A Suit of Clothes

a speaker told the National
Wool Growers association
The suit | have cost me $50,
and it contains just SIS worth of
material. All we want in this
tariff business is a square deal. :"
The difference between the
price the producer gets for the
raw material and the price the
consumer pays for the finished
product is, then, $50 on a $50
suit. 1t has been pretty easy
money for the combination of
wool manufacturers.

LaFolIette. The Prophet

While Senator LaFollette, of
Wisconsin, was making his fa-
nous railroad speech five years
age, Senators Aldrich and Hale,
to show their contempt for the
views being expressed, retired
to the cloak room. AS they
passed out of the chamber La
Toilette said:
"Mr. President. | pause in
my remarks 90 say this. | can
not be wholly Indifferent to the
fact that Senators by their alb
sence at this time indicate their
want of interest in what | may
have to say upon this subject.
The public is interested. Unless
this important question is right
ly settled, seats now Temporal
rily vacant may be permanently
vacanted by those who have
the right to occupy them at
this time"
Again, while the tariff revis-
ion was under discussion, LaFol-
lette was insulted, and he said:
81 warn you that if you refuse
to consider every proposition
advanced in behalf of the public
and carry out your determine
tion to make this tariff legisla-
tion but the instrument by
which special interests may en-
rich themselves by unjust ex-
actions from the public, the
public will hold you responsible
and prove its resentment as
certainly as elections are held"
When the Senate convened
on April LaFollette's name
was called and he answered
But the names of Aldrich and
Hale were not called.

Taft is Committed
STOP KNOCKING.

Practically all the tariff bills
proposed by the Democrats have
been already indorsed by Presi-
dent Taft. He has character
lied the wool schedule as sin
defensible," and he has admit
ted that the cotton schedule
did not meet with his approval.
Minority Leader James r. Mann
introduced a bill last session
creating a long free list, and
while he did so merely as an
incident to a filibuster, it will
be hard for him to explain now
that he was not in good faith.
Thus it will be difficult to just
ify a Presidential veto for any
of these bills.

Stop your Knocking

DdltltnOTe mas Hdu SOME pOOu
advice from Tom Richardson,
the expert boomer of cities, one
of his admonitions being stop
knocking" We have been Civ
ing the same advice to Balti-
more for several years, WITH
OUT CHARGE, but we have
no doubt Mr.. Richardson's adj
vice came considerably higher
and is appreciated. We have
not been alone in giving this adj
vice to Baltimore. Nearly evey
county newspaper in the State
has editorialised on the same
subject. The Baltimore papers
have done more to injure the
city than any other medium.
They have EDUCATED THE
PEOPLE of Baltimore to be-
lieve that half the population
is unreliable and on the beat;
they have done their level best
to ALLEVIATE the counties by
Misrepresentation of their obli-
CATION to the city, forgetting
that THE COUNTIES HAVE
FURNISHED TO BALTIMORE
its ablest financiers, business
and professional men. If Balti-
more helped to educate them by
paying more taxes than the
counties, the city has been
benefited by their presence.
If Baltimore has helped the
counties, the counties have sent
to Baltimore thousands and
millions of dollars for merchan-
disc, that could just as we'll
have been spent elsewhere.
If Tom Richardson had been
asked, "WHAT SHALL WE
DO ABOUT THE COUNTIES?
He would have replied: "Do.
Do.. Why take them to your
bosom, tell them they are well
come to all they get. That
Baltimore is glad she is able to
help them, and they can pay
her back by dealing in Balti-
more, by saying a good word
for Baltimore, by being loyal to
Baltimore, by feeling that Bal
timore is the HOME of every
Marylander and he is welcome
to Baltimore's best. Under no
conditions business or politi-
cal-should the idea of CITY
AGAINST THE STATE be al
lowed to exist. You should be
a united people endeavoring by
good will and a cheerful optim-
ism to make Baltimore a great
er city than you ever dreamed
it would be-"

The Democratic Program

1.-THE Democratic legislative
program, says ellison Gardner,
friend of Roosevelt and one Of
the veteran Washington news
paper correspondents" is one
more in the interest of the peo-
pie and less in the interest of
special privilege than any pro-
gram outlined in Congress for
many years. The new ways
and means committee for a
change is made up of men who
are not committed to special
privilege"

Education For The Farmer.

When men enter the field Of law,
medicine and several other phases
of activity they are compelled to
show certain qualifications for their
work, but who ever heard of IN an
having to show evidence Of any
certain equipment before he could
become a farmer? About all the
requirements that the past has put
upon the farmer are that lac be
born and that me have no more
than enough money to buy small
tract Of land
II has not been the history Of hui
manity that simply being born ever
fitted n person very well for any
thing. 1t took long time for
people to find this out about farm
ing. However, that time has come,
and many schemes arc being tried
by which the farmer may become
educated
Some hold 'hal all lho education

FARM NOTES.
Spraying Demonstrations.
by Verde Peterson, Science Teacher, Chenille
State Normal SCHOOL,

The West Virginia Legislature
appropriated several thousand dol.
lars for eacn of the new two fiscal
years to the purpose of horticulture
extension work. Much of this mon.
ey is bong spent this year in spray
ing demonstrations in various parts
of the state.
Any community sufficiently inter
ested can secure enc Of these spray
ing demonstrate 1ns. The work is
under the direction of Dean Il ID.
Sanderson of the West Virginia Ag-
ricultural college at Morgautown.
Any one Interested in these dem.
onstrations should write Dean San
derson fer information on the work
The machinery and spray material
is furnished ana the only thing the
farmers OF a community have to do
lis to furnish little transportation
for machinery. Pruning demon
STATIONS are also given at the same
time. The state sends out men
who are familiar with the work and
who are able to give plenty of infor-
nation on fruit growing and tell
farmers whore to get even more in
formation. Each county of state
should have some advan tage of this
work and if it does not the citizens
of the county are to blame. APP
pies or any other kind of fruit can
not be raised successfully in West
Virginia without care in the way of
pruning and spraying. This work
cannot be done successfully unless
the farmers know how to do it.
The state has given the farmer this
opportunity to learn the work.
The question is will he do it?
The first move to make in the
matter is to write Dean Sanderson
and ask him to send blanks for
having petition signed up to pre-
sent to the College of Agriculture.
1T is necessary for at least five farm
ers of each community to sign this
petition as an evidence of good
faith. If any community is inter
ested in this work it would be well
to look after it at once since the
spraying season will be over before
arrangements can be made if the
matter is delayed.
Any farmer who will get all he
can from our state in the way CT in
formation on the fruit business and
secure the bulletins sent out b, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
and then read some good frui t
papers can soon learn many of the
essential things of frait growing.
