This contractor got results.

Some years ago contractor build
ing railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
and his men showed decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal. s.

and in Theoretically sealed tins for hot

Robson County.

This dear old Robson, the goodly land.
She has the clay, also the sand,
And no dearer spot did planter
ever stand.
For cotton and corn she is hard to beat,
And some of her land is good for wheat;
She is the truckers friend, you know,
End ships her goods to a Northern
shore.
For crops in rotation, they are too nu-
merous to mention
Cotton and cantaloupes, corn and cane,
Peas, rice and potatoes-she makes just
the same.
If l was poet tell you what would
do,
l would scratch piece for Robson.
That would fool kangaroo.
Away down South in Robson,
Where the cotton blooms and bolls,
1t would make sick man happy
To ride along her roads.
Yes, good old Robson has her churches
Also her schools,
And lots of boys and girls
That try to obey the rules.
This is not an idle dream,
| Nor an artificial show,
1t is because our country
Is always on the. glow,
Come on fellow comrades,
You are welcome in our gates,
Though we have to hold Robson
| So we can love our State.
| Wherever over this great domain
| l may perchance to roam.

Proper Recognition and En-
couragement.

couragement.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Will you please allow me space
in the farmers column OF your
paper to express my views as to
lust a few points as l see 1t
claiming our attention.
| noticed in some of our papers
where some, it seems, would
like to advance the idea that the
Farmers Union is taking too
much stock in politics. | wish to
call your attention to an article
written some time ago by our
county president, ". S. Cobb,
stating that that was false. Our
president is an honorable gentle
man and | want to vouch for the
truthfulness of the statement so
far as my information goes. The
Farmers Union is frying to bet
ter conditions without antagoniz-
ing any other interest, which is
it's legitimate right. The puz-
zling question to me is why the
masses are not willing for the
agricultural classes to have rep
resentation equal to the other
vocations unless it's an over zeal
for office. | want to say just
here that we have some just as
competent men among the farm
ers as you will find anywhere
and a man belonging to the
Farmers'Un has right to free
speech as much as any one else.
The merchant, doctor. lawyer,
and. corporations have their or
ganization or association. The
farmers have no fight to make
on you; as we see it, you have
this right. We would like very
much to know wherein it's any
more out of place for a farmer to
ta'te stock in politics or hold Of
flee, ability being equal, than to
select them from any other voca-
ton of life. If you want to find
a real practical man, among the
agricultural class is the place to
find some of them. Then let's
stop treating them as lunatics
and adopt the Golden Rule-do
to others as you would have them
do to you-and stop preachingDe-
mOcracy or practice it.
Encourage agriculture. Why,
without it the streets of our cit
les and towns would be foul with
weeds, the hum Of mills would
cease, the locomotives would be
side-tracked to corrode, our
schools would be closed. So let's
encourage the tillers Of the
soil and educate our farmers SO
they can analyze the soil, select
such formulas as to fertilizers as
will be best adapted to the differ
ent crops and soils. It requires
just as much preparation to farm
successfully as any other voca.
ton, so in heavens name let's
encourage them in every possible
way. Farming is an honorable
calling and we hope by the CO.
operation of the masses to make
it more so. All other industries
and enterprises prosper in pro
lotion to the prosperity of the
farmer. So let's lend all aid tt
his success. His failure paraly.
zes all other business.

ties. JudsOn Harmon never missed
game while he was In town. He woul
go to the ball field, shed his coat an
collar and with rolled sleeves wade Fl
and pitch nine straight innings wit
all the vigor Of a Cy Young. In fact, b.
still loves to get out with his old base
ball friends and pitch a bit, ever
though prudes may maintain that thi
is not a dignifled thing for the gov
ernor of a great state to do Harmon
cares about as much for what the
prudes think about him as he does
about the morals of Mars.
Every summer Mr.. Harmon goes to
/ Michigan for his vacation and fishes
and fishes and fishes. He can go out
in the gray Of dawn and sit in a boat
all day and come in at night with a
new crop of tan and a hard luck story
and enjoy 1t apparently just as much
as though he had made a record catch
Of the season. In his fishing excur-
sions he dresses for the part. He puts
on loose flannel shirt and a soft hat
and wears a short stemmed pipe that
works much more constantly than the
reel. On many Of his fishing excur-
sions Mr. Harmon is accompanied by
his little granddaughter, who takes
almost as keen an interest in the sport
as does her distinguished "granddad,"
as she calls him. One day last sum-
mer the youngster landed a three
pound bass, while granddad had to be
content with two lake perch that
wouldn't weigh pound put together.
But ordinarily Mr.. Harmon is a sue,
cessful fisherman. He has studied fish
and knows all about the technique Of
the game. If you give him the chance
he will talk fish to you for three con-
secutive hours, telling you all about
the habits and habitats Of the fresh
water and salt water tribes and when
and how and where to catch them.
But there are other sides to Judson
Harmon. I've dwelt upon the personal
side because that is the most interest
ing side Of any public man. You and
l would rather know what sort Of
socks and hats man wears than to
have his ideas Of the fourth dimension
thrust upon us. But maybe, in conclu-
sion at least, we would like to know
about the views and ideals
of a man so pregnant Of potential po-
litical possibilities as Judson Harmon,
wherefore they may be given.
Judson Harmon is not radical in
the modern acceptation of that term.
Neither, 1t should be noted, is he a
reactionary.
But he has his fixed and unalterable
views on broad public matters-views
that he airs whenever called upon,
views that he insists on presenting |
without regard to platforms, parties or
expediency. He is a pepperish advo-
,ate Of tariff reform and has been such

