MOVING PI0TDRE8
To show lOO.OCO farmers that it Is
practical to desert the little old one-
room ungraded school (n the country.
Especially in the well settled states,
and substitute the rural high school,
with its manual training, domestic
science and sgriculture departments
the Departments of Agriculture has
devised • novel scheme. These schools
have been developed to a high degree
of efficiency in many parts of the
country, the children and young peo-
ple taken home each uvening over
well established routes.
According to Willet M. Hayes, As-
sistant Secretary of Agriculture, the
plan works—wherever it lies been
tried no farmer would have his chil-
dren return to the little old school
which pioneered for education in every
t>late of the union. But Mr. Ilays is
tn enthusiast over tbe possibilities
of consolidation and broadening the
courses in the country and during the
coming season, as soon as school op-
ens, the department will make almost
2,000 feet of film showing school
children being picked up in the car-
riages, going to school, arriving at
the big buildings, In the class rooms,
boys making things of wood and steel;
girls cooking and sewing; classes of
the agriculture department selecting
seed corn and studying animal in-
dustry.
The pictures are to be shown for
the first time at the National Corn
Exposition In Omaha in addition to
the big eshlbit which the department
is to . bring to Omaha from Seattle
howing the work of the various
bureaus. —Oklahoma F:irm Journal.
'1 have signed the Payne tariff bill
because I believe it to be the result of
■locere effort on the part of the
Republican barty to make a downward
revision, and to comply wtth the prom-
ises of the platform as they are gen
eraily understood, and as I interpre-
ted them In the campaign before the
election,"
There have beeu a greit number of
real decreases in rates and they con
stltute a sufficient amount to justify
the statement that his bill is a sub-
santiai downward revision, and a re
duction of excessive rates."
The above statement Is credited to
President Taft. And what a cheap
statement it is. He speaks of a "sin-
cere effort on the part of the republi-
can party to make a downward re-
Tision.' Instead of a sincere effort
why was it not an accomplishmentV
One would think from the language
of Mr. Taft that there was opposition
to a downward revision of the tariff
outside the republican party. Tha
opposition did not come from the
democrats. Where did It come from—
„A sincere effort on tbe part of the
rebubllcan party," The president
shows himself a very cheap politicau
when he makes such a statement. He
wiii hoi succeed himself in offices.—
Wave—democrat.

