GLOVER GL.EssANINGS

The address by DR.. Ozora S. Davis
was listened to by large and
interested audience. He dealt largely
with thoughts suggested by the Euro
pean war, saying that it was a contest
of the principles under which the war
ring nations have been trained for
generations. The question America is
to answer is whether she will stand
for strength of military character to
crush to the death any foe that may
assaiI her. or whether she shall be
strong in greater sense and conquer
her foes by helping them to a better
life, use her strength for the uplift of
humanity the world over. 1t is natur-
al to speak Of" our town, ''"our state"
"our country" "our people," but be-
fore enmities that cause wars can cease
we must learn to say "our world" our
brother man of every nationality. At
a recent meeting of 100 students in the
work DIR. Davis is doing there were %
languages represented. Germans sat
by Englishman intent on the same
lessons of good to all humanity. In
such surroundings DR.. Davis has a
view in miniature of what he hopefully
prophesies may one day be true the
world over.

THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by his host at a dinner party to enter tain the guests by playing the lute, he replied that he could not play the fiddle. but that he could make a small town a great city. We have in this nation many politicians who are good "fiddlers, but they cannot make a small town a great city. We are over run with orators who can play upon the passions Of the people. but they cant put brick and mortar together We need builders
 Let those who hunger and thirst for bower understand that the highest glory of a statesman is to construct. and that 1t is better for a man that he should build "a public highway than that he should become Governor of a state. and that he start a blow than that he. become the author of a law The true test of statesmanship is the blow and the hammer, 80 let those who would govern. first build.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
 AGRICULTURE
By Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market problem and the highest development of agriculture will not be attained Is as necessary for the producer as land on which to grow his crop.
 Governmental and educational insti- tutions have spent $1S0.000,000 in the United States during the past ten years for improving soil production and improving seeds and plants, but very little attention and less money has been given to the marketing side of agriculture.
 The problem Is a monumental one and one which will never be solved until it gets within the grasp of a gigantic organization where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom of the age upon it. It is problem which the farmers. merchants bankers. editors and statesmen must unite in solving
 The Farmers Union stands for all there is in farming from the most scientific methods Of seed selection 10 the most systematic and profitable plans of marketing, but does not be- lieve in promoting one to the neglect of the other. We consider the work of farm demonstrators valuable and We ask that governmental and com. mercial agencies seeking to help us. continue to give us their assistance and advice but we believe that their influence should be extended to the marketing side of our farm problems also.
 We cannot hope to develop manu. featuring by oyer-production of the factory, We cannot build up mercan. tile enterprises by the merchants load. ing their shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agricul, ture by glutting the market with surplus of products.

FREE PORTS BUILDERS IF
 COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM PREFERENCE IN ApPRo.
 PRiATIOkS.
By Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon an era of marine development The 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 in conquer ing the railroads to mastering the commerce of the sea, a foreign bot. tom would be unknown on the ocean s highways
 This article will be confined to a 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 Il are on the Atlantic and 10 are on the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second Congress appropriated over S51 ,000,- 900 for improving our Rivers and Iiarbors and private enterprise levies a toll of approximately $50.00O GOO 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 its 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 a free port and none can be more easily and eff fectively secured

DARIUS

The neigh of 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 pol. iticians could only settle their dis Dutes by the neigh of a horse, the bark of a dog or the bray of donkey. 1t would be a great blessing and would give our citizens better opportunity to pursue the vacations of industry rec from political strife.
 Let those who pick political plums by raising rows and who flash swords tripping in the blood of industry un. derstand that they cannot turn the public forum into political arena and " & clash of personal aspirations still the e~hsmmer and Sstop, the blow md that their quarrels must be settled n the back alleys of civilization.

ROAD LAW IS UNJUST

A viciously unjusts law is that which compells young men who oftentimesido not own a foot of land ora horse and do not direc- tiy:reed the roads, to build al d keep up the county roads. while men who own thousands of acres ,or have boughti:landsalong these rosGs,on spetulation.eand never do q stroke:lof worK l.on them, will get the fruit of this compul- :sory iaborlof these poor young men. Also big..farm ers.and mer- chants who haul heavy loads owe r these roads, some every day. but but have,passed the age limit, need not do a lick of work or these roads.

WHY SHOULD
 WOMEN VOTE?
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE F7OM THE VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
 FARMERS.

Why should women vote? That Is the question that is ringing from ocean to ocean and reverberating from the Canadian boundary to the Mexi- eau border. It is the mission of newspaper to give the news and the action of the Texas Farmers Union in opposing womans suffrage when that question was recently before the Texas legislature is significant as representing the attitude of the or ganized plowmen. We reproduce in part the argument presented by Hon. w. D. Lewis, president of the Texas Farmers Union in opposing the bill:
 Tt is gratifying to note that 1t is not the farmers wife who is clamoring for the ballot. She is too busy trying to make happier homes. mold ing the minds of future citizens and sharing with her husband the cares of life to indulge i'll political gossip. The ballot will give her no relief from drudgery, give no assistance in cloth ing the children or bring to the home additional comforts. conveniences or opportunities in life It is, as a rule, the city woman promoted to idleness by prosperity. who is leading the suf, fragette movement
 From many standpoints, perhaps a woman has as much right to vote as man So has she as much right to blow as man, she has as much right to work in factory as man she has as much right to shoulder a musket as a man, but we would rather she would not do so from choice and we regret that necessity ofttimes compels her to earn a living by en- gazing in gainful occupations. We do not consider misfortune a qualifica- tion for suffrage or a business acci- dent reason for granting franchise We are opposed to woman at the ballot box the same as We are op- posed to woman in the field, in the factory or in the army and for the self-same reasons We had rather see her plant flowers than SOW wheat; gather bouquets than pick cotton and rear children than raise political is sues, although she may have as much right to do one as the other.
