The Russians are getting enough
OF the benevolent regime of Lenine
and Trotzky. and have organized a
revolution that apparently is max
ing considerable headway. The
despotism Of the Cars government
was paternal indulgence compared
with the despotism of the Soviet
government. And yet there are
people right here that uphold such
rottenness and preach revolution
against the one government in the
world today, that holds out any
hope of freedom, safety and we'll

perfect, nor will there ever be a
perfect one as long as human beings
inhabit the earth, for no two men
see through the same eyes, but the
one that provides the freedom for
men to choose their work, their
homes, and their religion, is the
nearest of any we know anything

Reverse the Sympathy.

There Is q great deal of sympathy
being wasted on the poor farmer at
the present time. Newspaper men.
statesmen and congressman are all
striving to have laws passed that
will, in some way or other, be ben.
eticial TO the farmer. This is all
very good. The farmer should
always be shown consideration by
our law makers and editorial
writers. But when it comes down
to sympathiziug with him it would
be better # nine-tenths OF these
sympathetic persons directed their
sympathy towards themselves.
II is true that the farmer has TO
work hard and that all his under
takings are not n success, but
where is the man that succeeds in
everything. Statistics show that
eighty per cent of men who enter
into other lines of business, aside
from farming, make complete
failure. A large number Of the
twenty per cent who are not classed
with the failures are never what
you would call success. They
remain in business and make
sufficient money to pay their bills
and exist, but that is as far as they
ever get.
The failures among men who
take up agriculture for Livelihood
are comparatively small. With an
ordinary amount of business ability
and energy the farmer succeeds

men. He can say what he thinks
right when he thinks it. His sons
and daughters grow up in the pure
atmosphere of the country where
they learn to love freedom and in
dependence, ard where they can be
taught that. work is honorable and
blessing to mankind. 1t is the
men and women. who were boys
and girls on the farm, that do great
thing and hold responsible posi-
tions.
No, success, which is content
ment and happiness, is not ex-
pressed in dollars and cents. 1t is
the farmer who should be sympa-
thizing with our editorial writers
and law makers, who are slaves to
their readers and their constituency,
many of whom are cooped up in the
city and are wishing that they
could be back on the old farm
where they spent their boyhood
days. The man who leaves the
farm looking for something better
in the city is doomed to disap-
pointment.
