OF
WHEAT DUE
TO START
Cooper Reports Binders Will Begin in
Fields Tomorrow; Busy Placing Hands;
Average Yield is Predicted
by Agent

County Agent Cooper stated this
morning that wheat harvest would be
gin tomorrow, one farmer, whose name
he had forgotten having phoned him
from the Amber neighborhood that he
would start his binders in the morn
ing.
Mr. Cooper said that by the middle
of the coming week wheat cutting
would be in full swing in all parts OF
the county.
Barley cutting and alfalfa cutting Is
calling for lot of farm help. Mr.
Cooper said He also stated that he
was doing his best to supply the far
mers with the harvest help which they
stand in need Of This morning alone,
Mr. Cooper said, he had secured har-
vest jobs for twenty-five men in the
fields of Grady county, while he still
had a few calls for help untitled He
said that in almost every instance
the help furnished was from out OF
town sources, that the laborers sent
out from his office belonged to the
regular wandering harvest hand class
as rule.
Mr. Cooper predicts an average yield
OF wheat and oats. The barley crop,
he says, will possibly be little light,
that crop having been affected by the
recent severe winter.
Yesterday Mr. Cooper accompanied
by Ben Morgan, of the Grady County
Commercial and Farm bureau, drove
out to the farm Of Oscar EARLY, who
has one OF the model farms of the
county, located near Amber.
Mr.. Easly. Mr.. Cooper said, is get
ting ready for the harvesting OF 200
acres of wheat, every acre of which
will turn out top notch yield.
Mr. Early has 24O acres planted to
corn, 100 acres of which is waist high
and in fine condition He has total
of 500 acres in cultivation and has 40
acres in grass He keeps constantly
on hand fine bunch of steers which
he never permits to run below 100 in
number, adding to the herd as fast as
it is depleted by selling off
Mr. Cooper's trip to the EARLY farm
yesterday was made in order that he
might assist him in planning and lay
ing out his crop rotation for the com
ing year.

Chicago, June Frank Hitchcock
didn't bat an eve when he was told
that Justice Hughes stated that he was
not authorized to seek the presiden-

Hitchcock said he had never claim
ed that he was acting with the, consent
of Hughes He declared thai he was
acting on behalf of the public senti-
ment which demands the selection of
Hughes as the standard bearer of the
Republican party
The politicians generally do not ac-
cept the statement Of Hughes as a
definite refusal to enter the race, be-
lieving that he may still be persuaded
to accept the nomination if his chances
appear to be good
The Hughes sentiment is pretty
clearly aligned against Roosevelt to-
day and the Roosevelt boomers feel
that there is no question as to Hughes
being candidate.

What Protection. Means
CFrom tho washington Post)

Shipowners recently have made the
argument that in ordinary times they
will not be able to keep up the pres
eDt pace owing to the lower cbst of
operating European ships. They point
out that as a result OF the higher
American wage scale and the extra
employees who must be engaged the
cost Of operating an American ship
in some instances is 81 200 a month
higher than on a European ship.
No better argument could be made
in favor Of the protective tariff sys-
TEN. The difficulty that shipowners
find in competing with foreign ships
is the same difficulty that American
manufacturers find in competing with
foreign products. 1t has been said
that the cost Of production
and the cost Of labor are
almost synonymous terms in the
United States. Republican platforms
have defined the protective tariff as a
tariff that equals the cost OF pro-
duction at home and abroad. 1t might
almost be described as a tariff that

TO admit frankly and openly that those who use the

Seldom has that willingness, eagerness. to obtain

a poster just issued by those officials. Il is headed:
what Causes Lack OF Confidence in Railroads.? The
body of the poster contains the following
What is your opinion? The management OF this rail

to tell why.
Why docs the Pennsylvania railroad system ask you

and abroad.
There have always been better
wage and living conditions in the
United States than in Europe There
can be no backward step. A way
must be found to preserve the Amen-
can wage scale and American living
conditions on land and on sea.
Congress and the legislatures of
the United States have been enacting
laws that have steadily raised the con-
ditions under which employees work in
the United States. Children are be-
ing excluded from the mills. the hours
of labor are being shortened and the
physical condition OF mills and factor
les are being measurably improved.
The Omitted. Stateg has far outstrip-
ed Europe along humanitarian lines.
Il is because the United States has
worked under a protective tariff from
the very beginning of its existence
with but few lapses. that this pro
gress has been possible. Whatever
laws are to be enacted, whether for
regulation on land or on sea, should
be based upon the principle that
higher standards of living for Ameri
cans must continue.

THAT SING SING FLARE-BACK.

THERE has been bareback in the reform hre that
has been raging for months in and about Sing Sing
prison in New York. The victim is John b. Riley,
State Superintendent Of Prisons. He is the man who
bounded Thomas Mott Osborn millionaire social re-
former of the Office of warden Of that prison Now
in Governor Whitman has demanded the immedi-
ate resignation OF Riley. Those who have followed
the course OF the Sing Sing controversy will applaud
that executive action.
Riley made the mistake OF endeavoring to hamper
the work Of Professor George W. Krchwey, Osborns
successor Without consulting either Professor kirch
wey or the Governor he ordered the transfer from
Sing Sing to Dannemora prison OF several prominent
members OF the Mutual Welfare League, the sef-gov-
ernng body convcts that Osborn had organized IN
Sing Sing. What Riley's object was is not known
specifically Governor Whitman asserts, however, that
the effect Of the transfer IL carried out must be to
break down the administration and render the new
warden's position intolerable.'
The retirement Of Riley and the appointment OF a
good man to succeed him should go far toward ending
the penal trouble in New York State.
