West VIRGINIA Election.

The special congressional election
in the Wheeling district is being in
terpreted by the national administra.
ton as an endorsement and by its OPP
ponents as the opposite. Mr.. Nicely
goes to Washington with a majority of
$500 or more, compared to the slim
1863 gained by his predecessor in his
last fight, But the combined total Of
votes for his Republican and Progress
sive rivals was greater than his. indi-
eating, it is argued, defeat had they
acted together.
All such speculation, however, is
profltless in view of the significant
fact that the total vote for all candi-
dates land the Socialist polled nearly
as many as the Progressively was but
three-flfths of the presidential vote in
the district and about half the con.
gressional vote at the last election.
Assumption that the stay-at-home vo'
tiers were satisfied with the Demo
cratic policy must be as incapable OF
proof as that they were otherwise. A
more probable frame of mind would
be that in view of the overwhelming
one-sidedness at Washington the bulk
of the non-voters did lot consider it
worth while to record their prefer
ences, feeling it would be of little eff
feet one way or the other. This may
not be a commehdable attitude but it
is the most plausible explanation for
the apathy that keeps half the voters
of a district away from the polls.

REVIVE INTEREST
IN AGRICULTURE
Young Men are Beginning to
Think Twice Before Leav-
ing Farms for the City.
AZ r. b. RuCKHAMl

1t is especially pleasing with the
older advocates of agricultural pur-
suits to note the increased interest
which is being taken in these matters
on every hand. Long have they pre-
dicted it's coming. and now at length
it is here.
Formerly the young men of the
farms, generation after generation,
assumed that of course they must
leave the old homestead and plunge
into the turmoil of the great cities, II
they were to make anything of a sue
cess of life. Now they are thinking
twice before adopting this course,
especially as they see those of their
acquaintance who turned to agricul-
tuTe and to advanced training in this
science forging away ahead In life's
battle. The city offers many ad-
vantages. but he who supposes that it
possesses a monopoly of them all is
woefuily mistaken. And this Is the
fact which is at length beginning to
dawn upon the people Of today.
There have been those. who as
sumed that agricultural pursuits were
humble and mental, but men of the
broadcast culture and attainment are
seldom found to agree with them.
Since the earliest ages, the greatest
men have turned to pursuits of this
class for their pleasures and recrea-
tons.
Plutarch says OF Cato that although
he was possessed of great wealth and
rich raIment yet he much preferred
agricultural pursuits TO the forum.
and enjoyed nothing better than to
sit down to a dinner OF boiled turnipe
which he himself had gathered and
cooked with his own hands, while his
wife prepared the bread for theft
humble meal.
Washington and Jefferson, our
greatest presidents, were both of them
born farmers, and loved the life OF
the country better than any other.
Says the latter in one of his letters
"Cultivators of the earth are the most
valuable citizens. They are the most
vigorous, the most independent, the
most yirtuous. and they are tied to
their country. and welded TO its In
terests and liberty. by the most last.
ing bonds"
And now at length the government.
national and state. has taken up the
subject seriously, and undertaken to
insure to the young practical instruc.
ton in this all important industry, by
establishing and endowing schools for
that purpose Surely. the future OF
this science is rapidly Frightening!
And after all, there is no more i'm.
portant problem presented us TO be
met and solved than how to feed the
people of this rapidly developing
country of ours Scientific agricul-
ture must evolve the means; and it is
safe to predict that it most certainly

Democratic Leaders Admit Blum
ders in Tariff Bill.
Humiliatins Confession Of 6IunderIne
and Incompetence Is Revealed by
Statements Now Made as to
the Measure.

Tie tariff bill is but a few weeks
old. The business men whose affairs
are most directly affected by it have
not found time to determine its full
effects or % adjust their operations to
the conditions it creates. Yet already
the Democratic majority in congress
and President Wilson himself agree
that the bill must be amended at
once.
Not by adding anything to its pro
visions, not by strengthening any
loosely drawn clause, but in q very
important point by taking the back
ward track and undoing what was
Done deliberately and boastfully. The
confession is made that the clause
granting a rebate of per cent. of the
duties on imports in American vessels
win have to be repealed. No attempt,
in fact, is being made to enforce 1t
because the government officials are
SO sure that the work done by COLI

will have to be undone Immediately.

powers are deemed certain to take II
