MIDDLE MAN MUST GO.
Society of Equity and Farmers Union
Getting Together.

Springfield Mo, May 14.-At the sec
ond days session of the grain growers
and cattle raisers here, a plan to con-
struct a chain of warehouses in grain
producing territories for the purpose of
holding wheat for high prices was en-
dorsed. 1t is believed by delegates in
attendance that farmers by next sea-
son will be prepared to handle a large
per cent Of their crops in this way.
At the invitation of the American So
ciety of Equity, the farmers promised
to cooperate with that organization.
Theodore c. Nelson, national organ
izer for the equity society. addressed the
meeting. He advocated the direct sale
of grain by the American growers to
domestic millers and to wholesale CO.
operative societies of Great Britain do
ing away with middle men" and their
profits This, he said, would put a stop
to grain gambling and would increase
the receipts of the growers without in
creasing the price paid for bread by
consumers.
For the purpose he continued. "of
increasing the membership by getting
grain growers to sign our articles of
agreement to market this years grain
crop collectively, we have already made
definite arrangements for holding of
meetings of grain growers between
now and the last Tuesday in July, and
we expect to arrange several hundred
more meetings before that date.
with the farmers union and the
American Society of Equity working
tremendously to one end, the doom of
the Spectator and the useless middle
man is sealed
| The report of the committee on reso-
| lutions was the most important feature
of the session The resolutions urged
| opposition to legislation which aims
| to control railroad rates by ignoring
| state rights In the matter. Efforts of
congressman to secure appropriations
/ for agricultural schools are also en-
| dorsed. One resolution adopted urges
| the use of cotton in the manufacture of
| Irvine, rope. sacks and other articles in
| common use. 1t was stated in the
meeting that six million more bales OF
| cotton would be consumed if manufac-
| turers would use cotton of the south
instead of importing jute from the
| Philippine islands
The resolutions also favor the build
| ing of good roads. The farmers strong
| ly favor rigid legislation to prevent
| gambling in wheat. Resolutions to this
| effect We're adopted.

BRYAN AND TOLSTOI.
Both Come in for Attention from Col
Roosevelt.

New York. May 14-Ex-President
Roosevelt, in the current number of
the outlook combats the statement
credited to Count Leo Tolstoi that
Bryan represented the party of peace
in the last presidential campaign. On
this point Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Now there was but one point in the
platform of either political party in
1908, which contained an element of
menace to the peace of the world. This
was the plank in the Bryanite plat
form which demanded the immediate
exclusion by law of all Asiatic labor
ers and thereof of the Japanese.
Coupled with this was the utterly
meaningless plank about the navy,
which was however, intended to con-
vey the impression that we ought to
have a navy only for the defense OF
our coasts; that is. a merely defensive
navy, or in other words. q quite worth
less navy
The ex-president expresses the opin-
ion that Tolstoi has swayed or DOM
mated, only the feeble folk and the
fantastic folk and that his influence
over men of action has not been great
