THE GREATEST FARM
ZONE

The always enterpri5ing editor
and publisher of the Northwest
ern Agriculturalist, P. V. Collins
sets a pace which his competitors
will find it hard to keep up with
in the issue of a brochure en-
titled, 1.-The Greatest Farm Zone,
which he clearly makes out to be
Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota Montana and Western
Wisconsin. All of these are tribu-
tary to Minneapolis, and espec-
iallv so to the Northwestern
Agriculturalist. The appeal OF
"The Greatest Farm Zone" ex-
ploitation is, of course, to adver-
tisers, and certainly Mr.. Collins
makes good in this showing OF
the value of his paper as a me-
dunn. OF marked significance is
his reference to the accusation
that the Northwestern Agricul-
turalist is political paper:
Through gross and persistent mis-
understanding of its editorial policies
the Northwestern Agriculturist has
been accused of being political paper
because it actively fought so-called
Canadian reciprocity and also because
it believes in a form of tariff that pro
tects agricultural wealth-the back
bone of our national wealth.
We challenge anyone to show any
political editorial of the N. w. A.
which did not have for its motive, the
conservation of agricultural wealth.
In conserving the prosperity OF the
farmer we are directly increasing his
purchasing power. This is to the in
terest of the manufacturer, the job
Der, the retailer and the banker In
standing for justice for the farmer,
the n. w. A. is conserving purchas-
ing power in the interest of the nation.
The Northwestern Agriculturist in
1911 led the farmers fight against so
called Canadian reciprocity, because
the pact meant direct loss of S75,-
100000 a year to the farmers OF its
circulation field 1t was not square
DEAF to farmers, to put everything
they produced in free trade competi-
ton with their most formidable trade
rival. while nearly all that farmers had
to buy was protected from foreign
price-cutting.
Besides, most manufacturers were
misled by mistaken impression that
Canadian reciprocity would give
American manufacturers free access
into Canada, or at least would materi-
ally reduce Canadian tariffs-which an
examination of the schedules showed
was not at all true. The Northwest
ern Agriculturist gained nation promi
hence by the vigor of its leadership
against that proposition and great
popularity amongst Northwestern
farmers, thereby Because of the lat
ter, the circulation, 10000 at the be
ginning of 1911, grew to $4,000 or
over by the end of l9l3-an unpre-
cedented growth for an old estab-
lished paper, due exclusively to the
farmers approval of its editorial
course"
To stand for justice to the farm
err and for the conservation of a
purchasing power in the interest
of the nation as whole is rec
ord which does credit to any
newspaper, daily or weekly, ag-
ricultural or otherwise. AS mat
ter of fact, the newspapers which
stand for this deserve the high
est esteem and the best patron
age.

SUBMARINE H-3.
 UNHURT, FLOATS
 OFF COAST REEF

San Francisco, July "Details re- ceived here to-day of the grounding of the United States submarine H-S, Tuesday night near Point Sur light : house just south of Monterey Bay, and the release of the little vessel late yes terday reveal curious anomalogy. A quiet sea was the cause of the subma- rine's nnishap; a slightly rough sea gave it freedom
 Tuesday night. Point Sur was en- veIoped in a dense fog. Ordinarily this would not have disturbed mar iners, inasmuch as the breakers that almost constantly assault the high promontory give out ample warning But the sea that evening was so still there was not wave to, sound the peril of the rocks and the H-3 ran snug1y between two huge bou1ders.
 All day yesterday the submarine clung fast to it's berth, despite the efforts of the tender Cheyenne to pull it out. Late in the afternoon, how ever, the sea began to rise. sud- den swell lifted the vessel and at the same instant the Cheyenne's line tau tened. The sudden jerk pulled the H-3 clear and threw it against anoth- CT rock, turning it on it's side.
 From the almost perpendicular decks, five of the crew slid into the water. Two could not swim but ropes were tossed to them and in few minutes all were back on board. Tine H-3 was quickly pulled into open wa ter with injuries, if any, of minor character. When the Cheyenne with the HI and the H-2 resumed the trip to San Francisco, it was not the H-3 that the tender took in tow but the HI which had developed a broken gearing.

