tent Of the farmers vocation is by no
means small one. Yet the laborer,
the merchant, the banker, and the
professional men, in proportion to the
size and Importance of his business,
has more organization and much
stronger leadership.
"Why is it so? From the very ma
ture of his work the farmer is less
subjected to political, economic and
other forms of unrest than are people
engaged in other occupations. He
probably is the last person to be af-
fected by unsettled conditions.
"In the course Of the year the
farmer is called upon to do variety
of work. He must clear the field,
plow the soil, prepare the seed bed,
sow or plant, cultivate, harvest, and
market the crops. He must breed and
provide feed and housing for his live
stock. He must milk the cows, and
transport milk and cream to the fac
tory or creamery. His work is con-
stantly changing with each of the sea-
sons. In that way his work is all
absorbing and it becomes as interest
ing to him as he succeeds in any par
ticular phase of it.
"There is a great need of rural
leadership in these times when the
complexities in life are so many and
the competition in activities so keen.
When it is known that members of
all other activities in life are allying
themselves for mutual benefit, the
farmer, too, in like manner, should
give more thought and attention TO
things that either directly or Indirect
ly affect him or his work.

Miss Almeda Fuller, republican
candidate. for superintendent of
schools, was a visitor in Monmouth
Monday shaking hands with old
friends, and making new ones. Miss
Fuller is talented and energeic and
would make an efficient and capable
superintendent. She was much in
terested in the industrial work of the
children Of the county and assisted in
the work at Dallas and Salem and her
services in this way received public
acknowledgement by the present su.

teri will go toward the expense IN
volyed in sending the raw cotton 10
England and the cloth or clothes Dack'
including freight both ways, with u
profit added to the cost of service; the
Englishman profit on the manufac-
ture besides profit to an exporter
and importer at each end. And we
have Just arrived with the goods rlghI
where A manufacturer here, il prpo-
erly protected by tariff, would be
doing business. Besides, the payroll
would be in America instead OF Eng
land. :.
If is lust as absurd for us to ship
the raw cotton to England as it would
be to ship our sawlogs there and then
buy the lumber back.
Is it any wonder that England had
four billion dollars worth OF our Sc
curities to dump here when the war
broke out? AT this point, Mr.. Miller
took occasion to explain that the fed
eral reserve law saved the country,
what otherwise would have been, the
worst panic in its history.
The skill displayed by Mr.. Miller
in keeping the truth of these mat
tiers submerged, is conclusive proof
TO the average mind that he knew
where the truth lay. If the position
of the democratic party before the
people, seeking reelection, is not des-
perate, | see no reason for suppress
inc the fact that in 1908 the repubh-
can party passed the Aldrieh-Vree-
land law which was in effect when the
war broke out and was the only az
thority by which the secretary OF the
treasury could place money with
banks throughout the country for
emergency purposes. This law was
the real savior of the country from
the awful panic pictured by My. MN
Ter and was not passed by the demo
Gratis, but in spite Of them.
In this connection I think it peril
nent to remind the voters who listen
ed to this sauve,. foXey, Mr.. Miller,
skilled to the highest degree in sup
pressing the blunders of Mr.. Wilson
and the democratic party; is asking
us to support type OF mind that.
cherishes rule of ruin. A type of
mind that brought on the civil war A
type of mind that, by virtue of the
right Of free speech, was responsible
for the murder of three presidents. A
type of mind that can lead the demo-
cratic majority in the United States
senate and defend in court, at the
same time, that gang of murderers
headed by the Mcnamara brothers
who dynamited the Los Angeles Times
building, killing 10 men and women,
and confessed it. A type of mind i'm
perviOus to duty. Justice, and reason
yields readily to force and blends with
anarchy. A type of mind that sur
renders the principle of arbitration
for political expediency.
War is by no means the issue be-
fore the mothers and fathers of this
country today. 1t is whether or not
we purpose to further abandon states
in the councils of this nation
or proceed as we have during the past
few years, toward revolution and de-
cay. f.. E. ELLSWORTH.

LEADERSHIP is NEEDED.

It has often been said that there Is
n apparent lack of leadership among
rural population, that farmers do
always take interest in things
are of political and economic inn
nee to their communities and to
elves" writes a well-known ag-
urist, in a leading journal.

