JABBING THE FARMER.

AS if It is not enought for the Standard Oil Trust to charge
the consumer 40 cents for gas because the same is possible,
the Harvester Trust corners sisal, raw Irvine material, and pro-
ceeds to boost the price of this necessity.
Although the harvester trust alleges that it has no connec-
ton with the monopolistic control of sisal, placing the blame
on a combination of Mexican ssal planters to exact a great
price, and although this good trust, not long since exonerat-
ed in the courts argues that there is a shortage of Irvine in the
United States, figures were introduced before the Senate in
vestigating committee last week showing that there can be no
shortage of Irvine in the United States unless great quantities
have been exported. This is hardly possible for the exports
have been largely diminished of Irvine and agricultural machin-
cry since the commencement of the war.
The figures show that in the eight and a half months of the
sisal season from August !, 1915, to the present date, sisal i'm
portations were 347, 1852, 1893 pounds, an increase of 20,2 46, 1913
pounds over the imports of the whole season of 1914-15. In
addition it was stated that there are 3,12S,O0O pounds in New
Orleans warehouses and the committee has commitments for
April, May and June deliveries for SO, 602, 822 pounds, a total of
17,669,264 pounds over the imports Of the entire previous year.
This with the $4,000 bales available in Yucatan were said
to be sufficient to guarantee against any shortage.
The Harvester Company alleges that the representatives of
the Comision Reguladore, an organization of Mexican ssal
planters financed by American capital controls the Yucantan
slsal crop. American capital also controls the American Har-
vester Trust. 1t is the same old story of protected, predatory
monopoly. Capital controls every monopoly, directly or in
directly, and demands protection by a tariff or other special
privilege. But the consumer, what of him?

water power project has been developed, is in the course OF
development, or held for future exploitation and speculation
by capitalists. A great power trust controls, and this same
trust is looking toward every corner of the United States fol
holdings in the way of power sites.
In the east there is use for every available bit OF power de
veloped, being the center of commercial and manufacturing
activity. In the west, one of it's greatest resources water

Eventually this resource will be developed and every available
power site will be utilized. This will be delayed, if promoted
by capital, until such time as failing coal and oil supplies
diminish to such an extent demanding substitution of electri-
city for heat and power.
Now this immense water power resources are going to waste
There is no reason that the same cannot be developed and be-

of the realization of the plans proposed in Congress are quickly
perceived by the westerner. Every westerner should back up
and urge his representative in Congress to work for this bill.

WATTERsoN ON ROOSEVELT.

Under the caption ''The Money Devil Plans Treason
Colonel Henry Watterson in his Louisville Courier Journal,
concerning the impending candidacy of King Theodore Roose-
welt l, says:
After all is said which can be said of the aptitude for
affairs, the resources, audacty and industry of Theodore Roose-
welt as a candidate for office-that being his livelong profess
sional empoyment-his method recalls the habit of the ostrich
at the moment of danger hiding it's head while leaving it's body
exposed to attack. One would think the Gary dinner and the
Bacon luncheon too obvious to fool anybody. Yet the wouldbe
partaker of the third cup of coffee those entertainments were
intended to provide seems to fancy his plans and schemes thus
publicly exploited in a state of perfect concealment.
but what of the republican party? Granted that the
|%blackmail proceeding of the Big Stick, bearing the menace,
Take me or defeat, !" supported by the abundant money inter
ests, is a serious matter, can sensible party managers believe it
either a sure or a tempting promise? If they yield to it and
are beaten, what then?
''The old federal party went down beneath the odium of
the Alien and Sedition laws. The old wing party petered out
in the disgrace of acknowledgement. Each passed from the
scene never to rise again. Suppose the republican party, deaf
to the admonitions of history and blind to a tradition more
sacred than law, bitches on to the chariot of third termism;
hops up behind the man on horseback; not only accepts, but
proclaims, its Diaz, and, taking the bull of life tenure by the
horns, shamelessly proposes to Mexicanize the heaven-blessed
Union of Washington and Lincoln-all at the bidding of the
money devll-and loses the election; will it not go the way of
federals and the wings?
Upon the Roosevelt program, as given out by him and
underlined by the Gary dinner and the Bacon luncheon-an
issue which can nowise be escaped-it is the opinion of the
Courler-Journal that victory will not be possible. Yet, for the
sake OF argument, assuming it possible, what would the repub-
llcan party get? 1t would get nothing but slavery. first TO an
ambitious, masterful and freakish man, and second, to a group
