of Indiana University and delivered
the principal address at the founders

I'VE need not go back to the con-
ditions that led to the great reforms

out of politics and while. of course,
corruption is not ever absent, the dam
ger of plutocracy has Disappeared and
the publication of politics has con-

The former President defended the
railroads by saying that the close and
absolute supervision over the manage
ment and the restriction upon the
rates together with the increase or
maintenance of wages through the
power of unions. have ground the rail-
roads between the upper and lower
millstones and prevented a fair return
upon their capital. The solvency of
some of them is threatened, and all
this to the detriment of the business
of the country and especially to the
conff3rS dhG iiappihsss of Vffseseath-
ers. dependent upon normal business

urged by Mr.. Taft.
Professor Taft criticised many of

fairs and declared that the selection of
candidates at a general primary has
not tended to the elimination of cor

The Georgia State Board of EntO

have been working intelli3ently in
behalf of the farmer, by aiding him

Their latest plan is to go into ev-
cry infested county and lay bare anG
plain the plans to combat the boil
weevil. They will urge co-operatoia
and outline the plans which science
has found to be the best way to Off
set the evils of the Mexican contri-
button to our section.
From several sections of the state
reports have been published that the

1t appears reasonable that the author

element over the boil weevil a nd
there be no such insect there.
Taking the far-fet?heG gtcGni that
the boil wcevil is not here, The cam
paign for the diyersifcation of crops
will work for untold benefit to our
people. The energy which is beir 9
expended will not go to waste, even
il the insect is not here.
Cotton has ruled as the supreme
product of the South too long. 1t has
made US vassal subjects to the world
