POLITICAL GOSSIPS When one class of people has anything to say, it has become largely the custom to make a political issue out of it instead of a friendly discussion, to print it in a law book instead of a newspaper and to argue it before a jury Instead of to settle It In the higher courts of Common Sense. As a result, political agitators, political lawyers, political preachers and masculine women are powerful in politics and dissension, selfishness, in? tolerance and hysterics run rampant in public affairs, for when the low, damp, murky atmosphere of misunderstanding envelops public thought it breeds political reptiles, vermin, bugs and lice which the pure air of truth and the sunshine of understanding will choke to death. We have too many self-appointed interpreters of industry who are incapable of grasping the fundamental principles of business and who at best can only translate gossip and add color to sensational stories. No business can stand upon error and might rules?right or wrong. No industry can thrive upon misunderstanding, for public opinion is more powerful than a King's sword. When prejudice, suspicion and class hatred prevail, power gravitates into the hands of the weak, for demagogues thrive upon dissension and statesmen sicken upon strife. The remedy lies in eliminating the middleman?the political gossip?and this result can be accomplished by the managers of business sitting around the table of industry and talking it over with the people. Interchange of information between industries and the people is as necessary to success in business as interchange in commodities, for the people can only rule when the public understands. Away with political interpreters who summon evil spirits from their prison cells and loose them to prey upon the welfare ot tue peopiC in the name of "My Country." GRASPING AT THE SHADOW No man?especially if he la married?would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and give us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot? When all is said and done, is not the selection of the butcher more important to the home than the election of a mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the lifo of the children than the appointment of a postmaster: is not the selection of books for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? Why does woman lay aside the important things in life? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? He it said to the credit of womanhood that it is Dot, as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast, the ballot: it is not the mother who teaches her children to say "Now I lay me down to sleep" that harangues the populace; it is not the daughter who hopes to reign as }uecn over a happy home that longs Tor the uniform of the suffragette. It is, as a rub, the woman who despises aer home, neglects her children and scorns motherhood that leads parades tud smashes windows. lie FORUM I .

When you enter the agricultural department of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takes on a new power?that Is the inspiration of the soil. You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene?that Is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you back to the soil? that is opportunity knocking at your door. It is a good chance to spend a quiet hour in contact with the purity and perfection of nature and to sweeten your life with its fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination wiiu its power. These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of commerce they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market in the world. The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as well. Their beauty gives human life its first entertainment, their perfection stirs the genius in artists; their purity furnishes models for growth of character and their marvelous achievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the wonderful p/ocess of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agriculture where nature is p trading in her moat graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec tion, let us pause and take a retrospective view. How many of yon know that after these wonderful pro.l ucts are raised, they can seldom be marketed at a profit? Take the blushing Elberta, for example?they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion?the nation's favorite vegetable?every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of a market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cotton?natures capitalist?often goes begging on the market at less than cod cf production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing j "Dixie" and boast of the marvelous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves | on our ability to master science, but it is also well to remember that there is a market side to agriculture that does not retlect its hardships in the exhibits at a county fair. UNIVERSAL PEACE j his nation is now in the midst or | a controversy as to how bust to promote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to discuss, but peace within nations is no i less important than peace between nations and it is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within our commonwealth. Many leading politicians and oftthnes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood In high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets Into business enterprises and bombarded agj riculture with indifference. Party I leaders have many times broken dip lomatic relation? with in^^^B sent A political aviators spying the affairs of business, and 2l^^Bl submarines have sent torpedo^^Pishing o the destiny of commtSK I>ur- ni >ng the past quarter of a ^Bury we m have fought many a duel ^th prog- ye rcBS, permitted many polBfcians to tu carry on a guerrilla warfare against nf civilization and point a pistol at the heart of honest enterprise. ()T No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his reo- pr ord has been searched for explosives, for no vessel armed or laden with W munitions of war should be given a tl< clearance to sail for the port of Unl- mi versal Peaco. Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, ^ should begin at home.
