If there i many discrimination in the matter of tar. q affs the discrimination is tertainly in s'favor of the farmer. But theremre high in@turiff rates on many of the things the farmer sells and perhaps Mr. Davis in- “iveighs against these when he complains bi exorbitant tariff rates. Among other agg cre that may be the objects of Mr. re Davis’ antagonism, are the following, ++ with the rates of duty they now bear: | Wool, in the grease, 12 cents per sigpeund; scoured, 24 cents, washed, 18 ut gents, on the skins, 11 cents. & 82 Goat hair, 31 cents per pound. it Wheat, cents per busliel. “Butter, 8 cents per pound. _--sliggs, 8 cents per dozen, dried, 18 cents yy Per pound; frozen 6 cents per pound. if Vegetable oils, coconut 0’ cents per mm Pound; cottonseed oil, 3 cents; peanut oil , 4 cents; soy-bean oil 244 cents: Peanuts, shelled, 4 cents; not shelled 3 cents per pound.

Patriots Will Not Forget Samuel Gompers says that as for La —YOllette's war record he is willing to for get—and of course forgive. Being a for- Teigner by birth and not a native born an this may be easy for Mr. Gom he has pl ners. So. many ant things ta say of the man, who when the country vwent {0 war, so conducted himself that ithere was much discussion about the ne re f depriving him of his seat in the United States senate owing to his Lre: ee utterances. + Gompers may forget but how about the Toxal en who are members of the A. F. of L. and who went abroad to fight leav nis behind in this country to thwart their efforts as best he could the sehator from Wisconsin? That LaFollette’.cannot be elected makes no difference when it comes to giving him a vote. He does not. deserve the support of Mis age men and women. He does not think as they do. He be- trayed a state of mind before and dur- ing the war, which gives warrant for the assertion that he stands for things-which are anathema to every loyal man who has ever borne arms in defense of the Unit- ed States. $ Mr. Gompers may support LaFollette, hut can you visualize the men who made up our forces dying thé war doing that? We do not believe that all-the men who are affiliated with the A. PF. of L. will be as forgiving and forgetful in the case of LaFollette as Gompers says _he ¥is. To believe t would be to bring an unwarranted indictment against them. He who would yote knowingly in times of peace to put at the head of our army and navy a man who, had he commanded them in times of war, would have will- ingly permitted a foreign foe to flout them and tear down the flaggnay speak the words of a patriot but.at heart what is he? Well, he isn’t our kind of a good American, and in saying that we believe that we speak for the vast majority of the citizens of this country. Patriotism isn’t dead in this Jand as LaFollette will discover even though Gompers gives him aid and comfort. Creating More Wealth Tf crop conditions existing at the fore- part of the month are borne out at har- vest time, as carefully calculated by the department of agriculture and if current prices arg maintained, the farmers of the four states of Minnesota, the two Da- kotas and Montana will receive for field products $250,000,000 more than they re- ceived for the products of 1923. In the census of 1920 these four states were credited with a total population of 4,213,433. If the 1924 crop calculators are correct in their figures, the increas- ed value represents: $60 for each man, woman and child in these four states. If the increase in population since 1920 hag kept up the pace of the increase between 1910 and 1920, which is doubtful, the number of inhabitants in these four states is today 4,499,994. | Dividing a quarter of « billion by. that number, we have approximately $56 for each man, woman and child. That is a remarkable accretion in in- come for a single year, but that is not the -best part of the showing. The in- erease goes to the farming population, a large part of which has had its special and peculiar financial troubles in re. cent years. Whatever sickness there has been in the general interests of these four states is attributable almost wholly to the fact that the farmers lacked griev- ously in purchasing power, while many of -them were burdened with growing eebts and tax obligations. The increase in farm wealth means that the farmer ig getting rapidly back to a parity with his city and town neighbors in the buy- ing and sélling marts; It means that he will be helped to a new start. in straight- ening out his financial household and that the whole material structure of the northwest will share in the benefit of his bettered condition. Favorable growing conditions in the northwest have assured an exceptionally good harvest of wheat this year. The out- look for.a world wheat crop far below par has sent prices in the wheat markets skyward. The northwest farmer benefits by -this-joinder of circumstances, but he has no. assurance that similar good for- tune in’ wheat raising awaits him in 1925 or after. If he wishes to avoid tak- ing undue chances next year, he will put side the temptations with which this year confronts him and go in on a per. manent basis for diversified farming. The fruits of his labor and investment this year are strengthening his hands for that pjolicy, and it is reasonably to be expected that they are strengthening his purpose to adopt’ that policy in his fu- ture operations, Meantime it is a cheering song the reapers and threshers are ‘singing in most of the grain sections of the great northwest, Then, again, corn is coming along with rapid stride and promise of more prosperity—a little behind sched- ule time, but doing its level best. Like Life Blood Gasoline, along with flour and sugar, may be considered one of the necessities of life today and so sold at the country grocery store side by side with beans, meats, potatoes, ribbons, straw hats and shoes. The distribution of petroleum products by tank ships, tank cars and tank wag. ons over mountain roads and deserts to thousands of. points of storage and to service stations involves a vast and com- plicated system in which hundreds of millions of dollars are invested. Cutting off the supply of gasoline for this nation would be almost like cutting off the supply of blood from an individ. ual so far as crippling locomotion is con- cerned. All industry requires oil in increasing volumes. It is the responsibility of the industry to see to it that the supply 1 not. 1.

