made to them by the LaFOllette'
group in the last elections and
on the eve of the opening of
congress last December.
The fact that La Follette's pet
hobby of railroad legislation did not
even get hearing in this session,
that the railway interests have
frmer grip on the governmental
strike-breaking machinery than ever,
that not a step was taken to alleviate
the acute suffering of the farmers did
not seem to worry the Wisconsin SEN
ator, coming as it did at the end of
a long period of procrastination on his
part.
Makes Very Weak Attempt.
Many people who have seen con-
gress at work for years and who have
watched La Toilette press his case
on numerous other occasions were sur
prised at the weak attempt made by
him to prevent the senate reactionar-
les from reaffirming the position Of
the house which was for adjournment
by vote of 221-157. The consensus
of opinion here before the singing
defeat was administered the insur-
gents is summed UP as follows by the
observer of one of the leading metro
politan dailies:
'If Senator La Toilette is sincere
in presenting his resolution, he will
no doubt resort to one of the filibust-
ers for which he is so well-known, and
may do everything possible to pre-
vent the Senate quitting its work in
time for the Cleveland convention
next week"
La Toilette Is Insineere.
Obviously La Toilette was insiscere
in his advanced notices of the fight to
the finish that he was going to make
in order to force congress to show
itself on the various questions con-
fronting the country. The fact of the
matter is that in the house the So
called progressive bloc, from whom
considerable determined opposition
was expected in an effort to thwart
adjournment, did not even participate
in the debate on the issue. The in
surgent whip in the House, .Represen-
tative Nelson Of Wisconsin, was silent
thruout the proceedings. In the SEN
ate, floor leader La Toilette merely
greeted the reactionary line up of the
unified democrats and republicans
with a smile.
II La Toilette had resorted TO fill
clustering as he has on occasions Of
far less importance to the working
and farming masses he could have de-
feated the agents OF the big interests
in their plan to hasten adjournment
The old guard Of both capitalist par
ties was anxious to close sessions in
order TO get a chance to repair their
political fences which are badly in
need of mending in many states. II
is the plan OF the administration
forces to blame the inactivity Of the
first session on the tactics OF the so
called progressives who will be
charged with having tied the hands

ness men of the nation go into executive session
The day of better trade is not coming; it is al
ready with us. There has been increase in our
cotton ginnings for the year OF 2,lOO,OOO bales.
There has been an advance of $47 100000 in build
ing in the month of October. The production of
steel ingots has taken almost sensational jump,
while steel bookings more than million tons
ahead of last year. The manufacture and distrbu-
ton of Portland Cement, which tells the story OF
good road construction and of building, are march
ing far ahead of schedule. In brief, the basic IN
dustries have taken on new life and now lead the
way to the wave of prosperity. Perhaps local
merchants may be slow take advantage OF the
change but those of keen vision, who boldly take
advantage of the times, are destined to profits
unknown in many year. The laggards will
wait Of course, until they must buy at higher
prices bound to come in response to greater de-
mand and increased consumption.
The report of the Department of Commerce
shows the sales of the two leading mail order
houses aggregated $41036OOO in October as
against $31 44SO0O in September and $37,743OOO
in 1923. This shows the improved condition of the
pocketbook of the farmer, Who unfortunately, has
not vet learned that he can buy at home the same
quality of goods and at low prices as he gets

THE FARMERS INTEREST IN SECOND


AIRY SCHOOLS-Of the many reasons for the
interest of farmers and farm committees in school
consolidation none has perhaps had more weight
than that it offers 4 means OF bringing secondary
education to fam children while they live at
home on the farm under the guidance and with
the conlpanionship of their parents That rural
people IRE intensely and earnestly interested III
going to high school when they can that is, when
high schools are accessible and efficient and that
county wide consolidation does offer an accepta-
bic solution for the problem of educating farm
youth is indicated by returns just received IN the
Bureau of Education from the County Superln-
tendent of Randolph county, Indiana. Inns IS a
county in which one-room schools have been en-
trely replaced by consolidated schools Last
spring $40 children enrolled in the schools OF this
county completed the eighth grade. This year
32o of Them or approximately 80 per cent, enter
ed the freshman year of high school.
In number of schools in the county, lOO per
cent of the eighth grade graduates of June, 1874
are enrolled in high school this fall That this is
not an exceptional record in the county IS shown
by the fact that the total enrolment IN ne rural
schools Of he county in September, 1924, was A.
COL OF this number Liza, approximately 70 IL
per cent are in the high school.
This exceptional record is not due to consolida-
ton alone; other factors enter n doubt. The
efficiency of the school system itself of the high
schools in particular the fact that they offer prac-
teal courses which appeal to farm boys and girls
are probably important among the various lac
tors involved The record speaks well for the peo-
pie of the county their school system, and the
administrative and teaching personnel.

COMMUNITY INTEREST-Figurc you will
YOU can't get away from the idea Of community
interest We who constitute the local community
are intensely dependent on one another. When we
buy our merchandise from outof-town concerns
we take that much business from local business
firms. If enough business is withdrawn from them
they'll eventually have to quit. Then Fitzgerald
would shrvel up Clerks, laborers and tradesmen
would have to move away. That would directly
affect the value of our homes and farms. Then who
would pay the taxes that support our public instl-
tutons build and maintain our streets and roads
and paw the interest on public Indebtedness al
ready incurred? Our sef-interest, the safety of
our property investments demand that we trade at
home and support our local business men. II any
one thinks he can refute this argument, | will give
years subscription to the Leader for logical
argument in favor of trading with the mail order
houses.
