NAY CALL SPECIAL SESSION.

Some OF the Democrats are now
very busy trying 20 frame up a spe-
ciaI session Of Congress for President
elect Wilson. Mr.. Bryan. Congress
man Underwood, the Democratic
leader In the House. and . few other
Congressman. favor a special session,
TO revise the tariff. 10 follow on the
heels of the reguls. session. which
will expire the fourth OF next March.
Mr.. Wilson has not stated whether
he fayors a special session of Con-
gress TO revise the tariff, but he has
asked the newspaper correspondents
10 obtain for him a list Of the names
of those who have spoken in inter
views or by letters printed In the
newspapers for or against an extra
session. Governor Wilson stated that
he would decide the question within
a few weeks. Those favoring spe-
cial session claim that the country
should not have to wait another year
before seeing tariff for revenue
only" enacted into law The conser
vative Democrats do not favor a spe-
cial session to revise the tariff, but
think the longer the matter is put off
the better it will be for the country.
The Charlotte Observer does not ia
vor a special session, and thinks a
year hence will be early enough for
the Democrats to tinker with the
tariff A correspondent of the Obser-
yer, commencing it's editorial oppos-
| ing an extra session, says:
Il heartily agree with your
editorial in to-day's Observer in
| which you claim that the Demo-
Gratis ought not to call an extra
session of Congress, business of
the United States is good and
the fewer fools we can have to
NEEDLE with the tariff, the bet
ter"
Evidently when the Observers cor
: respondent voted the Democratic
ticket he didn't expect the ticket to~be
elected A special session would
doubtless be playing into the hands
: of the opposition as the country
would have time to realize what a
Democratic tariff bill would mean be-
fore the voters are called on to elect
another Congress two years hence,
while if the Democrats wait a year
before beginning work on their new
tariff bill the new schedules would
not go into effect in time for the
country to fully realize their effect
, before another Congress would be
chosen. From a political viewpoint
the opposition will not oppose a spe-
= ial session to revise the tariff

Mr. Burgess Thinks Most Fairs Re
quire Too Much Of FaSmc<S-


quir~ Too Mach OF Farme<S-
The State and County Fair 10 a
educational institution where instrue-
tion In picked mp By observation. d<sa-
onssration. and compariscn OF prod
uets. There In no question that the
fair In unequalied IN q place for get
ting progressive farmers together and
permitting them 20 compare notes on
their several lines OF progress and &C
sivity during the year. But Why
should the fair arrangements require
them TO do more than compare notes
and samples OF produets7
There used TO be n tendency on the
part OF the fair managements. not
only In this but all States. 20 require
the exhibitor TO enter all the pump
kins in his patch. all the corn In his
fields. and all the hogs and cattle on
his farm for the simple purpose OF
making a show. This requirement
was doubtless all right In Its day. but
we feel that It's day has passed.
The real purpose Of the fair 10 the
education OF the farmer and his fam
lily In the fundamental principles OF
the production OF high yields OF good
quality at the least cost. The battle
for the prizes should be one of ideals
and individual judgments rather than
the quantities and displays.
Who would advise a farmer TO grow
seven or eight different kinds OF
wheat, FIVE or six different varieties
of corn and oats and as many differ
ent kinds OF pumpkins, potatoes.
peas, domestic grasses, etc? Who
would advise a live stock grower TO
produce Duroc Jerseys. Berkshores.
Yorkshires, and Poland Chinas all on
the same farm? Yet. We do infre-
Quently see at our leading fairs one
farmer exhibiting as many as six diff
ferent varieties of wheat, oats, corn,
and as many varieties OF pumpkins.
cabbages, potatoes, etc. No COM
mercial corn grower would think OF
growing flint corn, dent corn, yellow
corn, white corn, blue corn, speckled
corn, etc, all on the same farm, and
yet all these different kinds OF corn
may be found entered by one man at
some of our fairs in any one season
in compliances, it would seem, with
the demands of the premium list.
Instead, therefore, of offering lib
eral prize for the most varied" ex-
hibit, we should, it would seem, offer
liberal prize for the best ten ears
of corn from the most productive
acre, grown at the least cost per bush
ell. Similarly for wheat. Not 500
for ten bushel display, but 500 for
the best peck from the most produc-
| tive acre grown at the lowest cost per
bushel. By this means we would not
only get greater number of entries,
because more easily made, but We
would, at once, connect the fair with
our farm practices and make it an in
| tegral part of farm economy and thus
stimulate our farmers to greater eff
fort in increasing the average acre
yields of our staple crops.

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF

Some are wondering IL the Demo
Gratis will put the same kind of tariff
bills up to President Wilson as those
passed by the Democrats during the
last session. 1t is a safe prediction
that they will not. The Democrats
knew that their bills would never be-
come law. They were simply playing
cheap politics.
The Charlotte Observer, comment
ing on the action of the Democrats
during the last session of Congress,
says:
There was never the slightest
idea that this legislation would
become law. 1t was not taken
seriously by the country-which
for the Democracy was unques-
tionably good thing. 1t repre-
sented the more or less legiti-
mate exploitation of the lime
light, the desire of at least going
through the motion of doing big
things after having been long
subordinate to other control"
The Democrats can't play politics
with the tariff any longer, but must
now get down to business. Of course,
no one can tell just what kind of a
tariff bill they will frame up when
they begin their work, for they do not
know themselves, but if they pass a
free trade bill another Congress will
revise the tariff again two years
hence.
