creased production per acre is nece5-
sary to make the farm more profitable,
or, in many cases, profitable at all
Opinion is crystalizing along the line
tof better marketing as the solution OF
the problem, accompanied, of course,
by larger yield. For lack of better
marketing facilities, B. F. Yoakum
asserted at the Chicago congress, the
farmers lose $1,7S5, 100000 annually II
unmarketed products, or about one
fifth the value Of the total of farm
production as estimated by the De.
partment of Agriculture.
This, however, is only one side Of
the marketing question. The farmers
feel that they do not get their far
share of what the consumer pays, that
too much is taken between producer
and consumer for mere handling. The
natural remedy is combination mi
marketing, also better railroad facil-
tiles, which are not keeping pace with
production and more direct connec-
ton between producer and consumer.
AS basis for this better marketing,
the Chicago congress recommends the
addition of a division of markets to the
Department of Agriculture, which is
something Secretary Houston has al
ready given his attention Farm creI-
its also are considered necessary to
more profitable farming as a whole.
but this matter of marketing all the
land produces and at proper prices is
the vital one, and it is this which win
absorb most of the farmers attention
for a number of years.

REFUSES TO ADVISE TRUSTS
Attorney General Declines to Commit
Department on Legal Questions

Attorney General McReynolds de-
clines to be counsel for the trusts o,
the United States. As the chief legal
officer of the Federal government, he
is receiving scores of requests for adj
vice as to whether certain lines OF
action by combinations of capital
would violate the Sherman law or
some antitrust decree under it, He has
steadfastly refused to commit the De-
partment of Justice to interpretations
of law because such a course, requir-
ing comprehensive investigation and
study, virtually would make the De-
partment of Justice, he thinks, the leg
al advisory adjunct of commercial in
terests.
Among many others, this attitude
was made known to W d C.. narulne
Of Birmingham, ALI who, introduced
to the Attorney General ~ senator
Bankhead, asked If the government
would object to the American Wire
Company, a subsidiary of the United
States Steel Corporation, completing
its proposed plant at Corey, Ala, work
on which was stopped some time ago.
The Attorney General would not indi-
cate whether the government would
regard this as an improper move in
view Of the pending suit against the
so-called steel trust.

FARM MARKETING

When there is universal complaint
Of the high cost OF all kinds of food
AID clothing and at the same time
such conventions as the one in Chi
cago last week to discuss the problem
OF making the production of food
ard clothing material ON the farm
pay. it indicates something more than
a loose screw in our producing and
distributing machinery. A trouble 50
widespread is naturally diagnosed dif
1erently by the various doctors who
have cures.
Some say the farmer himself is to
blame. because he produces less valu9
per acre than he could if he used more
scientific methods. The Department
of Agriculture, the agricultural col
1eges and experiment stations and the
daily and agricultural press have been
pl eaching this doctrine to the farmers
for years and have been doing their
utmost to spread a knowledge of the
better methods recommended. And
the farmers have been taking the ad-
vice and improving their methods. The
farmer of twenty years ago would
81 arcely feel at home on the modern
farm conducted along advanced lines
But this has not solved the problem.
This Increased production has not kept
pace with the increased consumption,
Yet the farmer does not feel that he
is getting the natural increase in
profit which such a condition should
yield All over the country he is be-
ginning to grumble, and to ask OF
what value to him is 1t TO do extra
work to increase production If the
net result Is the same.

UNDERWOOD A MAN OF SENSE.
Revision of Tariff Landed by a New
York Writer
New York Herald.)

The country is to be congratulated
upon Mr.. UnderwoOd's restoration to
health. He is once more in the van of
the tariff fight, unquestioned leader
not only by reason of his position rs
head of the committee on ways and
means, but because in him are combin-
ed all those qualities necessary 10
successful leadership.
The Democratic party, too, is to be
congratulated. The fate of that party
is bound up in the tariff bill. The last
Democratic tariff act was made by a
theorist, college professor of fine and
lofty ideals-and in it's wake came de-
struction of industry and party defeat.
Similar results would unquestionably
flow from the same brand of tariff
tinkering.
Mr.. Underwood understands what
Mr.. Wilson did not-that the tariff
question is a business question. He
has undertaken tariff revision in the
businesslike way the subject demands.
He has shown his ability to steer clear
of the rocks. The confidence which
the country has in Mr.. Underwood ex-
plains it's refusal to get very much eX-
cited over the prospective tariff
changes.
Mr.. Underwood is man of sense.
He is certainly sane and he seems safe

MODERN CHIVALRY

One phase of the dreadful disasters
by wind and flood which visited the
country Immediately following the
Easter season deserves special COM
ment. There has been great loss of
life, and thousands of hearts are sor-
rowing everywhere for friends and
relatives lost. There has been tie
mendous destruction of property Fam
The accumulations, the small savings,
of years are gone. Factories that rep
resent lifework have disappeared il
a night. Thousands are not only homo
less, but deprived of a means of living
as well. Sickness and death are sure
&c follow to many.
Yet all this, so distressing, is not the
phase of the matter referred to. The
special thought is the many acts of
unconscious heroism that have been
performed, only few OF which we
shall ever know in detail Lives have
been sacrificed to save lives. Others
have been placed in imminent peril
Men, women, boys and girls have
chung to their posts of duty in the
face of almost certain death to help
others escape. The list of these known
deeds of heroism, performed without
thought of either reward or notoriety,
is too long to publish. The unknown
ones would fill volume.
When we contemplate such things
we realize that, if the boosted chivalry
OF old seems to have departed from tn.
age and country, better and finer
chivalry has taken It's place. This i:
chivalry of devotion to duty,
chivalry of helpfulness for Other:
without the expectation of reward
either in money, honor or acclaim, ;
chiyalry of deeds done, not in tn,
pride of caste or profession, but from
kindly heart and heroic soul. 1t 1,
the spirit of the Master translated in
20 spontaneous human conduct, some
thing history does not record as ex
listing to such a degree in forme
times.
1t Is wrong to declaim against tn
cold commercialism and the lack y
obsequious courtesy of the present da,
and overlook the spirit of self-sacri
fee and helpfulness, this unconscious
and unseking heroism, this matter-os
course performance of duty in time
of great peril and for the sake y
others, doing far more than mere duty
in which the women share equally witt
the men. So long as this spirit con
tinues with us we need not despair O
the future of the country.
