ROOSEVELT AND CUMMINS.

In commenting op the presidential
situation in 1916, well known politi.
cal writer of Washington recently
made the statement that Col. Roose-
welt is willing to support either SEN
ator Cummins or Senator Borah as
the Republican candidate. The ar
ticle treats of the possibility that
Roosevelt himself will be entered in
the race against President Wilson for
the chief office of the land.
1t is generally admitted that the is
sues in the next national campaign
will be centered about the war in
some phase or other. Senator Cum
minis has not been backward about
expressing his opinions on this sub
ject. In his speech before the Des
Moines Press club the senator declar.
ed in favor of complete revision of
the international laws, limit to the
extent that nations may arm them
selves for war and arbitration of in
ternational disputes backed by a po-
lice patrol of the high seas. He de-
clared emphatically against any inter-
ference on the part of this nation un-
til the war is over, but said that the
United States should then take the
lead in bringing about the new era.
Whether this preliminary platform
is aggressive enough to suit the hero
of San Juan hill is question. Roose-
welt, it is believed, does not take the
possibility Of his being the Republi-
can candidate very seriously, but he
would like to have something to say
Semi-weekly herald., 1915-05-10

as to the candidates selected and the
party platform should he decide to
come back into the fold.
II is significant that Senator Cum
minis is mentioned in practically every
article dealing with the political sit
uation in 1916. Roosevelt is destined
to be factor if not principal. The
writer mentioned above made the
statement that the election of a pres
ident of the United States next year
will be the most momentous political
event in the history of the nation
since Lincoln was elected Even the
war cannot detract from the interest
in a presidential campaign.-Des
Moines Capital.

SOW EARLY MATURING
VARIETIES OF GRAIN

The continuous rains of the past
month, and the low temperatures that
have prevailed as the result of this
excessive moisture has lessened the
time usually allotted to the farmer
for the preparation of the fields and
the planting of the spring grains, thus
shortening the crop growing season
very materially.
The thoughtful farmer will, as far
as practicable, meet this embarrass-
ing situation by planting sucn varietal
types of grain known to be of the
earliest maturing habits.
Many farmers will plant the Mar
quis spring wheat because it riDens
from ten days to two weeks earlier,
does not develop such rank growth
OF straw, therefore does not go down
or swamp" so readily, and has prov
en- to be more rust resistant than 9TH
er varieties of spring wheat grown
in Colorado.
One farmer in this section planted
one hundred pounds last season and
threshed sixty-seven bushels. Anoth-
er planted the same quantity and har-
vested seventy bushels, thus estab-
lishing its ability to produce as abund-
antly as other varieties in this alti-
tude.
Its high per cent OF gluten content
places it among the first of hard
wheats for milling purposes and in
sures to the farmer ready market
at the highest prices for his product
The Kansas farmer is now supply
ing us with his hard wheat flour from
fields that produce but fifteen bush
els per acre, when we can produce
Just as good a milling wheat upon soil
yielding more than double the number
Of bushels per acre. Shall we allow
this embarrassing condition to con-
.tinue?
Do not allow the higher cost of
Marquis seed to deter you from plant
ing at least few acres. An increas-
ed yield of but two bushels per acre
will repay you for the additional cost
of seed.
Ask your miller or dealer for some
of this new wheat.

LAFE YOUNG VISITS
TOWN WHERE GERMANS
TURNED FROM PARIS
(By Lafayette Young.l

PARIS, April 11.-(By Mail. y
Yesterday my friend Mr.. G. A. Trube,
who represents the Westinghouse in
terests in France and has charge of a
number of factories-one being in
Paris and one being at Havre-had
the good thought to propose to take
me north from Paris to that point
where Won Kluck's army deflected
from Paris and passed toward the
eastward.
The particular town is Senlis. 1t
is not large city. The buildings
arc old in appearance. The streets
are narrow The outsides of the
buildings indicate decay, but the
wagon road is good. 1t took Mr..
Trube and myself week to secure
the necessary passes for this little
journey, Mr. Trube was accompanied
by his wife and daughter, and they
kindly invited Mrs. Harry Beach
Ncedham, wife Of the well known cor
respondent, to accompany us. Mr.
.'rube is the happy possessor of as
fine a limousine car as there is in
Paris. He also has good Belgian
driver.

ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING
ABROAD.

An editorial in the Chicago Trib-
unc last Sunday contains some things
Which deserve the thoughtful consid-
erst,on of every American citizen.
The Tribune points out that while we,
with our characteristically American
capacity for creating fools para
disc. are talking peace and disarma-
ment, assuming an imaginary world
leadership and priding ourselves upon
our national security, the truth is that
abroad the United States "is the OBJ
Ject of an almost universal dislike
ranging from hatred to contempt"
1t is pointed out that not only has
our policy of neutrality brought upon
us bitter anti-American sentiment
in certain circles of Germany, but
ev'tence is brought forth on the au-
thority of prominent Belgian to
Snow that we have sacrificed the
friendship Of Germany without gain
ing the respect of the allies" Atten-
tion is also called to the fact that
in South and Central America the
United States is regarded with intense
suspicion, and that Japan also looks
uron us with a certain polite disfa-
v0r
Is this true? We can hardly be-
l'eve it, comments the Des Moines
Capital We wonder why anyone
could dislike us. We certainly have
no sinister motives or sordid national
ambitions. On the whole we are a
straightforward, simple-hearted peo-
Tie end we cannot imagine why we
arc rot taken abroad at our own rat
inc of ourselves.
A certain amount of this i'll feel
inv we must naturally expect from
nations ut war, each of whom has the
feeling that it is fighting for the de-
fense of civilization, and "they who
are not for us are against u.s. There
is also a certain natural resentment
against the rapid industrial progress
of this country, and an idea that we
have achieved it through competi.
ton ir which we have been willing
TO sacrifice certain other values of
life We can also understand how
South America has misunderstood the
olicies growing out of our Monroe
occ .r're, so that what was original
Is intended as an act of friendship
has come to be suspected as desire
to establish protectorate.
But why have we permitted our
selves thus TO be misunderstood? Has
not the amateurishness of our states
nanship had something to do with it?
The partisan character of our politi-
ca; life, certain note of provincial
ism which has frequently found ex-
preston in our national legislation
and diplomacy, and the essentially
c, mnercial character of American
government since the civil war, have
al doubtless contributed to this eff
feet
Ore thing is sure; we shall have to
hnd the cause of this prejudice, and
remove it before teh rest of the world
will be willing to take our peace ad-
Noeaty very seriously. And whatever
the cause Of this anti-American senti-
mont may be; it is out of just such
Misunderstanding that wars arise.
This ma tion is by no means so secure
from invasion as we imagine our
selves while such feeling exists to-
'vGrd us. In the light of such dis
like, the most innocent action of this
nat;or may at any time be misjudged
The Tribune, which can hardly be ac-
cnscd of jingoism, points out these
unr'easant facts as reason for
more adequate preparation for nation
4; oefcBse.

The calling of another strike be-
cause twelve men decided a member
of their order guilty of murder will
be the most senseless proposition ever
advanced by the United Mine Work
ers. 1t is direct threat to the courts
and the governor of the state that un-
less Lawson is turned loose the Off
cials are willing to attempt another
season of strife and turmoil in Colo
rado. But we are of the opinion that
strike order in this state would re-
ceive so little recognition that it
could not be called strike. The
Rockefeller foundation and the peo-
pie of Colorado are aiding in keep
ing a large number of men engaged
in the former strike from starving
along with their wives and children,
and we do not believe the men with
steady jobs are going TO jump into the
fire again without cause. In this con-
nection The Herald is sorry that Law
son will have to suffer for the acts
of others, but his suffering will be
small compared to the suffering caus-
ed hundreds the past two years, and
all through lawlessness.
