THE COFFEE TRUST AGAIN.

IF not incompatible with the public interest"
the Administration will be asked to tell Congress
why it dismissed the antitrust suit against the Coffee
trust 1t is hard to imagine anything incompatible"
about letting the country know the facts. The fact
that there is Safe Department relationship involved
that the government of Brazil is party to tine
coffee combination, and is credited with asking that
the suit be dismissed, ought not to be reason for
refusing the information. If Brazil has asked moth
ing more than is right and reasonable her govern
ought to want the people of the United States
to know it. Brazls best customer vastly the largest
consumer of her two great staples, coffee and
rubber is the United States On the other hand
Brazil is very poor patron of the United States.
In these circumstances, the American people
would like to know whether a particularly undesir-
able combination in restraint Of trade and promotion
Of extortion; combination backed by international
banking interests, and aimed primarily at sknning
the American people; combination that seeks to
substitute scarcity for plenty by nullifyng the laws
of supply and demand combination that is regard
ed in the commercial world as very little better than
an international highwayman of trade-the people,
we say would like to know whether tnat sort of a
combination is getting immunity and consideration
because a sovereign nation is a participant in it.
Congress attitude toward this combination can
hardly be doubted 1t passed the resolution that
really initiated the prosecution of this combination
After that because investigation developed doubt Of
the applicability of the existing statutes, it amended
those statutes for the specific and particular reason
that it wanted law to reach this case.
The law officers of the last Administration were
insistent in their prosecution of the combination.
They brought it right to the verge of complete sur
render and severe punishment. Then it went out
of office, and the new Administration dismisses the
suit under circumstances which justify grave doubts
whether there has been a good-fath settlement
compatible with the best interests of the American
consumers of coffee.
Congress ought to adopt the resolution that
Senator Norris will introduce asking for the facts
and Brazirs foreign office will make pathetic mis-
take if it appeals again to State Department to
protect it.

SET PRAYER DAY FOR
REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Secretary Of State Bryan Makes
Public Appeal Sent Here by
Far East Christians.

Next Sunday has been set aside as
a day of prayer for the success of the
new Chinese republic All citizens OF
the United States who desire to join
in this international supplication for the
new nation are requested to do so.
Secretary of state Bryan made public
the appeal received here yesterday from
China. 1t follows:
Prayer is requested for the national
assembly now in session, for the new
government, for the President who is
to be elected, for the constitution of the
republic. that the government may he
recognized by the powers, that peace
MAJ reign within our country. that
strong and virtuous men may be elected
TO Office. and that the government may
be established upon strong foundation.
Upon receipt of this telegram you are
requested to notify all churches in your
province that April q has been set aside
as n day of prayer for the nation. Let
Us all take part
For nation which is still. in the
eyes of the world, almost exclusively
Buddhist and Confucian, this appeal TO

FARMERS INTEREST RATES.

Department of Agriculture investigations reveal
marked difference in the rates paid on loans by
farmers in the various natural geographical divisions
that the average rate paid by farmers is about 81
per cent But this average is forced up by the very
high of the Central States west of the Misss-
sippi the far Western States, and particularly the
Southern Central States.
Ii Something to note that agricultural prosperity
has not been the highest where interest have
been at the lowest, and correspondingy that gener-
ally speaking where the interest rates paid by
farmers have been the highest there prosperity has
been the highest.
Thus in the North Atlantic States, where there
has been no agricultural boom approaching anything
like that of other parts of the country, the interest
rate is less than per cent In the Northern Central
States Of the Mississippi it is less than 6H per
cent An ordinary commercial rate in the East is 6
per cent, and probably in the Northern Central
States east of the Mississippi it is larger.
In tine Northern Central States west of the
Mississippi, where the farmers as individuals and as
whole have coined fabulous wealth, the loan rate
10 them has been more than per cent.
In the Southern Central States, where cotton
and other products of highly favored soil have re-
endowed that part of the nation with treasure
than ever dreamed of in the days of the old
more than 9H per cent
All this is not to say that high interest rate
has made so to speak, prosperity for those farmers
that have best prospered Naturally enough, if,
paying those very high interest rates, the Western

A PLACE FOR PROTEST.

The Senate Committee on Census met Saturday
to consider President Wilson's nomination of direc-
tor of the census. For that place he has named
State Chairman Harris, of the Georgia Democracy.
If confirmed, Mr.. Harris will succeed E. Dana
Durand an experienced and acknowledged expert in
both the administrative and statistical features of
this Office.
Tne Census Committee, it develops, was in ses-
sion an hour and did not report the nomination for
confirmation. There has been indisposition to dis
cuss the details of the committees considerations
but the fact that no action taken, and that the
committee will consider the subject again Wed
nesday indicates that the protest which this paper
made against this appointment has found ecno in
Congress.
Ii is easy to believe President Wilson may have
made that nomination without much zest for it. The
Census Bureau ought TO be absolutely removed
from political bias. 1t is just about the last place
in the Government service that should be used to
reward the head of State committeeman though
that committee did produce States delegation for
the right candidate at the right time.
Those Republicans who have been anxious for
fight on the Wilson nominations, would do we'll to
fight every nomination of this kind that is to the
Senate, and to acquesce amiably and gracously in
nominations which are not subject to the objections
that lie against this one There is hundred times
more chance for real public service, for patriotic
effort-and for good politics we'll airing and
opposing every purely political nomination, such
this than there is in general flibuster against the
patronage distribution.
No public sympathy will be aroused by an in
discriminate effort to keep the postofhces away from
Democratic pluggers in order that Republican plug
gers may retain them. But highly intelligent and
understanding support will rise up at the back of any
coterie of serious-minded Senators who will fight
and fight hard, to keep such places the director
snip of the census from being used as capital prizes
in the lottery of partisanship.

MRS. STORY,S VICTORY.

The election of Mrs. William Cumming Story,
of New York, to be president general of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, is the
triumph of the outs" over the ins.' The struggle
has been going on for several years. and has become
the basis of an acute factonal division of the organ
ization. Mrs. Story has been tine candidate of the
outs" and there has been good deal of bitter
ness in the contest
Exactly what it really has all been about the out
side public has never had very accurate idea. In
that regard it has not been unlike a good many
political contests in which the men the factors.
Anyhow, Mrs. Story has at last which demon
strates once more that the way to win is to have
the staying quality that comes up after every sue
cessive defeat ready take another if necessary.
1t isn't difficult to believe that Colonel Bryan,
Senator La Toilette, and some other gentlemen
with Presidential aspirations of another sort, ght
find encouragement in the careful study of leaf
from the experience of Mrs. Story a candidate
who couldn't be kept beaten.
