Our 'Steemed Baseball Critics

Had it not been for the gIarlng
difference in the shade of the two
first issues of the Beaver Valley
Gazette, one being a mild pink and
the other weak vermil'ion, we
should never have noticed the alleg-
ed masterpiece Of sarcasm. entitled
"Glendive's Two-Bit Team,' which
we venture to assume was written
under the stress of some violent
emotion such as malice toward
none; Charity for all.' etc.
We do not wish to be misconstru-
ed in our reference to the color of
the paper, "a long. dis tance' away.
be-it-such-like, but while not being
exactly color-blind, we do not pose
as an authority on colors. so will
modify our above statement as to
the color of the Wibaux paper, and
humbly admit that we do not know
whether it is pink, or YELLOW, or
if it be a mixture of White and blew.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
not a single person in Glendive, or
married one either for that matter,
saw the article referred to, notwith'
standing it occupied the very first
half of the very first column on the
very first page of the very first is-
sue in April, but as our much ad-
vertised friend, Postum, would say.
There's a reason"
The editor. or sporting editor, or
reporter, by the name of White, who
evidently wrote the article refers to
"Glendive's Two.Bit Team as being
supported by ''BENOVELENT'
business men. We have looked this
word no, Charlie, but we can't seem
to locate it. 1t may mean, however,
the condition a business man gets
into from reading NOVELS. but we
won't be sure.
We have also looked up the refer
ence to the Glendive team being
supported ION the usual NlCkLE
plan," but Webster must have over
looked it. 1t is a nice word, hoWev-
er, and we will use it sometime to
rhyme with "pickle.'
AS to the Estate National Bank
being the official custodian OF the
funds would say that we have
looked all over town, and so far
have been unable to locate the Bank
in question. 1t may be here at that,
there are so many new enterprises
starting up, but as yet we have been
unable to find it.
Furthermore, we have never
known that Bank could be known
as State and as National Bank at

PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS
PRICES.

The present discussion Of high liV-
ing costs in this country began
number of years ago and has con-
tinued without interruption ever
since. Trust-fXed prices, speculation
in perishable foods conserved by cold
storage, too heavy transportation
charges, over-refnement of the sys-
tenn of distribution and excessive
proft-taking by middlemen, have
been charged singly and collectively
with the responsibility. Pleas in
avoidance or denial have been en-
tered in behalf of all or nearly all
of these alleged causes. The discus
sion goes round and round in a cir
Gle. We have had one congressional
investigation of the matter and an
international investigation is now
proposed.
Though the remedy-assuming
that there is one, which some folks
deny-seems nearly as far away as
ever, the discussion has developed
certain interesting and instructive
facts-one being that the prices paid
the producer for foodstuffs in very
many instances bear no relation to
the prices which the ultimate con-
sumers" pay for those same commo-
dities. Is is rather surprising, there
fore, to find a rural contemporary
Gongratulating its farming constitu-
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-01-09

ers experienced in supplying the
markets with vegetables, fruit, etc.,
agree with them. At least one farm
ers' organization has gone on record
to that effect. Mr.. futile is openly
of the opinion that he should get
more money for his beans, and that
the ultimate consumer should at the
same time pay very considerably
less. His view is, we think, the cor
rect one. We should be sorry to see
the great body of American farmers
rally to the defense of the excessive
prices charged to urban consumers
for their product on the ground that
these prices were necessary to farm
ing prosperity. For if the burden
some excess is ever to be cut out it
will have to be done, we suspect, by
friendly and intelligent cooperation
between the producers and the con-
sumers.-The Times Democrat, New
Orleans.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-01-09

ency, on the theory that the Gin
creased and increasing cost Of liv-
ing constitutes the foundation Of
farm prosperity
The other day conference of pro-
ducers and consumers was held in
New York City on the call of ''cOm-
mittee Of cooperation" of the New
York State Agricultural society. One
Ezra futile, a grower Of beans at
PASSPORT, Long Island, rose to testify
how the high cost of living had
prOspered him as a truck farmer
during the past season. His bean
crop was a good one, but he sold it
on the New York City market at 40
cents a bushel and out of that paid
the freight and the brokers' COM
mission. 81 went down to Washing
ton market" he added, land found
my beans selling to consumers at
$3.50 a bushel. And the difference
between what l got and what they
sold for at retail did not go to the
Long Island railroad, either" H.
b. Fullerton, another Long Island
farmer, raised cauliflower and
shipped it to Washington market in
New York. He was paid As cents
a barrel, and saw his caulifower
sold at retail for rs cents a head.
These Long Island farmers do not
consider that the thigh cost of liv-
ing" is of any particular benefit to
them. And thousands Of other farm

The last report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission shows that during the last year
18O123 were killed and injured by the rail
roads in the United States
Of the 18O123, 1O,858 were killed, an in
crease of 189 killed over the previous year,
to say nothing of the increase of 1880 in
jured.
Of the 8,215 wrecks that occurred, 1877
were due to defects of roadway, and 3,847
were due to defective equipment, or, of the
8,215, 1924 were caused by defects that could
have been prevented.
The commission reports one instance where
90G rotten cross ties were found within dis
lance of 147 rail lengths, an average of over
six rotten ties to the rail length.
It seems to cost the railroads less to take
human life than it costs them to maintain
safe road-bed and trains equipped with mod
ern safety appliances, and they take the
human lives at the lower cost.
The remedy for defects of roadway and
defective equipment is prosecution of rail
road officials for criminal negligence, and
until the remedy is applied the slaughter will
continue, as it has continued since the craze
for big dividends on watered stock began.
