This effort to be more nearly de-

absolute disregard for the honest

This is the caliber of the people
who want to enforce their Prohibit

people OF Hawaii. What wonder that
they each day find their cause is

citizens as rapidly as the manufac
turers turn them out so that there is
nothing of a reserve stock on hand to
supply a sudden demand for the large
number which would be required for
use in the military service in times OF
necessity. What General Grant advises
therefore, is the enactment of a law
requiring registration with the ma
tional government Of all automobiles
equipped for four or more passengers
and imposing the legal obligation
the government on demand.
The balm for all this grief is con-
tanned in the further recommendation
that the government pay for the ma
chimes when thus appropriated "a
sum Of money not greater than the
first cost to the owner" which would
mean the purchase by the government
of secondhand machines at original
prices, inflicting on the dispossessed
automobilist only the hardship of wait
ing for the factory to turn out new
machines to supply his demand. Gen.
eral Grant believes that even on this
basis the cost to the government would
be vastly less than 1t would be if it
had to pay arbitrary prices for rush
orders or keep on hand expensive
motor car transportation and waiting
for emergencies. The only question
is whether, when the army marches in
automobiles and the navy sails in air
ships, war will still be what General
Sherman said 1t was.

The plight of Joe" Sibley, the vet
eran congressman from Pennsylvania,
who announces his retirement from
public life after capturing an nomina-
ton which he admits cost him $42, 900,
furnishes food for thought.
Congressman Sibley has figured
prominently in politics for twenty
years aud more, originally as a DEM
ocrat, where he stood high in the party
councils as one of the pioneer cham
pions with Mr.. Bryan of the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to /
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation on earth. In his
book called The First Battle" Mr..
Bryan tells how In 1895 a conference
was held in Washington attended by
number OF leading bimetallists, which
drew up an address to the friends OF
free silver and suggested the name Of
Hon. Joseph C. sibley Of Pennsylvania
as the proper person for the forces
favorable to bimetallism to unite OF
as their preferred candidate for presi-
dent.
It was only in later years that it was
disclosed that this great advocate Of
the poor, down troddeR people was the
SPECIAL representative of Standard Oil
who, after playing his role as the next

Roosevelt on Rural Life.

In selecting Rural Life" as the
subject of his initial address on his
present speech-making tour, Colonel
Roosevelt has made use of the OPP
portunity to restate some homely
truths which cannot be too often re-
itersted. The problems of rural life
are the problems of more than half
of the people Of this country because
we are still essentially an agricultural
nation and agriculture as an occups-
ton far out-tops all others on the
list
Colonel Roosevelt's observations
are plainly facts based and gathered
and presented by the country life COM
mission which he set in motion and
go to the necessity of elevating the
standards of farm workers, not only in
the matter Of up-to-date methods of
scientific cultivation, but also in the
matter Of household economics, CO.
operative organization and social and
religious activity A characteristic
Roosevelt thought is found in this
contrast of two farm types:
The rich man who spends a fortune on
a fancy farm, with entire indifference TO
cost, does not do much good to farming;
but. on the other hand, just as little is
done by the working farmer who totally
refuses to profit by the knowledge of the
day, who treats any effort at Improvement
as absurd on It's face, refuses to coun-
tenance what he regards as new-fangled
ideas. and contrivances and jeers at all
book farming"
The ideal farmer in Colonel Roose-
velt's estimation is the farmer who
not only makes his farm pay but
makes country life interesting for him
self and his wife but for his sons
and daughters, and equips himself to
render the service to the public which
every nation needs.
Colonel Roosevelt does not, in this
address, differentiate between rural
life in different parts of the country.
II this phase were to be impartially
studied the farmer of the newer west
would, without question, measure up
much more closely to the ideal than
the farmer of the older east. The
western farmer is. on the average.
more adaptable to changing conditions,
more alive to new ideas, more ready to
make experiments promising increased
yield or smaller outlay, more apprecia-
tive of the need of business-like
methods in buying and marketing and
more awake to the possibilities of
sociability and culture in the farm
home.
While cities have grown fast in the
west, their expansion has not been SO
much "a growth at the expense OF
the farm" which Colonel Roosevelt
deplores, but rather a consequence OF
the increase of rural population. The
western farmer, too, continues to be
active In public affairs exerting q pro
portionate influence in the making OF
laws and directing of the government
Every movement to improve farm life
will therefore find its stronghold in
the middle west where much has al
ready been accomplished and further
progress is assured. b

NEWEST "POLITICAL MACHINE,
PeriIs OF Automobile Campaigning
Pointed Out.


Perils of Automobile Campaigning
Pointed Out.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The automobile is, according to the
Omaha Bee, the newest American political
machine. But It is a machine that must
be used with care lest 1t develop the pro-
pensities OF the boomerang.
For instance. the vote seeker who goes
into the rural districts and runs over a
prize rooster whose dignity will not permit
him to flee too rapidly from the path OF
the monster is not likely to make many
votes. The owner OF the rooster will
surely align himself with the opposition,
and will go as far as he can to take his
friends with him.
Hoi polloi in the cities, too, according 10
the Bee, do not relish the sight OF friend
Of the people dashlng about in his Panhard
or Mercedes. Hoi polloi are likely 20 be
sensitive Hol polloi feel that the candi-
dates touring car is somewhat OF a sluT
upon their own lack of touring cars.
But for all these drawbacks the auto
mobile has come TO be almost indispensable
in politics. The candidate who is compelled
to cover a great deal Of territory. especially
toward the close Of the campaign, who is
endeavoring to speak at half dozen meet
ings every evening, who seeks to get close
to the voters by mngiing with them here
and there, can hardly get along without
the automobile. True, he got along without
Il before II was invented. In the same way
we once got along without railroads. But
once any useful thing comes into general
use It straightway becomes indispensable.
In Cleveland, at least, a political campaign
without automobiles Is something not to be
imagined.

FOrnipst Heavy Thinking.
c0rtr ,rftaid Macy Renuhiican

James j. Hin. commenting on the re-
cent removal Of DR.. Eliot's five-foot shelf
of books from the library cars of the Bur-
iington railroad says: His books require
too much heavy thinking, and people these
days are averse to heavy thinking, espe-
cially when travelling" Among the books
substituted by the Burlington managers are
Railway Transportation" Railroad
Freight Rates" Cost, capitalization and
Estimated Value of American Railways
and Railroad Statistics Of the United
States" Thus, according to Mr.. HILL there
is nothing about railroads calling for heavy
thinking.
