Temperance deals with the individual.

FREE PORTS
 BUILDERS IF COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
 RELATIONS.
By Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon wreckage of European commerce has drifted to our shores and the world war is making unprecedented de- mands for the products of farm and factory In transportation facilities on land we lead the world but our port facilities are inadequate, and our flag is seldom seen in foreign ports. if our government would only divert the energy we have displayed iD conquer ing the railroads to mastering the commerce of the sea, a foreign bot tom would be unknown on the oceans highways.
 This article will be confined to discussion of our ports for the pro- ducts of the farm must pass over our wharfs before reaching the water We have in this nation 51 ports, of which fl are on the Atlantic and 10 are on the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second Congress appropriated over $51,0O0,- 900 for improving our Rivers and Harbors and private enterprise levies a toll of approximately $50,000,000 annually in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service is rendered. The latter item should be lifted off the backs of the farmer of this na- ton and this can be done by Congress directing it's appropriations to ports that are free where vessels can tie up to a wharf and discharge her cargo free of any fee or charge.
 A free port is progress. It takes out the unnecessary link in the chain of transactions in commerce which has for centuries laid heavy hand upon commerce. No movement is so heavily laden with results or will more widely and equally distribute it's benefits as that of free port and none can be more easily and ef- fectively secured.

The neigh of a horse made Darius King of Persia. the six contending powers for the throne agreeing among themselves that the one whose horse should neigh first should possess the kingdom This ancient method of settling disputes among politicians could be revived with profit today. If our partisan factions and petty poll iticians could only settle their dis putes by the neigh of a horse, the bark of dog or the bray of donkey, 1t would be 9 great blessing and would give our citizens a better opportunity to pursue the vacations of industry free from political strife.
 Let those who pick political plums by raising rows and who flash swords dripping in the blood of industry un- derstand that they cannot turn the public forum into political arena and By @ clash of personal aspirations still the hammer and stop the plow and that their quarrels must be settled in the back alleys Of civilization.

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 CTS of this nation believe that every dollar written into the life of any business organization, should be able to say q know that my Redeemer liveth,'' but farming is the biggest business on earth, and there is more water in it's financial transaction than that of any other industry. There is as much water in a 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- ities in the other
 The promoter ofttimes takes chances and his success is contingent upon the development of the property in-
 
 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 $200,000,000 per annum in usury on real estate and chattel loans, and this interest capitalized at five per cent. represents $4,000,000,- 900 of fictitious values which the farm CT 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 earth's sur face-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 it's waves are dashing and it's pillows are rolling against seven mil lion homes threatening ruin and dis aster to the prosperity of the nation. Will our public servants who under stand how to drain the liquid off in- dustrial properties turn the faucet and let the water off the farms?

TA|NTED 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, platform demand written or mea- sure enacted into law that does not carry the taint 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- tained in the prospectuses of the bold est promoters of chimerical 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 it en- acted" than were ever concealed un- der any and all other disguises.
 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 a political party that seeks to make junk of an ln- dustry or cripple a business for party success. through tariff measures, po- lftical supervision and ofttimes de- structive legislation. Many political platforms are as alluring to the voter as the story of the rainbow with it's pot of gold and their consummatlon about as far-fetehed. Selfgain is the first law in politics. There are many men in office today who, if they could not shake plums off the tree Of American liberty or cut melon taken from Uncle Sams commissary, would have less desire to serve the public.
 The country is surfeiting with patri- ots, who will bare their breast to bull lets in defense of their country, but there are few men in public life who will bare their breast to voters or run the gauntlet of party disfavor in de- ltIlSG OL dSl lCullulS . OA 1AAduSbAy -NN representative of the people, who will permit personal prejudice to dethrone justice, party success to Gisfranchise reason or the rancor of political campaign to influence judgment can render capable service.
 The preservation of our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty in government, and the Amer ican voter should seek these attri- butes as implicitly as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem and they will often be found to rest over the stable; the blow or the staff of the Shepherd. The surest cure for tainted politics and machine rule is fresh air and sunshine and these inn portant elements are most abundant upon the farm, and when farmers, bankers and merchants are elected to membership in legislative bodies, much of the trouble in government will dis appear
