Broken Threads at The Davis.

AS in any othor way OF course there y
need for economy, but there is greater
need for efficiency. Efficiency cannot DC
acquired through the medium OF 9arsl-
inony.
An illustration of the tendency oil the
reactionarics to cmbarrass tho admins
tration, at no matter what cost to the
real interests Of the nation, is found IN tho
reports on Mussels Shoals nitrate plant.
Scores of thousands Of farmers want that
industry preserved. because through Ut
they will be able to obtain nitratcs ut q
price immcasurably below what the Chill
can importation costs
But the Graham committee would
apparently rather that the farmers OF the
nation continue to pay foreign nation
from seven to ten millions OF dollars
year in the form OF export duties than
permit them to obtain their fertilizer
from an American plant. II Mussois
Shoals is permitted TO produce the nj
trates necessary for American agriculture,
President Wilson will receive some cred

let the American farmer pay. tribute TO
the Chilean government. This is not an
exaggerated picture Of the game Of peanut
politics played by tho Republican re-
dictionaries.

All farm leaders irrespective Of party
politics arc desirous Of giving MIR. Mere
dith the means by which, other things
being equal, he can make good record.
II appears, however, that the present
Congress, dominated as il is by an ele-
ment, which knows nothing of progress
and Will listen to no suggestion that
promises progress, is determined Mr..
Meredith shall be deprived of these neces-
sary means.
The bureau chiefs of the department
asked for $42, 100000; the Secretary OF
Agriculture reduced that sum to $37,f
900, and the agricultural committee
OF the House further reduced this amount
to $50, 100000 This is s3,5OO,OO0 less
than was appropriated for the last fiscal
year. Now the leaders of this cxtraof-
dlnary Congress are engaged in the task
of pruning the committees estimates,
and it is feared that in this ''orgiy of
economy" they will leave the department
in crippled condition.
If, however, a delegation of farm lead
ers were to call upon the pruners and ask
them TO speak good word for agri-
culture, they would grandioquently tell
them the farmers were the "salt of the
earth, the Alpha and Omega of all that
was grand, the last word in moral OK
cellenco and the court of last appeal IN
manly virtue.
II is admitted on all hands that agri-
culture is declining. That is that fewer
persons arc engaged in the work of raising
food than last year and that the number
so occupied will be farther reduced next
year 1t is admitted that if this condition
of affairs is allowed to continue the nation
in few years viii not be able to grow
enough food for its own consumption.
But reactionary Congress sees a
first-class opportunity To embarrass the
party in power and they would rs soon
do this through the medium Of agriculture
