WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There Is
as much water in farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there Is In business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter Outlines takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as rule, takes
NO chances and his success cripples
the property, involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $2OO,000,O00 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents 100000
900 Of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum Of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earths sur
ace-three-fourths water and one
fourth land. The largest body Of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity Of the nation.
viii our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid of in
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water OF the farms?

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order Of COM
partnership, civilization has lowered
to it's greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years Of progress. she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage. thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years In the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that 1t is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes on the backs Of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and UNI
ashamed.

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There Is
scarcely a campaign speech made, a
platform demand written or a mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more "blue sky in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses Of the bold
est promoters of chimerica! business
schemes There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians in the
name of my Country than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE 1T en-
acted than were ever concealed I'M
der any aud all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress In
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk of an In
dustry. or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, pc
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story Of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, if they
could not shake plums off the tree oil
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public

u.ut4N WARNED TO BE-
MAZE Oh FRISCO LURES
Young Girls are Advised Not to Seek
Employment in California Now.

Young girls contemplating seeking
employment in California this sum-
mer are strongly warned not to go
there. At the conference of COM
.littees of the General Federation Of
omen's clubs, held at Chicago last
summer the chairman of the so ial
and industrial conditions department
passed resolutions urging every state
federation of clubs to assume the re-
sponsiLllity of printing and posting
,hout their respective state a
warning to keep girls from going
} San Francisco in 1915. The
committee wishes the clubs of the
country to give the utmost publicity
concerning this danger.
Clubs Issue Warning
Idaho's committee is composed of
Mrs. e. ]. Dockery, Boise, chairman;
Mrs. !sham Sedgwick, WENDELL Mrs.
George Axline, Albion; and Mrs. G.
J. Orland, Moscow. The members are
urging all the papers of the state to
reprint this warning that the Idaho
girls may not fall into danger:
The women of San Francisco are
determined to prevent the letting of
a portion of the fair grounds for
the purpose of establishing houses
of prostitution and are doing all in
heir power to stay the evil.
However this controversy ends,
one thing must be remembered. The
vice that sacrifices the girlhood and
boyhood of the country, and brings
contamination upon innocent wives
and children-that vice intends to
flourish somewhere during the
worlds fair.
Let it be remembered that the
country will be secured for girls to
supply the demand for this nefarious
business, and every means that is
possible for man to conceive will be
used to snare and mislead these girls
in order to secure them.
No Positions Vacant
Every girl should be warned
against advertisements of positions
in San Francisco, for every place
that is worth while will be taken,
and the door that is open to the
strange girl will be the door that
leads to perdition. The papers that
do their duty to the girlhood of the
nation will publish the warning, and
women of every town and city who
would protect the youth of the land
III sound the alarm and caution
end guard the girls Of their neigh.
borhood.

WHY IS WOMAN
RESTLESS?
DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPENDS
UPON COMMENTED HOMES.
BY w. D. Lewis.
President Texas Farmers Union.

Why is woman dissatisfied? Why
does she grow restless under the
crown of womanhood? Why is she
weary of the God-given jewel of moth
erhood? Is it not sufficient political
achievement for woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in
her arms and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the worlds
greatest genuises, chant melodies to
master minds and rock the cradle OF
human destiny?
God pity our country when the hand
shake of the politician is more graft
flying to woman's heart than the pat
ter of children's feet.

Woman Is Ruler Over All.

Woman Is Ruler Over All.
Why does woman chafe under re-
straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has chung to since
the beginning Of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face OF
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to it's motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from 5t
youth learned to reverence and re-
spect womanhood. Can man think OF
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow.
er? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar.
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has given woman
his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find it in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one OF
the most powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one Of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that, his
mother was noted warrior and her
name terror to the enemy? Whittier

but believe there is more moral in
fluence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land. AS
an agency for morality, ! wouldn't

constitutions and bylaws in the world.

There is more power in the smile

There are greater possibilities for
good government In her family OF
laughing children than in the cab

States.
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam
lily Bible will ever remain the source
of our inspiration and the Acts Of the
Apostles will ever shine brighter than
the acts Of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to statute book, already groaning
under its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we never had q
chance to vote again in lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or

would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women become STEP
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.
