BEAN CASE MEANS
MUCH TO LABORERS

GRAND RAPIDS. Aug Is
Michigan beans feed three fourths Of
the nation.
In a normal year the crop in this
state has a money value OF $4,000
900 to $4,000, 900.
The acreage this year is the great
est in the history Of the industry.
During a part Of 1915 a bushel Of
beans has cost the consumer as
much as a barrel of -four But de-
spite the phenomenal price 20 which
this staple has risen, beans still hold
and probably always william un-
rivaled place as the foundation dish
Of the great American working class
table.
These are some Of the reasons why
Michigan-and,i in fact, all the United
States-is vitality interested in a suit
now before the United States district
court for western Michigan.
The case has to do with Uncle
Sans pure food laws, "a disease Of
the bean plant known as anthrac-
nose and the effect OF the malady on
the bean proper as II comes 10 the
consumer as a food product
Pitted against the government in
the litigation is the Oceana Canning
Co. Of Shelby, backed with the moral
support at least of the rank and file
OF the bean growers Of Michigan.
The canning company is seeking a
clean bill Of health for the anthrac-
nose bean, which the pure food vigil
lantes Of Washington are now with
holding. It's a fight 10 a finish, with
the final verdict, which will prob
ably be enunciated by the United
States. fraught with far-reaching
consequences for the bean men of
Michigan and the head of the aver
age family. who is fighting valiantly.
but without much progress, against
the forces of General High Cost of
Living.
Disease Not New.
The bean. akin to all forms OF
vegetable life, is heir to ills. An
thracnose is one Of them. AS near
as the wise men of science can learn
1t is a fungus germ disease which
usually attacks the pod, and if Sc
we're, eats its way through and leaves
its mark on the enamel of the ma
tured bean. II has probably existed
as long as the bean has under the
cultivating influence of man-there
is record in science Of its existence
in Germany over a century ago, and
agricultural chronicles tell of the
presence of the disease in this coun-
~ before the Civil war.
The point is that anthracnose is
nothing new TO the bean. The Gull
tured beam eating aristocrats of BOs-
ton have been consuming anthrac-
nose beans with relish for many dec
AIDES and still their culture grows
and still they lay claim to a corner

nose bean led a serene and undis-
turbed existence, never questioned,
never under a cloud of suspicion.

Right now that's the fix the an

Silas, also, was most sincere man, but he
had wooden leg; and therefore his sincerity
could not have been so complete rs that of
our Senator whose legs 60 all the way down,
SO far as we know.
OF course I knew, as you do, that the Euro
pean war was working havoc III many djrec-
tions, but I had no idea that it was putting
U. S. Senators on the ''hard rum to pay their
taxes, their interest, their insurance, and their

Little did [ think that the war would
financially floor the landlord of the Piedmont
Hotel the part-owner of the Fulton County
National Bank, and of that farm in DeKalb
where so many political potatoes and such
have been raised.
Nor did it occur to me that the churches in
Georgia were going to lose such sincerely
willing contributor, by lowering his rents and
compelling him to go out and borrow bucks
to pay his taxes.
That's one of the worst features of these
wars between the Rooshians and the Proosh-
ians: you never can tell who'll get hurt.
Those wars and even the rumors thereof,

market ever since | was boy: and / used to
hear the old men say it had always been that

But its a horse of another color, if these

going to wipe out the rents of our finest
hotels our most favored national banks, and
our most productive political farms-espe-
cially as farms of that sort are always oper-
ated on the 'diversfed" system.
If my memory serves me right, this sin
cerest of Senator'S is the same that wrote
letters, before the elections in 1914, telling the
dear farmers how many bales of cotton he
had bought at 10 cents, in order to bulwark
the market.

