During this hundred thors it has been known throughout the world as the American policy. James Monroe st forth two broad proposti- he United States did not pro-} rs to further ex- cent occasion reaf- tt mark the pas:| = |ment by members of congress who represent ‘strictly agricultural districts. b, { In fact, in a left-handed effort to discredit the Republican administration, certain farm or ganization offi¢ials who are Democrats have |publicly claimed that they, and not the remedial measures which were proposed to con- jgress and enacted by it. | It is a matter of record that congress did not | refuse to enact a single major prance ee that | was proposed and generally endorsed by reput- able farm organizations of the country. It is a matter of record that congress did not pass a single measure affecting agricultural iconditions that was opposed by reputable farm jorganizations or by the “farm bloc” in either {branch of congress. In other words the acts of commission as well} as the acts of omission, affecting agricultural conditions of the last congress were both per- |formed in obedience to the advice of the accred- jited representatives of agricultural, livestock and dairy interests. Never in the history of the United States has any administration co-operated to such a close degree with agricultural interests and taken their advice so implicitly as the present admin- istration. If the Democratic national committee and |Chairman Hull are right in their criticism of |the Republican administration, then the conclu- jsion must be drawn that in event the Demo- cratic party gets into power it will not consult jwith the representatives of farm organizations. | j1t will override the wishes of the “farm bloc” in either branch of congress in matters affect- jing agriculture. It will take its cue for agricul- jtural legislation from other sources, probably Mr. Gompers, who denounced the agricultural couference called by the Repubiican adminis- tration; or it may take the advice of Mr. Baruch! ot Wall Street, or it may take the advice of the importing interests of New York City, or it may jtake the advice of the internationel banking} jcrowd who are more interested in foreign secur- ities than they are in farm profits, | In any event, the fact that the Democratic national committee and Mr. Hull are thorough- ly convinced that what has been done in the last o years at the request of agricultural organ- izations and under the leadership of the “farm bloc” has been the wrong thing, it must be set down that if they are returned to power they will look elsewhere for suggestions and leader- ship in all matters affecting agricultural sec- tions of the country.

It does | not infringe upon the independence or sovereign: ty of any other American nation; it does not pre-| vent 1-American co-operation. It is a policy of self-defense of our government and of our} conception of free institutions, and as a Cisne, tive Am san policy the government of the | United States reserves to itself the definition, interpretation and application of the doctrine. Senator Henry : t renate committee on foreign relations) reviewing the one hundred years of the operation of the Monroe Doctrine sets forth clearly that the doc t » American one as distinguished from | ne c Rey n one. Within the last 60 years five presidents— ohnson, Grant, Cleveland, Roose- velt and Taft—have found it necessary to re assert the Monroe Doctrine by invoking it against intervention or attempted intervention upon the part of European and Asiatic powers in the political affairs of the western hemis- ere. Pathe United States senate in 1920 found it necessary to defend the Monroe Doctrine from the covenant of the league of nations which} would have nullified its operation. This the sen-| ate did by adopting a reservation to the league) covenant which stated that the United States} would not submit to the league of nations “any| questions which in the judgment of the United | States depend upon or relate to its long-estab-| | lished policy, commonly known as the Monroe | Doctrine; su doctrine is to be interpreted by} the United States alone and is hereby declared | to be wholly outside the jurisdiction of said league of nations. That the senate was justified in making such a reservation and that the Monroe Doctrine is looked upon as a protection by South American countries, was given fresh proof by Senor Al- yarez member of the league of nations repre- senting Chile, before the league assembly at Geneva when he declared the Monroe Doctrine was vastly superior to the league of nations for the protection of the integrity of American na- tions. He stated the Monroe Doctrine had con- tributed more to the main tenets of the free na- tions of the western hemisphere than any article or covenant the league could possibly contribute. The Monroe Doctrine contributed much dur- ing the past hundred yenrs to the growth of democratic institutions in this hemisphere and | the territorial integrity of jhe nations of this hemisphere. It is one of America’s important contributions to the cause of free institutions} and progressive civilization. | Whom Would Hull Consult? The Democratic party speaking through its national chairman is very dissatisfied with what the Republican party has done for the farmer during the last two and a half years. The burden of the publicity of the Democratic national committee as well as the output of Chairman Hull, is to the effect that agricultural interests would be better served by turning the Republican party out of power and putting the Democratic party in power This gives rise to some very pertinent ques- tions Just what act or acts of the Republican ad- ministration in connection with «yricultural) problems would the Democratic party undo were it in control? | These questions are pertinent because of the! twenty-six specifiq pieces of farm legislation enacted by the last Republican congress, every- one of which was endorsed by reliable organi- zations representing agricultural interests and supported in both branches of congress by the “farm bloc.” To go bs her, it may be stated that the bulk of farm legislation enacted by the last Republican congress was drafted by ac- credited representatives of agricultural inter-| ests, introduced by members of the “farm bl endorsed before the congr ional commi in public hearings by representatives of agricul tural interests and pushed through to enact Cabot Lodge who heads the!It is a parallel case with the one minister of the jthe nation uniformly non-tobaceco using. Noth- engage in outside matters or enterprises of one sort of another beyond recognized and legiti- mate banking business. When they do and the thing goes up in smoke the banking business gets a black eye which it does not deserve. For the great number of banks in operation in this country, and Canada can well be included, their business affairs are directed and managed with scrupulous integrity and. devotion