TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to nave every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican

Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and,, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements 3. central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P O. Box 2063, New York.

PRODUCTIVITY OF FARMS. But a little thought is required to ascertain one of the reasons for the high prices of living 1 commodities that prevail says the Lafayette Courier. With 6,000,000 farms on 400,000,000 acres of improved lands in the United States, it seems that Vt r fli T 1 t- t rf V" fin f

I. liVi CIXWISIU. J UVUt V4. Ill v v. a. . ables of a vegetable nature that the people of the country require. Yet that is exactly the situation. There

is an under production of many of the staple food products. The best

is not made 01 opportunities, ignorant and careless farm methods prevail in many sections of the land and

me resuu is mat tne best is not se

cured from the soil that it is capable cf producing. As a matter of fact,

farm statistics show that but a little

over half is produced yearly that should be , produced considering the

acreage tilled and the crop condi

tions. It is estimated that the num

ber of acres of tillable land in the country would support a population ten times as great as it Is now. In many States, this great waste of opportunity is being remedied by the teaching of scientific farming. In this, Indiana is one of the leaders. -The active work of Purdue university in creating a spirit of energy and ambition among the Indiana farmers has had a wonderful effect in getting the best that can be had from their farms. Its work is being emulated in many other states and it'is now recognized that a course in farming at an up-to-date agricultural school is absolutely necessary for the young man who is desirious of receiving the best returns for his labor expended on his acres. The government is taking active steps in every section of the country to have jfecience applied to farming and the result is that all over the country yields are frequent that but a few years ago woild have been regarded as phenomenal. The science of farming Is yet in its infancy, however. Many improvements In methods have been made, but there 13 room for still greater improvements. These are coming rapidly, but active education along the lines of scientific farming as taught in schools like Purdue will work'wonders in crop production and from those wonders will come cheaper prices for the consumer. No country has ever raised so much that It could not find "a market for its products

in the eating line. .No one in America ever fears a food famine now, but if all the energy wasted now on farms produced commensurate returns there would be more for the farmer and better prices for the consumer.

The "over production" of presidential candidates on the ' Republican side of the political fence, indicates one thing anyway and that is there are-many men in the party who at least may be considered" available timber. Across the fence Democracy must still be content with just a single man who can stand up and aspire to the highest office in the land. And he has been standing so long that even his new boom will not land him in the coveted place.

The Ohio Democrats are now ready to hold their State convention at Columbus. Their slogan will be like that of Democrats all over the country viz: Republicans come vote with us." Ohio which slid into the Democratic column when Rattison was elected, will not repeat it again. There will be a different story this year and the invitation to vote but not to participate in the fruits of the result, will not be heeded by the Ohio Republicans again.

the Republican ranks, take a pinch of salt before attempting to digest the

The Republican State Committee is

planning for the opening of the campaign about the middle of September

and from then until the election in

November, the fur will fly, so to

speak. Though it is not announced what assistance the State Committee will have in the way of outside

speakers, it is understood that several

Republicans of National fame, in

cluding Speaker Cannon, will visit many of the districts and make addresses. The .state committee has

not been idle even during the sum

mer months and affairs in a general way are in such condition as to point

to an overwhelming victory next fall.

The Palladium has had several in

quiries as to tne speakmg dates or Congressman Watson in Wayne county. This has not been determined

up to the present time, but. itt is like

ly that the congressrhan will be heard

at several points in addition to an ad-

ress that he . will deliver in Rich

mond. '

The Wayne County Democrats have

been notified that the , county Democratic convention will be held in Richmond, September 8. The call was

officially issued yesterday by Chair

man Harris. The announcement is

made that a full legislative and coun

ty ticket will be nominated as usual.

There is said to be so much opposi

tion to the contemplated plans of the

incominig Democratic city adminis

tration relative to reorganizing the

fire department, that it is now regard ed as certain there will be no changes.

signed his position with the city light department the first of . the present month. He served the city in this capacity 'more than four years and leaves behind him a record that is excellent, and one which indicates thaJ

will exceed that of last week. As announced a few days ago, the Elks withdrew from the contest, but despite this fact, more than 2,000 votes for this lodge have been received during the week. It is a rule of this con

test that votes cannot be transferred, hence they must stand. Persons who have been collecting votes. for the Elks are again notified that this lodge, has withdrawn and ballots collected should be voted for some other
