FARMERS COMPLAINT AGAINST
WILSON,

One of the dire results of the yielding
OF Congress to threats in the passage OF
class legislation, will inevitably be the
leading of other classes to follow suit
Now that the railroad employees have held
up Congress. others may be depended
upon to adopt similar tactics. and NJ body
can tell where it will all end.
For instance, the Texas Farmers Union.
which naturally contains many demo-
Gratis, has given out statement through
its president, II. II. Pope, which will
interest the farmers Of Vermont I'm
particular. The statement reads as fol-
lows
THE people Of this nation have dur
Ing the past week, passed through the
most humiiating experience this gov
eminent has ever endured. few labor
union leaders have stood at the portals
of Congress demanding the government
give them ransom or they would
wreck society This nation. instead
of meeting the situation hraVcly, has
delivered the goods in fear and tlemb-
ling
"Our American Congress has stood
within the shadow of the goddess of Jus
tce and voted an increase in wages to
10000 trainmen, who are the highest
paid lahorerS in the world. and never
at any time mentioned the 5000 track
men who are, perhaps, the poorest paid
workmen in the world, and who must
subsist almost wholly upon the crumbs
that the trainmen leave upon the table.

PARTY TICKETS AND INDEPEND-
EMF VOTING.

The charge has been made that the
direct primary discourages Independent
voting. This is apparently the case but
the moment you analyze the situation
you see this Is not So
In the first place, any voter can write
the name of any new candidate he
pleases in connection with every office
from top to bottom.
In the second place, the direct primary
has punched all former caucuses for
different tickets. State senatorial. con
gressional, county and town Representa-
tive in one. 1t is true that the different
nominations are made at the same time,
but the five ballots are separate and
distinct There is no law compelling n
republican to support all republicans for
office. or a democrat to support all
democrats.
The law provides that voter can not
vote for republican and democratic
candidates on the same ballot but this
does not prevent a voter from support
Ing. for example, a democrat for n county
office and a republican for State office,
since these two tickets, state and county,
are on separate ballots.
The intent Of the direct primary law
is to prevent members of one party
from going into the caucuses of the other
party and forcing nominations that are
weak on the opposite party, a citizen

ballot on which the voter has marked
both republicans and democrats for
different offices on the county ballot can
nave no bearing on another ballot for
State or senatorial or congressional or
town representative ballots
1t thus becomes evident that the direct
primary does not prevent independent
voting. In other words, the direct primary
does not force the voter to supper; the

offices to be filled.

A TELEPHONE TRIANGLE
I do not know how the wires got
crossed. I've read of such things in
story books, but I never believed they
were true.
I lay there on my bed of pain and
heard a cooling voice say: But,
Dicky boy, you told me last night
that you loved me. Don't you feel the
same today"
why, of course, I feel the same,
honey" came in Dicks clear, cool
tones. but you know I can't say it
over the phone. III tell it to you to-
night, however, in no uncertain
terms"
"Oh, darling" came the words in
a murmur, you're the very sweetest
Dicky boy in all the great, big
world"
Even while l was listening to hear
what Dick would say to that, my
mind flew back to the time when we
were first married and he was so
peeved when I called him ''Dicky."
He seemed to like it now, however.
For he said, Say it again, honey. I
know it isn't true, but I like it just
the same"
"Of course, it is true, was the an
swer from the other end of the wire
rs there another man in all the
world would be as sweet to me as my
Dicky boy is, and doesn't every one
say that you are a monument of pa
hence with that sick wife of yOurs?"
Wen leave my wife out of it, Co
raIe," said Dick in a ChOked voice.
Il wish l could, dear boy, I wish I
could" came in the tender tones of
the wOman's voice, supplemented by
a kind of gTOan from Dick, but I'm

Goodbye, little girl" said Dick,
and I heard a click, click, which evil

I too hung up the phone and I
