A SHARP BEBUKE

A recent issue of the Moderator

rebuke to a number of newspapers
publishers. who take special delight
in ridiculing the farming interests
of the country.
''Some editors are amusing them
selve by publishing slurring comments
on President Roosevelt's commission
to improve rural conditions. They
seek apparently to create preiudice
among the farmers against the effort.
based on sort of false pride. They
imply that the rural conditions are
good enough. and that any effort on
the part of our chief executive to
improve them is work of supereroga-
ton. Such sentiment is an insult TO
the farming community. IL will APP

Is it the specter OF socialism that has
frightened so many OF our leading men
into their sudden advocacy Of profit
sharing? The presidents message
gives ground for that inference, while
Mr.. Carnegie intimates the same when
he says:
"The idea Of making workmen share
holders and dividing a share of the
profits among those rendering excep-
tional service will probably encounter
the opposition OF the extremists on
both sides, the violent revolutionist of
