RAPS DEMOCRATS.
Believes Party in Power Dominated
by Southern Influences.

To the Editor of The Washington
Herald: A government for, by and of
the people. Not a pseudo democracy.
such as We now have in the United
States on the Western Continent.
The party now in power in this coun-
try Is very far from being Democratic
i'm its dealings with at least twelve
or thirteen millions of our most loyal.
patriotic, brave. American-born citi-
zens, who are being murdered daily
and denied Democratic right of a fair
and impartial trial by q jury. That
is not ALL IN certain parts OF this
country they are denied their con-
stitutional right to vote, as well as
their right to life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, while at the
same time We hear on the floor of
Senate men who are ostensibIy de-
claring their great love for Democra-
cy; men who are themselves guilty
of each and every one OF these
wrongs, and who have never been
heard to utter a word against lynch
ing by burning at the stake.
1 have been listening for many years
to hear some one who is such a
great lover of Democracy denounce
these daily outrages being perpetrated
upon certain class of our people.
more especially in the Southern por-
ton of our country. l have not heard
word of condemnation coming
from the party now in power, but
the day Is not far distant when we
will win this gigantic world war, and
when every American will enjoy equal
liberty and protection under, a more
perfect Republican-Democrac To
say that the party now in power
in this country is. Democratic por-
trays great ignorance of polity. The
fact is. that the party now in power
in this country is better described by
thinking Americans as the Southern
slavocracy-democracy (party.)

cRITICISES FARMERS.
Department Worker Says They Are
Among Pro6teers.

To the editor of The Washington
Herald: The following excerpts from a
letter from my son. who lives in
small New York State city, is so full OF
the milk of the cocoanut in the present
high cost of living. 1 think 1 should
share 1t with Herald readers:
speaking of the farmers holding
back their wheat and forcing high
prices. you should observe our farmers
about here. Last fall I attempted to
buy bushel of potatoes from one of
them for 81. He answered that he
would not sell. He said he had raised
500 bushels and was going to hold them
for "a a bushel. | tried to convince
him that he was foolish, as the gov
ernment report showed an enormous
surplus. and also pointed out that
New York City's entire needs had
been contracted for at $3.50 a bushel
with farmers around Bfnghamton.
What was the result? Last winter was
the coldest in many years. Farmer
after farmer reports his potatoes II or
en-. and the retail price now is sl.so
bushel. In this particular farmers s
case by unpatriotically holding back
his crop In the hope of making 5000,
instead Of selling for $1,000 he can sell
them now for only $500, providing he
lost none by freezing, which Is very
unlikely.
Personally. am tickled to death by
the way these profiteers have been
stung. The farmers of today seem to
want to run only a dairy farm. They
are petted and pampered by the gov
ernment. exempted from the draft.
recipients OF loans. ETC., and in re-
turn they subscribe next to nothing
for the Liberty Loans. Instead of
making butter they buy It. They buy
their meat, pork, ~ham. bacon, maple
syrup and other things they should
raise. Instead Of working little and
growing grain for themselves and
their chickens they buy all of their
poultry feed and then boost the price
of eggs. 'r, n
Can you imagine farmers back in
your youth who wouldn't raise few
pigs Of their own, or who didn't make
their own butter. or who had wives
who didn't bake their own bread? Now
the farmer wants merely to do a dairy
business. and he even uses mechan-
ical mixer, which believe is injuri-
Gus and shortens the life. of the COW.
One Of the worst things they did to
my mind was the dumping of milk
into the roads when infiicting punish
ment on the farmers who wouldn't
join the strike. Their Dairymen's
League should be prosecuted under

DEFENDS OFFICERS.
Ordnance Department Employe Re-
sents Swivel Chair Criticism.

To the Editor of The Washington
Herald: win You be so kind as to
allow me a Iittle' space in the valuable
like to take exception to the article
appearing I'm your paper discriminat-
ing against the enlist ,nel of
the Ordnance Department. In refer
ence to the article OF the 18th instant
calling the work of the boys SNAP"
beg to state that il their work here
has been a snap 1 do not care for a
snap. Here they drill one hour be-
fore the Office is open and their work
at the desk Is as hard as any of the
Civil Service employees. in fact, the
n jority of them were Civil Service
employees before they entered the
Ordnance and had their pay reduced
100 per cent. Whenever a department
is required to move these are the boys
who act as laborers and jump the
furniture from one building to an
other and from one department to
another.
As far as white bands. recom-.
inended by Representative Kitchin is
concerned. would say that the. white
bands around the arms of some OF
the members of Congress who are
blocking the wheels Of progress and
are not standing behind the admin
istration would be much more appro-
pirate. Would also call attention to
the fact that in the near future the
boys who are doing their full share
here will soon be in France shoulder
ing responsibilities with the boys in
the trenches and feel that it Is an in
suit and discrimination against any
department Of the service. All
branches of the service must have
men. Why rub it into some because
their work appears little easier than
some other? Things are not always
what they seem.

CLAIMS DISCRIMINATION.
James E. Gordon Deplores Class
Distinction in Navy.

To the Editor of The Washington
Herald: In my conversation with
recently honorably discharged enlisted
man of the navy was apprised of the
fact that there is still a caste in Dam
iels' democratic navy. which in my
opinion, the Secretary is entirely ig-
norant OF.
A Chief Quartermaster with twenty
years service to his credit and at the
present time stationed in this city,
has asked to be allowed to take the
examination for ensign. He was del
icately informed that although he
was a first-class man and valuable
to the service, they hardly thought
he could hold up the social end of 1t,
but would make him a broken striper.
(chief warrant officer) without fur
ther examination.
Now this man in question is thor
ough navy man, practical and thor
oughly schooled in the ways of the
service. 1t is true that he has been
before the mast (court-martiaD on
different occasions, and 1t is also true
that man is not a sailor until he
has "toed the seam.''
They are sending the social elite to
Annapolis to make ensigns of them
after ten weeks training, but refuse
to commission a man who they ad-
init is deserving the honor. because
they are afraid he can't dance or
might make some break at the Of
ficers' mess or in ballroom.
Can you imagine them making an
officer in ten weeks and then refusing
a commission to one who is admittedly
qualified for the job? No wonder we
have such a number of cork-tip Of

coupons TO get one of those commits
