Toiler and Dreamer

l sat at the feet of the poet, and l
heard that poet say: '"The dreamer
lives forever, and the toiler dies in a
day!" In love with the poets genius,
and charmed by his sweet refrain, l
said: II will cease to labor, for labor
imparts pain; afar to the land of
lotus on shimmering dreams III stray,
for the dreamer lives forever, and the
toiler dies in a day" Then spake up
my Aunt Eliza, and this was her mes
sage: "Rats! the poet is talking nom
sense! His headpiece is full of bats!
The dreamer is but loafer, who
ought to be in the pound; 1 bow to
the busy worker who's making the
wheels 20 round! The dreamer is
sitting idle, a-whittling hemlock
club, and his wife is bearing burdens
or laboring at the tub. The toiler Is
earning money as he journeys his USE
ful way; he's putting away a bundle
for age and wintry day. The dream
er is writing verses on mermaids and
stars and pools; the toiler is paying
taxes and helping to build the schools.
The song have heard you singing to
that of ii lazy jay; the dreamer goes is
the poorhouse, while the toiler's bal

Twice as much wheat could be
grown in the United States without
greater acreage if growers would Civ
back to the soil what the plant takes
away, and until they begin to feed
the soil what 1t needs in the produc,
ton it will continue to deteriorate
with each successive crop. Instead
then Of the yield enlarging with the
multiplying population, it will grow
smaller.
To inculcate this practice among
farmers Is the fundamental object oi
the conservation congress, looking to
the preservation Of American institu'
tions. Remember what James ]. Hill
says on this subject?
"No people ever felt the want OF
work or the pinch of poverty for a
long time without reaching out vic.
lent hands against their political in.
stitutions, believing that they might
find in a change some relief fnon
their distress. Every nation finds It's
hour of peril when there is no longer
free access to the land, or when the
land will no longer support the peo.
ple.'
President Taft says in the same
line: without the resources which
make labor productive, American en-.
terprise, industry, energy, and skill
would not in the past have been able
to make headway against hard con-
ditions. Our children and their child
ren will not be able TO make head.

country. Our land, our forests, our
waters, and our minerals are the
or indirectly the livlihood of all Of
us. The conservation Of our natural
resources is a question of the funda-
mental importance to the United
States
The conservation question is thus
shown to be vaster than the bread
supply of a nation and touches not
only the physical wellbeing of the
people, but the preservation Of repub.
lican institutions. In the light Of
these facts the forthcoming congress
at Kansas City should hold vast in

"The Richest Baby.

JudsOn C. Welliver, one of the very
few Washington newspaper and mag
szinewriterS who write what they
think, has an article in Hampton IS
magazein this month which is of es-
pecial interest, now that President
Taft has vetoed the cotton bill. This
article is an account OF how the cot
ton millionaires keep up their fat
dividends amounting in some in
stances to one hundred per cent an
nually-and at the same time cOntin-
Ee to plead for high tariff, without
which they contend they will starve
to death. Mr.. Welhver begins his
article with a photograph of one
James Nicholas Brown, age eleven,
whose wealth is estimated in the hun
dreds of millions. every cent of which
was made out of the highly protected
New England cotton manufacturing ir
dustry. "In 1908, the panic year,
Mr.. Welliver writes, "the cotton
trust calmly paid its fat dividends.
True, its already underpaid labor had
to suffer sharp reductions; true, the
wearers of its products had to pay
increased prices. But that was un-
important 10 cotton millionaires. They
had the power to extOrt them. They

CONSERVING THE SOIL.

