The lingo Argument.

The sun has never questioned the sincerity Of
inanv of those who argue that this country has
a right to exempt its shipping from pay
ment of Panama canal tolls. It is hardly neces-
sary to say that it believes President Taft sin
cere, an dmany others. But it does recognize
the fact that among those who opposing
the repeal of the exemptions many men
whose motives are Questionable indeed. who
favor free tolls because they aid monopoly, be-
cause they are a subsidy, because they const-
tnte special privilege for corporations with
which these advocates of free tolls allied.
How shall we tell the sincere from the in
sincere? A good way No fancy. is To note the
extent which they employ the lingo argu-
ment and the emphasis they place upon it.
Every intelligent man, with qualifications to
speak upon this subject knows that in re-
pealing these exemptions we are not giving up
control Of the canal 10 England. We are not
surrendering anything to England. We are not
allowing England to whether we shall or
shall not grant subsidies to any American In
herest IF we repealed the exemption clause to-
day we could grant subsidies to either the coast
wise shipping the foreign shipping tomorrow
and England would not raise her voice in the
slightest degree against It, 1t would be an inn
pertnence on her part If she should. Neither
England any other country would dare 10
interfere in what is matter for us alone TO
determine, that would be.
The subsidyists- by -ndirection know this They
dare not appeal for q subsidy openly, because
they know that the Democratic party is COM
tnitted by every tradition and pledge and rule
of honor to opposition to all such special
privileges. They know that they never
hope 10 win by open and fair argument, and
therefore they resort TO this appeal to ancient
seiudice Because George III was a fool in
she eighteenth century they ask the American
people to make fools of themselves In the
twentieth.
There liz, of course. neither sincerity
tecency in behavior of this sort. 1t is
demagoguery of the worst sort. 1t is. in the
Democrats who indulge in it. kind If treachery
which deserves the singing rehuke It got Tues
day in tn ehouse OF Representatives and which
we hope II will get with equal force in the
enate OF the United States Baltimore Sun.

Il is fnconceivable how the bunder was ever
made Petersburg Index-Appeal
Senate should Not Delay.

More than one weighty reason why the senate
cannot fail TO repeal canal tolls exemption exists
Almost beyond doubt the upper house will give
the president the legislation he asked and urged
Then why not do 1t with all speed? II is urgent
legislation President Wilson has said that
delicate diplomatic negotiations are involved
Quite evidently he is handicapped by the ex-
istenee of the exemption law. The house has
LOYALTY and generously responded.to his appeal
the senate should hasten to make its action ef-
,fective.
At the beginning of the house debate fears
of hopeless party disruption were expressed; Yet
four out of every five Democratic members
voted for repeal, anG already there are indica-
lions that the small rift in the ranks is closing.
But what if the senate should refuse to place in
the presidents hands the power he so earnestly
a sked and which the house quickly and
smphatically bestowed? That would indeed be
a spectacle of a divided party, which Demo-
Gratis would shudder to contemplate. OF course,
il cannot come about To prevent such catas-
trophe Democratic Senator'S would owe It to the
party to put aside all personal opinions and
affiliations and make repeal rigid party issue
Since repeal must triumph, why delay the
hour? Thsre can be little profit in protracted
debate All that can be said on either side OF
the question has been said already. Without
doubt II the Sims bin could be put to a vote to-
day 1t would have a substantial majority OF
votes Delay or ding debate will change scracely
any, and meanwhile the president is waiting.
His closest supporters in the senate should put
forth every effort to expedite the measure

We not surprised at this determination of

EMPLOYEES STRIKE
AGAINST ILLNESS
THIRTY THOUSAND RUSSIANS
LEAVE WORK ON ACCOUNT
OF EPIDEMIC.

ST. PETERSBURG. April 4.--The
mysterious epidemic which has been
prevailing in several large establish
ments here, including the Pulikoff
armar4ent works. has broken out
with renewed virulence among the
women employees of tobacco and
rubber factories.
Thirty thousand workmen are al
ready on strike through fear. against
the mysterious illness. the cause of
which has not yet been ascertained.
The belief that the epidemics are
the result OF malicious poisoning by
some miscreants, with the object Of
melting the workmen against their
employers, is becoming stronger. Al
ienists suggest that many of the wo-
men reported sick are suffering from
hysteria, caused by the alarm wnen
the first outbreak occurred.

HITS THE FARMERS
Ohio Agriculturists Heavy Loosers
Since Republicans Went Out.

Washington, July 27.-Ohio
wheat farmers have lost an average
of $4,000, each, a year by the slump
in the price of wheat since the Re-
publican Party went out of power.
All the Ohio wheat farmers put to-
gether have lost $5,775,000 year.
Recent hot debates in the House
of Representatives led to an inves-
tigation of wheat prices. The re-
suits of this investigation are now
given out for the first time. The
figures given are right up to July l..
They reveal a general slump of fif-
teen cents bushel in wheat prices
since Republican times.
There are 1877, ,523 wheat report
ing farmers in Ohio, whose estimat-
ed wheat production this year was
3S,500,000 bushels. The figures
show the average wheat farmer
throughout the country has lost
$95.00 a year through the decrease
in the price of his wheat from what
it was under Republican times. The
loss to the wheat farmers of the
whole United States is S139, 9,500,00
a year. The total estimated wheat
production of the country for this
year is 93O,OOO,OOO bushels; from
reports from 1 1,45S,667 wheat farm
ers.

FEEDING CHEAP WHEAT
Conditions Under Which Wheat
May Be Fed With Profit.

Numerous letters received by the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton indicate that, on account of the
relatively low market price of wheat
many farmers are planning to feed
wheat to livestock. Corn and wheat
are very similar in chemical compo-
sition, and numerous feeding trials
have shown that they have about
the same feeding value per pound.
There is greater need for grinding
wheat than is the case with corn,
for the small hard grains of wheat
are likely to escape mastication and
digestion if fed whole, and it is ad-
visable to grind for all kinds of live
stock except sheep and poultry. On
account of the pasty character of
wet ground wheat it is frequently
worth while to mix coarser or more
granular feed with the ground
wheat. Feeding whole wheat alone
to horses in any large amount is, in
addition to wasting a part of the
grain, likely to cause digestive
troubles; and wheat, ground or
whole is probably less satisfactory
for horses than for other stock.
The need for using such feeds as
tankage, linseed oilmeal, skim milk
or green feeds in pork production is
not greatly diminished, if at all, by
using wheat in place of corn. Rye
has a slightly lower feeding value,
and lower palatability, particular
ly for poultry, than has either corn
or wheat. Rye has the same need
for grinding as has wheat. When
ground wheat or ground rye may
be had at price as low as that of
shelled corn, they may well be used
in animal feeding; otherwise their
use is likely to result in loss instead
of profit.

the fertility of the region is largely
due. But its further preparation for
the important role which 1t has played
in the religious history of the world

"Tom Latham for state central COM
mitteeman." That is the slogan that
is going up all over Huron county. The
united Republican party is for Latham,
practically to man. In 1912 Latham
was known far and wide over the state
as one of the Roosevelt leaders; this
year he is just as firm Republican as
anyone. He has the habit of standing
by his convictions; no one ever has to
guess where Tom Latham stands. He
has been a leader in the "get-together"
movement this year and has done
much toward cementing the Republi-
cans and PrQgressives into solid pha-
lanx against entrenched Democracy.
His oft-repeated battle-cry of "the way
to get together is to get together" has
become household axiom among Re-
publicans and Progressives in old
Huron. We believe Mr.. Latham would
make most valuable member of the
state central committee and that he
ought to be named at the August pri-
mary election.-Adv.
