POLITICAL HYPOCRISY.
From the Nashville Banner.

The dust had hardly settled on the grave
of Col Quarles, late StBte Archivist, before
Governor Hooper had rushed an offer OF
the vacancy to Mrs. E. W. Carmack, which
recalls the floral tribute sent to the grave
of Sam Davis. Heavens, have Tennesseeans
really lost their gorge that it doesn't rise
over so blatant an exhibition OF political
hyprocrisy?-C Chattanooga Times.
Mr.. Quarles died Thursday morning
about 9 o'clock. He was buried Fri
day morning at 10 O'Clock,
In the meantime large number of
applications for the office had been re-
ceived by the governor. The governor,
however, as the Banner has been in
formed, did nothing until late Friday
night, when he, through Judge Holding
of Columbia, rendered the office to
Mrs. Carmack.
When Governor Hooper placed a
floral tribute on the grave of Sam Davis
it was to signify his approval of the
loyal and courageous act Of that young
Tennessean, who, rather than betray
friend or a cause sacrificed his own
life.
When Governor Hooper rendered
the office of state archivist to Mrs. E. W.
Carmack it was in appreciation of Mrs.
Carmack's true worth and capacity for
that office, his only regret being that
he had nothing better to offer,
This last act on Governor Hoopers
part serves to indicate to a marked de-
gree the difference between man OF
noble instinct and the pretendeIs who
claimed to be friends of Mrs. Carmack
and promised to secure for her the
Columbia postoffice, but when the time
came for the appointment schemed to
keep her from getting it.
There is a story in connection with
this latter transaction which if told
would paint in lurid colors the conduct
of men who in the past have been pre-
tending to shed tears over the grave of
Edward w. Carmack and yet, after
they had promised and were able to
render substantial service to his estim-
able widow and only boy, struck her
down.
1t is not the wish of the Banner to
tell the story of the betrayal just now,
but it is sure to come in time.

WHEN FARMS PRODUCE MORE

1t is a fact, as shown both in this
country and in Europe, that no sec
tion has ever maintained its wealth
in agricultural products for any con-
siderable length of time without ami
NAL husbandry as the main industry
or to supplement general farming
True, when a section of the country
is first brought into cultivation the
soil, being virgin and very fertile
may produce in abundance and it
would appear that fertility is mex
haustible. But experience teaches
that when they are sold and removed
from the farm, soon reduce the humus
and fertility constituents so that the
lnad no longer produces profitably.
Animal husbandry is necessary for
permanent fertility. 1t is essential to
general farming in that it reduces
waste, obviates the necessity of mar
keting such bulky products as hay,
fodder, grain, etc. 1t distribute labor
in many instances providing work for
them en- and teams when crops do not
demand attention.
The problem of feeding the people
is the greatest with which we are
confronted. We have advanced so
fast in city population and industries
nth fnt ho+
tion has not kept pace. Without an
abundance of food no people can make
great progress, nor can they remain
in peace and contentment. Our farp S
are now required to supply with meat
as well as bread. Ranches have been
converted into farms in many sections
The sudden transition from ranchine
has diminished the supply of livestock
faster than the samll farms can meet
the deficit. This means that if our
section of the country is to maintain
its standing plans must be provided
for raising more animals on small
farms.
Land owners must assist their ten
ants to raise animals. This can be
done by helping the tenants secure
breeding stock, providing pastures.
buildings, etc, erecting cross-fences
so diversified crops may be grown.
This will make it possible for the fer
tility of the farm to be maintained
and relieve both land owner and ten
ant from dependence upon cotton as
a money crop.
Before this can be accomplished
more feed crops must be produced.
The proportion of cotton to grain,
hay and pasture crop must be reduced,
More feed stored and more animals
fed. This will mean greater invest
ment, as livestock represent consider
able capital; barns, creameries, dai-
rieS, silos, etc, must be built. This
will require cooperation on the part
of the banks and other business men,
but it is cooperation that will build
the Southwest. Capital wisely invest
ed in livestock, silos and other farv
building means more wealth not only
for the producer, but for the country
1t means larger crops, better profits,
longer schools, good roads and pro
gressive agriculture in all that it sig
nifes.-Farm and Ranch.

