TO PROMOTE AGRICULTURE.

President Taft in his speech before
the Conservation Congress at Kan
sas City, outlined a proposition that
foreshadows greater development of
agriculture throughout the entire
country. He in part said:
1T is now proposed to organize a
force of 5000 men, one to every coun-
ty in the United States, who shall
conduct experiments within the coun-
ty for the edification and education
of the present farmers who are being
educated. 1t is proposed that these
men shall be paid partly by the
county, partly by the state, and part
~ by the Federal Government, and
it is hoped that the actual demonstra.
ton on farms in the county-not at
agricultural stations or schools some
where in the state, but in the county
itself-will bring home to the farm
ers what it is possible to do with the
very soil that they themselves are
cultivating. / understand this to be
the object of an association organic
ed for the improvement of agricul-
ture in the country, and do not
think We could have more practical
method than this. 1t is ordinarily
not wise to unite administration be-
tween the county and state and fed
eral governments, but this subject is
one so all-compelling, it is one in
which all people are so much interest
ed, that cooperation seems easy and
the expenditure of money to good
purpose so free from difficulty, that
we may properly welcome the plan

REVIVAL OF WATER POWER.

Fairfield Ledger: The dam in

there were a dozen or more mills

Electric current from the dam at Oak

twenty-eight miles over a newly con-
structed transmission line. II has
been given a practical test of a week
and is wholly satisfactory. This cur.

watt, and that is less than half the
cost of current generated by coal, &C
cording TO the cost estimates OF the

political history but to the discussion
of current politics. The author an
nounces himself as pioneer in the
progressive movement" and he is go
ing to tell his ''own story" for THE
express purpose of exhibiting the
struggle for a more representative
government" and to cheer on the
fighters In that cause" He frankly
trusts that the articles may be the
means of causing many men to think
as one-and to fight as one."
He is the one.
In pursuance of this purpose the art
of the photographer Is called in to
show the author on his mothers knee
at the age of 3; in his roundabout
at 8: as he looked when he was in
oratorical contests at college at %
and finally as he appears at Sc in his
chair in the United States senate. As
human documents the series of por'
traits have their value. Whether
they will increase the admiration OF
the public for their subject is a mat
ter on which he is entitled to his own
opinion. We should doubt it. They
are accompanied by very good por-
trait of the late Robert G. Iugersoll.
Beneath it Mr.. La Toilette inscribes
these lines:
"Ingersoll had a tremendous infiu.
ence upon me, as, indeed, he had up
on many young men of that time. 1t
was not that he changed my beliefs,
but that he liberated my mind. Free
dom was what he preached; he want.
ed the shackles off everywhere"
Elsewhere Mr.. La Toilette declares
that Ingersoll took a powerful hold
on my imagination; he was a rare,
bold, heroic figure" He quotes large
ly from the colonel's oratory, thought
him the greatest orator he had ever
heard, and tells how, standing in the
post Office before poster containing
one of Ingersolls speeches, "obilViOus
of my surroundings, read it with
tears streaming down my face
A man may be known by the heroes
he chooses. Mr.. Ingersoll clearly was
the chief hero of Mr.. La Toilette. he
was not a nice one. He was a popu-
lar orator, but not of high type. His
main purpose was to undermine the
religious beliefs OF the people among
whom he lived, and this he did in the
name of freedom" Mr.. La Toilette
was apparently an eager victim OF
~. In
there was perfect freedom as to re-
ligious belief. as was shown by the
fame and fortune IngersOll won i'll
ridiculing the beliefs OF majority OF
Americans. The crusade in which he
engaged was as big piece of hum
bug as our history affords. The man
who, at this late day, can describe II
as bold" and heroic" betrayS a curl
Gus lack of perspective and a good
deal of gullibility. We may add that
Mr.. La Toilette entirely ignores the
inglorious close of lngersOll's career.
He wound up as counsel OF the star
route thieves. for whom he eNerted
not only his ability as a lawyer and
pleader-as he had right to do il
he chose-but the political influence
which he had at the time. We should
say that Mr.. La Follette's emotional
alteration of Ingersoll would not tend
to win the confidence of the sober
people of the middle west in the
cause" which he processes to en-
body.

LATE Young has now definitely an

been held before the election OF Ken
yon by the legislature, Young would
have beaten him a mile, but now the
result is uncertain. From a purely
personal standpoint the Globe would
be pleased to see Mr.. Young secure
the nomination. He is an Iowa boost

speaker and an all-around good fell

This primary would be outside OF the
regular primary and an extra cost OF
thousands of dollars. The old way
suits we'll enough. If you must have
it settled at a primary, incorporate it
with the customary primary. There
is going to be too much politics any

would only make it that much more.
