SECRETARY HOUSTON AND THE FARMERS
WIVES

One of the chief credits for the federal depart
ment of agriculture now administered is its
interest in farmers wives and the provision it is
making for their wants" Later it will be easier
to meet their needs Such tactics make it
appear that Secretary David F. Houston is a wise
man. Yet he, too. is college professor" and of
the ridicued scholar in politics class. No
doubt it is because he is an educator of experience
that he bethought him of his referendum to find
out just what the women on the farms were think
ing about, what they missed most out of their
isolated lives and what they wanted to appear
first a supplement or corrective of present con-
ditions.
The confidential messages that came flowing
back to Washington after this official inquiry had
begun to do its penetrating work of an illum-
mating kind. The man farmer does not get a
frst-class recommendation for considerateness. 1t
is surprising how many country women think
that the horses and cattle often are rated as of
more value than the human beings that they serve
The farmers wives seldom have money to spend
that they can call their own They want more
economic liberty, fairer division of pleasures, and
an ampler opportunity to be social and to become
sociaized With this knowledge in his possession
the secretary now can plan, not for an abstract
but concrete situation. And he will.

thought Barnes had 1.-The root of righteousness in

Just by way of recalling, it is worth remarking
that it in 1910 that Barnes quarreed with
Roosevelt over the bossng of the Republican state
convention in New York, job which the Colonel
succeeded in Selling In spite of this break in the
intimate political relations of twelve years, the
light held out to burn and the vilest sinner might
have returned if he had had spark of the saving
grace. But then came 1911.
That was the year that Barnes unreservedly
cast his political fortunes with William H Taft
and began preparations to bump the third term.
Barnes might have been saved if he had not COM
mitted this ultimate sin; indeed. not only saved
but translated from boss into a leader, even as
was Bill Finn. But instead, Barnes refused to
hit the sawdust trail and went with the sons of
. Belial who worshipped the Taft mammon of un-
righteousness.
There's the heart of it ALL Barnes was all right
so long as he trailed with Roosevelt; when he
turned aside he became a creature of almost un-
believable political corruption.

Clausen came back all right, but for many days
he held his peace The latter part of last week,
however, he opened up his heart and poured forth
what he learned and this it was that every cent
had been properly spent and properly accounted
for, that the states exhibits were excellent and
that the only point of criticism was the commits

the San Francisco exposition in various buildings,
