PEACE MEETING
Former Editor of Harper's
Weekly Calls on President.
DISCUSSES THE CAMPAIGN
First Meeting Since the Itmirli
W'liirh Kpsultcil After a Talk
in a Xew York dub.
Washington, Oct. 4.?President
Wilson and George Harvey, formerly
editor of Harper's Weekly, but now
of The North American Review,
whose controversy over the support
of Harper's Weekly furnished one
of the chief incidenrs of Mr. Wilson's
campaign for the presidency,
celebrated "Peace Sunday" today by
a harmony meeting at the White
House. It was their tirst meeting
since their talk in 1;?11 in the presence
of Henry Watterson, editor of
The Louisville Courier-Journal,
which gave rise to Mr. Watterson's
later attacks on Mr. Wilson and led
Mr. Harvey to support Speaker
Champ Clark for the presidential
nomination.
Mr. Harvey called at the White
House at the invitation of Mr. Wilson
to discuss the European situa
iion and tne inn campaign, in uie
last issue of iiis magazine, Mr.
Harvey praised the President's attitude
since the outbreak of war in
Europe and suggested that he wait
patiently for the pysehologicai moment
to urge peace.
The President and Mr. Harvey re
malned in conference for more than
an hour. It was said at the White
House later that the meeting was
most friendly and that past differences
were not referred to. Mr.
Harvey said he had called at Mr.
Wilson's request to discuss public
questions, principally the European
situation and that "as a matter of
course" the talk was friendly.
The White House meeting followed
a conference between Mr. Harvey,
Mr. Tumulty, the President's secretary.
Frederick Lyncfi, Democratic
national committeeman from Minnesota
and Thomas Pence of the national
committee's publicity bureau.
Tne fall campaign was discussed.

then governor of Now Jersey, talked
with Harv and Hrni: Wa'.Ur.'tn
in a New York club. The three
wore fast friends and the editors
liml worked together In Mr. Wilson's
interest in New Jersey.
In January, 111 12, Mr. Watterson
issued tlie statement whieh informed
tlie |>ublie for the first time that
there had been a breach at the club
conference between Wilson and "the
two colonels" as they came to l>e
styled. Watterson referred to Governor
Wilson as "schoolmaster, not
a statesman." and said he had treated
the two veteran Democratic editors
as if they were school boys. The
charge of ingratitude also was made,
the statement relating that, when
asked by Harvey whether the support
of Harper's Weekly was embarrassing
him Governor Wilson had
repneu mat 11 was.
After the publication of this statement
feeling became bitter among
the partisans of the three men. Despite
the publication of letter which
had passed between Governor Wilson
and Colonel Harvey after the
club conference, in which letter*
there were amenities expressed on
both sides, both editors thereafater
supported Speaker Clark for the
1 )emocratic nomination.

