ANNUL VOICE OF PEOPLE.

Porfrio Diaz maintained himself
for many years as the dictator, or as
our big press used to say, "the iron
man" of Mexico, by the simple ex-
pedient of stationing soldiers at the
polling places to order away his po-
itical opponents. No laws were
changed that would indicate that
Mexico had ceased to be republic
and had become an empire. In fact,
no other change was necessary, for
when the right of Independent dis
cussion and voting has disappeared
nothing else matters. And what a
splendid golden age our concession
hunters had in Mexico in those days!

to slip out quietly by similar means >

ELEVATORS LIE
IDLE in STATE
GLASGOW CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE ASKS RELIEF FOR
FARMERS WHO CANNOT FIND
STORAGE FOR GRAIN.

The Montana State Council OF
Defense has been petitioned by the
Glasgow Chamber of Commerce to
aid in efforts being made to give
Montana farmers relief from the
present grain blockade in the state,
which is costing the farmers much
money and causing destruction of
wheat that cannot be harvested be-
cause it cannot be moved.
Secretary Greenfield of the coun-
ell has received a statement from
The Glasgow Chamber, saying that
elevators belonging to the Montana
Dakota Elevator company and the
Imperial Elevator company and To-
Gated in Valley county are empty,
and could be used to store the
grain, if Director McAdoo could be
induced to allow the railways 70
move it to them. The petition says:
May Be Distress.
'"There is a large amount of wheat
being marketed at Glasgow and
other railroad points that can not
be handled by the grain houses, due
to the present car shortage. Two
thirds of the farmers haul their
grain a distance of 40 to go miles
and it is necessary for them to sell
same Immediately after threshing
for reason this being a new farming
country, insufficient storage IA
cilities, exist, also weather condi-
lions governing the haulage at this
long distance. Unless these people
can dispose of their grain before
winter sets in so they may lay up
their supply of food and fuel for
winter. 1t would become condi-
ton of distress and possible loss of
life.
"A personal investigation was
made today as to the amount of
wheat held by the various grain
houses. We find that each one of
them have reached their capacity. 1t
has come to our notice that there is
several large grain houses within
the county, owned by the, Imperial
Elevator Co., and Observation-Disclosures
Elevator Co., that are not operating
at present. We would suggest that
these companies be asked to open
their houses at once, and help relieve
the present situation.
Methods Are Suggested
1--WE would urge that this situa
ton be brought to the attention Of
the food and railroad administration
with request that an embargo be
placed on short hauls to terminals,
In order that cars may be available
to relieve the elevators located at
far distance from the terminal
points,"

The Producers News So Year.
BITING OFF THEIR NOSE
TO SPITE THEIR FACE

Some business people, it seems, are
simply "biting off their nose to spite
their faces" SO to speak, just because
their views are not in harmony with
the views of the farmers and others
who are in sympathy with the Non
partisan league.
These same business people want
the league members and farmers to
trade with them. They know these
farmers who have banded together
for self preservation are. responsible
for the very existence of their busi-
ness establishments, the support of
their families and homes.
When the farmers established their
own newspaper in the county such
unpleasant remarks as, "its a frost;
it won't last long, it's a JOKE" etc.,
were made and the paper received
little or no support from the business
places. In spite of all this The Pro-
ducers News has fourished and is
now the largest newspaper in Sheri-
dan county.
Now that the paper has grown to
be 'the best paper in Sheridan
county," going into the homes of
hundreds of families who need daily
supplies, still some of the envious are
biting off their noses to spite their
faces" by refusing to advertise in

