Barnes Mind has Dark Side
Civil or Military Authority
Silk Hat Mobs on May 1
Press Loses Leadership
Farmers Solve Kept Press
Evil

"What interest have the producers
of wheat in my WORK since they will
get the $2.26 price guaranteed to
them by law" asks julius Barnes
head of the government grain cor
poration in a letter to the National
Grange. Who else has so good a
right to be interested?
What does this dark side of Mr..
Barnes vision mean except that the
grain corporation is going to keep
wheat down to the minimum price
even if the market here and abroad
calls for a much higher price? The
minimum price guaranteed by con-
gress is by law intended to be mere
ly- a price below which wheat shall
not go. 1t is protection to a very
speculative farm activity in the in
terest of the nations food supply
and not an adequate return for the
farmer:
If the fixed price was low in Sep
tember, 1917, what can we say of it
for 1918 and now for 1919 if the
government makes its minimum also
the maximum? All prices of things
the farmer musts buy have gone up
in these two yeats. Even if fair in
1917 it is unfair now.
Not only the wheat farmers but
the towns in which they trade are
greatly interested in seeing that the
farmers get the market price and
not a minimum price below the mar
ket.

NAVY DIRICIBLE AND air.
PLANE TO BRAVE OCEAN

Halifax, N. F., May 15.-The NC-4
arrived here this afternoon. A
wireless from the NC-4 received
early this afternoon, said the sea-
plane would stop at Halifax for a
few minutes before proceeding on to
Trepassey. The big seaplane, com

Washington, May 1.-two Ameri-

Every real American must be
panied to read of clashes between
men of the army and navy and the
New York police. And he has cause
for alarm, too, when he considers the
reasons for it. The policemen were
defending entirely lawful and order
ly meetings of working people
against mob attacks. Why were the
sons of other workingmen and OF
farmers in these disorderly mobs
which would take from citizens their
constitutions rights
Because the Wall street highbind-
ers have been working on these toe
trusting young men with stories
about Bolsheviki, seditionists, foes
of the flag and other names by
which laboring men are now dubbed
by the reactionary press. Add to
this lying propaganda which might
lead these young men to believe that
America was being attacked. by very
bad people, the natural. tendency OF
young men away from home to like
mix-up, and we have the explana.
tion of the New York riots.
But more than the Wall street in
terests are responsible. These mobs
could hardly have been formed with
out the sympathy and the encour-
agement of the higher officers whose
duty it is to see that the military
forces keep to their proper places in
orderly society.

The farmers of the Northwest, by
the way, are solving this kept press
problem for the first time in history
by directly owning their local paper
or by, supporting really independent
editors. These, with the two -four
ishing farmer-owned dailies in Far
go and Grand Forks, make thous-
ands of farmers and working people
entirely independent of the kept
press. This cutting off of the kept
press subscriptions, with a full SER
vice Independent press, is the real
solution. And the people of Min
nesota are going to have a big, full
service daily paper before the crops
are harvested.

THE WIDENING BREACH

T HE ACTION of the aldermen beating measure creat-

 The bill creating Port of Bridgeport is fahered by the Chamber of Commerce. Il raises commission of nine per sons leading fnancers, manufacturers business The heads the commission and is the only politician strictly such, included in the personnel.
 Without knowing the facts there is presumption that Mayor Wilson added the commission sup posed political influence But this influence will stronger abroad than it at home make the profit able for the bill.
