MRS. HIRSCH IS TELLING
ON THE OLD MAN
CAssociated Press)

Atlanta, March 15.-Mrs. Margaret
Hirsch, charged with attempted YER
bal blackmail of Asa g. Gambler, the
millionaire mayor of Atlanta, took
the witness stand in her own behalf
this morning. Before starting her
statement the court room was cleared
of spectators at her request, includ-
ing members of the press. The de-
fense said they expected to prove the
defendant was the victim of threats
by j. W. Cook to reveal to her hus.
band details of what he saw in Mayor
Candler's office; that Gambler was
strongly attracted to Mrs. Hirsch and
used his influence and prominence to
induce her and persuade her to come
to his office and submit to his ad-
vances.
SHE PIPED HER EYE
Mrs. Hirsch concluded her state
ments shortly after noon. Her stay
on the stand, it was understood, was
prolonged by constant weeping and
. sobbing. Judge Hill ordered a recess
and the attorneys for the defense an
nounced they would confer during
luncheon as to putting on additional
witnesses.

ious election, the farmer govern.
ment in North Dakota has, nev.
ertheless, a splendid record OF
democratic legislation. The
state administration has also
made possible the appointment
of men to carry out the laws
who have acted for the common
people rather than for special
interests.
The most important of the
league promises was entirely
fulfilled, namely, the restoration
Of the state government to the
common people. This return of
popular rule became more i'm
portant than ever with the de
claration Of war, not only to the
people Of North Dakota but to
the whole nation, for it made
possible unusual steps to pro-
mote war efficiency expressive
Of the patriotism Of the common
people. Other states have done
their bit il lOan subscription
Red Gross work and il sending

measures dictated by the best
thought of the twentieth century
on rural education are being car
ried out rapidly. State aid to
local schools was increased and
at the same time so given as to
spur the local school officials to
greater activity. Equally i'm
portant with the legislation was
the appointment of school ad-
ministrators with vision and
without attachment to the spec
ial interests.
General Measures Beneficial.
A modern highway commits
sion was established, road con-
struction standardized and fed
eral aid secured. The mining of
North Dakota Ignite was pushed
and railroads compelled to fur
nish side tracks and cars to all
mines alike. Railroad discrim-
ination against grain elevators
was made unlawful. The law of
foreclosure of land contracts was
made fairer to the mortgagor-
An inheritance tax law was en-
acted. A weighing and grading
law was put through which will
save the people hundreds Of
thousands of dollars annually
Women were given the suffrage
for all but state officers and the.
way for a constitutional amend
ment giving complete suffrage
was prepared.
No other state government has
ever done half so much in two
fears for the common people. In
addition to the splendid record
noted above, many bad laws
were repealed and the people
protected from further vicious
legislation which undoubtedly
would have been imposed had
not the farmers made their
great organized effort toward
democracy. Great as that ef-
fort was it has been repaid
many times in material benefits
and in the satisfaction which
the common people have had for
the first time in a generation in
taking their proper part in state
government according to the
principles Of American demo
cracy.

TRAIT0ROUS
PROPAGANDA
Disloyalty Charge is Character
lied as Being Traitorous-
Washington Says This is
Work in Aid of Enemy.
WESTERN FARMERS LOYAL
Committee on Public InfOrma-
ton, With Sanction of the
Federal Administration, So
States-Like Case of Italy.

Impatient with the business
and political elements of the
Northwest who are trying to
divide public sentiment during
war time, the Committee on Pub
lie information at Washington
bluntly tells them that the
charge against organized farm
ers is traitorous and is aiding
the enemy.
The committe praises the
farmers and criticizes the cam
paign of abuse that is being
made against them. The state
ment is written by Harvey
O'Higgins, associate chairman
of the committee on Public In
formation, which is evidence
that it goes to the country with
the full sanction of the Federal
administration. After speaking
plainly of the disloyalty of the
profiteers the statement contin-
ueS:
"Along with this campaign to
set the farmer against the gov
ernment's war measures, there
has been proceeding a twin cam
paign to arouse feeling against
him by accusing his western
farmers leagues of disloyalty.
This is equally a work in aid of
the enemy.
Western Farmers Patriotic.
"The western farmers have
contributed their quotas to en-
listments and to the draft as
loyalty as any citizens. They
have subscribed to the Liberty
loans, and contributed to the
war relief work with unfailing
patriotism. They have had their
quarrels with men whom they
suspected of exploiting them,
just as labor has had it's quarrels
with it's employers. But it is an
economic quarrel and as long as
it is conducted without interfer-
ing with the nations war work

Three Important Precautions.

The first aim Of the farmer
should be to prevent, if possible,
the introduction and distribution
Of destructive diseases on his
farm. In order to accomplish
this, several precautions should
be observed, Of which the more
important are (1) the disinfec-
tion Of seed, ~ the location and
care of the seed bed, and (8) crop
rotation.
