The Habit of Saying Things.

The comments of Editor Beele Of
tho Hopkinton Leader, on the re1
cent milk and cream rate editorial
which appeared in this paper, is a
good illustration of the way some
good people get in the habit of say
ing things without thinking or in
vestigating, and how likely it is for
such habit to lead away from the
actual facts.
Last year the rates on milk and
cream were indefensibly low, and
the publishers of the Democrat
worked hard to get them raised and
they were raised. We did this to
protect the local creameries from a
manifest injustice. And for a like
purpose the Democrat said what it
could three weeks ago to prevent an
attempted reduction in the rate on
these commodities.
While commencing the efforts of
the Democrat to prevent the adop-
ton of rate which would destroy
all local creameries, Mr.. Beels con-
tinues to say things, which he
would not say, if he gave his think
ing powers short inning. He says
that our article after all is from
selfish standpoint; that one of the
publishers of the Democrat is inter
ested in a creamery at Manchester,
which is a small trust; that both the
small and the large trusts are doing
all in their power to break up the
local cooperative creameries.
This Manchester creamery, which
Mr.. Beels calls small trust, and
tries to hold up as deaths head
before the cooperative creameries,
has only $4,000 capital. Any
farmer who owns we'll improved
quarter section of land can sell it
for enough to buy the whole con
Germ, or for enough to construct and
operate one just like it.
Mi Beels knows, or could easily
haye learned, that the publishers Of
the Democrat have hundreds of dol
lars invested in Iowa dairy lands
and dairy COWS for every dollar they
have invested in creameries, and
that they are stockholders in farm
ers' cooperative creamery.
Their interests are the same as
the interests Of every other man who
owns land and COWS and has milk
and cream for sale. The freight
rate which would permit the ship.
ment of milk and cream to market
cheaper than the manufactured pro.
duct would destroy the creamery
business Of the state, and the Demo-
erat struck against it as every other
citizen Of the state should, and from
motives no more selfish than those
which prompt every man to stand
up for what's right and for what is
his own. =:
The statement that the Dairy
City Creamery Co. wants to break
up the cooperative creameries il
not correct. 1t simply wants tt
live and let live.
It is a competitor for business il
its vicinity, which is a good thing
for those who have milk and cream
to.ssn; and in opposing low rat
on milk and cream, it is fighting
for the cooperative creamery a
well as for itself.
