WHERE FARMERs STAND.

! In view of the agitations among
 the farmers by the I. W. w. the eff ! forts to launch a farmers party in the | northwest and the desire to have the 1 farmers organize and affiliate with Ia- bor organizations, it Is Interesting to | note the attitude that has been taken by the Farmers National congress held in Maryland this week with an attendance of 1900 delegates in the adoption of resolutions dealing with
 the prevailing conditions in the coun-
 try today.
 Pledeing support to the president and the government agencies in the orderly conduct of national affairs and in the fearless administration of na- tional laws this resolution was passed:
 ''We believe that the present crisis calls for calm. sane and deliberate ac- tion from all citizens, without regard to class occupation. We believe that the conservatism of the American farmer should continue to be on guard to prevent the development and spread of radical theories and the tendency of certain elements to vitiate the funda- mental principles of American insti- tutions, for which untold treasure has been spent and the sacred blood of Americas sons has been sacrificed"
 That doesn't have any ring of radi- caIism. That doesn't indicate that the agriculturalists are going to join hands with any element that threatens ma tiona1 security but it does show. if we can judge by the sentiment of that convention. that the farmers are go- ing to be found. right where they all ways have been, among the staunch- est supporters of the country. justice the maintenance of law and order and Americanism.
 It is quite natural that they. like other people. are crying loudly for the elimination of the profteer and waste but when it comes to getting them back of a lot of dangerous doctrines they can be relied upon to resist them to the limit.

THE AIRPLANE CHARACTERIZATION

The action in rejecting the appro- priation of Si5.0O0.p00 sought for the building of fighting airplanes will in terfere with the plans that had been made for using that amount of money fin thaS direction. at this time. It can hardly be said that a blow has been struck .at the future of the air service in this country.
 Rather does it indicate that while we are endeavoring to keep down ap- propriations. reduce taxes and bring down the cost of living the opportu- nity of eliminating this big item, or delaying it at least, could not be over looked It is well to remember that at the present time all is up in the air relative to the policy of the coun- try regarding aeronautics. Just now the army and navy are looking af- ter their own flying machine depart ments. but Assistant Secretary Crow ell of the war department is urging the establishment of q separate de- partment of aeronautics and quotes Foch, Haig and Ludendorff as agree ing that the launching of a campai ign with land and sea forces by any na- tion depends upon it's ability to clear the air of the enen1y's forces
 As to the importance of the air planes in war there can be no ques- tion- They have been important fac tors and are bound to be more so, but at the present time there is an ap- propriation of sz5.o00, 900 being used and the S15.00G .000 was to be in ad- dition to that for developing new ma chimes and Improving types already possessed Until. however. il is defi- niteiy determined what the future pol icy is going to be. and that ought not to be long delayed. it is probable that the country will suffer no i'll effects from the withholding Of the additional appropriation. Possibly it will bring about wiser expenditure of the one already available.

REDUCE THE MENACE.

From Cleveland comes the latest re- port of revelations surrounding the uncoverfng of another anarchistic bomb plot which was intended to ter rorize the country during the winter. Some time ago it was indicated that some progress was being made toward the capture of certain ones who were involved in the sending of death dealing explosives through the mail to prominent individuals throughout the country. This latest affair. however. appears to have been nipped in the bud since arrests have already been made and several held for trial.
 None too drastic action can be taken in dealing with such individuals as are willing to take life and destroy property in this manner. yet it seems as if encouragement was being lent to such activities by the failure to prop erly deal with those involved in such affairs.
 E What seems to be needed here Is the detern1ination to let those who are in = clined to such radical practices that there is no place in this country for them. What is needed is wholesale e deportation of a small array of trouble makers who are ready to do anything in support of anarchistic principles. Where there are a few cases of de- portation there should be many. There is a disposition to show to much le- niencyss to those. who have absolutely no respect forsathe country in which they live or the government that ex- ists. Their. whole purpose is to de- stroy and it is most unfortunate that so much time is required in getting certain of the leaders started on their trip back across the ocean, There is every reason to believe that sufficient laws prevail for dealing with these people if they are but sanely employ ed and greater respect paid to national interests than. to those who have sno regard whatever for laws or country. The reduction in the number of these people would relieve the menace here.

