L am sued or prosecuted for the
simple reason that my charges have
been based upon facts.
In spite Of the vehement attack of
the Ohio man, my opinion remains
unchanged concerning the College on
Wheels. | am opposed to having the
railroads furnish free rides to those
who stand so near the fountain head
t public opinion. | am opposed to
having the farmers put in the atti-
tude Of charity school children I
adhere to the conviction that prac-
tical farming cannot be taught from
railroad train which stops a few
moments at the station That scien-
tific methods can be applied to agri-
culture there is no doubt. They have
been so applied in various parts of
the world, particularly in Europe
Never in the history of mankind,
however, has education gone about
on wheels after the manner of the So
called Agriculture Train. Such a
method does not admit of practical
success, and | venture to say that
three-fourths of the practical farm
ers in the State Of Georgia entertain
the same opinion that I have ventur-
ed to express.
The Ohio man quotes our Mr.. Duck
worth as being in favor of the train,
and calls Duck a practical farmer.
My idea had been that Duck is a
preacher, AMI that he was never so
eloquent as when delivering an en-
thusiastic speech in the Texas Con-
yentiOn in favor of the ship subsidy
crowd. If a man whose profession
it is to farm the farmer comes under
the heading Of farmer, Duck fills
the bill all right
The Ohio man in this Journal of his
eulOgizes the railroads in this con-
nection, saying that they don't run
the train to make money out of it,
but they haul it free of charge all
over the State from the public
spirited desire to build up the agri-
cultural resources along their lines
so that their business would be in
creased. If the railroads are so
kindly intent upon doing something
good for the farmers, why don't they
lower the freight on cotton, guano
and similar farm supplies? If their
true motive in running the train is
simply to get more freight to haul at
the same high rates, then the collu-
sion between the experts, the politi-
clans and the corporations is certain
ly not very altruistic. T. E. w.

THE CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST REC
ONINIENDING ONE OF THE
VILEST OF BOOKS.

The following letter explains it.
self:
Dear Sir: Enclosed is clipping
from the "Christian Socialist, a
copy Of which accidentally fell into
my hands.
Isn't the book referred to in this
paper, the miserable stuff you so
properly and scathingly exposed in
your articles on Socialism? Very
truly yours. w. F. Fisher.
Lynchburg, Va.
This is the clipping referred to:
A Fiftieth Edition
"Of any standard work is remark
able. 1t is phenomenal in the publ
cation of a Socialist book.
AUGUST BEBEL, the grand old
man of the German Social Democracy,
has lived to see his masterpiece
Woman and Socialism
reach this distinction. He has revised
it with almost every edition, and the
Jubilee Edition just published is an
imperishable work. 1t has been
translated into English and it's ap-
pearance will make deep impression
upon the female suffrage movement
now agitating our country.

Comment:
| have frequently referred to the
immortality advocated by orthodox
Socialism of the Karl Marx type as
represented by the great Socialist
writer, Bebel in Europe, and such
American Socialists as Upton Sim
clair, Daniel DeLeon, J. A. Wayland,
etc. To show what kind of book it
is that these Christian Socialists are
adopting as the Bible, I will quote a
page (343) of women Under Soc
ialism'', book written by Bebel the
recognized world leader of Social
ism and adopted officially by the So
cialists Of this country. 1t was trans
lated by DeLeon himself and was
Endorsed enthusiastically by the Wo-
mans committee of the National So
cialists Party. These ladies, last year
sent Bebel a rapturous telegram on
his birthday in which they unqualify-
ingly Endorsed him as leader.

Advertising art received severe criti-
cism at the hands Of Frank Alvah Par
sons, director Of the New York School
Of Fine and Applied Art, yesterday after
noon. in an address before the second
annual convention of the American Fed
Grafton Of Arts. which opened in the
morning at the New Willard Hotel.
Another matter OF Importance was the
advocation. by Leslie W. Miller. princi-
pal OF the Pennsylvania Museum School
Of Industrial Art of the National School
Of Industrial Art. to be established in
the Capital This Mr.. Miller said.
would place Washington in the first
rank among the other cities Of the world
in art
Life is. after all, the whole thing In
art" continued Mr.. Parsons. "and every
thing that comes out Of Rome is not
necessarily art. Advertising art, owing
to its extensiveness, has grown to be
one Of the most important branches OF
art to-day. and in no other field is so
much gross injustice done to art. than
by these same advertising artists"
Ridiculous Contrasts.
Mr.. Parsons raped those who persist
In ridiculous contrasts, such as using the
same picture or ornament in advertising
a breakfast food as they use in adver-
tising house for sale. or a coffin. The
picture must be akin to the subject to
serve its real purpose, he said, although
It was the object Of the advertising ar
fists TO first attract the attention and
then to hold It.
Mr.. Miller made a strong appeal for
the establishment of a national school
Of industrial art IN Washington. giving
for his reasons, governmental aid and
location.
Washington. as the seat Of govern
ment, is the logical location for the
school. he maintained. and even IL the
government did not respond to the de-
mand. the local population and visitors
would more than maintain the school.

DR.. Charles D. Walcott, secretary Of the

real estate operators are placing on the

COMPREHENSIVE that it will be a matter

One nei9hborhood which has built up

With an outlook directly into Rock Creek

direction. Another year or two certainly
will see all the remainder OF the land

At the present time Kennedy Bros.

marketing Of a double row OF about
forty houses on Lamont street between
18th and 10th streets. In fact, all OF these
houses, with the exception OF one. have

prices ranging from $500 to $1,000 The
