Our country is very much like a
public hotel—guests are welcome
just as long as they pay their bills,
behave themsleves and do not try to
oust the management by force. If
there are any guests amongst us who
do not like our bill of fare or ser
vice, let them seek another hotel, else
they should be forcibly ejected if they
try to start a “rough house.”
Why Farmers Get Rich.
The People has long advocated the
policy of buying at home, living at
home and boarding at the same place.
We believe that the farmer who is
worthy of the name should raise
practically all that he requires in the
way of food and feed stuffs on his
own place. Therein lies the true road
to prosperity. A {striking contrast
to this condition is shown in the state
ment of a New York man who re
cently made a visit- to South Caro
lina and wrote back to friends in thia
State:
“The Southern farmer gets up at
the alarm of a Conneciticut clock,
buttons his Chicago suspenders to
Detroit overalls, washes his face with
Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania
pan. sits down to a Grand Rapids
table, eats Chicage meat and Indiana
hominy fried in Kansas lard on a St.
Louis stove, puts s New York brtdlo
on a Kentucky mule fed on Iowa corn..
mortgage; when bedtime comes he
reads s chapter from a Bible printed
in Boston and says a prayer written
in Jerusalem, crawls under a blan
ket made In New Jersey, to be kept
awake by a South Carolina dog. the
only home predart on the place Then
he wonders wky he ran t make money
la South Carolina.**
