One simetimes thinks that the less de- sirable and more disagreeable ones seem to crowd the center of the state and make the most preminent plays betore their audience. It is perfectly self-evi- dent that people usually take this sort as representative of their class. They call {'em “types” and say of seme rural skin- filnt who has cheated them in a butter trade that he is a “typical” farmer. Of course this isn't fair. But perhaps it's quite as fair as our own irritated asser- tion, when some city dudelet with a gun has left the woods bars down and shot the family cat thinking it a rabbit, that this is “jest like city folks.” It is also quite common for city peaple when they hear farmers complaining about the raw deals they get in city mar- kets, to pass it off with a covert snecr. | “They're always grumbling, nothing is ever just right for them.” Indeed, It seems to be a rather common if not pr; alent {dea In the cities that farmers are born to find fault, as the sparks to fy upwards, though they really area’t any worse off than other business:s. There’s mo use trylug to argue with people who have got that bug in their heads. Show them a million bushels of peaches rotting on the ground because the farmer can't sell them for enough to pay wages of picking and basketing, and they’ll shfug their shoulders and say that they guess he could find a way ir e waan't so dum lazy. Show them irre futable statistics proving that the facmer has £o pay an average of $1.77 for things he used to buy before the war for 81, while he can get but $1.04 for the crops wading the Slough of Despond, no mat- | &ides at once, the enemy which is yob- bing both? A prominent statesman sald, some few years ago, that the most shamefully in- efficient function"in our American life was the administration of our criminal laws. I leave that for people better ac- quainted with court technicalities to de- bate. I they decide that this statésman was right, then I insist upon it that the second most pitiful exhibition of incom- petence, injustice and wastefulness is that of our distributing system. This in- 'cludes all the processes and all the routes between the producers and the consumer, transportation, markeung, de- livery, etc. It doesn't mean simply the retafler, whom so many jersist in regarding as the | only “middleman,” but allrthe innume- able tool-takers who stand along the road ! whick the ba: & piAal of wheat must travel between the har-- vest field and the dining room table. | So far as I can understand them, near- ly all the nostrums which are being urged on congress are simply palliatives, aimed to relleve or conceal some symp- tom. None of them reach or attempt to reach the cause. They are like trying to cure a consumptive by powdering over the hectic flush on his cheek, which is merely a symptom of a disease in his, lungs. Intelligent physicians nowadays waste small effort on symptoms. They seekx for the hidden danger which symptoms only advertise. They try to conquer the source of infection, knowing that the | symptoms will disappear when their cause is removed. Today the most grievous sore in all our economic system is in this field of | distribution. It may not yet mave de-| veloped into an incurable cancer, but it is tending that way. Yet economists and congressmen, sooth- sayers and senators are fluttering about the edges and trying to brush on talc powder here or stick a it of court-plaster there, to cover up for a moment the external evidence of the in- ternal gangrene.
