THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1916. Farmers and Democratic “Prosperity.” HE OMAHA DAILY BEE| FOUNDED BY EDWARD ROSEWATER * VICTOR ROSEWATER, EDITOR “=THE BEE PUBLISHING COMPANY, PROPRIETO Our democratic senator is pursuing the ap- proved tactics of his party in his canvass for re- election. He is telling half-truths, deceiving by indirection, and endeavoring through this means to induce voters to give their support to his fail- ing cause. In Antelope county he exhibited a few quotations of market pricés for farm commodi- ties in 1912, and compared them with the prices prevailing today, insinuating that the difference is the result of having elected Wilson president and suggesting that the way to keep prices at their present high level is to continue the democrats in office. Let us take a look at the facts, The card our democratic senator exhibited gave the price of wheat at 90 cents, and this he compared with the present price of $1.46. Why did he not tell his hearers that in August, 1913, five months after the inauguration of President Wilson, the price of wheat in Omaha was 80 cents, a drop of 10 cents S S Mr. Hughes His Qwn Boss | Nt. Louls Globe Democrat. While Mr. Hughes was still in the west there was a growing impression in the rest of the country that he was not arousing as great enthu- siasm as had been anticipated. The Globe-Demo- crat frankly admitted it, at the time, and set forth some of the conditions responsible for readers get- ting such a mistaken impression. After his speech of acceptance Mr. Hughes confined his attention to his immediate work. Belief in certain myths about him had been carefully fostered. He had to dispel these. He did it in his 14,000-mile tour. Correspondents of such papers as the New York Times, editorially supporting Mr. Wilson, admit that he convinced his Ecareu everywhere that he was a red-blooded man, capable, intellectuall honest, courageous and bent on establishing ei- ficiency in the public service. When he said he would veto extravagant appropriations, it was not taken as an idle campaign promise. People knew he meant every word of it. Some remembered that he had vetoed items amounting to $5,000,000 | | Thought Nugget for the Day.

Hogs, according to our sen- ator, sold in 1912 at $9.50; in 1913 these hogs were priced at $8.17, a drop of $1.33 per hundred pounds under the effect of the demogcratic administration. In 1914, just before the war, the price had ad- vanced to $8.56, still below the level quoted under republican rule.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 20.—To the Editor of The Be There seems to be a great deal of objection on the part of democrats to the criticism of the Wilson administration by the repub- lican candidate for president, Charles E. Hughes, and in fact to criticism by anybody else. They seem to think that it is sac- rilege for anybody to express disap- proval to any of the numerous acts of the administration that are subject to eriticism. elected by the republican party has been free from democratic criticism and none will ever be elected who will not be subject to their criticism. They even to this day talk of the McKinley administration _being controlled by Mark Hanna. The McKinley adminis- tration will go down in history as one of the best this country ever had, for there was one of the greatest revivals of industry ever seen in the history of the world, after the dlsas- trous last administration of Grover Cleveland. There has not been a more vacillating administration in the his- tory of this republic than the Wilson administration, for there has been a change of front on every great ques- tion that has come before it for solu- tion. Yet every movement made by Wil- | son has Indicated his keen desire to inflict his administra: on upon us for another four years. forts of Wilson to force his re-election should make the movement for a change to one term of six years for one man as president, all the stronger. He is the most adroit politician who has held the presidency since the time of Martin Van Buren, and it is to be hoped that his defeat for a second term will be as signal as was that of Van Buren in 1840.

Guert in Detroit Free Press Some folks leave home for money And some leave home for fame, Some seck sizies always sunny, And some depart in shame, I care not what the reason Men travel east or west, Or_what the month or season, The home town is the best. The home town is the glad town Where something real abides. 'Tis not the money 1ad town That all its spirits hides. Though strangers scoff and flout it And even jeer its name, It has a charm about it No other town can clalm. The home-town skies seem bluer Than skles that stretch away. The home-town friends seem truer And kinder through the day. And whether glum or cheery, Light hearted or depressed, Or struggle-fit or weary, 1 iike the home town best. Let him who will go wander To distant towns to live, Ot some things I am fonder Than all they have to give The gold of distant places Could not repay me quite For those familiar faces That keep the home town bright (LT TR RERLE LR EIRETTERRRRE AR AL R R R R AT FEERET 11 621 Residents of Nebraska A Dou Singl Doul TIMES SQUARE &), registered at Hotel Astor during the past year.