eloping couples, but authority is lack ing for the stories of smithies who would pause while shoeing horses to help legalize marriages. Many famous Englishmen were married at Cfctna Green, among them Lord Eldon and Lord Brougham, both of whom later became Lord Chancell1> . and Lord Erskine. while he <ns chancellor; ward was archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord Westmoreland and Miss Child, the latter daughter of the man who founded Child's bank.
 During the three decades when Gretna Green fiourished. there were more than 1000 marriages recorded there nearly 800 of which were per formed in 1855 the year before Scot land enacted a law which made a three weeks residence requisite to marriage.
 Marriage by decfarat> still is le- gal in Scotland. and it is interesting to note that our own marriage laws devil ate from the English common law in respect to marriage, and the provis- ions of most states follow more close ly the Scotch law in this respect As in Scotland, every state has made some provision for previous residence, obtaining a license. or registration, but there is the widest leeway permit ted for the form of the actual cere- mony.
 "Only seven years ago publicity was given the marriage of two young peo- pie at Cambridge, Mass. who wrote their own marriage service and had 1t repeated to them by a justice of the peace, whereupon that official pro nounced them man and wife thus, Since you wish to unite in marriage, and have notified each other of the same before me and these witnesses, ed in me, pronounce you man and wife,"

THE GIRL WHO LIVES AT HOME

thinks dear Eleanor is so much more clever at it than she is. So she gets off and takes maps or visits the neigh- .fhen it simply wasn't possible for us to go away anywhere. by ourselves Every time we planned trip into town or a picnic or anything some oi the family wolldl decide to come alos and make Eleanor chauff for them while they did a lot of errands. Once WheHsI suggested that we take a walk in the woods Eleanor's sister heard of 1t and suggested that we take her little daughter because 'Tootsie just loved to walk with Aunt Eleanor
 Eleanor doesn't have a chance to have any callers. I'm perfectly. cer- tain that all the family realize she is good thing and have formed con- spiracys to keep her from marrying and leaving them. One night Arthur War ren did come over, but there were so many nieces and nephews and things around that the poor fellow did not have "a chance. and Eleanor's pretty the stime.
 Then Eleanor's father doesn't give her any regular allowance, and when she wants anythig he gives it to her with the air of being so indulgent and generous. They all seem to think that she is the most fortunate girl in the world to have such kind parents and to be allowed to work like a slave with no thanks and never a minute to herself and that she ought to be glad of the chance.
 Tt just made me boil Why, when l think how much she could earn and have for herself if she worked half as hard at regular job. well suppose we all have our troubles. I'm sure Eleanor has, only she doesn't realize it because they keep telling her how lucky she is. But I know one thing and that is that I'm never again going to envy girl who lives at home with her parents and doesn't have her time and money for her own. They may be like Eleanor, but it's pretty safe to guess there's something in their ySung lives makes them no bet ter off than am. Every one has her troubles. Let's have another soda"- Exchange.

STORIES OF THE WAR Fate Endaraering Northern Russia.
By The. Associated Press.)


 A distressing picture of the fate awaiting the population of northern Russia at the hands of the bolsheviki once all allied troops are withdrawn, is painted by the delegation from the municipal and zemstovo organizations of the Archangel district now in En- gland.
 ''The northern territory has done all it can." said P. Mamontoff, who heads the delegation, ito form it's own army, but in spite of straining every nerve, we have not the military force to ensure our safety. To leave the territory at such a time. without as- sistance, means that the allies would be giving over the defenders of the territory. together with all It's dernoc- racy, to fire and sword. As soon as we lose the allied support. the Bolshe- wiki will bring up endorsements for strong offensive and we shall be crushed.
 ''The Bolsheviki are well aware that we have supplies of foodstuffs which they are vitally i1f need of. We. nave had good harvest for the peasants starved themselves to SOW their fields, using garden grain for seed that they needed for food. They will not sur render their dearly-won harvest with out a struggle and that means mas- sacre of the resisting peasants by the Bolsheviki. .,,
 '.Doubtless half of the peasantry will be wiped out. All of political op- ponents of Bolshevisu ill be destroy ed. along with their women and chli- dren That is why we have come to England to make this last appeal to the people of this country and to those of our other allies not to desert us m this hour of our desperate need.
 One effect of the withdrawal will be, according to the delegation. the total alienation of the Northern Russians from the allies.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Jews Have Done For America.

What Jews Have Done For America.
 MT. Editor: What have. the Jews done for America?- ? In the time of the Revolution three members of Wash Franks and Nones and Major Noah, A Jew gave Washington $658.00o to carry on the war and he never asked to have dollar returned. In our Civil war the Jews were a great help, and in the Spanish American war were many Jews. Some of them were with Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
 In 1854 they first came to Amer ica and on April 25, 1865. they were given the legal right to make it their country. Now, when eighteen mill lion boys and girls stand up in our public schools and say: .I pledge public for which it stands" three hua- dred thousand of these little patriots are Jews. In twenty-eight of our pub lie schools in New York city were found e4.6o5 children. and of these 61, ,105 were Jews.
 The Jewish children honor their parents. In the poor houses in your Jewish father or mother They. are treated like a king and queen when they grow old and feeble.
 A Tow in New York organized the pure milk supply for babies. which reduced the death rate among little children from ninety-six to sixty three in every thousand. --~s
 Few of us know, perhaps that a Jew gave the money to Columbus to make his discovery possible. This was Luis de Sanlangel. A Jew also drew the maps which Columbus ulB. One of his officers was a Jew b was his doctor and also his interpreter The latter was the first to set foot on American soil.

