CHICKENS COME HOME TO

Natural causes bring effects. Cut the revenues of the city or state or nation, and you reduce the efficiency of its institutions unless you are able to provide revenues to replace those cut out, which you are seldom able to do because all the avenues of rev enue are generally if not always well covered.
 Congressman Hobson of Alabama is the prohibition leader in Congress. His influence has been sufficient to place Alabama in the prohibition ranks, and the result has been disns~ trous to Alabama School efficiency, flrefghting efficiency, public improve ments and charities. health depart ment efficiency and other municipal and state efficiency have been greatly reduced by the lack of revenues re sulting from prohibition and Ala bama's inability to make up the loss es. Yesterday Alabama refused by an overwhelming majority to allow Hobson to represent it in Congress again--the reward of the spoiler who is ever ready to spoil something with out offering in return anything which may compensate, except a theory of his. Hobson and his work was the cause of Alabama's injuries. and Ala bama is denouncing and repudiating him now
 Hobson never got very far with his theories in Congress. He introduced resolutions and talked wildly and away from the facts, but Congress kept him down where he belonged. He wasn't much in Congress-he was devil in his own home town" and now his own home town repudiates him. just as Our Own Home Town will repudiate all and sundry all men who conspire with success to bring chaos here and ruin the camp. If there was anything worth while Nationally or locally in prohibition, it would have hold ana strnegth in Congress, which it has not and cannot have. More than one-third of the revenues of the entire United States come from tax ing the liquor industry, and the pro portion extends to the states and the cities. There are great financiers in Congress, and great financiers back of many of the congressman. If it were possible to figure out satisfactory revenue-raiser to cover the invariable losses of prohibition, we may take it for granted that such a system would have figured out and presented to Congress The best they have arriv- ed at to date is that the income tax shall be doubled and the exemption cut to s1,000, but this gained little or no support. The poor man would be for that, but the rich man objects. The rich man has 10 desire to see liquor sold, but he does refuse to bear all the cost of depriving a world of AAd-t oi opHAtOuo DCfSiA6Coy oS AC doesn't care so much whether the world drinks er not. ~.
 As in Hobson's case. so will it be in the case of every man who in Fair banks or any other town works at a revenue reducing proposition until it carries-such man will be rewarded

THE MAN .oF THE HOUR.

The State Journal will stay with
and accepts the presidential nominal
ton of only one of the conventions
now meeting in Chicago.
This is an Independent newspaper.
We Republicans and others can ut
ter our most emphatic and effective
protest only through Theodore Roose-
welt, as standard bearer and presi-
dent, against the loss of American
lives and property, and the loss of our
honor and respect and high standing
among the nations of Europe and the
world, which has been brought about
by the weak and wabbling words, pol
icies and actions of our well-meaning
but unfortunate and wavering presi-
dent, woodrow Wilson.
If the Progressive party alone
dominates Roosevelt it will become
the American party of patriotism and
preparedness.
1t will become the party for the
protection of our people and indus
tries.
And it will draw to it men and
women from all parties to assert
American manhood and womanhood;
to restore our lost self-respect at
home; to revivify confidence in our
government at home and abroad; and
to save us from the domestic turmoil
now threatened and the dangerous sit
uations into which President Wilson
has unwillingly plunged us with Mex
leo and Germany.
We need a man of experienced
craftsmanship and tried diplomacy; a
man known and respected at home
and abroad among all the great world
powers who know him as the man
who kept us at peace and made peace
between Russia and Japan.

America and Europe. for Asia and

barely ready for active work in the
world. The reason there are no more
conveniences in the average rural
home is that these conveniences have
not been thought of. Farmers have
regarded them as exclusively for city
people. So, too, have most architects
and builders. Now. however, steps
are being taken to show the adapta-
bility of these conveniences to the
farm home. In this Kansas is taking
a leading part through W. A. Etherton,
professor of rural architecture in the
Agricultural college. Professor Ether
ton has addressed himself to the prob
lem of making the farm buildings best
adapted to their purpose and most
convenient for the farmer and his
family. His practical plans will oc-
cupy an important place in the de-
velopment of permanent rural COM
munitieS.
