WHY SINGLE OUT THE FARMERS?

The Republican confesses its in
ability even to understand the
thought .bebird the agitation for an
embargo on exports of wheat, or some
other governmental action TO force
arbitrarily downward the price of
farm products.
Did not the Standard Oil trust ar
bitrarily and deliberately advance the
price of gasoline loo per cent, in face
of q great surplus of production. as
shown by the government report?
And did anybody connected with
this government even so much as LIT
q finger against the oil trust for this
arbitrary use of its monopolstic
power to eXtort a Hooper cent EN-
IRA PROFIT from the public?
The mills lin the United States en-
gagged in the manufacture OF wood
sulphite (the chief constituent OF a
large part OF most kinds OF paperl
have arbitrarily and with scarcely
any justification i'll increase OF costs.
advanced the price of their product
approximately 4oo per cent. But has
any one suggested so much as a word
OF official criticism of these mills?
Has any one proposed to prosecute
them for the cxtortionate hold-up OF
which they have been guilty in vio-
lation, undoubtedly of constituted
law?
Now Ii such interests can simply
mulct the public out of ei.armous
EXTRA PROFITS, amounting 10 as
much as HUNDREDS OF PER CENT,
then why this talk of proceeding
against the farmers in some direct or
Indirect way. because a reduction of
more than q half billion bushels in
tho wheat production of North Amer
lea has, through the operation Of the
law of supply and demand, AND
THAT ALONE, increased the price OF
wheat?
When the oil trust and the coal
trust and all the other monopo,ies are
made to feel the majesty OF the law
for arbitrary eNactions of great sums
from the public without single good
reason in the law of supply and de
mand then and not till then will it be
time 10 talk OF moving against the
farmer because an unfavorable season
has so cut down his crops that the
demand for them results in an in
crease in price

These Observation-Disclosures do not
seem to think much Of their handi-
work. Everybody remembers how
Col Roosevelt turned against Taft,
after almost literally setting him
down in the White House And Col.
George Harvey. who discovered
Woodrow Wilson in political obliv-
ion and brought him out into the
bright light Of national prominence
and finally Witnessed the nomintion
and election of his ward, is in this
campaign supporting Gov Hughes for
the presidency. He summarizes his
opinions of the two men thus:
Hughes for America first Wilson
for Wilson first" Anyway. it is suifi-
GENTLY clear from the record, that
Wilson is shining example of in
gratitude personitied. Certainly in all
political history there is nothing to
compare with the spectacle of Will
sons summoning Harvey in the 1912
campaign after Harvey had fairly
made Wilson politically, and telling
Harvey that he did not want his sup
port any longer.

FRANK GOTCH IS WILLING.
Retired Wrestler Asks Better Terms
to Meet Stecher.

NEW YORK, January 13-Frank
Gotch, the retired world champion
catch-as-can wrestler. replied yester-
day to the fifteen-thousand-d dollar Of
fer made him by Harry Pollok and Jack
Curley to wrestle Joe Stecher in New
York. Gotch agreed to come out of his
retirement and meet Stecher, provided
he was assured that the public de-
manded such a match.
The retired champion, however. viii
not consider a fifteen thousand -dolla r
purse. He says that the bout between
him and Stecher would draw between
sf5.o00 and 100000 in Omaha or some
other middle western city where wres-
ting fourishes and both men are SO IA
vorably. known.
Gotch asks for another offer, but says
he must receive a much larger guaran-
tee for his services. and that under any
conditions the promoters must grant
him big percentage of the receipts.
Stecher, the American catch-as- can
champion, is young giant, scarcely
out of his teens, who is considered by
his Nebraska neighbors to be the great
est wrestler of all time. He will ma Ike
his first appearance in New York the
latter part of this month, provided a
BILE opponent can be found for him.
1t was hoped that Gotch might consent
to come here. but this appears unlikely
now, as his terms seem exorbitant.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

AS was to be expected. the Nationals
once more will do their training at Char
lottesville. Va. 1t will he the fifth con-
secutive- spring that Griffith has taken
his players there, and. Charlottesville
a chance for any other place getting an
opportunity to house the Griffmen dur
ing the training period.
Griffith is a methodical Individual He
gets in the habit of doing things in a
certain way, and it is no easy matter
to change him. He is for Charlottes-
willie first. last and all the time. though
he stands against the wishes of every
player he has on his list.
Griffith believes that it is beneficial
for the players to do their preliminary
work in that Charlottesville climate,
contrary to the theory of all other man
ayers of long experience that it re-
quires real warm weather to get a lot
of players into good fettle.
Applications from numerous cities
in the south were fled with Griffith re-
Gently. but none of them had a chance
as long as Charlottesville was on the
map.
Details as to when the players will!
be asked to make their way to the Vir-
ginia town will be decided on later.
Bill Carrgan is making an effort to
sign Eddie Mahan. the Harvard foot
ball star, who is believed to have the
making of a great pitcher. -Mahan has
beaten Princeton and Yale on several
occasions. and Carrigan figures that
with d little handling he will make a
pitcher of more than ordinary ability
he would be able to join the Red SoX
in June, when he graduates.

Fifth Consecutive Time That Virginia

Things have changed in base ball
since peace was declared. George Ken
worthy, once a National. who played
with the st. Louis Feds last season. has
written the following letter to Fielder
Jones:
My Dear Mr. Jones: Hearing that
YOU have been made manager of the
Browns, l wish to state that | am at
liberty for 1916 and am anxious to
know if ! could be of any use to you
either in the infield or in the outfield"
Jones did not even reply to Ken
worthy, for he knows he would not be
of help to the Browns.
A lot of other players are sure to
write letters of this character before
the season is on. There are many of
, them going back to the minors and a
lot of others will be fortunate if they
get any sort of a job.
Nothing has been heard by Manag ger
Griffith from Joe Gedeon, but there is
reason for this. Mrs. Gedeon. who
received a wire in Joe's absence wired
Griffith a week ago that Joe was hunt
ing up in the mountains and that he
would not return for week or so 1t
is expected that Griffith will hear some
thing from his second baseman before
the week is out.
There will be no Federal League play
ers on Miller Higgins Cardinals.
Huggins says there are only about six
PLAYERS in the defunct circuit who have
class enough to hold their own in fast
company and that these are drawing
more money than they are worth, and
would cost too much to make them
valuable.
Higgins says he has several deals
pending and that he will be able to
strengthen his team with players from
the American and National leagues
without taking over any of the Feds.
Huggins is supported in his stand by
Owner Britton. who. like him. does
not want any of the Fed players.