THE JEFFERSONIAN

~ Mr.. Walsh states that there are Prot
estant schools receiving State money.
If he means to say that any Protestant
school, IN eohdch religion as tGe4ght, is re-
ceiying the States money, he's an unsc2wpes-
zous lar!
Every child in most of our public schools
IS Protestant, but that fact does not make
the school sectarian school, unless religious
teaching as pr0ctised.
(8) Mr.. Walsh jauntily adds 81 take it
that our institutions are not threatened by
this use of public money!
Whom do you mean by "0ur?" The p0pe's
institutions are not threatened by contin-
uous and pernicious disregard of the great
American principle involved. but our Amer
lean institutions are.
Separation of Church and State is the
great, fundamental American principle to
which [ allude and that is the principle
which the Chatham and Richmond County
Boards of Education have abolished at the
dictation of local Roman priests.
Il take it" that one great foundation stone
cannot be stealthily removed from it's place,
without endangering the whole superstruc-
ture.
II take it," that if the money of the Cath
Ollie King of Spain, or Of the Catholic King
of Bavaria, or Of the Catholic Emperor Of
Austria, were taken at the dictaton of Prot
estant prelates, and used to maintain schools
In which the Protestant religion was taught,
there would be an awful uproar in the Vati-
can, and the Italian pope would thunder as
loudly, as he recently did when savagely
cursing the senular schools, maintained in
Rome by Protestant money.
II take it," that Walsh himself would be
dspleased, and would consider that sour in
stitutions' were threatened.
II take it, that the next time Thomas
Walsh plunges into print he will tell us what
kin he is to Jerry, who beat the virgin priest
In the virgin bishops house, and that will
likewise explain to us the circumstances which
led up to the circus.

Yes, Indeed s'Sad for the
Socialists

| n Texas, Romanist bigot publishes shin
plaster paper which he calls The Anti
dOtc.
On the editorial page of recent issue,
Antidote says:
J. o. Wellday, editor of Appeal to Reason has
suicided in Oklahoma City. j. A Wayland the
former editor of this same paper went out of the
world the same way, leaving behind some $780,
100000 Of property Sad for Socialists, is it not!
Alas and alack It is sad for the Socialists.
AS Romanlsm teaches that suicides go to hell,
[ would think the two above mentioned are
sad for the Romanists, also.
So, Wayland amassed $4,000 did he? Well,
he had worked hard throughout a long life,
and he had genius for the aUeekIV paper
equal to that of Joseph Pulitzer for the daily
paper
Pulitzer left millions; while Wayand left
thousands; but neither Of them could lay up
treasures faster than Romanist diocese, for
Bishop Munderlein holds $5O,O00,O00 in Chi
cago and Cardinal Jack Farley owns twice
that much in New York.
When the Roman church charges $4,000
for chanting and toting candles, etc, as they
did at the funeral of Campbell of st. Louis,
last year, it necessarily piles up ducats mighty
fast
If any church brought in a bill of $4,000,
for funeral services, candle lights, incense
and holy water-and compelled the executors
to pay it, there would be a scandal

bale, which the Administration had forced the
farmers to sell at $50, ungratefully stood
aloof and allowed this sincere Senator to
endure loss in his rents
Is it possible that the sincere Senator's
share of the yearly rents of the Piedmont
Hotel and Soft drink Room, is less than the
SIT 900 that it was in 1906?
That's what he boastfully told me it was,
then, although / had not asked about his
riches nor the size of his income.
With the sincere vanity of parvenue, he
has always been sincerely fond of telling peo-
pie the size of his pile and the amount of his
revenues.
II have been hard pushed for money"
How embarrassing! Is it possible that his
Atlanta bank wouldn't lend him any?
His Fulton County National Bank got the
lions share of Government money, In the Fall
of 1914, and got it at per cent, when the
farmers and small-town merchants couldn't
get any at all.
Can it be that the sincere Senator derives
no income from his national bank, and has
no credit there?
'Just a short time ago, | was compelled to
go out and borrow money with which to pay
my taxes"
Now, that's what you may rightly call a
case OF sincere distress.

Interest, on qchat? Is it possible that the
Senator is sincerely in the clutches of remorse-
less money-sharks; and that he is the victim
of the 100 per cent. lenders who were exposed
by the Comptroller of the u. S. Treasury?
"Io pay my taxes, insurance. interest, &C."

from Reserve to Mellen next year.
This is an assured fact. The right
OF way has been purchased and the
surveying done. The blue prints Of
the proposed route are complete.
Work on construction will begin ear
ly in the spring. This will give the

to the Twin Cities and will mean
that better class of trains will run
thru this city. We are informed
from unofficial sources that a fine
new depot will be built in this city in
the third ward, thereby obviating the
trains backing in When the line is
completed and the new schedule in
operation Rice Lake may become a
division point.
At any rate the territory between
Reserve and Mellen will receive an

produce a wonderful activity is to
get these railroad facilities.
