No man is better qualified to speak authori-
tativey of the problems of the farmer of the
United States than Henry c. Wallace of Des
Moines His life has been devoted to considera-
tion OF the economic and social aspects OF the
agricultural industry, both through practice and
in theory, and he knows whereof he talks or
writes. His criticism of the farm loan law, just
passed by the democratic congress and now
sought to be put into operation, is that of one
who understands what is required and who knows
how far the present measure falls short of reach
ing the farmers who really need help.
The law does not reach the spot" says Mr..
Wallace, who points out that as il is now framed
It wilfhep only those who really do not need
help, and for whom the borrowing OF money is
already simple matter. This is exactly the posi-
tisn The Bee has taken from the first In all the
consideration of this measure, the needs of the
small farmer, the tenant, and the young man
struggling to become an owner, have been
ignored, and only the interests of the established
land owner have been looked after While the
democrats have made great pretense of taking
care OF the farmer, and boast they have placed
him on level with the merchant and manu.
tacturer, they have done nothing of the sort. The
merchant or manufacturer can borrow on their
credit, while the farmer can only borrow on I'M
incumbered land, which must be appraised, and
then only to so per cent Of its value The mer-
chant or manufacturer can borrow on short time
notes, but the farmer can not borrow for shorter
period than five years.
The law as it stands will not help move crops,
will not help out through the planting and grow
ing seasons. and will not give any help to- the
tenant farmer who is striving to become land
owner In plain words, it is mockery.

Shutting Out Little Grain Gamblers.

A rule just adopted by the Omaha Grain ex-
change will go far to eliminate the evil Of gam
bling in food supplies. The controlling board has
issued an order putting the margin on wheat deals
at such figure that the small bettors are COM
pletely eliminated. While this step seems dis
crimnatory, it is in the right direction. The
board should follow it up with another rule that
will do away with gambling entirely, and put the
market on legitimate business basis. Purchase
OF wheat or any other commodity for future de-
livery, at price that may have some relation to
conditions existing at the time of delivery neces-
sarily partakes of the nature of speculation So
long as this is permitted, the element of chance
can not be entirely eliminated. This form of
dealing is quite legitimate, but the abuse to which
it is subject quickly brings it into the worst form
OF gambling, that Of betting if the price goes up
or down. with the fictitious sale of billions OF
bushels Of grain that does not exist, and deals
being closed without regard to delivery of kerr
mel Of corn or grain Of wheat The new rule
will do away with the participation of the small
fry in this branch of the market, and is of service
to that extent

New State House Is Needed,

With the old state house tumbling about his
ears Governor Morehead still hesitates to take
the responsibility OF recommending that a build
ing suitable for housing Ncbraska's state govern
ment be erected. He will refer to the next leeis.
lature proposal that the dilapidated and danger
Gus east wing be torn down. and that mere sub
stantal structure be erected, to become in future
time, part OF real state house Why doesn't
the governor come out frankly and tell his people
what he well knows that the old capitol building
is not only antiquated but is actually dangerous:
that 1t is expensive to maintain, because of its
lack OF appointments and that it is entirely too
small to properly house the different DEPARTMENTS
OF the government The next legislature will
have to give careful consideration to the problem
and the governor should see that il Is furnished
with all available data, based on careful inquiry
by qualified experts to the end that It's work
viii be facilitated by having facts to start on
The Bee agrees with Governor Morehead that he
has more comfortable office in the state house
than he does in Falls City; not governor Of
Nebraska has ever occupied private quarters as
spacious and as well appointed as those furnished
Tor HIM by the state. But this is no reason wbv
other departments Of the government should NOT
be well provided for, and given safe, comfortable
Offices in building that is designed for lis mr..
pose.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 26.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: Like many new
corners who are not interested in To-
cal news, as they are not familiar
with the various people mentioned,
my reading Of The Bee is largely the
editorial and the public letter box col
umns, SO the personality Uf some of
the writer's naturally is of interest.
One somehow feels when one reads
the public letters that one is reading
uncensored news. l would like,
therefore. to have you say in this
column IL this Charles Wooster is a
pen name. ! have seen several let
tiers from him since | commenced
three years ago to take The Bee. l
would also like to know why a Sc
ries Of letters by someone called the
''Heide" has been discontinued. He
also was a personality that was most
interesting.
This letter is of no public interest
and is suggested in spirit of curl
osity, so you need not publish 1t. l
will say that both the editorials and
many OF these letters display both
a literary style and an originality
equal to large Pennsylvania paper
which reaches me daily.

This and That.

Ills anu llldt.
Avoca, Ia, Aug. 27.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Momentous questions Of
paramount issue are before this ma
ton today as, never before in the his
tory Of this republic.
1t was but recently when a war
started in foreign countries where ma
tons invoked divine aid to win their
point They were So earnest in their
belief that they were right that glis-
tening steel and rusty shotguns were
brought forth in evidence and mil
lions of unnumbered dead lie in I'M
marked graves as peace "menlen-
toes"
But this is across the ocean. Let's
forget 1t. In the home land there are
religious bodies who claim to be fight
ing satan's forces. They are going to
organize that they may get proper
recognition, and that, too, under a
flag that we all love and once had a
meaning peculiar to this nation. To
the minds Of many of us 1t was as the
rainbow after the gentle and refresh
ing shower of springtime whose Gre
ator designed that never again should
destructive flood encircle the earth.
Sacred history tells us that a bra
zen serpent was lifted up for be-
knighted people in wilderness. We
can now draw on imagination and
see that in the beauty of holiness, but
we of today are stemming the stem"
Of stern realities and must arise to
conditions demanded by the age we
live in. Instead of sneering at things
Of vital Importance let us peer into
them, hopeful of being helpful to
those about us. We have a railroad
strike confronting us that threatens
disaster of serious nature If carried
into effect and what Is the reason?
The operative force says wages are
inadequate to meet the present high
cost of living, with working hours
bordering on slavery. The giant cor
porations appear obstinate to yield
to demands and the president of the
great United States is being invoked
to aid in amicable settlement with
due consideration for all concerned.
Over in Nebraska the liquor ques-
ton has some of the democratic
forces and others guessing. The saloon
keepers and breweries are fearful lest
the vote will knock the financial props
from under them and the gulf OF de-
spondency appears to be getting their
goat. The dynamic forces of a great
statesman and the "Dahlmanic" forces
