Most farmers took hold when
they obtained possession of
their farms.
But the radicals don't know

much about the status of the
American farmer. They don't

If they were to take control
of the farms. what would they
do with them? Imagine a

of districts-will soon be a
month old. But we should not
let it be completely obliterated
from our memories.
1t was in Paterson, n. j. that
one of the bombs exploded on
that fateful Monday night, and
in the same city an abundant
collection of revolutionary
pamphlets has been unearthed.
One of them has been printed
in exceptionally large quanti-
ties, and is addressed to the
workers, farmers, soldiers and
sailors"

miad about the tribulations of

1t is the habit of the high.
brows to berate the lowbi Cws
for their uncouth ideas on the
subject of entertainment. Tire
things which give them pleas
ure ought to give them pain.
So they are told.
They get more fun out OF II
brass band playing popular
music than they could get out
of a Handel festival. They
have no business to. They can
sit happily in a theatre, and
draw pleasure from appeals to
superficial instincts-from SIM
pie stuff without any depth to
it. They ought to know better.
The train of reasoning that
leads to this conclusion indica-
ties a quaint conception of
economics. Why is it unde-
sirable that people should be
easily pleased? Would it be
undesirable for people to be
easily fed?
Under present conditions
there is not enough joy in the
world. Probably there never
will be. There is extremely
little danger of there being too
much. Ii some people are
easy to please, so much the bet
ter. There would be less pleas
ure in the world if they were
hard to please.
But" argue the highbrows.
"a mans mental faculties must
be at their lowest if he enjoys
elementary stuff in a theatre.
"His intelligence must be at its
strength"
Why not? That is just the
proper state for a man to be in |
when he is in a theatre. When
his mentality is fully alert he |
has no business in a theatre at
all. He ought to be at work. |
Our career-our calling-is
the most important thing in our
lives. If it is not, we
have chosen the wrong career,
and we ought to switch at once.
The best moments, the hours
when our faculties are keenest,
ought to be spent in our voca-
ton, whether it be farming or
dentistry. We should not
lake our brains to a theatre
when they are intensely awake.
The long-haired highbrow
who sits at a New Thought
lrama, cOngratulating himself
hat his cerebration is at its
peak, probably has no work to
10 that demands the efforts of
thoroughly alert mind. If he
had, it would require the con-
of his mental ener-
yies.

For this reason he will not
take that attitude until he is
ready for political extinction,
He will not wreck his career
until he has had all the career

Thereafter he will not pre-

would be waste of time.
For many years we have
been arguing whether women
have sense enough to vote. The
argument has at last become so
wearisome at Washington that
it has ended in a victory for the
affirmative. There is some
justification for it. Some wom-
en- have sense.
Some men have, also. Some
men can tell you, without re-
ferring to a book, the food val
ues of the chemical ingredients
contained in most articles of
diet. Also what towns in South
America are the best markets
for certain manufactured pro-
ducts. And several other
things. They are better inform
ed than the average. 1t would
be absurd not to let them vote.
Some women are equally
well informed, and equally
well qualified to vote-more of
them than you might think. II
seems strange that they have
only just acquired a privilege
which has been held promiscu-
ously by DRINKS who did not
know whether Longfellow was
a cocktail or a suit of under
wear.
Many men and women who
have read Longfellow, or fam
iiiariZed themselves with the
commercial situation in South
America are nevertheless abun-
dainty qualified to vote. But
it is a fair guess that they can
al read and write.
Yet there are male and fe-
male voters who can do neith-
er. Women have now obtain

granted it. And there are
many men who ought to be de-

There were fourteen kinds of

but it is so true that experts

The defeat of Judge Hardin,
the democratic nominee for
