Ii 1t Must be So, Why Not Have an
Honest Business Government

Government by business may in it.

able to say. But with perfect conf

1t, says Charles Edward Russell in
success Magazine"
First, government by business that
pretends to be something else. as
ours pretends, is most certainly bad.
1T is bad because hypocrisy, cant and
false pretenses are always unprofit-
able, and still more because these
raise pretences are the parents of
almost illimitable corruption, hurt
ful to us all and often in unsuspected
ways costly to business.
Thus. because we maintain the
pretense Of a form of government
that. practically speaking, no longer
exists, business is driven to secure by
the purchase Of legislators, or the
bribing Of police, the ends that it
must have. In the case we have al
ready considered Of the man whose
trade conditions compel him to vio-

from the great deeds of the past yir-
glnia has been blessed, but where
they have tried blindly to follow out
worn traditions the State has suffer-
ed enormously.
Most especially has this been the
case with our agriculture Men who
inherited broad acres and family sill
yer too often regarded them in ex-
actly the same way. They were each
to be used precisely as their fathers
had used them. The crops were to
be planted in the same way, I'm the
same fields, and cultivated in the
same old style. To do otherwise
would have been to violate time-hon-
ored traditions. AS a result the old
State was left behind in the march of
progress, with wornout fields and an
tiquated methods.
A few men are sacrilegious enough
to violate the old ideas of farming.
They are rich today. Their success
has precipitated the revolution now
on between the old and the new. be-
tween science and tradition. The re-
suits Of this conflict are to be seen I'm
our own State. though not so forci-
bly,, perhaps, as in other parts of the
South. In Louisiana and Arkansas.
for example. boys and men have alike
become converts to the new system.
Twenty-four thousand of them from
the one State and 10000 from the
other have enrolled themselves I'm the
farming clubs Of the Department of
Agriculture and bound themselves to
farm by the new methods outlined in
the departments publications.
The work Of the boys is peculiarly
interesting. They kept up their reg
ular work and cultivated, each of
them. a little plot. usually only a
single acre, on their fathers estates
Often the old men have condemned
the innovations and predicted failure
for the "book-farming" lads. New

do in farming. But when the end of
