From The Daily Item, June 26.
The Y. Nj. G. A. Building Campaign
was formally launched last night with
a dinner in the armory hall. There
were in the neighborhood of two
hundred men in attendance, with a
large number Of ladies serving.
The hall vas beautifully decorated
with coloreJ streamers and bunting
and cut flowers, and on the tables
were lighted candles put there origi-
nally as ornaments, but before the
evening was over they became very
useful. During the storm that broke
upon the town soon after the ban
queters assembled around the festive
board, tightening struck the wires,
and for an hour the building would
have been in darkness but for the
light from the candles. AS 1t was,
the speakers went on as if nothing
had happened.

toast master, and before introducing
the speakers he took occasion to pay
deserved tribute to the ladies serv-
ing and offered three cheers to the
ladies, which was responded to hear
tily by the men present.
He referred to the several attrac-
tions of the week and trials through
which the committees had to go to
make the dinner the success it was,
and referred to the affair last night
as the grand climax. This campaign
is one that shows the Sumter spirit,
which has been called the altogether
spirit. 1t is a campaign for men and
for money and it delighted him to
see working in this campaign men of
every religious belief and Of all call
ings He introduced as the first
speaker,
| Hon. w. j. Montgomery
of Marion, who thinks that the
Sumter spirit will take care of itself
without any Interference from the
outside. He took as his text an ut
terance of Judge DeSessaure, made in
1916: 1.-The only sure foundation of
the country is the vartue of the citi-
zens."
when the home on the plantation was
the unit, with the present, which is
| cooperative age. He spoke Of the
Association as an economic enterprise.
All the larger corporations are appro-
priating large sums of money land all
cities of any pretense are spending
equipped buildings.
| What kind Of an asset is a young
man." he asked, and said that If you
want men of character, you must put
your hands into your pockets and put
yourselves into the movement. No
people can be any better than their
ideals 1t pays to invest in high
class citizenship. He said that if any

ciates. Many a boy has left the
country to so to town. and has sought
the club of his fancy. or the one
whose door was open to him, and IL
many cases it was such a place as TIE
parents would not like to follow him.
The Association seeks to give the
young man in the city a club to go
to where the influences will be the
best.
He said that in the very near fu-
ture the mark of the modern city
would be the class of the Association
in it, just as now the class Of its pub
lie schools is the mark, and the on
ponents of the Associations will be as
few as the opponents of public
schools are now. He said that in Co
lumbia when the campaign was
launched there were some who
thought the present Association
building was sufficient but before
the campaign closed there was not a
kicker, nor a knocker, but all were
united and Columbia had found a Co.
lumbia spirit.
Mr.. NJ. c. Williams,
the expert in charge of the campaign
was next introduced. He spoke of
the plan that had ben adopted here,
plan that has worked very success
full in great many places, hundreds
of thousands being raised for build
ings throughout this country. There
is no patent upon the plan, and it
has been used by other enterprises.
Such campaigns as this create civic
pride and are always the opening
wedges that make possible higher
and better things. He announced
that already there are six citizens
who have promised to contribute not
less than $1,000 each to the building
fund.
Prof. ID. w. Daniel.
of Clemson College, was the next
speaker. His address was both witty
and telling in effect. Ha said the
cry Of the day was the conservation
of the natural resources If the coun-
try, and it seemed sometimes that the
trees of the country are of more i'm
portance than the young men. He re-
ferred to the value of the Association
to community. AS evidence the
large corporations are spending thou
sands annually in Associations and AS
sociation buildings. The Associations
will increase the efficiency Of every
young man in the town. It will beget
loyalty and civic pride as nothing else
will. The men who amount to any,
thing in this world are the ones who
hold loyalty and fidelity above all
else. 1t teaches public spiritedness
and develops unselfish public SER
wants, and teaches every man that
every other man is his brother. It is
strong factor in character building,
guarding the young man in the un-
garded moments when temptations
are hardest to resist. When a young
man comes to town, leaving the home
and loving parents, the Association
is in a sense in loco PARENTS. For
these men it aids in forming right
ideals.

