Was Quoted Erroncously.

Senator Smith explained that a WASH
tngton morning paper a few days ago
had enormously quoted him as admitting
the charge that Prof. Johnston had re-
ceived pay for peace lectures.
He might have made addresses for
subsidiary corporations, organizations, or
societies." suggested Senator O'Gorman,
hopefully.
Il recall that eight or nine months ago
man by the name of Johnston was
reprimanded by the Secretary of War
for delivering lectures for pay on inter-
national peace and arbitration while on
the government pay ROLL" he persisted.
Senator Bristow. another opponent Of
the repeal, declared it to be his belief
that Prof. Johnston was this man.
At this juncture Senator Oliver. also an
opponent of repeal, came to the defense
of Prof. Johnston.
IF not the foremost. he stands among
the foremost statisticians of the coun-
try" declared Nj" Oliver. 'I do not
care by whom he has been employed or
what he does 1 do know and believe
that there is no man in this country who
can say a word against his moral or
mental integrity, or against the integrity
OF his conclusions when he makes an
investigation in the line OF his profess
sion"

BETTER SYSTEMS OF
DISTRIBUTION NEEDED

The need Of better systems of distribu-
tion was emphasized by Thomas Cooper
In an address before the international
Dry Farming Congress. His discussion
was as follows:
The development OF better systems Of
distribution. which involve less loss and
waste. is OF vital Importance in the farm
business. This Is particularly true with
respect to the more perishnble products
Its effect must be to make a larger re.
turn on the farm business Estimates
made in the United States Indicate that
on the average the farmer probably re-
ceives IS to IS cents from each dollar
expended by the consumer. 1t ts said
that the farmer Of Denmark and some
other European countries receives 60 to
IS cents from each dollar expended by
the consumer The Importance Of this
increased return can scarcely be over
estimated. To obtain 1t will require the
united efforts Of communities. the stand
ardizauon OF products. and the develop
opment OF closer social structure
among the smaller producers. II IL OBJ
tainable. but as . factor affecting tho
business Of farming 1t must be solved By
groups OF individuals. It u a problem Of
organization and cooperation. lndivtd-
uai efficiency and skil may solve It only
to limited degree

two ago CHANGED to see couple Of
copies OF The Oakes Times. in one OF
which appeared an article stating that
the state Of Washington had gone wet
by a large majority at the last election.
That is big mistake. which I want to
correct The state OF Washington went
dry by a majority of $4,000 and the pro-
hibitionists are rejoicing over their vic
tory. The women vote In Washington, 70
Seatle's whisky element failed to carry
the state. Someone probably sent you
the first returns and did not take the
trouble TO send the later and correct ones,
We had not been here long enough TO
vote but were just as interested in the
results OF the election. This law does
not go into effect till Jan. l. 1916. hut we
have something definite to look forward
to. I understand some of the liquor men
