Are the Villages DecaxingP

To readers who have thought the
rural village was experiencing
quickening Of its long sluggish life it
is something of shock to find in the
Farm Journal an article describing
its death" 1t is the farming COM
munity, however. and not the village
as the term Is understood to which
the writer refers. His conclusion is
correct that in many localities the sys-
tenn of rural mail delivery, with its
adjustment of hundreds of small
postoffices, has diminished the i'm
portance of crossroads and corners
and in some cases taken them quite
out of existence as centers of COM
munity life, and it is true that farm
ers have a grievance who are required
to discard the name their little settle
ment has always borne and to repre-
sent themselves as belonging in some
village or city where they have never
lived and where they have no desire
to live. But the rural villages are also
suffering. The trend is to the larger
towns and cities though the back to
the farm movement may save the
villages.
Perhaps the change is the result of
the great changes in rural life In
| olden days when the donation party,
the spelling school, the quilting party,
the straw rides, the debating society
and the husking bee were popular,
young and old found wholesome
amusement. With the passing of these
features Of village life nothing has
come as substitutes.
Uncle Dick Oglesby, whom Illinois
| ians OF other days very rightly de-
lighted to honor, used to say that he
would rather address an audience OF
/ farmers at a crossroads than a great
audience in a city. He was sure of
patient attention and that his argu.
ments would be discussed for days
after he had gone.
II the villages are to go into decay
like sweet Auburn, of old, it will be a
distinct loss to the nation. An effort
should be made to revive olden in
terest in village life. Each commun.
| ity should form an improvement So
ciety. debating clubs should be organ.
lied, lecture courses and circulation
Libraries provided.
In a word a well directed move
ment should be started TO keep the
villages from passing away.

For days a determined effort had
been made by the Chicago Tribune
and others Of political influence to
have that body endorse him. The
gathering was held IN the midst OF
the present hysteria. Over 1000 dele
gates voted on the proposition to en-,
dorse the Roosevelt candidacy, the
endorsement resolution receiving only
1913 votes to s64 against.
1t is plain that the people do not
intend to force the presidency upon

To Fight Cannon for Reelection.

To Fight Cannon for Reelection.
Interest throughout the state will
center TO q more or less degree In
the congressional election in the Eigh.
teenth district where Hon. Frank T..
O'Hair of Paris is likely to be the
democratic candidate against former
Speaker Joseph Cannon.
It means that Uncle Joe will have
the hardest fight on his hands that he
has experienced since 1892 when
Colonel s. T. Busey of Champaign
county (then in this district) defeated
him. Mr.. O'Hair is regarded as the
strongest man in the district to lead
the democrats next fall, as his candi-
dacy will unite all factions and Sc
cure the solid support of the democ-
racy, besides attracting the votes Of
thousands Of insurgents, or progress
sive republicans, who are eager TO
help unseat the ex-speaker. Many OF
them have given assurance Of their
support IL a strong democrat could be
secured to oppose Cannon, and in Mr.
O'Hair they have a Moses who will
lead them out of the standpat wilder
/ ness.
Frank T. O'Hair is AZ years old. He
was born in a log cabin on the banks
of Big creek in the southern part Of
Edgar county, where his parents set
tied upon moving north from Ken
lucky. He attained his education anC
present splendid standing as a either
and attorney mainly by his own exer
tons and force of character. He is 4
graduate of De PAW university, and
one of the large law schools, and after
securing his sheepskin, returned Il
his county seat town and began the
practice of law, where he has re
manned ever since. His legal abilit!
and pleasing personality have mad,
him one of the big men of his portion
of the state, both professionally ant
politically.
He is a fine appearing, big-boned
big-brained and big-hearted mai
whose modest demeanor and democra
tic habits conceal a world Of will
power and ability, while they attrac
and hold the friendship of all VIII,

The resolution introduced in the
house and temporarily sidetracked,
condemning more than two terms for
the president, is likely to pass even
tually. 1t will be supported, probably
by all the democrats and quite a num-
Der of republicans. Those republicans
who are suspected OF being ready to
support either Taft or Roosevelt, as
the strength in their party develops
in favor OF one or the other. will in
directly have TO show their hands.
The republicans who are in favor of
the denomination of Roosevelt will, OF
course, vote against It and their vote
may be construed az in favor of the
Oyster Bay man. OF course, some of
the republicans who are in favor OF
Taft may not feel disposed to support
the resolution, but IL is thought that
the resolution will have the effect to
smoke out" the men who are unde
cided whether they will support
Roosevelt or not.

The Deadly Submarine.

There Is something horrifying and
uncanny in the loss of life in the sink
ing of a submarine vessel, such as oc-
CURED at Portsmouth, England. the
other day. The idea of men being
canned up in an alright vessel and
sent to the bottom TO be drowned like
rats can not fail TO fill the mind with
a shrinking terror.
The submarine vessels may be a
good thing in war and may cause a
deal OF destruction to the enemy. but
so far they remind one somewhat of
an idea expressed by a man when he
spoke about carrying concealed weap-
ons. He said he never carried weap-
ons. He did not believe in revolvers
because they had killed more people
than they had ever saved.

patton and recreation. and no doubt
they are truly grateful. The Boy
Scouts constitute a British institution,

HuYnor and
Philosophy
THE OUTWARD SHOW.

WE cannot but be blurred by dress.
Deny 1t as we may.
We size men up by what we see
And not by what they say.
Though wisdom drops in verbal pearls
From OF a beggar's chin,
We pass it fer the jest of tops
Who sport q diamond pin.
The man whose coat and vest are cut
On George the Second style
Can get the ear of very few,
And those who listen smile.
Take his advice on anything
Or for his counsel bid?
oh, no; he might have known the tricks
When Adam was q kid
But how you cotton to the man
Who wears the latest out!
His robes proclaim he knows, indeed,
Just what he is about
You listen to the honeyed gush
OF this well tailored gent
And on his word buy mining stock
That never pays a cent.
You know that wisdom does not come
Through haberdasher's art,
And still in spite of that you fall
For one whose clothes are smart
The bluff will catch the best of US.
The outward form we scan,
And to the wise, all knowing world
The clothes proclaim the man.

Comment From CAPITAL

children mill workers, and the pro-
posed reduction of % cents a week,
which Is responsible for the strike,
are the following facts as to the enor-
nous profits of the wooden mills.
The amount paid out in dividends
by the American Wooden company in
1902 was $1,4O0,0O0. In 1911 it was
S2,SOO,O00. The capital in 1902 was
$49, sol, 100, and 1911 was $60,00O,0 00
The capital increased per cent, Divi-
dends increased 100 per cent.
Those who complain of higher prices
of shoddy, of cotton where there
should be wool to protect the human
body from winter chill, should know
all about Lawrence, because Lawrence
is positive proof of the big double
pointed political lie of the year of
our Lord, 1912.
THE WHOLE ARGUMENT.
The whole argument on which tariff
protection is based is this: "You give
us protection against foreign labor
and We will be able to pay American
wages to American workingmen." The
strike at Lawrence, together with the
report of the commissioner of cor
porations on the wage situation in the
steel industry, which shows that men
work under almost incredible condi.
tons, reveals beyond the peradventure
of doubt that the whole fabric of the
tariff protectionists is woven of the
most sordid of lies, and almost unbe
lievable greed.
Protection for the purpose of Great
ing monopolies for American manu-
facturers has proven unwise The PEG
pie are permitting themselves to be
taxed for nothing. But will they see
it?
