Large business enterprises are being
planned by capitalists which means
work for the laborlng man. steady EN-
ployment with good wages means that
the worker will feed his family well,
and that guarantees to the farmer good
prices for his products: the wife and
children will have better clothes. aud

that will stimulate trade. The nest egg
will be for home in the future, that

heading The Ruling Tendencies
For capital concentration
For railways combination
For agriculture conservation
For manufacture colonization
Now have my doubts whether the
first two will be for the best good of
the country, the latter two will un
doubleday be in line of prosperity.
Back TO the Farms" is TO become as
inspiring as was Horace Greeley's
Westward Ho," and this is explained
partly by the fact that the majority of
our busiest, brainiest men of the coun-
try were born and brought up on the
farm, and after firing Of expanding
their energy in accommodating fortune,
they want to see what they remember
in the line learned when they were poor
boys. James J. Hill, one of the bright
est railroad men in the world, because
be sees beyond today and realizes what
the farms of the West can and will do
for the railroads, and for his side also
what the railroads can do for the farm
ers, has in mind plans for working the
soil far ahead of some who have farm
ed all their lives. just read of the
methods of cattle raising in the West. |

lars and seventy seven cents! That is
farming, and it bewlders me when !
read of the crops raised in the grain |

This is prosperity. Fortunes are made
by sharp men, not by their labor, but
in ways whereby the cold cash is taken
from other people, that is not prosper
ity; but the habits of thriftness and
steady work of those same people. If
they did not allow it TO slip from them,
would be prosperity.
A conservation of our resources as
in lands suitable for agricul-
ture, and our woodlands in our own
State, with the wealth lying in the quar-
ries il developed to their fullest extent
would surprise us.
