WITH THE THINKERS

/. n. McCollister.-Letu us take upon
ourselves renewed obligations and put
forth greater efforts than ever before
to make this one of the best years in
our history; not so much by raising
large crops, but by inaugurating a
system of marketing our products so
as to get legitimate profit for our
labors. This cen only be done through
organization. Let us get together and
resolutely work together.
r. A. Wilkinson.-A profitable mar
ket for farmers is needed more by
formers than advice about crop aising.
Business men, railroad men, bankers
and commission men are engaged pro-
fessionally in uplifting the farmer
without consulting the farmers wish
es. attended big meeting last
week and heard dozen men advise
us how to grow better and bigger
crops, but not man had word to
say about how we may get fair
profit out of what we raise.
Clarence S. Darrow.-Eugenic laws
would do more harm than good and
juvenile institutions are breeders Of
criminals. You may develop potatoes
and cattle by eugenics, but whenever
you get above the brute you must
have freedom and choice. Political
philosophers are now trying to regu-
late birth. Permission to have off
spring would depend on the amount
of political pull one has. Nature
does more than the eugenic professors
can ever do. She is ever busy build
ing up the strong and tearing down
the weak.
W. w. Atkinson.-The farmers vim
shows in getting at the spring work

day on and two days off point to fail.
ure in the near future. Vim shows
also in the pride man puts into his
work. Some men show by their very
feces that they love their work and

are the ones who come out at the

There Is nothing tougher in the
world than public sentiment" declared
Rev. 7. Ross Paden. pastor OF the
First Presbyterian church. in his
sermon last evening on Peter and
John Before the City Council The
pastor spoke of the rising tide OF
sentiment on the part of the people
for the Savior OF mankind after His
death and told how the council
was afraid to take drastic measures
against Peter and John in the face
Of that sentiment.
Public Sentiment a Power.
Even In those days. he said, public
| sentiment was a mighty power, but
much more OF a power now. Public
sentiment had compelled the restora-
ton of the superintendent of schools
of Chicago to her position by the
school board of that city. Public
sentiment, he declared. was now de-
handing the enforcement OF the law.
This was plainly shown in the de-
mand for the enforcement of the sa-
loon laws. No council could
Withstand that sentiment There was
but one way in which the saloons
coHid get a new lease of life, and
that was by forming an organiza.
ton of their own for the enforcement
OF the law.
Tide Of Public Sentiment.
The tide OF public sentiment for
the enforcement OF the law, he said,
was too strong for the saloons TO re-
sist. The pastor also spoke of the
growing public sentiment In favor of
publicity of the affairs of public serv-
ice corporations. The public would
no longer tolerate blind bargaining
and would not stand for a gum-shoe
proposition. II there was not clear
publicity the public would be and had
a right to be suspicious.
