they purchase large quantities from
farmers who live far away from any
market. Many of them are glad to
sell to the spectators because they
cannot reach the ultimate consumer
easily. In that fact alone is found a
suggestion for the prevention of
price boosting. Let the people
build better roads so that the pro-
ducers may be able to reach markets
easily and cheaply with the products
of their farms. The more accessible
the market the lower should be the

for the farmers produce, conse-
quently the farmer goes where a
market is available and where he
can sell to best advantage. Just as

THE WRONG PARTY.

The independent, giving an al
legged editorial extract from the Pike
County Press, assailing the federal
judiciary, declares the Press to be
the only Republican paper published
in Pike county.
Again the Independent is either
ignorant or mistaken. The Press is
not Republican paper. 1t and it's
genial and accomplished editor, Mr..
Van Etten, are staunch adherents of
the Bull Moose. No Republican pa
per, and we venture to say no DEM
ocratic paper, has gone to the length
of declaring that the federal judges
are owned by wealthy litigants and
decide cases to please them regard
less of the law, or that "the many
corrupt judges s"constituting our fed
eral judiciary enable the malefactors
of great wealth to prey upon the
public at their will" Every one
who knows anything about our
courts knows that this is gross
misstatement of fact which could not
emanate from a Republican journal.
1t is a strange and pathetic result of
the prevailing political delusion in
this state that otherwise sensible
men and able journals have had
their vision so distorted by gazing
on and chasing the Bull Moose will

distinctly understood that such sen,

At a recent meeting of state edu-

was speaking of the part the associa-

it ought to have a comprehensive

INTERPRETING MIR. WILSON.

1t is interesting to see some of
Governor Wilson's earnest support

were quiescent or acquiescent. They

other anti-Dhmocratic newspapers

was a curse to every man, woman

that there were as many Democrats

CONFERENCE ON RURAL NEEDS.

AS outlined by William T. Greasy,
master of the State Grange, the con-
ference to be held in Harrisburg on
the goth of this month for the pur-
pose of discussing rural needs will
be complete and we'll balanced.
1t will be similar to a previous
meeting in Harrisburg which gave
rise to the Changers cooperative
association, but it's scope will be
even wider. Farmers, 'back to the
land" agitators, bankers, railroad Of
ficers, teachers, educators and con-
servationists will gather to consider
every possible phase of country life
in its relation to the welfare of So
ciety at large.
There is significance and hope in
the fact that within the last few
years the city man has become al
most more desirous of advancing ag-
ricultural interests throughout the
United States than is the farmer
himself.
This means a truer perception OF
the Importance and innate nobility OF
agriculture. An early Roman ira
dition, attributed to Romulus, found
er of the Eternal City, declared that
warfare and agriculture were the
only honorable occupations for a
citizen, and historians attribute the
rise and fall of the empire to the
excellence and subsequent decay oi
agricultural spirit and methods as
much as to any other causes.
America is just emerging from a
period of industrial development
during which it has paid too little at
tention to farming and too little
honor to the farmer.
The signs of the times are so mum
erous as to permit of no doubt thai
the public generally has perceived
the error of this attitude and thai
our best efforts as a people are be
ing centered on the improvement
and advancement of rural condi
tions.
