The Farmer, Too.

From many sides come signs of a
fundamentally changing point Of view.
These words were printed as an ad-
dress of e. b. Kegley, master of the
Washington State Grange, in the
Western Farmer" of Spokane. Wash.
Make no mistake-we are face to face
with the entire removal of the protective
tariff from farm products. In my judG-
ment. there is no escape from this con-
cluson, and the thing for us to do is to
meet the issue fairly and squarely..
AS system. protection is doomed. III
we, farmers, stand for ii, we shall lose
our share. and the public believing that
IL has secured relief from the burden of
living cost, will stop there. causing
whatever of loss occurs TO fall upon the
farmer. Consequently the business-like
course open is for the farmer to fight,
not to continue the system, but to smash
1t, Fight not to hold his own question
able benefits of tariff on grain and live
stock and wool. but to strip the coat of
privilege off from the back of every bust
ness engaged in supplying the neees-
saries of life. The time to cure the
whole diseased system has come and the
proper medicine is the axe. -. Let us
stand steadfast to this and appeal to
farmers everywhere to join with us and
wipe every tariff privilege off the statute
books now and forever.
If this is correct, a good many sena-
tors have been wasting time at Wash
ington in their defense of protection
for the embattled Manufacturers
Correct? Why of course it Is cor
rect-correct in the same way that the
great mass of booze" advertising is
correct, correct matter put out by
the booze trust. But who gave this
granger the right to assume the
pre- mise on which he founded his
"lGgic?" What authority has he for
| saying that protection is dead" any
more than has the Lewiston journal
| for holding wake twice every month
| over the illustrious remains of The
| Republican party?

The People Like Enforcement.

A Journal representative called at
the sheriff's office of the Auburn
(Androscoggin) Jail, Monday. Sheriff
Stevens was out but the officer on duty
was asked how the Republican regime
of strict enforcement compared with
the notification of Democratic times In
the number of prisoners held therein.
lie was informed that the average in
the workshop during the notification
of the law 1911-12 averaged around 100.
Since the present administration came
in last spring it has been around 49,
and had been down as low as u.
So far as the officer heard outside
talk, the people in Lewiston and Au-
burn were we'll satisfied to have the
liquor laws enforced. The "holler'
against enforcement was chiefly polit-
ical or made by those who desired t.
sell intoxicants.

d gymnasium for their school in the
same business-like way they have
learned TO do other things fer them

work is under the direct supervision of
the regular school authorities.
Fer the past six years higli-sehool
students from the Misunderstanding de

the various city school buildings,
During one summer $4,000 was thus
repaired roofs, laid cement floors, built
brick walls, and installed plumbing
fixtures. The gymnasium to be erected
by the boys is from plans drawn by
seniors in the high school
Particularly successful has been the
cooperative farm enterprise. Supt.
Scribner induced the board of educa
ton to rent a patch of ground on the
edge of the city, and at the same time
procured $500 for development expenses.
Sixty-four boys responded to call for
volunteers to form an association.
They were Immediately organized into
three working squads, each with its
own boss The boys made their own
rules, and they carry them out. Strict
discipline is enforced, and drones arel
