PATRoNIzE HOME INDUSTRY

(Remarks Of Gov. Ferguson of Texas)
remember that upon one occasion
that certain Farmers Union lectur-
err was telling the farmers of Texas
of the mistake they were making. He
said: "The great mistake with the
Texas farmer is that he doesn't live
at home; he depends on selling cotton
too much. You are continually buy
ing something, and you don't ever
sell anything. To illustrate. what ]
mean, need but call your attention
to the fact that when you awake in
the morning, it is to the alarm Of a
Connecticut clock. You get up and
button on Chicago suspenders to your
Detroit overalls. You go out and
wash your face with Cincinnati soap
in an Indianapolis wash basin. You
sit down to your breakfast and eat
Chicago meat. And your bread is
made Of Tennessee flour, cooked on a
st. Louis stove. You go out and put
New York bride on Kentucky
mule, fed on Iowa corn, and pillow
your farm all day, which is covered
with Massachusetts mortgage. And
at night when you get home, you read
a bible printed in Boston, and you say
a prayer that was written in Jeru-
salem. And you crawl under blank
ct manufactured in New Jersey, to be
kept awake all night by damned dog
the only home product you have on
the farm"

throat, Cousin Josie was saying she simply must tell me about the funny thing that happened at the last social the club had hack home. Of course she. explained, l did not know Mrs. Gibbs and nobody unacauainted with Mrs. Gibbs could really appreciate the
 story, but it was so funny that maybe could get a laugh out of it just by using my imagination
 T was gfinming by this time, getting
 ready for the grand ha-ha. Cousin Josie said that if any one but the Haryesses had been connected with the joke it wouldn't have been half so amusing, and even though did not know the Harvesses, I being a lawyer could appreciate the point.
 Wasn't it odd that Mir. Harvess also was lawyer? Quite a coincidence
 and, speaking of coincidences. Mfr.
 Harvess' sister and her sister were
 both married on the same day and to brothers at that. Had I ever heard anything like it. The sister in-law's husband was now serving a sentence ] in Lesvenworth-had 1 heard of hin 2
 My set grin by this time was get ting petrtaed and I could see no inn
 mediate use for it. It is confusing te
 produce a gxin and find no place to put it. So when Cousin Josie went on to say that the PhiIlipses who lived
 next her and had planted a half acre of bantam corn, but the Joneses went in for chickens, I just up and fed quietly, and she had just as good a
 time as though I had been there. You are perfectly dreadful" re- proved his wife. Cousin Josie wasn't half as bad as you make out. A man just hates having one talk but him
 self. Cousin Josie is an awfully nice woman and"
 Finest evers agreed Henry. T think she would be simply splendid as
 an insomnia cure. One could sort of
 dream on and be soothed by the Iie- notonaus flow of languag age-enly l
 wasn't having insomnia. She is d
 sterling woman, but somebody ought
 to patent her and put her in Enahog any case and sell her for the latest
 talking machine"
 Henry Dilfweather!s ~cried his ex-
 asperated wife. That will do. You
 needn't insult my relatives any fur ther."
 "oh, I like Cousin Josie, apelegized Henry. But I hate to think of her
 wrecked life when she finds she has
 used up all the words in the language and there aru't going to be any more!"

LAW IN KENTUCKY.

The governor of Kentucky cannot fail to be gratified at the cnmmenda- ton he is receiving from all sections of the country over the courageous stand that he took in upholding the law and honor of the state by pre- venting the lynehing that the mob had certainly intended to carry out.
 There was no question what his duty was under the circumstances and he didn't hesitate in reaching his decision, or in taking the needed steps to see that it was enforced. Were there more governors who viewed lynehing in the same light, they should be by the right minded there would be fewer efforts in behalf of and much less success in carrying out mob rule.
 There was no excuse whatever for the men of Lexington to attempt to override the ,aw They knew that the speedy trias was being carried out. They had every reason to ex- pect capital punishment as the penal ty for the crime and there was no more justification for attempting to take matters into their own hands in that case than there is in the most of the instances where lynching is re- sorted to.
 Kentucky has found out that it has sufficient law with which to dear with just such criminals, and at the same time it, as well as the remainder of the states, has found out that it has a governor who is determined that law and order shall be respected Thus the commonwealth has great reason to be proud over the light in which it has been placed by it's chief executive. Governor Morrow has shown that he possesses the stuff that should enter into the makeua of a states head His defiance of law lessness is impressive and when it is properly developed in the systems of authorities vested with the en- foreement of law in other states then the deplorable 1ynching conditions made possible through the attitude of the weak kneed will be overcome.

