BUYING THE PRESIDENCY

The late Marcus A. Hanna, of Ohio,
inaugurated the first campaign for
the purchase of the presidency Of the
United States. That was twenty-four
years ago. The control Of the finan-
cial policy of the Government was at
stake. Under the presidency of Ben
jamin Harrison the Treasury depart
ment had announced to the money
lending classes and institutions of
the country that they had the right
to decide what character of money
the debts due to them should be paid
in. This was at once taken by them
as an urgent invitation to demand
payments in silver; they promptly
where treated silver as debased
coin. From the foundation of the
Government silver had been Iecog-
nized as basic money and as a con-
stitutional legal tender. This did
other gold-owners Of the world. to
whose interest it was ito double the
value of their gold by killing its
equal associate and rival, silver. Most
Of the European governments were
heavily indebted to them and were
obliged to follow their dictation in
matters of financial policy.
America was the last to hold out
robbery. and 1t was imperative that
il be brought into line with the rest
The leaders and the newspapers OF
the republican party were won over,
and the delusive cry was raised by
them that the wages Of the laboring
man should be paid in the coin that
the civilized world regarded as the
best-and that that coin was gold

RED WATER.

DR.. j. w. Kalkus, pathologist Of
the State College. who has done con-
siderable experimental work with
red water, has the following to say
in regard to the disease, after frank
ly admitting that too little is known
in regard to it:
Red water Is distinctively an at
lection of the bladder. We have iso
lated crystals from the urine and
know that the decorations are caused
by an acute affection. The bladder
set upon, yields and the immediate
symptom is red water or urine high
ly tinged with blood. AS this con-
tinues, the animal fails to be able
to replace the blood. is weakened
thereby and eventually dies. Certain
conditions observed will permit the
bladder to heal, and there may be
long periods when no blood will
show, but primary among these con-
ditions is letting the COW miss a
breeding time. and of course this
destroys her usefulness as mixer.
along this line we have learned
definitely that more cases break out

reason that many more cows calve

gravated during the latter months

man. Mr.. Hadwen, who spent years
studying the disease and who was
sent to Europe by the Canadian gov
eminent to make a closer study. II
is Hadwen's theory that the disease
is from overabundance of oxalic acid
in the animals blood. He goes on
to support his theory by citing what
he has learned. say his theory
appears most plausible, but l am no!
ready to accept it in whole.
"Hadwen located oxalic crystals in
affected animals urine and he con.
tends that he has been able to set UT
artificial cases by injection of oxalic
acid into the animals system. Some
thing that lends support to mis-
theory is the fact that in the uplands
west of the Cascades we find several
plants of high oxalic acid makeup

of Senators Johnson and Borah ~
bring to light the enormous corrun.
ton fund raised principally BY mil.
lionaires for the purpose of buyinr
the republican nomination for the
presidency in the Chicago convention,
This Committee has already obtained
from the Treasurer OF the National
Republican organization an instruc-
tive revelation OF the scheme of Dor
rowing" money from big banks.
among which are the Liberty national
Bank. of New York. in the sum Of
$125, 900; the First National Bank.
Of Boston, $4,000; the Continental
and Commercial National Bank, of
Chicago, $4,000; the Chase National
Bank. of New York. $4,000; the
Crocker National Bank. OF San Fran
cisco, $4,000.
Can any one be so simple minded
as to believe that those banks expect
to get any Of that money back? The
loans" are in reality the contribu-
tions OF those banks to the Harding
campaign. The toll levied upon them
is simply their part of the fifteen
million dollar fund by which it Is
expected to purchase the presidency
for Harding. There can be no reason
able doubt that the great banks gen.
orally. outside of the Southern States.
are called upon to subscribe to that
fund. whether nominally as a ''loan"
or not. The control Of the financial
policy Of the Government for four
years is held out to them as a pro-
fitable investment. The Federal re-
serve Banking system. founded by
democratic Congress and warmly fav-
ored by President Wilson, has saved
the country from financial panice in
the troubled times through which
we have passed. The system, let 1t
be kept clearly in mind. was opposed
to the bitter end by all those banks.
Now. being unable to abolish 1t, they
want to control 1t in their interest

profits of other lines of business. Sta
tistics show that a large number of
business men fail each year. This
applies to any business. whether it
is farming, banking. mercantile bust
nesses, etc. After going over a rath-
err large amount of figures in this
line, the writer believes fewer farm
ers fail than men in other lines of
business.
Each line of farming contributes
to the success or failure of the farm
in a financial way. 1t is believed
that farmers should know the APP
prox.mate cost of producing the diff
ferent kinds of farm products. For
example, where dairying is the prin-
cipAl lines of production, farmers
should at least know the approx
mate cost of producing milk or but
/ ter fat. II this production is too
high, farmers should study their
business carefully to determine the
reason for high cost of production
and the way of reducing the cost.
In every community surveys have
shown that about 20 per cent of the
farmers have production cost very
much lower than the average. 1t
follows then that ordinarily 20 per
cent of the farmers are making very
poor labor incomes and 20 per cent
labor incomes very much higher
than the average. The other so per
cent are neither very high nor very
low The difference lies in the farm
and the management of the farm.
Many farmers say they do not
wish to keep farm accounts on differ
ent parts of the farm. Many farm
ers advise that II they kept accounts
they would become discouraged with
farming. Every business man should
face facts. II your farm is not pay
ing. find 1t out and study the cause.
II you can't make money on your
farm. sell 1t to someone who can and
get in some other line of farming.
Mot every farmer is a dairyman, or a
tfruit grower, or man who can pro-
duce wheat, any more than any BUSH
ness man Is a banker or lawyer. Be-
cause you are not making money in
one line is no reason why you will
not be a success in some other.
Secure farm account book made
to use on a farm from your County
Agent or through the Farm Bureau.
Use it properly for year and see
whether or not your farm is making
money for you. II not. determine
the cause, secure a cost account sup
plement to be used with the regular
farm account book and test out the
different departments of the farm.

 In the raid on the Carranza camp at
 T1axcalantongo, the telegram stated,
 70 prisoners were captured. Some of
 these were later released but Il gen
 erafs, Manuel Ag1irre Berlanga, sec-
 retary of the interior, YgnaGo Bo-

 the United States, and Pauline F>ontes,
 director of the national railways, were
 placed on board the train that brought
 CaTranza's body to this city, but were
 taken off before reaching this city.
 They are said to have been taken to
 the prison at Santiago T1altelo5co.
 The fate of Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, is a. yet unknown. Some reports state that he was taken 10 prison with other CaTranza adher- ents but others are that he was never on the train Colonel Herrero's tele- gram asserts that Cabrera escaped af- ter Carranza had met death- There have been rumorS that Cabrera was killed during the fight at Tla0cal lan- tongo.
 None of the prisoners was permitted to attend the funeral of their late chief
 Colonel Herrero has offered to come to Mexico City to prove his assertion that Carranza killed himself. An in- quiry into the incident has been or dered and it is probable Herrero, who sent his telegram from Cerro Azul, state of Pueblo, will be asked to come here to explain his operations Provisional President De La Huerta will take the oath of office on June i according to present plans.

New York, May 25-The Reming- Co., is to be reorganized into a new concern, which in addition to acquir- ing the business of the present Con- necticut corporation, will take over several other concerns manufacturing products other than firearms and mu- nitions.
 The first step in the expansion pro gram was taken yesterday when the Remington Arms Co. filed a charter at Dover, Del, with an authorized capital of $110, 100000. It is under stood that among the companies to be acquired will be a number of cut lery concerns.
