This country is suffering mor*^HB
tainted politics than from any 1||H|
I malady at the present time. Th^HB
scarcely a campaign speech
platform demand written or agB?M
jure enacted into law that dol^RaK
carry the taint of personal tfajgE
3ome politician or political
thereof.
There is more "blue sky"
palgn promises of many
running for office than was
tained in the prospectuses of thdafcjgfl
est promoters of chimerical bora^Hn
schemes. There are more secret
blnatlons formed bv nolitlelana fiSHa
name of "My Country" than weMQPtW
formed under any and all
aliases. There are more poltttaMujgj
bates hidden in the phrase
acted" than were ever conccalediaH
der any ahd all ether disguises. ^ 7l
The inordinate thirst for political!
power and unrestrained pasBion for]
mastery has caused more distress inj
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.j
No business combination ever pursued!
their competitors as relentlessly or!
visited more heartless cruelty upom
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make Junk of an in-,
dustry, or cripple a business for party'
euccess. through tariff measures, po-^
litical supervision and ofttimes destructive
legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far-fetcnod. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many)
men in ofllce today who, if they!
could not shake plums off the tree of J
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sam's commissary, would
have less deBire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patriots,
who will bare their breast to bul (
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in defehse
of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence Judgment can
render Citnnhie oorwlril
the preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the American
voter should seek these attributes
as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the staff of
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is.
fresh air and sunshine and these imj
portant elements are moet abundant
upon the farm, and when farmevM
bankers and merchants are electetf^H
membership in legislative bodies, much!
of the trouble in government will dla-l
appear. j
WATERED SECURITIES
By Peter Radford.
Much has been said and more written
about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farmers
of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say "1 know that my Redeemer
llveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
nmci iu no nuuuciai transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmer's note
drawing eight or ten per cent Interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a business pay*
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities representing
an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only dif*
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the securities
in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property involved
but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
Industries that cry louder but none
that Buffer more severely from financial
immorality in both law and custom
than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,000,000 per annum in
isury on real estate and chattel
oans, and this interest capitalized
it five per cent, represents $4,000,000,- '
>00 of fictitious values which the farm- 1
;r is paying interest on. This sum of <
noney is almost equal to the annual
ralue of crops produced in the United
Itates.
The earning power of the farmer'*
lote based upon his Interest rate very
tearly divides likes the earth's sur* 1
ace?three-fourths water and oneourth
land. The largest body of wa- 1
er that floats upon the financial hemsphere
now rests upon the farms
nd its waves are dashing and Its 1
illows are rolling against seren mil- 4
on homes threatening ruin and di?-? 1
ster to the prosperity of the nation.' r
Iflll our public servants who utider- '
tand how to drain the liquid off In- 8
ustrial properties turn the faucet and!
it the water off the farms? 8
________ r .
It is an admitted economic fact that *
lere can be no permanent prosperity n
lthout a permanent agriculture. d
Agriculture is reeognized as the s
reatest of all industries and a prosi t<
srous, crogresslve and enlightened1 h
zricultural population is the surest r<
ifcguard of civilization. ^ %

Woman la Ruler Over All.
| Why does woman chafe under re
I stralnt of sex? Why revile the haot
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has clung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wipec
the tears of sorrow from the face ol
childhood? In its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to its motherlj
folds, tottering children have lealrnec
to play hide and seek and from il
| youth learned- to reverence and re
spoct womanhood. Can man think ol
his mother without this consecrated
garment?
Why this inordinate thirst for pow
of? Is not woman all powerful? Man
c&nnot enter this world without hei
consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar
ture, he has lived in vain. Why this
longing for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
Worships her? Man has giveh woman
| his heart, his name and his money.
What more does she want?
Can man find it in his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
j the most powerful political bosses in
' the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that his
| mother Was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whither

I ' * TN
^God 8<v? Us From a Hen-Pecked
Nation. WI
I follow the plow for a living and
my views may have in them the smell
of the soil, my hair is turning white
under the frost of many winters and
1 perhaps I am a little old-fashioned,
but 1 believe there is more moral influence
in the dress of woman than in
all the statute books of the land. As
an agency for morality, I wouldn't
give my good old mother's homemade
gowns for all the suffragette's
constitutions and by-laws In the world.
As a power for purifying society, I
wouldn't give one prayer of my saintly
mother for all the women's votes in
Christendom. As an agency for good
government, I wouldn't give the plea
of a mother's heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of office In the land.
There Is more power In the smile
of woman than In an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cabinet
of the president of tne United
States.
The destiny of this nation lies In
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the family
Bible will ever remain the sourco
of our inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will ever shine bnghter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Whv add
to a statute book, already groaning
under Its own weight, the hysterical
cry of woman? If we never had a
chance to vote again In a lifetime and I
did not pass another law In twentyfive
years, we could survive the ordeal,
out without home, civilization
would wither and die.
Ood save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women become stepfathers
to government, Is the prayer
Df the farmers of this country.
A DIVINE COVENANT.
Qod Almighty gave Eve to Adam
vlth the pledge that she would be his
lelpmeet and with this order of com)anionshlp,
civilization has towered
o its greatest heights. In this relalonshlp,
God has blessed woman and
nan has honored her and after four
housand years of progress, Bhe now
>roposes to provoke Ood to decoy
nan by asking for suffrage, thereby
?y amending an agreement to which
he was not a party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
corned a divine covenant, and as a
esult wandered forty years in the
rilderness without God r .lUowlaa I
ian ehould remember that it is a
angerous thing to debase woman hy
iw. Rome tried lowering woman's
tandard and an outraged civilization
>re tho clothed off the barks of tho
uman race and turned them out to
