"INVICTUS."

Zone of the greatest poems in any
language is this by William Ernest
Henley.)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
l thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch Of circumstance
I have not WINGED nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond the place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate.
How charged with punishment the
scroll.
am the master of my fate,
1 am the captain of my SOUL

The Nicaragua treaty, negotiated by
Mr.. Bryan and ratified by the U. S.
Senate is an exceedingly advantageous
pact for this country If ratified by
Nicaragua it will give this country
another canal route and many other
valuable rights on the isthmus. The
time may come when it will be con-
sidered cheaper to build sea level
canal at Nicaragua than to keep the
Panama canal open.

FARMER REAPS GAIN
: BY E|GH1H0UR LAW
*.
Prevented Tying Up Of Crops
Valued at &c. 900, 900.
BY FRANK G. ODELL
Editor Nebraska Farm Magazine.

The New York Sun quotes James
Wilson, Of Iowa, former Secretary OF
Agriculture, as saying that the farmers
were hit hardest by the Adamson
Eight-hour Law, which stopped the
threatened general railroad strike.
According to The Sun, Mr.. Wilson
said:
1.-THE farmer has no eight-hour day.
Should that number Of hours become
general in all occupations, including
the farm, the prices Of food would
rise still higher thar those current"
The logic of the venerable ex-Sec-
rotary is bad. The farmer is not wor-
rying about the high price Of food.
He raises his own food. He grows
food for sale. That's his business.
If, as the ex-Secretary says,-the
e%ight-hour day will increase the cost
of food,-the farmer has everything
to gain.
And Uncle JIM has overlooked the
fact that the farmers of the United
States had not less than $4,000 100000
worth of products practically ready
to send to market when the strike
crisis was imminent at the first OF
September. The threatened strike
would have paraIyzed the farmers
market and stopped the wage Of the
worker in every industry.
In~calculable losses, running into
hundreds of millions. were averted
when the strike "a prevented.
Woodrow Wilson did it.
"Tama JIM was Secretary of Agri-
culture through four Republican Ad-
Observation-Disclosures years. Thes
were sixteen years of m~onopolistic
control Of the farmers market. Dur
ing this period, these great combina-
tons, which have stood between the
producer and the consumer, reached
the zenith of their power. Greed and
eXtOrtiOn ran riot.
During this period, the farmers Of
the country complained continually Of
Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-11-01

capitalistic extOrtiOn. They held con.
ventions throughout the great grain
and live stock belt to voice their pro-
test. They sent Populations Of able
men to Washington. They sent their
appeals for justice to the Secretary of
Agriculture and waited at the door
OF the White House during the admin
istrations Of Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft. They asked for bread and re-
ceived stones Of Indifference. They
demanded justice and received plati-
tudes about prosperity" content
ment," and making two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before"
Then came another Wilson-Wood-
row Wilson. Things began to change.
David F. Houston was made Secretary
Of Agriculture. For the first time in
the history Of the Government, the
business problems of the farmer re-
ceived the attentions Of his Govern
ment. The Office of Markets and
the Bureau of Rural Organization were
created to help him break the strangle-
hold Of entrenched monopoly. The
epoch-making Rural Credits Law was
passed by Woodrow Wilson and
Democratic Congress. The power Of
the usurer n extortioner was broken
when that Act was signed.
The farmer has a good memory. He
does not forget his lifelong battle
with ~entrenched privilege-organized
and grown purse-proud during forty
years of Republican Indifference and
misrule. He will not forget that 1t was
WOODROW WILSON, the Peoples
President, who saved his market from
ruin on Sept. 2, 1915. The special
%pleadings of Republican defenders Of
special privilege and monopoly will
find the farmers ready on Nov. Z.
