AND HE RAN.

Two little boys went out nutting
one day, and as they were coming
home they passed a graveyard, and
climbed over the fence to count
their nuts and divided them equalIy
between themselves. But as they
climbed over, two nuts fell on the
outside of the fence and they said,
We will get them when we come
back"
They began in slow, sing-song
voice, 'One for you an one for

DRIVING THE BOYS TO THE CITIES.

| Dothan, Alabama, is one of the huStling
and thriving cities of the New South. 1t has
about 6 900 inhabitants and IS growing. 1t
supports two daily papers and otherwise
seems to be shaking off the lethargy which is
popularity supposed to have Kept back most
| southern towns. But Dothan like many other
| towns has its milestone in the shape of puri-
tanical reformers-sour-Souled creatures who
cannot bear to see others enjoying them
selves. For month past it has been the Gus
tom for the boys and young men of the town
to gather every afternoon on what might be
called the "village green' and amuSe them
selves with impromptu boxing matches 1t
was great sport and many of the business
men stopped for few moments to watch the
young fellows give and take with the gloves.
No e was hurt, no morals were spoiled, the
fun was being had on the mair street and alb
solutely in the open. There were no prizes
nor gambling-just gooc, clean, heaIthful,
manly sport. 1t harmed nobody and benefit
ed many. But just as it was becoming an in
stitution, enter the reformer. Boxing? Hor-
riDle! Stop it at once!'' The sheriff was no
tilted. The law stepped in and the young men
were forbidden to continue their sport. The
sheriff says he acted upon complaint. " Dol
lars to buttons the complainant is the To WI
Kicker, probably man who has done more
to hold Dotilan back than any other ten men
in the community. The boys will doubtless
continue to hold their boxing matches, but
will sneak away, like law-breakers, to some
secluded barn or back room where they will
continue until driven from those places. And
they will resent the interference, they will
blame the poor sheriff, then will become sore
on the town and after few more such expe-
rieneeS, will shake the dust of D0than from
their feet and will strike out for the larger
cities, where they think there will not be so
much interference with their personal lber
ties. 1t is too bad. There is no harm in
boxing when it is carried on as the Dothan
boys conducted the sport. The Y. M. c. A. i
ALL over the country encourage boxing. 1t is
an art that has made men of weddings, that
has put vim and ginger into boys who mig 1T
have become mollycoddes and it has saved !
thousands from personal injury if not death
at the hands of thugs. If Dothan has man
or number of men who want to counterfeit
the bad influences of the puritanical reformer |
Or reformers who prohibited the boxing, let I
them get together and furnish place where .
The boys may meet, under proper direction
and supervision, aud hold their boxing con-
-ests and their other clean, manly sports.
That's the way to keep the young fellows
rom flocking to tine cities. Other towns are
loine it and are reaping the benefits. In the
after class of towns the reformers are going
o seed. They can find nothing to reform.

RATE INCREASE
, NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products Of PIow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the applica-
ton of the roads to state and inter-
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are Inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands Of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an Improvement in our
transportation service, and an exten-
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but We have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines Of Least Resist
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since We have had railroad COM
missions. these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result, the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundant1y proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate of
any necessary commodity in COM
MERGE, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro-
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule Of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products of
the plow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes
basis for rate making and have never
heard Of anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but if the pros
perity of the farm is factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate On cotton and -four. We
would prefer that the rate, on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur-
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.

cause they take SO much more

they go in for physical training,
that they have literally grown up
in extraordinary fashion. This at
all events was very gratifying

many people to have this teory
