been at fault. Local conditions
may have been such as to have
made it unwise 10 undertake the
work. However, the point we
would make-and we would make
it plain-is that the rural school
teacher is at fault when he fails 10
point out to the country boys and
girls, who are his pupils, the beaut-
les and advantages of the country,
who is constantly directing them
cityward, and whose general de-
meanor and conversation is such
as to make them dissatisfied with
their surroundings. Not that we
would have our boys and girls
blindfolded, not a bit of it. We
would not have them remain on
the farm just because they we're
born or reared there, but we would
have these boys and girls receive
the kind of instruction that would
be of value to them should they
decide to remain there"
Not only is the need of agricul-
tural instruction pointed out, but
thero are snooostinns as IN how IN
interest the boys and the girls in
the study of the soil and growing
things. In addition, there are
special chapters by men prominent
in rural school work, In one of
these Thos. R. Melton tells of how
be introduced agriculture in dis
trict school, aud describes a novel

''Missouri is state of many and

Yet, important as is agriculture,

That was a sweet, juicy shot the
President landed among the deep
waterway boosters at Memphis the
other day. A few years ago,
when the whooping 'em up for ''14
feet through the valley" began, we
remarked that the shippers were
not using what water was in the
Mississippi River and would not
avail themselves of water transpor.
tation no matter how much the
river was improved" Thereupon
the Globe Democrat called us a
back number and intimated that
we did not know what we were
talking about. In his Memphis
speech the President remarked:
"You men of Memphis. the busi-
ness men and manufacturers, are
now shipping your cotton and your
goods by railroads even when you
have the river at your door, and
you are not going to ship your
cotton and goods by river even
when you have a deep waterway
from the lakes to the gulf unless
you know that it will be of profit
to you. You have simply got to
make the river transportation
worth WHILE"
This is about the way any sensi-
BILE person will view the question,
and this shouting without rhyme
or reason for the government to
get busy and dump milliens into
the Mississippi savors lot of the
''pork barrel" With business
men the question of moving freight
is not one of sentiment, but strict
ly a commercial one. To ship by
water means haul to the boat and
a haul from the boat, to ship by
rail, the freight car is run right to
the loading platform at the factory
and. in many instances, is unloaded
without any intervening handling.
Therefore as long as the river can.
not be switched around as convent
entity as railroad track, the rail-
roads will do the freighting and
the waterways will remain idle.
The railroads can always meet the
river rates, plus the cost OF han
ding. Expedition is another ad-
vantage in favor Of the railroads.
For modern methods water trans
portation is too slow when swifter
means at the same cost are at hand.
Our people should do a little think
ing along this line before they en-
dorse the voting of bonds for riv-
er Improvement. The deep water
boosters give themselves away in
their indisposition to use what
water they find in the rivers.

Good For the Board.

Inc State BOar1 OF Health has
determined that the physicians of
the state must devote their time
and talents to the legitimate prac-
tice of their profession or retire
from the field. A large number
of physicians, especially those who
are located in what are known as
''dry" counties. have been devoting
the bulk of their time to writing
prescriptions for liquor. In some
instances they have used no dis
elimination whatever, but have
promptly furnished prescription
for pint or quart of liquor to any
and all applicants therefor. Col
umbia had such practitioner as
this, DR.. Charles Hume, who did
a wholesale business in the liquor
prescription variety. He went so
far as to have a blank prescription
form printed in order to save time
in writing them out. All the doc
tor had to do was to attach his
name to one of these blanks, col
lect his so cents for the service,
and the applicant was able to get
all the liquor no wanted at the
nearby drug store. 1t is said that
he issued as many as 1900 of these
prescriptions during one month.
The Boone county authorities had
tried to bring DR.. Hume to time,
but without success. He was re-
peatedly fined for violating the
law. but promptly paid the fine
and went on with his unlawful
work. Finally the State Board of
Health was induced to take cogni-
zance Of the case a1d DR.. Hume
was cited to appear before the full
board at Jefferson City. Here the
charges against him were heard
and his license to practice medi-
cine in the State of Missouri was
taken from him for a period of fif-
teen years. During that period it
is hoped the doctor will have ample
time to reflect upon the value of a
physicians license. The action of
the state board in this case may
seem little drastic, but it is not.
The offender was notorious one.
He not only violated the law, but
be did it openly and persistently,
in the very face of frequent warn
ings. Indeed, he had been arrest
ed, convicted and fined by the
criminal authorities of the county
in which he resided, but without
permanent result to his better
ment. The board was forced to do
something and it acted wisely in
letting it be understood that it
stands for the rigid enforcement of
the laws. ST. Joseph Gazette.