United States is practically the only country buying diamonds now, and the American appetite for them is de- scrfbed as amazing.
 On the declaration of war the syn dicate which takes over the De Beers and Jagersfontein products had a stock of diamonds worth $4,0OO, 900. It already has disposed of half of this stock The Premier Mine, which mar lcets it's own diamonds, has got rid of a third of its surplus Almost all of these stones have gone to the United States.

GROWING old by peqrees.

Growing old has many stages. You
can remember the time when. in read
ing your favorite author, you were dis
gusted to find that he had made his
hero forty years old, and you won
dered how he could be guilty of i'm
putting romance to such an unconscion-
able age. By and by, even though you
found fcrty years to be the old age
of youth, you were solaced by the
thought that it was the youth of old
age. and still later you will wonder
where youth ends and old age begins.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
AFRAID WHITES WILL
BE DRIVEN IN DEMO-
CATIC RANKS

Washington, d. c.. June 90
1t has dawned upon Republican
leaders at the national capital that
the decision of the United States
supreme court declaring the grand
father clause" legislation to be
void as in contravention of the fif-
teenth amendment may cause a
big Republican slump in all of the
Southern states.
The first blush impression of the
effect of the decision was that it
would benefit the Republicans by
releasing large Republican Ne
gro vote heretofore held down.
But Republican leaders who have
talked over the probable results of
the decision refused to count the
chickEes before they were hatched.
Their sober second thought was
that there probably would be no
chickens, if by chickens is meant
additional Republican membees of
congress and a chance for addition
al Republican electoral votes.
The practical men among the
Republican leaders fear the decis-
ion will wipe out tie last vestige
of white Republican party in the
South by driving the white Re-
publicans by droves into the DEM
ocratic party, 10 carry high the
banner of white supremacy" and
subordinant all other issues upon
which political parties ordinarily
divide.
Nor is it expected that there will
be any appreciable increase of the
Negro Republican vote to offset
this possible detection, for while
Negroes, under the supreme courts
decree, are guaranteed the right to
vote, it is expected that various
ways will be found to give them
the hint that they are not wanted
at the polls and that they will not
be slow to take the hint.

job which they had from 10 to 40
years 1t is the same old story of
the Office boy becoming the boss
and the old colored man who by
reason of his complexion has not
been advanced. He is too old and
worn out in service and is replaced
by more vigorous young colored
man, who in turn is to be worn Cut
as fixture in a business which is
taking in poor white boys and
turning out wealthy white men by
the scores.
Another appalling situation
whicn confronts MS, is the man and
woman who are toiling all the day s
of their youth for a maintenance.
Their scanty salaries will not en-
able them to lay aside for their old
age. In the evening of their lives,
they become charges upon us and
upon the public.
1t is the object of the syndicate
to contribute as much as possible
to the relief of these conditions
We have enlisted in the work men
and women representing every
branch of the worlds business
They are capable, honest and un-
selfish in their dealings. 1t is a
worthy cause and every man and

advance will in time join in the
good work of making our people
independent of drudgery.

SUPREME COURT HELPS
MARYLAND NEGROES

Baltimore, Md, June 23.-The
decision of the United States Su.
preme Court knocking out the
"grandfather" clause in the Anna
polls election law and IN the Okla
homa constitution is especially
gratifying TO the colored citizens
of Maryland 1t was here that a
United States District Court first
declared the grandfather" clause
invalid, and the Frederick County
Court also declared that way in
May. 1913.
The decision will estop Demo.
Gratis from again attempting to
disfrancbise the Negro. AT this
moment two factions in the Dem
ocratic party in Maryland are in a
titanic struggle for control of the
organization. On one side United
States Senator Blair Lee is fight
ing for the Democratic nomination
for Governor, and on the other side
United States Senator John Wal
ter Smith is backing Comptroller
Emerson @. Harrington for the
nomination. Both of these men
are avowed enemies of Negro suf-
frage and civil rights, but they
cannot promise disfranchisement
now.
Maryland has already defeated
three suffrage amendments passed
by the Legislature, and it is, as said
before, the first State where dis
franchisement has been success
fully combatted, thereby paving
the way for the disfranchised
thousands of the South to regain
their suffrage rights.
