THE MAN WITH THE HOE.

The visable symbol of this myth is
the Man with the Hoe"-the solid,
hopeless son of physical toll a toll
unrelieved by the cheer of intelligence
blind unthinking toil-the toll of
the OK in the treadmill-the horse at
the cart.
For more than thirty centuries the
Man with the Hoe" toiled under the
black shadow of the Adamic curse.
With sullen patience he wrought with
gnarled hands hiatt others might live
at ease. Day after day, season after
season, be bowed beneath the yoke
that he believed to be God-imposed.
Generation after generation he fol
lowed the footsteps of his fathers.
Under these conditions there could
be and there was no progress. 1t is
not strange, then, that the Man with
the Hoe" was the very last of the hui
man claves to break the shackles of
the Adamic curse, assert his manhood
and proclaim his kinship with the
soil.
Today the Man with the Hoe" is
all but extinct. There are regions
where the Course" still rests and
where he may be found as painted by
Millet and described by Markham, but
as a type he lives only in art and
literature. Peace to mis- memory.
So inadequate is ordinary language
that the greatest truths are expressed
by symbols. AS the Man with the
Hoe" stands as the symbol of the
agricultural serf-the human slave
bound to the soil-so the Man with
the Harrow" is the symbol Of the new
agricultural awakening. He repre-
sents the intelligent application of
scientific principles to the tillage of
the soil. He is the symbol of the in
ventive genius of the last century
applied to the business of farming.
Inc "ah Will Ihc I1oc ucifcu lIhc
a mole in the dark-the man with the
harrow works in the broad light of
day. The one worked by faith, hop
ing; the other works by knowledge,
knowing.
Should you wish to clothe this SYM
Dol of the awakened genius of the
soil--this MAN with the Harrow"
with a personality, a habitation and
a name, the universal finger would
point to one mantle man who gave
the world the first concrete system
Of soil tillage, based upon accurately
defined principles. Not that this man
originated or even discovered these
principles-they have been known in
a fragmentary way for centuries-the
Man with the Hoe" doubtless heard
of them while breaking the clods of
the accursed soil. Be that as it may,
It was left by fate or chance Or luck
to this man to g the relation of
these principles to soil conditions and
to assemble them, note their signi-
icance. and then give to the world
an intelligent explanation of this prac-
tical application to the actual soil and
the growing crops.
Incidents trivial in themselves, Of
ten determine the trend of great
events. We are told that the squawk-
ing OF a flock Of geese saved Rome.

WHERE WILL IT END?

The worst thing about the Sher-
wood pension bill, which the demo-
cratic majority in the house of repre-
~sentatives rushed through two weeks
ago, is that is creates a liability which
may eventually run into the billions.
1t sets up a new standard of pension
ability-not for wounds or physical
disability, not for dependency or in
digency, but solely for service. A
man may have suffered not the slight
est physical inconvenience from his
enlistment and may have an ample
income, yet he will be pensionahle
under the Sherwood bill just because
his name is On the list of civil or
Mexican war veterans.
By this bill the basic principle of a
pension system is departed from
that Of compensating injuries or re-
lieving want or dependency-and the
improper test Of mere service, with
or without injurious consequences, is
get up in its stead. If such a stand
ard of pension ability is established,
without even a qualification as re-
CARDS age, it will inevitably be taken
advantage of in the near future by
those who are now organizing to Sc
cure larger pensions for the partici-
pants of the Spanish war. There were
enlisted in that war $685. men, the
great majority of whom saw only a
brief service in a training camp in
this country. On June 80 last 49,
383 of these were already on the
pension roll and the government vas
also paying pensions to 5,107 widows,
fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and
children of Spanish war veterans. If
the present theories Of pensionability
are adhered to the list of Spanish
war pensioners will increase slowly.
But If the new standard of service
alone Is recognized there will be 800,
600 pensioners of this class added
to the roll within a few years, with a
fair prospect of most of them staying
there for the next twenty-five OF
thirty years. On the new basis the
government may be called upon to
pay 5 l 1000, 100000 as additional com
pensation for the trifing military ser
vice of the Spanish war volunteers
Moreover, il the idea spreads thai
pensions ought to be allowed chiefly
in order to keep money in circulation
among a deserving class, why should
not a future democratic house of rep
resentatiyes vote to pension all the
remaining confederate survivors OF
the civil war? Many southern con
gressmen are To- receiving petitions
urging that course, and from theil
point of view it would only be justic&
to divert a share of the enlarged pen
sion fund circulation to the south

Woodrow Wilson's Choice a
Prophecy

Years ago Woodrow Wilson dedicated his life to
public service. He entered upon study of govern
ment. He made himself master of government,
not in theoretical but practical sense. He
studied other governments we'll as our own.
Then he espoused the Peoples Cause not from
the side which cried the loudest that it was the
Peoples Party but from the side which his know
ledge told him represented the true principles Of
Popular Government.
He became Democrat. Years afterward, he
became great Democratic Governor. He admin
istered his Office in true Democratic fashion, elicit
ing the praise of the whole state of New Jersey.
In eighteen months after he became governor,
so powerful was the national effect of his achieve
usnts a Progressive Governor that the Demo-
cratic party made him their Progressive Candidate