('< jsiiltT the llay Crop.
I Progressive Farmer,
j While we all hope the great European
war will end soon, it is dangerous
to assume that there is any
real certainty of its early termination.
What we must do is to take
no chances on the future, but arj
range now to meet the situation
with overflowing barns and smokehouses,
out of which the home demand
may be amply supplied, with
a goodly surplus to be sold at war
tinw> iiplena The tirst sten in such
a live-at-home program must logi!
rally consist in an abundance of
! hay and forage?crops that have always
paid well and that in most
cares now must either be produced
at home or gone without. In preparing
for an abundant harvest of
such crops next spring, it is vital
that certain important stops be
taktn immediately. First of all.
turn to last week's Progressive
Farmer and read again what Prof,
lmggar says about saving a liberal
supply of cowpea and soy bean seed.
These soed usually command high
prices during the spring months,
and it is imperative that liberal
quantities be harvested and protected
against weevils and other in
sects for the spring seeding. Then
in those parts of the cotton belt,
where lespedeza is proving a profitable
hay crop liberal quantities of
these seed should be saved for seeding
in the oat Holds in February and
March.
The.i tctaes the oat crop. to
which we nave repeatedly nrrrr?M'
as one that may, when rightly handled.
take he place of cotter, as a
cash crop. Proper handling, of
course, means fall seeding, the
earlier the better; treatment for
smut; judicious fertilization, suitable
harvesting and threshing machinery
where the oats are intended
for the marke*; and the seeding
of every acre of oat land to some
legume that later is to be made into
hay. It is this latter point to which
we would call especial attention just
row?the urgent necessity .'or seeing
that an abundant supply of
peas, beans or lespedeza seed Is
saved to seed every acre of corn ard
at lard next nrmg and suninj >r
This war will likely mean to us.
Mr. Progressive Farmer, many disagreeable
things, many real hardships;
hut let us make sure now that
one of the humiliations we will not
suffer will he that of buying next
spring dollar-and-a-lialf corn and
twenty-five dollar hay to make
seven-rent cotton.
Why People Should Own and Itead
I took*.
! Hy llarry II. French.
I have heve asked the <|iiestion
why men and women should buy
and read hooks. i presume that
thej intended to ask. when men and
women should read instructive or
1 informing hooks.
Kvery one reads novels for the
purpose of pleasantly passing an
idle hour. Novels, however, have
m mikikt cnarin. Many novels give
i us a fascinating and instructive
! study of characters' of men and women.
and some of them are even
philosophical, without violating the
canons that should govern their
writing.
The persistent and consistent
reading of books is necessary tu inform
the reader of those things that
have been accomplished, or attempted,
in the past, and to instruct him
as to the causes and the origin and
progress of social and economic
forces.
The whole object of reading may
be stated to lie the cultivation of the
mind, in order to enrich it with facts
and to increase its powers of observation
and of rationalization. The
particular result of such an increase
of culture is to attain to a higher
standard of idealism by the community.

pressing an opinion or value on general
questions, however strong may
be the nuturul intellect of that man
or woman, for the reason that they
lack that power of comprehension,
breadth of vision and capacity for
generalization, all of which characteristics
are necessary ingredients
in forming opinions on general
questions.
('??-<>|?erate With the Teachers.
"One Who Notices," in Augusta
Chronicle.
Please permit my using your valuable
paper to make a timely suggestion
to parents, also teachers, to
try and co-operate with each other
for the coming school year, that is
just connneneing.
If a child comes home with the
complaint that, "Teacher punished
me today and 1 hadn't done anything"
and So-nndSo" did this, that
or the other tiling, and "nothing was
done to him,'' or "My teacher bept
me with a rule," etc., tell your child
you will investigate the trouble, and
if he is in the wrong you will punish
him severely for bringing home tales
and misrepresenting things to you
If this were done more parents
would find far less complaints. It
a child fails to learn a lesson, i.
punished, or kept in. don't blatnc
the teacher. Did you see that your
child came in from play and studied?
Did you overlook them? Ii
not, naturally you can expect a
failure in their lessons and a
punishment from the teachers.
1 actually know of a case of a
small boy who was such a terror his
parents gave him a regular old-time
beating every day. I overheard tht
father say, "You are such a terror
liar and good-for-nothing, somebody
should beat the hound out of you 01
half kill you!"
A month later I heard his teachei
gave him a rap or two with a rult
for downright impudence. Th<
father went to the school and de
manded an apology from the teach
er; said the child had said, "Teach
er beat me and I didn't do a thing,'
etc.
Parents, stop and think how youi
children annoy and harass you al
day at home; how you long foi
school to commence so you can hav<
a moment's peace. Remember
when your children walk into
school room they don't change?
they are sometimes worse. Ileiiiem
her this when the complaints conn
in. Ask the teachers what is tin
trouble; give the children to un
dcrstand you don't care for talcy
Don't encourage tale-bearing, an<
you will find better children.
A word to teachers: Study you
pupils; see if they are nervous, ill
or it' there are any good reasons fo
their conduct. Warn them llrst
I'm not a teacher? God forbid, fo
it takes parents for this but
have visited schools, been in home
where children tell a tale and if ;
parent becomes angry and says, "I'l
just see that teacher and tell then
not to dare punish you again, or hi
you.'" The child then becomes en
couraged and from a handslap h
relates a tale of lieing oruell
beaten.
A spoiled child make* a poor citi
zen. So, remember, parents, an
suppress the lirst stories and ther
will he happier parents, children an
teachers
With Slight lie-serve.
Judge.

his wife implicitly and ahsoluUt
but
