FARMERS ARE OPENING EYES
They Should Raise Their Own Corn. Hay, Hogs and Vegetables and
 Get Out of Debt.

Somo few of the farmers are get ting their eyes open. but the most of them raise cotton to buy their corn, wheat. meat. hay, tobacco, in fact everything they use. We are one of those farmers who are beginning to open their eyes and see where they are standing. writes Mrs. c. M Fay Tor of Boonville. Ark. in Co-Operator. The farmers will never do any good 60 long as they do as they have been doing They should raise plenty of corn, hay. hogs and vegetables and not buy anything until they have the money to pay for 1t, for when you pay for 1t you are sure to have the money When we get out of debt we will not have to raise so much cotton. There are many girls who do not know how to do housework because they don't have time. As soon as school Is out they are In the cotton patch, hoeing or picking cotton. and some are al ways blaming the girls for not trying to learn to do homework.

SLAUGHTER OF THE GOOSE?

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Protesting commuters are heard on
all sides, but mainly from the point of view
OF the aggrieged patron, so far as I have
observed. This is not likely to avail. But
there is argument more likely TO appeal
TO the roads, for, in view of the reported
tendency to an exodus from city to sub
urbs, probably moro marked than ever be-
fore, it should occur to the managers of the
railroads that in raising the rates of COM
mutation they are injuring to an importany
extent the prospects of doing an increased
business in freight.
Each new commuter means a family
moving TO the suburbs, and each family
moving to the suburbs means the necessity
for Increased supplies, and the necessity for
supplies means additional tons of freight 20
be carried
In this connection occurs the prospective
freight rate increase. Do the railroad
managers figure that by raising their
freight rates they will offset the loss TO
their roads by the diminution of passenger
patronage? or, on the other hand, is it
more profitable for the railroads to do the
minimum freight carriage at the maximum
rate than an enormously increased freight
business at present rates, which rates seem
fairly satisfactory to producer and shipper?
These sudden Increases in communication AMI
freight will put the community back 10 the
very unsatisfactory condition from which
1t is gradually emerging. and seems very
shortsighted on the part OF the railroad
companies TNOTrIRER

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

The Boston Herald" after a thorough
investigation, has decided on the reason for
the opposition Of the brewers of Massachu-
setts TO the new bar and bottle law in
that state. which goes into effect next year.
The law takes from the saloon the right to
sell bottled liquors 1t leaves to the holder
of the first class license the right only TO
sell liquors Ito be drunk the premises -
It's purpose is to prevent the Workingman
who has bought drinks in a saloon from
buying in the same place-frequently under
the opportunities of the seller-bottIed
liquor to be taken away, with which to
continue his drinking on the streets or in
his home. The brewers" says 1.-The Her
aid" were the interests apparently most
interested in the defeat CT the bill. Why
should a bar and bottle bill. whose pur-
poses are as above described, 50 concern
gentlemen whose business It is TO brew
beer? Here is the answer: More than so
per cent of the retail liquor traffic in the
city OF Boston is CONTROLLED In whole or in
part by the local breweries and their busi-

4 CHILDISH SCHEAE.

The suggestion that the Legislature
when il meets in extraordinary session
should raise the question of the Gov
ernors constitutional authority to call
such a session and take the subject into
the courts is evidently the happy
thought Of some two by four states
man and constitutional lawyer We do
not suppose for an instant that any re-
sponsible member will seriously attempt
TO put it into effect
II proceeds from q misconceptl0n OF
the meaning of the words ''on eXtraordi-
nary occa sions." which are used in the
state constitution to limit the authority
of the Governor to call sessions Of the
LEGISLATURE. These words are used to
make il clear that ordinarily and at its
regular sessions the Legislature is not
subject to a call from the Governor.
But even if it is assumed that the in
venters of this new constitutional theory
are correct in holding that special ses-
sion may be-called only when q great
exigency exists, only when there is an
extraordinary occasion" for It. even
then the situation is not materially
altered for the Governor is the sole
Judge of what constitutes IAN eXtraordi-
nary occasion" His action i'll calling
an extra session is not subject to re-
view Whatever the meaning of the
phrase, it is left with the Governor TO
decide whether or not a reason exists
for the calling of an extra session.
When the Legislature meets there IS
cnly one dignified thing TO do, however
much its members may smart over
being recalled, and that is to act upon
the Governors recommendations. The
Legislature must accept them or reject
them and then adjourn. 1t cannot afford
TO behave like a petulant child.
