Blow at Fact:un:l's"

This announcement by & "gress-
man Burke is the most lmp'it%@t de-
velopment OF the year in the political
field of South Dakota. Buikc SER
iously considered running !oi the
Senate against Gamble. lad he
done so. the chances of d It.iN of
the old, factional fight within Tia, re-
publican party in this state. all
along the line" would have been
considerably greater than with him
out of that contest. Just what
reasons finally induced him to como
to the conclusion to seek reelection
to his present sea- rather than the
Senate, are not disclosed. However.
it was clear to all that many of
CANDLES supporters are Burke men
and, since Gamble showed no dis
position to get out of the way, Burke
and he would have been appealing
largely to the same class if Burke
had run against him. Many of
Burke's friends advised him to wait
two years and run against Crawford
and his friends will interpret to d.
so. The fact that Gamble is out for
Taft may have had something to dc
in influencing burke's decision,
Wesley to Come Out.
Now that Burke is out Of the Sen
atorial field, it is not at all impos-
sible that Governor Vessey may be
induced to take the field against
Gamble. There is little pretense any
longer of any alliance between the
'progressives" of the state and SEN
ator Gamble. They do not regard
him as entitled to their support, and
Gamble is apparently making no bid
for it. He has all but openly broken
with Crawford.
At the same time the p%rogressives
as a whole are not satisfied with
either Sterling or Richards. The
former, a considerable number of
them regard as too much like Gamble
and the latter is not taken seriously
as a candidate by many of his former
associates. Wesley is the mar they
naturally suggest for their candi-
date, as his record in the governors
chair is consistent. Further. tho
impressive speech he made at the
Mitchell conference ser ed to send
the Wesley stock upward. With
Burke out of the field, Vessey could
appeal to the north end of the state
as a local candidate and his friends
would expect him TO carry the south
part of the state because it has
been regularly voting progressive.

Dixon is the nineteen-year-old lad

South Dakota state fair at Huron

Government TO HELP
OUT THE FARMERS
THE MESSAGE OF SCIENTIFIC
FARMING Is TO BE CARRIED
TO THE FARMERS in A ID.
RECT WAY.

Kansas City, ho.-The United
States Department of Agriculture in
tends to bring the message of scicn-
titic farming to the farmer on his
farm. Its plan is not to conflict with
work nov being done by the state ag-
ricultural colleges and state expert
mental station, but to cooperate with
that work and enlarge it. The plan
involves eventually the placing OF
a farm expert in every agricultural
county of the United States, to adj
wise and assist the farmer in getting
more from his soil and at the same
time conserve its fertility.
w. j. Spillman, head of the bu-
reau Of farm management at Wash
ington. told of the great national
campaign for better farming meth

President Taft. 1t is first to be
tried in the Northern states and
then extended over the entire coun-
try.
An Expert in Every County.
Our plan simply is this he said.
For every fifteen thousand, farms
We purpose to have a farm expert
who is to make a personal study and
investigation of the soil, the climate
and farm combinations of that dis
trict. He is to tell the farmer the
results of his Investigations through
bulletins, the newspaper and
through meetings at the schoolhouse.
We purpose to have the government
pay half his salary and expenses and
ask the state to join in paying the
other half. He is to work jointly UNI
der the direction of the state and Ia
tional agricultural departments. That
expert is to be the prophet of scien-
tiic farming in his community, the
leader or director.
But the plans of the federal de-
partment go ever further. We want
an expert in every county. We want
that man to devote all his time to the
study of farming in that county. He
is to be the farmer confessor' as it
were Of the farmers in his commu-
nifty. He is to make a more detailed
study of the soil through a soil sur
vey; he is to make a study of the eli
matte conditions; keep in touch with
the weather Office so as to sound
warnings to the fruit growers in
case of frost. He is to tell the
farmer, If he wants mis- advice, how
to diversity his crops SO as to pro-
duce the most crops, best conserve
the soil and at the same time con-
serve time and labor"
Will Redeem the Farm.
The national government wiz pay
half the expenses of this county cx-
pert, Mr.. Spillman said. The state
will be asked to pay o%ns-fourtn the
expenses of the county farmer
and the county the other fourth.

