addition n series OF one-week agricultural
schools held in practically every county
of the State and the attendance this year
is 10y far the largest i'm the history of the
institute work. Fifteen correspondence
courses in agriculture and home economies
for those wishing TO study at home. were
announced last month for the first time
and already hundreds of farmers, farm

of the state have enrolled. In recent

In like manner the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station is extending its work to

husbandry in cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture have
been started and arrangements are now
being made for determining the cost of

Another vindIcatIon

When President Wilson undertook to
enact n stable and same currency law,
Republicans generally, backed up by
few alleged business interests, hollered
don't" They predicted dire conse-
qucnces to the country should Congress
fail to adjourn and go home. What
they said then was little more than a
whisper in comparison with the noise
they created when the man in the White
House announced his determination TO
keep his promise made to the American
people Tor trust legislation that would
regulate big business and Mt the same
time set it free. Every little Republican
partisan in the nation denounced the
President for keeping Congress i'm session,
and regular campaign was started to
defeat the consideration OF the admins
tration program.
What is the result today The Presi-
dents trust program will be part OF the
law of the land in II few more days, and
with the passage OF the several bills in
Congress, opposition members are jump
ing over one another to record themselves
IN favor Of the trust bills.
The Federal trade commission bill
passed the House by unanimous vote,
which prompted the Republicans floor
leader, James X. Mann, TO say:
MIR. Speaker, think all the members
OF the House will vote for this conference
report. Doubtless it is not IN the exact
form IN which other members might
have written it, but / think that, on the
whole, the House has this bill--members
ON the House side have written the bill
and believe IL will prove TO be one OF
the steps in legislative development which
we have we'll taken" (Applause.)
Only brave man could have with
stood the criticism and attack that was
heaped ON the President when he insisted
that there should be regulation OF the
trusts.
