FARMERS MARKET
PROVES FAILURE

From the standpoint for which the
farmers market was intended, it is a
failure in Richmond" said J. l. RAN
dali, head of the agricultural division
of the Industrial survey. THE price of
vegetables and small fruits to the city
family depends largely on the compe-
tition between grocers.."
"The market is a failure in this. =
said the expert. "On the one hand the
city purchasers claim that prices are
no less than at the stores"

Wilson Policies and the Farmer.

One point the democratic spellbinders do not
dwell on when telling what the Wilsonites have
done for the American farmers has to do with
Mexico, Venustiano Carranza, first chief" OF the
faction just now dominant because OF the inter-
mcddng in its behalf by our peaceabe president,
is taking tribute directly from the wheat fields Of
the United States. The sisal trust of Mexico, de-
veloped and ostered under Carranza, and his chief
source Of revenue, will nip the farmers Of the
United States for sum between fifteen and
twenty millions Of dollars during the current year
This has been brought about by the trust through
assistance OF the de facto government, securing
complete control OF the hennequin swamps of
Yucatan, and boosting the prices of raw material
from 5h to I'm cents per pound This increase
is reflected in the selling price of binding Irvine in
the United States Thus does Carranza share in
the general prosperity created by Woodrow Will
son, and thus are the farmers OF Nebraska enabled
to share in purchase OF arms and ammunition for
the Mexican bandits who raid our southern Dor
der. AT no time has democratic leader been
heard to protest against the existence Of the sisal
trust because II operates under the protection OF
a man for whom our universal president processes
the highest regard. The tribute is heavy but Car
rama needs the money, and Mr., Wilson finds him.
self unable to deny his friend anything even the
privilege of soaking the American farmer.

Shadows Of Religion.

Blair, Neb., Nov. Ito the Editor
of The Bee: Brethren, if a man be
oyertaken in fault, We which are
spiritual restore such a one in the
spirit of meekness; bear We one
another's burdens and so fulfill the
law of Christ For if man think
himself to be something when he is
nothing. he deceiveth himself .
The writer does not know whether
the above text was intended for one
to use. who, in a democratic frams Of
mind, is trying to grasp the political
and religious thought of the day under
q republican form of government, but
we can take a shot at 1t anyway. Is
it posslh{e for some of us to under
stand W6Are we are at when the social
and political world is apparently
turned ~topsy turvy" in spirit of war
and do the other fellow first" When
ministers of the long established
churches, who command princely sal
aries, wake up and find they are in
the wrong pew, we are guessing, When
a man gives utterance to words that
indicate he would have been taken
from his pulpit and burned at the
stake for using language indicating
the fact that old-fashioned ereeds and
dogmas were wrong, may we ask If
there is something ''rotten" in Dem
mark? Has the time arrived for the
perishing of crowns and thrones from
the face of the earth, and principles
of Righteousness that have obtained for
about four centuries, are to be over
thrown?
Again we find another minister in
sore distress because he stands on a
platform favorable to the open saloon.
Quotations from Pontius plate and
Jesus Christ are used to establish po-
sition. Perhaps the words of our text
would fit the occasion, but who can
go In spirit of meekness" to err
Ing brethren and tell them where to
head in.
Preaching a sermon from such a
text as "And he closed the book" is
thoughtful and wise. Texts favorable
to the cause of others could be found
reading thus, LET your moderation
be known to all men," Also, Give
strong drink to them that are sad, and
wine to them that are grieved in mind

Hughes Conception Of the Presidency.

Charles Evans Hughes personal message to
his fellow citizens published under the caption,
my Conception Of the Presidency is as re-
freshing in its tone and language as it is rare in
spirit and purpose It is promise that constitu-
tional government will be restored if he is elected,
and that the Office Of president Of the United
States will again become the center of the ma
tons business life, in all that is comprehended
BY that expression in its broadcast application,
and not be merely the gathering point for forces
that control a faction within a political party.
Mr., Hughes looks upon the president as properly
the chief executive Of the affairs Of the people,
and not DICTATOR he thinks Of the president as
the administrator Of public interests not mere
party leader His conception Of the duty Of the
president is clearly outlined, and the pledges he
makes that he will uphold the honor, dignity and
security Of citizenship comes from man whose
public record and personal character are the
best possible guarantees that his promise will be
redeemed in both letter and spirit. 1t is COM
forting to think that SO fine type of true
Amercanism is to be chosen president

Omaha, Nov. Ito the Editor of
The Bee: Let me say this to Senator
Hitchcock-Your repentance is too
long delayed. Your hope to emerge
out of your most determined and vio-
lent opposition to President Wilson's
administration as an American pa
triot, one who rose above party for
country, is futile and vain. You OPP
posed President Wilson in the coun-
ellis of the nation in an hour when the
very republic was quivering in the
balance of most acute world crisis,
while Washington trembled and Ber-
lin rejoiced. But today you are far
beyond those councils. No national or
international policies are before you.
You are returned to your native state
with platitudes and evasions upon
your lips, declaring passionate de-
votion to national democracy and its
presidential candidate, Woodrow Will
son. Your present attempt to set
yourself right will not bring you a
united democracy.
You are inviting and actively ap-
pealing for the support Of the very
elements in most violent opposition to
Woodrow Wilson. You are the leader
of the hyphen in politics and have
played to the passions Of races as
against the integrity Of the ideals and
principles of the republic.
Yes, Hitchcocks repentance comes
too late. He hits the sawdust trail of
democracy in the eleventh hour in
fear and desperation of condemna-
ton. His Is the voice Of political
hypocrisy. .......-..---.
