n5stAing in the President's Indian
apallssspeech seems, to have caused
moro irritation in Republican circles
than his remark that the Republican
pasty has not had . pew idea for
thirty years" .ass
Yet this u precisely what 100000
.nepuhlicans said in 1912. and they not
Only said i but voted It. Why should
It be regarded % an exhibition Of Of
fensive partisanship for. q Democratic
President to say Of the Republican
party what 100000 Republicans have
said Of It at the ballot-box?
The Republican party Of 1915 is not
only reactionary, but it is even more
reactionary today than 1t was in 1912.
Then, at least, the progressive leaven
was at work. Now the party has
-meekly. submitted to the leadership Of
Penrose and Cannon and Barnes and
-Gallinger, and confesses to no princi-
,ple except the property principle.
The Republican party stands where
Webster. stood. 1t is the great cham.
spion Of property privileges. It has no
other dominating idea. It pretends to
have no other dominating idea. Why,
then, should there be so much irrita'
stion against the President for defining
tits place in contemporary politics?
Every country needs one party that
= stands for, property and property
srightA provided the property principle
10; not carried to extremes. That is the
fTory function in self government. The
Democratic party wrecked itself and
salmost wrecked the country once by
carrying the theory Of property to
what 1T regarded as logical con.
sclusion. The Republican party wreck
ed itself in 1912 and brought the coun-
try, to the, edge of great political
revolution by carrying its more subtle
theory Of property to logical con-
clusion.y
After the Civil War the country
soon tired of idealism, and it may
again be firing Of idealism. IT, it is,
the Republican party !, and property
rights will carry the elections in
1916. But there should be no false
prstenses about it. It will BEES new
triumph for. the one, idea that the Re.
publican party has, consistently repre-
sented since .recopstruction, and ~ q
historian M. WilsSn could hardly be
.expeoted, TO proclaim it as ? new idea.

normal conditions, comes better late
than never, but now the editor should
go further and instead of harping ON
the enormous crop of the United
States and Canada, call attention to
the fact that a big per cent of that
crop is of inferior milling quality
and that the farmers who have No. l
grain are in strong position. No
newspaper which really has the in
terests of the farmers at heart would
persistently emphasize bear reports
and urge the producers to sell their
grain promptly, for such action is
bound to glut the market and hold
down or reduce the price. When
everybody wants to sell wheat, the
exporters are in clover, and they
owe the Spokesman-Review a vote Of
thanks for its efforts in their behalf.

FUNDAMENTALS OF CO-OPERA-
TION

The essential principles of CO.
operative business organization are
beginning to be more clearly COM
pretended by the farmers of the
country but there are many who
do not yet understand the real mean
ing OF this system of business. A
cooperative business organization is
formed not primarily for the purpose
OF earning dividends on capital, but
that the members may retain the
profits on the business that they
themselves furnish to the associa-
ton.
Equality of opportunity is the key
note of cooperation. This is indi-
Gated in the bylaws of every
association that has any right
to be called cooperative. The num-
Der of shares of stock that one in
dividual can hold is limited and no
shareholder can have more than
one vote, whether he holds one share
or the limit of shares, which in Kan
sas is 10 per cent of the capitaliza-
ton. In short, a cooperative asso-
citation is an organization of men
formed for the purpose of making
and retaining the profits on their
own business as distinguished from
a joint stock corporation which is
an organization created for the sole
purpose of earning dividends on the
money invested.
In an ordinary joint stock corpor-
alton the capital of many sharehold-
ers is com bined and the operations
of the company are conducted for
the purpose of making the largest
possible dividends on the money in
vested and the owners of the stock
share in the profits without any re-
gard to the amount of business that
they furnish to the company. In a
cooperative association the business
of the members is pooled and the
profits are assigned, not to the cap-
ital, but to the men who furnish the
business, each shareholder receiving
a return based, not on his capital in
vested, but on the volume of business
that he has done with the company.
In cooperation the only share of
profits that belongs to capital is the
ordinary interest that money earns
in business or for which money may
be hired from banks and other cre"it
agencies. This is in the neighbor-
hood of eight per cent ana this
charge on earnings is not properly
a part of the profits but is simply
one of the expenses incident to the
transaction of business. Rightly or
ganized and conducted, a cooper
alive business association therefore
rewards capital with it's just claim
and business furnished by the share
holders with the profits to which 1t
is fairly entitled. Capital then is
only one of the agents that enables
business to be carried on and takes
a place secondary to the patronage
supplied by the shareholders with
out which there can be no profits,
no matter how much capital may be
invested in the nterprise.-Kansas

is importing freely, for of American
shipments the week ended Septem-
Der 25, of $4,000 bushels, 2,oS7,
600 bushels were taken by the Ital-
ians.
In the same week the united
kingdom imported 2,86O,O0O bushels,
but it seems probable that the bulk
of it came from Canada. AS the Can
adian government is concealing it's
records of grain shipments, it is i'm
possible to learn what part of the
American movement of $4,000
bushels was taken from the United
States. Imports to other countries
from America were:
Holland ...... 49,. 100000
France $50. -. ...... $780, 900
Spain ...... ...... 49,. 100000
Scandinavia go. 80. 100000
Sweden -. -. ...... 10000
Greece .... ...... $780,
From these records it appears
that France is hardly yet in the mar
ket. but her necessities will drive her
there soon.
"Of the above movement the Pa
cific coast shipped but $4,000
bushels.
Devastating storms continue in
Italy. Late harvesting is delayed
and much wheat stands damaged in
the fields.
"Broomhall's cables for September

has been damaged by rain. Har-
vesting is about finished in Russia,
where large damage is reported from
rain and snow.
I'm Greece crop conditions are UNI
favorable and large imports are ex-
pected.
Harvesting is about over in the
British isles. Broomhall admits that
the weather has been distinctly UNI
favorable and the quality has been
adversely affected, with the yield
much under last year.
Interest is keen in the Russian
situation. An enlarged average was
seeded, but long-continued bad
weather has brought much loss and
impaired the quality. Wartime con-
ditions interfere with transportation
and it looks now as If the Russian
