the signers, headed by one Mike Mar

opinion that 25 cents for meal of

whiskey is an extortion, as whiskey
has been purchased for 40 cents a

If the rude 1oretathers of the ham

friends who in one way and another
are trying to relieve poverty, distress
and trouble, "send them back to the
farm" There their children may
romp and play and breathe fresh air
and feed on home-raised food chick
ems raised in their own yards, vege-
tables from their own gardens; pure,
sweet milk. fresh from the COW. And
the lesson is so plain that the masses
of the people are learning it. Not on
ly among the very poor, but also
among the tolerably well-to-do. They
find they are nothing in the city; if
they are run over and killed, they are
taken to a morgue, unidentified per-
haps and buried. while their loved
ones are wondering where they are.
Out in the country they are somebody;
they know their neighbors and their
neighbors know them, and there is
neighborly feeling that in itself is
'wondrous kind"
And so back to the farm they are
going, by the thousands and tens of
thousands. 1t is becoming, indeed it
has almost become, mania, an in
fatuation, fad, to get "back to the
farm"
For these and sundry other reasons
there is a greater demand for farm
lands than has ever been known be-
fore. There will be greater number
of home-seekers than has ever been
known before; there will be more
emigration than there has ever been
before. There will not only be next

Der of emigrants from the frozen

for milder climate, longer crop seas
ons, cheaper lands, but there will be
an exodus from the cities such as
there has never been before, back to
the farm
If there is any land in this section
the owners thereof wish to sell, they
ought to get busy and organize some
sort of publicity bureau, to advertise
to the world what they have for sale.
The quality of their land, the cheap
ness of their land, the advantages of
climate, water, health, long seasons,
etc There ought to be some pooling of
interests, some concentration of effort.
some unison of purpose. That is, if
they want to sell. OF course, if there
is no land to sell; if the owners of it
want to hold on to it, pay taxes and
keep it, why it is theirs and they can
keep it. Nobody wants to take it
away from them by force. All they
have to do is just to pursue the same
line of action, or rather lack of action
they have in the past, and they will
keep it. Just let them continue to sit
around and chew and spit and whittle
and look askance at every stranger
that comes into their midst, and no
one will encroach upon their preserves
There are unoccupied lands elsewhere
that can be bought.

BACK TO The FARM.
-CarIna.

Cities are becoming overcrowded.
There is a constantly increasing I'M
employed class. Not because they do
not want to work; not because there
is not work for them to do; but be-
cause they flock by the thousands and
tens of thousands to the large cities,
4and when they nave work live
from hand to mouth, then when work
becomes slack and some of them are
"let off, they do not know where to
go, and have not the money to get
out and look for jobs elsewhere.
This creates a condition which is
becoming more or less alarming; be-
cause hungry people will steal and rob
and kill. When a man is able-bodied
and willing to work, he is not going to
sit supinely still and see his wife and
little children starve. The world
owes him living, he believes, and he
is going to have it. Long-headed bus
mess men, scent danger from afar.
Statesmen not place hunters or
office holders, necessarily, but
statesmen in the private walks
of life, who think of and for
their country and love their fellow
men, see danger brewing in the con-
gested condition of city life, and
unrest and discomfort among the non
est unemployed; and as remedy they
are beginning to preach Back to the
Farm"
II is a good doctrine to preach, and
the sanest remedy yet discovered to
cure the cankerous sore of poverty in
the city, to clean out the foul, moi

Through Europe With Roosevelt. "

One OF the most interesting and timely
books of the month is Through Europe
with Roosevelt from the Jungle" by
John Callan O'Laughlin, Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
This book is almost Kiplingesque in its
strength, ardor and powerful descrip-
tions. 1t presents vivid pictures OF mat
ters which are already historic; the
pages are literally illustrated.
The book has been brought out by the
Chapple Publishing Company, Limited,
of Boston, in handsome style, in their
vigorous and energetic way. Although
there were only few days in which to
print the book OF nearly 200 pages, it
was one of the "best sellers" which
greeted the ex-President in New York
City on his return from Europe. 1t was
selling on the streets, in the subway, on
the elevated and on the ferries OF New
York. 1t is a book one wishes to put
into ones pocket, read carefully and
preserve in the library at home. Mr..
O'Laughlin has given very graphic yet
simple and comprehensive account Of
Colonel Roosevelt's exit from the jungle,
his passage through Europe. and his re-
turn home. The pictures illustrate
scenes in every country visited, and the
volume is one that cannot be laid down
after it has once been taken up, until the
last page is read.
The paper edition is being sold at the
low price OF 25c per copy, and the hand
sOmely bound cloth-covered edition sells
for SOC, making a popular book, at a

Paving the Way to Destruction.
Charlotte Chronicle.


1t certainly seems that the gods
hath made them mad-the Demo-
Gratis of the Sixth district, now rep
resented by Mr.. Hannibal Lafayette
Goodwin. Such proceedings in con-
ventions have not been witnessed in
this State since the war-on the Demo-
cratic side, of course. 1t reminded
Us pretty much of a Mecklenburg Re-
publican convention of old. 1t seems
that the Clark forces clearly had the
upper hand in the regular conven-
tion and that by reason of the rejec-
ton of Goodwin votes. the nomination
went to Clark. There were two
chairmen, police guard, a bolting
convention and two nominations,
Goodwin having been put up against
Clark. 1t is proposed to have the
State Executive Committee referee
the matter, but the Goodwin forces
will run their man regardless of cir
cumstances. That means two Demo-
Gratis and one Republican to contest
for Congress from the Sixth district.
The Democrats in that district have
n normal majority of about 5000.
Goodwin may win out, but the wreck
age of the district will be so COM
plete that it will be Republican prop
erty in the next election, if that party
should care to pick it up.

The Cow.

The following tribute to the COW
comes from the National Dairy
Union, st. Paul, Mimi:
The dairy COW, if able to express
herself in a way which the human
family would comprehend, might
we'll lay claim to being mans best
friend. She might establish such g.
claim by calling attention to the
fact that from her product and from
her carcass man manufactures more
of the necessities of life than from
any other similar source. She fur
nishes these necessities to him from
infancy until such a time as tempo
raj things are no longer associated
with his existence, and she does it
ungrudgingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
mans necessity and his pleasure, the
prosperity OF an agricultural commu-
nifty is more closely identified with
her than with any other of the do
mestic animals. The horse is quite
essential in tilling the soil, but where
necessity requires it the sturdy son
of the cow can take his place, as he
has done in every agricultural Sec
tion on earth. The horse can only
furnish labor and can only return a
profit to his owner when conditions
are right for returning satisfactory
grain crops. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the dairy cow is the saliva
tion OF the farmer in times of poor
crops as she is able to convert the
rough crops which are never a totaI
failure, into dairy products which al
ways have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and butter milk for the
calves. pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which a farm
becomes less valuable each year and
the whole country less prosperc US.
The elimination of the dairy. COW
would necessitate an almost revolu,
tiOnary readjustment of man 8 tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean
untold suffering and hardship. Oh
course she will not be dispensed with
but her value can perhaps best be
appreciated by contemplating such
a loss.
She will continue to b. mans best
friend as long as the human family
exists and will keep on supplying hin
with his greatest needs just as she
has done through all the ages.
