PROSPERITY AND THE
FETISH OF PARTY

From nearly every big railroad
system in the country comes the
cheering news that idle freight cars
are all being put in commission and
the resources of the roads will be
taxed to their utmost to move the
crops. Heavy orders for more To-
comotives and cars are also going
into the factories, thousands of men
laid off for months past, are being
returned to work and the railway
outlook generally is of highly en-
couraging character. There could be
no better evidences of returning good
times. The Wilson panic, feared by
SO many and devoutly prayed for by
some others who hadn't much to
lose and wanted it for political reas-
ons, has never materialiZed; and
while there has been some depres-
sion during the past year due to con-
ditions in nowise related to politics,
it has been no worse than was re-
peatedly the case under the previous
administrations and was merely the
reverse swing of the pendulum of
action and reaction incessantly 60
ing on in the world of commerce
and industry.
We have reached higher levels of
thought than our forefathers and it
is time that all of us were getting
away from the primitive and child
ish notion that hard times and good
times are related to the party in
power as effect to cause and all we
must do to get back the good times
is to kick out the crowd in control
of the government and put our crowd
in. The day for that kind of reas-
oning has passed and the intelligent
and unprejudiced American citizen
now knows that neither prosperity
nor adversely comes or goes at the
beck of politics, but is due to causes
lying in the laws of nature and COM
merce and no country can always
hope to escape the reaction of those
laws.
Wise men no longer worship a po-
litical party as a fetish, but study
politics as related to the general
good in the calm, impartial spirit
OF a chemist working in his labora-
tory not to conform results to his
theories, but to derive his theories
from the results.

We never met Teddy Roosevelt or
Pancho Villa, but we have seen their
pictures in the papers some millions
of times, and as first discoverer we
call attention to the striking resem-
blance between the two celebrities
from the nose to the chin. Their
mouths are remarkably alike, loose
Tipped, but resolute, but Villas teeth
are very much on the bum while
Teddy's look as strong and capable
as a cave mans. And both men are
slashing, dashing, ripsnorters with
supreme self-confidence, and it is
not unlikely that Villa may yet play
a very Rooseveltian part in Mexican
politics.

streets lined with boys and city

Of whom knew a pitchfolk from
a header barge.
But the farmers there did not
seem to take fright at silk socks
and scholarly looks. Within an
hour we had a job and, packed
IN a large lumber wagon, were
joltlng toward it.
A Beautiful Drive.
The sun was almost down
when we started on the drive,
and the eight miles to the far
mer's home during which we sat
and stared in popeyed wonder
at the unbroken miles OF yellow
grain, was one long, en- oyable
pull at cigarettes. There was
wheat on both sides of the road.
1t extended into the valley on
every side of us, on to the next
hill and still on to the next and
the next, until the swaying
heads met the sky.
A Rude Shock.
This was the first rude shock
we had received. "Jove,' said
the man from Boston. "The fell
low must think we're cattle.
Imagine sleeping in a hayloft
over the stable. Why they pro-
vided the best kind of feather
beds on the farm I visited before,
and in the best room in the
house at that"
Although we all shared the
feelings Of the man from Boston
to some extent we wisely refrain
cd from further comment and
did as directed. But half an
hour in the loft with its one lit
tie window and musty hay, to
say nothing Of the odoriferous
evidence of necessary farm habi-
tatlon below, was enough for us.
I'VE gathered up our blankets
and made Our beds under the
cottonwood trees in the yard.
About 3 o'clock-it must have
been 2 when we finally fell
asleep-we were awakened by a
veil. Reggie had a bug in his
ear, We were just settled again
when one Of the university stu
dents awoke us to say he had
heard a rattlesnake close to him.
Altogether we had slept about
an hour each when the farmer
came out at 4 o'clock. He found
three Of us sitting up on the
porch of the house. We in
formed him that, being built
lenSthwise, the ground would
have to be plowed and narrowed
before we could sleep on it. He
said we would sleep on it all
right when we got tired.
The Work Begins.
They had started four binders
the day before we arrived and
had left the bundles at hon on the
ground. The piece was level
and contained 100 acres The
binders were cutting around the
whole thing. Our business, we
were told, was to set the bundles
up in shocks and, if we were as
good as we should be, we would

This is strange talk from a man like
Editor Powell, one of the most Wig
orous apostles of publicity on the
State press. There will be hundreds
of thousands of visitors at the San
Francisco exposition from every
State in the Union and every coun-
try in the civilized world, and vain

the people in this State seeking to
secure a Florida building and ex-

succeed. The prospect doesn't seem
favorable, but if they can put their
program through there can be no
doubt about the benefit that will ac-
crue to Florida if advertising in its
most impressive concrete form is a
good thing. The Suns plan for a

Reggie lost some Of his pop
ularity at breakfast. The farm
er's wife, carrying her Youngest
offspring hooked under one arm,
served us with salt pork, fried
potatoes, stewed dried peaches
and coffee. She was assisted by
a girl about 10 years old.
A Sun With Punch.
But we were anxious to get
the day started, so gave little at
tention to breakfast. The farm
er and one of the native hands
showed us how to set up the
bundles and then we went at 1t.
The first two rows OF bundles
had to be carried twenty or
twenty-five feet to be shocked IN
order to leave room for the bind
er to cut the back swath, that be-
ing the swath the binder knock
ed down the first time around
the field. We went at the bum
dies with both hands. We seized
them by the bearded heads,
regardless OF the scratching, set
them in place, and dived tor
more.
In carrying the bundles we
seized them by the binding
twine, slipped a bundle on each
finger and came walking in to
the shock straight backed and
smiling. On down the side OF
the field we sped, leaving trail
Of shocked grain-most OF the
shocks standing.
About 9 o'clock I discovered
that the sun had come up. |
suppose it had been there for
some time, but | had not noticed
it. Several of the Others re-
marked that the sun appeared to
be closer than usual and | saw
that the office workers were not
bringing in 50 many bundles on
their trips to the edge OF the
field.
Groggy at the Gong.
But there wasn't much slack
ing up. We talked about the
good the hard work would do
us and how we would fool the
farmer by coming up behind the
binder and sitting down to rest
about the middle of the after
noon Then Our watches began
running slow. At II o'clock we
were sure it was 80. The
sun, instead Of going on across
the heavens stopped and came
down close over Our bended
backs.
Four of the workers had gone
out without gloves, determined
to get toughened into it right at
the start" The wheat boards
and binder twine now had their
palms raw They began carrying
the bundles under their arms
but did not complain.