to the inter- ests of patrons and stockholders. With these honestly conducted financial institutions which go on day after day serving the people and clear- ing millions and millions of dollars worth of business there can be no complaint yet they are made to suffer in reputation and prestige be- cause banks and bankers elsewhere go astray. | jgospel who falls from grace. All the members of the same profession are made to bear the |odium. We have had but recently instances in a near- |by state, where several banks of good repute |were brought to collapse because the officers became too much interested in prize fighting. And about the same time that the American banks went under, one of the oldest and sup-/| |posedly most conservative institutions of the Dominion crashed with resultant loss and dis- grace the like of which was unknown in Can- jadian history. And one of the assigned causes {of the tragedy was bootlegging or rum running liquor into the United States. It is the very unusual thing for banks on their own or their officers’ account to engage in prize- fighting andsbootlegging. And nothing more for- eign to banking can be imagined. Yet when they do, they should fail and financiers back of any such transactions should be made to save cred- itors from the loss of_a single penny. To the credit of the banking fraternity, as has been said, these incidents are very few and a great distance between, and it is unfortunate that legitimate banking and honest bankers should be made to bear even the slightest shadow of suspicion because of the acts of men in the same profession who have proved un- worthy of the confidence reposed in them. Taking Away Our Tobacco Rumors continue to multiply to the effect that a campaign is to be inaugurated looking to the} prohibition of the manufacture and use, and of course the production of tobacco. Such a policy would fit in admirably with our present standardizing tendency, and regulatory methods. To some Americans it is painful and intolerable that men or communities should differ from one another, and so it is thought to the necessary to make them all alike, and to do it by statute or constitutional amendment. So it would not be surprising if there were an attempt to make ing more is necessary than to win a majority to that way of thinking. Or if a minority is active enough the same purpose may be accomplished. For it is an axiom in our political mathematics that whatever the majority decides is right, and hence, of course, it is supreme over the life of the individual and over his habits and morals. The student may recall that Peter, the Great, regulated the lives of his subjects in much the same way, even going so far as to prescribe the jlength of men’s beards, imposing a graduated tax proportionate to their length. So our ma- jority is being transformed into a sort of Peter, and whenever the constitution interferes with the process the constitution must be got out of the way | Amendment.” When we get what we seem to be after—a thoroughly trained, trim- med, disciplined and regimented population, we shall need to give ourselves no further concern about the millenium, for we shall be living in| the midst of it. Yet variety is no bad thing. It at least makes for joy and picturesqueness—also the truest and firmest unity that is rooted in variety. In non-| essentials liberty and in all things charity— that is the old rule, given by high authority.

In reality the season for corn be- gan as early as April 27, that being the last date on which any frost oc- curred which could have damaged young corn. The minimum on the night of May 15 was 30 degrees above zero, or two degrees below frost. The minimum on the night of October 12 was 24 above zero, Ola residents at Torrington state that all records for late frost in that vicinity have been broken, the near- est approach being 37 years ago, when the first frost eame on the night of October 9th. The season this year was over a month longer than the average of 118 days between Killing frosts. pases seed Failed to Get Away SHBRIDAN.—For five minutes, Manuel Parado, Mextean beet work- er, arrested by county officers on a charge of illegal manufacture of in- toxicating Mquor, enjoyed hig free- dom. Parado, who had signified h!s in- tention of pleading guilty in district court to the charge, was brought over from the jal to the courthouse. Taking advantake of the fact that court had been dismissed for a 10- minute recess, the corridors being crowded with people, Parado slipped away from his captor. He was caught five minutes later just as he stepped into a taxi in front of the Western hotel and or- dered the driver to drive him to the Burlington depot, though he had no money. He was reapprehended and brought back to the jail where he will be given no more chances to give the officers the slip, they say. Parnes SAP cs ah Still Using Horses WHEATLAND. — Fifty horse drawn vehicles were in town at one time Saturday afternoon as com- pared with 151 motor propelled ve- hicles, according to the count made by James Carmichael, Jr., grandson of J. A. Carmichael of the Times force, The grenter part of equipages drawn by horse power were of course wagons loaded with farm pro- duce. To be exact there were 40 teams and 10 gingle rigs. Owing to the rush of beet work and other late harvesting held back previously by wet weather, the attendance tn town on that day was not up to the av- erage, The Glendo Project WHEATLAND. — The original plans for the Glendo irrigation pro- ject, which formerly took in the reclamation of 10/000 acres near that place, have been enlarged to include an additional 20,000 acres in the vi- cinity of Cassa and Orin. The final survey was under way last week, according to Glendo bus!- Ness men visiting here. State engi- neers inspected the project recent- ly, and reported it to be one of the most promising projects in the state. Water for the 30,000 acres is avatl- able in the Pathfinder reservoir. En- gineers estimate that the cost of the project will be much less than that of the Scottsbluff district, and should not exceed $50 per acre. es. Aide = Sh talc Good Corn Yield WHEATLAND.—Last week T. U. Frantz measured two acres of his corn to determine the yield, Taking the old rule which has been proven in the east, allowing 9 1-2 quarter mile rows to the acre and 120 ears to the bushel, Mr. Frantz played safe by raising the number of ears per bushel to 180, altho his corn was not small. Measured by that method the two acres went 81 bushels apiece. Six years ago an acre of meas- ured corn on the C. W. Berger farm went 89 bushels per acre, County Agent Tedmon assisting in the meas- uring and weighing of the corn. Mr. Tedmon states that . where corn {s drilied fn and a good stand 1s secured, an eight ounce ear for every fourth stalk means a yield in the neighborhood of 25 bushels. In the case of checkrowed corn, every hill must have an eight ounce ear, which i8 9 small ono.
