BORN ON A FARM"

We note that some iconoclast has
started movement against the time
honOrcd and well-warn SLOGAN OF the
politician, Born on IA farm.
One editor over in West Florida
has gone so far as to state that he
will neither support nor vote for any
candidate who emphasizes this born
on a farm" business AS Il claim upon
the voter. Others have seconded the
motion, and it begins to look as II
man will have to produce some other
evidence of fitness for Office besides
the fact that he was born on the
farmland left it as early in life
as he could get away.
We confess that we have never
seen the reason why man should
be chesty about being born on a
farm. In the first place, no particu-
lar credit Is due him, for the reason
that he was not consulted as to the
time or place of his birth, and II he
had been it is probable that he would
have selected some place other than
the farm--as evidenced by the fact
that in many instances the politician
who shouts the phrase lOudest en-
braced the first opportunity to turn
IL. ho IF life
Moreover, other things besides poll
ticians are born on farms, though
they don't make as much fuss about
it. Hogs, redbugs, polecats and pol
lywOgs have an equal right with
demagOgic ofIice-seekers to point with
pride to the farm as birthplace
though they seldom exercise the priv
ilege
Unless. therefore, "A man can show
us that he has something else to rec
ommend him besides the accidental
selection OF farm as birthplace.
we must decline to enthuse. Almost
anybody, given the proper anteced-
ents can be born on farm. There
may be some credit in sticking to the
farm, or in going back to the farm,
hui this cutlery about being born on
a farm has been worked to limit.
and the voter is getting wise to the
barrenpess of such plea. We farm
ers will have no more of it, and We
nut the dear vote-hunter on notice.
that he may edit his speeches ana
campaign literature accordingly.
