Keep Watch on Both.

Does prohibition prohibit? re-
fer to the law prohibiting burglary.
1t seems impossible to stop burglars.
Snail we license them so as TO at
least get some revenue out Of what
we can't prevent'?' A correspond
ent has this to say in the Whining
ton Star. The communication is
short, but full of sound logic. The
law against selling liquor and the
law against burglary are both vio-
lated. There is no man living that
would say repeal the law against
burglary, and yet there is as much
sense in repeating that as in repeal
ing the law that says no whiskey can
be sold within the State. And it is
just as much an officers business to
run down blind tigers as it is to run
down burglars.-Rowland Sun.

Publishing The Farmers.

The name of the proposed trade
agreement with Canada, called by
it's advocates, "a Reciprocity
Treaty." should be changed to "An
Agreement to Punish American
Farmers for Voting the Democratic
Ticket"
For years the strength of the
Democratic party in the North and
centra! West has been in the cities
where the cost of living is said to
be high, while the Republican vote
has been in the country. The DEM
ocrats have been carrying such large
cities as New York, Chicago, Cleve-
land, Baltimore and Boston, while
the Republicans carried the rural
districts in the States in which those
cities are situated.
In the elections last fall the farm
ers in large numbers who had here
tofore voted the Republican ticket,
either remained at home on election
day or voted the Democratic ticket.
We have not the room to print dis
cussion of the cause which led the
farmers TO give the Democrats con-
troll of the lower house Of Congress
and almost control of the Senate.
The Democratic party has always
stood for equal rights for all and
special privileges to none, yet in
Congress we find number of Dem
ocrats who are advocating this Re-
publican measure to punish the farm
ers for voting the Democratic ticket
last fall. A large majority of the
farmers of the South have been vot-
ing the Democratic ticket ever since
reconstruction days, but if they are
to be punished along with the North
ern and Western farmers there is
no telling what they may do in tt e
future.
This paper is published on a farm,
and is owned, edited and published
by farmer, and it claims the farm
er has not received too much for the
products of the farm. The city pa
pers tell us that the adoption Of the
trade agreement will not cause the
farmer to receive less for what he
has to sell, and in the same breath
advocate the ratification of the treaty
in order to lower the price Of farm
products and reduce the cost of liv-
ing. Rich Square Times.
