The country does not understand legal technicalities and 1t is prepared to accep. the Presidents statement that MT. Ballinger acted within the law. But long since the country has been able to distinguish between men who are law honest and those who are moved by moral zeal for the preservation of the public inter- est against private privilege.
 l.. Whatever Mr. Pinchot's s faults ray have been they were faults that the heart of the people must forgive. They were faults not disapproved by Roosevelt. He is a zealot battling in the public interest with his zeal confirmed by his sue cessful efforts to redeem the public domain from private spoliation.

 rIUST JOIN THE PRODUCERS

k are said to have been discharged from certain railroad workshops. Men weighing more than l90, unless unusually tall, have been released as street car conductors as too fat to thread the thronged aisles. Men over 40 find it hard to get jobs be- cause they are too old. Men under 9 find promotion difficult because they are too young. Will the world s work presently be done by men be- tween 9 and B, and of medium height and thickness ? And what will all the others do ?--New York World
 The condition detailed above is the d irect result of the tendency o the times toward concentration of population in the large cities and in- dustrial centers -and the answer to the great problem, with all trim mings omitted. is--
 Back to the farm!
 President Roosevelt saw this with clear vision when he appointed the Commission on Country Life, to study the conditions that caused so many people to desert the produc- tive life for the life of wage earners in the cities.
 It has to do also with the action of James Wilson, Secretary of Agri- culture. in ordering an inquiry as to the cost of living.
 The government is more and more realizing the necessity of making tho productive life of the farmer more attractive. by removing so far as possible the features of hardship and the power of the non-producers to live and grow fat by underpaying for farm products and overcharging for those things sold to the farmer
 But, even the greatest of these efforts will not be so quickly effec- tive among intelligent people as will such conditions as outlined at the head of this article--where there is concentrated in the cities such ar over-supply of human labor that the employers are enabled to reject all but the very cream of that offered Those who have lived life that has brought them into direct contact with these conditions, can but shud- der at the fate that is in store foi the hundreds of thousands, who even though strong and efficient fol few short years. inevitably face that time when the arbitrary changes that years bring will retire them from the places they have held. tc drift rapidly down into the helpless poverty of old age.
 Of course, a few by good fortune escape this. but their number is in significant compared to the great majority.
 If you are in the productive class on a farm, do not desert it for lifs where you must depend upon tho whims of others for your bread anc meat. If you are already in thil latter class. study and see if yor cannot find a way to escape it-fol every year will make it harder.
 And here let it be said, in al truth, that there probably is not 1T all the country a section where { man of fair intelligence and industry can more easily secure for himself and family a safe, comfortable liveli hood than this Polk county, Ark No claim is made that it is good place to get rich quick. but soil and health and general conditions favor the class that seeks an opportunity to work. own homes, and have a good chance to live long lives of health and comfort,
