Pittsburg, Aug. 30.


Pittsburg, Aug. 30.
Although the gubernatorial cam.
paign in Pennsylvania has hardly got
ten well under way, one fact has been
demonstrated, and that is that John
Kinley Tener, the Republican nominee
for governor, is going to be one of the
most popular candidates with the
workingmen that ever ran on a state
ticket.
This is not surprising to those fa-
miliar with his record and who havo
followed his course both In private
and public life
His whole history is that of a man
who has worked hard himself and
who is in full sympathy with labor
by reason of his associations with the
wage earners from his boyhood days.
Any one who, like Mr.. Tener, had to
begin at the very bottom of life's lad
der and depend upon his own energy
and resources to win success can ap-
preciate his concern for the welfare
of his fellow men. especially those who
make up the great industrial army of

QUAINT ANSWERS
COME FROM FARMERS

| One Of the most illumlnating-and Incl
dentally one of the most interesting and
| amusing-series OF answers sent to the
| commission was from a farmer In Mis-
souri. He stated tha. &c ia "a wife anu
IL living children, he and and his wife
being each So years old: and hat they
owned $40 acres OF land without any mort
gage hanging over their heads. He had
| himself done well, and his views as to why
many of his ~neighbors had done less we'll
| are entitled to consideration. These views
are expressed In terse and vigorous Eng
lish; they canno always be quoted in full.
He states that the farm homes In his
| n~eighborhood are not as good as they
should be because too many OF them are
incumbered by mortgages; that the schools
do not train boys and girls satisfactorily
for life on the farm. because they allow
them to get an idea In their heads that
city life Is better, and that to remedy this
practical farming should be taught.
To the question whether the farmers and
their wives In his neighborhood are salts
factoriiy organized, he answers: "Oh,
there is a little one-horse grange gang In
our locality, and every darned one thinks
they aught to be a king" To the question,
Are the renters of farms in your neigh
borhood making q satisfactory living?' he
answers: mo: because they move about
so much hunting a better job"
To the question:, Us the supply OF farm
labor in your neighborhood satisfactory"
the answer is: mo; because the people
nave gone out of the baby business" and
when asked as TO the remedy he
GIVE a pension to every mother who
gives birth to seven living boys on Ameri-
can soil" To the question Are the con-
ditions surrounding hired labor on the
farm In your neighborhood satisfactory to
the hired men?' he answers: Eyes. unless
he is a drunken cuss," adding thai he
would like to blow up the st%illhouses and
root out whisky and beer. To the question

well. and they used the water daily, his
wife dead now and he is looking for an

important single thing to be for the bet
terment OF country life is good roads,"
but in his answers he shows very clearly
that most important OF all is the individual
equation of the man or woman.

WoMEN'S FIGHT FOR
SUFFRAGE GETS CHECK

New York, Feb. 1.-THE PROSECUTING
campaign which h women fighters
for franchise" had started on the lower
East Side received a check In the form
OF an uitimatum from the educational
alliance forbidding leaders OF young
girls clubs to take their charges TO
meetings where woman suffrage is to
be the subject OF discussion.
The matter was brought TO the at
tention Of the alliance when Miss Rose
Shapiro, a stenographer, who has a
club of about 20 girls, took the girls to
a meeting in the nurses settlement.
Miss Elkus said today she had for
hidden Miss Shapiro TO take her club
to the suffrage meeting not because
she was opposed to woman suffrage.
but because the girls of that partic-
ular club are too young to consider
such q question.

they apply to men and women who live in

OF material well being, the influence OF
the farmers and armer wives on their
children becomes the factor of first Inn
P~ortance In determining the attitude of
the next generation toward farm life. The
farmer should realize that the person who

his wife. l do not In the least mean that
she should purchase ease at the expense
of duty. Neither nan nor woman Ia really

shirks her duty as housewife, as home
keeper, as the mother whose prime func-
ton 1t is to bear and rear a sufficient
number Of healthy children, then she Is
not entitled to our regard. But IL she does
her duty she is more entitled to our re-
gard even than the man who does his
duty: and the man should show special

The country people everywhere are ASK

want a parcels post and the extension OF

The commission has purposeiy avoided
indorsing any particular bin now before
congress, no matter what It's value or OBJ
lect. In the opinion of the commission,
however, there are two or three move
ments of the utmost consequence that
should be set under way at the earliest
possible tim because they are funda-
mental to the whole problem of perma-
nent reconstruction. There should be or
ganized under government leadership a
comprehensive plan for ar exhaustive
study or survey OF all the conditions that
surround the business OF farming and the
people who live in the country, In order
TO take stock of our resources and to sup
ply the farmer with knowledge.
Each state college of agriculture should
organize as soon as practicable, a COM
pIete department Of college extension
LoSdi, Stdte, ana even natlOnal CONFER
ences on rural progress, designed to unite
the interests of education, organization
and religion, should be held.
There is need for young people OF quail
ity, energy, capacity, aspiration and con-
~viction, who will live In the open country
as permanent residents on farms or as
teachers, or In other useful fields, and
who, while developing their w business
or affairs to the greatest perfection, will
still have unseifsh interest IN the welfare
or their communities. The farming coun-
try Is by no means devoid OF leaders and
is not lost or incapable OF helping itself,
but 1t has been relatively overlooked by
persons who are seeking great fields OF
usefulness. IT will be well for us as a
people III we recognize the opportunity
for usefulness In the open country and
consider that there Is a call for service.
The suggestions Of the commission only
outline a general plan whereby the strong
resident forces in the Omen country rce.
themselves build up a new and better
rural social structure. To accomplish this
the entire people must be aroused, The
time for this Is at hand.