or one unwarranted by the trend of
events. The Diaz papers did not play
up his little scheme and our big press
here is very silent on the methods
annulling the right to vote. We
haven't yet gotten to the place where
the candidates Of special privileges
can station soldiers at the booths, but
we have other methods more in keep
ing with our habit of thought.
BALLOT STUFFING COMMON
Every wideawake American knows
for instance, that fraudulent counting
of votes and ballot-box stufing are
common throughout America. Not
only in the '4Solid South" where
these things are so common as to
constitute the funny part of political
"reminiscences, but North, East and
West there is vast amount Of these
fraud votes which no representative
Of the public interests can hope to
convert.
The "Solid South" also gives us
the poll-tax method and the educa-
tional tests by which not only negro
votes but the votes of the poorer
white element are made impossible.
Again economic conditions have given
us rapidly increasing number of
migratory workers and we simply
disfranchise them. We have made no
new provision for them because they
would be working-class voters. They
have just as much to say about the
government under which they live as
they would have had in the old auto
cratic Russia and no more.
Again there is the method of buy
ing votes-a very old American in
stitution-which becomes more rath-
er than less important as wealth be-
comes more concentrated and the is
sues between the people and special
privilege become more tightly drawn.
The parlor reformers perennially re-
assure the country that this crude old
method is thing of the past, but it
is thing of the past only in the
sense that the last election is over. 1t
will blossom out again at the next
trial of strength.
NEW SCHEMES IN NORTHWEST
The Northwest, where the organ
lied farmers and organized labor
have entered politics, has developed
some new methods of annulling po-
litical control by the ballot. Previous
TO the election false arrests or frame
ups of the farmer leaders were made;
open meetings were forbidden IN
many parts to keep the voters from
hearing the opposition case; individu-
al farmers throughout the North
west were inundated to keep away
from the farmer organization and
later from the polls. In some parts
the farmers were actually deported
from thier homes where they re-
fused to yield or treated to tar and
feathers. In not few sections
schemers in the various war organi-
cations brought pressure to bear on
the organized farmers.
The most hopeful thing that can
be said for reform in America is that
in most of the Northern states it can
win if the number of voters in favor
of it constitute so overwhelming a
majority that efforts to count it out
would be too obvious. After running
the gauntlets of the kept press, the
old party machines, the huge slush
funds, the prediction intimidation
and violence, reform candidates must
get big majorities. We shall probab-
ly never have again any narrow ma
jority reform officials in key posi-
tons.

Airman in Parachute
Plunges From plane
Captain Sarret Successfully
Tests Life-Saving Device
in France
(Bg The Associated pr.ss)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Tuesday, July 30.-Captain
Sarret. g French aviator, has carried
out the first experiment on record here
of falling from a moving airplane with
q parachute
Captain Sarret dropped 500 yards
with an umbrella twelve yards in diam
eter, and landed safely He occupied
and fell from the observers position,
but similar experiments for the pilot
will be undertaken soon.
The aviator crawled out of his seat
when the plane was above smooth
ground and hung by his hands, with the
parachute firmly attached to his body
Snd lightly attached to the airplane
When he jumped the parachute opened
perfectly and bore him gently to the
ground, where he landed unharmed
Experiments which have been carried
on during the past have been made
with sand bags, which were cut loose
at varying heights.
Although Captain Sarret's trial was
made at a height Of 500 yards, it is de.
clared there is no obstacle to jumping
greater distance, since the parachute
has an even better chance to open
When successful the employment of
parachutes will save the lives of manv
aviators. Airmcn will be able to leave
their flaming machines, and will not
meet death, as did Major Raoul Lufbery

LONDON, July 31.-Capture by the
Czecho- -Slovaks, in surprise attack, of
& large railway bridge at Syzram, in
the Volga region, is reported in Mos
COW dispatch transmitted by the Cen
tral News correspondent at Amster-
Dam. The capture, the message says,
secures to the Czecho-S -Slovaks in this
region communication with Siberia
The bridge in question is probably
one of the Transsiberian line bridges
across the Volga River. The location
given is some seventy miles south of
Slmbrisk, about $50 miles southeast of
Moscow.
According to Moscow newspapers, the
Czecho- -Slovaks have mobii3ed the
classes of 1912 to 1890 at Omsk, and
the classes of 1917 to 1919 at kurghan.
The workers and peasants, IL is said
protested strongly against this action

The Chinese Ambassador to France
says China has no intention to en-

the principle Of selfdetermination for

tises itself as being recognized by the