TIE PEOPLE PAY.

While the general public may not be fully informed as to the merits of the dispute between the branch ot the .railread workers that has fixed a day to strike and the railroad ad- ministration. or between the larger body of railroad men and the admin istration. it is nevertheless consider abIy interested, for it is perfectly evident that it is a matter which in- directly concerns them.
 IL has been clearly demonstrated that when increases in pay are Eranted to the employees of the rail- road that it means an increase in the rates charged by the roads. That means that the higher trans portation charges are taken in vari- ous ways cut of the pocket of the consumer through higher prices for this, that and the other thing. AL ready the government is deeply in the hole because of the manner in which the roads have been operated under federal control. That hole must be filed from the pockets of the consumer one way or another, and after the roads go back to their owners it is to be expected that the reads will have to get higher rates in order to prevent a similar deficit in the future. If the employees get another raise in addition to the in creaSes they have received in the past few years it will still further increase the burden that must be shouldered by the public.
 The case is one->that deesn't ap- pear to be so very different from that of the coal miners. There is not the disposition to settle the differences on the basis of fact but a determina- ton that 1t is going to be forced be- fore the government lets go of the reads and regardless of what it means te the people of the country to be denied such eurtailnent of trans pertatien facilities as they can fierce. to which will have to be added the burden of such wags increase as they can exact.

cUrTfNe ERE LOSSES

New and then there are eneourag- ing bits of evidence to the effect that fire losses are decreasing. Fer some reason there appear to be periods when there are much larger losses than in others, the same as there ap- pear to be crime waves sweeping over ceuntry, but the past year was one ia which mere favorable conditions were shown.
 According to figures that have been given out there was a decrease of s44eea.e $50 in the losses by fire dur ing the first eleven months of 1918 frem the lesses during a similar pe- rtod of 1918. Such improvement is always welcome but 1918 was a year in which the losses were much larger than in 1917. Both 1911 and 1918 were war years during which time industry vas being pushed to the limit and when the chances for large frss were better than during norma times. Of the two 1917 escaped more leutently, with the last war veal numbering among it's losses some large fires which could be attributed 10 the abnormal hazard. The past year passed without any confiagra- ttpns te swell it's total and while il showed decrease 1t is plainly evi- dent that ther9 is still opportunity for reducing the losses much more through the exercise of care and the Rdoption of preventive measures.

POSTAL SERVICE,

After having experienced a mail service that has been growing stead fly worse, the merchants of New York through their association has asked for a congressional investiga- : ton through Senator Townsend. chairman of the committee on post offices and pestroads. As reasons for such an investigation attention is called to the reductions in the rail- way postofiee service, the coneentra- ton of mails upon railway trains in the smallest possible space. the as- sortment of mails in terminals in stead of during transit, the elifnina- tian of the pneumatic tubes and the substitution of autos fer the local transportation of the mail. In this connection it is interesting to note that the association in acknowledg- ment of the reduced cost of the ser vice recognizes that it has been ac. complished "only by a widespread and serious impairment of the eff cfency of the service.'
 This appeal comes at a time when the boasted profit of S5,00e. GOO for the postoffice department during the past seven years promises to be off set by an award twice as large to the railroads for service for which they have not been properly paid during that time, and when an ap- propriation is being sought for the construction of an underground way between the two big railway tern1i- nals and the postoffiee in New York city.
 NSt so long ago when Postma ster General Burleson succeeded in kill ing the pneumatic tube service it was maintained that the mails could be handled much more expeditieusly by trucks. Experience has shown that it has resulted III the very conges- ton and dissatisfaction that was predicted, and it is only reasonable that the tube service wherever it i'm proves the efficiency of the postal service should be employed. New York makes it evident that it doesn't ! think as mdch of the Dostofice de-
 partment's work as the head of ,t does.
