Mefoi-e jumping at conclusions
it is well for the farmer to con
sider what has happened and is
happening. The larilT wall is
crumbling before the demands of
a tariff-taxed and tariff-tired peo
ple who have at last made their
terms clear in the halls of con
gress. Vetoes may delay, but
vetoes cannot override the will of
the people. The attack on the
farmer in the terms of the Can
adian pact was cold-blooded and
brutal. No one should make the
tactical blunder of upholding the
waning power of those who plan
ned and executed this act of
political de-polism. Our interests
lie,' now
those who will reduce the taruT
schedules at every possible point.
not with those who would seek to
estore a protection which is the
hadow of the real thing, in order
that they mav tax him and his
liiblrt-n after him for the benefit
of Hig Business. What we want
is a square deal, and the less of
tarilf-t inkering there is between
maker and buyer the more neurit
will we get it. Smash the tariff!
Vole independently of party for
men whom you know will strike
it. and hit it hard!
Although Mr. Taft was riot lo

the fact remains that an entire

DESIRABLE MOVEMENT.
The cost of living is now high
o high, in fact, as to be the
c m-e of general complaint.
No b'-s an authority than
H.-nry Wallace, president of the
National Conservation congress
a'ld the faniou- farm publisher i
lie- Moines, Iowa, thinks that :
will continue so indefinitely.
Say what we will, give what -ever
elaborate explanation of it
that we may. there are not
enough people on the farm rai.--
mg f 1 supplies for themselves
and the great non-producinr
multitude-, in the cities.
The high cost of living is
caiwd. therefore, by the slow
progress of that long-desired
movement of back to the farm.
This movement, commended by
political economists, extolled by
orators, and urged by the press, is
characterized more by the breach
than by the observance.
Despite all the eloquent advice,
the census figures show that the
city population continues to in
crease rapidly, while the rate of
increase in the country is de
creasing in proportion.
Commenting on this tendency
and the fact that it is likely to
be permanent, in a speech before

.ml henceforth, with 1 riceni mceung oi uie con
gress at Kansas City, Mr. Wallace
said:
"Science has separated the pro
ducers far from the consumers.
I'ntil there are enough persons on
the farms to till the soil so it will
produce enough to support the
demand of the consumers in the
cities, the high prices will con
I in ue. I do not look for this con
dition to come soon."
So well was this fact recog
nized by the congress that it de
voted a considerable portion of its
time to the discussion of the best
plans for promoting the back-to-t
he-farm movement and for loan
ing farm life so attractive to the
country boy and girl by means of
organization of community cen
ters for athletic, social and
cultural activities, that they will

NATURAL RESOURCES.
The dispatches have given hut
a meauer idea of what occurred at
the con -ci-vat ion congress at
Kansas Citv. vet conservation of
natural resources is one of th
greatest proiiieuis trial lias ever
been brought before mankind. As
soon a a man starts' to investi
gate it, be he scientist or layman,
he is appalled by the vastness am
importance of the question. How
very near some ot the nations are
to the exhaustion of some of the
natural resources of the earth
resources upon which the per
petuity of the race depends was
staled by Sir William Ramsey to
the Itritisb Science Could. An
exhaustive scientific measure
ment of the coal still remaining
in Kngland had been made, and
the report was lo the effect that
it could not possibly last longer
than 175 years at the present rate
of consumption. Hut the rate of
consumption, is constantly in
creasing. Between 1905 and
1907 the amount of coal mined in
the inited Kingdom increased
from 236 to 208 million tons. If
that is maintained, England will
be without coal in less than 100
years. But long before that time,
as the quantity decreases, the
price will rise, and when prices
rise, owing to the approaching
exhaustion of supplies, the
population will be face to face
with misery and famine.
The population of F.ngland can
only be maintained by the enor
inous consumption of coal in its
factories making poods that are
sold all over the world. The Is
land only produces enough food
lo support the population for 90
days out of the year and it must
manufacture goods and sell them
to nations that produce a surplus
of food supplies.
. The question of conservation
here is a serious one. Our tim
ber supply is fat disappearing,
and while our coal .supply is
vastly superior to that of F.ng-
