pressmen, feeders and some of the
printers in the New York print shops
which handle most Of our weekly and
monthly magazines will force the
magazines to abandon New York as
a home. The strike already has made
the publication of several leading
magazines an impossibility in time for
the next edition. Several editions
may not be published if the strike
keeps up. The strike is unauthorized
and, according to international Off
GERS Of the union to which the men
belong, it is due to bolshevism in
the ranks of the workers. The strik-
ers not only have told their employers
to shift for themselves. They prac-
tically have told their union officials
to keep their hands off.
The magazines Of this country, we
believe, are willing, more than will
ing to treat with the labor they en-
ploy through the heads of these labor
organizations. They cannot permit
themselves to be subjected eternally
to local walkouts One walkout which
delays an issue means thousands Of
dollars loss to these publishers. They
are talking about moving their maya
zines to other cities. 1t is to be
hoped they will. Too many of our
publications come from New York.
They are more eastern and proyin-
cially New Yorkish than they are
representative of the whole country.
There is no reason why they should
be printed in New York. Most of our
authors live elsewhere. The leading
men in the field of literature are
from states other than New York.
They come from Illinois, Kentucky,
the great west and the south.
A leading American magazine
would do just as we'll if published in
Chicago as it would if published in
New York. Perhaps better, for in
Chicago, those who operate it would
be in closer touch with the heart of
the country they are supposed to
serve.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

We have said it before and say 1T
again: In order to pay the labor
that produces it and the capital in
vested in it anything like the same
returns that labor and capital else
where get, this years disastrouly
short crop of cotton should bring 40
cents a pound. We wish we could say
it will bring 40 cents, but we can at
least say that there are just four
reasons why prices are not now
mounting toward that figure:
First, the reduced consumption OF
American mills, owing, it is said, to
labor troubles.
Second, the delay in ratifying. the
peace treaty and putting work back
on a peace basis.
Third, the unsettled conditions in
the financial world, resulting in the
English pound, normally worth $4.S6
2-3 in America, now being worth
only $4.35. This means that any
purchase in America now costs an
English buyer 10 IL per cent pre-
MUM for exchange on money. Th2
peace treaty matter, however, will
soon be settled; labor troubles seem
in process of adjustment with regard
to English money will soon adjust
itself.
The fourth reason why cotton
prices are not climbing toward 40
cents, however, is most important Of
all. This reason is simply the be-
lief that the farmers will let the crop
go for less. No we'll organized union
of town laborers would submit to
any less remunerative prices for their
labor, however; and why should the
farmers? If he goes on strike, he
can hold out longer than the city
wage Garner, and why should he not
in a peaceful and legal way refuse to
take less than a fair price for the
product of his toll?
In view of the reduced acreage this
year, good crop Of cotton should
have brought 33 to IS cents pound
| With disasterously poor crop such
as we have, a Accent price means
only a living wage for the producer;
and he, like the city laborer, woes il
to his family and those dependent or
him to demand this living wage.-The
Progressive Farmer.

WHY SHOULDN'T THEY.

The story of the Confederate par
ade from Atlanta refers somewhat
Significantly to the fact that United
States army regulars in the line of
march saluted the Confederate colors
as they passed by.
And why shouldn't any soldier be
glad to salute the Confederate colors.
If the salute is, as it is supposed to
be, mark of respect for the flag and
for the men that fought for it, no
soldiers could salute a flag that
stands for more. Perhaps no army

LODGE VERSUS LODGE.

Nobody could have been more
scandalized by proposal to amend
or reject treaty of peace than was
Henry Cabot Lodge in 1899, says the
New York World.
At that time Senator Lodges re
publican colleague from Massachu
sets was opposed to the treaty o.
peace with Spain which President
Mckinley had negotiated, and man,
democrats were against it because O.
the acquisition of the Philippines
There was the possibility that min
ority of the senate would prevent thu
ratification of the treaty, and Sena
tor Lodge was appalled, at the posi-
bility that the treaty might be re
jected
Eve must either ratify the treat!
or reject it," he said. Suppose WI
reject the treaty, what follows? 2
This was his answer:
Let us look at it practically.
We continue the state of war, and
every sensible man in the coun-
try, every buciness interest, de-
sires the re-establishment of
peace in law as we'll as in fact.
At the same time we repudiate
the president and his action be-
fore the whole world, and the re-
pudiation of the president in
such a matter as this is, to my
mind, the humiliation of the
United States in the eyes of civil
lied mankind and brands US as a
people incapable of great affairs
8 or of taking rank where we be-
long as one Of the greatest Of
the great world powers.
This. is what Henry Cabot Lodg
thought on Jan. "a, 1899, about tn
kind of politics that Henry Cabo
= Lodge is playing with treaty o
peace in October, 1919.
To continue:
The president cannot be sent
back across the Atlantic in the
person of his commissioners, hat
in hand, to say to Spain with
hated breath, 81 am here in obed-
fence to the mandate of a minor
ity Of one-third of the senate to
tell you that we have been too
victorious, and that you have
yielded us too much and that l
am very sorry l took the Philip
pines from you" I do not think
any American president would do
that or that any American would
wish him to-
But that is exactly what Senator
Lodge demands of President Wilson
He insists that the treaty must be s.
amended that it will be sent back t,
the peace congress, which means tina
it must be sent back to Germany ant
that the president must be sent bacl
across the Atlantic hat in hand ant
ask Germany if it will make peac,
in accordance with the mandate of tn
minority of one-third of the senate.
There was much said in the cours
OF the senate debate in 1899 abou
the Declaration of Independence an
Washington's farewell address AM
constitution of the United States i
relations to the treaty. This is no,
Senator Lodge answered the Lodges
the Borahs and the Johnsons of 2
years ago:
I am sure, Mr.. President, that
there is no senator upon this
floor, no matter what his views
on this question may be, who
would not cut off his hand sooner
than be false to the principles of
the Declaration of Independence an
to the great tradition and ideals
of American history. + + + No
body loves better than the ideals
set forth in the Declaration of
Independence, but my ideals do
not stop there. Nor do they stop

