cause they are too much assisted by eastern markets in enhancing the prices which their products bring to make such an attempt at sectionalism successful. II is true that at times public questions will be given a local color by what Is thought to be a local benefit as distin- guished from the general and the na- tional benefit. But such attitude is gen orally temporary and it takes but a few years of business experience, it takes but a panic or two to present the most con- vincing evidence that in this country we are all in the same business boat and that the prosperity of one section adds to the prosperity af the other and that business disaster in one section Is only the forerunner of business depression and disaster in another.
 Home in Middle West.
 T was born and brought up in the middle west. I had New England an- cestry and New England associations. For tune threw me out into the Pacific so that I know some of the feelings of the west coast Jurisdiction as a judge gave me a somewhat intimate knowledge of southern aspirations. I feel. therefore, as if I could speak with confidence in re- spect to the whole nation and as Pres ident of the United States may well lift up my voice to protest against any eff fort by whomsoever made to arouse sec ton against section, and Americans against America. Not in the history of the country since the war has the feel irgs between the north and south been more cordial and friendly than 1t is today and a political attempt to make 6 cleavage between New England and the east on the one hand and the west on the other, will be found to be so utterly hope less as to confound those who propose 1t

HILL-CLIMB EVENTS
 ALL GO TO STUBBS
RIDING INDIAN MACHINE LOCAL FAvoRITE ASCENDS 1872 PER GENT GRADE AT RATE OF 54 MILES AN HOUR.

About 800 people witnessed the second annual hill climb of the Indian Motorcy- cle club on the big hill on North Seven teenth street yesterday. The hill Is 107O feet long and an average grade of 1872 per cent and the way the little two- wheelers mounted to the crest of the hill was something worth travelling miles to see.
 Every event was run off promptly. Jack Riddle and Fred Staley acted as timer and starter, respectively. The speed at tained by Stubbs at the top of the hill was 54 miles per hour and this was done on a regular stock machine.
 Stubbs and the Indian won every event and the time was nothing short of mar vicious as he was against machines of the racing type and much greater horse power than the Indian.
 Below are the official results:

Conservation of Resources.

Then, too, the needs in respect to the
 conservation of our national resources,
 the amendment to the public land sys- tenn; the execution of the pure food laws; and all the rest of the important matters that should demand attention make the executive and legislative labor for the next three years heavy enough if our purposes are carried out, to exhaust the energy of the most enthusiastic and hope | ful. Still the world is making progress 1 our country is making progress Oc- 1 casionally one hears a note like that oT | Governor Johnson, denouncing the east 1 and calling upon the west to organize in a sectional way against the east because | the east Is deriving more benefit from
 the governments policy than the west,
 and at the expense of the west It is | difficult for one to treat such an appeal
 seriously. Throughout the country there
 Is free trade of the freest character. and
 due to this the prosperity of the west
 especially the agricultural west is ever
 more pronounced than that of the east

A COMMON EcoNouc ERROR.

For many years it has been the
custom of Southern farmers to make
their crop upon the advance sys-
tenn, . and while this has been re-
garded as an economic error on the
side of the farmer, 10y many mer-
chants it has been thought that it
was a very profitable way of buying
cotton.
The farmer realized that as mat
ter of safety it was better to make
the food consumed by his family
and his stock upon the farm rather
than to purchase it and especially
when he had to promise payment
out Of n crop which had not as yet
been made. / have been watching
this phase of country life in the
South for many years and have
come to the conclusion that the
advance system " is just as great q
mistake on the part of the merchant
as it is On the part of the farmer,
for the following reasons
First, the merchant takes great
risks, which, Of course, he tries to
cover by increased charges. But
even though these charges are IN
creased, the staples of life
are not such articles as high
percentage Of profit will adhere to,
and the merchant Is practically trad
ing gold for a promise to pay. If
the crop fails, he is obliged to car
ry aud carry and carry and possibly
may ultimately, as in thousands of
eases, be obliged TO take the farm,
for which he has no use, and under
holl weevil conditions is difficult to
handle proftably upon a tenant
system.
Under a cash system there viii
be a great reduction in the sales of
some staple foods such as bacon. po-
tatoes. beans. lard, vegetables. hay.
canned goods. corn. ETC., all arti-
Giles that carry low profits The
farmer is rarely a hoarder of money
and if he saves two hundred dollars
or more by producing all his food
supplies at home he has that much
more to spend when his crop is
made, and it is cash.
Under a cash system the farmer
will buy with his surplus more dry

goods, clothing, shoes, furniture,
etc, for his family. better teams.
farm implements, wagons. buggies.
etc, on which there is a much great
er profit for the merchant than on
staple articles of food. The mer-
chant can turn his money in thirty
days, instead of a year. Ten per
cent clear profit turned monthly is
better than 100 per gain received
annually. Some of the farmers in
creased income goes into permanent
improvement to enable the farmer
to produce more and spend more
annually.
Again, there is something about
raising cotton, tobacco, etc, to pay
debt, that saps the vitality of a
farmer and affects the quality of his
tillage. 1t really lowers the grade
of farming. If upon the other hand
the merchants will join with US in
urging farmers to raise all their food
supplies and try to produce by bet
ter tillage double the crop per acre
they now produce. the result as it
affects the merchant will be this;
All business will soon be on alcash
basis and the volume will be three
or four times as large from the farm
ers alone. The advent of more
money will bring diversified indus
tries among the farmers and event
ually will attract manufactures to
the market towns.
If there are idle farms in the
county, instead of calling meetings
for the purpose of raising funds TO
secure immigration, call meetings
to encourage the farmers who know
the country and are loyal to it, to
universally adopt the following plan:
First. provide theil own food sup
plies from the farm. Second, dou-
bic the average product on every
acre under cultivation and let each
.worker on the farm by the use of
better teams and tools, till three
times as many acres as at present,
not in the one crop but in variety
of diversified and profitable crops.
This would cause an immediate de-
mand for more land and would pro-
vide the money to pay for it, This
makes every man on the farm more
than six times the industrial power
he now is and gives him love of
the farm. This is better than to
leave him in discouragement and
secure immigrants TO come and buy
him out.

The old blue back speller, remem-
bered with mingled affection and
execration, seems destined to come
into favor again. The complaint is
loud and growing that present day
methods of teaching do not make
spoilers; that children can write
such words as "physchotherpeutic"
and can't spell cat. The blue back
was at least thorough. From the
day when, with tears and travail,
the young idea mastered 'a-b-ah, ?"
and on through the gradual prog
ress that led past the tombstone Of
baker, and up to the proud mo-
ment when the pine rafters of the
little red school house rang to in
comprehensibility, the boy or girl
who learned spelling from blue back
was q master Of the art. But if the
old speller i resuscitated we insist
that it must not be profaned by any
of the arts of the typographist, IL
illustrator or bo0kbinder. 1t must
he the genuine article, blue back
and all. No elegant product Of the
modern publishing house could have
the same efficacy. Above all. it
must contain the moral stories OF
the wrong OK gored, and the boy
who stole apples. and nothing but
the old wood cuts will be tolerated.
