idealism and earnestness were shown by the
fact that none of them proposed to insist upon

wiser and more practical method of pro-

to agree upon a feasible plan, was the proceed

their faith and sineeritysby subscriptions to the
preliminary expenses OF this commission, of
liberal character.
In times past we have had In Wheeling

Rucker Attacks Blanton in Scathing
House Speech.

Washington. D. c., July 25.-Rep-
resentative Rucker of Missouri struck
a responsive chord in the House to-
day when he made scathing attack
upon Representative 'Blanton of
Texas. bringing energetic applause
from both sides of the aisle. Ruck-
er's attack was entirely by innuendo,
the rules of the House forbidding
mention of members by name, but the
House we'll understood his illusions
to the young upstart."
Blanton, whose presence in prev
ious Congresses has been conspicu-
Gus by his silence, has recently at
tackled orgasized labor and filibus-
tered on each measure that did not
meet his approval.
Fuckers attack today came after
Blanton had forced at least four roll
calls on points of no quorum" in a
one-man filibuster againA small
bill appropriating $I32 for payment
to a mail carrier who had lost 40
days" service because of broken leg,
sustained while on duty. Rucker
charged the Texas Congressman with
lack of SENSE" Blanton attempt-
ed to reply, but the "boos" from the
entire. House membership drowned
his voice. M

Senator" Ford.

The State of Michigan, which. al
most sent Henry Ford to the United
States Senate, owes the country an
apology and we have no doubt that
the Wolverines feel that way, too,
since hearing the testimony in The
Tribune libel suit.
Imagine a member of the most
august deliberative body in the world
who is virtually an illiterate, who
confesses he knows nothing what
ever of history and cares less, who
has contempt for literature, art and
music, and whose sum total of
knowledge seems to be confined to
an ability to manufacture cheap att
tomobiles.
Can you read" asked the attor-
ney for The Tribune, after learning
from Ford that Benedict Arnold was
writer, that an idealist is one who
makes profit for others and that a
mobile army is an army about to be
modified.
Eyes," replied the witness. II can,
slowly"
In fact, he reads so slowly that he
has not, yet caught up with the av-
erage 12-year-old boy. What 12-
year-old boy of normal mind is there
in the country who does not know
who Benedict Arnold was? What
I2-year-old boy is there who. does
not know something of history?
Perhaps he reads slowly because of
his general contempt for learning.
And this is the man the voters of
Michigan nearly sent to the United
States Senate!
There is pending in Congress to-
day contest to unseat Truman
Newberry and seat Ford on the
ground that Newberry spent great
sums of money to be elected After
the Mount Clemens testimony, it is
not likely that the Senate will pro-
coed very far with the contest.
Admitting that Newberry was
elected by money, what brought
votes to Ford if not his possession
of money and the advertising he was
able to secure through it?',
The United States will be much
better off with Newberry in the Sem
ate. He is man of broad intelli-
gence and his general knowledge, es-
pecially his knowledge of the navy,
can be utilized. Ford can contribute
little but plans for making cheap au-
tomobiles cheaper, and that is not
a national problem.-St. Louis Re-
public.

Much Wheat Being Marketed.

The het,1 dry weather Of the past
two weeks has been ideal threshing
weather and the Bates county farmer
is taking advantage of every minute
of it to get the record breaking crop
on the market. Every machine in the
county is working over time although
considerable time is being lost by
frequent breakdowns caused by the
heavy tangled straw choking the
machines. A large part of the wheat
is being brought to town and sold as
fast as threshed. A conservative
estimate puts the number of bushels
put on the market at Butler up to
Wednesday night at $4,000. Prices
running all the way from $7.oo to
sara per bushel, depending on the
quality. :
A car shortage is imminent, sew
era1 days last week it being impos-
sible to get cars to move the day's
receipts and as more of the big crops
over the country is thrown on the
market this condition will become
more acute. County Farm Agent R.
A. Langenbaeher advises the farmers
to stack their wheat where il will be
safe to wait until the car shortage 10
over. Another argument in favor of
stacking ID that the wheat can better
wait for the thresher, that may be
some time coming, IL in the stack
than In the sbock, where 1t might be
damaged BY stormA.
