THE PRIVILEGED" FARMER.

There is some humor in the asser-
ton of the New York Journal Of
Commerce that "The farmers are be-
ing elevated into privileged class,
above law. whose prosperity Is
charge upon the rest Of the country"
Pretty soon we shall hear Of the
farmers as "robber barons," "male-
factors of great wealth." or, perhaps,
as an "insidious lobby" And the
worst of it is that the poor old farm
err won't even know what hard names
he is being called. Getting out at
half past five in the morning to milk
the cows before breakfast so he san
be in the field by seven, spending
the noon hour driving the pigs out
Of the garden, and too tired to read
a newspaper after he has finished the
chores along about eight at night,
the farmer has no opportunity TO
learn what the city man thinks Of
him. And, perhaps, he won't care.
All he wants is to have the city
man come out and offer him a reas-
onably good price for the farm that
looks 50 much like a gold mine to the
urban resident.

DYNAMITE IN TRUNK

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad. Colo.-A trunk containing
twenty-five sticks of dynamite was
seized here by the sheriff, aided by
r. Lee Craft of the Federal Depart
ment of Justice, and Alex Stova and
Andrew Anton, Austrians, alleged
owners of the trunk, are being held
in the county jail. They are thought
to be spies.
Their arrest was brought about by
their peculiar actions while in Ration,
N. NJ. Craft saw them on the Santa
Fe depot platform, and noticed that
they kept a close watch on a trunk
which they had just checked He at
once supposed that they were SNUG
Cling liquor into Trinidad, and he no
titled the sheriff of Las Animas coun-

the men boarded train for Trinidad
Craft followed them. AS they alight-

rest.
Anton says the dynamite belongs to
Stoya, and that it was purchased
few days ago in Yankee, N. M. Stova
denies ownership of the explosive and
says he did not know it was in the
trunk. Stova, who is about rs years
of age, is we'll educated. His compan-
ion, who is older, is of different type.
The authorities believe Stova is in the
employ of the German government
and that Anton is merely an assist
ant.
