THE QUEST ETERNAL

(Writteu for THE FARMER by
 R. L. Johnson.) Plow and trust, the broadest furrow
 turning,
 While the blue jays pipe and thrill
 the air. Plant and hope. the greatest blessing
 learning,
 That the fields will grow abundant
 there. Be not dull, discouraged, nor com
 plaining, For the earth will give an ample
 yield: She will cheer. unfold, and be sustain
 ing, When the hand of summer decks the
 field. Drop the acorn when the rain is fan- On the hillsides of the teeming
 earth; And the oak will rise when seas are calling
 For the mighty ships of regal birth. Strike the iron when 'tis white and
 glowing,
 If you'd forge the mighty chain, :. Build the mill where streams are full
 and flowing.
 If you wishsthe wheel to grind your
 grain. Let your lamp be trimmed and burn the brighter.
 Like beacon on a stormy coast, When the night IS dark, and brows In the waves where strive an anx- ious host. Spread your sails before the breeze comes blowing From the lands of fame and clas- sic lore. And your bark will ride the waves, when flowing Bearing you to some suspicious shore. Be not aimless, like drifting feath- CT. With your heart oppressed by slav- ish fears: But be brave, no matter what the weather And uproot the wrong of darkened years Strike for Truth and Right while brooks are singing; And while Justice swings her heav- enly scales: Strike for home and hearth, where bells are ringing, And let Freedom reap her harvest wales. Climb the heights of power. with vir- tue steering, And there on the soaring peaks of fame. With troubled skies of glory clearing. Write. with noble deeds. and an honored name. Newark. N.

Proving The Recall.

I'll, often advanced ~ an argument
against tn" recall, that special Interests
wouid manipulate ii and politics
would determine the vote. rather than
the actual conduct Of the official un-
der considerations. liork Island has
lust given an illustration Of at least
the partial fal!acy OF this objection.
The saloon interests desired the re-
call nf The mayor and circulated peti-
tion~ for that purpose. But when
t,.esc i.>t;tions were presented 1t WAS
di~covcre.! tina, large portion OF the
signatures were i0rgrfles, and the
petition vas thrown out.
If tne .umber Of names is set high
nGou,., 80 tnat the recall cannot lie
invoked unless there is Il large body
of sentiment in favor ul il, and ii peti-
tiun- are scrutinizci and rejected IL
containing fraudulent signatures,
there is little opportunity for misuse
or abuse OF the system.
The recall is such necessary part
Of the new thought Of actual and
direct responsibility of officials, that
it is certain 10 make its way and be
adopted IN ii regular principle in local
government within q lew years. The
short ballot. the commission ayStem
in fall Or modified form, is certain to
become IL general use in municipal
government. and an important feature
of it will be the recall, through which
the short ballot Is made effective Tor
good government.
The concentration oi power into lev
hands requires for its safety direc!
responsibility through the recall.
There must be this concentration Ion
efficient city government. aud there
