Smyrna times., 1913-04-30
ROBERT D. HOFFECKER,
Editor and Publisher.

By vote Of 26 to %, exactly
the required Affirmative number, the
Pennsylvania State Senate, on Tues
day, concurred in the resolution. pre-
viOusly adopted by the House, pro-
viding for an amendment to the Con-
stitution that will permit the women
Of that State to vote. The contest
was exciting at the close, but
the women won fO= the time.
Commenting on this, the Wilmington
Every Evening says: "The road to
equal suffrage in Pennsylvania, how
ever, is still a hard and rocky one.
This victory merely results from the
preliminary skirmish. The resolu-
tiOn, before the change in the Con-
stitution can become effective, must
receive the approval Of the Legisla-
ture of 1915. The advocates Of
woman's suffrage. therefore. will
have to elect a majority to the next
Legislature in order to take the Sc
cond step. And even with victory in
the next Legislature, the final test
will still have to be met-approval
by a vote of the people at a State
election. II will be seen, therefore,
that the situation is very uncertain,
Equal suffrage is not yet out Of the
woods, "and in the end it may die in
the jungle. For Pennsylvania pOliti-
clans are notoriously tricky, and ii
may be their intention to merely en-
courage the advocates of the cause
with legislative favor. and then en-
deavor to deal them a death blow
when it comes to the final move, the
popular vote.
Smyrna times., 1913-04-30

President Wilson'S appearance in
person. to read his message from the |
Speakers desk and to consult with
members Of Congress on legislation and
appointments should not be regarded
as an isolated detail or a mark Of &C.
centricity. Our new President is not
trying to advertise himself, and GER
tainly he is not initiating British roy
atty. The appearance Of the King.
with his brief and simple address at
the opening of Parliament, is a sur
vival that has become meaningless
because the King takes no part either
in the process Of making laws or in
that Of administering them. But in
this country the President is in COM
plete authority over the business Of ex-
ecutive government, and he also bears
such relationship to the party in
power that under normal circum-
stances he is more influential than
anyone else in guiding and directing
legislative policies. Mr.. Wilson has
therefore. always argued that we
could accomplish better results, in
our practicl affairs Of government, if
the President and his cabinet could
be in closer relationship with the two
houses Of Congress. In the selection
Of his cabinet our new President had
in mind this very thing. He ap-
pointed men whom he believed to be
capable Of working with Con-
gress, and who could when called
upon present the affairs Of their re
speetive, departments either TO Con-
gressional committees or to either
chamber as a whole, with clear
thought and ineisive speech. We
must not be surprised, therefore, II

indebtedness has been reduced remark
ably and gives encouragement to go
ahead with Commerce Street and let

The $4,000 additional appropriation
for Federal Building seems now assur-
ed. Now let US be assured that the
Federal Building will be erected this
year. The needs of a new postofFice
is every day apparent and patrons are
becoming inpatient to see a modern
pOstOffiee go up on the Federal Build
ing site which was months ago provid-
ed.
Smyrna times., 1913-04-30

Council seems determined to collect
Unpaid light and water rents and
street improvement claims. And
we'll they should. To allow them the
service without pay is not fair to
those who meet their obligations
promptly. Besides this. members of
Council are representing the people
Of Smyrna and it is their duty to
bring all delinquents to time without
ear or favor.

Sec. Thomas Cooper
Secretary Of Better Farming Association Ably Discusses Bet
ter Farming Showing Relation Of Merchants
to His Cause

Thomas P. Cooper. secretary of the
North Dakota Better Farming asso-
%ciation' whose home is in this city,
always has something good to say
when he makes an address or furnishes
an article for the newspapers. At the
last meeting Of the state retail deal
ers he had an extended article in the
official programme, which was not
read much over the state. So excel
lent was it that The Forum decided
to reproduce it at this time and II is
as follows.
The retail merchant in an agricul-
tural state is directly dependent upon
the farm for his prosperity. He is as
vitality interested in the use of success
full cropping systems and of livestock
as is the farmer. His sales and the
class of goods disposed Of are fixed by
the ratio of income produced above
that necessary for existence.
1t is seldom that a single crop coun-
try will produce permanent and con-
tinuous prosperity among it's mer-
chants. The wears in which crops are
large and prices high will show good
profits and a large volume of business.
During the other years sales fall off to
a greater or lesser extent and are con-
fined to staples-goods in which the
profit is very small. Consequently it
is to the best interests of the merchant
to have a community practice a type
of agriculture which will bring a con
tinuous and assured income. This is
the type of farming that is most prof
liable to the farmer and to those de-
pendent upon his trade. :
Diversification Increases Income.
The income from the grain farm
while at time large is even in the new
est countries small when considered
for a period of years. And consider
ing the farm as a unit actually brings
in a smaller income than if livestock
is produced and a system of farming
adopted which will provide for con-
slant employment and use Of capital.
The farm in this regard is like any
otheT business, the sale of one product
or of two products will rarely bring a
satisfactory income. Business men
have long ago discovered that their
greatest success is gained through the
sale of many articles, in this way be-
ing able to obtain a constant trade.
Hence, we find a great retail grocery
establishment selling shrubbery, trees
and seeds during the spring months
and a manufacturer engaged in the
production of specialized machinery
taking up the manufacture Of nearly
all classes of machinery used on the
farm. In a similar way the farmer as
he increases the diversity Of products
for sale will increase the gross and
also the net income from the farm.
