POLITICAL G0SSIPs

When one class of people has any
thing to say, It has become largely
the custem to make q political lssue
out OF 1t instead of friendly discus
sion, to print 1t in law book instead
Of newspaper and to argue 1t be-
fore a jury instead Of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
AS result, political agitators, polit-
icai lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, Seltlshness, In.
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere Of misun-
derstandng envelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, yermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air Of
truth and the sunshine Of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointei
interpreters Of industry who are in
capable of graspNg the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories No bu3i-
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding,
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword
When prejudice, su9picion and
class hatred prevail, power saavit3tes
into the hands Of the weak for dema-
gogues thrive upon dis8enSion and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middloman-the political gossip-aud
this result can be accomplished by
the managor7 Of business sitting
around the table Of industry and talk
ing 1t over with the people. Inter
change of Information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare Of the people
in the name Of My Country"

ANNUAL MEETING
Of AMERICAN
PLOWNEN
National Farmers Union Renders Un
selfish Service TO Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year OF
its activities in the interest OF the
American plowman. When that con
vention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head In honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unseltish service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
OF Texas, has grown until geograph
ically il covers almost the whole OF
the United States and economically
1t deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. II has battled for better
marketing system, rural credits cheap
money, dlversitication, scientific pro
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union OF America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer In this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by Others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers OF the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class Of
business, They have better securities
and pay q higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less ConstruC-
tive legislation than any other class
of people The farmers can only aC-
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economics as will
enable them to share eQuitably the
fruits Of their labor through organiza-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow ploWmeu should rally
around the Union.

SON SLAIN WHILE
MOURNING MOTHER

Two members of the family OF
James E. Brewster, farmer living
near Spring Grove, are dead.
Mrs. Brewster died after a linger-
ing illness and Robert Brewster, thir-
ty years old, was murdered in the
kitchen of the home in the midst of
the mourners.
The murder was a result of jeal-
ousy over a girl, Irene King, who
works at the Brewster home.
While young Brewster was in the
kitchen with Miss King, Dennis Smith,
a Brewster farm hand, who had been
paying attention to the girl, entered,
carrying a .32-caliber pistol.
Without warning he began to shoot.
The first bullet struck Brewster in the
jaw.
The girl fed, but the infuriated
lover fired at her. The shot went wide
and she escaped.
A second shot pierced Brewster's
heart and he fell dead.
Smith then fed from the house, TAX
ing with him the revolver. The elder
Mr.. Brewster, who was close by when
the shooting took place, attempted to
follow the slayer, but Smith jumped
into a buggy and drove away.
Smith, who was twenty-one years old,
has lived in the vicinity for some time.

ROYAL BRITISH DUKES
 ARE IN GERMAN ARMY

London, June 8-Two royal dukes of Great Britain are now serving with the German forces, and the questi on has been brought up in the House of Commons as to how to unduke them. In 164O, the point came up in the Guy de Duthyn case, when it was definitely established that no peer of the realm can disown or ex- hnguish his honor. until some new action is taken, the Duke of Albany will continue to serve the Kaiser un- der the title of Prince Charles Edward of Savxe-Coburg and Gotha, and the Duke of Cumberland, likewise Brit tsh born, will also do his duty un- der the double-eagIe as Ernest August William Adolphus George Frederick, Duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg. Both have courtesy commands in the British army, with the Duke of AL bany as a full general
 Both dukes would be subject to ar rest and trial for high treason were they to return to British territory at this time. Yet so far the only ac- ton against them is the recent one of expulsion from the Order of the Garter.
 Until deprived of his British title, the Duke of Albany would take pre- cedence over H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught, the Archbishop of Can i terbury or the Lord Chancellor. The Duke of Albany holds three and the Duke of Cumberland two British peerages with hereditary seats in the house of Lords and both were educat- ed mainly in England The Duchess of Albany, mother of the Duke, re- ceives, an annuity of $3O,OO0 a year from Parliament. She remains in England. Her son succeeded his uncle to his German titles.

POlYCAMY
 URGED IN EUROPE

Berlin, June 8-The suggestion, al- ready preached in some quarters, of a, serious consideration of limited legalized pO1ygamy to replace the hu- man material destroyed by the present war is by no means new! The Frank ish Archives, published in Ansbach in 179O, contain an official protocol of a meeting of the 'tKreistag'' or local diet held at Nuremberg on Feb. 1, 1850, in which was considered the problem of replacing the men t'lost through the Thirty Years War and also through sickness The protocol reads:
 s"Inasmuch as the unavoidable needs of the holy Roman Empire re- quire the replacing of the men totally lost through this bloody Thirty Years War, and those incapicitated by sword. sickness and hunger, and, that it shall in the future be equal to meeting all it's enemies, and particu- Iarly the hereditary enemy of the Christian name, the Turk, and that all means, ways and methods shall be considered.
 ''Therefore, upon ripe deliberation and consideration, the following g three ways were held on all sides to be the easiest and most fruitful: It shall for the next ten years be for bidden to take into cloisters young men or such men as are under 60; marriage shall be permitted to such priests and pastors as are not mem bers, of orders or in c1oisters or pre- bends; every male person shall be permitted to marry ten women, but all and every male person shall be thereby often reminded, also from the pulpits, that an honorable man who ventures to take ten women, shall not only provide for them all neces- saries, but shall also prevent all dis 60 fl sfa aYonno fhAY1o
