Two Views on the Ohio Mix-up.

Two Views on the Ohio Mix-up.
Political brigandage" is Colonel
Roosevelt's view of the seizure of Ohio's
State Convention, and the election of
Taft delegates at large, although the
party primaries in the State went the
other way.
1.-THE sober second thought of Ohio"
is the Taft view of the same thing as
voiced by National Committeeman
Vorys.
AS a matter of fact, few sober
thinkers will accept either theory with
out qualification. tits not ''brigandage"
for State convention to exercise its
legal powers as the consciences of its
delegates dictate. Nor is there the
slightest reason to think that the
Ohioans who voted in the primaries
for Roosevelt have had any change of
heart, or take any sober second
thought, on the issue involved. What
is true is that the Stand-Patter ma
chine beaten at the polls, was still
strong enough to juggle itself into
control by narrow margin of the
State convention. Having that mar
row-margin control, it used it for the
advantage of President Taft. In doing
so, it did what politicians have always
done under such conditions. "Mores"
means customs, common practices, the
actions that are conventional. Hence
there can be no immortality in what was
done.
Nevertheless, Taft would have been
stronger in the loss of these six dele
gates at large than he is after winning
them. Sentiment has to be reck oned
with. Roosevelt saw that when he
insisted that Taft having won the
preferential vote in Massachusetts, Taft
must have the votes of the delegates
at large, though Roosevelt men had
been elected. The Colonel was posing,
perhaps, most people may think he
was; but he was posing in a way that
made him the advocate of a square
deal" That helped him to win New
Jersey and Ohio.
1t is vast mistake on Taft's part
to imagine that since no more pri.
maries are to be held, sentiment is q
dead issue. The 1918 delegates in the
convention will not all be dominated
by sentiment, but many of them will
be. Moreover, this Taft mistake is
one of which Colonel Roosevelt, a much
better politician, would have beer
absolutely incapable. Brooklyn Eagle

ON CROPS
Valuable Work of the New York
i State Grange.

Monthly Compilations Furnished From
Data Supplied by Grange Lecturers.
Quotations Received From All Parts
of State Are Disseminated For In
formation Of Patrons and Farmers.
The New York state grange has be-
gun the work of establishing a month
ly crop report compiled from reports
sent by the grange lecturer in each
county. In the spring this report will
contain the acreage planted in various
staples and through the summer will
note the conditions and prices prevail
ing. During the winter there has been
a scarcity of hay. and prices have ris-
en- accordingly, ranging from SIS ton
in Broome and Chenango counties, the
lowest paid, to $25, the highest figure
in Monroe county. Potatoes were re-
ported short in all counties except
Steuben. the prices ranging from 81
cents in Yates to S1.05 in Delaware
county. Eggs have been high all win
Ter III I'LL COuulleS, none TepOTtluB less
than 30 nor more than 40 cents. Three
dollars n barrel is the highest reported
for apples and $1.25 the lowest, with
divided opinion as to the supply. Quo
! tations on corn and oats are about the
same from all parts of the state-50 to-
60 cents a bushel for oats and 65 to
| 80 cents for corn.
For long time there has been a dis
trust among the farmers of many crop
reports published, it being believed
by the farmers and growers that that
method is taken to lower or boost
prices, as occasion may arise, for com
mission men and middlemen. If there.
is fair crop of apples out goes the re
port, say the apple growers, that the
crop is immense and prices paid the
orchardist will be accordingly low.
This naturally affects prices to the ad-
vantage of the buyer and the disadvau-
tage of the grower.
To furnish, SO far as possible, an un-
biased and true report of prices and
conditions the state grange has adopt
ed the plan above.
