President Roosevelt believes that
better social, sanitary and economic
conditions should exist on American
farms, and has requested four experts
on country life to make an investi-
cation of the matter to the end that he
may be enabled to intelligently
present statement of existing con-
ditions to congress in special mes
sage. In this message he intends to
recommend legislation which would
benefit the farmer along the lines men,
toned. There is not the least doubt
that plenty of room remains for the
improvement of conditions on the
farm. m.s

A variety of wheat known as
"Alaska" is being widely advertised
as capable of yielding 200 bushels per
acre under ordinary conditions.
Farmers should let the stuff alone as
it will not pay for cultivation. The
government agricultural department
says that this species of wheat has
been sown at several experiment sta
lions in the west and that nowhere
have yields been sufficient to merit
attention. It is one of the poorest
wheats known for making -four, is a
freak and could never be made valua-

paper the editor of the Minneapo
Tribune had in mind when he penned
the scathing article which appeared in
the editorial columns of that paper
Monday under the caption Of "Puritan
and Blackleg in Predatory Journal
ISM" AS a fine specimen of artistic
word-painting in describing an
deficient outfit for predatory journal.
ism" the article is herewith repro.
duced:
PURITAN AND BLACKLEG IN PREDA-
TORY JOURNALISM.
The most efficient outfit for preda-
tory journalism is the combination OF
Puritan and blackleg described by
John Randolph in the famous elec-
toral campaign of 1924.
With Praise-God Barebones snuff
ing psalms on the front porch and
Black George emptying purses and
melting up plate in the cellar, it is
armed for offense and defense at every
point and stands four-square against
every rude blast of fortune. It levies
softly on the contribution plate with
one hand and roughly seizes share
of the blackmail paid by vice for
federation with the other.
One face is appraised at good mems
feasts for the generous allowance that
virtue, not quite certain of itself, is
always ready to make to hardy pre-
tense. The other turns greedily to
the tables of debauchery to suck
nutriment, like scavenger flies, from
the ulcer of public corruption. Both
visages feed one stomach, which is
always full and running over.
The last refinement of this kind of
alliance is the nice discrimination
made by the two aspects of it in it's
joint campaign of SANDER and detrac-
ton. Both agree that all other Jour-
nalism is predatory, the only difference
being in the classification of it's own.
The Puritan ally rolls bilious eye
balls to the skies, proclaims mo-
nopoly of virtue in a shameful trade
and struts forth as the one righteous
member that protects it from the de-
vouring fame. The wicked partner
affects the bluff sincerity of the sturdy
rogue, laughs at the notion of any
honesty or decency anywhere in a call
ing that seems to him made by nature
for corruption, and proclaims that all
journalism is like his own at bottom.
Such is the monstrous credulity of
humanity when it is asked to believe
evil that both find credit in the same
community, and the alliance is
strengthened for both pillage and
SANDER by the quaint contradiction in
the attitude of it's members.
