FARMERS AND THE RAILROADS.

New York Evening Sun: 1t is still
a common belief that the western
farmer is inclined to be something
of "a radical and to favor newfangled
or socialistic schemes; belief that
grows out of the old peoples party
and similar movements. But 1t is
evidently not so in Oregon, at least.
The farmers OF that state. through
their grange, have sent a vehement
protest to the congress against con-
tinuance OF government control OF
the railroads
Their resolution recites that the
rates on fourth class freight. which
includes live stock feeds and bulk
commodities bought and sold by the
farmers, have been increased 81 per
cent, while the rates on other classes
of freight have increased % per
cent. and that there has been no
betterment of train service that war
rants an advance of rates or justifies
the huge debt in which the people
have become involved and which
must ultimately be paid by their
taxes.
There's nothing like experience TO
teach a lesson, and the farmer is not
dull pupil in that hard school.

There is nothing in the world so
rare as sincerity. AS self interest is
the motive which actuates most people
in their relations with others. 1t is bet
ter promoted by the ingenious decept-
ion than by downright candor. So great
ie the vanity of mankind that it Is
easy to deceive even man Of the
world by f1attering him -artfllly. We
love to delude ourselves, and, there
fore, others have the opportunity Of
delivering us IL they can only find out
cur weak point Hamlet told Rosen.
crantz and Guildenstern that they
wanted to play upon him." to pluck
out the heart of his mystery" and to
sound him from his lowest note to
the top Of his compass" He defied
them to do this, but he showed him
self an entirely exceptional character
in not allowing himself to be played
upon.
7 1t was Hamlet too who used the
phrase, '"Tis as easy az lying, and
here the philosophic prince of Den
mark was mistaken, for nothing is
harder than to lie successfully.
But indeed the worst form OF false,
hood Is to be one self living lie.
There are men-I will not for the sake
of gallantry add that there are women
who are always ~acting a part.
They pretend to be what they are not.
They simulate sentiments which they
do not really entertain Though SCI
fish in the extreme, they profess pos
itively altruistic hIrmanitarianism-
They are time-servers. but they try to
make others believe that they despfse
expedieney and that they act only on
Principle. Such persons are best de-
scribed as .'shams'' or "hurabugs." And
yet they may be persons who have
never told a lie.''
But even when we wish to be gen
timely sincere, it is not so easy as the
thoughtless may suppose to carry out
the wish in practice. To say what we
mean and to make the person to whom
it is said fully grasp or meaning is
en- art which even the literary expert
may not have mastered. Conversation
may consist of either deliberate or I'M
Intentional deception. One reason
why it has become lost art is that
We are all in too great hurry to
talk, and that in the few minutes
we devote to talking we reveal only
the surface of our minds. Misunder-
standings under such circumstances
are natural, and we often misunder-
stand and misjudge those Who mean
to be absolutely sincere. THUS because
of the wild haste Of modern life the
tongue too often betrays the heart
Sometimes 1t seems better to re

say, and not to SPEAK at all rather than
say something which misrepresents
our true feelings, out wnich cannot|pe

AS TO MISUNDERSTANDING

recalled There is much to be said for
''the noble silent men" l am quoting
the sage, or, as his rcvilers might per-
hapS term him, the churl OF Chelsea
scattered here and there, each In his
own department silently thinking, ST.
lentIy worlSing, whom no newspaper
makes mention Of" Today we have
too many "soap-box orators" hat we
have too lew capable conversational
lists. Publicity and the exigencies Of
business have all but destroyed the
grand old ease Of intercourse OF by
gone days.
We have all from tiine to time ut
tered imprudent words--we have said
what we did not mean to say.
And yet we must speak. Is not the
aim OF life to express our own per
sonality. to unfold our being, to prove
to the world that we art individuals
and not noneriities? This at least Is
part OF LIES aim, If it be not the only
thing that we live for-tncre is a1s'
the higher plane in which life LIQUID
harm onize with some ideal of perfect
ion.
We all photograph, ourselves every
day by our very actions if there were
only spiritual camera to take a true
nfcture of each one of us. Even when
we do not utter 2 single word, those
with whom we live read our counte-
nances and divine our thoughts.
There are persons who have cultiva-
ted a false manner, a false fashion OF
speaking, a sort Of conyersat ional
diplomacy which might be called
Machiavellian If it were not too petty

big scheme of monarchic dissimuia-
ton. # diplomats must pose, they pose
in the interests o: nations. But the
man with the false manner POSES en-
tirely in his own interest.
Strange as 1t may seem to say SO,
few OF us understand even those with
whom we are most intimate. We ire
nrently misunderstood them. and such
deplorable MISUNDERSTANDING may at
times make US almost hate those whom
we love and who love us.
In the end the old are more truly SIM
cere than the young. They are nearing
the end of 1ife's journey and nave
ceased to deceive themselves. Disiiiu-
stoned and yet hopeful, they are TOO
sadly serious to ATTEMPT to deceleVe
others. Their gaze is concentrated on
the far horizon, and in the spirit o.
truth they calmly salute world 1ro!'l
which they must soon depart Ihere Is
no despair in these veterans as they
bid the survivors farewell, for they
know that sooner or later those they

CONSTITUTION AND LEAGUE.

There is disposition the part OF enthus

than any argument to show that the league OF
nations plan is contradictory to this nation s
constitution is simply ''buncomb;'' that it has
no warrant IN fact at all. This is not true; with
out here discussing the possible adjustment OF
apparent contradictions, it is possible to indi-
cate quite clearly that these exist.
The constitution declares that congress has
the right to raise and support armies-to pro
vide and maintain navy
The league proposal has the following: No
state shall be admitted to the league unless it
shall conform to such principles as
may be prescribed by the league in regard to its
naval and military forces and ornaments.
These two principles may possibly be inter
preted IN such manner as to be made to avoid
confliction, but no one can deny that contra
diction exists.
Our constitution declares that it is the pro-
vince of congress ''to make rules for the gov
Iernment and regulation of the land and naval
forces.''
The league proposal reads ut shall be the

HOW TO GET OUT?

There is provision sufficiently definite in the
league constitution to make plain the meohan-
les by which nation may enter It, But how
would nation, once In, get out, Ii 1t came to
a state of mind making this majority demand
of its citizens? What would be the process OF
withdrawal and what obligations would be ex-
pected of withdrawing nation! These ques-
tons are legitimate since President Wilson
SAYS 1t is easier to set up processes than to reach
agreements that will stand the test OF time. 1t
would be well than to set up a process by which
a nation in the league might get out of it. In
this connection thought occurs as to the Juris-
dictions of the league after it began operations.
Who would determine in specific cases what
these jurisdictions are and who would deter
mine whether the league was exceeding them?
Such questions would be quite likely to arise In
case a member of the league found itself so out
of sympathy as to desire to withdraw from
membership.
