Not An Age of Commercial
ism But OF Robbery.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

James j. Hill in his recent adj
dress before the American Bank
ers' Association in which he dis
cussed the declining position of
American agriculture, sounded
note of warming which it would be
we'll for the nation to heed.
We are deceiviDg ourselves when
we conclude that during the past
third Of n century We have grown
vastly stronger aud vastly richer.
We would not undertake the great
progress made in certain 6irec-
tions, but in other aud more i'm
portaui directions we have not
progressed. Great cities have been
built during that tina. But what
national strength has come
through the process which has
drawn millions of people engaged
in producing food and clothing
from That vocation, and from the
green fields and pure air of the
country to the vocations which re-
qulrt that others produce food
aud clothing for them, and to the
crowded streets and dust laden,
germ laden, impoverished atmos-
phere of the cities?
Is it an evidence of increased
strength that the proportion OF
population engaged in producing
the elements required to sustain
life, and who are surrounded by
conditions most calculated To pro-
mote strong physical and moral
men and women is constantly de-
creasing? These are pertinent
questions and siiuuld not he lost
sight of in the midst of our boast.

Where are our great forests of
poplar, pine, cypress and of hard
wood? Where is our rich virgin
soil? What is becoming of our
wealth of minerals? Have these
been preserved and conserved.

same demands of our people?
We have more milliouaires, it 10
true, but have We more merchant
able timber, more iron ore, more
gold, more coal, more oil? These
are the things which have in them
selves the elements of national
wealth, strength and independence.
We have been considering ouly
the profit account. 1t is well to
look at the loss account. 1t is
good thing to balance the books
occasionally.
Is it a good trade when these
things are exchanged for million
aires. Mr.. Rockefeller is some.
times estimated to be worth one
thousand million dollars. but is he
a greater national asset than the
oil which be battered to olher peo-
pies for a considerable part of this
fortune?
The fact is, that in many re-
s1ects we have grown poorer. We
have made g.cat show it is true,
but we have been "cashiny in"
and splnrging on the proceeds.
Thirty years ago We had millions
of acres of timber upon which the
woodlands ax had never fallen,
which has been slaughtered and