Before this" began the girl who was having her two weeks vacation I've always rather envied girls who stayed at home with their families and didn't have to work But I don't any more. I've just been spending a few
 days at Eleanor's."
 "Eleanors? echoed the girl who

 she's to be envied if anyone is... A beautiful home like that and an ador-
 ing family-come on in here and have a soda
 "Yes," the poor working girl con-
 tinued after they were settled over the sodas "Eleanor's family is ador-
 ing, all right. They adore her so much that they don't want her out of their sight for minute unless she's busy doing something for them It seems that she can run the car bet ter than her father can, so she has to get up early every morning and take him to his office. Then he doesn't like the street cars. so she has tp call for him every afternoon at 4: 30- There's no time for bridge parties or matinees for Eleanor. And all the time they call it 'Eleanor's car and talk about what a lucky girl she is to have it.
 Then Mrs. Brown declares that since Eleanor sews so much more beautifully than she does there's no sense in her doing thing, so Eleanor has to do all the mending and make part of her mothers clothes. But that is't the worst You know she has a. married brother and sister, and they simply think Aunt Eleanor. was made to look after their children. Why the first morning I was there her sister called up and wanted Eleanor to come over and stay with the children while she went shopping, and Eleanor had to give up the idea of playing golf with me

ireiand's Turn Now.

MT. Editor: As 3 native of Ulster, but a friend of Irish freedom, I ask space in your valuable paper to- prove to MT. Ringland and Plain Facts that the land of the O'Neils and the O'Donnells the Orris and the Me- Crackins, is a part, and an integral part of the Emeral Isle. Rr. Ringland says Ireland is demanding not. equal ity, but demipation over Ulster, a dis tinct race. Now let us see what js Ulster, and who is this distinct race over whom the Irish want to domin- ate? Ulster is the northern province of Ireland. consisting or nine coun- ties, Donegal Derry Antrim, Down. Armagh, Monaghan, Tyrone, Ferma- = mesh and Cavan.
 In 1907 James I of England con- iscated six counties of Ulster and drove the Irish inhabitants therefrom and parceIed aout the land to Scotch and English colonists known in the records of the transaction by the omin- ous title of "Undertakers. This f1agi- tious piece of land piracy and robbery and extermination is knewn in his tory as the plantation of Ulster. The imported tenants. were obliged to Irish Catholic" or let them come near then," but the real Irish came back and today out of a total population in the province of Ulster of 1,500, ,696, assumed that the Catholics alone are in favor of a free Ireland, for many thousands of Protestants are not only nationalists, but Sim Fein. The names of Wolf Tone. Henry Joe McCrack- en and Roger Basement, all Ulster, Protestants, are enshrined in the hearts of all Irishmen.
 "P1ain Facts" states that Ulster re- mained loyal to the allied cause. and volunteerd 80 per cent. of the Irish troops and but few volunteers came from the rest of Ireland. We'll let US see what the official (English) reports say. According to sLorn Wimbone's report to Lord Kitchener of January A. 1916. there were 51.046 Irishmen serving as regulars and reseExists in cording to Sir Eric Geddes, in. the house of commons, there were up to 1918. 17o,oo0 enlistments in Ireland. According to the qstatment of T.. P. O. vey of conditions there, weref.o over 35.- 900 Irish boys Etemporari7ylee eemployed away from home who enlisted in Eng fish and Scotch regiments, in 1914-15. there were 8.546 Irishmen in the Eng fish navy. < Tn 1918 there werey. over 1000 enlistmentss fn ireland and vae- cording to most conservative esti- mate of the naval reseryists, and naval enlistments later the number is put at 4,oo0,, making. a total of 2z5, ,5e2 Irish men fighting in the English army and navy during the war. T ,251 of the eniistments are credited ta the prov ince of Ulster. far from 80 per cent.
 Irish enlistments exceeded the yolun- teers of any other land. Proportion ately they represent an army Of IT, 100000 Americans.
 No one can seriously make the pro position that the Irish were slackers in the late war. except one whose na- tienal vision is distorted by an impe- rtaf monocfe

ring the war. It is proper that this Aprotection should be given them against the Turks, but it is gratifying to learn that the British in their de- termination to withdraw their forces from Asia Minor have arranged with the French and the Arzbs to assume the duties of occupation until the peace treaty Is arranged. That it is to be hoped insures every degree of pro- tection that the persecuted people of that region are entitled to.
