The oklahoma Farmers union in
resolutions adopted at a recent meet
ing put forward this propositions: III
congress in it's wisdom see fit to give
these railroad men their demands. we
ask that congress shall also buy all OF
the farms in the United States. with
their equipment. and employ all OF the
farmers 10 operate them, paying to the
farmers a wage equal to two-thirds of
the hourly wage that the average rail-
way employe receives; and then sell
all farm products to the consumer at
cost" This proposal of the farmers
seems to he altogether fair and just.
Probably workers in other branches
OF Industry will be heard from in this
connection. The farmers not only are
willing to work for less than the wages
paid railway employees but ask no
share, in the profits.

THE GREAT FREE FAIR.

The Great Free Fair for 1919 has
closed.
It was a tremendous success-finan-
oially. educationally and from the
standpoint Of clean entertainment.
The records for atten anee were
broken. More than $4,000 persons
from Kansas and nelshboring states
visited the grounds.
What does It all mean?
Il means that the Free Fair. as in
stituted in Topeka. is an institution
that must live-and will live. It
means that Kansans appreciate the
effort made by their state in ripping
the gates from the hinges and throw
ing a mammoth exposition open to
the public without entrance charges.
It .deans that the Free Fair is an in
stitution not only worthy but demand
ing of state support.
This week another state fair is be-
ing held at Hutchinson. The state
contributes to two fairs-the Free
Fair at Topeka and the fair at Hutch
inson. Topeka draws from all over
the state - especially from the east
ern. the northwestern. and central and
the southeastern sections of the state.
Hutchinson draws from the entire
southwest. from the central and parts
OF the southeast. In other words
there Is plenty OF room IN Kansas for
the two fairs. The immense crowds
Indicate that Topeka has a wonderful
territory-and an appreeiatlve one.
Hutchinson will indicate the same
without q doubt.
Secretary Eastman and President
PenwelI of the Free Fair-two men
who have devoted time and energy
and have built up the exposition
state that next year a new grandstand.

Boston's striking policemen prob
ably viii find little sympathy outside
the ranks Of the labor unions. They
are not strikers; they are deserters.
They are not hired men In the ordi-
nary sense; they are officers of the
government and have taken an oath
TO uphold its laws. That oath they
have violated. The action of the po-
lice commissioner in declaring their
places vacant will be generally COM
mendcd. II the right of a policeman
TO strike when conditions do not suit
him be recognized there will be moth
ing TO deter him from striking in the
face OF the violation OF any law of
which he may not approve. II he can
strike on his own account he can
strike on account OF the grievances of
others. The other labor unions can
not afford to uphold the policemen in
their unreasonable course.

THE BAD DAYS.
Oh, now and then there comes along
A day when everything goes wrong,
1t seems to be the fate Of man,
Altho be does the best he can,
To meet from time to time a day
When all his plans will go astray;
He may have rested well at night,
He has his hearty appetite,
His body feels no touch Of pain,
He's keen of eye and quick of brain
Or so he thinks himself to be
And yet his work IL poor to see.
His fingers tumble all they touch,
HIS hands villa not accomplish much.
He makes mistakes which are absurd,
Misunderstands the spoken word,
And tho he diligently tolls,
Whate'er he tries to do he spoile
From dawn until the day 10 gone
His troubles pile up one by one,
And constantly before his eyes
New difficulties seem to rise
Nor skill nor strength nor all his pluck
Can save him from his sorry luck.
On such day, and to rs all.
II seems that such a day must fall;
In vain II Is to fret or curse
Bad conduct makes bad matters worse;
Go take the losses and the cares,
Let failure strike you unawares
And miss the goal you ought to win
But meet your troubles with a grin:
Laugh at thee plans which 70 astray--
You cannot help them anyway
Bad days depart Just like the rest
And no mans always ut his best

Let no one be deceived. says the
Manufacturers Record, by vainly
imagining that It is in the power Of
congress to bring about any substan-
tial decrease in the cost of living.
Temporary fluctuations will prove de-
ceptive. In some few things there
may be a permanent decrease. but not
in many until the trend OF people from
tho country to the city is changed and
the pendulum swings back to the
country again. So long as the num-
Der OF producers steadily decreases
and the number OF consumers rapidly
increases we shall have a food supply
growing smaller and smaller in pro-
portion 60 our needs. All the legisla-
ton on earth against high prices can
not alter this fact.
