That uas befWe the rural fre delivery was established and th- farmer had to go to town to ?;et his mail. He had not acquired th daily paper habit. He was accustomed to reading the news in wr kly installments, and It did not occur to him to expect to have it s re,i to him more frequently, except when some friend thoimht to mail him a daily p.ipe, from the city or sotn" visitor brought late copies of the dally isurs. The farmer was o,uito happy with his weekly paper and paid three dolb.rs a jear for it without much grumbling. Avithout any If he could turn in a load of wood or farm produce in payment. Then came the rural free delivery and its opportunities. The f armor rosfl promptly to the occasion.

destruction of those for which no one would assume responsibility to the extent of paying a yearly license would greatly limit the disease. The problem m simpler in Fngland, but the success in practically obliterating the disease for the last 20 years in that country shows what can be accomplished. We need intelligent, persistent scientific interest to prevent the 'spread of the disease and not the animal attack of hysteria that inflicts cruelty without accomplishing any good purpose.

tin; valui; or soliti di:. "The average American." says (Jeorg Hrandes, the Danish critic, "dees not seem to have the slightest idea of how necessary solitude is to the formation of an opinion." Haven't you, as you've talked with farmers. been impressed with the "sotness" of their opinions? There are stubborn city men, of course; but the mixiness of life in a city tends to a certain versatility in thinking you might almost say tends to substitute impressions and emotions for thinking. The farmer, on the other hand, working for the most part alone and

over missing a copy of hi daily paper than he used to be when his weekly failed to arrive This illustrates the force- of habit and the keener interest in the news of the day created by the circulation o.' daily newspapers in the country. Hefore, the farmer was isolated from the big world alout him except for the slender connection afforded by his weekly newspaper Now, with his daily, he is a part of it. He is as familiar with current events as the city dweller. His interest in human affairs has been quickened until it equals that of the citizen of the city. He is as vell informed on the markets as the merchant or the broker. The connecting link which has drawn the urban and rural populations into practically one community was forged by the daily newspaper, and It is this agency on which dependence must be placed for the restoration of the equilibrium between city and country.

quietly, has ample time to assemble

Now the farmer is more disturbed amj diPPt his thoughts and to ar

range them into a definite philosophy. Hence what sometimes seems like stubbornness in him is, instead, merely the confidence with which he holds to an opinion upon which he lias done a careful and, so far as he was able, a thorough job of thinking. The great works of literature have mostly been written in the country. For that matter, most of the world's big men have been country born. In the arms of nature and amidst her silences they have wrestled with life's problems and wrought out guiding ideals and visions.

kiui:s and not; days. The Journal of the American Meilual association lias a timely and enlightening article on the subject of rabies which dispels some of the popular delusions ami adds a word of practical advice. We are familiar with the annual spasm of precaution which is founded on tradition rather than upon understanding. The cemimr of "dog-days." especially if the season happens to bring with it one or more prolonged heated periods, attracts the attention of the public generally much more to the danger from rabies than do definite reports of the spread of the disease at other seasons of the year, which ought to arouse solicitude. Hoards of aldermen, city council. and town ctlicials of other kinds wake up mm the rriost absolute lethargy with regard to ;he disease

tiii: CHOP FUNDS. So far banks in different sections of the country have asked (he secretary of the treasury for $34,000,000 to aid in moving the crops. The calls for federal deposits of crop funds come from the southern states and the middle west, but none from .w Kn gland. The w estern cities asking for . aid are located in Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, Missouri. Nebraska. Oklahoma and Washington. In Indiana Fort Wayne and Hvansville are the only cities that will receive federal deposits. The other cities of the state needed no help. The demand for funds this year is three millions less than last year ami varying interpretations are placed upon it. According to Sec. McAdoo the volume of money demanded for the purpose named confirms the optimistic bulletins of the agricultural department and indicate a decided promise of greatly improved business conditions and enlarged business activity. The secretary's view seems to be freely justified by the circumstances. Increasing the circulation of money to the extent of thirty-four millions means that business needed ju-st that

GATHERING THE NEWS By Fred C. Kelly

BY FHKD C. Ki:iXY. WASHINGTON. July 2S. John P. Gavit, managing editor of the NewYork Evening Post, ami one of the really able journalists of the country only it would make him mad to call him a journalist has for a great many years had a funny aptitude for bumping unexpectedly into naked facts. Let us hasten to explain. Just by w ay of citing one instance, when Gavit was a young reporter he dug up a perfectly lovely murder story one afternoon shortly before time for his paper to go to press. No other paper would have the story and Gavit yearned to give the facts to a waiting world. Hut he was five miles from his ollice and he didn't, know how far from a telephone. He thought of a. way to reach the nearest phone. Starting with the telephone poles at the nearest highwa, he followed the lines until he came to an offshoot and then he traced a wire until it went into what appeared to be an empty house. In the hope that there might be a telephone instrmument within, Gavit forced nis way into the front door and did find a phone. It was in the days when you cranked the instrument to call central. That rang your own bell. In this instance, the bell aroused a woman who was in an upstairs bathroom for the upstairs was occupied and the house was not empty as Gavit thought She took the ringing to be a call from downstairs. Heing alone in the house, as she supposed, she did not take time to fix up much, but came directly from the tub. When she saw a stranger standing at the phone she screamed, but was so startled that for a second or two she stood spellbound, unable to mov. Then, yelling excitedly, she raced back upstairs and locked herself in the bathroom. Gavit could hear the lock snap. While all this was happening, however, Gavit had to go ahead calmly telling his story to his oflice, for he had not a minute to spare. As rapidly as possible after getting through with his oflice he hastened out of the house, wondering if he would be arrested for house breaking. The thing that saved him, perhaps, was that the woman may have had compunctions about teiling the story in court. A distressing feature of the whole affair was the fact that Gavit knew who she was. And she knew who he was. Moreover, Gavit knew that she knew that he knew that she knew that he knew.