didate. In the general election the
candidates are voted upon, and the
one having the majority is elected by
the legislature. regardless OF what
party controls that body. This gives
the people the entire control of their
senators, and forces a legislature to
elect man of the opposing party in
case he receives the popular majority.
This plan is now being considered by
the Missouri legislature.
Whatever the arguments are in
favor of or opposing direct election

determined 1t shall come. The pro-

have it, and the near future probably
will see an amendment to the national

Viewpoints.
About Easter Holidays.

Editor The Missourian: l have nc
opinion to offer with regard to wheth
'er we should have Easter holidays.
But if We are to argue for them, let
us argue for them more soundly than
to say that this is a democratic insti-
tuition in which the student should
have what he wants; he wants Easter
holidays, ergo, he should have them.
This sort of argument appears as a
viewpoint in last nights Missourian.
When l spoke of wants" the other
day, / insisted that the reference was
to the reflective wants based upon an
analysis of fundamental needs compat-
ible with the best scholarship-which
l suppose we all really want and should
thus demand. If the demand for the
Easter holidays is a want truly neces-
sary to the interests of the best
scholarship, we shall no doubt have
them. But that is the question. Let
this and all other university matters
be argued from that larger standpoint
and that alone. ]. W. HUDSON.

FOR APPEARANCE.

In an effort to beautify the business
section Of Columbia, nothing could
lend itself toward this end better than
n city ordinance to the effect that
every business sign must hang par
allel to the street which fronts it and
against the building 1t advertises.
Such an ordinance would do away
with the more or less unsightly elec-
trio and painted signs that now hang
perpendicular to the buildings and
projecting from one to six or eight
feet out over the sidewalks. In their
efforts to attract the attention of as
many passers-by as possible, seekers
after business have pushed this
scheme of advertising to such an ex-
tent that 1t has become censurable

would out-sign all others, the worth
of individual signs has been lost and
the business house has gained little.
. By applying this rule to all business
houses. none would suffer, and the
streets would certainly present a more
pleasing appearance. As a matter of
fact, the space above sidewalks does
not belong to the business houses.
The law grants them the right to a
limited amount of space on the side
walks for stands. This should be
enough. F..
II the suggestion should be followed
out, those who have signs hanging at
right angles to the street would not
hesitate to abide by the ordinance.
The signs now in use could easily be
adjusted to parallel positions, no busi-
ness would suffer, and the streets
would be considerably improved in
appearance.

GREAT IS MELioRIsM.

Pessimism and optimism are two ex
tremes to avoid. One sees the hole ir
the doughnut; the other. see the
doughnut and fails to see the hole
The pessimist. of two evils, chooses
both. The optimist applies the white
wash and denies the existence OF
either.
A happy medium is meliorism. To
the meliorist. things are good, bad or
both. To him, a motion picture of
conditions presents itself, and no
phase of an event is lacking. He is
aviator-like, between heaven and hell,
and has no right-of-way to make his
path narrow.
The meliorist has absolute freedom.
He is not bound to the conventional
laws of thinking. He is the arbitrator
in the war of conflicting extremes.
He has the happy faculty of seeing one
point of view, and of taking glance
backward. To him, narrow-minded-
ness is as illogical in substance as 1t
is limited in perspective.
Unlike the pessimist, he goes far
ther and sees relief for corruption.
Unlike the optimist, he looks closely
and sees the sun spot in the supposed
ly faultless ideal. He blends the two
views in a practical, commonsense
whole.
And now abide pessimism, optimism
and meliorism, these three, but
The greatest of these is meliorism.

It is considered a school of molly

The men in the club this year are
working for the school, not for them,