One of the pleasing features of the
present campaign is the increasing
popularity of the republican candi-
date, Fred J. Holman. for county
clerk. Fred, as he is familiarly known
over the entire county. for he is Il
native of this county and has spent
all of his life among Folks people
has served in the capacity of comfy
treasurer for the past two years and
has made a most painstaking and eff
ficient official His hundreds of friends
are working hard for him because
they feel he is fitted to discharge the
duties of the office and his election
seems assured. Polk county will an.
doubtedly give him a majority at the
November election that viii carry him
into Office.

Although Mr.. Ford announces he
will support President Wilson, he
says that he will not contribute a
dollar to help elect him. Willing to
waste his vote, but not his money, it
would appear.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1916-10-10

BY the way, if you are looking for
the cheaper living that was promised
by the democrats four years ago, you
will find it in the same pigeon hole
in which President Wilson stored his
promise to be a candidate for one
term only.

The success of the railroad men in
getting from President Wilson just
what they demanded has evidently
encouraged other classes of work
men to try the same scheme. If
a strike is all that is necessary To
make this big government come
across, then strikes will soon be a,
fashionable as high water dresses.

"Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Mckinley and

a back to nature man He was
large. wore. long hair and flowing
beard. Clinging to him was what
perhaps at one time had been an IN

Effect of Tobacco

DR. J. w. NJ. Kitchen, OF East
Orange. n. j., discussed in the New
York Medical Record the question
"Is Tobacco Stimulant or a Mar.
cotic?" He arrives at the conclu.
sion that the general effect consti.
tutionally OF tobacco is mostly de-
pressant He doubts If constitu.
tionally tobacco Is as irritating as
alcohol, though the local irritating
effects OF tobacco are plainly OBJ
servable. and says In conclusions
"The delightful sensations of a SUI
pervening narcosis are more or less
realized by the tobacco habitue as
we'll as by the consumer os alcohol.
opium or other narcotics, or by the
diner who enters upon his after
dinner nap under the somniferous
influence OF heavy dinner. There
Is good deal to say against the
tobacco habit. for aesthetic. social
and economic as well as for other
reasons. although II is quite pos.
sible that In certain cases, the hab-
itual indulgence In narcotization
may prolong life through hiding
from the consumer the intensity OF
some of the ills OF existence: but
there can be no question that for
most individuals, the sum total of
life's activities and probably the ex-
tension OF life is shortened indi-
rectly through the weakening effect
OF the habit"

The Value of Speech

We all know how to think and most
OF us know how to reason. nevertheless
We study logic. because logic Is a science
that teaches us how to think and reason
properly. We all know how to speak
yet the study OF public speaking II
necessary In order that We may stand
before an audience. no mater how large
or how small. and retain our self-posses-
sion and speak properly.
Clear e speech. correct speech IL an
absolute necessity to every aspirant for
honors in the dramatic world. David
Bclasco stated recently that Shakespear-
ian productions could be successful II
the lines were beautifully spoken. and
IL certainly Ia an insult to intelligence To
permit players to appea on the stages
of our theatres who cannot win and
control attention by the magnetism OF
the speaking voice,
Mr.. Relasco In THE SuN Of July %
says:
The men and women who are to play
should be trained to read so as to give
the proper cadence and mean!ng 10 the
lines"
Therefore IL may at once be taken as
an axiom that correct speech Is the first
essential TO dramatic success. As l
stated in an article on Natural Inter-
pretation' contributed to the New YORK
Dramatic Mirror. the exquisite English
and perfect diction Of Sir Johnston
Forbes-Robertson will endure in the
memories Of all who saw and heard him
az long AS life lasts"
In summing w the subject OF speech
as an Asset In Life IL would be we'll to
consider to what extent speech may be
regarded AZ an index to character. We
have proved that hrst impressions are
largely governed by speech.
Clear. incisive statements. brief but

ness. lack Of determination and n gem

part Of the speaker. There may be odd
cases where the talented speaker has
used the gift OF speech to cloak certain
vices. hu. as a general rule the good.
clear speaker has a character as clear
ss his speech. and IL IL safe to assert
that the power Of ready speech IL In.
