zzs ACRES OF SA BEANS
IS DR.. CAHILL'S STUNT

DR.. l.. L. Cahill of this city is
planting 22S acres to beans. The
doctor has some of the finest pros
poets for successful bean crop that
lis to be seen anywhere. For the
past thee years he has devoted a
considerable amount of time and
money to the raising of Pinto beans,
and last year he was greatly reward
ed for his efforts. He raised and
harvested $4,000 pounds of the fam
GUS Pintos on 90 acres of ground.
These beans received only small
amount of irrigation, but they were
cultivated properly and handled in
the right manner. The doctor has
cleaned and picked his seed beans
each year and the result Of each crop
raised shows that the beans have
become larger and better in every
way DR.. Cahill has turned down
the fancy price of zoe per pound
for his present supply Of seed beans,
which offer he received from the
State war committee. He shipped
two sacks to a farmer in Colorado
Springs who had to come across with
$48 for the two sacks, which con-
tained just two hundred pounds of
beans.
The doctor is very optimistic in his
belief that the Pinto bean is the
crop that will make Colfax Coun-
ty famous. He has, at any rate,
proved that beans can be raised
right here in Springer with very lit
tie irrigation, if the proper care is
given them by cultivation.

Gaelic Competitiou

Imports from China, British East
Indies, and Japan increased $l0s,-
100000 during the ten months Of the
current fiscal year, ended April 80,
over the same period 1916, and they
were $2OOo0,0O0 over the record
for the 1913 period, under the pro-
tective tariff law, or an increase of
nearly 100 per cent. The total from
the three countries for the period
ended April last was SAIL 100000, or
one-fifth of our total importation
from all the world. During the
1918 period imports from these three
countries amounted to S2ll0N)000. or
slightly over one-ninth of nrr total
Importation. This gives some ir:ea
of the change which has been taken
in trade currents. and the extent to
which those countries having the
lowest cost of production and labor
wage in the world are profiting by
the Wilson-Underwood tariff law.

Reward For Fund.Raiser

Washington, June N.-Ihe Presi-
dent seems determined to lodge the
centralized purchasing power of a
wartime government in the hands
of Barney" Baruch.
1t will require Congressional ac-
ton, in the first place to create
the office of purchasing agent, and
then to define the duties OF the
position before Mr.. Baruch can be
named and the chances are that the
intervening debate will be interest
jng. Mr.. Baruch first came into
national notice at the time of the
leak, last December. He testi-
fled before the Congressional COM
mttee of investigation with cynical
frankness and his disclosures show
ed that he made several hundred
thousand dollars by going Short of
the market" just prior to the Presi-
dents appearance before Congress
to appeal for peace in Europe. Mr..
Baruch testified that his gains were
the result solely of his own acumen
in deducing approaching facts from
a nebulous situation in national and
international affairs. If he could
apply this wizardry of intellectual
process to the purchase OF commodi-
ties for the nation, he would of
course, be the one man in all the
world for the place which the Presi-
dent has in mind for him.
1t remains to be stated, however,
that Mr.. Baruch's whole career has
not been in the line of constructive
endeavor. The great bear" in Wall
Street operations, the tendency of
his efforts has been toward the des-
tructive rather than the creative
agencies of modern financial opera
tions, and despite his great wealth
and his tremendous energy and his
|undoubted acumen, he has never been
asked to associate himself with any
of the great commercial and in
dustrial enterprises of the age. This
affords no testimonial to his ability
as an organizer and causes some
skepticism regarding the wisdom
of choosing him for the post of
central purchasing agent for all the
allied world.
Mr.. Wilson's judgment of men has
not always been of the best-as
the personnel of his Cabinet has
constantly evidenced and never
more so than today. Consequent
ly, his penchant for Mr.. Baruch
causes no particular wonderment
here, especially when it is recalled
that the Wilson campaign fund has
has been a large beneficiary OF Mr.
Baruch's erosity, not only from
his own purse but from the Of
fers of those whom Mr. Baruch's per-
suasiveness has been able to affect