and put 1t up to Mrs. Harmon. If she
wants the job she can have 1t. That
is, If she wants to go to Washington
as the wife Of a cabinet officer she
may. If. she elects to stay in Cincin-
natl, here we stay"
And so it happens that Mrs. Harmon
really settled the question and that 1t
was her verdict that made Judson Har-
mon attorney general of the United
States.
No more vigorous attorney general
has ever filed that exalted position.
When Mr.. Harmon took hold he pro-
ceeded carefully, as he always does.
There was nothing revolutionary about
his methods. But during the period Of
his incumbency he took stands and
carried through prosecutions and rem
dered decisions that have established
worldwide precedents. And he did 1t
all in that easy, natural way that
marks every move that he has ever
made, before and since his cabinet ex.

general Mr.. Harmon held other pub
lie positions. He was superior court
Judge in Cincinnati and was succeeded
in that position (Which he resigned)
by William H. Taft, now president
Later he became a district Judge, and,
strangely enough, Mr.. Taft followed
him in that position. Then Mr.. Taft
became solicitor general Of the United
States. Harmon followed him to
Washington as a cabinet member,
II don't know whether Bill Taft is
following me or I'm following him."
he laughingly remarked one day, "but
we seem to be moving along in the
same general direction. / wonder If
he won't follow me into the cabinet"
Sure enough, Mr.. Taft did follow him
into the cabinet by becoming secretary
Of war under Mr.. Roosevelt. And |
those who believe in the Harmon brand |
of destiny are insistently confident that |
Jud is to follow Mr. Taft still further. |
However,
Out In Ohio they still call him
"judge" Nine out Of every ten men,
referring now to the man who has
been attorney general and governor
since he sat on the bench, speak Of
Judge Harmon" And yet he doesn't
look particularly judicial. To look
conventionally judicial one must be as
solemn as treeful of owls. Governor
doesn't come up to specifica-
tons in this regard. He has big gray
eyes that are set wide apart, and little
laugh made wrinkles radiate from
them in all directions. There is always
the suggestion Of a smile under the
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-10-07

lashes. Over these eyes are great
bushy brows that really need trim
ming. There is plenty of hair left on
the outskirts of the massive Harmon
head, but up on top 1t isn't congested
to speak of. There are strands of
gray-many Of them-but there is also
much that seems to retain the color
Of youthful days. His nose is plenti-
full and arched bit, and under it there
bristles forth a gray mustache that
looks like the business side of a wire
brush. A mouth that is wide and
straight, teeth that are white and even
and ears that are neither modest nor
retiring complete the facial picture
that is, except the chin. 1t is built
like stone abutment. The Harmon
body is long and lank and loosely knit
"a sort Of Abe Lincoln body, with
long legs and long arms attached at
regular places and way Of doubling
itself up in a chair that makes you
wonder if it will come out without
But 1t does come out all
right, and when the Harmon mentality
directs its activities that body can do
athletic wonders.
Mr.. Harmon is sixty-three years old.
No one not acquainted with this fact
would take him to be more than fifty
five at the most. He is just as vigor-
GUS as a man of many years under
hfty-fve and as fond Of sports and Of
the out of doors as a schoolboy.
For many years he was one of the
amateur baseball players In Cincin-
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-10-07

