National Crop Insurance

This is one Of the issues advocated by r. 0. Richards, a candi-
date for U. S. Senator. He has given the subject some study, and
believes that at a few cents per acre per year the government can
insure all the farmers against loss of their crop from causes over
which they have no control. such as hail, drouth, flood; etc. to the
extent of the investment made, including a fair salary for the
farmer for his own work. He argues that the man who raises the
crop is a public benefactor and agriculture. as the basis of all
other wealth. should and could be made absolutely safe by means
of a national crop insurance system.
II Won favor this proposition YOU can take the first step to-
ward putting it in effect by voting for Mr. Richards at the primar-
les June 4th. Respectfully,
RICHARDS SENATORIAL COMMITTEE.

The Swift White Streak
By F. st. Mars.

~HE great golden eagle, air king
Of the mountains, came beating
= along the mountain side in grand
curving sweeps. All beneath him, and
above and around. for miles. far as
the eye could see. was one glittering,
dazzling, eye-aching white world Of
snow; for this was the land Of the
mountains and it was winter.
The eagle was hungry and looking
for food; and that which, within nalL
eagles eye, is not worth taking account
OF, as a rule. Yet he passed clean over
the mountain hare-Within 20 yards,
in fact-and never saw him, and the
hare was on the bare snow, bang in
in the open, and without so much
cover near him as would hide a mouse
Moreover, even If you had looked and
looked straight at the hare, If you had
had him pointed out TO you even, you
would not have seen him.
Later, when the eagle had gone and
he had waited a few minutes TO mako
quite sure the terrible bird was not
coming back, the hare got up ana
limped off with that uncertain, Ildg-
ETY. gait hares have, and in doing so he
explained the mystery of himself.
In the first place he had kept as
still as a stone, and in the second ne
was White-White as the very snow It
self white from head TO foot except
the tips Of his long ears, and they were
black as jet The coat had come to
him in the autumn, when, as the snow
began to fall he had grown e brand
new white winter coat to replace the
greyish-blue summer one. 1t was a
very useful coat for you cannot see
a white beast in snow If he doesn't
move; and the hare had learnt all about
the art of lying low from his mother
when he was q baby
How necessary was the protection
was seen the next moment, he having
very many enemies Suddenly, ana
slightest reason, the hare dropped IN
his tracks-r1gid as a rock Nothing
happened. Nothing moved All that
vast frozen. white world Of upflune
mountain and deep valley. where the
sun rarely If ever penetrated, seemed
IS utterly deserted and devoid of life
as a desert.
Then what happened to be a little
heap OF snow against which the hare
had flung himself shifted a fraction
in a protesting sort OF way, as If ask
ing him to get off as quietly as pos
sible. and the hare jumped about two
yards with fright He had sat upon
a ptarmigan, who also was as white
as snow all over, except for q black
mark in the front OF each eye There
were several Of them dotted about in
the snow, but not one could you see.

The hare. however having once
moved. had given the show away" so
far as he himself was concerned. He
seemed TO now this, for he turned and
galloped along the mountain side.
Instantly a rock, standing up out
Of the Whiteness little way off, ap-
peared as If it had fallen in halves One
half moved at great speed and the
other stayed still; and one saw that
that which moved was an old gray
mountain fox, who had been crOuching
by the rock the whole time.
The hare did not need to look around
to see who was coming; he had eyes
which bulged so prominently that he
could see behind like a spider He
stretched himself and fled along the
flank Of that mountain like some
white phantom. But so did the fox

DR.. PARKHURST APPROVES OF DANCING
Replies Chicago Clergyman Article
By DIR. c H. PARKHURsT

- ONE time since there appeared in
this column an article written in
- approval Of the action taken by
certain church in Milwaukee to hold
dances under its auspices and to es-
tablish a free dancing school for the
young people Of the parish.
This move was made in view Of the
fact that, as was claimed. many hund-
reds Of Milwaukee girls are annually
led astray by frequenting the common
dance halls of the city; it being be-
Meved by the church people that as it
was certain that the young people
would dance somewhere the least that
could be done would be to give them
an opportunity to satisfy their desires
in a safe and wholesome environment.
The article arrested the attention Of
a good clerical brother Of Chicago,
who, with all courtesy. but with
ringing note OF disapprobauon' WORK
ed Ii into his discourse Of January %
The discourse was an eXcellent one
and makes good reading as does al
most everything that is written Dy q
man who tremendously believes what
DISCRIMINATION of Our Being.
The particular feature Of the artl-
Gle to which the clergyman took ex-
ception is expressed in the following
extract from his sermon:
Your attention is called TO the
ground Of justification, that II IS JUST
as natural for girls to dance as II Is
for lambs to play in the field ~
this is not true DR.. Parkhurst sho1ld
not have said fl, but, having said IL
what do IS it mean? The lamb Is an
animal md, so far as we know, an
animal. and il is natural and not only
natural but proper. that an animal
that Is all animal should play like an
animal If I were an advocate OF the
exclusive dance, L would resent the
INSULT At least I would beg the doc
tor 10 find other grounds on which TO
defend me as a christian dancing man.
The confession is that it is the animal
that daHcesi there is no man reason
for the dance.
our Methodist brother is certainly
accurate in his discrimination of our
being into the two elements OF spir-
ituaI and animal.
They are both Of divine origin, and
one is just as respectable in its way
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-03-12

as the other. The appetites Of the
body are not a thing 90 be ashamed Of
any more than the impulses OF the
SOUL a1o to treat the body with its in
srlnctive tendencies as though II were
poor and ignOminous relative is to
forget that when at the creation the
Lord proGounced upon the man His
eulogy o. -all very good" He includ-
ed the human creature IN its entire
makeup.
Distinctly Animal Is Eating.
So that TO look down contemptu-
ously upon the body in any Of its
parts amounts TO being ashamed that
we have body and is a tacit reproach
70 the Creator for the way in which
He put US together.
On the principle advanced by tho
chicago minister We should have to
stop eating as well as dancing.
II II is as natural for young girls
to dance as IL is for lambs to gam
Dol in the field, so IL is as natural
Tor young girls to eat as il is for
lambs TO crop the grass of the field;
and If IL is wicked for girls to dance
viii be wicked for young girls TO eat
because they eat as animals
Ihere IS nothing in the world that
is more distinctly animal than sit
ting down at the table and filling the
mouth with bread and butter or pork
and beans.
Or again, if it is wrong to dance
because ii is the legs and not the
soul that dances, then Il is wrong for
a boy TO play ball because it is the
arms and hands and not the soul that
does the pitching and catching.
We are not claiming that because it
Is natural to do a thing it is there
tore right TO do it We are only claim
ing tnat because ii is natural to do
a thing it does not therefore follow
thar IL Is wrong to do it.
Inc latter Of the two is the clergy
mans position. which is definitely re-
4uted BY our Illustration Of eating and
bah playing.
Body Admirable; It Is Animal.
Undoubtedly there is a class of eT-
lis easily incident TO dancing that