DANIELS DOES

LIGHT TURNED ON
BUT CONGRESS SHOWS TEN
DENCY TO DO ITS DUTY
BY STAYING RIGHT ON
THE JOB AND INFORMING
ITSELF FULLY

Washington, June Ex-senator
Phelan of California, Democrat
though he is. has exposed the weak
ness of Josephus Daniels. The Sc.
sretary was making a statement be-
fore the committee on naval affairs
and the topic under consideration
was series of letters received ny
Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey
n which was described the defective
ammunition provided for the armed
merchantmen, especially for the
Mongolia. on board of which two
explosion of an inferior shell. SEN
ator Frelinghuysen regarded these
letters as confidential, and in that
sense he had communicated them to
Secretary Daniels, from whom he
was endeavoring to elicit some in
formation for the benefit of the COM
nittee. Mr.. Daniels lost his temper
and exclaimed that the letters en-
anated from "either a traitor or
spy. who, he declared, must have
had access to the files of the Navy
Department. Oblivious to the OBJ
yious comment upon condition in
his department. the Secretary was
proceeding to animadversions upon
Senator Frelinghuysen's motives,
uAen Senator Phelan quietly broke
h with the query: "Are you show
ing this resentment because these
things have been made public or be-
cause they are true1" The Secretary
admitted that some Of the allegations
regarding the defective shells were
true but he continued his fulmina-
tions against the source of the in
formation.
This is the tender spot in the
administrative departments every
where. 1t is the truth which punct-
ures the pretensions of the Danielses
and the others like him and which
arouses them to frenzy Of denuncia-
tion. Yet the truth cannot always
remain hidden. The disclosure that
there is someone in the Navy De-
partment who has access to the
files and who has communicated to
outsiders the knowledge which he
has gained there will not be, reassur-
ing either to Congress or to the
country and the investigation which
will be made of conditions in that
department will be carried into other
departments unless there is speedy
indication of purpose to clean
house everywhere. These investiga-
fions will be made by Congressional
committees whose animus will not
be altogether friendly-and the ad-
ministration will be the loser. II
Mr.. Wilson had been willing at the
outset to accept the cooperation of
a joint committee on the conduct of
the war as the Weeks-Madden reso-
luton calls for, much if not all of
this unpleasantness would have been
obviated. II the administration is
unwilling to have Congress cooper
ate, it should not be resentful If
Congress determines to investigate.

Mine Labor Moratorium.

Republican Members have intro
duced several bills during the pre-
sent session to enable homesteaders
and mining claimants to enlist in
the war. Representative Willis l..
Hawley of Oregon now comes for
ward with a measure that proposes
to set aside for the duration rf the
war the provision of law that re-
qu'res labor or improvements to be
expended on a mining claim each
year until patent is granted. The
passage of such measure would
undoubtedly be a relief to many
young men in the West, and en-
courage them to do their "bit".

The House has refused to agree
to the Senate's proposal to buy the
property of the Jamestown Exposi-
tion for naval training station.
The property was bought in at a
receivers sale a few years ago for

ment, but Congress has always turn
ed deaf ear to their plea until
now, under pressure from Secretary
Daniels and upon the plea of "war
necessity, when it is proposed to
pay 81, 100000 for the property with
some more land added, and to ex-
pend the further sum of $l6N,OC

No Time for Tumu1ty

Mr.. Tumulty, the Presidents pri-
vatc secretary, finds himself re-
cognized as the controlling factor
in the Democratic politics of his
county in New Jersey and as one
of the big men in the Democracy
of the State. Consequently, it is
not as all surprising that we are
told of his "being more and more
talked of" in connection with his
party's nomination for Governor or
Senator next year. Nor is it sur
prising in this discussion to hear
that "the Federal office holding
crowd is so1didly behind Tumulty
throughout the State. Neverthe-
less, we cannot arouse anys sconsider-
able alarm over the Tumulty. candi-
dacy for anything. In the first
place, New Jersey has shown an
inconquerable habit of repudiating
the Wilson issue whenever it is
