FARM PRODUCTS AND POLITICS.

FARM PRODUCTS AND POLITICS.
A well.known Democratic editor
said, early in 1908, that nothing eX.
cept crop failure, a pestilence and
a panic would enable his party to beat
the Republicans in presidential
year. It will be noticed that none o!
these calamities Is in sight now, and
the election Is less than three months
away. In fact. the country Is in
rather salubrlous condition, hygienlc
ally. Not only is there no sign of
panic. but business OF all sorts is i'm.
proving In aHdegree which has gone
beyond all expectations This Is true
OF every important branch of activity.
Moreover, government crop reports
indicate that this will be year of
great abundance. In the aggregate
tie grain crops will break all the rec.
ords. For the frs, time In the coun.
try's history the products OF the
farms will pass the $lO.OOO.OOO.O 900

In that pleasant district that is situate
where StiIlaguamish descends with all
his followers to meet the coast, there
lived formerly fond agriculturist whose
tenderest hopes were summed by a radi-
ant daughter. At an early age she was
instructed in the classic languages and
latter in the romance tongues that echo
the Mediterranean along. Opening a
volume over which his fair offspring
had seemed to pore studiously, passage
after passage was found heavily under
lined, and selecting one that he dreamed
was deeply meditated, he copied it letter
by letter to have it translated. "N'est zee
pas une indelicatesse, I'm DELFT que de
surprendre les secrets les plus caches
dune femme" it began. Then it told
of a fellows boring a partition to sur
prise a lady bathing. When the old
gentleman got the drift of the thing he
was seized with malady, nor could any
medication arrest his decline until he
fell in with some religious zealots who
persuaded him that the world would
come to an end in 1914 Then he re
sumed his accustomed cheerfulness.

The theories of Marx regarding "bo-

by most socialists, including Mr.. Berger,
but as for myself, if it will not seem
presumptuous, | warm to them like a
kitten to a brick Only within a decade
has farming yielded the average return
on capital. A large percentage of the
farms have been not only mortgaged,
but they have been mortgaged subject
to foreclosure. The capitalist did not
foreclose because he did not want the
farms. Now population increases rap
idly but the land area is constant. Con
sequently pressure is made on the limits
of subsistence and natural monopoly
is evolved which benefits farming. Farm

When you are reproached with lack
of patriotism by some fellow with a
belly on him like tea kettle ask him
if he carries an insurance policy-ask
him if it specifies that he is not to en-
gage in war, no, not even in defense of
his eountry-ask him if he thinks that
large corporations, that pledge millions
of men so healthy that they are able to
pass standard medical examinations, to
refuse the call of their country in its
greatest distress, I say ask him if he
thinks such large corporations unconsti-
tutional. 1t is true that at the incep-
ton of the Spanish American wark, the
companies, both fraternal and old-line,
waived this condition of the insurance
contract, but it was only because they
saw the war would be of short duration,
It is plain that their liberality would
diminish as the need of the country
would increase.
