IMPRESSION MADE
BY GERMAN NOTE
On American People is Two
Fold-Decided Sting in
Tail of Note

The impression made here by
the last note. to Germany is two
fold. Iu declaring that "The
Government will continue to
contend for that freedom (of the
seas), from whatever quarter vi
olated, without compromise and
at any COST" the President has
won again unanimous approval
and Unlimited support. This is
neutrality to make both Ger.
many and Great Britain respect
aud observe all American rights.
But the public satisfaction at
this assertion of the principle for
which America fought in 1912,
gives way to wonderment at the
sting in the tail of the note-the
deliberately unfriendIy" clause.
This, 1t is pointed, is not the lam
Guage of diplomacy, but of war.
It is like the crash of a gun in
the midst of a friendly discus
sion, and the American people is
at loss to interpret it, especially
as. our warning to England was
in the usual polite language of
diplomacy, without any tendency
toward an ultimatum.
1t cannot be thought that the
President see ks war. 1t is posi-
BILE rather that he does not fore
see the consequences of making
the issue the basis of an ultima
tum. To him the safe conduct Of
AmerIcPn travellers at sea is a
principle; to Germany tits mere
ly practical matter. A princi-
pie cannot be adjusted a practi
cal matter can.

WOMEN DEMAND SEN
 FENCE OF POSTMASTER

Hackensack, N. J., Aug. 17.-The women who were behind the prosecu- ton of former Postmaster George A, Hurd of Haworth, N. J., on chares brought by his pretty assistant. Miss Martha L. Conrad, do not conceal ther anger over Hurd's disappearance after they worked hard to bring about his conviction. The sentencing of ot Hurd, who was convicted last May. has been postponed from time to time, until today, when he is ordered to apper. For a dozen weeks since his conviction, Hurd has been at lib- erty. Twice the case has been called up for sentence, but Hurd failed to appear. He faces a sentence of S2, 900 flne, fifteen years imprisonment, or both. Hurd IS alleged to have left home in June and has not been seen since. His counsel said recently that Hurd was in Arkansas. His wife and children say they do not know where hS 10, piiu CIiS OOlluSIIltI nave been worrying.
 Mrs. Herbert Van Dusen and Mrs. Benjamin Olcott of Haworth, and other women who were interested in the prosecution of the case, are outspok- en. "There is something wrong" said Mrs. Van Dusen. "The man was convicted, released on the mere bail of $2,00O and now he is gone. The excuse that the record could not be transcribed is too shallow. I just wish that we women could get hold of Hurd and handle him. He would not now be missing, but be in jail. We will be in court to see that this man gets his just deserts"

SOME THINGS EVERY FARMER
 OUGHT TO KNOW.

Do you know that the railroad men and merchants of Little Rock and other trade centers have already per fected arrangements for handling the corn crop in Arkansas. At a meet ing. composed of the railroad men and wholesale merchants of Little Rock. held some time ago, arrange ments were made to buy up the Ark ansas corn crop, ship it to Louisiana to supply the shortage there and then ship corn from Missouri to supply the shortage caused by selling the Arkansas crop of Louisiana.
 This will make fine business for the railroad men and merchants but 1t will be hard on the farmer. There will be a surplus of cattle and hogs which no doubt will be sold to any old buyer who may happen along. and shipped out of the state to be fattened, butchered and shipped back to the Arkansas merchant to be sold on credit next year. This will also be fine for the middle man and the rail road but Arkansas farmers will never get their own as long as such condl- tions exist.
 In little while the crops will begin to move and there will not be farm CT in the state, perhaps, who will Dc in a position to h [ these condition and demand his price for the produo of his labor. The railroad people ar organized, the merchants are organ ized and altogether they combine their forces but the farmers take il single handed and alone each fearing to trust his fellow. When will we ever learn? J. M. THOMAS.
