons. land in letting the children
have a more direct share in the man
agement and proceeds Of the farm.
When a young fellow toiling long
hours on the farm thinks of some
friend of his who has gone to the
city, dresses well, gets fair wages,
apparently limited hours of labor
and all Sunday to himself, and then
thinks of himself toiling long hours
every day for small remuneration he
is not unlikely to also respond to the
call of the city.
That life on the farm is more de-
sirable and profitable than life in
city will soon be realized by many
young men who leave the farm to
take up his residence in a city or
town. That all is not gold that gilt
ters will soon become apparent to
them after going TO town or city
10 live and engage in business.
They will find that after paying their
expenses that they will have little
money left out of their salary at
the end Of the month. They will
find that they will have to work early
and late and that the pay is not
so large after all, and that the
avenues of advancement are not SO
broad as they thought they were be-
fore they got nearer view of them.
No, young man, stay on the farm.
If you will work as hard and for as
many hours on the farm as you
would have to do in city or town
you would earn twice as much money
and be great deal happier. Think
we'll, young man. before quitting the
farm and taking up your residence
in city or town. The farm today
offers the best opportunity for the
young man who wants to accumu-
late a competency of this worlds

that the rich classes, able to pay the
increased taxes, are to be made to
pay and that through the unearned
Increment. One single instance
throws light on the whole question.
A landlord in Greenock, Scotland.
had a piece of unimproved land rated
at $50 per year. The government
wanted it for naval purposes and
for this piece Of land, the rating
Of which had been fixed many years
ago, the government had to pay
S176,00O.
No wonder the people favor tax
of one-ffth on such unearned in
crement. The same thing will hap
pen in this country before many
years pass sSver our heads. The
Rockefellers, Morgans, Harrlmans
and men of that ilk will not be able
to dodge the tax gatherer much
longer. The party that attempts to
shield and aid them in their efforts
to keep from paying their legitimate
share of the taxes will be hurled
from power and sent to the rear.
The mills of the Gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceedingly fine. Tne
people are becoming aroused and
they will act.

Teddy's Dirty Work.


Some more Of Teddy Roosevelt's
dirty work has come to light. New
discoveries have come to light as
to the sort of service which the late,
but not lamented. administration re-
ouired of the secret service men,
says the Augusta Chronicle. MI.
Heminway. who under a commission
from congress has been conducting
an investigation. has brought to
light some facts that are close kin
to the notorious attempt of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to spy upon Senator
Tillman and bring him to disgrace
just for the qualification of per-
sonal spite, against the South South
Carolinian, which had for many years
fermented in Presidtn ROosevelt's s
breast.
''It now appears that President
Roosevelt, in the hope of coercing
Senator John T. Morgan into aban-
doning his fight agaisnt the admin
istration, set his band of ferrets on
the trail of Senator Morgan with
the mission OF discovering some evl-
dence of a disreptuable character
wherewith to silence and intimidate
him. It is of course gratifying to
his friends not surprising, even to
his enemies, to have it emphasized
that in this effort to set a trap for
Senator Morgan, not so much as
typewriter in the mail box could be
discovered and used against him.
"It is no news to anyone that
President Roosevelt made use OF the
secret service in an utterly unscru-
pulous way, for the futherance of his
personal and party interest but
naturally the ins and outs of his
practices and the full details of them
will never get before the public.
But-to quote from our esteemed
neighbor, The News and Courier
which has a few trenchant remarks
to make on the subject-'enough
has come to light to show that no
monarch, ancient or modern, ever
made use of the spy system to
greater extent than this American
President
Indeed, not through the spy sys-
tenn alone, which our neighbor thinks
has passed into oblivion forever
did Mr.. Roosevelt's hunger for power
exert itself dangerously. The most
alarming consideration which the
contemplation of the astounding ad-
ministration brings to mind, is the
fact that the presidency of the Unit
ed States is an office which is singu-
larly exposed. in more than one d.
rection, to the assumptions ond ag-
gressions of an incumbent in whom
the ego is out of all proportion anu
true relationship to a proper sense
of right and stable government
When men of such kingly ambitions
and over weening personality become
fayorites with the people the greatest
dangers are ahead"

Taking the Census.

The federal census is one of those
thinss that had better be lett un-
done than not done properly. 1t IS
a national stock taking and what the
nation wants is the facts so that
it may know as accurately as pos
sible how it stands on those matters
concerning which the government
seeks information. 1t is a business
affair lust as truly as is the stock
taking of private firm and 1t needs
to be done in the same buslness-nke
way.
Therefore the presidents order
prohibiting the mixing of the census
with politics is most welcome. Ii
is welcome because if obeyed it will
mean the most accurate census ever
obtained, and it is also welcome be-
cause it lifts the whole question
out of politics with all its corrup-
ting and inaccurate features, into
the domain of business.
1t is important that this section
of the country be given full credit
in this census for all the stock that
it has in this great corporation OF
States. Let us take fair, truthful
inventory of aii we have; good, bad
and Indifferent, so as we can tell
where we are at To that end the
people should cooperate with the
men appointed to dc this great work
by answering fully all questions that
may be asked. Let the South have
full credit for what she has done
and is doing, and the only way for
her to get t is for our people to tell
the enumerator when he comes
aroun.

People who are charged with a
good supply of bad whiskey will do
things which they would shun to do
in their sane moments as they would
to put their hands into the burning
fire. Men are transformed from re-
spectacle citizens into demons and
will commit depredations that they
will regret all their lives and the
disgrace of which will follow them
rs long as life lasts. Why will they
40 far lose all self-respect as to
give themselves over to the demon
drink? Young men, shun the blind
tigers as you would rattleSnake.

The busy man and women of the
world are they who have attained
m greatness. Many such have en-

demands of a large family and the

When God stopped to earth ana
placed the crown OF mothernood on
the brow of woman. He enthroned
in the heart a purer, truer, holler
love than man can ever possess.
This thought should be an incentive,
and a stimulating reflection to all
careworn mothers, that while they
carry the real burdens of life. they
possess the real gem that rules the
world-love. How many careless,
light-hearted, Indifferent creatures
have been transformed by the word
motherhood" into beings Of love.

Good Times Ahead.

Evidences multiply that this coun-
try has entered upon a new era OF
commercial prosperity. How bene-
fetal this prosperity may prove to
the average man and his family de-
pends upon the use he makes Of it,
TO spend every dollar as fast as 1t
is made or earned is to face disaster
and poverty in the time of business
depression which invariably follows,
sooner or later, a period of good
times.
The opportunity for providing for
rainy day is not when stocks are
tumbling, factories closing and men
by the thousands are thrown out of
employment, but when prices and
wages are good and employment
abundant. 1t is like the difference
between a ship unprepared being
thrown on it's beam end by a sud-
den squall and a ship in readiness
for every contingency.
This prosperity has come not by
legislation, but in spite of it. 1t
is the result of the great crop that
the farmers have produced, and
which is about to be converted into
cash. The legislation has been In
favor of the manufacturer, not the
farmer. The tariff law recently
adopted bears heaviest on the farm
er, who creates all the wealth OF
this great country. But he has
brought prosperity to himself and
all others in spite of the fact that
he has not received that consider
alton at the hands of Congress that
he is entitled to.
