-HERE Is a mistaken inclination
on the part of some citybred
i people to pity those who live
beyond the glare OF the arc
lights and the clang of the trolley
car. Because their residences are not
heated by city steam, because the
theater exists mostly for them through
the medium Of the monthly magazine,
because their evenings are spent at
home or literary society,"" instead OF
at the club or some other place of en-
tertainment, they are supposed to lead
dull and uninteresting life.
Pop" Dodge, who by choice has
deserted the city for the country, had
this to say about the matter when he
made one of his semioccasional visits
to New York last week:
I came from Boston originally,
and while in Boston I went to thea
ters more than any man there. But
when got married ana remoVed
to the farm found l owed 500
that 1 had borrowed to buy thea
ter tickets. So 1 quit. No, won't
go to the show with you,- and |
don't want a drink, and l don't
want a smoke and 1 don't care to
play cards. But don't think am
not having a good time on the farm,
for all that. l am having the most
enjoyable season of my life.
Possibly Dodge has gone too far in
his remuneration of city relaxations,
but his view is the other side of the
picture. There are thousands like
him; thousands who would rather be
,aa ;o,+ba ,,,orni,,o by tho Iop,ip o
of the cows than by the toot of the
factory whistle; who would rather
tinker round" indoors when the rain
patters on the shingles than face the
weather to go about their daily tasks
Monotony on the farm? In these
days of the automobile, the telephone
good roads, farmers institutes, parcel
post and the rural free delivery, mo-
notony on the farm exists only in the
Imagination Of city folks.
If the farmer desires it, he car
make his work the most varied and
| interesting in the world. He is the
! lord of his own little kingdom and he
orders his tasks to suit the weather
the seasons and his own inclinations
instead of coming down town six days
a week to take orders from the bos.
for the days work or repeating veal
in and year out the same one task thai
machinelike methods of manufacture
now impose upon the worker. Monot-
ony? If It forces itself upon any o.
us, 1t is the city man who suffers

What a political cataclysm would fol-
low in the camps of these two parties
should Senator Penrose suddenly con-
clude that he will not be a candidate;
what heart breaking. rending de-
struction of fond ambitions would
ensue.
There is, however. just one new
thought in the Mccormick platform
interference with legislative procedure.

TINS NATION SHOULD PROFIT
Bv WAR SAYS EXPIRES. TAFT

The United States should draw
from the European war lesson re-
garding its own conduct, said Ex-
President William II. Taft in an I'D
dress in Washington before the Am
erican Bar association. In discuss
ing the charges Of violation Of treat
les by European nations, Mr.. Taft
said that this country should put it.
self in such position that it could
fulfill to the letter the obligations
imposed by its treaties, and he rec
commended legislation TO that end.
In his address, delivered as presi-
dent Of the American Bar associa-
ton, Mr.. Taft also said that the
Progressive party was departing
from "the preposterous nostrum" of
the recall Of judicial decisions be-
cause it apparently had become a
burden to the party"
In speaking Of the European war,
Mr.. Taft said that President Wilson
should have the warmest approval
and sincerest cooperation in his ef-
forts to maintain the strict neutral
ity Of this country.
