Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A AT LAST. When on my day of life the niyht is fjlliiif;, And in the winds, from unsunned spaces blow n, I hear far voices of the darkness calling My feet to p.uhs unknown. Thou who Ini.d made my home ol life so pleasant, Leave nm its leiianl when iis walls decay; () I.nve Divine, O Helper ever present, lie Thou my strength and slay ! Ik near me when all else from me is drilling, lianh, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting The love which answers mine. I have bin Thee, my Lather ! let Thy spirit lie with me then 10 comfort and uphold; Nogaie of pearl, no branch of palm I merit, Nor streets of shining gold. Suffice il if my good and ill unreckoned, And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace I find myself by hands familiar beckoned Unto my fitting place. Some humble door among Thy many mansions, Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease, And flows forever through heaven's green expansions The river of Thy peace. There, from the music round about me stealing, I fain would learn the new and holy song, And find at last beneath Thy trees of healing The life for which I long. John G. Vhiitier. THE LAND HE HAS CONE TO. " ROBLRT J. I watch the sunset as I look out over the rim of the blue Pacific, and there is no mystery beyond the horizon, because I know what is over there. I have been there. I have journeyed in those lands. Over there where the sun is just sinking is Japan. That star is rising over China. In that direction lie the Philippines. I know all that. W ell, there is another land that I look toward as I watch the sunset. I have never seen it. I have never seen any one who has been there, but it has a more abiding reality than any of these lands which I do know. This land beyond the sunset this land of immortality, this fair and blessed country of the soul why, this heaven of ours is the one thing in the world which I know with absolute, unshaken, unchangeable cer tainty. This 1 know with a knowledge that is never shadowed by a passing cloud of doubt. 1 may not always be certain about this world; my geographical locations may sometimes become contused, but the other world that 1 know. And as the afternoon sun sinks lower, faith shines more clearly and hope, lifting her voice in a higher key, sings the voice of fruition. My work is about ended, I think. The ; best of it I have done poorly; any of it 1 might have done better, but I ! have done it. And in a fairer land, with finer material and a belter i working light, I will do better work. FEDERAL By Peter Radford. The recent Investigation of the United States Commission of Indus trial Relations brought together the extremes of Bcclety und has given the public an opportunity to view the rep resentatlvcs of distinct classes, bide by side, nnd to study their views in parallel columns Capital and labor have always been glaring ul each other over gulfs of misunderstanding and If the Federal Industrial Commission attempts to bridg? the chasm, it will render the public a distinct service. The farmer has been sitting on the fence watching capital and labor tight for many years and Incidentally furn ishing the sineuB of war and it is quite gratifying to find them talking with, instead of about, each other. When honest men smllo and look .nto each other's souls, It always makes the world better and far more satis factory to the farmer, who in the end. bears the burden of conflict, than resolutions, speeches or pamphlets containing charges and counter charges. Tim love for Justice makes the whole world kin. Understanding la an arbiter far more powerful than Ihe mandates of government, for there Is no authority quite so commanding as an honest conscience; there Is no de cree quite bo binding as that of the Supreme Court of Common Sense and no sheriff can keep the peace quite so perfect as Understanding. We suppose the time will never come when capital and labor will not be occasionally blinded by the light ning flashes of avarice or frightened by t!ic thunder poala dljroatfnt. Hut Understanding is a l'rlnco of 1'cnce that ever holds out the olive branch to men who want to do right. A man's Income is always a sacred thing for In It are the hope, ambition and opportunity of himself, und fam lly, but there Is nothing hi a hum, in b. ait quite so divine us Justice and I 1 a- .'. lee.ling is Its handmaid, n RNJOVHI) A JOKR.

Much has been said and more writ tea about the evils ot watered stock In big business concerns and the farm ers of this nation believe that every dollar written Into tho life of any business organization, should be able to say "1 know that my Redeemer liveth," but farming 1b the biggest business on earth, and there 1b more water in Its financial transaction than that of any other Industry. There is u much water in a farmer s note drawing eight or ten per cent Interest when other Hues of Industry secure money for four or five per cent per t annum, us there is in a buslucBs pay- : lug a reasonable compensation upon the face value of securities repre- l seining an investment of only fifty cents on the dollar. The only dlf fer. nce Is, the water is in the Intuiesi rate la one instance and in the secur ities In the other. Tho promoter of ttlmes takes chances and his success Is contingent upon tho development of the property In volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes no chances and his success cripples the property involved. There may be Industries that cry louder but none that Buffer more severely from finan cial Immorality In both law and cus tom than that of agriculture. The farmers of America today are paying J200.0ii0.0u0 per annum In usury on real estate and chattel loans, and this interest capitalized at llvo per cent, represents $4,000,000, 000 of flctlthife values which the farm er la paying interest on. This sum ot money Is almost equal to the annual value of crops produced In the United States. The earning power of tho farmer's noto based upon his Interest rate very nearly divides Ukeg the earth's aur frc" three feur'hs water and one fourih land. The largest body of wa ter that floats upon the financial hem Isphero now resta upon the farms and Its waves are dashing and Its billows are rolling against seven mil lion homes threatening ruin and dis aster to the prosperity of tho nation. Will our public servants who under stand how to drain the liquid off In dustrial properties turn the faucet and lot the water off the farms? It is an admitted econonilo fact that there can be no permanent prosperity without a permanent agriculture Agriculture Is recognized u the greatest of all Industries and a pros perous progressive and enlightened agricultural population is the surest safeguard of civilization HER AMENDMEM.
