of Kentucky, having /been one of the
pioneer settlers hi the state. After the
civil war tin* Galloways moved Co

reer may he said to have begun.
Ho began at once to speclali/.e In
plant pathology, a subject In which
only one or two liiHthotlons In tile
United States wore then doing any
work. An offer of the place of assist

Galloway found four or live men work

nearly jSU.OOO.mXJ a year.
In U)Ut Dr. Galloway became assist
ant secretary of agriculture, an ap
pointment which was recognized at
the time as entirely devoid of political
slgUlBeanee. Here he again showed
his sympathy with the agricultural col
leges and state experiment stations.

been devoted to bringing the depart

Agricultural Iti- <
crease in Europe
Providence Journal: While the
United Kingdom is in no danger of
experiencing a food shortage, as long
os its navy retains the command of
the sea, the British people are paying
more attention to the agricultural
possibilities of their home territory
than they have manifested for many
years.
The “iconoclastic" speeches of
David I.loyd-Ceorge, chancellor of the
exchequer, some months ago, in
which he hinted at the reclaiming to
agriculture of game preserves in
England and, Scotland, sent cold'
shivers up the backs of many British
squires and masters of the hounds.
This crop-extension propaganda had
some effect, however.
Tip: Duke of Marlborough placed
1000 acres of his Blenheim estate un
der the plows, and many other land
owners increased their cultivated ac
reage. While the change has not
been n radical one, its effect is ap
parent in the returns of this year’s
wheat crop, now about all hinvested,
which is stated to be about 10 r*er
cent above the jivernge yield. The
yields of potatoes, beans tmd hops
lire plated to be also above the aver
age.
War is n forceful teacher of many
lessons. The present one mav cause
a sudden dovelonment of British ag
riculture beyond what would have
been possible bv< counsel and instruc
tion under normal conditions in a life
time.

Letter from
Dr. Slack
Member of Red Cross Staff in South
ern France.
The following letters from Dr.
Harry Slack, Jr., to his father will be
read with interest both for the in
formation as to conditions at the seat
of war and us a mutter of personal
gratification that this sterling young
man has been assigned to a post
where he enn he of great usefulness
professionally but will not be expos
ed to the dangers-of the immediate
seat of war.
Dr. Slack was foremost among a
large number of American physi
cians who volunteered for service on
the staff of the American Red Cross
early after the outbreak of the war.
He is one of the brightest and nobl-
iest boys that has ever grown up in
LaGrange, anil the news of his en
listment was received with feelings
of mingled pride and apprehension by
his friends and admirers here. As
will bo learned from these two let
ters, Dr. Slack Is stationed at Pau,
France, which is in the southern por
tion of that ill-fated country, near
the Swiss border and in sight of the
Pyrenees,

EDITOR’S NOTE:—The following
articles afford an example of the
frequent instances in which a news
paper is placed in an unsatisfactory
position.
Although privately owned, a news
paper is essentially a public servant,
und one of its duties is to conserve
the right of free speech. This does
not mean a complete waiver, however,
of its right to control the matter that
goes into its columns. To be of any
usefulness at all, a newspaper must
have u definite policy and convictions
of its own. Its circulation is largely
made up of those of harmonious
ideas, with a smaller proportion of
those who, while differing in some
points, remain subscribers for the
news service or to keep posted on all
sides of public questions.
One of the highest duties of a
newspaper is to advocate observance
of law and just dealings as between
men.
We feel thnt. we would have been
justified in declining these com
munications. Our contributor is not
a subscriber, and besides is closely
identified with another publication to
whom these articles would no doubt
be welcome.
Regardless of this, however, we
ha ye decided to accord the spuce ask
ed for, although the views expressed
are dmmelriiSiHy opposite our own.
The remarkable positions taken carry
with them their own best answer.

Whereas, The great masses of our |
people were induced to believe in, j
and to have faith in what was term- j
ed “A Great Democratic Adrrtinistriw ;
tion at Washington, D. C.,” which ,
would enact remedial legislation to |

panic; and
Whereas, The cotton growers are
now told that this “Great Democratic
Administration” has refused to enact
any measure favorable to the handl
ing of the distressed cotton, but has
given the power of finance into the
hands of a favored class of capitalists
—hundred* of million dollars turned
over to speculators; and
Whereas, This same “Great Demo
cratic Administration,” through its
senate and house has voted millions
of dollars to buy the silver miners'
product; and has voted millions of
dollars of our gold out of the United’
States Treasury with which to fin
ance American Grandees out of the
war zone in Europe; and has con
tinued to finance the most gigantic
whiskey trust known in the history
of our nation; and is continuing to
furnish huge sums of money to build
levees to protect middle western, far
mers from the floods of the Missis
sippi river; and is continuing to fin
ance irrigation schemes on hitherto
dessert lands located in doubtful
states; but has utterly failed, and
absolutely refused to appropriate one
dollar to relieve a section of country,
the people of which clothe a large
part of the world; and
Whereas, The “Great Democratic
Party” has received the support of a
“Solid South” for more than fifty
years; therefore, be it
Resolved, That wo condemn the
action, toward us, by this Democratic
administration, and refuse any longer
to support any man or sot of men,
or party which has repudiated our
■section of the country, as has Presi-

that we will no longer bo whipped

assart our independence, and vote for
men who will recognize the cotton

Whereas, Conditions have caught

Thomas A. Edison produced the first

in his laboratory at Menlo Park. N. J.
In 1880 an employee of the Edison
factory carried all the incandescent

Menlo Park to New York City In a
market basket on his arm. A year
later it was considered a wonderful
feat when the smull factory turned
out a thousand lamps a day. Today
the great. Edison lamp factory at
