was nothing "yellow" about
the method of executing Czolgosz.
The county council of Vigo county has appropriated ^18,000 for voting machines. When this reform once gets a start in Indiana it will spread rapidly. Montgomery county should not ue too far behind.
-The
expansion question has struck
Frankfort locally. It is proposed to have a greater Frankfort by extending the boundary lines. This same problem will some day become a burning issue in Crawfordsville.
The farmers do not realize the value of a crop of trees or they would make a serious study of forestry. Tnose who have studied it say a tree crop is us l.roti tabic as wheat or corn and, though slower, much more certain.
The first line for violating the truancy law in Montgomery county, was administered this week. This will be a wholesome lesson to a certain class who do not appreciate the blessings of our free school system.
By a recent Illinois decision stocks and bonds of certain kinds of corporations must be taxed at their full valuation. This will add §100,000,000 to the tax duplicates of the state and may result in driving a great many corporalions from Illinois.
Judging
from the opinion of health
authorities and gardners it would be the part of wisdom to cease burning leaves and use them as fertilizers for liower and vegetable gardens. This would also do away with the* danger ol' burning up women and little children along with the leaves.
Some silly person has suggested Schley for President. The fact thai a man is a naval hero does not prove that he has any particular qualifications for civil administration. The suggestion will bear no fruit if Schley has common sense, and we believe he has. Remember Dewey's fiasco as a presidential candidate.
Secretary Gage has returned to Washington after a trip through the west. Speaking of financial (Conditions Mr. Gage said: "There was no evidence that crop failures would result in an increase of farm mortgages, and in fact the Republican prosperity showed every evidence of continuing at the flood. We have right here in the treasury a barometer which is never failing in the demand for bills of email denominations. We are working our force at the bureau of engraving and printing two hours overtime and the mill that manufactures the paper on which they "are printed is turning out four million extra sheets per day and still we cannot supply the demand. That is the best evidence in the world that the crops oare moving smoothly aod that money is in• general circulation. Yes, there is abundant prosperity in the west."
IMI'liOVING I'AKM LIFE. One of the serious problems of the country is supposed to be the tendency of population to leave the farm for the city. Undoubtedly this tendency has been very marked for a number of years past, but there are several developments in rural life which we believe will check it quite a good deal. The means of communication and social intercourse have in the country grown remarkably in the last few years and there is every reason to expect a more rapid growth in the future, in addiction to good roads, which are the founvtion of all other means of communication, note the great strides taken by the rural telephone, rural mail delivery. and the interurban electric lines.
And fully as important as any of these is the graded country school. The time is coming when every farmer-will have first, a good, hard, well drained road leading from hi? house to the nearest market second, a telephone giving liim instant communication with every person living within a hundred miles: third, a daily delivery of mail bringing the news of the world to his door fourth, an electric line within a ten minute drive of his home, and last but not-least, a graded school, equal in efficiency to the city school, to which his children are carried if they live too far away to walk.
The more nearly this ideal condition
is reached the more we may expect to see the march away from the soil diminish. The only serious objection to faqn life ia its isolation and the consequent disadvantages. Remove this isolation i.nd you have solved an important social problem. la the new movement we are glad to say that Montgomery county is giving a good account of herself. Her farmers have ever been progressive and thoughtful. But let them keep on pushing toward the ideal until every tiller of the soil in the county feels the daily thrill of contact with the great moving world.
One cause of weakness in the Fili pino character, that of treacherous dishonesty, has been the low set of ideals held before the natives by their former Spanish rulers. Those who have studied the Filipino claim that this fault is not inherent and therefore will gradually disappear under American rule. In this connection a paragraph from the Jit view of Jitvicics, by E. L. Hawthorne, is interesting. He says:
The part taken by our army in the civil settlement of the Phillipine Islands is apace of lustory ,that may never be written, but wiil be remembered by the Filipinos with gratitude and respect, it wao from that army that they gained the true deiinition of ollk'ial honor: and with unaccustomed eyes they saw its members using every power of mind and body in the development of good government and faildealings, with no incentive beyond right principle, and no reward but clear conscience. They looked, as was natural to men of their training, for motives, either sinister or selfish: for it was not conceivable that health, and home and even life would be risked or thrown awav for the mere contemplation of duty done and honor satisfied. But it hae come to pass, and their eyes are opened and they believe.
