They do not form a compact group, as do the workers in a particular branch of industry. CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS Then, many farmers are specialists.

But the farmers are organizing in spite of the difficulties. Coing of money for political purposes, and the newspapers have so gotten into the habit of calling all political funds slush funds, that operative associations reporting to the department of agriculture at he end of 1925 had a total membership of 2,700,000, more than the public is in dangeer of being misled into the belief that.it three times as many as in 1915. Some of these memberships were immoral tq donate money to a political party, and immoral for a duplicated. But almost a third of the farmers are now engaged in paity to spend money S A L Payable In Advance po-itic- Nothing could be farther from the truth. All good Americans regardless of party, disapprove of money given or spent for corruption in politics. On this point there is no argument. But because some money has been used corrupt does not mean that all money donated for campaign purposes and spent by the great political parties during the campaign, is sluih money. . It is to be remembered that the two great political parties are made up of the rank and file of our people everywhere. They are a part of our representative system of government and without them we could not have a real republic. The Republican party and the Democratic party have stood for certain prinThese principles embrace certain ciples since their organization. differences of opinion between groups of honest Americans. And there are constantly new problems coming up on which the two parties must take a stand. It is not only the right, therefore, but the duty of the Republican and Democratic organizations, to present their side of the case to the American people. And aside from the outcroppings of a few demagogues here and there, occasionally, they perform their tasks pretty well. . ? If the voters are to make a proper decision on public questions they must know what it is all about. And the principal duty of the Republican and the Democratic committees is to educate the voters so they will know what it is all about. The committees do this by publicity stump speakers, radio speakers, newspaper articles and partiphlets. Each committee is working for what it regards the best interests of the country as well as the party, and doing this both are performing a real service for the nation. Now to do all this costs money, and plenty of it. It costs more money than it used to, for various reasons. In the first place there are more peeople to reach, and more pamphlets and more speakers are required. Then, again, the general cost of living has risen grertly during the past generation, and this has affected legiti mate political living expenses, as well as 'legitimate private living expenses. When we read an ordinary political pamphlet it doubt less strikes us as an inexpensive bit of information. Yet to send such a pamphlet to every voter in the Un ted States would cost ei national committees a million dollars . ef The , man or woman who honestly believes in the principles ol his party has a right to contribute to the campaign expenses of hit party. T he party has a right to accept tho contribution and to ust it for legitimate campaign expenses. Even large sums spent in this way are spent patriotically and not corruptly as the ribald demagogues of both parties would have use believe. By all means let us stop the use of corrupt funds by corrupt But let us be careful that at the same time we do no politicians. do an injustice to the Republican or Democrat who contributes tc his party because he thinks it is doing a constructive patriotic work and there are thousands of' them. well-define- " al d THE BOY OF TODAY SALINA F O 00 Member I N A -U Federal Reserve System H.

At a recent address in Chicago, Cameron Beck, personnel director of the New York Stock Exchange, declared that the present eneration of boys is the finest in all history. "They are exceptionally honest, he declared, and business men are trying to do everything they can to help boys." Mr. Beck was backed up in the same meeting by Judge Benjamin F. Jones, former president of the Lions International organization, whho declared that in spite of the dark picture being painted by some judges, publicists and writers in general, hei$ of the opinion that the boys and girls now have a finer conception of life than ever before. Another1' public man who has come to the defense of modern youth is Dr. Mather A. Abbott, headmaster of the Lawrenceville School for Boys, who wrote recently in the New York Nation, that he finds a remarkable standard of truth and honor among the boys of his acquaintance. A boy s word, he declared, once given is rarely broken, and on the whole he is a d individual. The words of these men who have an intimate contact with modern youth, ought to be reassuring to come of our dark minded pessimists who have been telling us that the present generation is going to the dogs. It is true that there are some boys who turn bandits and otherswhodrink synthetic liquor and make fools of them-selvgenerally. But the number of these does not compare even fractionally with that of the bright and active youngsters who are entering our business world today from the bottom, who are studying to become the mechanics, the electricians, the chemists, the doctors and the lawyers of the future. Interest in science and mechanics among boys is now greater than it has ever been. Most of us feel sure that the world is on the eve of great scientific discoveries which will add to the peace, the happiness and the lorigevity of our people.
