watterson on the Political Parties.


From the louisville Courier-Journal
Does anybody believe that the campaign
which the Republicans profess to have insti-
tuted against the trusts is anything better than
a sham2 The attitude of the two parties to-
ward such combinations is as different as pos
sible. The Democratic party is the party of
the people, the advocate of the interests of
the masses. The Republican party is the ad-
Yocate of class and privilege, of special
fayors to certain people in exchange for SER
vices to the party. These distinctions should
never be lost from sight, for they lie at the
foundation of all correct thinking upon the
questions which grow out of them.
1t is true that it was not always so. The
Republican party started ont with high ideals.
Its fundamental ideas we're liberty and equali-
ty. Barring the influence of differences in
the party then dominant, which is essential to
a true historical view, the Republicans may
be said to have come into power upon these
ideas. But the time came when they had
accomplished all that was possible along these
lines, and new reasons for existence had to be
invented. So that it has happened that the
party of liberty and equality has become the
protagonist of lawless aggression and of inc
quality of opportunity, the supporter of the
claims of privilege against the masses of the
people, We are thus treated to complete
reversal of the ideals upon which it first got
into power. With this change of principles
has come corresponding change of methods.
At first its reliance was upon moral forces.
Later on, being no longer even nominally the
friend of the masses, the Republican party
relied on its ability to confuse issues to de-
ceive the people, and, when this was made
ouate, to corrupt voters enough to turn the
balance For the means of corruption it re-
sorted to men who had received favors from
the party, but when it found that gratitude
was s'lively expectation of favors to come,'
it obtained its contributions by bargains by
which it gave combinations of capital the right
to reeoup themselves by sharing the taxing
power of the Government But for bargains
of this sort it would not be able to keep itself
in power, and all its leaders know this.

Two Negroes For Congressq
a;aaa,cb from Wasb;ngton saws

A dispatch from Washington says
tits stated as possible that negro candidates
for Congress will be put into the field in the
Fifth and Sixth districts of Maryland to run
against Representatives Sidney E. Mudd and
Geo. A. Pearre, respectively.
Colored Republicans, including members
of the Justice, Reform and Independent
wings of the organization, have formed an
alliance to oppose the two gentlemen named:
A conference of the three elements was held
recently and plans were discussed. 1t is
said that the colored element in these two dis
tricts will vote neither the Democratic nor Re-
publican tickets this fall and will especially
hold aloof from any connection with the Re-
publicans on account of alleged shortcomings
toward colored voters on the part of Messrs.
Mudd and Pearre.

We would say IN reply to Tax Payer, in the
first place, Mr.. Carlisle was not in the board
Of road commissioners the year that the road
machines were bought, and that If Buckley
and others went over all the roads in the dis
trict they must have walked or rode over them,
as there was very little done to some of them,
and some of them nothing at all. We do not
think there was any money spent that year on
piking or grading. neither was the new road
spoken Of opened that year. Our Tax Payer
does not tell yon that during the time he has
been tax collector that our road money has
decreased nearly 500; also that the town Of
New Windsor gets nearly $40 more now than
at that time; also that there has been two new
roads put on the district since he was road
commissioner; IS for the heavy work done the
tax payers of New Windsor district can judge
for themselves. he says be put in SO new
culverts; if they did, they must have gotten
outside of the district He talks of imposition.
The imposition falls on the present road COM
missioners worse than on him, for either one
of them, according to their wealth, pay more
taxes than be does. If the tax payers of the
district want to know where the money has
gone they will please call on our County Treas
urer, as we give him all bills and receipts at
the end of each year. He will gladly let them
see them.

one Dollar Wheat.

Corn King George 81. Phillips, of New
York, has been through the wheat belt OF the
West and he predicts one dollar wheat IN the
near future. Two years ago he was severely
ridiculed for saying corn would reach fifty
cents when ii was selling at thirty cents.
In an interview in the New York World, of
Tuesday, Mr.. Phillips gives bis reason why
wheat should reach dollar per bushel and
we publish them for them for what they are
worth. Here they are:
am bull on wheat. During the past
few weeks / have been repeatedly and cor
rectly quoted as predicting steady increase
in the price of wheat, and of course when 1
talked of dollar wheat was ridiculed as was
two years ago for predicting 5O-cent corn when
it was sailing at so cent or under.
NV prediction at that time was based on
the argument that the consumption of corn
had reached such stage that it had caught
up with if not surpassed, normal production
and that nothing but considerable increase
in price would make both ends meat. That
was after the country had raised six success
sive large crops Of corn, each exceeding two
billion bushels, record never before equalled,
and one that never will be equalled again.
But it was all consumed and high prices
ruled. It is my opinion that we have reached
the same condition in wheat my opinion be-
ing based on my knowledge of the production
of the country, the well known requirements
for home consumption and the usual demands
from foreign countries.
The following figures, which are from the
United States census and therefore authenic,
bear me out: Fifteen years ago the popula-
ton of the United States was sc, 900, 600.
Then the country raised an averaged crop of
SOC, COO, 900 bushels Of wheat, 1900, O00, 900
bushels of corn and COG, 900. 900 bushels of
oats. Today the populations is rs, 000, 600
an increase of q, 600, 600 despite that
great increase in population we will raise this
year only about 500, 900, 900 bushels of wheat,
1900, 900, 900 bushels of corn and $50, 000,-
900 bushels of oats.
The increase in livestock-horses, cattle,
mules, cows, sheep and hogs-is enormous.
and when is added the steady increase in ex
ports of grain and grain products one can
readily see that unless larger crops are raised
short selling will surely become dangerous
pastime. In round numbers there are in the
United State 10000, 900 horses 1900, 600
mules, 18,000,0 900 cows, 68, 000, 900 cattle,
81 600, 900 sheep and SO, 000, 900 hogs. They
all eat grain millions of bushels oft.
/ do not believe that wheat can be kept
down to its present low level, but it may de-
pend upon the stand taken by the farmers.
The average bear goes on the theory that
enough farmers must sell as soon as their
wheat is threshed to make decline, and that
is the reason that the lower prices of the year
are usual at this time, l advise all farmers
not to hurry the marketing of their wheat.

A Very Profitable Berry Season.

The railroad records show that 1929, 614
quarts of strawberries were shipped from
Bridgeville Station on the Delaware Railroad
during the season just closed. That means
over 46, 900 crates of4 quarts each, or, in cars
800, Is trains, each train of 20 cars. The
largest one days shipment was 80 cars. The
season lasted about three weeks, and during
that time $161, has been distributed in
that section. The pickers got $33, Az, the
crate manufactures, Sis, 272, and the farmers,
at an aveage of cents quart above expenses,
Sill, 480. The strawberry season has been
the most successful in the history Of strawberry

Harry Tracy, the Washington State outlaw,
seems to be as hard to catch as the Irishman's
flea, or the celebrated English highwayman,
Dick Turpin. When the officers and their posse;
have him surrounded and are closing in upon
him he takes French leave and causes them
to think where be will turn up next. As he
is a dead sure shot the officers should encsse
themselves in a coat of mail and advance upon
him. Tracy is evidently working his way to
the Canadian forests where he win find hun
dreds of boon companions who will protect
him to he bitter end. Nearly every one i'd
mires the mans courage and cunning.

And now Professor Wagner, the city arch
itect of Venice, Italy, says that practically the
whole city is doomed; that the fall Of the
Tower of Campinile is but warning of
what is to follow; that the subsoil has deterio-
rated and the piles and pillars are rotten and
unable to stand the pressure on them. Shrink
age and sinking have been observed in the