Coming from Roosevelt sources gives a certain color to the statement that the colonel is regarded as their chief danger by both democrats and republicans.

At any rate, the incident recalls a thing that happened when Atlon B. Parker was nominated for the presidency. The news of his nomination was carried to Parker by davit. He. along with a number of other correspondents went to Europe to be on hand when Parker was nominated a.s they had learned he would be and hear what he had to say about running for president. Now, Parker was. and I believe still is, a great hand to go in swimming every morning before breakfast the season permitting. When davit and the rest of the newspaper fellers heard that Parker was nominated it was about t:3 0 in the morning and there was a fog thick enough to turn the edge of an ordinary jimmy. Parker was down at the river having his usual early morning romp in the water. While the. others waited up at the house for the nominee to return, davit enterprisingly trudged on down the hill to the dock. Parker's old yellow mackintosh hung on a post, but the judge himself was nowhere in sight, davit couldn't help thinking what an interesting story he would have if th judge were drowning right then. Making a hastv review of his United

States political history, recall offhand a single presidential candidate

the very time of being nominated. Ten minutes went by and still no Parker, davit began really to wonder if Parker had drowned. He began to frame up the wording of a bulletin to the Associated Press. Just then Parker spoiled the story by coming to the surface, all pink and exhilirated. He had been swimming up the river a short distarce. davit stepped up, introduced himself, ami said : "Well, judge, you're it." "What do you mean?" "You're nominated."

can. Even in this 1'Oth century of the era of Christ men calmly discuss the possibilities of world-wide conilict which would cost millions of lives and why? Because two nations have a slight basis of quarrel. Why? Merely because men. individually and-in the aggregate, have not yet enough brains to settle their problems without recourse to brawn. That is the kernel of the whole matter: Until men have brains enough to solve problems with brains they will sohe them like gorillas solve them witii force of arm. As soon as men have enough brains to be called civilized instead of brutish they will use their brains instead of their force of arm in meeting any emergency of the kind. Whence came all this talk of a world war, and how did it arise? Austria wants to humiliate ervia as a result of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. Servia very naturally was reluctant to be humiliated. "Kneel or liyhtl" was Austria's ultimatum. But that was the start of it. Russia sympathizes with Servia, and England and France probably will support Russia. They are allies. on the other side, Germany and Italy would line up with Austria. And why is this breach between the nations possible? Simply because Austria, pigheadedly and insanely, warned all other powers to keep hands off while she chastised Servia. Because Austria will consent to no mediation shall men then stand IT and hope that Servia and Russia and

France and England will "lick

It would, indeed, make a pretty fight. How short away has mankind come from the apel Not yet brainy enough to settle a dispute with his brains! Surely this cannot be. Surely Russia and France and England on the one side and dermany and Italy on the other are great enough nations to catch Austria and Servia by the shoulders and sit them down in their proper places at 'n council board of the powers.

A NATION-WIDE I'KOCK

MAMZATION. The government wants a sociologist who can grapple with the problem, of desertion, orphanage, the delinquent and the deftctie. His work will be in com. action with the children's bureau. Does this simply mean that here is a chance for some trained man to get a government job? No. it calls attention to one of the most signiricant facts in our life today to a nationwide process under which can be summed up nearly all the efforts for the public good. This process can be described by one simple word "humanization. Humanization is the aim and ideal to

day in the United States. Humaniono simple word "humanization." of public schools, humanization of industry In brief, humanization of every institution to the end that the human factor shall come into it own. We see this process illustrated not only in the fact that the government wants an expert to grapple with the problems of orphanage. We see. it in such statements as those made before the industrial commission relative to the effort to give labor a substantial interest in the business for which it works. We see it in the very scope of the inquiry by the industrial commission. We see it in primary laws and other efforts to make political institutions more responsive to the public will. Political institutions are developed and then grow rigid. Industrial organization, following the course of economic development, reaches a high degree of efficiency and tends to neglect the human element. Every other institution tends to follow the same course. It finally bqgins to think that it exists in and for itself; that a technically brilliant institution is the end and aim of social progress. Up to a certain point in the historical process this is true. Then comes the natural reaction. Then men come to feel that what is needed is a humanization of this highly efficient, highly necessary structure of institutions, in order that it may serve its fullest. noblest purpose. Then men come to realize that institutions are the framework of society, but that humanity is its body and soul. Then come such efforts as we see today all over this country all informed with the same spirit. During a long period of human development, when man was more or less primitive and unorganized, the primary need of society was institutions. Humanity was there In superabundant disquieting quantities, ever breaking against the least barrier. Today the institutional framework of political so'iety and industry has reached majestic proportions, and the great need is felt not for more or larger Institutions but for a bringing of existing Institutions into a closer relation with the needs and aspirations of men and women. In this great work the United States is committed by its origin and history to take the lead. And it is taking the lead, nobly and well. After developing a body of political institutions that constitute the greatest political triumph achieved by modern man. after achieving an organization of Industry that is unequaled, all classes of this country are now turning themselves, soberly and sincerely, to the work of reanimating these great creations with the spirit of a wide and true humanity.