POLITICAL PARTIES DETERIORAT-
ING
It is doubtful If there ever has been
another era in American politics
where tbe principals and aims of the
two great National Parties have sunk
to so low a level as at the present.
Just how much depth and sincerity
there is in our political life cau be
readily seen by looking over tbe pol-
itical history of one short year.
Last year the republicans pledged
themselves to revise the tarifl down-
wards.
After the election they make tbe
tariff stiffer, increasing duties all a-
round and coolly present to the people
a measure, more iniquitous and ob-
jectionable than the one that It Is
found necessary to supercede. Last
jfar, at the national convention, the
Democratic party demanded the re.
peal of the tariff on wood pulp, print
paper and lumber and that these
articles be placed in the free list. In
the vote on this measure tbe Dem-
ocratic Senators contributed 16 of the
20 votes that defeated it. Surely this
is sterling tiibute to the efficacy of
political pledges and protestation.
Democratic Senators carrying high
protection still higher over the oppo-
sition of the independent Hepubplicans
of the Middle West! And the worst of
is, that, this is not individual treason
on the psrt of these Democrats that
have so cynically abandoned all prten-
ence of party principles. It actually
represents the mature thought of the
entire South. In that welter of huck-
stering' haggling and buldozing for
governmental fafors they are deter-
mined to get their share of ,'pork."
Contrast our attitude, sickened with
these sordid squabbles, with the hope-
ful outlook for constructive political
reform in Europe—notably, Great
Britian. When that great English
statesman, Lloyd-George declared he
was presenting to Parliament a War
iludget, representing an implaca
ble war againt proverty he thrilled
the whole expanse of the English
speaking world. The result is that
Americaus that take an intelligent
interest in politics are Jiore interested
In the course of affairs in England
thau they are at home. If the im
portauce and iufuence of the subjects
are measured there is ample justiii,
catiou for such preference.
The Liberal)Party committed to the
taxation of land Aalues, means a new
dvelopement in what the Germans
call "world politics." It Is obvious to
everyone,and can ueed no demotistrat
(on, that by the progress of society' its
growth of population, demand for
food, etc., the land acquires a spon-
taneous increase in independent of
any expenditure of the labor or niouey
of the owner upon it It. is just becom-
ing apparent to the multitude that
this constitutes a grave social danger
and political menace! Clearly, the
larger the rent demanded by the laud-
owner, the less there is to divide be
tween capital . ud labor. As this rent
continues to grow with the increasing
rapidity, it follows that the products
of capital and labor fall more and
more to the landowner,
who does absolutely nothing to
deserve the increase. Society, alone
ir constantly making the laud more
and more valuable, yet this increased
value instead of beuitlting those who
create It, really injures them and
proves an obstacle to their material
prosperity, besides being the prolific
cause of innumerable social evils.
It is the realization of this great so-
cial and moral principle that has trans-
formed and united the flreat Liberal
Party. A year ago it was considered
a series of disorganized uuits In the
process of dlsntegralion. Today It is
prosecuting an aggressive light with
the enthusiasm fervor and inten-
sity of a crusade.
All over our country there are signs
of political unrest and the reforming
along new political lines that presage
important political developments
Men with bralus and character, men
worth anything, are tired or tightiug
sham political battles like the one nov. :
to progress at Washington. 'lhr
world has become so small, and the
and the relations between this couutry
and England are so intimate and dir-
ect, that we will soon be talking the
taxtitiou of land values. If tha
Democratic Party is to live it must
follow tbe policy of the
Liberal Party of which, it Is prac-
tically the American counterpart. Not
to do so means to be false to its prin-
ciples and its teachings, to sin its day
of grace, and to Smile and merit po
litlcal destructiu.j

Here's what one man did: He made out a bill to a mail-

WORKERS OPPOSE WAR
Tbe opposition of t^e masses in
Spain to the war with the Moorish
tribesmen is not peculiar to that coun-
try. The Spanish workingmen are
opposing the war because they claim
ths>t it is being w ged in the interest
of capitalists who are working rich
mining concessions in the vicinity of
Melilla on the coast of Morocco. A
similar sentiment regarding wars, that
they are generally waged for the bene-
fit of the wealthy classes, is growing a-
mong the workingmen of other Euro-
pean countries, and it has spread also
to this continent. Recently the labor
council of Toronto, Canada, went on
record against war and in favor of unl
versal strikes to prevent it. The ad-
vooetes of the resolution declared that
a tacit understanding existed between
the workingmen of England and Ger-
many 'o go on a general strike in the
event that the two countries engaged
in a war. This understanding is so
widespread in both countries that or-
ganized workingmen believe a strike
would be wholly effective in such a
case. They say that every industry,
public and private, would be brought
to r standstill,thus thoroughly paralyz-
the energies of both governments.
Singularly enough, Mr. John W.Gates,
the eminent financier, who has recent-
ly returned from a tour of Europe,
confirms this view, although doubtless
he has not heard of it in any tangible
form. Speaking of the much talked of
war, Mr. Gates expressed the opinion
that there was not one chance in a 1,000
it would come to pass, for the reason
that however much the politicians may
wrangle the masses in both countries
are too strongly opposed to the idea
The Toronto labor council is taking
steps to spread its propaganda of
strikes as a preventive of wars in this
country and abroad Concerted action
is to be brought about among organiz-
ed workingmen throughout the world,
The gist of the resolution adopted by
the council consists in the declaration
that inasmuch as most of the wars of
the past were commercial wars, either
for the possession of new territory or
new trading rights, and as those wars
were in the interest of the wealthy
classes and paid for generally with the
lives of workingmen, the workers are
opposed to the enormous expenditures
for warlike purposes by the first-class
nations, and therefore a universal
agreement should be established be-
tween the workers of Europe and
Ameria whereby the danger of war
might be averted, either by their refus
al to fight, or by a general strike of
labor in countries about to fight.—K.