for many years. He believes the pres
ent protective tariff 10 be not only un'
fair but dishonest. And he has made
many notable speeches along this line,
On Oct. 10, 1909, at the Texas state
fair, held In Dallas, Mr. Harmon de.
llvered an address In which he dis
cussed the Payne-Aldrich tarln law at
length, dwelling upon the unhealthy
growth of combinations and trusts and
stating, among other things, the follow
ing;
II is time TO close up the public nursery
now that the industries Il has fed 30
long are grown, many OF them over
| grown, and have married and been given
In marriage, too,
The people want protection themselves
now from these giants which keep them
| walled I'm at home at their mercy and go
across tho ocean 10 meet foreign compe-
tition on It's own ground.
They know that we have 20 keep on
raising most OF our revenue by taxes on
imports. They wish these laid so as fairly
20 divide the burden among all classes
and parts OF the country. They believe
that these taxes, with tho cost and risk
OF long carriage which all competitors
must bear. win afford the only advantage
American manufacturers can now Justly
have. But they insist that tarif taxes
shall be measured by the proper require
monts Of the government and not by the
demands OF seekers after private advan-
tage. The amount Of public revenue need
cd can always be readily known, but the
wit Of man cannot estimate what these
private demands ought 20 be, no matter
what basis he assumed for them. "A rea-
sonnble profit" would be as hard 10 de-
termine as a reasonable restraint OF
trade" which the president rightly says
Is impossible. And, II Il could be figured
out, nobody has ever explained why the
government should guarantee reasona-
bic profit TO some citizens, while II leaves
all the others 70 take their chances.
On the subject Of state rights Mr..
Harmon is equally vehement. In an
address at the Jefferson banquet Of
the National Democratic club In New
York in 1909 he set forth his ideas on
this matter Said he:
The people OF every state profit con.
stantly by the experience OF the others
and often adapt their laws and devices 10
secure better government but II would
not be wholesome to allow the men OF
other states, near or distant 10 have a
voice In the affairs Of any state but their
own. The individuality OF the states is
what makes them great and strong and
the Union great and strong through them.
Weak states would soon make the Union
feeble, or II would become a government
wholly different from its design.
He believes In an income tax. He
believes in the strict enforcement of
the antitrust laws.
And yet the man who gives voice to
these views is pictured by those who
oppose him as a corporation lawyer
representative-pupil.
II is true that he has been a corpora
ton attorney In the practice of the
law, aside from his public career en-
drely, Judson Harmon has been emf
nently successful. He has won IA
nous cases. He has been conspicuous
ly for or against this corporation or
that But here is something that
should be noted about him:

find out about it and then do the best
1 can. I wish you boys would help
me. You know more about the duties
right now than l do"
Well, maybe that didn't make a hit
with the correspondents! Here was a
distinctly new type Of public official
not one wrapped about by the mantle
Of his own Importance, but just a nat
ural human person who said exactly
what any other official under like cir
cumstances would say If he said what
was in his mind Harmon said what
was in his mind. And he's still doing
It.
But ne carried out his promise to
"try to find out" what his duties as
attorney general were, and the records
testify to his subsequent mastery Of
the position.
The manner in which he secured
that position is worthy Of note Sec
retary Daniel Lamont sent him word
in Cincinnati that President Cleveland
would like to have a talk with him.
Mr.. Harmon went to Washington. He
met Cleveland, and the talk followed.
It developed that Mr.. Cleveland was
seeking some unbiased Information
about a number of Ohio applicants for
office. Harmon candidly told him all
he knew about each of the men whose
names came Up for discussion, sparing
nona condemning none and commend
ing none-just stating facts. President
Cleveland thanked him, and every dis
appointed Office seeker in Ohio blamed
Jud Harmon for knocking" him and
preventing him from sacrificing his
private interests for the public good
A short while afterward President
Cleveland and Mr.. Harmon We're both
guests of James e. Campbell, then
governor Of Ohio. They became rather
chummy on this occasion. After Mr..
Harmon left Mr.. Cleveland made the
remark to Mrs. Campbell that he con-
sidered "that fellow Harmon"
mighty fine man.
1t wasn't long after that that Jud-
son Harmon, in opening his mail at
the law Office Of Harmon, Colston,
Goldsmith & Hoadly, in Cincinnati,
found a brief letter, hand written,
from President Cleveland, inviting him
to become a member Of the cabinet,
with the attorney generalship as his
particular Job
Mr. Harmon read 1t over carefully.
He got up and paced back and forth
in the office a few times. Then he
called Mr. Colston and explained the
situation to him.
''Now," he said, "I'm going out home
