Public sympathy with organized labor is
generally accepted correct commentary
on the justice of the labor cause. Incident
ally, public sympathy with organized labor
is illustrative of the peoples ability to dis
Germ the justice of a cause, even if the
cause frequently is put in positions that
compel its friends to consider it badly led.
Unquestionably, organized labor is handi-
capped by a type of labor leaders whose
fulminations little in accord with the
sentiments of the union rank and file as with
the opinions of those who seek to maintain
a balance in controversies between labor
and its employers. A late offender in this
direction is the Pennsylvania agitator who
declares it necessary that the union men of
the Keystone state equip themselves with
rifles and qualify sharp-shooters for pro-
lection against the officers of the law Of
course, comparatively few Pennsylvania la
boring men will accept the declaration, al
though similar declarations probably have
led the ignorant to b1OodShed Intelligent
union men know it was intended only to
advertise the man making it as willing
to go to any length in the of labor.
They probably less stirred by such
declaration than those of us whose tenn
pers are ruff1ed by individual failure to dis
tinguish between liberty and license. They
know that the accomplishments of organ
lied labor have not been the products of
bloodshed and incendiarism, and organ
lied labor treats radicals of the type of this

A DVOCATES of change in American
~ military policies may shortly address
themselves to a more sympathetic
public. Not that Americans are growing
warlike, but quite the reverse. American
traditions and ideals are mistaken. There
is desire to assume a heavy military
burden, with its attendant evils and dangers.
The European struggle has horrihed the
world, and jingoism was never SO much at
a discount in United States American
sentiment is in full accord with a patient
and peaceful governmental policy, so long
as there is no sacrifice of national dignity.
However, recent events have awakened us
to possibility that the course of other ma
tions may necessitate forcible defense of
American rights Do not these events in
themselves suggest the wisdom, not of
maintaining a great standing army, but of
developing a system through which may
more speedily arm and equip a volunteer
army with proper complement of trained
officers? United States gets less in
the way of real efficiency out of each dollar
it spends its military establishment
than any other nation. Those best in
formed, from military standpoint, believe
that our military efficiency can be tremend-
ously increased without proportionate in
crease in military expenditures, and with
out adopting the policies of the war lords of
Europe. They believe, too, that such an in
crease in military efficiency will pro-
tect us from foreign encroachments that
may provoke war. 1t does not follow either
that they are in accord with the injunction
that we speak softly but carry big stick
They propose rather that make it plain
to the worlds bullies that we not only have
the timber from which "big sticks may be
cut, but that we also have the tools with
which to cut them quickly

Pennsylvania chap as evils to be endured,
rather than leaders to be followed. This
Pennsylvania and the crop of similar
chaps who, without particular information,
denouncing the Colorado jury that has
convicted a strike leader of murder, just as,
before the Mcnamara confession, they de-
nounced the California courts as .perse-
cutors' of the dynamiters, are therefore, less
important than they deem themselves. A
fairminded public is disgusted at the froth-
are attached to labor's organization for
revenue purposes but the same public year
1y aids organized labor to move toward bet
ter conditions. The cause of labor advances,
not because of the incendiary mouthings of
parasitical leaders, but in spite of them
1t advances because its real leaders seek not
to engage in class contest, but to apply
constructive principle, and because its real
program is evolutionary, and not revolu-
t1onary

However active the "crop-kiler'' may be-
there is fact that cannot be wiped out.
Secretary Mohler estimates that the 1915
wheat yield in Kansas will be 136 million
bushels, after conceding that the crop has been
seriously damaged by insect pests. So the
''crop-killer'' must resign himself to the fact
that the state is producing the second largest
crop of wheat in its history, second only
bushels in 1914. Measured in dollars to the
producers this years crop may indeed be the
largest in the states history, for the reason
that grain marketed in the six weeks succeed
ing harvest will bring around fifty per cent
more money at the primary markets than it
did in 1914, unless prices slump tremendously
So Kansas hasn't much to complain of after
all.
Western Kansas world., 1915-06-12

AS usual at this season, the 'crop-killer''
is abroad in Kansas. Unfortunately, the eff
forts of this perennial pest being
couraged by insect pests that work on the
wheat, rather than the public mind. A recent
report of the State Board of Agriculture
Inmates that the wheat crop, for the state at
large, has been damaged twelve per cent by
Hessian fly and chinch bugs, indicating that
the states 1915 wheat yield has been cut
down something like eighteen million bushels
by insect pests. This is tremendous loss.
Such a loss would make the wheat crop of
most states but Kansas a minus quantity.
But Kansas can stand the loss and still lead
the Union in wheat production. 1t is par
ticularly annoying at this time, though, for
the reason that great percentage of the loss
is due to gross heedessness. 1t could have
been avoided had farmers more generally
acted on suggestions made from the State
Agricultural College last fall. Where these
suggestions followed the damage from
Hessian fly is negligible President Waters
of the Agricultural College announces that
campaign against the Hessian fly will be
made, beginning at once. 1t is to be hoped
that Kansas wheat-growers may profit by the
lesson of this years loss and enlist with the
Agricultural College staff to make the going
hard for the Hessian fly.

counsel. They asked the court to give
them a few hours to look over the
legal field and make their own selec

kimona in her muff, and that befor
