RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products OF Piow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
By Peter Radford.


The recent action OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the applica-
ton of the roads TO state and inter-
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances OF PRECEDENT
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers OF this natio- face to face with the
problem Of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy Of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
We will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff.
fectlveiy meet the demands Of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
IS needed to accommodate the move.

ION of our Railroad Commissions an
Increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our

| should be granted, and the farmer is
| willing to share such proportion of
| the increase as justly belongs to him,
but We have some suggestions to make

Rates Follow Lines Of Least Resist.
| ance
| The freight rates of the nation have
| been built up along lines OF least re-
| sistance The merchant, the manu-.
1 facturer, the miner, the miller, the
! lumberman and the cattleman have
| aad their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
| lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out OF the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out OF our transportation system
| and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing ia which their business Is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as result, the products
Of the plow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton. the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate OF
any necessary commodity in com
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as whole is out of pro
portion with that OF the products OF
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule OF rates. but
hope the commission will be able &c
give the railroad such an increase II
rates as is necessary without levyine
a further toll upon the products Of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates al
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

Poetry and Noses.

I have read that no poem was ever
written to a nose. Can you. Offhand,
recall a single rapturous or even admir-
ing description Of one? l search my
memory in vain, but produce instead
one instance that has always interested
me by neglect. You recall that little
poem of Browning's, "A Face the
brief and charming description Of a
girls profile against a background Of
gold. The 'matchless mold OF softly
parted lips, the neck three fingers
might surround" and the fruit shaped
perfect chin" all receive their due Of
praise; the nose, seeming necessity
In any profile, is not even mentioned.
1t may be as well; each reader supplies
in the lovely face the line that suits
him best. The poet may have feared
that by its mere mention he would pro-
duce the effect too often given by the
nose in real life-a heaviness that mars
an otherwise charming face.-Atlantic.

especially since the improvement of the
electric light, scene painting has be-
come very elaborate and very expen-
sive. Instead of being kept In its
proper place as the decoration Of the
drama, as beautiful accessory of the
action. it has often been pushed to the
front. so as TO attract attention to it.

from the play which it was supposed
TO illuminate. Shakespeare has been
smothered in scenery. and the art Of
the actor has been subordinated TO the
art of the scene painter.-Brander Mat

WHO'S GOING TO PAY?

State-Wide Prohibition Will Deprive the State
Of $70O,OOO.0O a Year-Where Will 1t Come
From Political Office Seekers Care Not
For State Debts-They Are After the Jobs

A little more than a year ago the
County Unit Law was enacted, as the
definite policy of both the Democratic
and Republican parties in Kentucky.
Under its provisions 106 counties now
have prohibition as fully as they could
have under Statewide prohibition. As
a political issue the liquor question
was thought to be settled. AS moral
issue 1t was settled in accordance with
the wishes of temperance people all
over the State. Each county can vote
out saloons when the people living in
them want to do so.
Some politicians, desiring an excit-
ing issue to aid them in obtaining con-
troll of the business and political ar
fairs Of the State, resurrected the liq-
uor question, and proclaimed State
wide prohibition the paramount issue.
Indirectly, therefore, the question will
be voted upon at the primary, to be
held August Z, because one of the can
didates for the Democratic nominal
ton for Governor has made that issue
a fundamental part of his political pro
gram.
1t is we'll that the voters know and
consider some of the facts that vitality
affect the welfare of the state, and OF
themselves as citizens and taxpayers
before voting to tear up our economic
system. Many ridiculous and false
statements have been made by politi
cal prohibitionists, calculated and in
tended to deceive the voters. But
here are facts that no truthful mar

RUSSIA FORESAW
WARSAW BATTLE
Last Line Before City a Real
Trench Gibraltar.
WORK REQUIRED MONTHS.

Correspondent Describes Formidable
Defenses He Saw on Battle Front.
Pronounced by Military Experts to
Be the Best In All Europe-Six Rows,
One Behind the Other.
What is probably the most important
battle of the war so far and one mark
ed by horrible slaughter on both sides
occurred on the outskirts of Warsaw.
The Russians, it seems, foresaw this
engagement and had erected the most
complete system of trenches ut this
point A correspondent of the Chicago
News. who spent some time at this
front, describes the Notifications as
follows:
These defenses are called the Bio
ME Grodek line. This is halfway be-
tween Warsaw and the old line of de-
Tense on the Bzura and Rawka rivers,
on which the Russians and Germans
began fighting on Dec. 10.
THE new line at Blonie is about iif-
teen miles from the city. 1t was con-
structed by the Russians during the
winter. 1t was not built by soldiers,
but by Polish laborcrs employed by
the Russians at 10 cents a day. The
line ran from the curve of the Nistula
north of Warsaw at the fortress OF
Novo Georgievsk, south through the
town of Blonie, then south to the town
of Grodek, then southeast to point
of the Vistula river virtually at the
fortress of Ivangorod. 1t was about
fifty miles long.
This line constituted the last de-
fensive position of the Russians west
of the Vistula river. | have been over
parts of the line and In places which
visited it consisted of six distinct lines
of trenches, one behind another, from
200 yards to 1000 yards apart. These
trenches were constructed with the ut
most care and We're pronounced by the
foreign military observers who accom-
panied me the best constructed trench
es they had ever seen. They were far
better than the original defenses of the
Russians on the Vistula and Rawka
rivers.
"The trenches are connected by sunk
en- passageways In different places.
These afford an opportunity for the
troops to retire from trench to trench.
There are elaborate projections or
barbed wire entanglements ON wooden
posts. Some of these entanglements
project high above the surface of the
ground. Others are only two feet high
and are constructed in broad ditch,
which prevents their being seen at a
distance.
Built Up With Sand Bags.
"As TO the trenches themselves, they
are deep enough SO that man may
stand upright in them and still be pro-
tected. They are deliberately built up
with sand bags, and the front part has
been covered with sod. They are so
situated that the field of fire is over
at least 1000 yards Of open fiat plain,
unobstructed by trees or any shelter
for an enemy, so that n charge made
by the attacking troops would have to
be in plain view of every Russian
soldier In the trenches"

While only 100000 Of the nearly
81, 600 900 derived from the liquor bust
ness is paid directly to the State treas
ury, yet the $1,245,OO0 paid to the
cities, towns and counties of the State
are of great financial assistance to
them. and in this way undoubtedly
promotes the prosperity of the State.
To say nothing of the revenues to
cities and counties, if the 100000 paid
by the liquor business direct to the
State treasury be thrown away, as
will be the case IL Statewide prohibi-
ton is adopted. the State deficit, or
debt, must at once be increased by
that amount, making it over $4,000, 900

FALSE STATEMENTS ANSWERED.
1t has been claimed by the political
state-widers that statewide prohibition
will save the people money by reduc-
ing crime, pauperism, and insanity,
thereby reducing the cost Of criminal
prosecutions. Facts and authentic
statistics utterly disprove these state
ments. They point to Kansas as a
shining example of prohibition. The
following facts. taken from govern
ment statistics, prove conclusively
that Kansas is not the statewide para
disc it is claimed to be:

The relative number of savings &C

June 4, 1913, Kansas had 1,14s savings
repositories for each 100000 popula-
ton. Twenty-seven license states had
an average Of $3.50 savings depositors
per 100000 population. These twenty,
seven states are agricultural states
similar to Kansas. So Kansas shows
no better than other states In that re-
