they accept his resigna ton, for taste
Of f1oorwalking has spoiled him for the
pulpit.
Hicks advanced ideas Of theology in

without apolOgiZing he resigned. Many
Of his church members. however, sym
pathized with him. and the ballot was
taken as the best means of determining
his relative popularity.

Hicks Is deep student and until he

WRONG TO WATCH BASEBALL,
Harvard Expert Says Spectators Get
Too Wrouoht Un.


Too Wrought Up.
Cambridge. Mass. Beware. O We
baseball fans. foS. you are the product
Of radically wrong attitude toward
athletics. witnessing professional base.
ball contests tends to harmful ex.
cesses and immortality. Thus spoke
Harvard's world famous strength ex
pert. DR.. Dudley A. Sargent. recently
He said in part:
1.-THE excitement attending bali
games ~ they are played at present IL
harmful. Our baseball fans nowadays
are devotees Of game in exactly the
same sense as are those fascinated by
watching a roulette game or other
games Of chance
Attendance at these games means
that thousands Of men and bows and
even women become nnduly excited
over the athletic prowess Of profess
sional players They leave the ball
grounds with nerves tingiing and
spirits exalted II the game goes we'll.
and the question Is, What outlet do
those men and women find for their
emotions thus aroused? am tempted
to leave the subject with an interro-
CATION point.
There In nothing wrong with ball
game as such any more than there Ia
with theatrical performance as
such. but such games arouse emo
ton without furnishing motor outlet
This would not be the case If the
game were actually played instead Of
watched. We are OVERRIDING one phase
Of the so called love Of sport
There Is nothing in this hothouse
form of athleticiSm. and the less We
have Of It the better"

LET THE truth
s H|NE!
"a FARMER AND SOCIALIST EN-
DORSES THE ARTICLES IN THE
INDEPENDENT AND REPUDI-
ATEs HIS OWN PARTY PAPER.

Being constant reader Of The In
dependent and The Iconoclsst have
noticed that you have, Is q rule,
treated your Socialist neighbor with
silent contempt, which is, perhaps,
proper, ~ most Of the TRADES in that
sheet are, in the writer's opinion, un-
worthy of notice. But when the So
cialist paper stated in one Of its pa
pers few weeks ago that the INDIE
pendent has never printed one line of
good, sound advice to US farmers,
desire to nail the lie by asking for
space for few quotations from arti-
cles in your paper. Although . So
cialist have considered some of your
articles worth keeping, hence I can
quote from your paper word for
word. In your issue of March 18th,
1913, you say:
ut appears to the Independent that
general spring house cleaning
would be in order in the Equity camp;
that the actual farmers in these great
northwestern states should come To-
gether and resolve to go back to the
original principles Of the American
Society Of Equity and at the same
time drive the rascals out of their or
ganization. Then begin to work up
and build up again from the bottom
on the old foundation of truth and
righteousness.
The above is, in my opinion, good,
sound advice to US farmers and it al
SO proves that the Independent, in
stead of being an enemy of the Amer
lean Society Of Equity and wanting to
destroy It, - the Iconoclast has stat
ed several times, the Independent up
holds now, as before, the true prin-
1efples of that organization; it wants
it purified and strengthened. Any

"No, we will say to the producers,
never deviate from what is morally
right, but make those in the upper
stories adopt the same ethical stan
dard of morals as the rulers of centu-
ries have laid down to you. You are
in the majority and you can have
what you want. Where there is a
will there is way If you only
could unite and work in harmony and
not allow these modern Deliliahs to
sneak in and shear your locks, you
could own the world tomorrow"
To the foregoing every right
thinking farmer will say AMEN!
And he will feel grateful to the Inde-
pendent for having printed it, wheth-
er the Editor is a Socialist or not, be-
cause it is good, sound thought and
radical enough to be worthy Of space
in any Socialist paper, as far as that
is concerned 1t is worth thousand
of the Iconoclast articles which
abound with slang and cheap vulgar
ity.
The writer and all other directors
of our Farmers Elevator Co., also re-
ceived a copy of Comrade Foss'
Challenge" and we agreed that he
was being treated very STABILITY by
our Socialist paper. It showed that
said paper did not care for the truth
when it shut Comrade Foss out and
allowed Comrade LeSueur space for
nearly dozen columns for his arti-
cles about the grain business, which
articles, by the way, contained more
Misrepresentation of facts and more
falsehood to the square inch than
have seen in any Capitalist paper"
We have been in the grain business
here nearly seven years now and
ought to know more about it than to
swallow what Mr. LeSueur and the
1conoclast dish out. AS said before,
it appears that our paper and leader
are in this case only talking to the
galleries and with utter disregard
for the facts.
1t does not make much difference to
the writer personally, however, what
the Iconoclast and our former leader
says or writes, because a true-blue
Socialist, who is not "born today"
will stand by his colors and vote for
PRINCIPLE as long as he lives, even
it half our papers and leaders went
wrong and tried to carry our grand
cause down in the dust. But the pa
per will fail as missionary if it con-
tlnues to scare away those who are
on the fence and open for conviction.
These men reason like this: If one
article in the Socialist paper is not
true, all are false. And the enemy
will make the most of it and use it
against us every time our papers and
speakers resort to untrue statements;
whether they do it for personal rea-
sons to combat an enemy, or in the
hope that "the end will justify the
MEANS" it is undefencible for any agi-
tator to state what he knows is not
true. He will not only lower himself
in the public eye, but will, under the
natural laws, undermine his own self
respect. And above all, he will hurt
the cause he processes to champion.
Yours for the truth in all things,
Farmer

have come Ia proper appreciation
OF tn. necessity OF cattle conserva.

her of veal calves coming TO hand IN
Western markets indicates that all
the females and many male calves are
being saved by their owners and will
be allowed 10 mature into full-grown
animals. Prices paid for veal are
soaring. and there are those who pre-
dict that the rise in the value OF veal
calves will continue until the record
price of SIS per cwt Is reached.
The great western drouth Is begin
ming 10 have its effect on the cattle
receipts OF western markets; the
runs show larger arrivals OF thin cat
tie than the trade Is able TO handle,
and prices are easing of materially.
The corn situation is also having q
marked effect upon the volume OF cat
tie receipts. the country over. For
the present the bulls are In the sad
die In the corn pit but those most IA
miliar with the habits OF the trade
gamble In cereals, confidently predict
that much cheaper corn will be seen
on the present crop.
II Is expected that the early pas
sage OF the Underwood tariff measure
will modify the cattle situation along
some lines. IL is reported that lower
Canada has thousands OF bulls and
cheap cows which are being held by
their owners with the intention OF
dumping them on the American mar
ket as soon as the tariff bill goes
into effect.
