"Lord now lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace: for mine eyes have
seen thy salvation"
Thirty years ago in Kansas school
houses many a man now old or middle
aged spent hours debating over the
rule of privilege which we recognized
was intangibly enslaving US, and de-
humanizing the benefciaries of privi-
legged laws, the landlords, the railroad
kings, the packers and the lenders of
ours and other folks money. Our
chiefest inspiration was the keen,
simple analysis by Jerry Simpson of
taxation, of the ownership of natural
rights of way called railroads, Of mo-
nopoly, Of the enslavement of labor.
Those of us Farmers alliance mem
bers who have not lost the priceless
understanding those schoolhouse meet
ings gave us by contemplating the
treachery of our elected servants and
the weakness and prejudice of our
Populist party in less lean years than

then, are again singing with Simeon:
"For our eyes have seen the tiny be-
ginning of thy greater justice, thy
peace, of evolution to clearer under
standing-love-of thy natural laws"
Extravagant! Well, yes, to one who
has eyes seeing no further than din
ner, personal social position, bank and
securities account, the above is bosh.
But to the men who suffered without
reckoning for the creed of the Farm
ers' alliance and the Peoples party
here in Kansas, the news from North
Dakota feels as did the infant Mes
siah to Simeon. It is the tangible
approach of that greater justice for
which in the. late '80s and early ZOOS
they gladly sacrificed.
In North Dakota, elected public
servants passed laws to lessen and
weaken that blot on Gods earth, the
power of legal privilege. Elected pub
lie servants in North Dakota have
started to do the states new business
Of banking, milling, grain storing
and buying, and taxing more equi-
tably, by choosing men to manage,
first for competency and courage and
not first for party service and vote
controlling power. Then come the
benefciaries of privilege-injustice-
with money and subtle cajoling and
brutal power. They sue in the courts,
their usual weapon; they get referred
seven bills back to be voted on, be-
ieving money and clouds of intinida-
tion and sophistry will return them
their graft. But the supreme court
of North Dakota uses justice in place
of precedent, declaring that what the
people want it is their right to have
even if it is new. And better yet, the
people of North Dakota reafirm the
seven bills their servants enacted try
ing to do their will. To the real,
old-time Populist this is the sight of
goal: "For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation"
No, it is not perfect, it is human.
No, it is not quitting time, for privi-
lege never dies, though now badly de-
feated. But that lover of justice who
does not hail with unspoken psalm
this clear but tiny star in North Da-
kota leading upward, neglects one
source of strength to go on and see
clearer and do and vote more wisely
and bravely. If we who love justice
keep on sticking" this tiny star shall
grow to light the world.

wool profiteering, announcement
comes from the department of agri-
culture that farmers are receiving
checks from the collection Of excess
wool profits. '..
However, the department of agri-
culture declares that ''excess profits
were made by about 10 per cent of the
country dealers"
Mr.. Campbell's statement shows
that not only the local or country
dealers profited hugely and almost
universally in the government wool
buying deal, but that the wholesale
wool dealers, who were named for the
wool division of the war industries
board, made profits Of 100 to 200 per
cent. Mr.. Campbell told how, by a
change in the designation of the prod
uct, these dealers added 65 cents to
$1.25 to the price of wool between the
farmer and the government.
However, the department of agri-
culture is seeking to make partial
restitution and is charging the local
agents or country dealers with the ex-
cess profits. The statement of the
department follows:
"Collection of excess profits from
wool dealers is proceeding, and their
distribution to wool growers will be-
gin in the near future. This an
nouncement is made by the United
States department of agriculture,
which is completing the work of the
domestic wool section of the war in
dustries board, in accordance with a
provision of the agricultural appro-
priation bill.
reports thus far received show
that excess profits were made by
about 10 per cent of the country
dealers. Correspondence with dis
tributing center dealers, whose total
reports are not yet completed, indi-
cate that some of them have accumu-
lated substantial amounts of excess
profits on the wool which they actual
ly bought. Auditing of the accounts
of the larger dealers is considerable
task and will require several months.
The bureau of markets, which acts for
the department Of agriculture in this
work, will inclose with each check
sent to grower circular letter CIV
ing the name of the firm which han
died his wool and which has returned
the excess profits, of which the GUS
toner is receiving his share.
"The department calls attention to
the fact that the regulations of the

in blank verse, in psalm. Every
Sunday in the Roman cathedrals and
churches, in the Episcopalian cathe-
drals and churches, and in many of
the Protestant churches in every land
on earth this thanksgiving psalm of
Simeon's is sung to Gregory's simple,
impressive chant, and never fails to
fill the thinking soul with deep feeling.
Those simple words convey the relief
of really devout soul as it saw the
tiny beginning of the end of the in
solent atheistic rule of Roman might
on the one hand, and of the hypo-
critical, lip-serving, privilege-ridden
synagogue of his day on the other.
They are so simply great, those words:

