You are overpowered by the grandeur and magnificence of the scene—that is the spirit of the harvest. You can hear the voice of nature calling you beck to the soll— that te opportunity knocking at your door. It te & good chance to spend & quiet hour in contact with the purity ‘and perfection of nature and to sweet- en your life with ite fragrance, elevate your ideals with its beauty and expand your imagination with its power. ‘These products as food are fit for ‘the gods, and as gn article of com merce they ought to bring tip-top prices oa any market in the world The products of the soll are teachers and preachers as well. Their beauty gives human Iife its first entertain. ment, their perfection stirs the genius fm artists; their purity furnishes mod- ‘els for growth of character and their marvelous echievements excite our curiosity and we inquire into the won- dertul process of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agricul- ture where nature is parading in her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfec- ton, let us pause and take a retro spective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful prod- ets are raised, they can seldom be marketed at « profit? Take the blush- ing Elberta, for example—they were fled to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion—the nation’s favorite Yegetable—every year rots by the sere in the Southwest for want of a market and as © result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cot- ton—nature's capitalist—often goes Deaging on the market at less than cost of production. It fe great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing “Dixie” and boast of the marvelous fertility of the soll and pride ourselves on our ability to master science, but it ts also well to remember that there te & market side to agriculture that does not refiect its hardships in the exhibits at a county fair. UNIVERSAL PEACE ‘This nation is now in the midst of ® controversy as to how best to pro- mote universal peace. That question we will leave for diplomats to dis- cuss, but peace within nations is no lees important than peace between nations and it ts heavily laden with Prosperity for every citizen withis cur commonwealth. Many leading politicians and ofttimes political platforms have declared war upon business and no cabinet crisis ever resulted. Many men have stood tm high places and hurled “gas bombs” ‘at industry; thrust bayonets into bus- inese enterprises and bombarded ag riculture with indifference. Party leaders have many times broken dip- lomatic relations with industry; sent political aviators spying through the Affaire of business, and political sub- marines have sent torpedoes crushing into the destiny of commerce. Dur- ing the past quarter of a century we have fought many = duel with prog: Fess, permitted many politicians to carry on & guerrilla warfare against civilization and point = pistol at the Beart of honest enterprise. No man should be permitted to cry out for universal peace until his reo ord has been searched for explosives. for no vessel armed or laden with munitions of war should be given a Clearance to sail for the port of Unt vVersal Peace. Let us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home, No man—especially if he te mar Yied—would deny woman any right she demands. Take the earth and sive us peace, but why does woman long for the ballot? ‘When ail is said and done, te not the selection of the butcher more im Dortast to the home than the election Of @ mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman s fir more important ‘event im the life of the children than the appointment of = postmaster; is ‘Rot the selection of books. for the family library more important than voting bonds for jail and court house? ‘Why does woman lay aside the im- portant things tn life? Why leave the wadstance and grasp at the shadow” Be it said to the credit of woman- ood that ft ie not, as s rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that wants to cast the ballot; it ie sot the mother who teaches ber chiidres. to say “Now I lay me down to sleep” thet haramgues the populace: it ts not the daughter who hopes to reign as queen over © happy home that longs for the uniform of the suffragette.
