The producers of wheat, corn, oats and livestock long have suffered because there has been gross and excessive specula- tion utterly unwarranted price manipulation in con- nection with the sale of those commodities. That the evils existed and were recognized gave the Nonpar- tisan league its only excuse for existence and at- tracted to league membership many thousands of hon- est farmers who sought a remedy. And agitators of the Nonpartisan league variety were prompt to take advantage of the situation. Under leadership for the most part utterly imprac- tical, tie Nonpartisan league has run its couzie to| date with no striking benefits to producers of grain and livestock, without lessening the grip of speculators and profiteers. The farmers are getting, under de- flation conditions, even a smaller proportion than usual of the value of their grain and their livestock. As was inevitable, when prices began to drop, the first to feel the effect of a reduced demand were the pro- ducts of grain, cotton and livestock. Prices of these commodities had been forced higher than ever had been known, and when the war-time demand stopped, prices had to yield. It was when the price of wheat had declined from above $3 a bushel to below $2, and when cattle, hog, corn and cotton prices had declined in proportion, regardless of cost of production, that a new coterie of agitators began to vociferate and to advocate withholding wheat, corn and cotton from the market. Hogs and cattle could not so well be held back, as they would continue to eat. Organizations were formed in the south and in the west, members of which bound themselves not to sell cotton, corn or wheat. What has been the result? Supplies of all the commodities being greatly in excess of the de- mand, the efforts to keep up prices have been as inef- fective as would be efforts to sweep back the tide. Prices have continued to drop until wheat growers in some sections of the country cannot cash their holdings at $$1 a bushel and millions of bushels of corn will not net the growers 35 cents a bushel. “As fast as one crop of agitators fails in its effort Yo lead the farmers out of the wilderness another crop comes to the fore to save them from the specu- lator and the profiteers. And under bad leadership the condition of the farmer grows continually worse. Only when the farmer severs all connection with the agitators, thinks and acts for himself, will he be en- abled to better his condition and secure his fair share of what the consumer pays for farm products.” Se ene ee eens TROUBLE MAKERS. They have been the same all time. May be from the beginning. At least they don’t change much, Daniel Webster discovered them in 1838 and paid his respects to them. We'll say he did it nicely. Here is a fragment from one of his addresses: “There are persons who constantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation and pernicious in- fluence of accumulated wealth. “They cry out joudly against all banks and corpor- ations and all means by which small capitalists become united in order to produce important and beneficial results. They carry on mad hostility against all es- tablished institutions. They would choke the fountain of industry and dry all streams. In a country of un- bounded liberty they clamor against oppression. In} a country of perfect equality they would move heaven and earth against privilege and monopoly. In a coun- try where property is more evenly divided than any- where else they rend the air shouting agrarian doc- trines. In a country where the wages of labor are high beyond parallel, they would teach the laborer that he is but an oppressed slave. “Sir what can men want? What do they mean? They can want nothing, sir, but to enjoy the fruits of other men's labor. They can mean nothing but disturbance and disorder the diffusion of corrupt principles and the destruction of the moral sentiments| and moral habits of society.” | 0. UPTON “HISTS” THE LIMIT. And now comes Upton, a town in Weston county,| with the same assurance with which it proclaims it- self “the best town on earth,” and makes a new bid for fame. It desires to be counted in on the voting! contest to occur on May 10, when counties in Wyom. ing will vie one with another in rolling up large majori. ties for the state bond issue for good roads. The town of Upton proclaims in the same size let-| ters used on its well-known sign board that no back- woods county like Hot Spring, nor agricultural coun-| ty like Sheridan can put anything over on Weston. Weston county, aided by the town of Upton, proposes to cast more votes for the bond issue, man for man and ‘woman for woman, than any other county within the imperial commonwealth. That it {s to say, population considered, little old Weston will vote more of 'em yes than any one of the other twenty counties. Further, ' the town of Upton adds a sporting interest to their fovene’t Intontionsa that makes the Themopolis bluff cppear pikerish, Into the Jack-pot of $5,000 made by ae vpvim, Uplon puts her entire corporation, all property real and personal, all other things of value, , a \ |larging, and courts are discovering too high a per- |erates and satisfaction to all the rest. is $3,995,000.shy and its costs Sheriden $4,000,000 to} get in. Upton is not only the best town on earth, but Up-| ton has a fair supply of nerve. eee ea SHERIDAN AND GOOD ROADS. Sheridan county not only proposes to vote strongly for the state good roads bond issue on May 10, but has projected county bond issue of $300,000 for improving and building additional roads within her borders aside from such roads as are contemplated and already building by the state commission. The Sheridan county people appreciate good roads, al- ready have many miles of splendid highways and want more. | Not only do the ranchers take interest and drag} dirt roads and keep them crowned and*smooth, but the townspeople volunteer in the same worthy effort and do their part. In times past when the county appro-| priation for roads had become exhausted and there was work to do, dignified Sheridan business men have renewed