| David Day-The railroad bluff as to
laying off employer when the crops are
being moved is rather stupid fish
story. There will be more for the rail
roads, more for the producers, more for
labor, more for the consumers if they
will only lay off dividends on false and
fictitious stock.
| j. W. Murphy-The press is the last
bulwark of liberty in the United States.
Nearly all other of our old time ideals
and traditions of liberty are swept
away. 1t can even be said that the
American people have lost their jealous
love of liberty-have forgotten what il
cost in the first place, and look upon
the entire Revolutionary and Civil War
periods as more or less of a Joke.
George Turner-No country in the
world offers such splendid opportunities
for the uplift of the human race as does
America. What wonderful document
is the Declaration of Independence and
what a fine, noble body of men were
its signers! If the American people
were to live according to the Declara
tion this would be the most wonderful
country in history but l am afraid that
the whole human race is deteriorating
| f. j. Turner-We are apt to think
that the grabbing of timber lands an
choice water fronts is quick device Of
the late nineteenth century. In point
of fact, it is as old as the hills. The
process began before the first James.
town settlers had been here year. As
civilization advanced westward the old
struggle between the speculative pro-
moter and the producing homesteade er
was fought out again and again His
tory has repeated itself in successive
epochs all the way across the continent.
DIR. Lowell-We are told today that
man is the product of the people among
whom he lives that he cannot escape
from his environment But on the
other hand it is also true that man to
some extent creates the world in which
he lives: that is. it is the things of
winch he is conscious which constitute
his environment. No two men, how
ever similar thdir state, live in the
same world. 1t is the use which w.
make of opportunity which really
makes the possibilities of life. But
there is another thing that makes a
difference in life and that is the stand
ards men set themselves. The stand.
ard which a man sets for himself regu
lates his interests.
| John Willys-When I was a vounq,r
man and the automobile industry was
in its infancy, it seemed to me rather
foolish that the farmer had to take
hours to go to town when he might as
well get there in just few minutes by
whirling along the roads at safe. vet
comfortably fast pace-faster than old
Dan Patch or Lou Dillon herself ever
dreamed of ripping off the miles on tn,
cinder path. There is nothing like the
automobile for the farmer. Take nv
own case for instance: Suppose owned
farm twenty miles from town and
wanted to find out how much T couId

l might have some personal buying to
do and want to call on a few friends

cause face to face with a man. can do
better business than any other way
II might make a big difference. Now
If l didn' It own an automobile I'd have
! TO lay off whole day and drive into
town. Well, this way I work around
the place until about two O'Clock in
the afternoon. hop into the machine
and in half an hour or forty minutes,
I'm in town doing business-in two
hours or less 7 IN back home ready for
the evening chores.
! II c. Hatch-We are told that
Americans are becoming an extrava-
CANT people. This may be true. They
have more money and are spending
more but after all, what IS money forg
We notice that a man never grumbles
at an increase in the price of Injuries
He will cheerfully pay 800 advance
in price on an automobile and never
bat an eye. but let -four go up ten
cents sack and he will roar about
1t right away. 1t is not the high price
of eatables that really bothers the con
sumer but it is the money he feels
compelled to pay out for what were
