MUCH DEPENDS ON SUPREMACY OF AGRICULTURE. - (Written Specially For The Bulletin) | I don’'t know but I shall “get myself m bad” with some of the young folks by falking 2 bit about ome of the old folks. It is unquestionably a risky thing to do. At a certain age in both sexes the. feeling.is pretty strong thIT their elders are stmply old fogies ani spoil-sports; neither as intelligent, nor as open-minded, nor as capable as themselves -of - the - on-coming- generation. The man who lived fifty years ago they regard as merely a ‘“has-been”; the man who lived a hundred years ago might as well' never: have existed,” so far as they concern themselves about him. You aad I, fellow veteran, ocan re- member, if we try hard enough, when we felt very much the same way. Some of us have got over it; some perhaps, have not. 1 confess, for one, that It wasn’t, till after my hair had grizzled that [ took mueh interest in the fath- ers and forefathers. But now, when Tve come to see how that wonderful, rainbyw-arched Future is just a re-hash of the equally wonderful Past, 'm be- ginning to haul in a few of my horns and admit willingness to learn from those who have' gone before. Chance recenily put in my hand seme of the preserved work of Thomas Jef- ferson. Of course, I had always known that Jefferson was quite a fellow. But my acquaintance with him was of the vaguest. Beyond the fact that he wrote the Declaration of Independence, was member of the continental con- gress, and twice president of the United States, I couldn’t have told you much about him. As for supposing that any- thing he could have said or written, 'way back a century and a quarter: ago, woul have any special interest for us of 1922 or any bearing on our problems—why no, of course not. But when I came to read him ever, 1 changed my tunme, I sat right in my chair and took notice that g 'was a miighty shrewd and foreseeing person. He never pretended to any gift of propheey. But he was a sharp ob- server of that human nature which seems to have been pretty much th® same thing in his day as in ours. Given the arc of the circle which human na- +will alter. Our rulers will become. cor- Tupt, our people careless. It can never be too often repeated that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal' basis s while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united. . From the conclusion of this war - (the Revolution) we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to people “ for support. - They will be £ gotten, therefore, and their rights dis regarded. They will forget themselve: but in the sole faculty of making money.” Photography was unknown in T. Jef- ferson’s time. But could any modern camera print ouc a sharper outlined pic- ture of America in this twentieth cen- tury than that? Ome more quotation and I'm through on that line. Here s a little remini; cence, written by Jefferson in his later years, which tells something I'm sure a good many of us never knew, and points a moral cen.xhfly as ml'ra.bh to the congress of 1922 as te that of 1800: “1served with General Washington in the legislature of Virginia, before the Revolution, and, during it, Franklin in congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at & time, nor to any but the main point’ which was to decide the question. the present congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in 4| body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade is to question everything, yield noth- ing, and talk by the hour? That one hundred and fifty lawyers should do business together ought not to be ex-| pected.” The three mep probably most influ- ential in founding our government and _starting it off on its test trip; werc | Washington and Franklin, to whom- Jef- ferson refers in this manner, ferson himself. He doesn't say what his own habits in oratory were, but from the fact -that he manifeslly =% mires the directness and brevity of his| two compeers, he wasn't himself. What would he have said, d've g'poss, it may be assumed that given to long-windedness, to the L | | withDr.| 1| and Jef-! ‘That’s why you are assured that every package of Lipton’s Instant Cocoa will be fresh,rich,full-flavor- edandnutri ith its flavor eall inside the package.

There’s no use shutting our eves io the fact that, in some states, that su- premacy already is a thing of the past. The thoughtful and patriotic minority in the big cities will agree that is a bad omen, just as you and I do, an¥ &x Jefferson did a century ago.

Furthermore, he had—what s rare today—the courage and the sagac- ity to set down some of these forecasts.! Tve been so struck with some of them ' that I want to pass them on to you. Take the following, for instaNes, Wrhich Jefferson Wrote more than a hundred years ago: “Our people will remain virtuous so long as agriculture is our principal ob- ject, which will be the case while there remain yacant lands in .America. When we get piled on oné another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall go to eat- ing each other as they do there.” Eh, brother? Pretty good sue:aer was T. Jefferson, was he not? Doesn't® that ‘“eating each otlfer” about describe the condition of things in a country where New York city and Chicago and Detroit and Philadelphia, etc., etc., have taken -the leadership once held on farms and plantations? The “vacant lands” are praetieally’ used up. Our population is being rap- { ldly “piled on one another in large cit- fes” " And the principal. oecupation of practically all. big. business, as begotten' and. nurtured in these cities, is “eatimg| each other,”—with spcial appetite for| the people outside whose “principal ob-| ject” is still agriculture. Today in bus- iness, in politics, and almost every oth- er way, we are a mob of Ishmaelites wherein every man's hand is against every other man, . And Thomas Jefferson, basing his forecast for the future upon his keen observation of men and things in the past, drew - the pisture of 1922 as clearly and accurately and much more tersely than any present day economist could do. Here is another slightly lomger ex- tract, written while the Revolutionary war was in progress: “The -spirit of the times may after, | | and Reed, et al? What would he have thought of a Congressional Record run- ning into millions of words and filling {hugt quartos for each session: Of a Record which is crammed from title- page to finis with an interminable flood of talkee-talkee, and only sparsely dot- ted, here and there, with an occasional oasis of accomplishment? Come, now, youngster with your ex- aggerated admiration for the present as contrasted with the past, do you really think the present congress at Washington i3 an improvement . over that early one whose admitted leauers were never heard to speak so much as “ten minutes at a time?” And then only to the main_ point? We have surely gone a long road since Jefferson's day. Whether it has always been the right road, or even the best road in an emergency, may be sub- ject for differing opinion. The that impresses me, as I read that statesman's words, is the shrewd com- mon sense with which he read the i ture from the past and his ou!vpoken- ness in setting forth the way we were going. I have quoted just three instan might quote three score, had I and sufficient confidence in ; your pa- tience. Of course, we farmers can’t help but be specially interested in the first quo- tation, that.onc about the relations of an agricultural people and those of a city-dwelling people to their goverme ment. We talked about it some weeks ago, you'll remember.. At that time I had the feeling that some of you would regard me as reactionary if not really old-fogyish. Now, I'm somewhat en- couraged and a bit stuck-up to find that Thomas Jefferson long ago held _very. much the same idea. That idea to m it in plain words, that the stability our institutions and the permanenTtc thing |lance or weakened in | wherein shall we find excuse for poast- ing of any superior virtue or ability? You remember the famous French- man's stinging conclusion: “The more I know of men, the better T like dogs.” As for me, I own up that the more 1 know of Washinston gnd Franklin and Jefferson and their compeers of the continental congress; the more I wish that some of their successors hadn't been born!