Excess Wool Profits Being Refunded :

war industries board did not permit
the purchase of wool in the great
wool-growing states of the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast region ex-
cept in the case of clips of less than
1000 pounds each. All larger clips
were required to be consigned. This
region produces about two-thirds of
the entire wool clip of the country,
which was about 257,OOO,OO0 pounds
in 1918. Growers in the eastern
states were urged to pool and con-
sign their wools, and many of them
did so. Since the government paid
the dealers fixed commission on con-
signed wool, excess profits could be
made only on that part of the wool
which they bought outright. There
fore, growers who consigned their
clips should not expect to receive re-
funds.
"Since the government control of
wool has ceased, the work of the de-
partment of agriculture in this con-
nection consists only of auditing the
records and accounts of approved wool
dealers, the collection of any profits
which they may have made in excess
of those permitted under the regula-
tions of the war industries board, and
the distribution by the department of
agriculture of these profits directly to
the growers upon whose wool the
profits were made wherever the iden-
tity of the wool can be traced.
permits to about $500 country deal
ers authorizing them to buy wool di-
rectly from the grower. Permits
were also issued to 179 distributing
center dealers who had facilities for
handling wool in large quantities and
most of whom were located on the
eastern seaboard near the centers of
wool manufacture. These larger deal
ers were required to handle wool on
consignment from either growers or
country dealers and were also permit
ted to buy from country dealers di-
rect, or from growers through their
agents. ;
"Blank forms calling for a detailed
accounting have been sent by the de-
partment to both classes Of dealers.
Reports have been received from
about 5000 of the country dealers and
about one=half of the dealers in dis
tributing centers.. The taking over of
the wool by the war department was
completed so recently that many Of
the larger dealers have been unable
to prepare their reports at an earlier
date. The auditing of these reports
is proceeding as rapidly as it can be
done with the limited force available
for assignment to this work, the de-
partment says"

by Commissioners Ure, Towl and
Falconer in the adoption of reso-
luton directed against the judge.
The resolution charges that Judge
Holmes, while serving as acting po-
lice Judge June Is. destroyed a COM
plant against Frank Maloney,
charged with unlawful possession OF
intoxicating liquors, in the face of
Maloney's admission of guilt. The
resolution provides that the alleged
offense be brought to the attention
of Governor McKe.vie.
Attack Upon Judge.
This action by the police commits
sioner is obviously and palpably an
attack against Judge Holmes, who
recently dismissed charges against
Mrs. Thomas Brown, whose home
was violated by Detectives Herdzina
ant Armstrong. On that occasion
the judge, serving as acting police
judge, heard II witnesses for the
prosecution and then dismissed the
disorderly house charge without re-
curing the deferse to offer evil
dence. In giving his decision on the
Brown case, the judge\rebuked the
methods OF the police department
and cited the TACT that one Of the
elemental principles of the law is
that every mans home is his castle,
ard that it should not be violated
except by due process of law.
Holmes Not Perturbed
Judge Holmes was not in the least
perturbed when informed of the ac-
ton of Mr.. Ringer, supported by
three other members of the city
council.
There is absolutely nothing to
the charge. l will have to look up
the records before I can make a posi-
tive statement as to just what tran
spired, but my recollection at this
time is that the complaint against
Maloney was dismissed at the in
stance of City Prosecutor Thomas
Murray, who asked if it would be all
right with me if the case should be
dismissed and he gave me to under
stand that he had friendly interest
in the matter. | was told that Ma
loney was returned soldier and had
bought a bottle of what was sup
posed to have been whisky. but the
arresting officer, who was standing
at the side of Murray at the time,
stated that after the arrest it was
learned that the bottle contained
tea, and that the soldier had been
upon by the person pre-
tended to have sold him whisky"

his work, for the first time in my
experience. He wouldn't answer

looked like going all to pieces over
there. I supposed that this anxiety
of his, whatever it was, had got onto
his nerves till they were worn out.
