yi’ L. Wood, of was one of the contestants for the prize offered by the Republican National Committee for the best article on “Why the Republican Party Should Be Successful in the Next Election.’’ While the article was one of the many unsuccessful ones in the contest, it has considerable merit and will appear in an early issue of the Republican. The Howard county board of commissioners have just refused to grant retailers’ liquor licenses to four applicants who proposed to do business in Kokomo. The ground upon which the board rested its action was that Kokomo already has enough saloons and that to license additional places will again overcrowd the business in that city and place it in the same condition that it was prior to the remonstrance campaign there a year or two ago. \

Discouraging words come from tha. farms on the high lands as well as the' marsh farms on the Kankakee, where the entire crops were killed by the frost. The grub worms are now taking the corn and pasture along the shore line, and they will no doubt keep at their work until it rains or the ground freezes. The south end farms are the best in the county by odds, and they have come the nearest a failure this year ever known since the first settlers broke up the maiden soil. —Crown Point Star.

The reactionary republicans are certain to become a smaller and smaller minority I am for Taft In particular because he will carry forward what Roosevelt lias begun and because I believe he will bC another epoch making president.

A Picture of Bryao.

Senator Beveridge seemingly caught the public fancy in his recent word picture of Mr. Bryan. The picture pleases because it is generous in its treatment and true to the subject Senator Beveridge did not indulge in denunciation, he was kindly in his words and the people applaud for the Bryan he describes is the Bryan that is known to the people. Here is the extract which the press of the land is reprinting:

“Let no man denounce Mr. Bryan. Such men are necessary to human progress. Always such men have been the voice of a protest but never the statement of a cause. Always they have been the urges of reform, but never the doers of work.

“Mr. Bryan is an Aaron, bat not a Moses; a Henry, but not a Washington; a Wendell PhlUips. but not an Abraham Lincoln. He Is the storm ot unrest which clears the . atmosphere, but not the trade winds that carry to port the freighted ships of a people’s hope. “Four years ago, in his own homb, paying tribute to his character and mind, I called him a dreamer who beholds happy visions, but achieves no useful deed. His Is the mind that thinks of the barren field bening with grain; but his is not the plowman’s hand, the sower’s craft or the gleaner’s husbandry. The poet’s dream of an undiscovered Utopia has cheered us all, but the Pilgrim’s actually landing on Plymouth Rock, planted the real ’ tree of “l&cnr'tj SwaeoSh' •whcfeß'" real shade we rest and by whose real fruits we live.”’

Helping the Farmers,

The commission Appointed by the president to investigate the conditions surrounding farm life in this country will meet in Washington next week. It is reported that many letters have been received already? pointing out some of the under which farmers labor, and suggesting more or less novel remedies by legislation and otherwise. Among the farmers’ grievances are bad roads, excessive charges by middlemen, poor educational facilities, and scarcity of competent labor. Doubtless a few score additional drawbacks to perfect farm life will come to light as ths commission pursues its inquiries. The field of investigation regarding farm conditions is practically boundless. The commission could spend years in gathering information and devising improvements, without exhaystlng the possibilities of its task. The ramifications of the subject are innumerable, touching great matter* in transportation, immigration, legistion and sociology. The commission can merely touch upon general conditions, In the hope of gathering information that will be useful in defining the proper scope of the government’s activities' in relation to agriculture.

The paternalism involved In the plan to Improve farm life by the government has not escaped criticism, but when the work of the department of agriculture is considered, It is apparent that this criticism Is belated. The government assumed a paternal attitude toward farming long ago. Th* question nofr is how far It shall go, not whether it shall make a specialty ot improving farm conditions. Where shall the line be drawn? Is it right to assist fanners to procure good seed, improved stock, and protection from insect pests, and wrong to assist them to obtain ’ satisfactory domestic and farm labor? If It Is proper to teach farmers better method* of fanning, why is It improper to teach the farmers’ children? Th* government has not tried to do th* work of the states in building good farm roads, but It has done many other things which might have been left to individual or state Initiative. Little objection has been made to tbl* paternalism, and probably the state* would be glad to surrender more of their rights ia' excha&ge for go?tf. sized congressional appropriations. One subject, however, may be considered by the government with propriety—the marketing of agricultural products. The prices of American staples of agriculture are fixed i* many cases outside of the United States, and are subject to violent fluctuations artifically produced. Th* law of supply and demand does not freely operate, but is interfered with by speculators having' eontrol of the sources of information as to the world’s crops. It Is the alm of the International Institute of Agriculture to correct this state of affaire by gathering and publishing erop Information, just as the department of Agrici!’u:e reports on America* crops. Although the International institute was founded through the efforts of an American, the United States has been strangely Indifferent in its attitude toward it. Economists of other countries see in the institute a means of rescuing agriculturists from the rapacity of spe< ulaors In the world’s food supply, and are busily at work in behalf of the fanners of their respective countrie*, But the United States has done little toward the establishment of the world’s crop-reporting institution.— Washington Post.
