A WORTH WHILE MEETING

The proposed mass meeting OF
farmers for the purpose of bringing
about federation of the farm or
CARNATIONS of the state will be a
worth white gathering in every way.
The purpose is a laudable one, the
tentative program is "a splendid one,
and the attendance is sure to be
large.
The holding of this meeting in
Pullman would be OF great benefit TO
the State College and whatever bene-
hts the college benefits the whole
community. The visitors will have
an opportunity to inspect the college
plant and farm and to study the work
OF the experiment station. Such an
inspection is certain to result in an
increased attendance OF students
and better understanding between
the farmers and the officers and fac
ulty of the institution. The farmers
can make known what kind of help
they need and expect from the col
lege, and the college can demonstrate
the work which it is already doing to
aid the farmers and solve their prob
lens.
1t is safe to assume that the at
tendance will not be less than 1000,
and in all probability it will exceed
mat figure, for speakers of national
reputation will be present and the
meeting will be extensively adver-
used. To provide sleeping accom-
modations and meals for that number

large share of the cost of maintain
ing paupers and furnishing criminals,
both in the rural districts and the
cities.
As matter of fact, it looks as if
there will be more demand than ever
for grains and fruits as a result of
prohibition. When, more than a year
ago, the dstilleries of the United
States stopped the manufacture of
whisky, a great milling concern took
the leading distilleries of Peoria for
use in the manufacture of corn pro-
ducts.
An Ohio grape grower. at a state
meeting of farmers. made the asser-
ton that the grape men would fare
better under prohibition than under
the liquor regime, because of the
great demand there would be for
grape juice. Soft drink sales also
will increase, and in that increase
the fruit growers will profit.
One of the interesting forecasts
which the Anti-Saloon League makes
with respect to national prohibition
Is that it will do a great deal toward
solving the help problem. of the
farmers. Leading farmers all over
the United States have complained
that liquor has been a great him
drance to their work because of the
Incorporate habits of many en-
ployes. With prohibition in effect
this hindrance will pass away.
Furthermore, the presence of the
saloon in the cities, it is known, has
been powerful lure to many men
WHO otherwise would have continued
TO remain in the country, quiet and
contented.
In every state where prohibition
has been adopted. real estate men

POSTAL PAY

Several postal employees. who, by the way represent about
the most intelligent branch of the government service, called on
The News Scimitar yesterday afternoon with a communication
setting forth their claims for an increase in wages.
The article appears in another column on this page. 1t is a
direct and straightforward statement OF facts. The postal
employees have been VIGOROUSLY neglected by the government in
the readjustment Of wages.
1t requires a sober, honest, intelligent and painstaking man
to hold a job in the postal service. He must have education,
special training and equipment superior to that of men much
better paid, and who perform tasks requiring considerably less
skill.
The postal employees are not holding a gun in one hand
and a watch in the other" threatening to tie UP the mail service
and cripple the government, They are asking the people and
the representatives. in congress to recognize their claims, to study
them and make such revision in the scale Of pay that will be
commensurate with the cost of living, and the character of work
they perform,
This agitation started long before there was a war, and long
before prices of everything a family eats and wears went sky,
high. They deserved an increase then, and they deserve it much
more now. All Of the members Of congress that we know OF
have expressed a willingness to vote for increased pay, but none
seems to have taken it UP with sufficient interest to put it over
We hope the congress will not be long in recognizing the
rights Of the postal employees. 1t would be a good thing if the
congress would meet the demand for a square deal, submitted
respectfully and inteligently, and not only provide relief fol-
these men, but rehuke those who feel that intimidation is the
only way TO get congress to act,

ANOTHER MENACE

ALL during the meeting of the peace conference the French
gave frequent expression to their fear of another German invasion
Anyone who knows aught Of history need not be told that ths.
fear is we'll founded. France has been invaded time and again,
and Germany is only waiting the time when she can again sweep
across the Rhine to devastate and destroy, and then collect
indemnity.
France is not alone. A leading English statesman has
sounded a note of alarm which is likely to give his c~ountrymeh
many moments Of serious consideration. He, too, believes in the
comeback of Germany. Through her wonderful r%ecuperative
powers and economic training she will soon be on her feet again.
The snake has been scotched, but not killed. Germany will
seek a union with Russia, and together these two countries will
seek to overthrow England in India. Russia's dream OF empire
is not going to die in a day. 1t is Of too long standing. For the
last fifty years Russian pubicists have told Of Russia's destiny
as it seemed to them. Russia is not only going to rule INDIA,
but Europe as we'll. If the German hordes coming iron the
East meet the Russian myrmidons at Herat, they can enter India
and arouse the revolutionary masses in that country, which VIII
give England serious trouble, and perhaps destroy her suprem-
acy in the East.
This is not all. Afghan forces could be sent into the beautiful
vale of Cashmir, where more than two million people would well
come them. -
Herat is a fortress, but it has been taken time and again,
and the city destroyeds The present is the seventh city of the
name on that site. England has reason to fear Germany as well
as France, and she was as much interested in forming a pact
among the allies as anyone, and will not hesitate to call upon
her friends for help. The danger is not present, but wise states
men can see into the future and prepare for coming events.
Germany, chained and circumscribed, ais still defiant and hopeful
of the future. England, as well as France, must be on the alert,
She is vulnerable, particularly in the Far East, and the next gen
Grafton may see another war in that section.