raise sheep. for they benefit by the
tariff OF II cents per pound on wool
But there were in 1909 only 747,00C
sheep in Iowa (see yearbook of the
department of agriculture, page 1900,
and the number is decreasing; for, &C
/ cording TO the same authority, there
were 100000 sheep of shearing age in
| 1908 Csee page 1922, which shows a re-
duction of $4,000 in one year.
In these same official statistics The
price of sheep on the farm appears TO
be declining; for in 1908 the average
price in the United States is quoted at
Sass per head, while in 1909 the price
had declined to $3.43 (see page 1890.
This does not indicate that the farm
ers are getting their share of the pros
perity which the republicans assure US
is due to the protective tariff. Even
/ their sheep and wool on which they
are protected do not seem TO be adding
to their prosperity and on nothing else
than wool is the Iowa farmer really
protected by the tariff.
The price of wool has declined since
the passage of the new tariff law, al
Z
wool and woolens was not changed.
At St. Louis the highest price reached
in January. 1908, for best tub-washed
was SO cents a pound, while during
December of the same year the price
fell TO % cents per pound. There are
no later government statistics publish
ed. but the Daily Herald of Quincy,
H., Nov. 4, 1910. in its market report
OF the price OF hides and wool says:
"Wool-Although prices are not ad-
vancing just yet, the market is toning
up. There is a better demand and the
general feeling is better.
Bright wool-21c to 23c per pound.
Clothing wool-1Sc to zoe per
pound
Western and inferior grades-16c to
19c per pound"
While the Iowa farmer has been
having good crops and getting good
prices for them during the past few
years, the cost of living has advanced
over 60 per cent with him as with
every dweller in the cities, and those
who have rented farms have had their
rent raised as the price of land in
creased. These Iowa farmers who
have emigrated-probably mostly ten
ants-have evidently not been very
prosperous, or they would not leave
their homes and their neighbOrs and
their friends to go to new countries
and begin all over again with all the
hardships of frontier life. No wonder
that in Iowa and in all the western
states where similar conditions pre-
vail there has been a general demand
for tariff revision downward, for it is
very evident that protection does not
protect the farmer, but plumbers him.

Wondering at this show of feeling

the lady to a place where a set was
forming for the minuet and there was
a place vacant. We occupied it. The
music started up, and we began to
dance. What surprised me was that l.

= At his home in Warwick, Joseph

cters.
y A little over a decade ago Mr.. Arch
was numbered among the most prom
inent men in England, owing to the
large part he had taken in labor agi-
tation and in the amelioration of the
conditions of the English farm labor
er. He first came into prominence in
-the early 70's by originating an agri-
cultural laborers' union, which be
came one of the strongest labor or
CARNATIONS in the country and almost
Completely revolutionized the condi-
ton of the farm hand. who was then
little more than a serf.
/ Mr.. Arch was born farm laborer
I in Warwickshire. He married the
daughter Of mechanic and was wont
to spend his nights reading books at
his fireside while smoking his pipe. 1t
was at his wife's suggestion that he
studied. In this way he acquired
some knowledge of logic, mensuration
and surveying. In 1872 he founded
the National Agricultural Laborers
union and was made it's president. In
this work he was greatly assisted by
sthe late Samuel Morley, who freely
contributed money to the cause. Mr.
.Arch travelled about the country and
delivered lectures and addresses to
the laborers.
! He was elected to the house of
Commons in 1885 and continued to bs
a prominent member of that body for
many years.

BILE for the outcome. In his speeches
as a candidate he declared his party
would revise the tariff downward. At
ter he took the oath Of office he fire.
quently repeated this pledge. While
the tariff bill was being formulated he
declared 1t would carry out the plat
form promise of his party. There the
pledges ceased.
When the measure passed, he moi
only signed it, but declared it was the
best tariff bill ever enacted by an
American congress. He went further
and threatened to drive out Of the par
ty republicans who voted against 1t.
His attorney general, corporation at
torney, repeated this threat in an adj
dress in Chicago. Mr.. Taft did not
stop here. but in public addresse;
praised Aldrich and Cannon and frown-
ed upon the insurgents who refused to
take orders from the interests. He
even sought to weaken them at home
by denying them participation in the
distribution Of patronage.
The national congressional cam
paign committee attacked the insur-
gents in their home districts with
Tafts knowledge and approval, In
stead of encouraging La Toilette, Dol
liver, Cummins, Murdoch and the oth
er insurgents in their fight for the peo
pie, he sought their destruction. He
missed the mark and has sent his party
or the breakers.
If it is Taft in 1912, Judson Harmon
well seek the nomination against him
confident that the solemn judgment Of
the American people may sustain the
candidacy OF any one of these as the
national standard bearer.

Protecting the Farmer.

What has caused the state of Iowa
to decrease 1852 in population since
1900? Secretary Wilson has told us
that the tariff is making the farmers
prosperous, and yet thousands have
moved away from this prosperity to
seek other and more inviting fields. Is
it possible that the bleak prairies of
northwestern Canada, where corn will
not ripen, offer better prospects for
successful farming than the rich lands
of Iowa?
The fact is, Secretary Wilson is mis-
taken and the farmers know it, else
why their intense demand for real tar
iff revision. The only Iowa farmers
that the tariff helps are those who
