THE DOLLAR MEASURE.

In an era In which SO many folkt
seem to be dollar daft and money
crazy fl is well to take stock now and
then and reflect how pitifully inad
equate is this quite universal standard
to express the real value and worth of
people and their activities and services
to their fellows. Many a man starts
out in life with this as the only stand
ard to go by and makes a sorry mess
of it before he has lived out his allotted
years Too often following the demise
of such man the question is asked
whether or not he was respectable
honest and decent. He was n Kind
neighbor and a considerate man in the
home, but how much money did he
leave (for heirs to squabble over?
There are tens of thousands Of men
not known perhaps outside their own
families and limited circle Of friends
who couldn't negotiate the purchase
of a $3.50 town lot. yet who In all the
essentials of character and good cit
izenship far Outrank many Others who
could display good fat bank roll and
who drive fast steeds or ride in auto
mobiles. They live cheerful, happy,
helpful lives, and when the time comes
to go they are remembered for the
kind of life they lived and the services
they rendered to those who were
thrown in contact with them. When
the fellow who has taken the dollar
measure for his sole motive for actions
departs he may be the occasion Of a
more elaborate funeral. but public es
innate of his value as a man and cit
izen is already registered If In acquir-
ing his wad he has compromised his
honor, preyed upon the helpless and
unfortunate or sacrificed the respect OF
his relatives and friends. Not what
one has, but what he is and does,
should be taken into account far often
er than is the case. The boy on the
threshold Of life and soon to take up
its serious problems viii achieve far
greater measure OF contentment and
happiness for himself and his fellows
II he keeps the above distinction some
what clearly view.

THE CORN ROOT WORM.

Not In years has the damage from
the corn root worm been so great as II
Is proving to be during the present sea-
son. In the state of Iowa alone ii is
estimated that the damage from this
one source will aggregate close to $2O.-

summer gave promise OF yielding sixty
bushels per acre will be thought to do
pretty well IL they husk out fifteen.
This pest Is the Legitimate result of Il
continuous corn after corn system Of
cropping and seems to be natures pro-
test at a very prevalent agricultural
abuse. The only effective remedy is a
system of crop rotation In which some
legume and the small grains Aall have
n prominent place, as tl:e pest subsidies
when there are no more corn roots In
which II may breed and feed.

or case where a farmer lad thought
he would scare the wits out of colt
by jumping out at it just as it was
entering the stable door. He accom-
plished his purpose all right, but it
was months after that before the colt
could be induced again to enter that
door of it's own free will. Begin to
teach the colt customary words of
command while he is yet young. If
you spend time enough with him he
will learn whoa, back. gee, haw, etc.
Always speak to him in plain, nat

and never yell or scream at him. This
only scares him and makes him nerv-

Dairy Breads All Have a Place

The battle of the dairy breeds still
goes on, but the views regarding the
utility of the breeds and their adapta-
ton are becoming more sane. 1t is
now coming to be more and more rec
ognized that there is place for all
the breeds of dairy cows and that that
place is not quite the same for each.
Thus the Ayrshire does particularly
well in climates little stern. The
Hostens do well where much milk is
wanted. SO of the others. Each will

sideration. If Mr.. Grant had Sc

porters appear to think this mat
ter of politics is governed entire

THE PASSING OF PATTERSON
SON.

Governor Malcolm r. Patterson,
of Tennessee, at last realized the
strength of the opposition to him
in his own party, and, in a long
letter, withdrew his candidacy as
the democratic nominee for gov
ernor of that state. That he has
shown great wisdom in taking this
course goes without saying for had
he continued in the race he would
have gone down to overwhelming
and well deserved defeat, and the
state government would have
passed into the hands of the repub-
can party, which would have been
indeed the worst calamity that
could have possibly befallen the
grand old commonwealth of Ten
nessee.

TARIFF FOR REVENUE.

E.M +HsA3
The democratic position on the
tariff question is forcibly stated.
by an esteemed contemporary in.
the following manner:
Republican spellbinders have
intimated that the Democratic
party stands for free trade. Abso-
lutte free tradeis impractical with
the United States. Every coun-
try in the world including Great
Britain, levies some tariff, and
this country must always do so.
The Democratic position on the
subject is substantially as follows
First: The government should
never collect one penny more of
revenue than necessary to admin
lister its affairs with rigid econ
omy.
Second: The lowest rate that
will yield the greatest amount Of
revenue should be imposed.
Third: Luxuries should always
bear the highest revenue duties.
Fourth: Experience has indi-
Gated the wisdom Of ad valorem
duties as bsing the correct prac-
tice.
Fifth: Revenue duties should
be laid so as to operate with
equality throughout the union,
discriminating neither for nor
against any class or section.
Sixth: Absolute necessities
should go on the free list.
Seventh: There should be inn
posed a revenue duty upon prac-
tically all imports, with certain
exceptions. These exceptions
should be determined by the test.
Imports coming in competition
with trust controlled products
should be imported free of duty.
