SOME OTHER RAsCALS

Col. Henry Watterson's paper, the
Courier Journal, in a lengthy editorial
attack upon the Anti Saloon League,
makes the following statement:
VIZ take no account here of the char
acter, the evil character, which too of
ten shows itself, in the agents of the
Anti-Saloon League; the idle, worthless
fellows seeking an easy livelihood; the
Ioafers. masqurading as ministers of
the Gospel; the rogues stealing into the
isolated neighborhood to debauch the
innocent and rob the credulous; a shin
ing example, along with many other
lesser examples, of which we have al
ready had as foretaste of the banquet
to be spread before us in the future"
Everybody knows that there have
been few instances of bad men find
ing employment in the Anti-Saloon Lea
que. Everybody knows, too, if he will
stop to think about it that this is neither
remarkable or exceptional. Bad men are
sometimes found even in the Christian
ministry of every denomination and
sometimes even in the ilIustrious profess
sion that Colonel Watterson has so
adorned. But compare the average of
the workers of the Anti Saloon
League-for which The National Pro~.
hlbition1st holds no brief-with the aver
age OF the saloon-keepers and saloon
defending politicians of the city of Lou
isville, and what have you? Colonel
Watterson's mighty vocabulary has not,
within our recollection, been turned up
on these viler and more numerous ras-
Gals.

ADVISING THE FARMER.

1t is now in order for the press to ad-
wise the farmer as to what he should
do, although some of the press could
not distinguish inte1ligently the differ
ence between a crooked-neck cashaw
and a round-neck gourd. This advice
to farmers is permissible under the rule
applying to license of the press and can
do no harm.
What the farmer should grow is a
self-evident proposition, and if he should
fail in directing his efforts to practical
ends he must suffer the consequence.
1t has been demonstrated by actual
experience that Investigation is the
very life of successful farming and the
farmer who is not dependent on others
for the needs which he should have and
grow at home, will not be affected by
panics which engulf men in the cities
into ruin.
Of recent years the farmer has been
taught practical experience from failure
resulting from dependence of one
crop, and therefore he is solving the
problem to success through a diversity
of products. The farmer who would
reap the greatest benefits from his toll
will devote his attention to growing on
his acres all he can for his home con-
sumption, including hogs and sheep, a
COW OF two, horse or mule annually,
tivate and gather conveniently.
The practical farmer who profits from
experience and strives to secure the
greatest return from his acreages will
go ahead, doing his best, regardless OF
criticism or advice given without So
licitation.
