millions of dollars to the income of
her people and draw to the Southern
sxates millions of immigrants from
Europe and new settlers from every
portion of the Union.
We say this is no vein Of thought
toward magnifying the Southern ma
tural resources, nor minimizing those
OF the East, the West or the North,
for it is our belief that the entire
naticn will continue to prosper
through a long period of time, yet
it is but just and proper to note the
advantages of the South in it's eli
mate, fertility of its soil, its fine wa
terwats, it's splendid harbors, it's
wealth contributed by nature, and to
consider what this combination
means to it's people and those OF the
Panama Canal is opened and the
commerce of the globe takes posses

endure for all time.
with it's cotton crop the South
possesses natural monopoly, and
will remain in possession of that for
decades. possibly centuries.
with its tobacco, corn. rice and
other agricultural productions and
its great acreage of fertile and still

largest demands of the world
With Southern timber and miner

state adjoining Oklahoma on the east,
SAYS the Daily Oklahoman. The Ar
kansas Traveller has been used as
Joyous subject. But let's look at
the record and see if Arkansas is not
THE state which is one that should
be admired, initiated and eulogize1.
In past years-in any one OF the
past years, during the trying days OF
midsummer, when many western
states were in despair, when drouth
stalked about, and men looked with
anxious eyes for sign of rain, Ar
kansas was crying for help and still
more help to harvest the bounteous
crops!
Did any one ever hear of crop fail
ures in Arkansas? or course not, for,
while the iokers were busy creating
new stories with Arkansas as the
butt that remarkable state was busy
shipping fruit to northern markets to
furnish the luxuries to communities
which had not been able to raise
them.
Again, while northern forests were
struggling in their tender years Of
rejuvenation, Arkansas was supply
ing northern builders with lumber to
build homes; yet Arkansas was not
robbing the forests, but was sensibly
cutting timber and raising more, to
always have a supply of building
materials to ship to communities less
fortunate.
Rich in minerals, Arkansas sends
carloads of the wealth from under
the ground, to those poverty stricken
mineral states that have exhausted
their monies and are forced to seek
the Arkansas section for supplies.
Who knows how many almshouses
there are in Arkansas? Here is al
institute that is scarce in. Arkansas,
for Arkansas people are not extreme
ly rich, and, therefore the, state has
few poor people. Ever notice that
tremendous riches have awful pover-
ty travelling in the wake?
And. the Arkansas people are con-
tented. They; know, full well, aaaS
they have a resourceful state. They
know that they have advantages
which far surpass those of many
other states.

Secretary of Agriculture.

The following preamble was adopted
by the Pennsylvania state grange and
Worthy Master Greasy was directed to
appoint committee to carry the mat
ter before President Elect WILSON,:
Whereas, The administration Of the ma
tional department of agriculture should be
in perfect harmony with the farm and
with the farmer lin the memory of the
present generation at least the admins
tration OF this important branch Of gov
eminent we regret to say. has been more
responsive 10 the demands of capital and
big business interests than to the demands
of the farming class) we sincerely hope
for reform along his line In the new
national administration.
We believe that the secretary of agri-
culture should be a practical farmer, one
who knows by real experience the de-
mands of farm life and whose sympathies
with the farmer are unquestioned and
whose ability as an executive has been
proved. In our judgment the scientific
end Of the department should devolve
upon a deputy secretary, preferably one
OF the able men connected with our vari-
Gus state agricultural colleges.

Is surprising how little one can

lifetime, even about the thing
that most nearly concerns US,
Individually. The fact that men
differ In temperament, physical
and mental, implies a corre-
spending difference In food re-
quIrement, as indeed Il does In
drugs, but such differences are
only as tho exception that prove
the rule. There are certain gen.
eraI principles that hold good
Of all, anc the man who does
not learn these from his ows

mentors who arc devoting their
lives to tin some cases lit

In tho more honorable class.
