Miss Country Store Forum.

From the Toledo Blade.
Something was lost, and 1t was no little
thing, when the debaters around the stove
In the country grocery store ceased to set
tie the affairs Of the nation.
II was Il custom that greatly tickled the
professional humorists. The stage bur-
lesqued 1t. Th song writer's made sport
of it. Fiction writer's dressed 1t in dia-
lect and presented it to readers as the
abs,lrdest practice of which Americans
were guilty. 1t has been laughed wellnigh
out of existence.
There came to the evening debate the
farmer who all day at the pillow had been
thinking. The village carpenter brought
the thoughts that had been maturing
while he welded saw and hammer. The
postmaster spoke from an official stand
point, the school teacher from the schol-
astic. The local minister cited the scrip
lures and often there was some Law stu
dent ready to recite the statutes glibly il
not particularly to the point.
The results of iscussion may have been
ridiculous more often than not. But al
ways they represented fhe crystallized
public opinion of the section. We have
nothing now that quite takes Its place.
Editors speak for themselves. Politicians
nave their own interests at heart. The
Hood Of kilograms which poured In on the
president In the last few days was the
opinions Of the individuals who wrote the
messages. But in Linc0ln's day. such tele-
grams would have been the mObilixed
opinions Of the countrywide and the com
n1unities whence they came.
Laughter has destroyed an institution
which, at such = time aSsthis, would be
beyond price.