DEEP SNOW FALLS
NEAR WINONA
Mrs. George W. McCready Sends
Newspaper Clipping Telling of
Big Precipitation

Mrs. George w. McCready of Bara-
boo sends a newspaper clipping from
Winona telling of the big fall of snow
near there last week. The item says:
Winonans have no idea, from the
local situation, of the amount of snow
which fell on the ridge during the past
few days, but if they attempt to make
trips into the country on the ridge
they will find an unpleasant expert
ence awaiting them, declare country
people coming into the city.
After waiting a couple of days for
an opportunity to get to Winona to at
tend the Masonic reunion William
Goss of Ridgeway got through in time
for the Maunty Thursday banquet
Thursday evening, but the trip was
one attended with considerable diff
Guilty. Mr.. Goss came through with a
difficulty was encountered in getting
from his farmhouse to the macadam
road from Winona which passes
through Ridgeway. Mr. Goss had his
son Homer, with a heavy team Of
work horses attached to a wagon, go
before his to break the way to the
Ridgeway road, and followed slowly
in the rear of this outfit. More or less
difficulty was recorded with drifts aft
er getting to the regular road. Mr..
Goss says there is more snow on the
ridge now than at any time during the
winter.
C. A Anderson, who was in from
his home near Ridgeway. measured
the snow in a drift near his home so
he might make no exaggeration stat
ing facts. The measure went down
until exactly A inches were covered
by the snow. In the valley here the
snow to a large extent melted as it
fell
The report comes from Lewiston
that the snow there is six inches deep
on the level, the heaviest snowfall re-
corded on such late date in April for
many years.
Farmers generally are cheerful and
do not believe the storm will retard
seeding more than week or two and
this handicap it is thought, will be
made up curing the growing season.
The snow is said to be beneficial to
crops of winter wheat, and this year,
due to the government guarantee of

Benjamin Simonds

Benjamin Simonds was born August
81, 1885, in Chautauqua county, N. T.,
coming to Wisconsin, with his parents,
when but seven years old. He re-
ceived his education in the schools or
Sank county and began teaching in
early manhood. Many who are now
middle-aged residents Of Greenfield
and Fairfield were started along the
road of the three "r's" under the able
instructions of Mr.. Simonds; though
never a strict disciplinarian, he won
interest and obedience by his unfaillng
kindness and interesting methods. He
was at one time town uperintendent,
field many years.
He was united in marriage to Helen
E. Tomkins on November 26, 1853, at
Racine, Wis. Two daughters, Minnie
and Mable, came to bless their home.
Becoming interested in agriculture, he
purchased a farm, and for many years
conducted dairy farm, retiring only
when failing health obliged him to
make the change.
Mr.. Simonds was a keen lover Of
nature, quick to see and appreciate the
changes in plant life throughout the
seasons. Like Robert Burns, he wrote
many delightful little bit as he dis
covered some dainty tri1e of woodland
or roadside beauty. For many years
Mr.. Simonds was greatly interested in
the then unknown airShip. He wrote
many articles on the subject of flying
through the air before the public had
any idea that such an achievement
was possible. He lived long enough
to see the seemingly impossible an
accomplished fact.
Mr.. S monds, or Uncle Benz, as he
was lovingly called by his friends, pos
sessed a kind, child-like disposition
which endeared him to all. He had
resided with his daughter, Mrs. Chas.
Varnell since the death Of his wife
seven yeas ago. He lived quietly, en-
joying the society of his friends and
deriving great pleasure from contrib
uting articles to the local papers,
which were greatly enjoyed by his
friends.
He faded away as does flower, and
as the last petal falls, so he dropped
asleep, leaving to his descendants a
rich legacy in the memory Of life
made up of all that stood for the beau
tiful and true.
