HOme-Made Philosophy.

In breaking off a few chunk Of
homemade philosophy for the Caro-
lima Union Farmer, you Uncle Silas
is fully aware that higher critics may
make him feel like Is cents. but he
has decided to aunch out into an I'M
tried literary field and risk the con-
sequences. If the reader finds any
thing in this department that does not
sound like good philosophy ne is cor
daily invited to call it near-philOso-
ply.
Somebody has put it in the papers
that farmers are getting to be real
respectable folks since the era Of high
prices has hit US, and some Of the
city papers nave put out the report
that farmers are actually getting rich.
Since that report got circulated | have
been watching the farm papers to see
if the summer resort hotels wouldn't
take all the advertising space the farm
papers have to sell, in the effort to get
the patronage Of the rich farmers at
these places of leisure and luxury, but
somehow, the advertisements of sum
mer resorts have thus far failed to
appear and III Uncle Silas feels
sorely disappointed. And then when
he turns through the advertising col
umns of his farm papers to see il
farmers are advertising for servants.
he signs again with disappointment.
The automobile manufacturers have
already failed to embrace the oppor-
tunity Of giving publicity to their bus
mess through the papers that reach
the folks that are getting rich!
The other day I carried a ham and
some egs to town to sell and I got Is
cents a dozen for eggs and 20 cents
a pound for the ham A well-dressed
citizen of the town had a long argu-
ment with mo about the good time
farmers are having and the big profits
that are coming their way. I listened
until / was hungry and I went down to
wich and two eggs The ham was
sliced as thin as possible and then
sliced again. so that q pound OF lam
Would make about IS sandwiches The
waiter charged me ten cents for the
sandwich, or at the rate of 50 a pound
for the ham, I paid 7 IL cents each
for the eggs which I had Just sold at
l IL cents each. The poor fellow
who raised the flour from which the
2-cent loaf was made got 1 IL cents
and the other fellows got the differ
ence. When / went away I felt like L
ou1d lick the stuf1n' out of the rascal
who first circulated the report that
cost of living.
When I drove out Of town I passed
the home of the well-dressed town cit
itizen who APPARENTLY had nothing to
do except try to convince m that
they are getting the lions share Of this
worlds goods. His wife was going
out for her usual evening calls" and
in her yard were two servants-a
and a nurse. When I got home
I found my wife all broken down from

new garments for the children, sweep
ing the yards. cleaning up the house

Children Of European birth who were
old enough to receive some instruction
IN geography before coming to this
country hold opinions In regard to the
political divisions of the earth which
AL the American geographers and the
teachers thereof combined cannot up-
root. A New York teacher found that

young Austrian miss that Columbus Is
the capital Of Ohio.
1T Is Cincinnati, on the Ohio" re-
torted the Austrian maiden politely,
but firmly.
Maps and printed text were produced
TO prove her error. The pupil was In
nowise convinced
1T wasn't that way In our geogra-
ply at home" said she. And the next
day, to uphold her contention, she
brought the geography on which she
based her assertion. That book was
not perfect product Of the geography

that Cincinnati, on the Ohio river, was

The action of Police Justice Harris in
sustaining the motion to dismiss the
case against Dave Bronson, who was
arrested on a charge of having violated
the automobile ordinance, the complaint
having been made by G. ID. Peterson,
unless the complaining witness put up
the bonds for costs, cannot help but
meet with the appreciation of all JUS
tice-loving people. Mr.. Peterson did
not make the complaint because he
desired to see the ordinance enforced
for its own sake, but on the contrary
he made the complaint in a spirit of
vindictiveness and with desire only to
get some one else into trouble, as he
had been compelled to pay fine the
day before for first violation of the
ordinance and upon proper conviction.
We believe in the upholding and enforc-
ing of all laws, but we do not approve
of issuing warrants to crafty the per-
sonal spite or petty meanness of any
person. The law is not weapon to be
used by parties for getting even,"
and when an attempt is made to so
employ it, the complaining witness
should be compelled to put up bonds for
costs and if naught comes out of the
complaint he should be compelled to pay
the costs, and really there should be
some other penalty. Again we say we
approve of the ruling of Justice Harris
and hope he win so continue to con-
duct his Office. Were there more bonds
required for costs there would be many
less prosecutions which terminate in
verdicts of mot Guilty" with the costs
charged to the taxpayers of the county.

The people Of South Dakota generally
have been very much surprised since
the song of the threshing machine has
commenced to be heard throughout the
state, but il is an agreeable surprise,

better than were expected, and that

The democrats of the country are
pointing with a great deal of satisfac-
ton to the action of the alleged repub-
hcan convention which was held in
DesMoines, Iowa, two weeks since. The
temporary chairman was A. B. Cum
minis and the permanent chairman was
j. p. Dolliver. The resolutions commit
tee was appointed by Cummins and
Deliver and in yelled way roasted
President Taft. Five-elevenths of the
members of the committee asked for
permission to vote upon the resolutions
singly and upon the platform by planks
but Chairman Dolliver refused to enter
tain such motion. Verify, the progress
sives of Iowa seem inclined to apply
the gag rule when they hold the win
ming hand by very slight majority.
Fear is expressed in many quarters
that the action of the state convention
will put Iowa in the democratic column
this fall, as the party seems split
beyond any hope of compromise that
can bring victory.

the opinion that the laws relative to
