Washington still Lives.

There are 90 towns in the United
States named Washington. There are
$50 fire companies named after the
great man. There are over 10000 meat
markets named in his honor. There
are 81 steamboats, called after the
great figure in history. There are 5
mountains, 20 lakes, 40 springs, and
Z rivers that might not have been

born. 1t is estimated that 1000 chill.

There are Washington halls, Washing

A writer in the Saturday Evening
Post shows how we may approximate
that ideal and MISUNDERSTANDING
state of politics without politicians"
Ii is to be attained by putting all
responsibility upon a very few elected
officers and by requiring the citizen
at any one election to vote for only
few candidates, concerning whose ante
cedents and qualifications he NAV
easily inform himself This is TO
supersede the practice of calling upon
every citizen to vote a ticket a yard
slong, filled with a cloud of names and
for offices ranging from governor to
coroner
The reason why the Federal govern
ment remains comparatively efficient
and incorrupt is that Andrew Jackson
was unable TO get in his debasing work
upon the structure of the Federal adj
ministration. The Constitution made
he President and Vice President cleo
tive and all other officials appointive.
If we were now compelled to express
our choice not only for President. but
for cabinet officers, Federal Judges.

tors, and hundred other positions. we
would be as unintelligent concerning
the swarm of nominees as we are con-
corning the small army of names we
vote for in State, county and munich

Jackson Democracy" is spurious

three unmitigated evils of the first
order: Debauching of the civil service.

and the substitution of election for
appointment of executive and judicial
officers
Washington, Adams, Jefferson. Madi-
son. Monroe and J. @. Adams believed
in the method of appointment That

for the election of every administra-
tive puppet from town-crier up. Jack
son was the sire of the boss. Our SUI
per-abundant elections and complex
tickets are responsible for the boss
and all his works. And the only man.
ner by which the boss can be put to

POIiCl| Comment. E"
Our Business With the World.

A summary of statistics compiled by
Dor shows that during the calendar
year 1909 the United States received
for its exports to all other countries
in the world the sum of S1,72S,203,2l,
while its imports from them had a
total value of $1,475, $50. There
fore. the balance of trade" in Uncle
Sans favor is 1882 ,59O,691 for the
year
On its face this seems a gratifying
result for us, but our seeming gain is
turned into loss by comparison with
our international commerce the pre-
eeding year. In 1908 our exports
amounted to s1,752, S35.447 and our
imports TO S1,116,374.OS7, the balance
of trade" in our favor that year be-
ing s636, 461 800
Our exports in 1908 exceeded in
value those of 1909 by S24 .632,176. Last
year our imports amounted TO $1,413,-
$3.50 and in 1908 to S1,116.374,0S1,
the increase in 1909 being $3.50 ,23S, 495.

ports last year makes our total loss

with 1908
Uncle Sans best customer last year
was John Bull, his purchases from
us for the United Kingdom-exclus-
i've of British India-amounting to
SOL PSI 1893 in 1909, against S554,747,-
016 in 1908 Our imports from Great
Britain amounted to s247,474,1e4 in
1909 ana to s172.351. 4i3 in 1905. This
comparison shows that our trade with
Great Britain netted us s10S,5S7 ,16S
less last year than it did in 1908.
Germany IN 1909 bought from us
47.310,OS4 worth and sold us $751;
95l,673 worth last year. the difference
in our favor being sS5,35S,411. In
1908, however, our sales to her eX-
ceeded her to us by S129.94S,912. This
year she boycotted our meats and
many other products. 1t is certain
that the trade treaty we have just ne
gotiated with her will result in a
marked increase in our exports TO that
country
Our exports to France in 1909
amounted to s126.361. $50. an increase
of S9,506,559 over those of 1908. Our
imports from France in 1909 cost us
s132.O69.74s. or S42.919,45s more than
we paid the preceding year. Our
trade with France. therefore. netted us
S33.412. 799 less in 1909 than it did in
1908
We are doing better with Canada
than any other nation, comparatively
Our exports to her last year brought
us s1S7.730 100, an increase of $780,
105,342 over the year 1908. We paid
in 1909 for her products sS7,311,SS4 or
S15.94S,2 7S more than in 1908, our net
gain last year over that of 1908 being

Australia has the largest incubator In

an ordinary shed. with a corrugated

TARIFF WARS.

A tariff war is like 4 war between
military forces in so far as the costs
are extremely high and the capitals
of the countries involved are made TO
suffer distress. Three tariff wars are
now impending-with France. Ger
many and Canada. Swords will not
be crossed. though, if President Taft
can ward off the conflict
Germany has indicated that she de-
sires an immediate understanding as
to the probabilities of a tariff war with
the United States The chief point of
controversy concerns the discrimina-
tions practiced by the Germans
against American meats. The ruling
party is made up principally OF the
big land owners in Eastern Prussia
who are enabled TO keep out compel
ing agricultural products through
their influence in the Reichstag. They
have seized every opportunity to bar
our products When the "embalmed
beef" scandals were being heard be-
fore a special commission the German
customs house forbid the entrance Of
all American meat. Lately this action
has been renewed upon so slight a
pretext as the boycott against high
foodstuffs. the Agrarians declaring in
their newspaper organs that the agita-
zion is against the quality. not the
price, of the meats. There are a num-
Der of charges of discrimination
against France. but il is thought these
can be adjusted Also the maximum
tariff will probably not be invoked
against Canada. since this would
wound American investors over the
line

law is mostly threat The President

matte way he can avoid doing So

Education and Farming.

Under the heading, PLAIN Talk by
a Plain Farmer" writer in the Agri-
cultural Epitomist says:
1T seems to me that we are fast
coming to that place where 1t is going
to mean something to own a farm and
mean much more to know how to han
die 1t. We are beginning to look upon
the farm as something that requires
the brightest mind to manage In my
travels about the country | have
found places where at one side of the
road We saw fine land and fine stock,
everything looking prosperous, and on
the other side exactly the reverse.
everything going to pieces, poor crops
and poor stock, and the owner head
over heels in debt / am sorry for
the man who is unfortunate, who has
sickness or anything of that kind to
contend with. but what is the reason
in the same neighborhood for so great
a difference? 1t is not always an ac-
cident or sickness, but because one
man is the farmer and the other is
not farmer. l think we can do no
better work than help speed the day
when We may educate our farmers
in our public schools so that they can
read THE agricultural papers and bulle-
tins intelligently. The trouble is not
that farmers do not read the agricul-
tural books. papers and bulletins, but
that their early education has been
neglected and they are unfamiliar with
the terms that we are compelled TO
use In writing upon agricultural top
les. There is no greater need In our
education to-day than something that
will assist in connecting our expert
ment station workers, our agricultural
press and our agricultural writer's
with their readers"

floors of one inch boards, and lays
them fiat on the cement, In section
small enough to be easily removed at
any time. In this way he combines
the advantages of both the cement and
the wood. He can remove the board
floor, scrub out the pen and also thor
oughly clean and disinfect the false
floor outside. Cement is the cheapest
material in the end for the floor of
the hog pen. The floor of the outer
apartment should be few inches low