The work of the conservation pro-
pagandists resembles, when looked al
by the present generation, the labor
of man who tries to fill up a raj
hole by pouingwater into it. And YET
no one who is apprised Of the object
in view can say that the time will
not come speedily when the country
will be in sore distress if the end
sought is not attained.
The next conservation congress will
be held in Kansas City next month
at which meeting efforts will again
be made to apprise farmers Of the
need of utilizing the soil to its full
est extent.
Prevailing high prices for food
stuffs should serve as a valuable sup
plement to conservation work in call
ing attention to the needs Of the
times. Nature favoring, the soil al
present furnishes sufficient output fol
the peoples consumptive demands
but when in the course Of years thos
demands have been augmented many
fold, the present rate of yield would

in this country three times as many
people as at present. How 3O,0OO,OOO
people could subsist on the products
for which 1OO,OOGOOQ are today pay

A bulletin issued by the conserva-
tion congress shows the needs IN the
case. The average wheat yield in

ward.
Mr.. Taft s message against cheaper
woolens will go down as a document
of Misrepresentation, false pretense
and excuses. The real reason the
President vetoed the various tariff
bills was not stated in any of his
messages: It was because he was
under obligations to the beneficiarles
of the Payne-Aldrich law to serve
their interests instead Of the public
interest. Mr.. Taft was elected pres
ident with a campaign fund contri,
buted by special privilege. Then
having done this, the great tariff
trusts extended further aid (and plac
ed Taft further in their debit by
frightening their employees into vot'
ing for Taft with the threat their
factories and mills would be closed
down unless he was elected. And, JUS
as he was the candidate of special
privilege, Mr.. Taft is revealed in his
veto message as also the president OF
special privilege.
Thus it is shown again how protec.
tion makes politics a business propo-
Sition. The trusts contribute cam
paign funds to he parry of he high Pre-
lection wall with the intention of not
only recovering from the public the
amount of such contributions in ex.
ceSSive prices, but stupendous divi
dendS as profits. Mr.. Taft proved an
exceptionally good investment for
the tariff trusts.

GERMAN VETERANS TO MEET IN
OMAHA.

Five thousand members of the Ma
t;onal organization Of German Vet
Grams and Warrior Societies Of North
America will meet in Omaha the first
week in September, the occasion be-
ing the National meeting of the aSSo-
citation. At the same time the West
ern organization of the National body
which is composed of thirty-two socie-
ties of Nebraska, Iowa, North and
South Dakota, and Kansas will hold
It's annual reunion. The dates of the
reunion are September l to 8.
The coming meeting of the Nation
al Association will be the first ever
held as far west as Nebraska. Here
tofore, the association has held its
meetings in the east and central
states, but two years ago the mem
bers and officers decided to branch
out and take i'm the western states.
Consequently, Nebraska was consid-
cred favorably as it was argued that
the state would afford vantage
ground that would permit the AssOci-
alton to increase its membership.
Members of the Nebraska societies
also of North and South Dakota and
of Iowa, have joined hands with the
Omaha and South Omaha societies,
and as a result, the visitors are as
sured entertainment, the like of which
they never have experinced before.
The big event of the five-day ses-
sion will be the mammoth mass meet
ing, which will be held on Saturday
night, September 2. This meeting will
be held in the gigantic Auditorium,
the only structure in the city that viii
accommodate the vast throng. The fea-
ture part of the evenings enteer-
uainment will be tableaus, depicting
various scenes of the French Prussian
war. The capture Of Napoleon after
the battle of Sedan, just forty-one
years back from the night of the cele
bration will be faithfully depicted. In
fact the annual meeting is more for
the jubilation of this important phase
of war than of any other.
On Monday, Labor Day, a gigantic
parade of veterans and warriors will
wend its way through the streets of
the city. In order that there may
be no conflict with the Labor Union {
annual parade it has been agreed that
the veterans parade will be given
earlier in the morning.
On Sunday afternoon, the annual
field services Of the society will be
held in the Park of the German home
where all the business sessions of the
society will be held. A concert Mon
day afternoon and big feast at nigh
viii wind up the days program. Tues
day will be devoted to business ses-
ssions of the two organizations.
Practically every every city in the
state Of Nebraska viii be represented
by large delegations. The Nebraska
members have worked with a will in
aiding the Omaha societies and as a
result a varied program has been ar
ranged.
Among the speakers are Richard
Mueller Of New York, the National
President, and A. F. Mertens, of
South Omaha, President of the West
ern Association.
