ADMINISTRATION IS WATCHFUL OF
 FARM INTEREST.

Democratic deeds, in the interest of the American farmer, as contrasted with Republican inactivity or empty nromises, are strikingly analysed by the St. Louis Republic in the follow ing survey of what has been accom- n1ished under the Wilson administra- ton:
 The country's greatest business is that of farming. More money is in- vested in farms than in railroads or factories. Yet near to 50 years of Republican domination in the field of Federal government went by without any attempt on the part of the gov ernment to take any account of the farmers business problems, except to try to persuade him that he was bene- fited by a tariff on wheat, potatoes, etc. which never operated at a1l-on account of our great surplus of these products-except when our crops fail ed and 1t became necessary for the farmer to buy seed abroad, in which case he paid the tariff himself.
 AgricuItura1 Program.
 To-day the Democracy has been in power for three short years. It has formulated program of agricultural legislation consisting of eight items. It began with the intention of giving the farmers of the United States
 The opportunity to borrow money for short terms on nonperishable agricultural products. This is theirs through the Federal Reserve Act.
 A system of farm agents to develop
 hic xuo Y,1i bad through the Smith-Lever Act, which is in harmonious operation in AS States, State and Federal authorities cooperating perfectly.
 A Division of Markets in the De- partment of Agriculture. This is to- day a reality. For the first time in the history of the nation, machinery is at work to organize the distributing agencies through which 100, ,040, 900 people get their food supply.
 A Rural Credits Act. This has now passed both Houses of Congress and is in conference.
 A Cotton Standards Act. This is al- ready law. It establishes definite standards for the grading and com mercial paper secured by warehoused cotton may be bankable everywhere.
 Grain Grades Act.
 A Grain Grades Act This will do similar service for grain making one set of grades for the nation, so that buyers and sellers may know exactly what they are dealing in and warehouse certificates may mean the same thing everywhere. The bill is now in Congress.
 A Permissive Warehouse Law A lbi1l is now befort Congress providing
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-07-07

for Government supervision of ware houses, where desired. so that the pur- chaser of commercial paper secured by their warehouse certificates may know that the products named in the certificate are in storage, are safe against deterioration. and are of the quality certified.
 A Federal good roads law, provid- ing for co-operation between State and nation. after the precedent set in the Smith-Lever Act, in the construc- ton of good roads. The bill is ah admirable one. and is now In con ference.
 This program is before the Amer ican people. Enough of it has been put through already to enable the public to judge of it's practical char acter and sanity. It's different parts hang together like the links in a suit of chain mail. In view of it's char acter, what are the deserts of the party which has originated it and realized . a great part of it at the hands of the American farmer?

LABOR INTEREST WARNED AGAINST
 MONEY POWERS

In this Presidential campaign it will be well for those working men and women who concern themselves little about national politics to awaken to the importance of this falls general election. A determined effort is to be made by all the predatory interests to regain control of the White House and Congress- Should they succeed, if will of course, be the wage-earners the producers. who suffer.
 Peace, prosperity and happiness in larger measure than for many years now prevail throughout this nation. Higher Wages and shorter hours have been gained for more workers than ever before. Labor is represented in the Presidents Cabinet and in the halls, of Congress. Only this month a man in whom the plain people have implicit faith has gained a seat upon the United States Supreme Court bench over the protest of Wall street and allied corporations, and after one of the most vicious fights by the money powers ever directed against an ap- pofntee of the President. 5. Under Wilson the people of high and, low degree have been given a square deal.
 Working people in particular are not overenthusiastic about taking a judge for a President. They had one sad experience of this character in President William Howard Taft. Jus tice Hughes has been on the Supreme Court bench for little over six years, and has invariably joined in decisions favoring the money powers. His opin- ions have given comfort to the reac- tionaries and corporations. As Pres ident he could be expected to continue to travel with the plutes and ignore the plebes. As governor of New York he vetoed a bill giving the fire- men of New York City two-platoon system and the policemen an eight hour day. He likewise vetoed a bill providing equal pay for men and wo- men teachers in the public schools of that state.
 The working people of the nation have gained more in legislation and ad- ministration benefits since Woodrow Wilson became President than during all the previous administrations of this country.
 So far as the organized wokers are concerned, they will continue ito de- feat their enemies and elect their proved friends"

Wilson Has Ended Class Antagonist
 Says Noted Banker.

Jacob H. Schir. of Kuhn, Loeb and company, pays the following high tribute to the President:
 President Wilson's administration has been almost throughout con- structive one. The enactment of a new and, just tariff law based mainly upon revenue requirements and the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank systems are momentous achieve ments, from the benefits of which the country should profit after the Euro pean war is over even more than at present.
 But what consider President Will sons greatest accomplishment is that he has in great measure succeeded in bringing about a rapproachment between the producing and the con suming classes, so that the great and hurtful antagonism which before the present administration came into pow CT had made itself felt almost in every substantial interest has now almost ceased"

COP. REFERENDUM
 ON COAST IN FAVOR |0F WILSON POLICIES
Representative DilPs Canvass Shows Big Sentiment for
 President.

l Democratic eongressn,en regard a.,
 very significant a referendum taken by Congressman Dill. in the Spokane Con. gressional district, State of Washing. ton. The referendum was on the vi. tai questions with which the adminis. tration is dealing. The President was sustained in every particular. The district is strongly Republican. Thousands of Replies. 'I sent a list of questions to every man and woman who voted in the Fifth Congressional district of Wash. ington in 1914, and I received literally thousands of replies" MT. Dill said These replies came from every class of people in every part of the district both city and country. The first question I asked was whether or not they favored increasing the appropria- tfons from s250.00O 900 to $50O,O0O- 900 for preparedness. In reply I re- ceived majority of 300 in favor of the big preparedness program. 'The total was 12,517. Those in favor were 6.412 and those opposed CLOS. And the striking thing about 1t was that in Spokane, a city of 14O,- 900 people,, my home town, the vote was nearly three to two in favor of this progra m while in the country dis trfcts surrounding Spokane, in the outlying counties, it was nearly three to two against the program.
 Overwhelmingly Republican I. Nov. happen to live in district that Is normally overwhelmingly Re- publican. and I asked two questions, the results of which are interesting from a political standpoint. [ asked whether. or not they were in favor of supporting the Presidents policy as to Mexico, and as to the European war, and the answers show that by vote of more than three to one they SUD- port the Presidents policy in Mexico, and by g vote of more than two to one they support him in his European pol icy."
 g9 How Questions Were Put MT. Dill read the questions and the totals in reply as follows
 Do you favor increasing appropria- tions for the army and navy from s25o .o00. 900 to $500, ,000,000 Yes, 6,412; No. 6,1p5. &
 Do you believe President Wilson's policy. toward Mexico should be sup ported? Yes. 8,216; No. 2,633.

The wooden tenement buildings

This amazing contrast has just
been brought to light by the annual

do away with the described cOndi-

need of some bill like the CTOsser

While the CrOsSeT bill, establishing
government farm colonies, is plan

clean up slums.

10000 immigrants are huddled to-

A third of these immigrants come

could only get onto farms in Amer

Here their children are weak and
sickly. In the dense-packed streets
some child is crushed or killed daily

The tenements swarm with a
dozen families to the floor, having
only one common sink among them.
The houses are perfect bedlams. Tu-
