Hens Help a Heap

According to the latest and most
reliable reports the hens of our inn
mediate northwest turned out about
sl38, 600, 600 worth Of eggs and poultry
last year, say nothing Of the millions
our producers Of them consumed that
never went through the channels of
trade. 1t is estimated that South
Dakota produced s22,747.OOO worth;
North Dakota, s2l, 200, 900; and Min
nesota 49,, 200, 900.
All this, Of course, doesn't help the
fellow much whose hens won't Law, /"
but it is evident that somebody's hens
lay, and 1t Is up to the eggless poul-
try to look into the matter and see
why his hens are not doing their part.

What Would Happen?

Inspired dispatches from Washing
ton announce that President Taft
does not look with favor upon the
constitution of Arizona and that the
provisions for the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall may stand in the way
of its ratification by Congress and
the President. Arizona people may
we'll be concerned over such an an
nouncement, for the enabling act
passed at the last session of Congress
was so worded that Congress and the
President are in position to censor
whatever the people of Arizona have
decided shall be the fundamental law
of their new state. But if statehood
is to be denied Arizona because her
constitution contains these instru-
ments OF popular government what is
Taft and Congress going to do in the
case of states that have changed their
constitutions so as to include direct
legislation and the recall? What will
they do in the case of Oregon? What
will they do with Kansas? What will
they do to states like Wisconsin,
Massachusetts,, California, Kansas,
Michigan and others that are now
setting about to give the people these
democratic measures? And what will
happen to governors like McGovern,
johnson, Stubbs, Foss, Osborn, Will
son and Deneen for urging their leg
islatures to pass the initiative and
referendum? OF course nothing will
be done. But suppose President Taft
had the power over these older states
that he now has over Arizona? What
would happen?-LaFollette's Maya

and imprisoned on a bread and water
diet, was the fate of Harold Lund, a
twenty year old Lead boy, who has
been for some time past working in
Mexico. In letter to his family
young Lund says that with
some companions, all Americans, they
were making their way from the
smelter where they had been employed
back to the United States.
They were obliged to leave the train
near Juarez when they were at once
seized by the insurgents and kept in
the rebel prison for five days on mea
ger rations.
At the end of that time they were
offered So day to go into the en-
ploy Of the insurgents as engineers
after first being released, but declined
the offer and made their way into
Texas

CONGRESS WILL
TO THE FARMERS

ture of Opening
Day

between these two the predatory in-
terests place themselves and grab the
lions share of profits. They force
down the amount paid the producer
and raise that charged the consumer,
thus enriching themselves at the ex-
pense Of both. In the old days the
feudal baron took a position on the
main Travelled roads and compelled all
merchants passing that way to pay
tribute. The modern baron camps out
On the road that leads from the pro-
ducer to the consumer and levies a
larger tribute than ever did his feudal
prototype. 1t is the nature Of this
species to increase their exactions
The more they get the more they
want. Finally their demands grow so
insolent and oppressive that their vic
tins combine to put them out of busi-
ness. That was the history of the
feudal robber, and that promises to be
the story of his latter day successor.
1t is to be hoped that speakers in the
conservation congress may have the
patriotism, the love of humanity and
the courage to handle this question
without gloves. If so they will inter-
est not only the farmer, but all classes
Of the population. This, too, belongs

pected an immense outpourlng of peo-
pie from the section of country close
to Kansas City.
The conservation movement in
America is comparatively young, this
being the third of these annual con
ferences, but already it has millions
of adherents. Last year there was an
immense gathering at ST. Paul, and a
president and an ex-president were
among the speakers. The subject
then was public lands, and quite n
little factional feeling was aroused be
tween the respective adherents of fed
eral and state control. Theodore
Roosevelt made the chief address on
the side of federal control and was
ably seconded by former Senator Bev-
eridge of Indiana and others. James
]. Hill made a rather vigorous speech
in behalf of state control
In later years there has sprung up
in America a cluster of movements
that, while in one sense idealistic, are
still practical and highly necessary.
Among these may be mentioned the
good roads, country life, back to the
farm, city beautiful, reclamation and
conservation movements, all of which
are kindred and aim at a common goal
With rather lofty scorn Uncle Joe
Cannon would doubtless lump them
all under the general head of "uplift." {"
Closely associated with these is the
enort toward cooperation in city and
country. More and more the masses of
the people are being Influenced by the
spirit Of these labors in their behalf,
for they are beginning to realize that
they will be the ones to reap the ben
efit, Taken together these lines Of
endeaVoT constitute one of the most
hopeful signs of this age The cause

Other Subjects.
The country. life movement, the i'm
provement of the country school,
church and social conditions and the
betterment Of the farmers lot gener-
ally are also scheduled to occupy q con-
siderable portion Of the conventions
attention. This was a pet theme dur
ing Roosevelt's administration, but has
dropped out of sight somewhat since
Now 1t Is again to come 10 the front,
thus giving notice that the Roosevelt
influence is stiA dominant in the con-
servation association. 1t could not be
otherwise with Clifford Pinchot as
president. 1t should be explained in
passing that, while Mr. Pinchot Is head
OF the association, Henry Wallace of
Iowa is president of the conservation
congress. Wallace is also member of
the country life commission. In COM
menting on the prominent place given
to the farmers on the program Mr..
Wallace said this happened by design.
He expressed the hope that when the
proceedings of the convention were
printed they would form an authorita-
tive handbook for the American
farmer

vention and deliver an address. He
has the evening of Sept. 25, the open

ton meets in the auditorium in Kan
