ROOSEVELTS PLAN WOULD FAIL.

Colonel Roosevelts plan to stop by leagueing the
world together against any power that might make war;
is but emphasizing the original purpose of The Hague
Tribunal which has utterly failed says Goodwins Week
ly. To forbid alliances would help but would not be a
cure To order boycott against any nation that might
bring on war would greatly help but it would not be
cure
Were decree against all offensive and defensive al
ances to be accepted then two powers say Great
Britain and Germany to form secret alliance and start
out to conquer the EARTH they would pretty nearly
ceed
That would be no more breaking of pledges than we
have all seen during the past five months general dis
amng of the nations and the destruction Of their
ships and land defenses would be effective but when could
such an agreement be made? To boycott in trade nations
who insisted on going to would help but it would be
hard to enforce decree of that kind There too much
of the wld-beast in human hearts STILL to insure cessa

Christian Endeavor society in Cana
da, then preaching to Methodist con-
gregation atBarnum, Mimi, and finally
taking charge of the nswly-organized
First Presbyterian church at Bemidji,
Minnesota.
At Barnum, the young man had
come into contact with the lumber
jack. At Bemidji he saw, first-hand,
how in the oldan days, the woodsman
would come to town after pay day
and return the next week to his
hazardous, comfortless drudgery, roll
ed of his money, haggard of body and
scared of soul.
The reaction Of these men on the
young minister had two results. There
was a cleanup in Bemidji- the first
of many. The First Presbyterian
church of that city lost it's minister;
Higgins determined to carry the Cos
pei to the lumberjack in his natural
habitat
So into the woods he went, pack
sack of blankets and food on his
shoulders, his body warmed by a
rough sheepskin mackinaw, his feet
packed into half-dozen pairs of
socks and rubber-leather boots. He
walked into the lumber camps, and
from stumps and log piles preached
to the men as they sawed and hewed
at the trees, as they munched their
coarse food on the felled forest giants.
Deep into the night he preached to
them the gospel of the Christ for
men, while they stretched about the
squalid bunkhouses. He traversed the
dim trails of the deep marshes to
minister to them and to carry spiri-
tual and material blessings to them.
The lumberjacks named Higgins
Americas first "Sky Pilot" He was
called to the great cities of the coun-
try to preach the gospel to men, But
invariably in his sermons, he would
revert to the men with the saws and
axes, and tears would battle his frost
bitten cheeks as he would tell of the
-throbbing of these sons of toll.

We take exception to Speaker Flow
ers when he says q hope we shall
conduct ourselves like Gentlemen and
not like Lumberjacks." After all, a
gentleman is gentle man and we've

worthy the attention of ''The gentle
man from lie Sueur." Coming at the
time when the whole country is re-

of "Lumberiacks," Mr.. Flowers re-

Governor Hammond urges codi-
flying and clarifying of the election
laws, but no important changes ex-
cept one. Taking cognizance of the
fact that many Republicans vote in
Democratic primaries and many Dem
ocrats in Republican primaries, he
proposes that the bars be thrown down
altogether, and that all voters be per-
mitted to participate in the prima-
ries of all parties. No harm would be
done, he says, and probably better
nominations-better for the state if
not for the parties-would be made.
Moreover, he might have added that
this would at least remove the stig-
ma of law violation from the present
practice.

READING NOTICES
MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
(By Hiram Wallace.)

T BELIEVE that the farmers in all
parts of the country pay too much
- attention to other peoples bust
ness and not enough to their own. The
farmer must understand that his farm
is a manufacturing plant and that
he is business man the same as any
other individual who is engaged in
turning out a finished or partly fin
ished product. Farming therefore is
a business. 1t needs attention and
a lot of it if the plant is to be eff
cient and the product is to be market
ed for what it is worth. But the
farmer is not minding his own bust
ness. He lets another man make the
prices-fix the rates he is to receive
for the output of his plant. The fell
lows in the cities, the stock yards
men, the warehouse men, the cold
storage men, the commission men, the
butter, milk, cheese and egg men,
these are the persons who fix the prices
VIC 111IlCI 10 W 1CSOINO anu ti1C
prices the retailers are to pay. And
you may be sure that between these
two prices there is a comfortable profit
for the man in the middle although
all that he does is to stand there be-
tween the two extremes of the trans
action. But that is his business and
he is attending to it. So he gets off
at Prosperity Station.
Suppose that all the farmers in
each district were organized Suppose
that they followed the plan of the
Florida or the California fruit grow
ers. Things would be different. But
it is hard to make the average farm
er understand this. He will listen to
the arguments of reformers and take
a day off to vote for this or that
freak law to prohibit something that
does not affect him at all and that,
therefore is not his business. But he
will spend no time to come into town
to attend a meeting that bears di-
rectly on his business -farming. He
will vote for a constitutional amend
ment to prohibit the use of cigarettes,
for instance, when the chances are
that neither he nor any member of
his family uses cigarettes. So he is
not Winding his own business. His
business is to raise the best grain,
Vegetables, fruit, poultry or stock that
he can, to see that he is provided
with cheap and sure means of get
ting these products to market and to
get the best possible price at the
market place. He cannot do these
things by acting independently. He
and his neighbors must get together,
act together and stick together. 1t
may be admitted that some farmers
are awakening to the fact that they
are business men and are conducting
their plants as if they were business
institutions. But the great majority
of these producers are just beginning
to realize that it is only by acting
in concert that the greatest good car
be accomplished. Mr.. Farmer, yor
who read this, are you minding your
business?
