a very progressive nation, q land
where the people rule, and think our
selves far ahead Of the kingdoms II
Europe, the Progressive Farmer Edl-
tor continued. but the truth is we are
away behind the times in scores Of es-
sential things. Some Of us think e.e
months term enough for rural schools
without COmpulSiOn, when even Japan
gives ten and cOmpeis attendance. We
are robbed by an iniquitouS tariff and
a high direct tax rate, when we should
shift the main burden to luxuries,
lnheritaEces and incomes. We make
no special provision for furnishing
money to farmers, and don't even pro-
vide a Torrens system that would en-
under present regulations. We have
child labor laws that EurOps looks
on as almost barbarOuS Medical in
spectiOn of school children is still in
the future. Railroads, telegra phs,
telephones and express companies
charge us eXorbitant rates, whereas
practically every European govern
ment either owns these conveniences
or keeps rates down to a minimum.
No wonder they laugh at our political
platforms as mere sound and fury,
Slgnlfylng nothing"
But, after all. Mr.. Poe added, here
| in North Carolina there are abund
| for optimism. 'sWhat we need is
simply a closer cooperation Of the
men who really stand for progress.
There are plenty of them. If we can't
get things moving otherwise, we may
do like Denmark and send to Congress

they were as we'll educated as IN Den
