Ten Million Fourteen Year, Old
Boys and Girls Out of School

William Allen White, writing in tn,
August American Magazine abou
our schools and their importance in
our democracy, says:
AS conditions now exist there
comes into the life of the average bow
or girl four or five waste years-the
years between thirteen and eighteen
These waste years hold in them the
real dangers of our democracy.
Ten millions of fourteen-year-old
boys and their sisters-who are really
worth something-are out of school
IN America to-day. Partly they are
out for economic reasons; the family
needs their support; but the state
needs a clear mind in the ballot booth
seven years later, worse than the
family needs support, and might well
afford to pay the family the errand
boys meager wages. But apart
from economic forces which keep the
boy out of school during the waste
years of his life, there are social rea-
sons why he is not in school. And
hose social reasons are his studies
md his teachers, and at the bottom of |
Ill, the selfishness of the taxpayers.

Lest We Forget.

| Under republican rule depositors
could not get their deposits out Of
banks, only in limited way. You
fellows that had money in the banks
were given checks by individuals and
well remembered those prosperous
republican days. You could only
check out five dollars week. The
republican party was responsible for
those conditions. No such conditions
ever existed before in the history of
this government. A republican ad
mlnlstration had full sway, and none
OF it is chargeable to any other source,
but to that party. There has been
more panics and the people have suf-
tered more from financial reverses
from the hands of the republican
party than all other parties that ever
existed in this government, yet re-
publicans claim they produce all pros
perity and good. The fact of the
business is they have made serfs out

ors that belonged to God Almighty, in

averse to assuming claim for the

PASTURES FOR HOGS.

Pasture for Hogs is the title of
bulletin just issued by the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture. In al
Introductory to this bulletin, whicl
was prepared by F. G. King, liv,
stock assistant for the Board, Score
tary George B. Ellis, writes as fol
lows:
Missouri is one of the LEADING
states of the Union in the production
OF hogs. According to the report Of
the State Labor Commissioner, there
were shipped from the state during
the year 1908 1878, 1863 head. II is
estimated that there were consumed
on the farms and locally, during the
year, 100000, making a total of
more than 100000 head produced
IN one year. Estimated upon the
basis OF values during the past few
weeks, these hogs are worth in the
markets approximately 70 millions of
dollars. In addition to this amount,
there were on the farms probably
10000 head of hogs used for breed
ing purposes, valued at conserva-
tive estimate, 8 millions of dollars,
making total valuation for the hogs
produced in one year, including those
on hand for breeding purposes, $7O,-
OOO,OOO."
In the preparation of this bulletin
Mr., King made a very thorough in
vestigation, and secured reports from
several hundred of the leading hog
ralsers of the state. Summaries of
these reports are given, together with |
tables showing the results of hog
feeding experiments conducted at the |
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station.
IhefarmerIwho raises hogs, and this
includes almost every Mo. farmer, !,
will find in this bulletin valuable in
of a practical rather than of
theoretical nature. The table of
shows, Pastures for Spring

Campaign Expense Law.

Campaign Expense Law.
Governor Shafroth, of Colorado,
. has written for the New York indie
pendent IA article, relating to Colora-
dos new campaign expense law.
Ihe governor says: ION the 18th
day of July, 1903, in the state of
Colorado, there will come into effect
law passed by the last general as
sembly which provides that campaign
expenses can only be paid by the
state and the candidates for the vari
Gus state and county offices. The
amount payable out of the state treas
ury is sum equal to % cents for
each vote cast at the last preceding
election for governor. The sum for
each political party is paid to the state
chairman thereof. The amount is
limited not TO exceed 40 per cent of
the first years salary for which the
candidate aspires. II makes il a
felony for any person or corporation
other than above indicated to con-
tribute any money or property what
soever to a candidate or political COM
mlttee or member thereof, and also
for any candidate or political commit
tee or member thereof to receive any
contribution, Colorado is the first
state in the union to enact such a law,
and ! have the highest hopes of sue i
cess for this reform measure. In
my Judgment there is no way of pre-
venting the pernicious influence of
corporations in politics except by
pronouncing such contributions brib-
cry, and furnishing the giver and re-
ceiver of such contribution by fine or
Imprisonment in the penitentiary."
