i 0 TH TS Wa TTT A I ” THE FARMER'S COLUMN LIMING CAN BE DONE NOW “Many farmers who find no time for doing the work of the farm at the time or in the manner they would like to do it, must do the best they can with the limited amount of labor avail- able,” says J. T. Campbell, farm advis- er of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, “I have met many farmers during the past season who wish to use lime on their land, but were so crowded with their work that liming could 1 t be done. To such, let me recommend hauling the lime during the nice days of late autumn after the rush of crop- ping ig over. If the lime is hauled ani applied to the land at this time. It wil! be in readiness for next season’s crops. The fields are generally dry and solid at this season and the lime can be- spread as hauled, right on the sod or other land needing it. It will be plow- ' ed down at the next plowing and its full benefit may not be realized till it is plowed up again, but the fact that it can be applied at this time, when | otherwise there is not time for apply- | ing it, will offset the slight loss that | may take place. ! “I would prefer to haye the lime ap- plied to the plowed land and workad in, but in the = rush of seeding time ' this is frequently out of the question. Most of us cannot farm as we would like to farm but must farm as we can. Many of those who weuld feign advise the farmer in his work know little of the conditions confronting the man in the fields. Get the lime and apply it ‘when other work is not pressing, it will be profitable.” SEED CORN SELECTED “In large areas of this State very little corn has fully ripened and unless care is exercised in the selection of | ears on stalks which are sufficiently | ripe to produce ga strong plant, or in the selection of stalks on which the ears are fully developed, though they may be only ripe enough to make early silaze, there will be a serious shortage in seed corn,” says Franklin Menges, farm adviser of the Pennsyl- : vania Department of Agriculture. “If these not fully ripened stalks are cut close to the greund and are The Clubby Smoke —“Bull” Durham You start something lively when you produce “Bull” Dutham in a crowd of live-wires and stars “rolling your own”.

Your are warned against me, but you heed not. tion as rhiladelphia, Oct. nave been stirred by the . words of Colonel Roosevelt in his night. It was the strongest address the former president del vered si:ce he declared in favor of the election of Mr. Hughes on the Republican ticket. Among laboring men it was received as a declaration, not only in their favor, but as an exposire of the unfairness, labor enmity, and general ‘deception of the Wilson ad- ministration toward the men who toil for a living. Colonel Roosevelt's friendship to the cause of labor has never been questioned. During his administra- tion as president his sympathies were always toward the laboring classes, and, as will be rememberel, at times he went far beyond any other chief executive in righting the wrongs that were being afflicted upon working men. His intervention into the anthra- eite coal strike, his insistence that an arbitration board be named to set- tle the trouble, and finally his noti- fication to the world that unless the coal companies would agree to arb’- trate the trouble, the coal mine: might be seized in order to avert th: goal famine that was menacing the entire eastern section of the Unite? States, made his speech at Wilkes Barre on Saturday night particularly appropriate, for that city ‘was the very heart of the coal crisis fourteen sears ago. Consequently, Colone! Roosevelt's words were accepted, not as mere utterances of one who prom- ises and does not fulfill, but rather, as statements and opinions baced upon actual experiences and accom- plishments. t In the very beginning of his speech at Wilkes-Barre, Colonel Roosevelt said that he was proud of the fact that he held a Union card, beinz a member of the Brotherhood. He fol- lowed with the statement that h= he: lieves in Tabor unions, when Jlab-r unions are right: hut he believes first of all in the Trion to which all nf us belone—the Unicn of all of the people of the United States. Arbitrary Legislation Bill. The contention of the-Democrats that Mr. Wilson, in standing for the Adamson bill, stood for an eight- hour day bill, was disputed by Colo- nel Roosevelt. He pointed out thst though he believes in an eigh*hour day, he does not believe in arbi‘rary legislation to raise wages in any in- dustry under the eight-hour cloak. According to the former preside-t Mr. Wilson should have stood by the honor and the interests of the United States in this railroad dispute; he should have insisted upon a full in- vestigation before action; he c<h-uld have insisted upon arbitration; 2nd if he had announced his determina- tion to call upon the entire power of the United States to keep the arteries of traffic open, in the event of an at- tempt to tie up traffic, there would be general commendation for the president instead of country-wide in- dignation and protest. Continuing along this line, Colonel Roosevelt said, “But to take such action needed courage. it needed disinterestedness. It was necessary that the man taking it should put duty to the nation fi:st and political and’ personal considera- tiors last What President Wilson did was to permit the overriding of justice by appeals to brute force. “He (Wilson) says that it would have been ‘futile’ to show courage and stand up for the right. Frm the standpoint of the nation, the worst type of futility in a president is to fail to stand up for the right. Progi- dent Wilson felt it was futile to op- ose these men, exactly as President uchanan, his spiritual forbear, felt in 1860, that it was futile, to oppose secession. That type of futility gives the real measure of the man who prac- tices it. What Buchanan consider:d futile Lincoln made heroic. “I champion Mr. Hughes as against Mr. Wilson because in every s' ch crises Mr. Wilson, by his public acts, has shown that he will not yield to justice; whereas the public acts of Mr. Hughes have proved him to be in- capable of yielding in such a crisis to any threat, whether made by poli- ticians, corporations or labor Iead- ers.” Stands for Better Wage. Great applause greeted Colonel Roosevelt when he gave an exposition of how he stood in the past for the rights of labor. Speaking along these lines, he said: I am relentless: I am everywhere; ! in the home, on the street, in the faec- tory, at railroad crossings and on the sea. I bring sickness, degredation and | death, and yet few seek to avoid me. I destroy, crush and maim; I give! nothing, but take all.

