The Detroit times., 1915-07-17

Every few days, Stewart Hanley gives
evidence of being one Of Detroit's most
valuable citizens.
Mr. Hanley has brains. as many other
men have; and he also has keen sense
of his obligation to use his brains, part
of the time, in the service Of the COM
monwealth, as many other men have not.
1t was Stewart Hanley who suggested
when work was scarce and there were
great numbers of citizens in need. that
Detroit should care for Detroiters first
an idea that was caught up by other
cities. with the result that the jobless
of those towns were relieved in their
homes, and did not flock to become a
burden on supposedly prosperous De-
troit.
Now Mr.. Hanley comes forward to
call attention to the need of supervision
of the jails in rural communities.
AS a member of the state board of
corrections and charities, he is familiar
with those jails.
He finds them "relics of the dark
ages"-places in which human beings
are confined without regard to comfort,
health or even decency.
He discovers that the hard-won knowl-
edge of penologists in larger communities
has failed to penetrate the farming sec
tons, and that so far as they are con-
cerned, their people might be living in
the time Of the Bastile's worst days.
Therefore he recommends efficient su-
pervision, which will teach these commu-
mites how to care for their prisoners in
an enlightened manner.
Mr.. Hanley knows that good jails
make better men than bad jails, just as
good treatment makes better dogs than
bad treatment
Wayne county made mistake when
it voted itself out of Mr.. Hanley's ser
vices as probate Judge; but the county
loss will be the states gain. so long as
he devotes his thoughts and his energies
to the betterment of sad conditions in q
wider field than he had in the local court.

FARM LIFE.
~ on. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank crane)

There is little dispute of the fact that
the farm is the backbone of nation.
A nation of farmers is self-sufficient.
A nation of cities is artificial, dependent
upon the products of others.
Progress during the last half century
has been toward farm betterment.
What the farmer needed was to make
more profits and to have a more varied
and attractive life. To these ends the
following agencies have worked:
The trolley car lines nave spread
rapidly throughout the rural sections not
covered by railroads. Transportation is
the key to civilization. Electric railway
lines have done much to relieve the isola-
ton of country life.
The automobile. At first & plaything
Of the rich, the motor car has been
cheapened and bettered until it has be-
come much utilized by farmers. The
Sunday meeting, the ChautauQua assem-
bly,. and the town square are crowded
with gasoline machines where once were
horse-drawn vehicles.
The telephone has been priceless
boon to jewellers in far places.
Rural free delivery has brought to the
farm house one of the greatest advan-
tages of the town dwelling.
The parcel post is another instance
where government has been Of assistance
to the country people.
Agricultural colleges have actively and
freely aided the farmer to apply science
to labor, and have contributed deal
toward making the cultivation Of land
pay.
University extension departments and
Chautauqua circles have been of help in
enriching intellectual life in the country.
Ancient civilization was all in cities (;
even religion was centered there; coun-
try people were called 'pagans."
Modern civilization is realizing that II
must be folded back upon the land or rot.
A banker-farmer conference, the first
of its kind in the United States, was
recently held in Chicago. The organized
bankers addressed themselves to the
problems of better credit facilities, better
roads. better marketing and distribution
systems for farmers.
The State Bankers Association Of
Alabama has employed woman. Mrs. G..
II. Matthias, as travelling lecturer
throughout the state to show the farm
crS how 10 improve crops.
Her success has been remarkable. She
has taught the farmers the proper rota-
ton Of crops and the profitable raising
Of live stock: she has brought geology
and soil chemistry to their rescue
Farms paying So an acre she has inn
proved to the point of paying ten times
that much.
Alabama has mixed brains with labor
and has found ii pays.
Banker Harris of Champaign. ILL.,, IN
his address before the conference above
referred to. said:
whatever the problems, local or in
ternational. that we must solve in the
future. we will be the better prepared for
them if we build up our agricultural life,
making the farm more likable, as well
as more profitable
There is the gist of the matter: to
make the farm more likable and more
profitable. To accomplish that We must
redeem the farmer from the position OF
serf, working for city men, supplying
for them the means for culture ana
amusement, and must make him clti-
zen. working for himself, for prosperity
that shall be for the fields as well as for
