A CONTRAST IN FARMING con-
DITIONS.

The farmers OF Illinois who have
had a long, cold winter and late
spring think that they have had their
share OF trouble, but if they had to
contend with the troubles OF the peo-
pie Of the southern part Of the coun-
try they might thank their stars that
they are no worse of than they arc.
In the section Of the country known
as Point Coupee In southern Louisiana,
which depends principally upon cotton
and cane raising, they we're first given
a solar plexus by the destructive work
OF the boil weevil last year. which de-
stroyed the cotton crop. The people
then took TO planting cane. This was
destroyed by an early freeze. Since
then the high waters and floods have
spread over the entire plantations
bringing the carcasses Of hundreds of
animals that have floated in on the
lands and are now In a decaying and
dangerous condition.
Besides this. many OF the people
have little money, few friends and are
a great deal worse OF than Illinois
farmers who have a prospect Of an
excellent yield OF corn which the soil
OF Illinois always gives 70 its indus
trtous husbandmen.

Rock Island, May 14-Editor The

who owns home Of his own, takes a
pride in thus improving his grounds.
But you can't have flower beds and
stray dogs in the same neighborhood.
They don't agree. II isn't good for
the dogs 10 keep them tied in a kennel

of these belong to city life. There
isn't enough room for them.
A loose dog in a city invariably is
a source of annoyance and an inevitable
nuisance, and ones of US who endeavor
to keep a tidy lawn know that it is
not pleasant to be a scayenger for
somebody's loose dog all the time.
Now would you kindly print this

CAPITAL COMMENT

mission, and as that commission, by
a long series Of rulings, had pretty
thoroughly demonstrated that it had
fully as much respect for the rights of
the people as it had for those of the
railroads, there was an unanimous pro-
test from shippers all over the coun-
try when the commerce court started
on its work of multiplying decisions
In the space of little more than one
year the commerce court reversed so
many decisions of the commission that
the latter body, as far as its useful
ness in serving the people was con-
cerned, might just as we'll have been
abolished.
UNPOPULAR FROM FIRST.
Few Institutions in this country
have met with more popular disap-
proval than the commerce court. For
months past the Individual members
or congress have been flooded with ap-
peals from shippers to curtail the DOW
ers of the commerce court, and it was
the volume of these appeals, and the
uniformity of their complaint which
! largely was instrumental in bringing
the democratic members of congress
to the conclusion that the commerce
court, far from being useful, was a
positive detriment to the shipping in,
terests of the nation.
On top of all other accusations
against the court came the specific
charge that Judge Achbald, one of the
/ members of the court, had used his
Official position as member of the court
TO make money out of business trans
action with a railroad. Judge Arch
bald IS now being tried on this charge
The adjustment of the commerce
court is another sample of that kinG
OF legislation which the standpatters
delight to call HAP hazard" but
which is sure to meet the approva
OF the thousands of shippers in tbi,
country, and of the millions of con
sumers who stand back of them.

DIRT ROADS AND RAILROADS.

No farmer was ever elected TO the
state legislature, declares the COM
mittee Of agriculture Of the Illinois
Bankers association, in a recent
bulletin, who did not feel himself thor
oughly competent TO "wrassle" with
such trifing questions as those in
volved in the immediate reduction Of
the rates on every railroad in the state.
And he feels perfectly free to do it
regardless of the fact that he has
no proprietary interest in the railroad.
1t Is true that the farmer does own
a road, doing both a freight and pas
senger business. Generally speaking
IL is the poorest road that lies out of
doors. II is the poorest built road.
generally speaking, that ever hap
pened. The road the farmer owns
runs right by his own farm. The
freight rates on IL are so high as to
be an outrage. If the railroads were
as poorly built, kept in as poor re-
pair, and charged such preposterous
rates, there would be revolution in
this country. And we could have no
more farmers Institutes until the farm
ers came back from the war.
This road that the farmer owns is
the common, or garden variety, of
dirt road. found everywhere in Ameri