The only way we can settle them right is by delib ra- tion, after all the facts have been put before a disinterested and competent body, and the judgment of that bo ly obtained thereon.” Not Real Convictions. How Wilson has changed his plans against his rcal convictions for the sake of politics was shown by Colonel Roosevelt when he pointed to declar:- tions made by the present chief execu- tive before he had any thought of reaching the White House. Colonel Roosevelt's words were as follows: “There is grave reason to believe that in the course President Wilson has followed he did violence to his own real convictions. Until he be- came a candidate for office, he was a bitter, ungenerous and often unjust critic of labor unions. I have befors me speeches and letters of his m de and written in 1905, 1907 and 1909, in which Mr. Wilson says among other things that ‘labor unions drag the highest man down to the level of the lowest,” and in speaking of the cap - talistic class, he says that ‘thers is another equally formidable enemy and it is that class formed by ihe lab leaders of this country,’ and ag.in, ‘lI am a fierce partisan of the op'n shop,” and again, ‘The usual stanca d of the employe in our day is t) give as little as le can for his wages. Labor is standardized by trade un- ions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. need not point out how economically di as‘rous such regulation of labor is. Our e-o- nomic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants.’ These were the utterances of Mr. Wilson when he was president of a university and had neither fear of nor desire to profit by the labor vote. In Mr. Wilson’s ‘History of the American People, Le explicitly stated that the Chinese ought not to be excluded from tis country because it is better to have them here than it is to hav: fhe im- migrants we now get from Europe. His words were: ‘The Chinese are more to be desired as workmen than most of the coarse crew that come crowding in everywhere at the east- ern ports.” Now he turns round and says: ‘Our gates must be kept open’ to those whom he thus denominated a ‘coarse crew.” Since he went into politics he has again and again, in- cessantly and continuously, reversed himself on what he had professed to be his deepest convictions prior to entering politics, and in each case the announced change of convicti.n agreed with what at the moment seem- ed to be his political interest.” Farmer and Laboring Man.

I stand for that division now. But there must "be something to divide, or nobody will get anything, “I ask you to look back onlv two short years. Mr. Wilson was inauzu- ra‘ed as president three years ago last spring. He and his party imme- diately passed a low tariff law. TUn- der it government receipts fell off so alarmingly that there was a great de- ficit which had to be met by a spe- cial tax. This was later called a war tax; but it was not due to the war at all; the decrease in receipts was prior to the war, it was a deficiency tax, pure and simple. As some one pointed out at the time, Canada had a war with no tax; whereas we had a tax with no war. It was purely a deficiency tax. Business ‘Went to Pieces. “During the first eigh!een months of this administrati-n the national b-g'- Bos went tp - , thie sidinTs on t ‘@ railroads were j-mmed with empty cars, and tha ~rmhe of em=loy~+ in ‘e"ery rreat industry crew to appa'l ng dimensions. 1 -pe~k hee of wha 1 personally know; {for less than two years a=o I had to take aa act ve part in New York in measu-e-: *0 re- lieve the uremnloved. 1 then SAW municipal lodging hors 3 cr -wdad to overflowing with people desir u of working, who could not get anv Werk, and who did not have enough m ney to pay for tne poorest lodging o- the cheapest meals. The wnem-1 veqj were numbered not by the thou~ands, but the scores of thousands; ani I was in active correspondence w'th men and women in other cities, Chi- cago, Detroi‘ and Philadelphia, w ere the conditions were just as bad as in New York. Every kind of provi ion had to be made, by private char ties and by the public authorities, in or- der to care fer the multitude of peo- ple who wished to work but who were in dire want because there was no work. The misery was widespread. For instance, the board of health of New York, had to pass a special reso- lution allowing the ealing of h-rse meat (I think the exact phrase-l-gy gave permission to fatten old hor:es for slaughter and food), because every effort had to be made to” give those out of work the cheapest food that would sustain life. Remember that those times were normal. There was then no war. We were at peace. We were simply experiencing the normal results of legislative action under Mr. Wilson and the Democratic adm nis- tration.” Emphasized Important Fact. Concluding his wonderful speech, Colonel Roosevelt emphasized the fact that it does not pay the laboring man to ask or receive from public officals that to which they are not entitl :d. He said no American citizen could afford to put the stamp of his ap. proval on any law supposed to be passed for the benefit of anybody without investigation. “I ask any men who are tempted to approve of the politician, big or little, whom they think has helped them by doing wrong in their interest, to remember that the man who for his profit does wrong in your interest will just ag unhesitating- ly do wrong against your interest, if ever he thinks it to his profit to do so.” The final words of Colonel Roose- velt were: “This is a gcod -nle to remember, for laboring men, farmers, profession- al men, business men, for all citizens of the United States, in d-aling with their public servants. If a public serv- ant will do wrong to please any par- ticular class, it may be taken as ab- {solutely certain that he will do wrong the type of man who was willihg t) i S called - i t ! i i es i Je 1 De heao ¥ tn sD doing 50, he calle “tte ti n to the against the interest of that particular I would never have dared to st ni necessity for a protective tariff rn the | class whenever it becomes to his own by vou when you wer= right, against Statute books of th> United States. profit to do so.” — pee PROPOSED THE CONST TO THE CI MONWEALT PROVAL OR GENERAL COMMONWE VANIA, ANC 'DER OF T "THE COMM!
