Patro1ize Your Home Merchants

To patronize your home merchants
and industries is not only patriotic
and duty of good citizenship, but ii
Is to your personal advantage, both
financially and sociologically. The
truth is that every dollar spent in
your home town will find its way
back to your purse, but the dollar
spent away from home Is In all pro
bability gone forever. The profit on
each dollar Of business transacted at
home enrlches the community 10 that
extent and increases tho value OF
property.
Yet many persons in our commu-
nifty as well as elswehere are in Ne
ality wasting money, time and energy
to get to some larger town or city
stahedly every year for the simple
purpose of spending their money
among strangers, The money was
earned at home, and those strangers
among whom 1t is spent are not like
B to do anything for the upbuilding
of our town. or course our good
neighbors are ready to give reasons
why they are doing SO; but their rea-
sons are curious and eyasiye crea-
lures like the will of the whips, whlc
we saw with fear and trembling in
our childhood days behind grandfath-l
er's barn. Without ensering into any
long by arguments we believe that
according to common horse sense, ii
IS the duty to every loyal citizen to
support financially and morally your
home merchants and to subscribe for
your home paper.

A Boy and His Goat.

Down in Benton county, Ark, last
year, a fifteen year-old boy raised
fifty bushels of corn ON an acre
of dry, flinty hillside. He plowed the
ground with a small pillow he had mar
ufactured himself out of discarded
scrap iron at country blacksmith
shop. incidentally the motive powerd
of the pillow was billy goat.
The boy did not belong TO any corn
club and did not use any scientific
methods of cuba.vating his lands, but
he grew more corn on his acre of
rough ground than many of the near
by farmers who used up-to-date i'm
plements and who prided themselves
on their corn growing ability. The
boy explained his crop to his astonish-
ed nelghbors at harvest time by say
ing that he had continually wonelkd
OF Agriculture heard of his accom-
pllshment and this year has supplied
him with the best seed corn to be
obtained. The boy is going after
record of leo bushels to the acre and
he probably will make it If the goat
holds out. The Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Offered to furnish him with
a horse or a mule, but the offer was
declined with thanks and the pillow is
being operated by the goat power as
If this years crop is as
big as last years the boy is to be
taken to the Arkansas State Fair to
display his queer farming outfit along
with samples OF his crop.
The achievement of this mountain

good deal to the farmers OF Arkansas

DON'T BLAME
The NEWSPAPER
Milwaukee Clergyman Tells
Some Plain Facts to
His People.

That the clergymen appreciate the
influence of newspapers as ksenly as
any class of professional men in this
country Is evident from the frequency
with which they allude to them in
their sermons. Here Is what the
Rev F. Stanley Powles, OF Milwau-
'kee. told his congregation on re-
cent Sunday evening.
I'VE. as citizens OF the metropolis
of Wisconsin do not half appreciate
what our newspapers are doing for
Of ten we ought Ito give them cred
it for the effectiveness of their work
in molding public opinion. Co-opera-
ton and not condemnation should be
our policy. 1t exerts much power
for good, and IL the church of to-day
Is looking forward to the church of
tomorrow to he a factor for good 1t
must acknowledge this in every phase
of life
Our press does exert moral in
fluence, and many of its editorials are
splendid lay sermons. Its exposing
graft and denouncing crime and un-
derhand political schemes, as it now
does, is proof of itself that it is de-
cidedly favorable TO morality.
''If the public demands flaring
headlines of crimes and debauchery,
the newspapers will publish them.
Don't blame the press for what you
yourself take an active part in. The
church flags the Sunday newspapers,
when it's success Is made what it is
by the patronage of the Christian
church.
The press has its faults. 1t makes
sad mistakes in many things, and at
times forgets the real wants of our
city. We do not need warnings at
all times, and in this particular 1
feel that our city papers create
wrong impression.
"a clean press means a clean city,
and TO obtain this we should not de-
nounce but cooperate in raising the
standard. We as Christians do not
familiarize ourselves with the actual
needs, and then see to it that things
are improved. We sit back and decry
our city press and try our utmost to
make our denunciation effective.
This only widens the branch between
church and press and nothing is
gained. Our Milwaukee, press is at
fectfng the morals of our ssrsatseity,-
and in my opinion rightly. ~
when our clergy fully realize that
cooperation and not denunciation is
needed to improve humanity, then
shall We appreciate what the press is
doing for our city We have not an
editor in our city but who is wiling
to corporate with us in making his
paper one Of power for good If We
show ourselves to be in the right at
titude Tor harmony"

the Philippine Archipelago in subjec-
ton, but would free and help the Fill
pinos to establish an independent gov
eminent.
Calls II Moral Duty.
1T is, therefore, a moral duty of
the United States to the Filipinos. to
give them their own government. and
assure them the free enjoyment of
their independence, by means of an in
ternational agreement. That the time
is ripe for the liberty of the Filipinos
and for the naturalization of the Is
lands, is evident. During thirteen
years of American occupation. the Fill
ipinos have shown that they are q
progressive. civilized, law abiding,
liberty loving people. and the senti-
ment of the civilized world in favor
of peace is so strong that it will be
an easy matter for the United States
to get the powers TO agree to neutral
ize the Philippine Islands"
| Opposition to consideration of any
legislation looking to Philippine indie
pendence, even such law as would
give assurances to the Filipinos that
they would get their independence at
the end of designated term of years,
comes only from the administration.
President Taft and his advisors de-
clare that the work of fitting the Fill
pinos for self government has not pro-
crossed far enough. He has as q SYM
pathetic audience only the American
employees of the Island government,
men generally of Republican faith who
are drawing salaries in the Orient
that are triple and sometimes four
times greater than their highest earn
ing capacity here. These employees
who participate in daily expense OF
100000 for maintaining the Island
government, an estimated expense
owing to the inability of congress to
find out just what the islands now
and have cost the tax payers of the
United States, have warm supporters
in army officers. The retention Of the
islands means more soldiers and more
soldiers mean more officers and many
details for these officers which are ac-
companied by greater authority and.
: what is much more important to them
greater pay.
Controverting President Taft's ex-
pressed belief that the Filipinos have
> to be schooled a much longer time be-
fore their country is turned over to
them, is President Schurmann, of
Cornell University, man fitted to
weigh and dissect the mental fitness
of a nation. He studied the Filipinos in
the Philippines, and declares that they
are fifty years advanced over the Gu
bans, who have Jared much better at
the hands of the United States.
