INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment Of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that Is the inspira-
tien of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door, 1t is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with it's fragrance, elevate
your ideals with it's beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as WELL Their beauty
gives human life it's first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is p1rading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at profit? Take the blush
ing liberia, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's apitalist-often goes
begging on thea market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also we'll to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships in the
exhibits at county fair.

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
/ tice of such a procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the, decision is
so far-reaching that we have asked
L. E. Johnson, president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to, briefly review
the suit. Mr.. johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number of states at two
cents a mile. AS a basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business SO regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such a rate would yield to the rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class of business.
such law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested 1t sought relief from

FED TIE ELEPHANT; IN JAIL
New York Visitor Couldn't Resist APP
pealing Trunk of Hungry
PachYderm.

Giuseppe Rizzo's native generosity
and kindness of heart got him into
dire trouble the other day. Rizzo Is
barber, twenty-three years old, and
lives on Claremont avenue, the Bronx.
1t was a warm and balmy afternoon,
and Rizzo went forth. His course led
him to the animals in the zoo. AS he
looked upon them, Gagged and unable
to enjoy their freedom, the BARRIERS
kind heart was touched. To express
his sympathy he bought candy and
peanuts and fed them.
Special officer Fitzpatrick caught
him in the act. He halted Rizzo's pea
nut-laden hand as it reached for the
elephants outstretched trunk.
Cut it OUT he admonished. Don't
you see the sign-dont feed the ami
mals?'
But da poor elephanta, he like da
peanut" pleaded Rizzo, as he stuffed
the bag back in his pocket and walked
away. He was disconsolate. He i'm
agined he could see a tear in the
pachyderm's eye. The pacbyderm's
trunk stretched forth beseechingly,
and Rizzo's kind heart could stand 1t
no longer. Stealthily he crept
to the cage again, succulent goober
clutched in his grasp. The moist tip
of Jumbo's trunk closed about it. He
grunted in satisfaction. Fitzpatrick
arrested Rizzo and took him to the
lookup. He was charged with vandal-
ism.-New York Sun.

Announcement that the cottages Of
"Samoset," a summer resort outside of
Morrisville, are all occupied, speaks we'll
for the popularity of that place, more es-
pecially because some of the occupants
are returning for their third or fourth
seasons. Constant changing about by
tourists with each succeeding year doe s
not indicate full satisfaction with the ac-

rather good testimonial of contentment.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
II~--L. E. johnson
On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost Of
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to it's contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the SUI
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
a railroad earns surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for COM
pelling him to sell his cotton at less
than cbst. It would not satisfy The
man who wanted bread to be told
hat its high price enabled the cotton
to get his raw product
'or less than cost. In this. case the
court reaf1rmed the homely maxim
hat each tub must stand upon its

sisted that he tell her whom he loved.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst OF
controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled ''gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.
