FARMERS AND THE TRUSTS.


The farmers are having their In
ming. If they manifest disposition
to run away with things-it win be
nothing out Of harmony with human
nature.
just now the growers of cotton are
holding the boards. At a meeting of
the Farmers union--an organization
composed of men who apply themselves
to the production of the great white
staple-it was resolved to hold the
present crop for Is cents per pound.
AS there are several hundred thousand
members. strict adherence to the policy
can, OF course, go far toward compelI-
ing something in the way of a higher
price for their commodity.
At the same gathering of delegates.
speakers proclaimed that unless the
farmers safeguarded themselves they
would eventually be consumed by the
trusts. 1t probably did not occur to the
tillers Of the soil that the plan and
purpose OF their organization is essen
TALLY trust--and that IL power suffi-
cient was acquired they would them
selves do the swallowing.
All of which goes to show that this
IL an age in which the atmosphere is
surcharged with the trust idea. II is
approaching the time when the man
who can consistently arraign the trusts
win belong to that isolated class--for
whose goings and comings no one holds
himself responsible.

Mandan Pioneer: The proposed
candidacy Of Congressman Hanna for
attention among politicians. and those
well informed, in both factions of the
party are beginning to consider what
bearing his candidacy would have on
the welfare Of the party as a whole.
1t Is not known as yet whether Mr..
Hanna will consent to run and ter
inmate his career in congress. The
re-districting of the state which put
Congressman Helgesen in Hanna
district, means the retirement of one
or the other, and the friends of Hell
gesen claim that Hanna would be UNI
able to carry the primaries. This Is
by no means conceded by Hanna's
friends, but the proposition TO make
Hanna governor Is born Of the desire
to effect harmony for it should assure
Hanna Of the undivided support Of
the progressives, should he relinquish
the congressionay field to Helgesen.
And it Is in congress rather than In
state politics that the progressives
prefer to shine. The only prominent
progressive thus far mentioned for
governor is Lieut. GOV. Burdick, and 1t
Is said he wants to go to congress
rather than occupy the governors
chair.
Congressman Hanna is undoubted-
w very strong in the state at'iarge az
witness his heavy vote in the prima-
ries last year, and pending the decis-
ion OF the Fargo congressman as 70
whether or not he will enter the race
for governor. 1t Is likely there will be

SPOKANE COMMISSION
TALKS ABOUT CHURCH

SPOKANE, Oct. 27. = David c.
Coates, commissioner of public
works in Spokane, might as well have
pounced upon cluster of hornets
nests as to attack the Christian rel
igion in it's present-day practices of
the profit system, which he discussed
at meeting of working men at Car
penters hall. The replies of the
preachers, headed by the Very Rev.
William G. Hicks, dean of All Saints
Episcopal church, are full of barbs
and the end is not in sight.
Mr.. Coates, who was at one time
lieutenant governor of Colorado. de-
clared in his address that the church
itself is the chief stumbling block to
Christian life. He charged the
church with responsibility for social
and economic environment of the day,
which, he said, kept men and women
from leading Christian lives. He also
fatty accused organized Christianity
of being mercenary in it's attitude, say
ing it supports the profit system be-
cause this means money.

the saloon, but it does not make a
move to eradicate the system which
makes the saloon and other places
possible. 1t harbors the human agents

places the hand of commentator up

Mr.. Coates referred to the union re-
vival meetings in Spokane recently
when Gypsy Smith, an English evan
gelist, conducted the services, adding
in closing: Until justice takes the
place of charity, the church will full

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27.-Interest
today in the Mcnamara case was cen
tered at Indianapolis where the feder-
al grand jury is expected to begin
an investigation of the raid on the Of
ficers of the International Association
of Bridge Structural Steel and Iron
Workers.
The investigation was forced by De-
tective w. ]. Burns, it's real object
being to devise means for getting to
Los Angeles the alleged evidence garn-
cred in raid on the headquarters of
the union. Burns wants to use them
against the McNamaras. If the evidence
is brought here the defense will fight
hard against it's admittance, contending
that there is no connection between
dynamite and the clocks founds there,
and the Los Angeles Times explosion.
If the alleged evidence is brought
here, the attorneys for the defense de-
clare that there are many precendents
to keep it out of the trial The prose-
cution says an exact parallel arose in
