TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED, PROVE
THINGS FOR YOURSELF

written Specially for The Bulletin.)
It's rather common for farmers as
well as other folks to take things for
granted"
There's big difference between
taking things for granted" and TAX
ing them as mere possibilities OF as
likely probabilities. There's differ
ence between taking things for
granted" and accepting them as facts
after they been proved.
To take a thing for granted" i'm
plies that we admit it without re-
quiring proof, merely on somebody's
Say-So or on our own self-evolVed
opinion of its likelihood.
For illustration of what mean
One man takes it for granted" that
the coming summer is going to be a
assumption is that last season was
over-wet and he doesn't think there
can be two seasons in succession of
the same sort. CAS- if the Egyptians
didn't have seven famine years all in
a bunch one directly after the otherO
On the other side, most of us read
lily assume that the sun will rise to-
morrow. Why? Well, the known laws
of gravitation and of the earth's rev.
.olution make it practically certain
that, unless there is an absolute re-
Versa1 of natural law, the sun must
rise tomorrow. Furthermore, the un-
broken record of the suns behavior
for several thousand years proves that
1t has never broken its getting-up en-
gagements vet. Which is another rea-
son for believing that it won't begin
tomorrow. That is, the thing which
one man takes for granted" about
the coming seasons weather is based
solely on a mere theory OF his own
without any preponderating evidence
either for OF against it; while the
thing which we all assume as certain
about tomorrow's sunrise is based on
our confidence in universal natural
laws which have shown themselves
irnmutabIe and unvarying for thou
sands of years to human knowledge,
and for millions of years, according to
the best attainable evidence.
Sometimes think that farmers,
even more than most other people, are
apt to jump at conclusions without
first making sure the conclusion is
something solid and not q mere fog
bank of personal guesswork. That
we are apt to take irresponsible say
sos as commandments of farming.
That we are given to accepting cur
rent practice as mandatory, without
first finding out each for himself, the
why and the wherefore of it.
don't assert blank that we
are more given that way than other
men. I simply say that I sometimes
suspect it. Whether my suspicion is
Well-founded or is a mistake matters
very little. What matters very much
is the real fact in the case. For,
whether the habit be general or only
sporadic. it is bad medicine" and fol-
lowing it is bad business.

mentary to Mr.. Clark. 1t is about his
name that speculation plays whenever
the suggestion is made that the democ-
raey would be stronger in the coming
campaign under a new leader. This
does not grow out of any doubt of his
loyalty to the President, for none is
expressed 1t proceeds from an ap-
praisemcut of the man, and from his
wide personal popularity. He was so
strong before the Baltimore convention
was held his friends were in tho ma
jority there; and his carriage since has
increased popular regard. His democ-
racy is unquestioned, and he is prob
ably his party's best all-around poll
tician.
But, strong as he is, Mr.. Clark would
be heavily weighted with a nomination
carrying with it the reputation by the
party Of Mr.. Wilson's leadership. His
own leadership would be confession
of the failure of the Wilson leadership,
and that confession would include the
party. The country would believe the
party had failed, and it would turn to
the republican party for remedy. 1t
may turn anyhow, even with Mr.. Will
son again the candidate.

and we be attacked in our helplessness
by some strong power, the loss, while
heavy and humiliating, would be only
temporary The experience would rouse
the country as it had never been
reused before. We could not be
crushed, and should rise at any cost to
the emergency. Even the pacificists
would then, though late, see light, and
join in the movement for retaking by
force our place among the nations.
Mr.. Films tomtom is much too loud,
and, moreover, is without excuse. That
the situation is most serious and should
be dealt with in full recognition of its
character need not be denied. But our
institutions are not trembling in the
balance. The foundations are all right,
and changes in the superstructure, made
necessary by the growth of the country
and the turmoil of the world, can be
made without peril to our governmental
existence.
Whatever befalls, it would be great
mistake to pitch the coming campaign
in the key of hysteria. Politicians and
parties are just as necessary now as
ever. There will continue to be occu-
patton for all our Othellos, Mr.. Finn
included; and those who win next No
vember will have to steer a course by
a party chart, and with a party crew.
