than he would had the price been
left as in the past? We have
noticed the custom in the past to
run the price down to almost
nothing when threshing time came,
and then when the spectators got
the wheat, up it went, but we have
never known wheat to sell as high
at threshng time. Several years
ago wheat started off around seven
ty cents. The price gradually went
up to around SO, but the most we
knew of the farmer getting was
something like a dollar. True, a
few were able to hold their wheat
five or six months and got in the
Spectator class, but the great ma
jority sold their wheat that year
for less than one dollar a bushel.
We are of the opinion that the
price of wheat should not be set
by the government unless the gov
eminent actually buys the wheat,
and in this politics are bound to
play a big part, but there should
be some way in which the price
might be set for the entire season.
If instead of the government set
ting the price and guaranteeing it,
the buyers could be compelled to
set the price in advance and pay
the same price all during the year
it would likely be more satisfac-
tory.
1t looks possible in view Of what
has been done. Let the buyers
themselves set the price, and set
it far enough in advance of seeding
time that if it would not be a pay
ing proposition for the farmer he
could plant some other crop. Then
the farmer would know what he was
going to get and could make his
arrangements accordingly. Under
the old system he could not do this.
The laboring man who came to
the harvest after paying the price
for flour made from SO wheat
naturally blamed the farmer and
based his claim for wages on that
price, when the farmer received less
than a third of the price. This made
it doubly hard on the farmer and
was fair to neither he nor the
laboring man.
Mr.. Tincher or Mr.. Capper might
get busy working out some such
plan. They have big majority OF
both houses of congress with them
and should be able to get favorable
action.

THEY MUST LOVE DEAR OLD
CHINA

After having dismally failed to
make good in their contentious re-
garding the League of Nations
covenant the little bunch of sena-
tors in a last hope of defeating
the measures attacted with great
vigor the proposal to put Shantung
under the care of Japan, and adopt
ed an amendment giving Shantung
to China.
Great tears of sympathy were
shed for poor China. Such treat
ment as was being meted out to
her was too much for the kindly
souls of the covenant killers, and
they decided against the representa-
tives of the civilized world that
Shantung must be given to China
instead of Japan.
Now the people should be wise
enough to know that love of China
or the sense of fair play was not
the motive for their actions.
The reason is plain. Japan came
near to boiling the conference over
the Shantung matter With Japan
out of the league and the mill.
taristic element secretely desiring
a clash with the United States, 9
strong prop would have been knock
ed from under the league. Their
there would have been nothing -tC
have hindered Japan from forming
an alliance with Germany anC
Russia and plundering all Europe.
The delegates realized this fact

THE WHEAT PRICE

We have been interviewing many
farmers the past few weeks re-
garding the government price for
wheat and find a great deal of
dissatisfaction. The majority con-
tend that the price is not high
enough, in view of the expense of
raising and harvesting it.
We have no way Of knowing what
it costs to produce bushel of
wheat, but we are willing to take
the word of the farmers that they
did not get enough.
But, laying aside that question,
did not the farmer receive more
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-08-28

and they stood out for all they
could get, persuading the japanese
delegates to modify their claims un-
til they were reasonable enough to
warrant their adoption.
But Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Borah
and the rest of the gang finding the
vital spot in the structure stuck their
knife into it. They learned this
at a conference with President
Wilson who went into detail in re-
gard to the covenant.
They learned that it would be
impossible to get japan into the
league unless Shantung was passed
under Japanese control. 1t was not
that these obstructionists were
friendly to China. Not, at all. They
want to pose before the American
people, for political reasons only,
as friendly to the plan; even IA
vorable, but they do not want it
to become a reality. So they adopt
an amendment that will put the
league of nations permanently out
of business. The president told
them Japan would never agree to
the amendment, and taking him at
his word they promptly passed it.
Every Democrat on the committee
voted against it as well as one Re-
publican. The vote put the leaders
of the Republican party on record
as against the covenant.
Now what will the result be?
Germany has been obligated to
the limit to pay the cost of war.
With no restraining power and the
friendship of Japan how long will
she comply with the peace terms?
Not a great while. The United
States already burdened with war
debts will have to 90 to work
building up an army and navy
capable of licking the balance OF
the world, compulsory military
training, just such a machine as
Germany has been building, If we
cannot agree to not fight we must
prepare to fight.
There can be no peace as long
as the terms are to be made by
men who are more friendly to war.
1t is about time we got rid of the
Kaisers in the United States senate.

Felix Janocha, Of Lyle, Massp
Whose Diary Tells Of String
Of TheftS, is Arrested By
Capt. Pat OlGrady.

Felix Janocha, II years old, of Lyle,
Mass, was arrested late last night by
Capt. Pat C'Grady as he came out of
a second hand store at oil South
First street. He had entered the store
by crawling through a rear window,
and when he came out he carried two
large revolvers, neither of which was
loaded, and a box of cartridges.
Captain OGrady had been informed
that Janocha attempted to break into
the Eastern bargain store, 213 South
First street "a few minutes earlier,
and hurried there from the station.
William Kieke who lives over his
store at 211 South First, made the re-
port. He had removed q pane of glass
from the back door, but was unable to
enter. The captain then saw the open
window of the second hand store and
waited. The youth appeared shortly
afterward and was placed under ar
rest.
Janocha, the police said, had n
diary which related numerous bur-
glaries, including sixteen stores at
Lyle, Mass, He was said to have
come here from Santa Fe, arriving
Thursday night. He wrote in the diary
on the eve of his departure from
Santa Fe that he was going to Albu
querque to go to work and stop this
crooked business" He added that If
he could not get work he would.

The Postal Telegraph company,

FLIPS FROM THE FILLUMS

val cattle baron of the old West, sug-
gested the Ratchet be buried and the
teud between Buell. and the Carston
family be ended. Cheyenne consented
and the men clasped hands on it.
When the wedding party came out of
the church next day a murderous vol
ley OF hidden rifles spurted, and
Cheyenne Harry was the sole survi-
vor of the dastardly attack by the
ruffians hired by Buell.. Cheyenne
swore to be revenged to the last man.
Two years later, aftcs< an absence in
the desert, he came back and nailed
a note in the town of Mesquite, con-
tanning the list of the men he was
sworn to kill. One by one he gave
them justice-the only justice they
deserved
Then the bitterest of revenge was
sweetened by the love of the girl who
came to Mesquite to teach school ami
eventually to marry the sheriff, one
of the men Cheyenne had sworn to
kill. The men met in the desert and
both were surrounded by hostile
Apaches on the warpath. The story
of how Cheyenne Harry fought the
redskins side by side the man he
thought to be the murderer OF his fam
lily and the man who was TO marry
the girl he loved is one of the many
incidents that have been used in MAX
ing Riders of Vengeance" film

The fidelity of the picture to the
period of the west it depicts is vouched
for by no other than ED Jones. a
cowpuncher of the old days, who
headed the list of the bevy OF the best
riders of the west which Buffalo Bill
gathered for his Wild West chow
