THE LATEST PEACE OFFER.

Germany's latest "peace OFFER is
like all the others--vaguc, insincere
and imnossible. 1t is made in a
roundabout manner through the Aus
trian Foreign Minister by way of the
Russian Boisheviki. Germany has
never vet made straishtout, def
mite, authorized offer of peace.
But she continually sends up trial
balloons like this latest one. The
purpose is twoiold--to cause. diaso--
snson among her enemies; and to
keep the German people befocled
with tho notion that they are fiDht-
ing defensive war and that it roes
on because the Allies are bent on
conquest.

large rcneralities about accepting

But they do not actually propose to
do any such thing. They do moi
offer to rehabilitate Belgium and

the Allies, have promptly rejected the

FARMERS RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

"1f the editors c., organize, why
should not the farmers also have the
same right and privilcge?" queries

League member. in letter to the
Alexandria Citizen. "The reason
why the farmer joins the Nonpar-
tisan League" he continues. ais be-
cause he sees that every other class
of pople are getting organized"
Mr.. McMahan is repeating ia
vorite argument Of Nonpartisan or
ganizers. an argument that will not
have much weight with any we'll in
formed farmer There is no parallel
between the many organizations of
village and city. workers and such a
movement as the Nonpartisan
League. ~
Take the Mime vita Editorial AS
ISOLATION. for instance, referred to in
the McMahan letter. The news
paper editor who Joins, does so to
get the benefit of the Associations
meetings and it's exchange of ideas
on the running of q newspaper. Far
mers have similar organizations in
their farmers clubs, and to some
extent in their Equity societies.
The editor who joins the Minneso-
ia Editorial association does not nay
sixteen dollars to get in. He pays q
modest two dollars which covers the
expense Of running the Association
He does not sign away his politica
independence, and agree to vote as
the heads of the organization tel
him. He does not entrust the run
ming Of the association to clique o.
"organizers" with ready tongues
The association keeps strictly out O
politics. and its members jealousl,
guard it from those who would ex
plot it for political ends.
Not only do farmers have rich
to organize, but it is their duty t,
do SO. What is objected to by mel
in other walks Of life is the effor
to set the farmer AGAINST the rest o
mankind and disrupt rural communi
ties. Many farmers, naturally, ar
taking a stand against this sort O
thing, as they come to realize wha

with the same difficulties - now con-
front the corporations Tho manage
ment by federal or District odioisls
would be just as seriously handicapped
without many more cars and several
more lines as the management Of today
finds itself. Tho only advantage possible
would be that in the absence Of divi-
dends larger sums might be invested
from the net earnings in cars and
tracks.
Priority cards for government work
ers have been suggested as q means Of
getting the department forces to their
places Of employment in season. This
is a doubtful e1pedient. Already the
greater part Of the congestion in the
rush hours is caused by the government
workers themselves. The use Of such
cards would undoubtedly result in seri-
Gus confusion and would probably de-
lay the operation of the cars. More cars
and more lines still remain the true So
luton.
More cars can be provided fairly soon
if orders are given at once for their con-
struction. Additional lines cannot be
built for months, with the greatest con-
centration Of labor and a prompt de-
livery of materials. Merely expressing
impatience with the present conditions
will not accomplish results. A squad Of
traffic experts has been at work for
nearly eight weeks studying the prob
lem and has produced two reports, one
relative to the congestion on the Capt.
tai Traction lines at 18th street and New
York avenue, and the other recommend
ing the abolition of skip-stops on both
systems. Meanwhile the problem grows
