School should Teach Farming.


Spokane, Wash, Jan. 12--"An agri-
cultural school or an experiment sta
ton should be established in the out
skirts Of every large city in the Unit
ed States declares r, ]. Maclean, sec
retary of the Spokane chamber of com
merce He believes this would, in a
measure, solve the cost of high living
and would direct attention to the pro
duction of basic resources. Continu-
ing he said:
DO not agree with the president of
the Washington Educational associa-
tion when he says that more attention
should be devoted in the schools to
commercial lines. believe we should
first devote our attention to education
in agriculture and mining. These are
the pursuits from which all wealth
emanates and on which all other pur-
suits are dependent. Increase activity
in these lines and you, preforce. must
increase activity in commercial and
all other lines
TIf the schools teach agriculture, ag-
riculture will become more popular.
We will then have more farmers. and
naturally NOR production and more
valuable resources.
If J had my way about it there
would be an agricultural school or an
experiment station in the outskirts of
every large city to educate young men
in things pertaining to the farm. The
now is that the city man
who wants to learn something of agri-
culture must usually go a long distance
away, entailing great expense. In the
cities there are thousands Of people
who merely exc out an existence. How
much better they would be if they we're
on farms.
The country boy who comes to the
city for the first time is very green
with respect to city ways. But there
is nothing greener than the city boy
on farm for the first time. Our city
people do not know enough about
and if they knew more we
would be able to solve. in a measure.

During the forty-nine years ending

positors in national banks that have
failed and been liquidated was $37 900.
0O0. Sixty per cent in number of these
failures were caused by acts in direct
violation of the national bank law. One
tenth OF cent deducted from each dol
lar of Individual deposits now held by
the banks would cover all losses that

years through failures where there was

the deposits of the government itself.
The national government assumes
guardianship of all national banks in
order that the public may have conf
dence in them but shows no confidence
in them itself. 1t requires that its own
deposits be secured by bonds. 1t strikes
us that what the government demands
for itself should be given the people.
Then the same happy condition would
prevail throughout the nation that pre-
walls in Oklahoma, where no depositor
in state bank has lost a dollar since
statehood.

The protest that has arisen in GER
tain portions of the state against the
maintenance Of the state game war
den's office is criticism without Just
cause. When it is suggested that this
office be abolished in order to reduce
the expense of state government the
critic evidently forgets that this is one
department that has never from the
day of its organization had an appro-
priation from the general revenue fund
of the state. The Office is supported
by the sale of hunting licenses. No
one is compelled to purchase a license.
He can buy license if he wants to;
he can let it alone if he prefers. The
sportsmen of the state are the ones
who support the office, they want the
office maintained, and they are salts
fed with the administration of the de-
partment.

Why did the socialist state conven-
tion adopt resolution condemning the
Appeal to Reason? Their leaders have
known for years that the Appeal is a
private enterprise conducted on cap
italistic principles. They have long
been aware that it has made Wayland
rich at the expense of his credulous
readers. They have long realized that
the Girard organ knows only one prin-
ciple and that is the cash register
principle Moreover they have indig-
nantly denied the allegation of Okla
homa democrats that the Appeal is a
private enterprise operated for private
gain. Now they admit that the demo-
Gratis were right and that they them
selves We're wrong. And there's a rea-
son.
The Appeal now has a local COM
petitor. The Pioneer is fighting for
al available shekels. 1t is not content
with being Socialist Bible No. 2. 1t is
determined to. be the only Socialist
Bible. The crowd who operate the
Pioneer have seen Wayland become
rich and they desire to duplicate his
performance. Like the Girard pub
Usher they are not in journalism for
their health. or for socialist principles
either, for that matter. They have de-
nounced monopoly, but they succeeded
in putting one over the Appeal readers
down on the farm, and slip through
resolution seeking to give them the
power of monopolizing the journalistic
field of scialism. The Appeal has con-
verted majority of the socialists of
Oklahoma, and it must be admitted
that delusion never chose a more in
famous instrument in more unhal-
lowed cause. The Pioneer has possibly
converted a dozen But it is cash not
that the gang are hungering
and thirsting after. Hence a resolution
IS passed serving notice on the Appeal |
hat 1t must get out of the state.

August Bebel is a socialist, there is
no question as to that. In his much
quoted work on Woman page 229,
he gives the following delectable NOR
sci of socialism:
THE qualification Of the sexual inn
pulse is as strictly the personal affair
of the individual as, every other nat
ural instinct. No one has to give ac-
count to himself or herself, and no
third person has the slightest right to
Interfere"
Is this the philosophy of socialism? /?
It is undoubtedly the philosophy of
prostitutes and libertines. 1t declares
that individual prostitution is no ones
business but that of the individual Of
fender. That is the contention of the
degenerate. According to Bebel, every
restriction placed upon sexual gratifica-
tion shall be ignored or repealed. The
logical result of. socialistic administra-
ton is the ignoring of the seventh com
and the repeal of the statutes
against adultery and fornfication.

Mr. Davidson. a fairly well known
writer on socialism, says in his book,
The Older Order and the New" pages
1896: "All unions win be unions of
affection and esteem and children, as
of old, will primarily be the children
of the mother Her right to select the
father Of her own children is absolute.
In such society all children will be
equally legitimate, and the seventh
commandment will become practically
absclete."
This is not intended as an attack
upon socialism, nor do we allege that
socialism means the abolition of the
seventh commandment. We simply
quote the statement of a leading So
cialist writer wherein he declares that
under the reign of socialism the com
mandment Thou shalt not commit
adultery" will become obsolete.

ment he alone was responsible for such
teaching. But when the socialist or
ganization indorsed his speech and be-
gan circulating it as good socialist doe
trine the party became equally respons,
ible with Quelch And the socialist
party will be held responsible for it.
