SOLICITUDE FOR THE FARMER


The following editorial, repro
duced from the Christian Science
Monitor, Boston, Mass, we COM
mend to our member of congress
who should give it careful perusal:
1t has become SO noticeable as
to arouse comment among close
observers that the average speaker
in Congress, whether Democrat or
Republican, high tariff or low tariff,
free trade or protection advocate,
at some point in the course of his
remarks, and frequently in eloquent
peroration. makes a touching plea
in behalf of the farmer. To the
superficial it might seem from this
that the farmer, whose fifteen years
continuous stretch of prosperity
has been heralded far and near,
has suddenly met with serious
reverse. Such is not the case,
however, and it is doubtful if any
considerable number of farmers are
giving encouragement or counten-
ance to the effort now making to
drag them as a class into economic
or political controversy.
The census bulletins with rela-
ton to agriculture are presenting
facts at this time which show that
no branch of American industry
has prospered more generally than
farming during the decade ending
with 1910. Farm values have in
creased everywhere. This is as
true of the older as Of the younger
states. Farm lands in Massachu-
sets, for instance, show an increase
in value during the decace of 2I
per cent. In different parts of the
West it has run up to 40, 60, even
100 per cent. The advantage has
been more remarkable still out on
what were once described as our
arid plains" On some of these
arid plains" notable in Colorado,
the gains are 283 per cent for land
and buildings and TO per cent for
the average acre price.
Now all this has been going on
right in the face of the fact that
during the decade Canada had been
opening its western provinces to
the American as we'll as to the
European immigrant. The in
creased production consequent up
on the cultivation of millions of
acres of new soil affected neither
the value of farm products nor the
value OF farm lands throughout the
older areas. On the contrary,
lands in all parts of the country
have been steadily advancing in
value, and we have only just ceased
to complain of the exorbitant prices
commanded for all sorts of farm
products.
The American farmer is more
prosperous to day than he.has ever
been before in the history of the
country. His prosperity, more
over, is not due to change condi-
tons. He is, taken at the average,
a more skilful farmer and a better
business man than he has been in
the past. He knows more of the
law CO supply and demand. 1t
does not appear that he is inviting
the solicitude that is being directed
toward him just now. He is con-
cerned as deeply as all other classes
of citizens in the settlement of
questions before the country, but
no more so.

Price of Gas Reduced

The attention of those in the city who
use gas for illuminating or cooking pur-
poses, is called to the advertisement Of
the Watertown Gas and Electric COM
pany published elsewhere in this issue
of the Leader, reduction of twenty-five
(22) per cent, has been made in the price
of Illuminating gas, the cut to go into
effect June /, 1911, and it is probable,
that greater reduction may be made,
it depending upon an increase use OF
gas. It will be noticed in the schedule
of prices, that there is graduated de-
crease in the price, on the increased
number of cubic feet used, which will be
a great saving to those using gas for
purposes.

Walter Ward Biller tells the following
story Of hardware store in St. Louis
which advertised for an errand boy. As
it happened, the boss was talking to a
customer when boy came in. Think
ing he wanted to buy something he ex-
cused himself, and going over to the boy
asked him what he could do for him.
The boy told him that he came in an
swer to his advertisement and asked for
the job.
Well of course the boss got mad by
being disturbed while he was talking to
a customer. He said to the boy: "You
go outside and walk block. If l call
you back, why, will hire you if I don't
why you just keep right on walking"
The boy did as he was told, but, going
out, he picked up shovel that was
standing near the door, put it on his
back and started down the street.
Before he had gone ten feet away the
old man was after him, yelling: "Come
back! Come back"
The boy came back, took off his coat,
and asked where he wanted him to work
downstairs, upstairs or where.
The man took one good look at him
and said: Il guess I'll hire you. Never
mind putting your coat on. Start right
in"

Thoughts by the Way.

The house of representatives in
making a new congressional ap-
protionment increase the member
ship from 3oI to 433 IN order to
provide more place for ambitious
politicians and greatly increase the
expense to the people. The mem
bership is already too large and
might with salty and economy be
reduced to about 900. But the
members evidently fear that should
the present number continue, under
the new apportionment some of the
members would not return. A large
representation is not necessary ex-
cept for place hunters. Five rep
resentatlves from Wisconsin would
be sufficient and the state be more
ably represented than now.
Smuggling by aeroplane, is the
latest device to beat the government
out of revenues. They can be en-
ployed to carry valuable goods from
one country to another without fear
OF revenue officers, for they cannot
establish points of entry in the air
and catch the bold smugglers when
they arrive, for their destination
will be unknown. The dealers in
diamonds, rare and costly laces,
valuable jewelry and other costly
things which the poor do not buv
can have their own way in the
smuggling business and make for
tunes by running the risk of killing
themselves or those whom thew
employ.
When we see the kind of United
State senators under the present
system of election, we wonder if
they could possible be any worse
should they beelected by a direct vote
OF the election of the several states.
With men in the senate who cannot
speak the English language, speak
five minutes in a coherent manner
or write letter without misspelling
half of the words, it is doubtful if
conditions could be any worse if
they were elected in any way.

ShEEP-Supplies OF sheep and lambs
We're light this morning and a ready de
mand for anything fit TO kill was evident
from the opening of the market. All of
the regular buyers helped toward making
an early clearance, bulk OF offerings selling
at prices steady to possibly shade higher.
In most respects, the general trade was
little different from that of yesterday.
barring greater degree of activity due to
scent receipts.
Ewes that proved a drug on the market
at $S75 yesterday, sold at a. indicating a
quotable top of A.2J This comparison Is
not a fair one, however, as inquiry for
ewes yesterday was decidedly slack with
prices more or less erratic. Wethers sold
as high as 4.& and strictly choice handy
grades were wanted around $l40
Good lambs were not very plentiful, but
the few sales that were made in this branch
OF the trade held firm, quality considered.
Some inquiry was made for toppy kinds
at S.90d600 and the high limit may safely
be placed at the latter figure. Volume OF
feeder business has been very small lately,
been large enough to put the market on
a working basis.S
For the week total receipts are moderate,
bulk Of the run consisting of fed western
stock. Demand from packers has been
rather uncertain, viewing the week as a
whole, but little permanent change In val
ues has resulted. Present prices are just
about steady with those Of a week ago.

p CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle were very
small as Is apt to be the case on a Friday
and there were really not enough of any one
kind on sale to make very much OF q show
ing. IL was fortunate, however, that such
was the case as the demand has not been
very active any day this week, while the
tendency has been steadily lower on all
ceipts today the market was given a sort Of
breathing spell and as a result the few
cattle here generally sold In about the
same notches as yesterday. In other
words all kinds Of cattle were just about
steady.
It would be well for the country to under
stand thoroughly the situation prevailing
the country. The beginning Of Lent being
near at hand always has more or less
depressing effect upon the cattle market.
At the same time unreasonable weather
has contributed to decrease the consuming
demand, and this fact, together with the
near approach of Lent. has made packers
more anxious to clean up the surplus beef
great quantity to the supply. Thus as al
ready noted. the demand Tor cattle this
week has been extremely slow and dull and
the market has steadily declined for the
want of a good buying support.
