each foot.

A meeting of the farmers and

every person residing within Is
miles of the city. A farmer selling
grain is compelled to accept any
price set by the gamblers in the
chamber of commerce, he is COM
PEELED to pay the freight On the
grain to the Twin Cities, pay the
local dealer a profit, the commission
house a profit, the mill a profit on
grinding the wheat, then comes the
wholesaler and the retailer, and
freight back on the flour. By the
time the farmer gets the flour it is
costing him considerably more than
it would if he simply had to haul
his wheat to the mill, ~ay for its
grinding, and take the -four home.
In addition to the flour he would
get his screenings, bran and shorts
back. Under the present plan he
is simply docked the amount of
screenings in his wheat, is asked to
pay the freight on It to the cities,
and gets nothing back.
1t would probably be too large an
undertaking for one man to put up
a mill in this city, and for that rea-

WHY WE FIGHT

The Buffalo News gives its yer sion Of the reason why the United States entered the war in these words: l.,
 We enter this war because we want to make our contribution to the accumulated service of man kind. We stand for a larger justice, a kinder fate for the hum Dlest, a deeper regard for the eter- nal Yerities Of truth. the sacredness of lie ana the majesty of man.

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM

The Daily Alaskan is in receipt Of 8 book entitled "The Mexican Problem% written by c, w. Bar ron, He finds the essential Mexi- can problem to be 8 business prob lem, business with big B. and he proposes a business solution.
 A few extracts from the book read:
 In tb. future, national disorder must not be allowed anywhere in the world, for it leads to nterDa9on' al disorder,
 If there are no courts that men can trust, there can ba no credits or contracts. If these are not, neith- CT capital nor wages come.
 Man must work. God works an- gels work; devils work. There is no redemption for man; there IS no jrogress for man or woman; ex- cept by labor-labor of heart, mind' and hand, ..
 Seventeen million people on the richest mineral territory of the world that can grow anything in the world and produce food in abundance every month of the year use cart ridges for currency.
 The popular superstition Is that the Standard Oil interest has sought to grab the oil wealth of Mexico. If any one, however, had outside keys to 26 Broadway he could find there in three successive "expert" Ere ports condemning the early samples of Mexican oil as fakes.
 Nature Is wonderful in conceal ing her natural resources until the world is prepared fo them. Then it is discovered that she has all the while been hanging out invitation signs for man to dig and produce.

Germany's Murderous Policy Drove Us Into
 the War
By WILLIAM H. TAFT, Former President of the United States
TTTHEN man is on an Ameri-

'TXTHEN a man is on an Ameri- w can deck and under the
 American flag, citizen of the United States, he is as much entitled to protection from the un- lawful invasion of a foreign power as if he stood on the soil of the United States himself.
 In view, therefore, of the murder of 200 citizens and the announce ment of a policy to continue these murders, what alternative was there left open rather THAN A DEC LARATION OF WAR BY THE UNITED STATES?
 What is this nation against whom we are arrayed? The nation that has done these things is the great est military power in the world. It is a nation with whom, if we en- gage, we are likely to lose a million men, and all that to resent the sac rifce of only 200 souls.
 That, it is said, is truthful dis crepancy. Is it? It is if you look at it from a grossly material stand point, but it is not if you under stand what it means to consent to the murder of 200 of your fellow citizens because there is a powerful nation that you have to meet and overcome in order to vindicate your rights.
 IT MEANS SUBMISSION TO AN. OTHER POWER; IT MEANS GIVING UP THE INDEPENDENCE FOR WHICH WE FOUGHT IN 177S AND THE PRINCIPLES WE MADE SAG RIFIcEs TO MAINTAIN IN 1861.
