THE MOTHER OF TO-DAY.
She Resembles Her Children Much
More Than Her Mother.

(W. L. George, in Harper's Magazine)
The mother of today, the formed
woman of about 35, has made a great
leap and resembles her children much
more than she does her mother. Her
offspring do not say, What is home
without a mother? Peace, perfect
peace" She is little too conspicuous,
perhaps; she has turned her back
rather rudely upon her mothers pur-
suits, such as tea and scandal, and has
taken too virulently to lectures on
evolution and proteid. She Is too vivid,
like a. newly painted railing, but, like
the railing. she VIII tone down. She
pretends to be very socialistic or very
fast; on the whole, she affects rather
the fast style. We must not complain.
Is not brown paint in the dining room
worse than pink paint on the face?

Farm Hands Better or Than Train
Crews.

The railroads are appealing to the
farmer to the effect that What
would the farmer think of his hands
who wanted an eight hour day at ten
hours pay?"
The farmer knows that farm wages
have increased in recent years and
the farmer also knows that the great
bulk Of his produce is consumed by
the wage-earner in cities large and
small. Farmers also know that their
prosperity is dependent upon the con-
sumption Of their product by the la
boring class and not by the Wall
Street crowd.
The farm hand of today gets three
times as much pay as did his brother
who was yoked up with the OK. The
farm hand has had his pay raised
from two hundred to five hundred per
cent. in the past fifteen years and any
real farmer can settle the pay ques-
ton for himself If he Will remember
when he could get a good hand for
$1,000 month and found" The
fact of the matter is that the farm
hand has progressed to a much great
er extent than the majority of rail-
road men think. Money wages to'pot
always tell the story of what a man
earns. The farm worker is better off
with his lower pay and found" than
the city worker with higher wage
but who must buy everything.
The railroads show the high wages
paid their men. Let the farmer un-
derstand that the high paid man is
not to profit by this proposed move
ment for a shorter work day. He has
it now. 1t is the low-paid man, who
is the typical man who will profit once
the roads make better time with their
drag freights than they do now. A
fair estimate is that not more than
one-third of the four hundred thou
sand train service employees will re-
ceive a cent above what they now
earn IL the shorter work day is adopt

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

When William Allen White writes of
little town he writes with sympathy.
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
He lived in one and loved it. and put on
the map when in his own Country
newspaper" he printed the editorial
What's the Matter With Kansas? He
is one of those happily constituted writ
ing mortals who in a single coup
d'OeiP' commanded a sweep of the
horizon, and commanded it accurately:
and his resultant comment is more
nearly American than any thing we get
in the way of literature from our
poetasters and diiettani who, before the
war broke, spent most Of their time in
deck-chair or a ruined abbey or a cafe
chantant
To this open-eyed and tender hearted
Kansas editor the newspaper of a
country town is a voice and confidence
of voices. He hears it speaking in
language known of the man in the
street, the clerk at the counter, the
hired man in the bayfield, or the furrow
and the girl who sweeps and dusts with
towel round her head and is singing at
her work. Provincial" these papers
ore, because they practice the fine art
of specialization in the range of in
terests in their own community, among
the persons everybody knows The
urban editor with his starched collar
and his chin in air is only trying to do
the same thing on a grander scale,
more noisily. The little paper true to
the life of its own town fits its con-
situency, gauges the popular taste and
is truthful, or it is Immediately penaliz-
ed.
The home town paper deserves and
is justly entitled to the united support
of every loyal citizen.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-06-08

A true defensive tariff would Weld
sufficient revenue to pay all the cost of
military, naval and industrial prepared
ness without imposing upon the people.
1t would stimulate industry during
peace and shield it during war.
If the Democratic party is in favor
of national defense, it should be in
favor of tariff defense. If it desires
peace with all nations now and after
the European war, it should favor a
tariff that will encourage, develop and
protect American industry. That IN
dustry can be encouraged to produce all
the military and naval equipment re-
quired to make the United States i'm
pregnable and keep it amply supplied
during any war that may come.
The American market belongs to the
people of the United States. 1t is the
richest market in the world. 1t should
be used as means of raising all the
revenues needed for the government
and the defense of the nation. The
same process employed to raise revenue
would encourage, defend and protect
home industry, thus doubly insurlng the
country against outside dangers.
No goods produced by a foreign
nation should be permitted to enter the
American market in competition with
home goods without paying tribute to
the Treasury and to national security.
After the war the American market
will be flooded with cheap goods unless
Congress erects a defensive barrier to
protect American labor and industry.
1t would be folly to permit foreign
nations to build up their shattered for
tunes at our expense while we failed to
collect enough from them to build up
the national defenses.
