THE TIME EXPIRES

Now, is not that an unfortunate con- dition, thank God. gentlemen. 1t has not come to the south yet, and I hope the time will never be when it will come to our country. thank God that the great and boandless west has, at least, not yet been invaded with that class of immigration. We are not striking down the Irishman and it does not touch one of them It does not touch the Scoteh- man or the Englishman or the French man or the Hollander or any of the Scandinavian people. or the Swiss ur in the midst of Gods snowy mountains. They are not the men whom we are after because our doors are wide open, and when was with the immigration commission at Hamburg I said to some of those great German people, Why do not more of these good people ceEne to our country?' They said. One reason is that we are prospering greatly. An
 other reason is because you are getting too many of those people from along the borders of the Mediterranean end our laboring people will not stand competition with them. We do not want our families raised in such sNfrennd- 'ings and subject to such contam1na- uop.' tApplaussl

Just Conscience

We have just been asked by a
partisan democrat what Attorney
General Grant Fellows really means
when he says.
The Michigan primary law Is only
an advisory one and as far as ! can
see there viii he no crime committed
by anybody voting for whom he
pleas~s- IL "a purely matter for the
conscience OF each delegate and they
can vote to please their own con
sciences.
As matter OF fact the Michigan
presidential primary law is really
very plain. II says In section two:
The nominating ballots az herein
provided for shall be counted, can
vsssed and returned In the same
manner az the names and petitions
OF the asplrant for the party nom! :
nation for the office of governor are
now required TO be marked, nied
counted. canyassed and returned.
section eight. OF tho law, says:
The candidate receiving the high.
est number OF votes in the state at
said election shall he. declared TO be
tho candidate and the choice OF such
political party for this state.
Now oil course, II Is easy for any
person but one who Ia rs blind as
our democrat friend 10 see what Mr..
Fellows means. What be means Is
that there Is no penalty attached to
the primary Law and that man can.
not be sent TO prison for voting for
Senator Smith, instead OF Henry
Ford. even though Ford got the
votes OF the people.
That's what Attorney General Eel.
lows means. It's as plain as mud.

state that he Is not speaking on

republican. The whole thing IL n

Character Is a product II Is not
something born with man and
quite Interchangeable. On the con-
trary, il Is the resultant OF internal
and external influences TO which he
is subjected after birth.
This is a truth which must be full
ly grasped il the great work OF edu-
cation Is to be carried on Alright
Unfortunately, the opposite view II
not without adherents, and draws
support from opinions expressed by
soTe famous philosophers.
Kant. Schopenhauer, and Spencer
are among those who have insisted
on the irnateness and unchaugea5ii-
ity of character. The modern de-
fender OF this doctrine rests IL large
ly on the finding of Cesare LON
broso.
II was Lombroso who gave TO the
world the notion OF the born Grim.
NAL the notion which summed up
concreteiy and persaasiveiy the gen.
eral theory that character IL com
plete in itself and not susce ptibIe Of
being developed or changed
But the Lombrosian doctrine has
been found Incapable OF scientific
demonstration. In fact. the more II
has been investigated the more GER
tain has its falsity become.
II is based on the principle that
the one factor which really counts
in the determining Of character il
heredity. Again and again, however.
literally Ia thousands OF cases, II
has been proved that the influence
OF heredity is quite secondary u
that of training and environment.
Boys and girls with family his
tories of the worst sort have grown
into upright men and women when
taken in hand a. an early age and
given the benefit OF q good training.
Also In many cases IL has been
found that socslled born criminals
have had their characters markedly
changed for the better after medical
OF surgical treatment TO overcome
abnormal physical con6itions-such
a. badly formed jaws snd diseased
teeth.
In brief. evidence has steadily
been mounting TO indicate that what
really counts is not so much the

In Pascafs words, TO be kept In

Every child at the outset Of his
life Is little imprlsive being, push

him.
More than this, the process OF
character making continues through
out life.
A good beginning. In the way OF
careful training and the correcting
OF physical defects, Is OF all things
most important. But the influence
of the environment and Of internal
physical conditions Is of some form

For this reason a nan can NJ no

First Aid to the Farmer.

First aid to the farmers the aim OF a new
organization that has already found lot OF
work TO do. This relief corps is the Natiora

quarters AT Madison. Wis.

ailments.
That remedy Is cooperation-not the fake Co
operation so often preached nowadays. but
simonpure cooperation. without the hyphen
Does the farmer need the aid
Last winter the leaders OF American agricu
ture got together in Chicago and diagnosed his
ailments.
They showed up pitiable conditions among the
growers of perishable products.
They explained how the cheese and live
stock producers are at the mercy Of the packers.
and then somebody brought forward proof that
there Is a great food trust in process OF organ
zation which will put botn producers and con
sumers at its feet.
II is the usual cry of Wolf" but this time the
farmers were aroused. and this time they die
something that looks mighty Ike getting their
pitchforks ready for battle.
They formed their first aid-to-the-farmer az
fair.
They took for their model the world-famous
Irish Agricultural Organization Society, which
has been doing this sort OF thing for over -
years.
That society has blazed trail now followed
by similar ORGANIZATIONS in England. Scotland,
Finland and British South Africa.
The ~. A. o. s. will undertake TO form the
farmers of America into a gigantic defensive al
lance: but IL will give them direct service in
matters that affect the sale Of farm products.
purchase OF farm supplies. auditing OF farmers
societies legal points and legislative questions.
With such men as Frank l.. Mcvey. Clifford
Pinchos. Charles Mccarthy and their confreres
behind it. the n. A o. 8 may do great deal
of good.

recently In the milk strike at Chicago. Cleveland
