SOMETHING INTERESTING
FROM WASHINGTON

to be held at College Park, which
I is tbe name Of the little place where
the Maryland College Of Agricul.
ture is located It is only 10 miles
from Washington.
Several days in advance of The
meeting, ! saw my boss Col.
Higgins, sergeant-at-Arms Of the
Senate, aud asked for three days
leave Of absence.
Mr.. Editor, | bad an overmaster-
ing desire to,know if city people ac-
tually knew anything about coun-
try life and rural life conditions,
and / wanted to go and hear with
my own ears and see with my own
eyes.
I was there on time and took a
seat close up so as to be able to hear
well. The second speaker up was
an expert from the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington. He
was a nice looking chap, and | sized
him un as lawyer with a college
education and tr@ining. ! knew he
didn't know anything about rural
life or farm conditions. but | vas
amazed at his advice to Maryland
farmers.
A large part Of his address was
devoted to what he termed The
Conservation Of Rural Forces. In
short, he advocated the consolide,
ton of all churches, schools, socie-
ties, even the country baseball
clubs, under church influences. He
went on 10 say that the people in
the country were too poor to en-
ploy an educated preacher for every
church, but if all the churches
would consolidate, then they could
employ one good preacher.
His address sounded to me as an
insult to every American farmer,
for he seemed to regard them as 50
many cattle. 1t mattered not with
him that some might hold sacredly
to Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian
or some other religious faith, but all
most sacrifice their faith in God Al
mighty and consolidate into union
Of faiths in order to be able to pay
an educated man to address them.
I was glad when an old Maryland
farmer arose he looked like a
"hardshell Baptist land literally
eat" that expert up alive.
] call attention to this incident to
illustrate TIE kind Of cranks that
are sent out from Washington to
teach farmers. These men are high
up on the pay-roll-expensive men
employed to teach farmers.
This is more forcifully illustrated
in g recent matter that was aired
before a Senate investigating conf
mittee, in which it was shown that
Ohio farmers had lost MILLION
DOLLARS A DAY FOR SIX
WEEKS on account of too much
science" in connection with live
stock foot and mouth quarantine.
These men from the agricultural
Department hold their jobs not be-
cause Of their fitness for the posi-
tions. but because of political In
huences. And Of course they could
not be expected to know anything

Washington, D, G. Jan. II
Yes, Mr.. Editor, we on are the
Forenoon Watch Of the second GEM
tnry Of this Republic; the distant
shores have faded away, and we
are out on the mysterious, mighty
deep, with a strange chart and q
compass that points to an unknown
star. The officers Of the ship,
drunk with the lust Of power, are
flirting with fame and fortune be-
low, and the crew, inefficient, in
different and unconterned, are
gambling with the ships funds on
the decks, while far to the east,
unheaded and unheard, the roar Of
mighty canon announce the arrival
Of the Armageddon conflict Of the
ages. bringing with it a multipli-
city Of problems and perils.
Amidst these multiplying problems
and perils, Mr.. Editor, we need
statesmen whose brain is the tenn
pie OF wisdom and whose hearts
are the temple of liberty. But
they are not in the nations forum
today.
For the next ten or eight weeks
l desire to review before the peo-
pie the several appropriation bills
passed at this session Of congress.
We will take them in alphabetical
order, and we shall take up the
1915 Agricultural bill first. This
bill, you know, is supposed to be
for the exclusive use and behalf OF
the American farmer, and | ask
that the farmers read it closely and
see if there is really anything In 1t.
for them, and if so, how much.
The bill carries $22, 100000, and

salaries amount to $61, 800. There
are 43 messenger boys drawing
$500 a year. The negro women,
called 'charwomen" draw $45
month, and they only have to
scrub the marble floors. These ne.
gro women get nearly twice as
much year as a Georgia farmer,
whose annual wage, according to
the investigation oI the DepalJ-
ment of Agriculture, is less than
$500 a year, and those messenger
boys more than double him in
earnings.
Does the farmer profit from this
expenditure?
Connected with the Department
of. Agriculture are a number of
side-line gratis, among them the
Farm Management" graft. In
this side line there are 43 chiefs
and employees who draw $4,000 in
salaries; and for the general ex-
pense" of this same bureau the
Esam,of s235,OO is appropriated.
