CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION THE
REMEDY.

The Farmers Union favors legislation
that will permit and encourage coopcra-
ton among farmers of small means as
wall as other CLASSES in securing credit
and cheap money and also legislation
that will assist in the marketing of our
crops. and when this is accomplished we
consider the difficulties of the tenant
farmer will largely disappear. ~ many
of hem will become home owners We see
no more danger. however. 10 making land
usury unlawful than in making any other
kind If usury unlawful
We consider that large volumes Of
cheap money and u rural credit system
that will insure safety Ia the investment
and give protection to the investor will
result in doing away with all forms of
usury and these matters are all compre
hended in the platform of the Farmers
Union. which has been adopted 10y one of
the leading candidates for Governor.

Among all the public officials whom
we select, the ones who most of ali
should be clean, straightforward. able
and honest beyond the faintest shad-

officials are for the most part merely

eide between questions OF right and
wrong. and in a large measure set up
and establish the moral standards OF
the commonwealth. Hence the scru-

Jesus knew he would. yet gave him
plenty of timely warning not 10 do SO.
Jesus pointed him out as the one Who
would do this deed and then said bet

never were born This was said and
done in Judas presence, and there
was yet time to halt if lie he'd heCn
disposed so to do. Even just before
the traitorous kiss. there could have
been change of purpose for Jesus had
declared His identity and the mob had
no need Of action by Judas to tell Tor
whom they were looking.
The fate OF Judas has been repeated
oft since. Plenty Of men have been
used TO do foul deeds by DESIGNING,

ESTIMATING THE INCOME
TAX.

The New York Herald esti-
mates that John d. Rockefeller
will pay an income tax of So
900, 900 on an annual income of
$1OO,OO0,OO Andrew Carnegie a
tax of 100000 on an income OF
$15, 100000 and other wealthy
persons lesser but nevertheless
huge taxes on enormous incomes.
The Herald also forecasts an an
nual income of $30,OOO,OO0 from
New York alone under the new
income tax law.
These are startling figures, but
the matchless wealth Of New
York probably warrants the Her
AIDS estimates. If New York
contributes $30,OO0,00O a year
then it is reasonable to suppose
that THE rest Of the country will
be able to bestow the $50, OOO,OOO
need to make up the sum Of $780,
00O, 900, the amount the Treasury
Department predicted would be
available from the new tax

SEX EDUCATION.

In some Of the newspapers OF
today great stress is being APP
piled to sex education. 1t would
seem that sex knowledge is be-
ing encouraged, as one of the
many fads Of society. In the
days of our mothers such sOcalled
education was never given
Thought, at least as Is being sug-
gested in these days of progress
sion Whatever knowledge which
relates to the sexes may be best
impaired by the mothers to their
daughters and by the fathers to
theirsons.
The projected sex education in
the schools should be dismissed
from serious consideration. The
best and most logical educators
especially in their application tc
the fair sex, are their mothers.
After all, the greatest and
safest teachers Of boys and girls
who grom to be men and women
are their mothers, whose affec
tons and self-sacrifice for the
welfare and happiness Of their
children is indescribable and is
without NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

SENATOR THORNTON AND
CANAL TOLLS.

Senator Thornton statement
Of his reasons for supporting
Presidents Wilson appeal for the
repeal Of the exemption OF canal
tolls does credit to the Senator $
patriotism and craftsmanship.
Senator Thornton supported
the passage of the law IN the
honest belief that aside from IN
volving no legal or moral de-
parture from our obligations UNI
der the Hay-Paunceforts treaty,
it would stimulate the upbuilding
Of our merchant marine and help
American seaport cities without
injury to the interior section Of
the country.
He is not persuaded that he
was wrong in his belief. But
since at best the passage Of the
law was a question of policy rath-
err than Of principle, he is willing
now to subordinate the view
which his former vote expressed
to what he conceives to be his
duty in upholding the President
in the scrupulous fulfillment of
what the latter regards as an
obligation to the nations of the
world.
The question Of the repeal OF
the law is one as to which there
can be honest differences of opin-
ion, and Senator Thornton with
characteristic delicacy of feeling,
takes pains to say that his own
change Of attitude is in no sense
to be construed as even remotely
criticising other Senators who do
not see their way clear to alter
their own views. Yet one Of the
most significant manifestations Of
national confidence in the Presi
dent is the fact not only that
Congress seems certain to re.
verse iself, but that the press OF
the country, and notably of the
South which expected particular
" to be the beneficiary 70 the ex
emptions, is overwhelmingly sup
norting him in his reversal of hi
own position on the subject

The Boston Globe saws that tn

The Boston Globe says that the
farm is no place for the loafer".
That which is true, Of course. But
is there any place for the loafer ?
The loafer cannot succeed in
law, because it is constant appli-
cation and study that makes the
able and generally the successful
lawyer. He cannot succeed in
newspaper work, because that is
one profession that requires hus-
tiers who are willing to be up
and doing every minute. He can
not succeed in medicine, because
lazy doctor is an abomination,
whose patients are as few as they
are unfortunate. He cannot sue
coed in school, because study
work makes the honor student.
He cannot succeed in the stores,
because employers soon detect
and discharge the drones.-Crow-
