Opportunity OF the South.


No sensible man, certainly no one
friendly to the south. wishes to sec
the tariff made sectional question.
The course of Mr.. Clark and Mr.. I'm
derwood tends to prevent this. They
stand not only with their own party
throughout the country, but with the
strong public sentiment in support of
tariff reduction that has divided the
Republican party, and thrown the
house into the hands of the Demo
Gratis. When we say that in this they
are serving their own section, we
have in mind the important fact that
they are bringing to bear on national
affairs the intelligence and strength
of their section. and giving 1t the OPP
portunity to take a leading part In the
affairs OF the nation, They are .un-
dermtning the unfortunate sectional
dsm that has, perhaps unavoidably.
pervaded southern politics for long
time. They are ranging the south on
the side Of progress and in the line
of the most significant movement Of
national opinion that has manifested
itself in years. Nothing is more GER
tain than that our vast and intricate
and oppressive tariff system is to be
reformed, and its reform is bound to
be the one task of statesmanship in
the next few years. 1t can be deter
mined. and under certain conditions
1t can be led by the men Of the
south.-New York Times.

Remedy Up TO Congress-.

10
1t is becoming tolerably evident
that the closing session of this con-
gress will accomplish nothing except
big lot of appropriations. A large
share of the presidents program will
be left on the shelves. All this is ex-
cused by the fact that the session is
so short.
There is a large percentage of hum
bug in that plea. Congress could do
a great deal in three months If it
wished to. If 1t was run for business
instead Of maneuvering for political
position, manufacturing campaign
thunder and engineering private pulls.
the record would be very different.
Yet II public business must be left
undone because the second session Of
each congress is too short the re-
sponsibility still rests with that body.
1t is authorized by the constitution to
establish by law another date than the
first Monday In December for its
meetings. So whatever view is taken
of the inability of congress to do any
thing every second winter the fault
lies In its own inaction.

This is not the first occasion on
which the door of opportunity has been
opened to the Democracy and they
have shut It on themselves. Let them
remember 'the landslide" of 1892 and
Its consequences. The same thing
may easily occur again. Titus is still
before the gates. By 1912 the shat
tered and shaken forces Of Privilege
will have recovered from their over
throw and the fight will have to be
made over again. Only by uniting on

hope to win. II they falter the party
is lost. The principles will some day
be victorious, but the Democratic
party will have lost the glory of the
victory.

only so. If the rights or the people
and this property right are conflict

the rights of the people are the SUI

The Democracy must be at once
both progressive and conservative. It

SOCIAL LIFE ON THE FARM

tsy G. r. BARNES,

A beautiful home is a magnet which
needs only the additional centripetal
force of richer social life to bind to
the farm the young life which now
flows in a steady current to the cities.
To the multiplication of such homes
and the development of such richer
social life. then, the efforts Of all gov
ernmental and educational agencies
may we'll be directed. An additional
incentive to such efforts is found in
the fact that in rural society alone is
real American democracy now to be
found. Our cities have become ex.

In the city; and the superior wealth

Farmers will find a manure and lit.

any length, the outer end being plac-
ed over pole and then firmly staked
to the ground.
The supporting pole ought to be

large as desired, hut the average
size will hold about six bushels.
The end Of the track in the barn
should be about foot higher than at
the outside end. SO that when the car
Is loaded 1t may be pushed out and
run down the incline by it's own
weight.
A manure spreader may be station

stead Of negotiating a treaty which

ratification by two-thirds vote Of the

pent which can be enacted into law
by a majority vote Of the two houses.
It now remains for the American
people to make their attitude with re-.
gard to this agreement so clear and
emphatic that congress will not dare
to put 1t into cold storage. 1t ought
to be adopted! The welfare of the
