TWO WELL KNOWN
UNPOPULAR men
The Soil Robber and the
Community Robber.
SOME FARMERS ROB LAND.

Which 10 the Greater Robber, the
Farmer Who Robs His Soil or the
Man Who Robs tho Community?--A
Glorious American Privilege - Time
to Pause and Consider.
copyrighted. 1914 by Thomas J. Sullivan. |
There are many and various kinds of
robbers loose today in this land OF
plenty, but perhaps the two most I'M
popular Of them are the soil rnbber and
the community robber-the farmer
who rObs his land of its producing
strength and the consumer who robs
bis community of its dollars.
The nigh grade. successful farmer is
the one who increases rather than di
minishes the fertility of his land. Ev.
cry year he changes his crop with that
one object in view. He subscribes fol
and reads very carefully the agric,l'
tural reports. paying particular atten
ton to the reports on experiments made
by advanced and progressive farmers.
Why he does this is plain He knows
very we'll that it would be useless to
plant good seed in wOrnout soil. It's
his wish and intention to make profit
ON his investment in seed and labor as
we'll as In soil. and this. of course
could not be accomplished If the soil
were not fruitful.

The big city mail order houses that

UNI Of catalogues to farmers and 9th
Gers all over the country buy nothing
afrom their customers. They invariably
dexchange goods for money. never
smOney for goods. They employ no
labor in the communities where their
customers must earn their living: they
buy no farm products: they own no
veal estate: they pay no taxes: they
nave no money on deposit in the local
cbdnks: they do not advertise in the
focal newspapers: they do not give

pm goods they sell. Every cent taken
by them out Of the community is per
'. nanentiy lost to the business of that

p6sed, and where is It found?
The word meerschanm is composed
of two German words meaning sea
foam, the French name for the same
substance being ecume de mer-foam

and misleading as the substance has
no connection with the sea. but is a
soft mineral found in different parts
of the world. most extensively in Asia
and at some places in the United
States. That found in the far east Is
sent in large blocks chiefly to Vienna.

COX CARRYING
WAR INTO AFRICA

Springfield o., April 16.-Governor
Cox and T. ]. Duffy of the industrial
commission spoke in Springfield to a
meeting arranged by the workmen of
Springfield, to which employers and
citizens generally were invited.
Springfield is the home of Judge
Summers, who recently retired from
the supreme court bench in Ohio.
Judge Summers has been a critic Of
the workmen's compensation law and
has contributed several articles to
local newspaper complaining Of the
delay in adjusting two cases growing
out of industrial accidents. The in
dustrial commission advises that in
one case adjustment was delayed
three weeks, and in the other four
weeks, in order to determine the ex-
tent of the injury.
This situation prompted Governor
Cox to contrast the conditions exist
ent before the workmen's compensa-
tion law was passed with those exist
ent now, and he gave the history of
a personal injury. suit which was
finally decided by the supreme court,
Judge Summers himself rendering
ahe decision.

AN INDEPENDENT OPINION
OF GOVERNOR cox

The Columbus Evening Dispatch, a
great independent newspaper, thus im-
partially sizes up Governor James M.
Cox.
Governor James NJ. Cox has reached
an interesting point in his career. He
has made good and thereby becomes con-
spicuous in the state and nation. The
band OF jackals that have bounded the
heels of good men and great since the re-
motest past are now after him. The dis
appointed, the disgruntled, the dishonest
the politician out of job or wanting one,
these are the ones who are now so zeal
ously denouncing him in the name of the
people.
Designing persons in his own party
and in other parties look upon Governor
Cox with hatred They cannot use him.
He stands between them and their de-
sires. The promoters of selfish interests
the hangers-on of big corporations, those
who have been getting something for
nothing, the extravagant spenders of pub
lie money-all these have ever denounced
such men as Governor Cox.
And they have ever used the same
tactics in denouncing such men. They
play upon the incredulity of people who
have not had time to inform themselves
as to facts. Without being specific as to
any action or policy of a man, they de-
nouuce him broadly in such terms as to
leave the impression that he is a tyrant,
a self-seeker or a william.
But all such inharmonius discord of
criticism against the Governor does not
indicate that it will have any influence
upon his splendid public career. Indeed
it only indicates that the great body OF
safe, sane and honest people will get be
hind him at the proper time and see to il
that his honest hand, working overtime
in their interest, be upheld.
Governor Cox has kept the faith, bis
promises have not been empty words,
the mandates laid upon him by the voters
have been honestly and without equivo-
cation moulded into progressive laws
with teeth to hold.
1T is not unnatural that when these
teeth begin to nip, Privilege should give
loud tongue"
