money and his sacred modesty for
permission to serve the public and
promote the general we'll being of his
country men. This Is q most admir-
able condition OF mind abstractly con-
sidered. In the concrete it often be-
comes q bore to those not 90 patriot
ically inclined and q source OF disap-
pointment and bitterness to q model
citizen who makes this conception of
duty a law to his conduct. 1t is un.
necessary to mention ames In this
connection by way Of furnishing ex-
amples and Illustrations as aids to
imagin alton and experience of our
readers; some Of US may know how it
is ourselves.
There is also the candid ate who
leaves public duties behind him tina:
be may secure the mandamus of the
public to cloths himself with other
duties and ACCOMPLISHMENTS
he asks for q vote of confidence that
will condemn him to q longer lease Of
servitude after be has already sacri-
feed the majority of things he holds
dear in the position he covets again
mainly because he has acquired the
habit of living in that fashion. This
candidate knows by experience what
he is to expect, and his endurance of
the evils is assured by his experience,
as the character of the OK is judged
by the scars on his neck. For this
candidate we have no sympathy-he
will only suffer if denied the oppor.
tunity to continue the sufferings to
which be has hardened himself. .
Another candidate continues at his
post as the Roman soldier waited to
be suffocated in his armor at the gate
of Pompeii. and as Casabianca stood
on the deck Of the burning ship-he
takes it for granted that his fellow
citizens will admire his attitude so
much that they will vote for him with
out a request, save in the shape OF a
circular from headquarters. Usually
this man finds q lack of appreciation
on the part Of the public that comes
like a cold shower bath to the unex-
pected shoulders-that ia confusing
as a sun.stroke and painful as q club.
We can extend to him sympathy for
his woes but no admiration for his
judgment, and we are glad to see that
somebody has 80 much confidence in
US, but we consider his modesty de.
serving Of all praise. However, we
usually think q gift is worth q request,
and keep it till asked for.

THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.

The presidency Of the American
democracy. the head ship Of more than
90. OOO, 900 self governing people, is
clothed with a real sanctity.
1t is sacred because it expresses and
inc arm ates the sovereignty OF the PEG.
pie, who are the fount OF authority
and the source of law and power.
The sacredness of personality is
embodied ia the supreme office that
embodies the personal authority OF
over 80, 600, 900 Americans who have
delegated their sovereignty to one nan
for four years.
The American presidency is the most
august of human authorities in the
sphere of secular government. Not
even the king of England nor the EN-.
peror Of Russia compares in this re.
spect with the president of the United
States. They represent merely the
tradition of inherited and external ~.
thority over their subjects. He stands
forth as the people themselves
through their fellow citizen exercis-
ing sovereignty. Lack of respect for
the presidency would result In loss OF
reverence for the people.
The presidency has been glorifed
by the craftsmanship Of Washington
and sancti6ed by the martyrdom Of
Lincoln.
1t has been held up by Jefferson ant
Madison, by Roosevelt and Taft, .
presidents, to the lofty level to whicl
the father and the savior of his coun
try each lifted it.
A president ia not merely the fire.
citizen of the United States, but
that plus the public and official cit
zenship of all Americana as embodie
in his high Office.
1t ought therefore to be held in re,
erenac by every citizen. for it e.
presses him at his largest and best q
IN American.
Loss of reverence for what the pres
dency stands for would inaict era,

FARM CROPS.

At q recent convention of bankers
in Oklahoma an address was made by
. delegate from Kansas on what Kaf-
fir corn has done financially for his
section. He said this plant OF COM
paratively recent introduction had
lifted the farmers in his region from
poverty to remarkable prosperity, and
that tillers of the soil with the aid OF
this new ad vsntsge had more money
on deposit than at any former time.
In this Ease there had been q search
for q crop to cult peculiar conditions
OF climate, rainfall, soil and length OF
season and the African seed had been
studied and adjusted to its best uses.
Many Americans are not fully aware
of how much has been done for the
exceptional advancement of this coun.
try by q right Interpretation OF some
humble. neglected plant, or the dis
covery OF one in other continents that
will thrive even better in this. A weed
has been defined as a plant misunder-
stood. Tobacco, that enters so exten.
sively into the commerce and life OF
ell countries, ia still called q weed.
But It founded q %civiliz alton in Amer.
lea, and its culture, though at length
1t exhausted the primitive soil of Vir.
ginia, goes or in every continent.
The fret white men who landed In
the New World found maize, potatoes,
and tobacco we'll understood by the
Indians, though all were new to the
strangers. Maize ia an exception
among plants, for the parent form has
never been found growing wild. Bur-
bank thinks be has identified it with q
Central American grass whose seeds
ripen at the top.
Cotton is the white mans own
triumphant development. 1t matters
little that the Chinese and Indians
wOve il into fabrics on q limited scale
centuries ago. American ingenuity
made for it q new place in the world
until its production in this country
has reached Is, 600, 900 bales q year,
representing a source of wealth whose
creation has had few parallels.
Observation has worked wonders in
plant adaptations. The best varieties
of apples were first noted by some one
unknown, and would have been los,
