BACK TO THE FARM

Is the Democratic regime to sound
the keynote for a back-to-the-farm
movement, by lowering the high pro-
tective tariff which has so long been
in force in this country that it has
aided to oyerbalance the population
of the larger cities?
The foregoing question is one which
may afford much food for thought to
the American people. One may read
lily ask, How is the Democratic adj
ministration to help the movement of
the people in the larger cities back to
the farm? The answer is ready: BY
giving a steadier balance to the ten
dency in America to-day toward cen
Trailing the energies of the American
people in the factories to the mani
fest injury of farm improvement
That is, in brief, the thing which
the people of America stand vitality IN
need of to-day There are too many
people already working in factories
There are too few upon the farm
Honest tariff revision, to which Dem
ocracy is pledged should do more
than anything else to bring about a
better balanced and more wholesome
condition in American labor
But how about the empty factory
chimney? asks the protectionist. That
is the slogan of the man who favors
the high protective tariff, that it helps
Infant industries" One may well
answer that it would be far better to
have few more empty factory chin
neys than to have any more empty
farms. The empty farm is now a far
greater menace that the empty fac
tory. The drift of population and the
consequent congestion in the larger
cities has gone much farther than is
for the good of those concerned
Too long already the tendency r
leave the farm and drift into the city
working long hours for low salaries
has been growing 1t is a tendency
that can do nothing but harm to the
American people if it continues. The
greatness of this nation, morally
physically and spiritually i'm the flu
ture is to be fostered and safeguarded
by the people who liv the saner and
better poised lives that are the priv
ileges and enjoyments of those who
live close to the soil and to its virgin
inspirations.

With Americas and Macol as their

merchants and trades bodies of the
towns mentioned was presented the
Central railway authorities, request
ing a morning train service to Smith
vile, returning thence at o'clock p

way company declined favorable ac-

Recently the matter has been ra-
v!yed, and with renewed interest A
public meeting was held Friday at
Shellman, and renewed effort will be
made to have the desired train service
established. Joe Hill Hall has been re-
tanned to represent the interests OF

EDUCATION AND VALUES.

A western university has gathered
an array OF figures and volume Of
information and arrived at the con-
clusion that the average value OF
college education is $4,000. II one
goes to college. therefore. and is just
average he will have $4,000 more in
his pockets some day than he would
have had II he had gone to work four
years sooner! All of which Is non
sense. The measuring OF the value OF
an education In terms of dollars and
cents is false mensuration. and the
last one which a university should lay
stress, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Such attempts as this give
the foreign critics OF our educational
ideals ground for their sneers at our
diploma factories" The old bour-
geois question. "Will a college educa-
ton enable my son to make the bust
ness pay better than my experience
has done?" is a natural one with
certain type of mind. but IL betrays
a total ignorance CT what education
means and what II seeks. Education
and technical training are two differ
ent things. though they can and should
both be acquired.

All plans for division of territory

Bell to absorb the independents in
those districts where 1t was stronger,
end the Independents to acquire the
Bell properties at Grand Rapids.

points where they largely control. In
this way, 1t is declared, service to the

NATIONAL RURAL BANKING
Syetem Proposed by Sen. Fischer AS
First Fruit of Investigation Of
European Methods.

The first fruit OF the recent Euro
pean investigation OF rural credits by
an American commission was noted
in the senate when Senator Fletcher,
OF Florida, introduced q comprehen-
sive bill to provide for the establish
ment, operation, management and con-
troll of National Rural Banking sys-
ter
Senator Fletcher. who was chair
man of the commission that made the
European investigation, addressed the
senate in explanation Of the bill. which
it is believed may have a material
bearing on the pending currency
legislation.
The Fletcher bill formulates a plan
for a complete system of rural banks
to be organized uader a federal char
ter especially designed to meet the
financial requirements of the farmer.
The bill divorces farm credits from
commercial and industrial credits. 1t
recognizes the need, first. of credit
arrangement whereby the farmer can
acquire lands and a home and suffi-
cient capital for the permanent i'm
provement OF his farm.

Leaves Estate Equal to Moroan's

Although the provisions of the will
of the late Anthony N. Brady, of New
York, have given no indication OF the
size OF his estate, unofficial estimates
ere published placing Mr.. Brady's
wealth on a par with that OF the late
j. p. Morgan.
A former financial adviser to Mr..
Brady is quoted as placing his estate
at $75,000,000 as a minimum estimate
and as adding that it might prove to
be in excess of S100,00o,000 A re-
cent report by a state transfer tax
attorney made a semiofIicial estimate
of Mr.. Morgan's estate at the same
aggregate figure, S100,000,000. Mr..
Morgan filled so much greater place
in the public eye, however, than Mr..
Brady or others of great wealth. that
the reports of the Brady fortune being
on a par with that of Mr.. Morgan
have <occasioned surprise even in
Wall, street, where he was best
known.

Boy Dies to Save Friends.

Hal Souter, aged 10, of Shelby,
Mich, sophomore at Albion college,
gave up his life in Little Traverse
bay in rescuing Miss Teresa Miller, of
Detroit, and Arthur Cook, aged %,
of Gobleville, Mich. Miss Miller went
far beyond her depth in the surf and
Cook went to her rescue answering
her cries for help. Unable to strug-
gle successfully against the high
waves, Cook went under and Souter
who had been some distance away,
swan to the scene. He held them
both above the water until William
Bailey, of Big Rapids, engineer in the
Harbor Point club house, swan out
and took them from his hands.
Souter was thought safe and all ef-
forts were concentrated TO resuscitate
Miss Miller and Cook. They were
revived after an hour of hard work
by Harbor Springs physicians and
1t was was then Souter's body was
found near the shore. He evidently
had been taken with q cramp and
drowned while attention was being
paid TO those whose lives he had

Two Battle Creek Buildings Fall.

Without warning the rear of the
Zelinsky building, a threestory brick
structure facing Main street and ex-
tending to State, in Battle Creek, fell
in, carrying the adjoining Schoder
block with ii.
How fatal accident was avoided
is little short of a miracle. Workmen
were extending cellar under the
block owned by ex-Mayor Zelinsky
and are believed TO have gone too
deep under party wall separating
the building from the Schoder block.
This wall gave way and the whole
State street frontage of the two build
ings followed. The workmen in the
cellar ran toward Main street when
they heard the wall crack, and thus
escaped death.