(United Press)—While terrestial tele- scopes wero'trained upon him in tn- tense study Mars last night slipped up to within 34,600,000 miles of the earth and tonight was in his way again out into the wide open spaces. Contrary to popular belief, how- ever, last night was not necessarily the best night of the present oppo- sitional period in which to view the planet for Mars-and the earth have been traveling almost parellel paths for many weeks and wi!! continue to do so for many weeks more, astron- omers said. Tonight telscopes and sensitive careas were trained as usual upon his gleaming surface in a contin- uance of earthly effort to discover whether or not real live Martians live next dcor and whether they have a nice environment. The stock of new information added to the earth's knowledge of its closest planet by this opposition may be ‘large and it may be small but that something probably added is certain, Pacific coast astronomers believe. It will be many weeks, perhaps mionths before new data is worked out, correlated and compared and tentative conclusions reached. “Even then one observatory may reach one conclusion, another may reach 4 second, a third may tel! a different story and 80 cn,” declared Professor W. H. Wright of Lick Observatory, California. “One thing of which ail of us may be sure,” said Dr. V. Slipper of Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, Arl- zona, “and that is that there is nothing freakish about Mars. He's a perfectly sober planet, doing his work obeying universal law and tryin gto get alon; EB” The outstanding new discovery the planet’s facial complexion is claimed for Walter Gale, astronomer of Sydney, Australia. Gale announced that he had cb- served a half circle, 4,500 miles long and 60 miles wide, ‘never noticed before. He also reported the ¢! appeararice of a definite “cana! 5,000 miles long. Astronomers in the southern hemisphere were favored with a much better view of the planet than those «north of the equatér, One Disease Is Given to Cure Another LONDON (By mail to United Press) —Daring medical experiments, so far apparently successful, have -been undertaken recently in deliberately giving persons one disease in order to cure another. es At the Liverpool School of Tropl- cal Medicine patients suffering with general paralysis have been shot full of malaria germs upon the theory malaria would cure or modify the paralysis. Elghty-four paralysis cases have been treated. Of these, 23 have s0 improved that they are about to be discharged from the hospital. Never before, it is said, has any paralysis patient been discharged from this hospital, because no cure nor any appreciable improvement was ever accomplished before. Seventeen other cases have shown “district mental and great+physical improvement,” ft is reported. This total of 40 cases of distinct and sometimes remarkable improvement out of 84 cases—which before had been regarded as hopeless—causes the physicians conducting the exper- iments to believe they are upon the track of something that will open up an entirely new field of medical research. The experiments were based upon observations that occasionally in the tropics severe diseases counteract each other completely. Physicians had reported that in India, Bengal fever and pneumonia had offset each other, Most persons having both at the same time recovered. Most per- sons having only the fever or pneu- , monia_died. So at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine ‘they simply began to mix different dis- eases and see what happened. UIti- tely the apparent efficacy of ma- ria bugs against paralysis was found. Experiments are continuing, mostly with malaria germs in oppo!- tion to other diseases. Of course, one awkward phase of the matter is that the patient cured of paralysis, or improved, is left with malaria. The answer to that, say the experimenters, is that it is bet- ter to have malaria than to be paral- d, and that quinine can cure ma- laraia, whereas nothing has . been able to cure paralysis. and permanent. effect on the glean ing for knowledge of the neighbor planet, was made by Prof. W. H. Wright, of Lick observatory, Gali- fornix, Prof. Wright found that by ex- posing an infra-red photographic plate he obtained a far clearer and more detailed picture of the planet's face than by any other photographic ‘process. Photographs made by this process show the planet lessens in bril- Nance at the edges, indicating to science the presence of some kind of atmosphere, but whether of suf- ficient density to support life as we understand it there is no way as yet to tell. 5 Observers at Lowell observatory, Flagstaff, *Ariz., through their ob- servations became convinced that the planet has a’ range of tempera- ture with sufficient heat to support an otherwise adapted form of organic life.

The Church and Propaganda “One of the keenest analyses,” says the Washington Post, “that we have seen of the question ‘What ails the churches?’ was that made recently at the Institute of Religious Education held at the Isles of Shoals. The speaker was Dr. Nixon of Rochester, N. Y., a Baptist theologian who is pastor of a Presbyterian church, and he was speaking to an audience com- posed chiefly of Unitarians; so that his remarks were invested with a generously interdenominational flavor, “TTis diagnosis of the case was that the churech—he was referring to Protestant churches gene ly—does not know its own mind; indeed, its mind is a num as to its functions in society, It has no clear sense of its functions, no definite social philosophy, But it is completely surrounded by organized groups of prop- agandists of many kinds, all intent upon using it for gheir own purposes, and. fre- quently succeeding in doiyg so, because the vacuum in the church’s: mind gives them an opportunity to rush in and fill it the phenomenon.
