A Minimum Price Guarantee.

The constituents Of Congressman James
W. Hustled of New York are fearful that
unless the farmers are guarante I'll a min
imum price for their products they will
their land will produce. The committee
on Public safety of Mr.. Husteds district
has determined to form a corporal on
which will guarantee minimum prices for
products raised on the additional acreage
which may be cultivated this year. They
have also appointed a committee t. come
to Washington and urge that similar ac-
ton be taken on the price question by
Congress and the Observation-Disclosures
ington correspondence.
The above is rather clumsily put, in
asmuch as the truth is that the farm
ers are willing to exert themselves" If
their exertions are to benefit the gen.
eral public as we'll as themselves. But
they will decline, we believe, to exert
themselves" as a patriotic duty when
they KNOW that their endeavors are
chiefly for the enrichment of a few
government-permitte pirates.
If this years crops are gobbled up by
spectators, warehousemen and gamb-
lers at starvation prices to the farmer
and exorbitant prices to the consumer
next spring will find such a status of
affairs in this country as never before
known. Producers and consumers are
at last beginning to understand and
get together for mutual protection.

.WEESE PREFERS
BULLET TONOOSE

Salt Lake City. Utah, June 29.-How-
ard De Weese, sentenced to death for
the Staying of his wife, last September,
has chosen to be shot rather than
hanged at the laws hands, July 6. He
hopes that no steps will be taken to
gain a new trial or a reprieve.
The laws of Utah provide that per-
son sentenced to death may choose the
way to die. Before deciding upon be-
ing shot, De Weese asked a prison
guard questions relative to the calibre
Of the bullets, stating that he did not
want the marksmen to play" with him
but to make death instantaneous.
De Weese eloped with the wife Of
Harry w. Fisher, haberdasher, from
New York. They went to Reno and
Pacific coast cities to live. Last Sep
tember the pair who had married at
Reno after Mrs. Fisher obtained a di-
vcrce, came to Salt Lake City.
A few days later neighbors became
suspicious and the apartment was en-
tered. They discovered the body Of
Mrs. De Weese, her features smashed
by a flatiron which lay on the bed
beside her.
A few months later De Weese sur
rendered to the Chicago police. In the
interval between his surrender and trial
he confessed to numerous burglaries
and boasted that he was the greatest
diamond thief Of the last decade. He
asserted that his wife was slain by
robbers with whom he formerly asso-
ciated. who had tracked him and his
wife to Salt Lake City and, when he
was out. committed the murder. to OBJ
tain $4,000 worth Of jewels which De
Weese said he had stolen.

Two Ways of Dojno Il.

To ensure ample support and ulti-
mate success for his proposed policy of
conscription, Sir Robert Borden, the
Conservative Prime Minister of Can
ada, has called upon Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. his great antagonist and lead
er Of the Liberal party. to join in form
ing a coalition cabinet to carry on the
government Of the Dominion during the
war. In this country we do things
differently. A Democratic President
decides upon conscription as a national
policy. he finds his own party defiant
and himself dependent upon Republi-
can support to pass the measure. Yet
Republicans are not called upon to take
seats in the cabinet nor to assume Of
ficial functions in helping to carry on
the government. If they do not come
up to the fullest measure Of co-opera-
tion with the leader Of their political
opponents, they are called traitors and
other like endearing terms. If they
make a nomination in Congressional
by-election, in a district which has
been for years Republican in repre-
sentation-as in the recent election in
New Hampshire-spokesm for the
administration are sent out from
Washington to tell the people of the
district that it will be counted treason
able for them to prefer Republican to
a Democrat. 1t may be this is the cor
rect way to unity nation at war. On
the other hand. it may be that the
Canadian method is better.