Pythians IN Bangor.

1t is estimated that more than 1000
visiting Knights of Pythias were in Ban
gor, June 18th, for a celebration arrang.
ed by Conduskeag Lodge, K. OF F., of
Bangor. The feature of the day was the
appearance of the degree team of Peter
Woodland Lodge of Lynn, which came
on special train. This team had the
right Of line in the parade, which started
at noon with many lodges and uniform
ranks and more than so automobiles.
The line of march ended at the Bangor
Auditorium, where public exercises were
held. Mayor Gutterbeck gave an ad-
dress of welcome. Hon. E. c. Plummerr
of Bath spoke on the Pythian order and
an exhibition drill followed. At 6 o'clock
a salmon dinner was served the officers of
the uniform rank by Conduskeag Lodge.
At night the Bangor Auditorium was
transformed into lodge room and the
Peter Woodland degree team of 81 men
exemplified the degree of knight before

England from the St. Croix to Lake

England from the ST. Croix to Lake
Champlain. Some of the salaries are
very small, running down to $3.50 year,
and up to 81, 200 or even 81, 700. The en-
cumbents are Republicans almost to
man, and to a woman, for goodly nu s.
Der of assistant postmasters In the
smaller offices are women. They are
under civil service, but were converted
under it by presidential order and were
selected originally on the political prefer
ence plan There is Democratic argument
for requiring these assistant postmasters
to take civil service examinations, at
least as much argument as there ever
was for the fourth class postmasters to
be required to take such examinations.
The procedure does not assure Demo-
Gratis in their stead, but it simply gives
Democratic applicants an opportunity to
show whether they car pass better ex-
aminations than Republican brethren. If
they can the places are likely to be
theirs, for authorities at Washington
will look out for that.
| There is one other patronage thorn in
the flesh of New England Democrats,
Maine Democrats especially. That IS
the deputy collector of customs. If only
it could be brought about that new civil
service examinations would be required
for these deputyships, the basis for
Democrat complaint as to patronage
would be pretty we'll eliminated.

THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION
AND THE VETERANS.

WASHINGTON, June %, 1914. Grand
Army veterans throughout the country
have been reused to action by the dis
charge of old soldiers from the Govern
ment service in Washington. On the
heels of dismissals of veterans who had
served the Government faithfully in the
Washington city post Office for years,
came President Wilson's declination of
the invitation to deliver the Memorial
Day address at Arlington National Gene
terry. where SO many thousands of the
''boys of '61" lie sleeping.
President Wilson's last-minute recall
Of his declination, after Speaker Clark,
his political enemy, had agreed to make
the speech, has fallen very short of sat-
isfying the old soldiers. Evidently, they
are up in arms with all their old fighting
blood aroused over those two slaps in the
faces of the Union veterans.
The feeling in Grand Army circles
over what the veterans regard as scant
courtesy on the part of President Wilson
on Memorial Day and the dismissals of
veterans from the Washington post Of
fee would seem to be growing greater
instead of smaller. Washington Gard
ner, of Albany, New York, the National
Commander of the Grand Army, is in
Washington in support of DR.. J. K. Glee-
son, Commander of the Department Of
the Potomac, who has made valiant
fight for the reinstatement of the veter-
ans dismissed. Word has been flashed
to all the old veterans of the country to
hold themselves in readiness to defend
themselves from further attacks of the
Democratic administration.
In spite of protests to President Will
son, old veterans have been told to 60,
and threatened with dismissal if they did
not resign. The treatment accorded
these old men, who have given faithful
service, has brought a flood of kilograms
for Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, and the end is not yet. Some re-
instatements, out Of fear of the political
effect of these dismissals, may be ex-
pected, but veterans say that will not
satisfy the affront which was given the
Grand Army of the Republic.
In speech at mass meeting, in
Washington, few nights ago, in which
Senators, Representatives in Congress
and private citizens Joined with the vet
Grams in protest against the dismissal of
veterans, Commander in Chief Gardner
said the question was not local one,
but one that reached all over the coun-
try.
