An editorial condemns tainted politics driven by personal gain and party machine rule. It argues political corruption harms industry and public welfare, praises farm and rural leaders as a cure, and urges broad farmer banker merchant election to legislatures to restore justice and accountability.
Peter Radford warns against watered stock in agriculture noting farmers pay high usury on loans while investment returns misprice real value. He argues real prosperity requires strong, permanent agriculture and disciplined fiscal practices to drain excessive water from farm finance.
A lecture or editorial argues that fires result from carelessness not fate and that preventing hazards before they start can lower fire insurance costs. It stresses disciplined habits and premises management to avoid the fire demon and its costly consequences.
The article argues for equal education opportunities by standardizing terms across rural and urban schools. It notes city terms average 185 days while rural terms average 138 days, with some states far higher or lower. It cites Rhode Island at 190 days and California New York Connecticut near 180, urging at least 185 days for all children.
An article by T N Garver argues for rural chamber of commerce style bodies like Germanys landwirtschaftskammern. He urges local farmer leaders to unite to study opportunities, improve rural credit, and plan capital use openly to boost production and profits rather than work in isolation.
W D Lewin of Texas Farmers' Union argues against woman suffrage while praising her in part. He claims progress elevates woman but warns against any move to “drag her down” and likens her decline to a setting sun that darkens civilization, predicting catastrophe as she departs from power.
The article asserts deafness cannot be cured by local applications and argues only constitutional reflection can restore hearing. It describes inflamed Eustachian tube as the cause and offers a dubious cure for a hundred dollars.
A bold comparison frames the rubber tire versus the iron tire as a pivotal national contest shaping future transportation. The piece traces history from Stephenson’s steel tire in 1814 to Promontory Point, arguing rubber’s continental sprint over iron due to roadbed and public highways, envisioning a dramatic shift in urban planning and governance from coast to coast.
An editorial discusses the Federal Industrial Commission’s role in bridging labor and capital divides. It argues understanding, not mandates, can foster peace between classes, noting a farmer’s stake amid mining and wages, and praising justice and conscience as guiding forces over conflict.
