Every committee of either branch of Congress which has had anything to do with investigating the things which have transpired in the last year has stumbled onto something which showed Baker up. He is incapable, indifferent and inactive; he is meddlesome, troublesome and irkoiue; he lacks judgment, he lacks tact, and he lacks sense. Why Secretary Baker has been kept on the job i more than even the friends of the administration can understand. He ha been against practically everything that a majority of the American people have boon for. He rolls stones in the paths of tho-e who are workim: for the best interests of the country and today hi. de

Nation Imperiled by Its Low Standard of Physical Efficiency By REPRESENTATIVE HORATIO C. CLAYPOCL of Ohic

The question naturally arises within the mind of ereTious man. AMiat practical thing can be done to decrease the percentaf physical deficients and raise the standard of physical efficiency anion? he men of our nation ? " There is overwhelming evidence that the people of this nation are ving m profound ignorance of the vital and imperative necessity of trainig their bodies with the same care and thoroughness as thev do th-ir licds. "Cram the mind, though the body be crippled' has been t ibidmg practice of our people so long that when the hour of great necessity arises, hen the moment of peril is upon us, and the things that are aore priceless to us than our lires are in jeopardy and the cry of a rathess enemy is heard at our gates, and the nation turns irith confidence to he surging millions of its citizens for defenders, an amazing host is found lerrous, timid, uncertain, doubtful, hesitant, and with wamno- and depleted vitality. Well might we hang our heads in shame at the eihiwtion, and doubly so. because in all the wonderful achievements of this peerlesi nation it has neglected the apparent and imperative duty of training its citizenship in the necessity of physical culture. It is easy for a healthy man to be courageous, hopeful, optimistic and -rithusiastie, and it is easy for a sick man to be a coward. If the resplendent glory of this nation is to remain unsullied, it will be becauseof the devotion, courage, masterfulness, resourcefulness and physical vigor cf its citizens.

What a bright page in the history of youth was lost when roller skatinp postponed its advent so long! We think of all this when we see a boy on skates glid'ng down street, pulled by a dog which the boy holds by a string. It is the very acme of delight to a boy. And 1 the dog, too, how it tosses its tail and laughs as if all the fun was its own. It is impossible to conceive of a fuller conjunction of fun and sport than a dog pulling a roller skater down the street. The next day we saw another roller skater out with a dog, but the dog didn't

This shows they are alive to the situation in that state. 'It is astonishing how latle the farmer does to pro-

Rut the situation changed in a night, for the next day we saw the boy and his dog ipeeding down the avenue, sic itur ad astra. and we thought how sad it wa3 to be a wise old man without roller skates or a dog. But they are the first things we will look for in the New Jerusalem.

WHAT WASHINGTON SAID. "If we remain one' people, under an ef.lcient govern ment, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance: when we may take such an attitude as will caue th neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously re spected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly haz ard the giving us provocation: when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel. "Why forego the advantage of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why. by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship. interest, humor or caprice?

,-It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent j

table, but finds the general bill of fare is salt pork si.d potatoes, varied with apple pie. "Mo.t farmers think gardening is 'fancy work.' and are willing to let the wives do it after they have served three meals to twelve healthy farm hands and made three or four children ready for school. I think she has done her hit in doing any one of these job without being asked to do the 'fancy work' so called." Mr:?. Steward is working out plans for a pig for every family and is working night and day on plans for scholarships to teach young women farm l'fe. ' We l-ar a lot ot- back to the farm." said Mrs. Sir ward, "but the man will not go without the woman, and what does the average woman know about farming? She must be schooled in her end of it just as much, perhaps more, than the man, for she will stick In the face of adversitj where many men will not. Mrs. Steward is one of the best known women farmers in the country and manages her farms on a business basis.
