stand that, under our systems of buy

the interests intervening between the

the lions share.
Whether cooperation will result
between the labolang nan of the
eastern and middle-western sections
and the western farmers is merely q
matter of speculation. For the mos,

pRAcTlclNe LAW IN SENATE.

Senator Benjamin Tillman, who,
half a generation ago, was one OF the
big factors in legislation at Wash
ington, is reported to have said the
other day: 81 wish I didn't have a
suspicion that some men are practic-

to do so, refused to explain the mean

The statement is capable of various

senator and possibly those at whom
the observation was directed, know
exactly what it means.

portion of the senate Is composed OF
lawyers we might infer several things

WHY MEN HOLD OFF
FROM REGULAR ARMY

The officials in Washington are a
little uneasy over. the fact that the
of the nation do not to be
behind the government in the war
proposition. Last week was United
States Army week and the enlist
ments came in SO slow that the Dig
guns at Washington evidently com
menced to wonder if they were in an
unpopular movement.
1t certainly looks like it was not
over-popular from the way men OF
the country that know they will be
drafted, or stand a good chance OF
being drafted, but they are willing
to take the chance rather tina face
the music in Europe. We have talk
ed to several hundred men IN the
thine since the selective draft came
I'D and they are to a man agalnsl
going to Europe but they say let the
Germans start an invasion OF this
country and we will show them. We
would like to know the psychology Of
the question as it is really a puzzle te
us.
One of the reasons that we sugges1
is that the men of the country are
kept in ignorance of the things thai
are going on. If they really knew
some of the dangers this country
faces, they might feel different in the
matter.-Canton News.

Dear Madam:
Not only from an economic but also
from a scientific standpoint bread from
wheat flour--GARLAND FLOUR--is the best
all around food that nature produces.
It builds bone, delicate nerve tissue
and tough sineW. It makes soft damask
cheeks and steely muscles. It gives
stamina and strength.
Give your family more bread,
rolls, biscuits and things made from
GARLAND FLOUR. Give them the food ele-
ments their bodies need and that GARLAND
FLOUR contains generously in easily
assimilated form. At the same time
effect a real domestic economy.
Very truly yours,

.penitentiary, but a lawyer is strictly
within his code of ethics when he
pockets a retainer, although a re-
tainer intended to affect his course as
a legislator is entirely foreign to the
LAWYERS professional code.
Hence, the lawyer who isn't absolute
" "on the square," enjoys oppor-
t~unities for graft that are not open
to the common herd so far as risk
from exposure is concerned.
But Senator Tillman, as the Wash.
ipgton Times suggests, may have
meant his remark for methods rather
than measures. Perhaps it adds,
"Senator Tillman had reference mere
ly to the police court methods so
notably exemplifed in the cross-ex-
| animation by jim Reed of Herbert G.,
| Hoover, as though Hoover were a
criminal at bar and Reed the prose
cutting attorney"
lin Reed, be it remembered, is the
senator from Missouri, and it goes
without saving that there are many
Americans who are from Missouri
when either senator from that state
has the floor.
Ben Tillman is regarded throughout
the country, we think, as an honest
man, and we wish to d that, al
though we have voted a
democratic national ticket since the
time back 10 which our memory run
meth not, and what we may have done
before that we are not herein re
cording, we'd rather vote for an hon
est democrat any day in the veal
than for a dishonest man of any other
party.
We can overcome our mistakes IN
our governmental policies; we car
change paths if we find ourselves tC
be in the wrong one; We a retrace
orr stems when we discover ourselves
to be travelling in the opposite direc
J ton from hat which we should have
pursued; but well find it more di
cult to eradicate the tendencies Of
corruption in high places than tc
'.about face " with regard to nationa.
policies.
Therefore, the American people are
warranted in evincing more than pass
ing interest in Senator Tillman's OBJ
servation, which he admits is but {
suspicion, as yet.
One of the most sensible editorials
we have read recently concerning
newspaper postage appeared in thu
Sioux Falls Press, which takes the
position that the daily newspaper:
stand ready to pay the cost of mai
service and which points out the neet
of a REIMBURSEMENT of the rate of post
age. If, as it says, the trashy maya
zine and cheap-story periodical were
eliminated from the mails at the be
low-cost rate, it would be better TO
the country, better for the dali,
newspapers, better for the newspape.
readers, and would be a marked i'm
provement over existing conditions
But we fear that our contemporary
position in this matter is not in &C
cord with that of many of the dali,
newspapers, some of which appeare'
to have registered decided objection
to any changes in the postal regula
tons. But such papers stand in thei
own light, we believe. The Siou
Falls press is right: it would be benz
fetal to the dailies to have the trans
portatton of periodicals placed apo
a self-sustaining basis.
