An Important Question.

Did it ever occur to you that the
most important question to you is
how much every farmer raises and how
many acres Of land he cultivates? If a
farmer turns off only one beef steer
instead of twenty, your meat bill is go
ing to be high, yes, higher When the
farmer cultivates only 40 acres instead
Of so, the consumer of food stuffs IS
the loser.
What is this to the average citizen,
you ask !? The farmer expands his use
fulness in proportion as the small as
well as the large investor comes to his
aid with the cash to fertilize and culti-
vate, through the purchase Of mort
cages, which not only builds our rail-
roads, factories. telegraph and tele-
phone lines, but is today the greatest
force in providing the farmer with the
necessary cash with which to improve
his farming methods, increase his acre
age and turn off more cattle and pro-
Guce, thus giving the people more and
better food at lower prices.
The mortgage supplies the progress
sive man with the means, and in turn
furnishes the investor with the very
best security as well as a splendid re-
turn in interest.
There is no security on earth like the
earth itself.

Tolls of Brutalities.
The speaker described the condl-
ton OF a few of the eonvicts who
were brought before the Grand Jury
how men were brutslly beaten when
sick and how they were whipped UNI
mercifully for missing the lick in
their work. He told Of the death of a

he said. She was sick The State
sent her father to the Changing for
eight months, AMI took away her and
her mothers support. The mother
was forced to work for IS per week
and leave her sick child. That was
murder"
Mr.. Weltner advocated the abol-
ton of the lash. stripes and chains
and the hiring of intelligent men as
guards and wardens. He said that
the removal OF the chains from the
convicts would require more guards.
but that the State could well AFFORD 10
hire more on account of the free la
Dor.
THE present abominable system"
concluded the speaker, which de-
grades Doth convicts and guards into
brutes. is fundamentally wrong. All
good citizens must arise and correct
it. Already there are more crimes
committed against the criminals thar

The questioning of six convicts
