TOUCHING A MISTAKING IDEA

The Minneapolis Farm Stock and Home reads its farm
subscribers lesson in politics in recent issue-and
it is reprinted for what it is worth Some will endorse it
and others will not but there probably good advice
in it than in of the attering editorials on the
same subject The main point see is the central
idea that should not be judged by the clothes he
wears much by what he says by his acts if given
Che opportunity of public service This is the way the
farm editor expresses it.
1T is falacy born of unreasOn and fostered in the
pride of ignorance that democracy means that any chance
selected man among is capable of rightly governing the
rest Of This theory has its strong suppOrters-men
who decry fitness as though it something of which
to beware The leaders, they say must be Of and from
the peopeP And so they should be. But when man, by
dnt Of patient years of effort has schooed himself to
lead those who believe in always eveng down democracy
rather than evelng it up repudiate such leadership
mot of the people.
"Curousy enough this phenomenon shows itself quite
clearly in the thinking and political action Of farmers. No
matter how fit man may be- the more fit he is the better
Informed the more complete his Judgment the more
ly will he find opposition from his own people the
ground that he is not real farmer.
"Does the fact that man no longer wears jeans and
hickory shirt debar him from speaking for and in COM
plee sympathy with those with whom he has for life
time associated? To hear some talk one would infer as
much But it is not true and the who asserts the
truth of such false assumption advertses to the world
the fact that his standard of thought and judgment
dependent upon the clothes he and the people
with whom he happens to associate.
Leadership belongs to the fit and the fit are men and
women who possess Judgment clear vision honest pur-
pose, and a broad sympathy with all classes Leaders
selected because of their intolerance inevitably fail Pick
the other kind Then it will not matter one ota whether
he happens at the moment to be wearing hickory shirt
stand-up collar, he can be counted on when Loyalty
supported to all the people WELL and in serving all
we'll the farmer will be well served

TAFT ON EQUAL SUFFRAGE

Former President Taft relates in article in cur
rent publication that f the suffrage is sufficiently delayed
to give better preparations for class for eX
ercse of the franchsets advantages will outweigh its
probable injurious consequences
He cannot be said to favor equal suffrage therefore,
for immediate adoption and yet he does not say he op
posed to the principle Of equal suffrage but the con-
trary infers that he favors it.
He also says that equal suffrage might be all right for
some states and not for Others He possibly refers to
southern conditions
This stand Of the former president leads the Boise
Statesman published in of the pioneer suffrage states
of the Unoin, to comment as follows:
The equal suffrage leaders will be quick to accuse the
former president of straddng the ISSUE which, if true
would hardly become of his well known courageous at
titude on. public questions
"There is no question that women as class would be
better fitted for the franchise if they took the install
ment plan and went through course of preparedness.
Imagine the conduct of men, being given the franchise Of
sudden without ever having participated in it,
'We wish however the former executive had given us
the benefit of his program Of preparation 50 we might
know how much of dose in his judgment, might be safe
ly taken at time"

Believe Liner Fire Was
Caused By German Spies

London, Sept. 2O.-Captain Pavey of
the Fabre liner Santa Anna believes
that Austro-German spies caused the
fire aboard the vessel in mid.ocean a
few days ago, Lloyd's agent at st.
Michael, Azores eabled today.
He was Convinced, the agent said,
that bombs were placed on the ship
because she carried 100 Italian reser.
visits bound for Naples. Had the YES
sci carried munitio;s, the flames would
certainly have caused an explosion
which would have wrecked the liner
Several explosions preceded the fire.
Thirty unexploded bombs were found
after the flames were extinguished.
The report praised the crew and pas
sengers and said there was no panic.
Nine liners stood by in answer to
Santa Annals wireless call for help.
The liner, Ancona, the first to arrive,
took off COS women, children and aged
men.

Spy! Spy!" arose. The police arrest

clothes and revealed the fact that they

In the morning we also learned that

that the machine was forced to come
down In the public garden at the ex-
IRENE north end of the city, near the
arsenal.
On landing it struck a tree. The
pilot was thrown out and had both
legs broken, but the officer accompany
ing him was uninjured. He was imme-
diately arrested and discovered to be
a renegade Venetian, from a very
prominent family of the city. He for
merly had been an officer in the Ital-
ian navy and stationed for several
years at the Venice arsenal. Through
fast life in the navy he got deeply
in debt, resigned from the service and
went to Germany, where he engaged
in business.
With the outbreak or war he enlist
ed in the German flying corps, and his
invaluable personal knowledge Of VEN
ice caused him at once to be detailed

sists of three or four legs, usually six

are also useful. A pyramid permits
the building of rather large cocks
with a hollow space in the middle,
which helps greatly in drying the hay.
