FREE: PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
PRIATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
oIr government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion Of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over 1,000,-
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately S5Q,000,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that of free port
and none can be more easily and ef-
fectively secured.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $1S0,o00,000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
We ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of cur farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus goods
AMI no more can we develop agricul-
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis,
pates By the neigh OF a horse, the
bark of dog or the bray of donkey,
it would be great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vacations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry un-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the pfow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.

about 1-14,000 inch long by between

WILSON'S RELATION TO BRYAN
An Exposition Of the Responsibility Of Each
for the Other

1t is impossible to withhold from Mr.
Wilson very considerable measure oil
responsibility for his own premier's ruth
less tempting of fate. He appointed Mr.
Bryan Secretary of State with full know.
ledge of his mental incompetency and OF
his moral delinquencies. Excuse for the
selection was found in the Presidents
presumed obligation to the man who
achieved bis nomination at Baltimore,
but none knew better than DIR. Wilson
himself that no such debt existed as a
consequence of any intention on the part
of Mr.. Bryan, none knew better than he
that the very consummation so gratifying
to himself was the result of as base be-
trayal of trust as ever stained the an
nails of American politics, and yet he ac-
corded to him the highest honor within
his gift and has since Landed to the skies
"Mr. Bryans character, his justice, his
sincerity, his transparent integrity, his
Christian principle" and SO on ad nau.
seam.
Let us recall for moment the instance
to which we have referred as the chief
indication of Mr.. Bryan's possession of
these admirable attributes which con-
fronted Mr.. Wilson. U Mr.. Bryan de-
manded and obtained in Nebraska pri-
maries for the election of delegates to
the Baltimore convention who should
laIr n al hao no frf or
from the primaries respecting candidates.
~ AS a candidate for delegate, he prom
ised definitely to support either Clark or
Wilson, but announced that he would not
serve if instructed for Harmon. (3)Clark
carried the primaries and Bryan, as an
instructed delegate, accepted his COM
mission. (4) Bryan deserted Clark as
soon as Clark obtained majority of the
votes in the convention and seemed GER
tain to be nominated, upon the ground
that he must be unworthy because he
had received the vote of New Y erk. ~
Bryan proposed several candidates who
were obviously unavailable, carefully
excluding Mr.. Wilson's name from his
list. 10y Wilson was nominated, not in
consequence of Bryan's support, but in
spite of his subtle efforts to the contrary.
(7) Bryan urged the nomination of Clark
for Vice President-of the self-same
Clark whom he had pronounced unworthy
of the presidency, to which as Vice Pres
ident he might at any moment succebe;
thereby in his fright at possible conse-
quences to himself brazenly belying his
own professions of virtuous opposition
and revealing himself as a self-seeking
marplot, disloyal to friend, a repud-
ator of his own pledges and betrayer of
his own people.
With this record of perfidy before his
eyes President Wilson "took Bryan to
his bosom rather than have him on his |
back" and extolled him to American
youth as the embodiment of character,
justice, sincerity, transparent integrity |
and Christian principle" If now he has |
discovered that the Prophet Isaiah spoke |
truly when he said, THAT which is |
crushed breaketh out into VIPER" and |
ater shall learn with job that "The |
viper's tongue shall slay him." can any
but himself be held to blame?

To illustrate the point-a group of
men exposed to swirl of street dust
composed of finely ground horse ma
nure and other decomposing animal
| and vegetable refuse will develop
''colds," sore threats or pneumonia, de-
| pending on the reaction of the indi.
vidual to the contained bacteria. Every
individual life makes it's own disease.
These tiny plants increase and grow
only under favorable environmental
conditions of moisture, heat and food,
but under such favorable conditions a
single bacterium may easily become
the parent of 100000 within twenty
four hours. Those bacteria that have
| acquired the ability to live within the
body of man have been so modified by
that environment that they have lost
the ability to live independently out
side the human body for any great
length Of time. Like all parasites they
are unable to stand alone and quickly
die If thrown on their own resources.
The conditions favorable to bacterial
life and growth are filth, dampness,
warmth and absence of light. What
we commonly designate as filth is, Of
course, only matter in the wrong place.
The conditions detrimental and fatal
to bacterial life are cleanliness, dry
ness, cold and light
Bacteria are not hereditary but are
contagious, and the existence of these
plants in the human race is continued
from one person to another only be-
cause certain men in whom they have
found lodgment transfer them to
other men or animals receptive at the
time because their bodies have been
modified by environment, their con-
stituent matter is in the wrong place or
combination, and they are technically
unclean, a condition commonly known
as one Of low vitality.
1t is estimated there are now in the
United States approximately $4,000
persons infected with typhoid fever
germs who although in apparent per-
feet physical health are discharging
these bacteria in enormous numbers
every day. The same fact is true of
diphtheria and of other infectious dis
eases, and it is in this way that dis
ease is carried from one person to an
other. Typhoid fever for instance viii

Champagne battlefield inspecting
what were the German positions.
Germanys preparations were marvel
Gus. Trenches cris-crossed the plains
machine-guns were everywhere, steel
turrets with rapid-fire cannon rein
forced already strong positions.
Barbed Wire underbrushed the for
ests, and beyond every hill crest were
entanglements to catch the advanc-
ing French unaware. All sorts of
man-k1lling traps were set, one be-
ing trick trench from first to sec
ond line. Having lured the French
into this the Germans disappear
down an unsuspected offshoot and
a hidden machine gun mows down
the French.
The one antidote for this is a ter
rite cannonade which literally turns
the whole fighting front. for miles
in both directions and miles back of
the first lines. into a sIambles from
which nothing can escape. The guns
must NOW down forests, level
trenches. blow up turrets and smash

rained million shells day into this
area Effective fire of French field
pieces is about four and half miles
and over that much front they made
it SO hot for the Germans that Ger
