A contributor to the current issue
of the Farm and Fireside says that
the time is coming when farmers will
have to increase the wages of their
help. Following is an extract:
There is one phase Of the ques-
ton that the farmers rarely touch on
in speaking of farm labor difficulties,
and that is the wage problem. Back
as far as 1870 farmers were paying
about as much for hired men as they
are now, yet nobody ever seems to
take into consideration the fact that
if better wages were paid young men
might be attracted to the farms.
I'm my childhood a neighbor OF
ours who needed a man the year
around paid a young capable farmer
one dollar per day, furnished MIN
house rent, fuel, chickens, COW, pig,
and garden, and considered himself
fortunate to have him. That is about
as much as the married laborer can
get now and often farmers deduct
for holidays and stormy periods
when there is only the feeding on
hand. Personally, 1 know of gradu-
ates of agricultural schools being Of
fered only $25 and board per month
the same wages paid to unframed
and untaught workers. On our own
farm a young college student mot
an agricultural student) worked last
summer for $40 per month and
board, and was well pleased to get

TO PAY MORE FOR HELP

it. To be sure, he was only boy
with several fingers off of one hand,
which rather handicapped him, but
he was faithful, honest and intelll-
gent. He set his own price and said
he never earned that much before.
In my childhood my father paid
man $40 per month and kept horse
for him, putting UP with various
tribulations in the way of much run
ming to town and staying out nights.
Careful inquiry among our neigh
bors revealed the fact $40 per month
is considered a fair price for a young
and inexperienced farm hand, with
one dollar per day on working days
for a grown man.
Now, two and hundred and forty
dollars per year doesn't look very
attractive to the average youth, even
if living is thrown in. The time was
when a young man could pay atten-
ton to a young lady without very
much expense, but that time is past.
Entertainments, suppers, lectures
and all forms of amusement have
doubled in price, but the wages have
remained stationary. And when the
young man begins to think of set
ting up a home of his own what can
he do with the savings of two hun
dred and forty dollars per year? 1t
is no wonder the sons of farmers
take to town as soon as they are
old enough to work"

MRS. LEASE ON THE STUMP
NOTED WOMAN POPULIST WILL
SPEAK FOR BULL MOOSERS.
Was Conspicuous in Alliance Days,
and Is Central Figure in STIR
ring Georgia Campaign.

The noted Kansas populist and
spellbinder, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
Lease, is in her element again. She
is stumping the country in the inter-
ests of the progressive party and her
recent appearance in New York,
where she spoke during the noon
hour in Union Square, furnishes the
proof that she is still able to draw a
crowd. Mrs. Lease does not think
much of the democratic party and
calls it a "moribund mass of politi-
cal putrescence stenching the nos
trils of the people" She sees no
hope anywhere save in Roosevelt's
election.
Mrs. Lease is noted as writer
and lecturer. For many years she
has been active in the politics of
Kansas, and at one time ran on the
populist ticket for governor In the
campaign of 1890 she took a promi-
nent part and delivered a series of
161 speeches in the Alliance cam
paign of that year, resulting in the
retirepent of John j. ingalls, from
the United States senate. Mrs. Lease,
who was born in Pennsylvania, re-
moved to Kansas when a girl and
was admitted to the bar of that
state in 1885. In 1903 she had a
strong following in the state legis-
lature for United States senator. She
served as president Of the State
Board of Charities and was the first
woman in the history of Kansas to
hold that post.
OF late years Mrs. Lease has been
living in New York. She devotes
considerable time to literature and
lectures on literary, political and eco
nomic subjects. Women will Shout
der a considerable share of the bur-
dens of this years presidential cam
paign and not the least of the spell
binders whom they will place on the
platform will be Mrs. Lease.

BITTERNESS RUNS RAMPANT
JUDGE PARK HAS STIRRED UP A
HORNETS NEST IN ALBANY.
Town Is Fairly Seething in Anger,
and Meeting to Protest Against
Action Has Been Called.

ALBANY, Ga.-Albany has been
in a ferment since the new jury list,
as made up by the newly appointed
Jury commission, was made public
Friday afternoon. Matters rapidly
approached a climax Saturday.
A few days before the recent state
primary Judge Frank Park of the
superior court removed the old jury
commissioners for the reason stated
in the judicial order that they SEEM
ed to be unable to secure jurors who
would convict for open violations Of
law" Although the prohibition law
was not mentioned it was generally
understood that it was what Judge
Park chiefly referred to.
AS a protest against Judge Parks
action his name was scratched on
election day from more than half the
tickets voted in Dougherty county,
and the following day after the vote
had been canvassed by the county
executive committee an enthusiastic
mass meeting elected as executive
committeeman for the next two years
the very men who had been ousted
from the jury commi: sion by the
superior court Judge.
The newly appointed jury commits
sioners have been at work for some
time revising the jury list. The re-
suit of their work was made public
late Friday, and Immediately a great
uproar was heard. 1t is charged by
the most prominent critics of the new
Jury commission that the most prom
inent citizens of the county have been
ignored, and that the grand and tray-
erse Jury boxes have been packed
with the names of men who are not,
as a class, representative citizens.
In spite OF the fact that Albany has
large Jewish population there is
not the name of a Jewish citizen IN
the grand jury and but three in the
traverse jury box. The name of but
one Irishman appears. Other dis
tinctions are pointed out.
AS a climax to the bitterness which
the affair has created call was pub
lished, signed by every member OF
the city council in the city, as well
as by Chairman Tiff of the board OF
county commissioners, calling for a
mass meeting of protest.

The Athens Banner is of the opln-
ion that MIR. Alexander failed to
rally the prohibition vote beneath his
standard for the reason that the lead
ing prohibitionists of the state are
weary of being dragged into personal
political fights, when the only proper
way to fight for prohibition is to fight
for the issue itself" The Macon Tel
egraph makes the statement that
Georgia has a greatly preponderat-
ing majority of people who believe
in temperance" and that all law
abiding people are trying to enforce
the prohibition law, and expresses
the hope that there will be no re-
taxation of their efforts" All of this
sounds good, but it will not amount
ia very much until these esteemed
papers are as diligent in creating a
sentiment against lawlessness as they
have been in helping to elect their
fayorite candidates. Real prohiol-
tionists are interested in the triumph
of the cause rather than the success
of any candidate

Dawson Chapter.

There is no city in the state that
cannot be cleaned up if the forces
of Righteousness would combine in
the demand and cooperation in the
effort. They who are respectable and
righteous in any community are far
more numerous and far more infu-
entail than the opposite classes. Yet
the authorities cater to the wishes
of the immoral and unrighteous. 1t
is because this element insists upon
the right to violate the law while
the better and more influential ele-
ment remains Indifferent or inactive.
The question, then, if these things
be true, is to what extent do we be-
come responsible by such submission
when it has been again and again
demonstrated that we hold the pow
er of remedy when we wish to use it?