acquaintance with pick and shovel and put over a road improvement with the thoroughness of experts. They have done it frequently and then driven a $5,000 touring car over the work to see that it was well done. No, the Sheridan people are not toe proud to make good roads. ee MUST PICK BETTER ONES. If there is not a change for the better in the character of the law as made by state legislatures] and congress these legislative bodies might as well go out of business. It occurs all too frequently,| that when executive officers come to act in a situation or judicial officers come to apply the law, the law is found inadequate. Most American law these days is made by contest, a legislative force for and an- other force against, with the final result a comprom- ise that has little force and effect in application. The demand on the part of enforcing officers for laws with teeth in them to handle situations that have grown up in the past few years, is constantly en- centage of laws to be unconstitutional when tested before them. Which all comes beck to the people and political par- ties for the quality of representatives sent to legis- latures to make the laws. If conditions are to be im- proved there must be greater discrimination in selec- tion of law makers. The fact that a person is a good fellow or a member of innumerable fraternal orders does not imply that he is a good law maker. If our legislative system is to make good, parties must) put forward candidates of higher qualifications for the duties expected of them. This responsibility rests equally upon the party leaders and the party voters and each should have sufficient pride in the party with which he is affiliated to interest himself in se- curing genuine quality in candidates. ————_-0 REVIVAL IN WAR LITERATURE. The promise of considerable war literature seems about to be realized, with Lansing’s bond already on hand, and the works of Daniels, Baker and Wilson on the way. Still we are wondering whether it will be war literature or personal criticism. Lansing has added something to general treaty matters and equally as much to criticism. Lansing can do better. He must keep his subjects separated. We alt want light on the war and the treaty. The other gets nowhere in history. Daniels and Baker can add nothing to general in- formation and the public confidence in them is such that their accounts will lack weight and authority, while Wilson’s book will be by an author who hitched his wagon to a star so carelessly that the fastenings broke. He has a certain faculty of delivering volumi- nous theory but little skill of presenting e: ing fact. His tendency is to make history conform to his opin- ion of what it ought to be. The hope of real war history does not lie in these authors. They are not the ones to write i: and the time since war has been too brief. We must get farther away from the actual scenes and incidents to obtain a clearer viewpoint. Ten years from now is soon enough and the actual author of the work that will stand is likely to be one who did not participate officially or in the actualities. Cees enna REDUCE THE RENTS. While the cost of the necessities of life have re- sponded in some measure to the demands of the times, rents have stood stubbornly at rates established by war time conditions. Houses are as necessary as food and wearing apparel and landlords must catch step with the procession going down. Appeals have been made to the federal government and elaborate investiagtions have been held, but be- yond stablishing the two facts, that rents are high and houses short, the federal government can do noth- ing. It would willingly help its people were it possible and it is foolish to longer believe that the federal goy- ernment can do everything. The remedies for high rents lie closer to the firing line than Washington. The power is in state and local governments and in the enterprise of communities. The state can pass laws to curb the rapacity of land- lords and afford protection to tenants. Local authority can enforce the law. Local enterprise can supply the shelter shortage by constructing new homes. New York state has pointed the way and shows very favorable results. Other states where similar cond tions exist are unfaithful to their people when they do not do likewise. BRING ON THE LIVE STUFF, ington, VW, C.

(Wheatland World On last Sunday afternoon some evil- minded persons entered the Curtis school, south of town, and filled the blackboards with cbscene language, disarranged the seats, filled the stove with the interior of the building. It was a dirty trick and it will not be healthy for the miscreants if they are found by the school authorities. Our public schoo! buildings, as a rule, are a model of cleanliness and they are erected for the betterment of the community life and only vicious mind- ed persons will commit such dirty, low-down acts as was committed there on Sunday. You had better watch your step, old scout, or somebody will get your goat in good fashion, and when they do you will be wondering why you have remained out of the pen as long as you have. To Establish Summer Camp. (Douglas Enterprie) A number of Douglas residents will spend the coming summer in the Cold Springs district if plans now being outlined under the auspices of the local American Legion post are car- ried out. It is planned to build an up-to-date summer camp near Cold Springs and if proper arrangements can be made work on the resort will be commenced within the next few weeks. [The work {s to be done by members of the post, twelve having signed up to assist in the labor end so far. Others are ex- pected to lend their support so that a large number will spend a week and get the work under way so that the finishing touches can be put on at a little later date. The plan is meeting with the ap- proval of a number of Douglas peo- ple, many of whom will have their own cottages erected during the sum- mer. For the benefit of those who do not care to do this a hotel is to be erected so that those who wish to spend a few days at the camp mzy be taken care of, Faithful to Friends.
